teacher turns defense worker From Baby Clinic To Filter Renter Just An Incident In Miss Wood’s Life Here's someone who works as bard at soldiering, in her sphere, aS a major general. ‘ Sbe is Eleanor V. Wood, and che taught school at Wrightsville Beach until she went all out for defense. JIi3S Wood works every Wed nesday morning at the Sorosis gaby clinic, Third street, from o to 12 o'clock, and without halt jn„ for lunch dashes to the Wil mington Information and Filter Center to do her daily afternoon =hift from 12 to 3 o’clock. She is at the filter six afternoons a week and often on Sunday or when the i0b is shorthanded. She is only one of more than 300 women who each week de vote several hours to the plotting a3d supervisory jobs at the cen ter. Neither she nor the other women feel they are making a tremendous sacrifice for as Miss Miss Wood began working at the center when it was set up during maneuvers last October, beginning as a plotter on the filter board. She worked up to a telling position on the platform, then as plotter in the operations room, and as raid clerk. She is now operat :ons room supervisor. Besides her work at the filter center and babies clinic. Miss Wood and her mother, Mrs. J. Russell Wood, man the observa tion post at Wrightsville Beach. Their schedule at the filter center is so arranged that one or the other is at the beach at all times. The women also operate a tourist home, and since they have no servant, are compelled to do their own housework. Does this work a hardship on the Woods women? The younger woman said, "We lived on the beach during the last war and sa " the boats sunk just before our eyes. We've seen them sunk again this war. We’re jus- mak ing every effort to protect our home and those of our neighbors. At the observation post we can do nothing, just hope we can see the boat, call the center and get the coast guard to do something.” The young graduate of Guilford college, who also holds an M.A. degree in library science from George Washington University, likes her jobs. She’ll laugh it off with, "just doing a small share of the big job.” CARSTAIRS White Seal A SUPERB BLENDED WHISKEY fORTHE MAN WHO CARES 72% grain neutral spirits. Carstairs Bros. Distilling Co., Inc.

Evidence was being taken in the case of Christopher Gause, who is on trial on a charge of man slaughter, when court recessed Tuesday afternoon. Gause is charged with being the driver of the automobile that col lided with a bicycle on the Caro lina Beach road in April result ing in the instant death of two small Wilmington children. Solicitor David Sinclair said he expected to begin the trial today of Walter B. Morgan for man slaughter. Morgan is charged with crashing an Army truck into the side of a passenger- car on the Castle Hayne road in May, which resulted in the death of a young Greensboro boy. Judgment has not been passed in the case of Reese Arnold Smith, a minor, whose plea of guilty to an attempt to commit a crime against nature was accepted by the solicitor for the state. A plea ol guilty ol assault on a white woman with intent to commit rape was submitted by Sammie Allen, 23-year-old Wil mington negro shoe repairman, who was indicted this week by the grand jury for rape. After hearing testimony for the greater part of the morning, Judge C. Everett Thompson announced that he would defer passing sen tence on the negro until today. Assault with intent to rape carries a one to 15 year prison sentence whereas conviction of rape is punishable by death in this state. Allen, who was represented by W. L. Farmer, is alleged to have attacked the woman in a vacant lot in the negro district in the southern section of the city dur ing the early hours of Sunday, May 24. The prosecuting witness, a na tive of South Carolina, told the court that she was waiting for a bus to take her to Clio, S. C., and met a soldier in the Olympia cafe. She and the soldier walked to Ninth and Queen streets where they were accosted by a negrc who, after driving her companion off, took her to a vacant lot ar.d assaulted her. Both the woman and the sol dier identified Allen in the court room as the negro. Taking the stand in his own behalf, Allen denied ever seeing the woman until he was confront ed by her after her arrest, denied being at the site of the crime on the night in question, and denied assaulting her. Three teen-age negro youths drew sentences of from one to two years on the roads when a jury found them guilty of re ceiving stolen goods in connection with a series of store robberies here last month. James Brown was found guilty of receiving on two counts and was sentenced to 12 months on the roads in each. Johnnie MacMillan was convicted on two counts of receiving and was sentenced to 12 months on the roads on each with