The army cook had just whipped
up orders of fried eggs for a hungry
mob of soldiers. Wearied by his
herculean efforts, he sat down,
yawned, lit a black cigar and wrote
a letter to his sweetheart.
Darling" he began, "for the past
three hours shells have been burst
ing all around me"
Who was that girl saw you out
with last night?"
Il wasn't out; was just doing"
A maiden who walked on the Corso
Displayed much too much of her
torso;
A crowd soon collected
But no one objected,
And some were in favor of more
so.

Fearless Action, Not
Excuses, Is Whot
Is Now Needed
BY Charles D. Rowe

President Truman's recent fire
side chat to the nation apparently
did not arouse much enthusiasm.
It's too bad The problems he
discussed are highly important.
Their speedy solving is most neces-
sary. If the congress feels incap-
able of passing the measures pro
vided by the President, it most as
suredly should originate legisla-
ton of its own and speedily enact
it into law.
It has been pointed out that fail
ure to enact the legislation rests
on the Presidents own party, which
is we'll in control of the congress.
That, of course, cannot be denied.
But regardless of where the blame
lies the nation wants action.
The Congress appears afraid to
act in the strike situation, an
election is too close. The strike
is apparently growing worse and
threatens the nations prosperity.
ViG..-u5 GnG wise measures are
needed. No minority group of men
should be permitted to hamString
national prosperity On the other
hand, utmost care must be exercised
to see that labor's real rights are
given every protection. But strikes
are an economic waste. There ought
to be some plan by which they
can be made unnecessary. That
calls for real and fearless states
manship. Do we have it today?
The charge that much of the
Presidents desired legislation would
merely continue and increase the
wild and extravagant spending OF
past years is well taken. Ultimate
destruction of the nations finan-
cial foundations is certain if the
government fails to start operating
within its income To continue
planning to spend more and more
millions is folly. The congress is
wise to move slowly in that direct
ion
A number of the Presidents
other measures bear the mark OF
doubtful VISIONS But be that as
tit may, reconversion back to nor
NAL national life and the insuring
of continued property are being
hindered by congressional delay
A., Let's have more action.
We have every sympathy with
our soldiers on foreign soil who are
angered at the delay in returning
them home. That is a natural hui
, man reaction to the months spent
i away from loved ones and then
native land away from home. Blu
government officials are insisten
that our position in working out (

that requirements are not large

Armed With Moving Machine;
Brunswick Man Kills Snake

not apt to be attended with very
serious results.
The killing of the big rattle~ was
in a very unusual manner. Mr..
Mooney was travelling along the
Supply-Holdens Beach road with
his moving machine. He saw the
snake in the grass at the side OF
the road several feet ahead. Let
ting down the cutter bar OF the
machine and putting the blade IN
action, he drove over the reptile.
After the fashion of -attlers, the
big fellow lifted its head and got
it in the neck.
Many Snakes Killed
Rains have contributed to the
killing of hundreds of poisonous
and non-poisonous snakes in Bruins
wick county this year. Probably a
hundred rattlers, diamond backs,
banded and c~anebrakes, have been
killed. according to reports.
Rattlers and c~opperheads. both
deadly. and a large number OF
non-poisonous snakes, like the
swamps and thicklyL wooded areas
when such places = dry. This
year such places have turned into
lakes and the snakes immigrated
to the higher and more open
spaces. They have been more
easily found with the resultant
increased number of casualties.
Rattles No Index
Contrary to the general belief,
the number of rattles on a banded.
diamond back o. canebrake rattle
snake is no index to the age of
the reptile. although it is natural
that the older ones should usually
have more of these ornaments.
The number of rattles seems to
depend much on the individuality
