Judj;e Slill Sees Something Good In 16-\ear-old Boy (Continued from page one) Possibly the boy Judge Burney saw was not the hid who stalled his taring career by robbing the West ?rn Union office here and then leav ng a crime trail through Wilming ton and the beaches there. Judge j Burney could not see in the lad a ?riminal who attempted to hold up the high sheriff and who successful ly escaped from a training school several times to travel the rods in | two states. He could not see in the | lad a criminal who broke into and j =obbed the Woolard Hardware store. 1 the Davis Pharmacy, the Purol sta- j tion and the grammar school build ng. He saw something good in the boy. and be went out of his way to help bring that something out. In a recent letter to welfare au thorities here, Charles E. Boger, superintendent of the Jackson Train ing School, near Concord, said, in hair! "For the first six or eight months Arna was here he got along fine, j He escaped on June 10, 1940, and was returned the same day from ; Harrisburg?about five miles away, j That appeared to be about the be ginning of his bad points coming out. He escaped again on July 29 unci that time made his way to Wil liamston. being reutrned to the school by the sheriff's department m a few days. Then?he eaouped again on September 15th and. has not been returned. From the time Arna first ran away until he made his last escape in September he had to be watched more or less most of tiif time, but mostly on account of is being lire being in the frame of mind to run away. Otherwise, he appeared to be all right. "Arna has the ability to do all right As to the type of treatment to recommend for the boy, we are at a loss to say. We do know that he won the Confidence of his cottage officei rrur thnse tiver him and in that way was given opportunities and privileges that a lot of other boys are not granted." It would appear that the youth has had his chances, but Judge Bur ney still holds out hope for him. Will Arna Wallace attempt another chapter in his crime book, or will he prove Judge Burney right when he said, "I feel that there is some thing good in this boy" . . .? ^ Many Tax Bills Slated For l()4l The year 1041 will bo a busy one for state legislators, the National Consumers Tax Commission reports. All but five of the legislatures will convene next year and indications are that a record number of bills will be introduced, the nation-wide women** nrpan jynitnn devoted tO economy in government, finds Bas ing its prediction on past perform ances. the commission estimates that state solons will consider some 60, 000 measures-of which about 11. 000 will be tax bills. Warning that public opinion will not tolerate any unnecessary state or local imposts at a time when taxpayers are shoul dering necessarily heavy national defense taxes, the NCTC is urging its members, and public-spirited cit izens generally to scrutinize all new tax measures carefully, even though "they average 1,000 words of none too-easy reading."

The old year is fast drawing to , a close, but at this time a year ago. the Grim Reaper had <JOm- - pleted less than two-thirds of his work on Martin County highways. In view of the rec ord. motorists would do well to practice the rules of safety to the nth degree from now on. Possibly not one of the five people killed by autos in this county during the latter part of last December even dreamed that he would never see the be ginning of a new year. Possibly if they had given the serious problem a little study and thought they would have prac ticed one little safety rule and checked the Grim Reaper. Another week of activity is chalked up in the record, boost ing the number of wrecks to 88. the number of injured to 59 and the property damage for the year to date to $10,765.

An official report states that 3, 400 Italians were killed in the Greek drive during November, but the Greek drive had hardly gotten un derway at that time War in the air has slackened after German airmen dealt London its heaviest attack of the war Sunday night. Germany today claimed new suc cesses on the seas, one report stating that 100,000 tons of British shipping had just been sent to the bottom dur ing the past few days. England is now joining the United States and Russia in extending ad ditional aid to China, a 40 million dollar loan by the British having been announced today.