the sentences to run concurrently. Alfred Evans was found guilty of receiving on three counts and was sentenced to 12 months on the roads on each. The last term is to run concurrently with the sec ond. Johnnie McKoy, proprietor of the Blue Moon cafe and alleged slayer of Eliza Corbett, young Wilmington negress, was formally arraigned by Solicitor Sinclair yesterday afternoon and the so licitor announced that he intended to try him for his life. McKoy plead not guilty to the charge and his attorney, Edgar L. Yow, requested a continuance until the July term of court which the judge granted. t r Marine Insurance Loss $46,486,068 In 6 Months NEW YORK, June 9—ffl— The American Institute of Marine Underwriters announced today that insurance companies had lost $46,. 486,068 on Marine insurance poli cies in the first six months of this year but that the net debit bal ance for a three-year period end ing this month was only $1,453,690. Henry H. Reed, chairman of the Institute’s information committee, said “there is no need to have the slightest concern about insur ance companies. These losses will not affect the standing of _ t h e companies because Marine insur ance represents only 14 per cent of their total business.” Reed said that previous state ments regarding Marine insurance losses erroneously had led to the question of the stability of the in surance structure in general. HEYDRICH CALLED MARTYR BY HITLER Himmler Vows It Duty To Avenge Assassi nation At Prague BERLIN, (From German Broad casts), June 9—(A’>—Reinhard Hey drich, the slain Gestapo “protec tor” of Bohemia and Moravia in old Czechoslovakia, was buried to day with full military ceremony after a funeral at which his chief, Heinrich Himmler, vowed a “holy duty to avenge” the assassination. Adolf Hitler, who left his head quarters on the Eastern front to attend the funeral, declared Hey drich “one of our martyrs” and conferred on h im posthumously “the highest award of the German order.” Hitler put a wreath on the cof fin and embraced the two sons of the slain “protector.” (Heydrich died last week of wounds suffered at the hands of Czech assailants who bombed his automobile and machine- gunned him. He was known as “Der Hen ker”—the hangman—and as one of the bloodiest of all Himmler’s terrorists. For his death, 234 Czechs already are reported to have been executed.) Himmler took the occasion of the funeral to proclaim Heydrich “a blood witness that Bohemia and Moravia are and always will be territories of the Reich.” For The New Houston Km the^VY -9 ■ ■ ■!> ••.•.v»»' •:-»«^ j*a >Ffc*$8&?K& ._ A couple of Navy men shake hands because 1,000 Texans decided to man the new cruiser, soon to be com missioned, to replace the gallant Houston, sunk in action recently by the Japs.

"citrus peelings HAVE NEW VALUE Literally Full Of Alcohol Which Can Be Extracted More Economically WINTER PARK, Fla., June 9 — (Wide World)—All unknown to the cocktail drinkers, the citrus peels that ornament drinks like the old fashioned are themselves a good source of alcohol. The U. S. citrus products station here has just discovered a com mercially valuable process for ex tracting this alcohol from the rinds of lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit. There is enough more over to be useful for either war or synthetic rubber. By this process about 3,000,000 gallons of alcohol can be made an nually from the nation’s citrus peels—and never touch any of the oranges, lemons, limes or grape fruits the public already is using. The orange alcohol comes as an additional by-product of an already going citrus industry—the making of cattle feed from rinds and nulp. In that process the watery juice is squeezed out. This juice has been a waste by-product; it is the source of the newly found alcohol. The process is so economical that the station figures the cost of orange, lime, lemon, grapefruit al cohol at about 11 cents a gallon, compared with about 18 cents for molasses alcohoi. Molasses for years has been one of the cheap est alcohol sources. Citrus fruits also are going to war in other ways. The U. S. De partment of Agriculture has re cently completed a plant at Dune din, Fla., and leased it for manu facture of concentrated citrus juices. These are sent abroad for soldiers, sailors and children. This concentrate, in medicine bottles, is rationed to British children of five or under at the rate of six to eight ounces a week, for vitamin C. 3 -V FALSE ALARM VICTORIA, B r i tish Columbia June 9.— {IP —Planes approaching the northerly Canadian Pacific port of Prince Rupert today caused a sudden “imminent da n g er alarm,” the first in Canada, but it was lifted when the aircraft were identified as friendly. 3 -V The Maria Theresa dollar, v>r thaler, is the principal coin of Ethiopia.
