Collects Indian Relics
Mr.. Brown has fine collection
of Indian relics which he has
found in the vicinity of his home
at ,Marshallberg and in other
parts of this section of the state.
His son, Roy, was the first white
child born in Belhaven after the
Incorporation of the town. Most of
the other children were born in
Carteret County.
Though in his Bath years, Mr..
Brown is hale and hearty and
though he loves to read, he's never
had to use, as he puts it, 'specta-
cles.'
His study of history started
while he was in service and he has
been a student of the subject ever
since.

OLD NET STAKES STILL
MENACE IN OUR WATERS

Raleigh.-Old fish net stakes left
by commercial fishermen and
others and no longer used continue
to be an increasing menace to boats
using the States navigable waters,
Director Ben E. Douglas of the
Department of Conservation and
Development said today.
Douglas renewed a recent appeal
he made to fishermen and other
stake settlers to remove such nets
so that not only will boat traffic
on the States navigable streams
may be increased but made safer
as well for the growing number
of tourists and others using such
waters for commercial or pleasure
purposes.
The extent to which old net
stakes are left to rot in the States
navigable waters, Douglas said, is

(By Hal Shapiro in


Carteret County News imes)
Julian Brown, resident of Car

Mr.. BROWN. a native of Hyde

stock raiser, though at one time
he was a lumberman, policeman,
Army private and storekeeper.
Though he had only seven
months of formal schooling in his
hometown of Swan Quarter, Mr..
Brown is well versed on history,
going back to the days of the
Roman Empire, and can recite
most everything he reads. He
stated that he has been told he
has Photographic memory.
In 1895 he left home and went
to Fl. Monroe, Va, where he
joined the Army on May 1. He
signed up for a three-year hitch
with B Battery, 3rd Coast Artil-

Nv FRITZ POLLARD

NEW YORK.-(Global)-a num-
Der of people, including sports
writer's, seem to be lamenting the
advent of television when it comes
to baseball. They say TV is kill
ing the sport. Dan Daniel, often
referred to as the dean of the
country's baseball reporters, is
quoted as having said that the
game is cutting its own throat. He
made a three-point proposal for
revitalizing attendance: l. the crc-
alton of a major league promotion
bureau in New York "to handle all
avenues which are begging for
baseball; 2, stop televising home
games; and 8, stop selling off all
the decent seats in the park before
the season opens.
These, of course, are excellent
proposals from a man who knows
what he's talking about. But there
is still another phase of the prob
lem that not too many of the writ
ers emphasized, and that is one
that is an individual park problem.
Time was, when a baseball game
was a thing that could be enjoyed
on relatively little outlay of cash.
A good seat could be had at NOM
inal price and an afternoon was
well spent in happy atmosphere

and you were all set.
Then came the concessionaires.

you must start way ahead of time

lot. Once inside the ballpark, you

L. A. c., of Arlington, writes:
I have often heard the express
sion double in brass" and to-
day I saw it in print. What is
the meaning and origin of this
expression?
To double in brass is to hold
down two different and unlike
jobs in the same concern, as to
keep the books and to double in
brass as stenographer.
Originally the expression was
used only in show business (note
that the article is always omit
ted; not "the show business")
Small itinerant troupes, such as
medicine shows, minstrel shows,
Tom" (Uncle Toms Cabin
companies, required their per-
formers to double; that is, to
play two parts in the same
show. Such troupes usually
staged a parade, with brass
band, before each show began.
Most of the actors. singers, and
other personnel, played instru-
ments in the brass band. This
was called doubling in brass" "

PRAISE: Fiorello La Guardia
was an air force major in Italy
during World War I. In addi-
tion to his combat duties, he had
to make numerous speeches to
the Italian populance. These
were to offset the anti-American
propaganda.
One day, just after he had
finished speech, he hoped into
a plane and took of on a bomb
! ing raid. Arriving over the tar
get. he dropped his bomb. Be-
fore he could tell whether he
/ had scored a hit, the pilot
banked the plane sharply. Over
the roar of the motor, La Guar
dia shouted:
How was it?"
Great" shouted back the
pilot. 1T was the best speech
you ever made!"

match him in telling tales, Mark

no-trump call was automatic.
Mr.. Dale led the deuce Of
spades. This was, in itself. a sort
of signal. Since the usual lead
against no-trump contracts is
the fourth highest card in your
longest and best suit. the deuce
of spades indicated that Mr. Dale
had exactly four cards in that
suit.
