MONGER THROWS SUPPORT TO HUX Sanford County Young Demo cratic Club Presidential Aspirant Withdraws RALEIGH, Aug. 27.—UP>—Ralph Monger, Jr., of Sanford, reading clerk in the 1941 house, withdrew today as a candidate for the presi dency of the Young Democratic club of North Carolina, and an nounced that he would run instead for secretary. ; He said also that his support for the presidency would go to A. Leo nidas Hux of Halifax, who also has the support of three others who had been mentioned as possible candi dates—Alan Marshall of Wilmington and Gene Simmons and L. H. Foun tain, both of Tarboro. Hux is now the only announced aspirant for the post. Clarence B. Hood of DUnn, who had been listed as a potential can didate, has said he would not run but has not announced his choice for president. Officers will be elected at the Young Democrats’ convention in Winston-Salem September 18-20. Monger said he had just com pleted a trip into western North Carolina and felt certain that "the strong pledges of support offered my candidacy for state president in that area” would join him in sup porting Hux. Monger changed his Plans, he said, to preserve party harmony among young Democrats. One other candidate, Dr. J. B. Saunders, of Morganton, has an nounced for the secretaryship. No one has said he would run for treasurer. Henrietta Price of Asheville is seeking to become vice president, and Patsy Davenport of Greenville is the only announced candidate for national committeewo man. There are two candidates for na tional committeeman—Charles Gold of Rutherford county and James Kessler of Rowan county. Broughton Dissatisfied With Fortified Wine Law; Hints Stricter Regulation RALEIGH, Aug. 27.—(#1—There have been many complaints of vio lations of the 1941 law regulating and restricting the sale of forti fied wines, and the State Board of Alcoholic Beverage Control is con trol is considering strict regula tions to correct the situation, Gov ernor Broughton said today. He conferred with Robert Grady Johnson, chairman, and the two other beard members on the sub ject, and told them that he would support regulations to curb the traffic. The last legislature limited the ale of fortified wines to the 26 ( unties with liquor stores and placed the sale of such beverages under the supervision of the state board.

They pointed out that scarcity of metals needed in the manufacture of the machines #has forced an almost complete halt in their production. Councilmen also were informed that the minimum cost of the de vices would be approximately $42.50 each, plus the charge of erecting them after they are received here. It was estimated that two months would be required for their installa tion. However, the council brought out the point that the meters would cost the city nothing off hand in a3 much RAPID PACKAGE DELIVERY Between Wilmington and Jacksonville North Carolina Only Packages of 150 lbs or less accepted for Transportation FOR FURTHER INFORMATION Wilmington Jacksonville Dial 3311 Dial 3226 as they were being tried out as an experiment bn a rental basU where by the company would receive a certain percentage of the “take,” and the city the remainder. All revenues derived from the companies through this method would be applied against the pur chase price when and if the council approved. It was also pointed out by couneilmen that the city was not installing the machines as a revenue measure, but instead as a means of helping relieve the parking problem in the downtown area. Alexander H. Bell, Norfolk, and George L. Stearns, local representa tive of the Dual Parking Meter company of Oklahoma City, demon strated the parking meter manu factured by their company, origina tors of the first parking meter in the office of City Manager James G. Wallace. Also present as demonstrators were Larry Chappelle, Hartford, Conn., and Winder Hughes, Wilmington, representing the Mark-Time Meter company of Hartford. Present plans call for charges of one cent for twelve minutes park ing and five cents for One hour. Both the meters demonstrated per mit the motorist a period of grace before the officer gives a ticket for excessive parking time. A compact mechanism, which is fool-proof, oper ates the meter, and the city will be able to train its own maintenance men, it was pointed out. Informal discussion among the couneilmen brought forth the agree ment that the best hours for the meters to operate would be between 8 a. in. and 6 p. m. on week days, and 8 a. m. and 10 p. m. on Satur days. It is expected that the council will soon take action on the parking meter plan, after several other com panies have demonstrated their machines.

"tank killer” battalion made its bow in mimic warfare today and the tanks came off second best. The "tank killers”—officially the provisional general headquarters tank destroyer battalion—went into action with blank- ammunition against four light tanks in a dem onstration before government offi cials, newsmen, photographers and newsreel cameramen. All but four tanks were declared put out of action, while the attack ers lost, several "jeeps.” The "jeeps,” small, fast, flat-bod ied cars, darted out at the tanks, peppering them with :’,7 millimeter blanks and drawing them within range of the 75 millimeter guns car ried on half-tractors, steel-sided cars with wheels in front and caterpillar treads behind. Observers declared the tanks were put out of action when the 75s opened up. The new battalion is an offensive, rather than a defensive, outfit. It is designed for more fire-power and mobility than other anti-tank units. SCREWY NEWS / Bv GLADWIN HILL BOSTON. Aug. 27.—(The Special News Service)—If you don’t have luck fish'ng, maybe your trouble is that you’re using too oldfash ioned a technique. Recent piscatorial reports indi cate the fish have grown sophisti cated and flighty, making tradi tional tactics obsolete. You’ve probably heard you should use bait. Not necessary at all. Rhudy downs of Emporia, and cast a nice, fancy plub after Hass. Up came a three-pounder and lunged at it, and plopped right into the boat—missing the plug completely. At a recent fishing contest in Miami, Okla., as the starting gun went off, before a fisherman even could get his line in the water, a 1 1-2 pound black bass jumped into his boat. . . And in Wilson, N. Y.. a man and his wife were out for a quiet boat ride, without even a line, and a bass jumped into their boat. A Topeka, Kas., man, caught in a floof, picked off a dozen carp with a golf club. . . A Hickory, N C., man trapped two nine-inch catfish in a pickle»jar. . . And two boys in Beaufort, N. C., caught a 45 pound porpoise with their bare hands. Even assuming bait’s a good idea, there’s no telling what the fish may go for— A lady in Dearing, ■ Mo., caugm a carfish on a bag of cottage cheese she had lowered into the well to cool. . . A fish in Indian apolis tried to swallow an 18-inch sashweight. . . A fish caught in El Paso county, Texas, turned out to have swallowed three corned beef cans. . . And in Plainfield, N. J., a 2 1-2 pound weakfish was discovered with a gold watch in its stomach—still running! It’s getting so that when you go fishing, you can’t even be sure you’re going to get fish. A fisher man in Palmer, Neb., cast his hook into a river and pulled it out with an owl on it. . . And a fisher man in Baraboo, IVis., landed a four-foot rattlesnake. Amid all this confusion, the saf est course perhaps is that taken by a parson in Goldsboro, N. C., who stopped in at the market and asked them to toss a couple of fish at him—so he could say he d caught ’em. Oh, Sam! ... PENNEY COMPLETES STORE ADDITIONS The J. C. Penney Co. has just completed the second enlargement of their store at 243 North Front street, it. was announced today.
