VISITING SpEED5TER5 DOMINATE JULY 4Th SPEED BOAT RA(E

The July Fourth speedboat races held off the Government dock were dominated by the faster boats iron Petersburgh driven by almost pro- fessional drivers.
 The first race of three laps was strictly a local affair with FranH Drouin using 25 horsepower motor on his racing shell taking the Sl0t first prize. Second prize was taker by Perry Tonsgard and third by Robert D. Miller. Both second anc third prize winners used 22 horse power motors and were paid $50 and $25 respectively.
 The second race saw the thirc place prize slip from the hands oi Frank Drouin racing his boat the Poison Ivy when he overturned rounding the last marker to come into the finish line. Bob Elkins rac- ing the Juneau-Y Young boat powered by 10 horsepower Mercury Hurri- cane took first and Eugene Wood second place with his racer powered by 10 horsepower Mercury Hurr.- can This event was for three laps Prizes were $100 for first, $50 for second.
 The third race of five laps featur- ed three boats from Petersburg. Por- poise No 3 powered by 25 horse power Mercury won first place driven by Dick Kito and Porpoise No. 2 powered by 50 horsepower Evin- rude. took second. Hack White in the Joak konked out on the fourth lap with a plugged fuel line anc missed third prize Prize money was $100 for first and $75 second. The Kites are a father and son team.
 The free for all race of five laps was delayed until the Joak was put back in running order. Porpoise No. 3 took first money of Sl00, the Joak took second for $50 and Porpoise No. 2 won third for $25. A total of seven boats started the race with the local boats dropping out before the end of the race because of the lack of speed.
 Two seiners took the prize money in the fishing boat event out of a field of four boats. The Admiralty owned and skippered by George James took first prize of S200 and the SIS owned and skippered by Peter Johnson was second for $100 Both boats are from Angoon.
 The last race of five laps featured two. three-point suspension racers from Petersburg. This race was by far the fastest of the program that saw the lead exchanged several times. Dick Kito. faster on the turns, was narrowly nosed out at the fin ish line by Hack White. White drove the Money Sunk powered by 50 horsepower Evinrude and Kito drove the Widowmaker powered by 25 horsepower Mercury. Both boats had been built by Dick Tito's father, Tom Kito.
 AS a display of his driving skill, Dick Kito swung his Widowmaker around the first marker and at full speed went past Jack Burford's cruiser the Donjac with only four inches between the shell and cruiser.

LESLIE O'NEAL
NODDED; HORSE
MISSED FIRST
Being Easy on His Horse Cost
New Holland Man $3.50;
Wins Second Prize

Leslie O'Neal of New Holland is
off to the races this month, and
last week his famed trotter Mick
ey Volemfte got narrowly nosed
out of first place at Laurel, Mary
land, and missed the $3.50 first
prize, but did win second. How this
horse, which has won first place
many times during the four years
owned by Mr.. O'Neal, missed out
is interesting. The horse was way
ahead of the other nine entries in
the race. Mr.. O'Neal, who was driv-
ing himself, was taking it easy and
being easy on his horse. He was
saving the horse and appeared an
easy winner, and Stacked off.
But there was so much noise of
cheering, etc, that he didn't hear
another horse come up behind him.
So Mickey missed by a nose in the
photo finish. Mr.. O'Neal's horses
are in Baltimore this week, and
will be in Ocean City, Md, next
week. With Mr.. O'Neal is Tom E.
Saunderson who looks after the
horses.
Mickey Volemite weighs 1000
pounds.

