Conway CHICAGO Jim Thorpe is back on the track. He carries 36 more yenrs ;ind 30 more pounds than he did when he was hailed as the world's great est athlete at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm! His age GO has cut his speed to a dog trot, and his weight 215 keeps him out of the pole vault pit So ho has returned to the sport in the role of a coach. Thorpe is assistant to the gen eral supervisor of physical activi ties of the Chicago Park District He tours the parks to talk to kids: and to teach them the fine arts of running, jumping and tossing the shot and discus. He puts on a white sweater and a baseball cap and works with boys and girls ranging in age from eight to 20. "I like it," ho says. Thorpe is a man of few words and even fewer expressions. But the broad smile on his face as he jogs down a cinder path with a pack of youngsters at his heels shows he gets a kick out of his new job. The lads look just the same as they did a generation back. , "But they have better equipment and better facilities than when I was a boy," he says. "And there are more who go in for athletics. That means there will be more competition and more records will be broken." Thorpe finds it hard to choose his favorite sport. He won decath lon and pentathlon in the 1912 Olympics. He ranked as an all time great in college and pro foot ball. He played a fair game of baseball. "I like 'em all," he says. "But like fishing and hunting better than anything." s SALT WATER LEAGUE W.

Crowd (Continued From Patro One) fort when Mayor Husscll opened discussion on proposals to extend the town's boundaries. Mr. Wheatly stressed state legis lative rule governing town terri torial acquisitions, the principal one that tax rate for Ocean Breeze and Highland Park would be only 80 cents, that residents of those two areas would not hav to shoulder the $1 extra tax imposed on pld Beaufort landholders for debt service and reduction. Robert Herring and George EaRrman, of Ocean Breeze, and Roy Willis of Highland Park simul taneously asked what they would get for 80 cents. And when told, but in generalities, that they would get fire hydrants, water sys tems and garbage collection, Roy Willis said, "the termites take care of garbage for us. Best garbage Collectors in the world, those ter mites. They're around all day ev ery day. Beaufort can't do any better by us." , Judge Duncan, asked for his opinion, was more than succinct in stating that all discussion on incorporation was wasted breath until first, definite decision was made on what land exactly to take in, two, proper legal notice was given to all property owners. Will Arrington, appearing for Ramsey Grocery Co., and Oliver and Charles Davis appearing for Davis Bros., and William Way, ap pearing for Way Bros. Co., ap pealed to the commissioners for hading space in front of their Front St. places of. business now blocked by parking meters. Mr. Arrington said that Ram sey's had been doing business from its present location for55 years and that loading space was as nec essary to the successful prosecu tion of buiness' as any other fac tor. He accused Commissioner Dave Merrill of self favoritism in leaving un-metered driveway space tor Merrill's residential property! almost directly across the street from Ramsey's. Mr. Merrill retorted on another tack by pointing out that C. D. Jones Co., Pender's, Spence's, and other establishments had problems, similar to those of Way's, Davis' and Ramsey's but had yet to com plain. Mr. Arrington, still sticking to the point that Mr. Merrill was all for parking meters for everybody but himself, pointed out hat load ings at retail stores can be gov erned in the matter of time but that loadings and unloadings for wholesale houses was a matter al ways of urgent immediacy. Mr. Way said that on tho prev ious "Saturday he was unable to ice fish on his floors because he could, not move an ice truck to his door, ' meter-parked autos having taken all space. Both Oliver and Charles Davis cited similar ex amples of waste.' Mr. Arrington told how he was obliged to let a truck half-loaded with flour stand in drenching rain recently because it could not be backset up to his unloading platform, v v.. Mr. Merrill agreed 'to call a meeting of tho meter committee composed of himself, J. O. Bar bour, Jr., and Clifford Lewis! "I want no secret meetings," Mr. Arrington expostulated, "no star sessions." He- thumped the table before him. Mr. Merrill said the meeting would be held Thursday evening (last evening) and that all busi ness men of the south side of Front St. between Craven and Queen would be invited to attend. According to the town's finan cial statement for May, receipts totaled $3.9(iG 81. expenses, $3, 054.85, deposited in debt service fund, $643.90, and the balance on hand June 1 was $268.06. Paid to the Karpark corporation for freight on meters and instal lation was $743.77. This, subtract ed from the amount collected dur ing April and May, left a balance of. $337.11, half of which will be forwarded to the Karpark corpor ation in partial payment of the meters. The other half will be re tained by the town. Teen-Age (Continued From Page One) and votes will be counted each night by the chnperones. Each member may cast only one vole tonight.
