agance and fripperies that he

Uncle Jim" gives less thought
to specific inventions-like cleo
trio lights, the telephone, automo-
biles, moving pictures, airplanes,
radio, professionalism to changes
in a way of life that make the
world OF today entirely different
from the world into which he was
Iurn. He has taken the changes
III his stride. He liked the small
nd tGss-,i,,.s hemmed in by. the
sea and by sandy wastes that
made land travel slow and diff
cult. He likes, as well, the big
world in which modern transport
alton and communications make
all the peoples of the earth his
neighbors.
Four or five years ago Uncle
Jim" buried his third wife. He
bought a small house on Village
Point, overlooking the Shallotte
River. There he lives alone. He
does his own cooking, his own
cleaning, his own washing, his
own housekeeping. He is content
cd thus to round out his life be-
side the waters which he has
known and loved so well.
The suggestion that he must
have been quite "lady's man"
to have attracted three wives to
his bed and board is Indignantly
denied by Uncle Jim" His only
thought of the gentler sex, he
firmly asserts, has always been
to protect them. He is convinced
that not one of the three would
have looked at him the second
time had he been otherwise.
His first wife left a lasting i'm
print upon "Uncle Jim" 1t was
because of her influence, he ex-
plains, that his speech is more
scholarly than cologquial
There was an angel if one
ever walked the EARTH" he says.
"She was a highly educated lady

with never a harsh or unfriendly
thought. She was college gradu-

BY ETHEL AND CHARLIE
RYAN

He has seen a new world being
created!
That is James F. Trips way
of saying, there have been some
changes made" since he was born
into world that has moved rap
idly in the 90 years of his life.
"Cnc.e Jim," as he is fonoiy
known throughout Brunswick
County, was a war baby" His
first erie ve-c -Inctuated by the
roar of artillery fire from Fort
CaSwell and answering blasts
from Yankee gunboats that were
olockading the Cape Fear and
Shallotte Rivers and trying to de-
stroy all craft which might run
supplies to the Confederate froces.
Talk about remembering when
Uncle Jim" can match re-
collections with the champion re-
membererS, and make it sound
like their tales were of things
which happened yesterday.
Uncle Jim has spent most of
his life on Village Point. When
his daddy left the turpentine
camps in South Carolina to join
up with the Confederate Army,
he took his bride to stay with her
mother in the ''old Piggott place"
which was already an ancient
Village Point landmark. Before
the baby came, however, cannon
balls from the Yankee ships were
falling too close for comfort of
safety. The young expectant
mother sought refuge at the home
of Bryant Mintz, a mile or so
further inland. That's how limited
was the naval artillery of the
1905. And that's how it came
that ''Cncie Jim" was born in
''Starboard Swamp"
He remembers when coal oil
lamps were a luxury. Kerosene
was scarce and expensive. So
were candles, for that matter
Young and old went to bed with
the chickens. If body had to get
around. outside, after dark, a fat
pine knot made an excellent lat
ern.
"Uncle Jim" grew up in small
world, a world of toll and of few
pleasures. A man who could give
his wife and young ones the bare
necessities of life didn't have to
envy others the luxuries he was
unable to afford-because he was

that officials to close prior to that
date" said Mr.. Walden.
Many factors govern the clos
ing date of the market At the
present time, the quality of the
potatoes is much better than those
on the market last season: how
ever. if the quality begins to drop
- market would tend to close.
The increase in average price
per bushel is justified. Although
40 quantity Of yams has dropped
the quality has been greatly i'm
proved" remarked Mr.. Walden
when asked about reasons for the
increase Of 40 cents per bushel
being paid.
Corbett Canning Company Of
ficials reported that over 10000
bushels of slips had been purch-
ased for canning purposes.

Underdog Devils Win
7-6 Over Whiteville

A heart warming goal line stand
IN the final seconds of the annual
spirited grid event between
VAUDEVILLE and Tabor City gave
the Red Devils well earned 7-6
victory Friday night and rang
down the curtain on Coach Dave
Diamonds initial year with the
local squad.
Victory almost slipped from the
clutches of the Devils late in the
final period as the Wolfpack re-
ceived Jason Soles' tumble on the
Devil 35. With Charles Rocks and
Virgil Roberts alternating the
Wolfpack drove to the Devil one
foot line where they were given
first down. A backfield in mo-
ton penalty nullified Pack
touchdown and moved the ball to
the D. With the Devils showing
early season form the Packs eff
forts were in vain and their late
bid for victory went in vain. The
Devils gained possession of the
oval and ran out the clock in two
plays.
Some 700 spectators watched
the Wolfpack spring Jackie Turb-
erville loose for 57-yard touch
down jaunt in the second period.
An attempted point after touch
down through the air lanes fell
incomplete but the Pack had a
60 lead at intermission.
With the Pack kicking off at
the start of the second half. the
Red Devils marched from their
own 35 to the Wolfpack II. II
was then time for Devil Back
Billy Wright to show his wares
as he plunged through the center
of the Pack line, twisted and
turned away from a host of tack
lers and fell into the end zone
The margin of victory was estab-
lishcd when Captain Jerry Cart
rette calmly split the uprights
with the much needed point-after-
touchdown.
Much of the credit for setting
up the lone Devil score goes to
Fullback Billy Wright and ALL
State Candidate Jerry Cartrette.
Both boys churned out yardage
time after time.
Although the score spells the
difference, it was the fine Devil
line play that made victory posi-
BILE. For the first time since mid
season the Devil forward wall
seemed to possess the will to win.
Tommy Collier, Nathaniel Har-
relSon, Bobby Wright, Ben Spi-
vey and Tally Eddings plugged
the center of the line for more
than three quarters and it was
their combined efforts in the wan
ing seconds that choked the Pack
threat.
Jack Cox and newcomer in
the TANKER spot, Johnny Bruton,
were alert in pushing Pack run
nerS back into the center of the
line.
1t wasn't all Devil play during
the tilt, the Pack had its stars as
Back Charles Rocks and Jackie
Turbeville guided the Pack Of
Tense and were constant breaka-
way threats.
One Of the outstanding linemen
of the game was Pack Center Joe
Creekmore. The hefty lineman
was credited with a majority of
the Pack tackles.

The Eastern Regional Indus
trial Security Board was under
Navy orders today to review its
clearance of DR.. Edward U. Con-
don. former chief Of the Bureau
Of Standards, for ''limited access
to industrial security informa-
tion."
Secretary Of the Navy Thomas
announced yesterday that he had
ordered the review on recon-
mendation Of the ONCE of Navy
Materiel, which is headed by Vice
Admiral Murray L. Royal. The
Nays interest in the Condor
case stemmed from the fact that
It has contracts with a firm with
which DR.. Condor now is asso-

cropped up in numerous security
inquiries, is director Of re-
search and development at the

eral days ago that he had been
granted the clearance in July.
Thomas Statement.
Mr.. Thomas issued the follow
ing statement:
ST have just finished a review
Of the action of the Eastern Re-
gional Industrial Security Board
granting DR.. Condor limited ac-
cess to industrial security infor-
nation. Based upon this review,
I have determined there is suff1-

by the regional board, I am or

Normally, q clearance decision

unless additional information
comes to light. Mr.. Thomas said
that the regional boards handle
a greater number Of cases and
that 1t was not unusual that it
would have taken several months
for the matter to come to him.
He denied that the publication
of the Corning announcement
that DR.. Condor had been grant,