TOMATO QUESTIONS POP
UP AT THIS SEASON

The following are five perennial
questions about tomatoes that
home makers put to food special
lists, and their answers, says Ruth
Current, State Home Demonstra-
ton Agent:
/. Do tomatoes form acid in the
body? No. Tomatoes are acid as
eaten, but in the process of diges-
ton and metabolism in the body,
they ultimately have an alkaline
reaction.
2. Is it safe to cook tomatoes,
or heat them for canning, in alum
inUm pans? Yes. There is no evil
dence that the small amount of
aluminium dissolved by tomatoes
heated in aluminium pans is harm
fuI.
8. Is it safe to leave canned to-
matoes in the tin after opening?
Yes. If they are kept cold and COW
cred. A slight metallic flavor may
develop, but it is harmless.
a. Is tomato juice spoiled when
it separates? No. Just before US
ing, shake or stir vigorously.
5. Why do home-canned tomatoes
sometimes float in the jar? The
pack may be too loose, or air in the
tissues of tomatoes has not all
been forced out during heating or
processing.
Many other facts about tomatoes
are included in new publication
entitled "Tomatoes-Facts for Con-
sumner Education" (AIB-32) pre-
pared for teachers, writers, extern
sion workers, marketing special
lists, and others whose job is help

The usual rustic that always
precedes the taking up of the offer
tory spread through the church, as
the congregation opened purses or
put hands into pockets. This soft
confusion was broken by the IN
mistakable sound of a silver piece
hitting the floor with a resounding
smack, and the shirring sound that
told of its rolling along.
Suddenly a shrill infantile voice
broke the silence: ooh, Mommie,
here's a fifty-cent piece. Let's put
it in the plate and save our money"

SURRY FARMER PLANTS
OVER $4,000 SEEDLINGS


w. B. Williams of Mountain
Park, Surry County, is man who
really appreciates the value of farm
woodland. In the past Is years he
has planted 1000 white pines and
II, 900 shortleaf pines, and today he
has Is acres of thriving pine tim
Der, with practically every tree liv-
ing and growing.
Walter M. Keller, forestry spec
ialist for the State College Exten-
sion Service, says Williams inter
est in forestry goes back at least
to 1925, when he moved to his
farm along the Mitchell River. To
obtain the timber needed to con-
struct home and outbuildings, he
selectively cut his forest land. To-
day this area is covered with a
thriving stand of white pines and
mixed hardwoods, with some of the
pines big enough to make sawlogs.
In 1885, when Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps boys filled up gullies
and planted trees on his farm, the
Surry farmer was quick to see the
value of this work and has con-
tinued to set out some trees every
year since. Now in his sixties, he is
still enthusiastic about setting out
seedlings. He says that every time
he sets an acre of pines, he i'm
mediately increases the sale value
of the land at least SIS an acre.
Williams has practiced careful
woodland management on his farm
over the years. He used about 20
cords of firewood and fluewood ev-
cry year. He gets this wood by re-
moving dead, diseased, crooked,
and tweed" trees from his timber.
Any openings he makes are quick
ly replanted. By burning brush
only on rainy days, he has kept
fire out of his woods since 1925.

The sight of the complaint book
and the ready pen had its effect.

made.

1.-The Military Scene
By George Fielding Eliot

PARIS. Mar. 24.-Recently
watched 80 young conscripts OF
the 93d Infantry Regiment crawl
ing through the wire ENHANCEMENT
which they call the chicken-coop
Criss-crossed barbed wire was just
inches above their writhing backs
occasional bursts from a hidden
machine-gun tipped bullets just
inches above the wire. 1t was cold
and it was raining-the fine pene-
trating drizzle of northern France.
The mems rifles and their field
equipment-which they would
presently have to clean-were
caked with mud, to say nothing of
their olive-drab uniforms, their
boots, their hands, their faces.
They looked miserable down there
in the mud, these French boys
whose term of military service had
just been raised from IL months
to IL months by an unfeeling
government.
Yet as the first four men
emerged from the four parallel
tunnels" of the wire coop and
scrambled to their feet. one of
them brandished his old-fashioned
bolt-action rifle at a sergeant
standing near the machine-gun
and called out something which I
didn't quite catch. All four kids
howled with laughter. They
dashed under culvert, scrambled
up a slippery incline of planks,
swarmed over very tricky 10-foot
wooden obstacle and ran on, bend
ing low. rifles at the ready. The
rest of the half-platoon followed
them.
I turned in establishment to Col.
A. j. P. Michau, the 93d's veteran
commander, who stood beside me
on the culvert.
why they're full of beans!" I
exclaimed.
COMMENT" demanded the
colonel.
I rephrased the remark into bad
French.
The colonel chuckled.
News Gets Around.
They weren't like that a month
ago. he told me. But now-did
you understand what that con-
script called out to the sergeant?"
I shook my head. So the
colonel explained:
He held up his rifle and cried:
You won't mind if I don't clean
this tonight. sergeant-Ill have
a new one next week You see,
my boys have heard the news"
What news, colonel?"
The colonel squared his Shout
derS.
"On April Is next" he an
nounced in the tone of one who
reads a citation from the Presi-
dent of the Republic, "the 93d In
fantry ceases to be a territorial
regiment and becomes an inter-
vention regiment"
The colonel didn't have to tell
me what that meant, since I'd al
ready been briefed at French army
headquarters and by American Of
ficers Of the Military Assistance
Advisory Group. The "interven-
ton" units of the French army
are those which are to be immedi-
ately re-equipped with modern
arms and are to intervene" be-
tween the frontiers of France and
any approaching foe. Five such
diviSions-two armored and three
infantry-already exist. Five more
are being formed this year-four
with American weapons
and one with new French weapons
just coming into production. The
93d Infantry, then, was to be a
part OF one of these new divisions,

six years, just a mechanism for
training conscripts with obsolete
material.
Training Is Tough.
1.-The trainings been tough all
along" Col. Michau went on as
we walked through the rain toward
camp headquarters. We've put
our annual classes of conscripts
Through it ever since the end OF
the war. But it had no meaning
no purpose. when there were nc
arms with which to Highland the
men knew that just as we'll as we
did. Now it begins to mean some
thing. Now they can feel real pride
in the regiment and it's traditions
and in themselves when they GO
home on leave. Now they go home
on leave. Now they can expect
the people of France to have pride
and confidence in them"
He took me by the arm, led the
way up the steps of one of the
headquarters buildings, and into a
long room.
VOLTA" said he, pointing to the
beautifully decorated placards
which covered the walls. These
the men have done themselves
and I have seen them weeping
while they worked. This is an old
regiment. my friend, a regiment
with history, regiment with a
soul. In 1706 it was born-it was
then the Regiment d'Enghien, and
Louis XIV was King of France. It
fought the British under MARI
borough, it fought the Austrians,
1t went to Haiti in 1880 with De
erase"
A scrap of half-forgotten his
tory came back to me, and I real
lied that only the accident of lack
Fof shipping space had prevented
this very regiment from having
been with Washington at York
town.
The colonel was still speaking.
Then the wars of Napoleon
Castlglione. Wagram, Moscow
these names are on our colors, too.
l859-1870-the two World Wars
the 93d of the line fought
through them all. My boys today
are the heirs of all that. But the
men who fought at Minden and at
Wagram. though they might have
been hungry or cold or ragged, had
at least weapons which were the
equal of the weapons of their
enemies. Soldiers. to be soldiers,
must have pride in their corps
AND in their arms. When the new
weapons come from America, the
pride of the 93d of the line will
be restored to it. We shall have
found again the soul of the regi-
ment."
Skeptical at First.
They were still a little skeptical.
the men of the 93d-they didn't
quite believe it was true. Even
though the United States training
manuals for the new arms had al
ready arrived and were being
studied by officers and sergeants.
But they will see soon the
Garand rifles. the new machine
guns. the bazookas," the colonel
said. Our fete day of the 93d is
July 5-the day of the Battle of
Wagram. On that day shall have
a regiment-full strength and
fully armed"
The colonels eyes glistened with
unshed tears. A passing corporal,
hearing part of the colonel's words,
with a snap and marched
past, head held very high.
ut will be regiment" the
colonel concluded, which will
never forget that America provid-
ed it with its weapons. 1t will be
a regiment which will never let
you down."
