But that was not the case with the bedraggled hoosier safari of peace officers, farmers and cir cus men who have been trying to return the aniraal to captivity since it broke away from keepers Wednesday night and ruined a scheduled indoor circus in the Wa bash high school. “I can get along without any more elephant hunting,” sighed Sheriff Marvin Idle. “Anybody who wants to hunt an elephant can have it.” Modoc, valued by Terrel Jacobs, its owner, at $6,000, list was sighted taking a brief rest in a barn lot west of here. The hunt ers surrounded the place but too late—Madcap Modoc had struck cut for greener pastures. Its peregrinations have resulted in a wide variety of property dam age and injury to two persons, one of whom was hurt seriously. Kenneth Kindley, Mt. Etna farmer, got in its way yesterday and re ceived a fractured vertebra. The oiner victim— a Wabash woman— was bruised severely when Mo doc lumbered into a drug store. The latest maneuver designed to turn Modoc from the error ot its ways was the use of two de coy elephants, the theory being that Modoc, a female, would for get about the whole business and rejoin her male mates. All they did was trumpet mourn fully up and down the Wabash riv er bottoms while Modoc answered with elephantine sneers from a safe distance. The bedraggled and weary saf ari. which included police, farm ers and circus men. even was joined yesterday by Governor Henry F. Schricker as he was en route to a speaking engagement. The democratic chief executive had no more luck on this elephant hunt than his colleagues did in the Nov. 3 election. _ Allies’ Shipbuilders Maintaining Tonnage NEW YORK, Nov. 14 — W — United nations shipbuilders have “maintained our available tonnage afloat at a figure not too far below that of last January, despite Axis submarine raiders, says Admiral William D. Leahy, President Roosevelt’s personal chief of staff. In a prepared address before the society of naval architects and marine engineers last night, Leahy said: “In spite of disastrous subma rine sinkings, the outstanding per formance of the American Mer chant Marine Builders, added to the contribution from Canada and Great Britain, has maintained our available tonnage afloat at a figure not too far below that of la'st Jan uary. “With sinkings now coming un der better control, the hope is war ranted that 1943 will give us the margin to meet the vast needs of a war fought thousands of miles away. -V The Chinese use kits with whis-1 ties attached to drive off evil spirits. --:-, SCOTTISH RITE MASONIC BODIES WILMINGTON, N.

S. Supply Lines_ Occupation of French North Africa by U. S.-Brit ish forces has chopped thousands of miles off Allied supply routes to tile Mediterranean front. New bases at Casablanca and Algiers are 9000 miles closer to the U. S. production front than the Egyptian battle area, reached via South Africa. If the Axis is driven from Libya, these shorter supply lines may feed seco nd front bases all along the Mediterranean’s south ern shore—potential .jumping off point for an Allied invasion of Nazi-held Europe._ Directory Company Plans To List All Above 18 Years Of Age Here Representatives of the Hill Direc tory company, who are here mak ing preliminary arrangements for Wilmington’s 1943 directory, offer no advance predictions on the city’s population, but advise that they will attempt to list every person above 18 years within the canvass area. However, they admitted that lo cal citizens estimate the figure from 3,000 to 40,000 over the 1942 directory population figure. In 1940. the publishers placed Wilmington on an 18-month sched ule, where previously it had been a bi-annual proposition. Represen tatives stated that few cities show more interesting figures of growth than Wilmington. In 1932. the di rectory listed 18.656 over the 18 age limit. Ten years later, or in the last issue of the directory there appeared 27.837 names which was cause for an estimated popu lation of 50.102. The new figure represented an increase over the previous edition of 25.5 per cent during the 18 month period, or an increase of 16,695 over the U. S. Census figures. Names of women and men in the service will be retained in the book, providing their wives, par ents, or they still maintain a resi dence in the city. Public announce ment will be made prior to the actual enumeration of names. More than 300 libraries of city directories are maintained by the publishers in other cities, usually in or affiliated with the local chamber of commerce, but of na tional interest, and will be noticed in the major cities. While the issuance of directories in war times, and especially in defense areas, may promote the sale of headache powders to direc tory workers, representatives stat ed that names are where you find them and that by exerting extra precaution the finished product measures up to those issued in normal times. CAP PLAYS PART IN SAVING FIVE Planes Sight Raft After Schooner Founders Off North Carolina Coast CHARLOTTEE, Nov. 14.— Ift — How North Carolina fliers of the Civil Air Patrol were instrumental in the rescue of four men and a woman from a raft adrift at sea was described by Major Frank E. Dawson, of Charlotte, commander of the CAP in this state, in an account published here today. Major Dawson said the group, who had taken to the raft from a foundering schooner, was first sighted off the North Carolina coast by a CAP plane occupied by Pilot John Franklin Davis of Greensboro and Observer Francis W. McComb of Charlotte. The time was about 4 p.m., Novem ber 9. Soon another plane carrying pi lot Alfred C. Kendrick of Gastonia and Observer Herbert Oliver Crow ell of Lenoir showed up. These two planes circled around the raft until relieved by planes occupied by Pilots Arthur Rose of High Point and Lawrence Spencer of Williamston and Observers Dan Ritchie of China Grove and Henry M'. Reid of Winston-Salem. Meantime rescuers had been summoned by radio. Davis and McComb, Major Daw son reported, made a forced land ing on the beach with the aid of automobile headlights when their fuel supply ran out. Those rescued were listed as Capt. C. Sweetman, Jr., of Brigan tine, N. J. Mrs. Sweetman, Fred S. Sweetman. D. T. Willis, and Charles W. Willis. The latter two were residents of Morehead City. MADMOTORIST! Even a parking meter could not have prevented the incident reported to police headquarters yesterday as a result of the week-end parking problem here. Bottled up in the alley back of 401-403 Market street Friday night by an unthinking motor ist who left his car parked squarely across the entrance to the alley, an irate driver smashed two of the windows in the sedan without avail. Police arrived on the sceric and located the missing driver of the sedan. The frustrated motorist, his temper apparent ly soothed by the sound of '-as!’;n~ glass, agreed to pay for all damages. —-V In Thailand, each male mus! serve three years as a priest be fore reaching the age of 23. Franco Plans To Avoid Any Break With U. S. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.— UO — Gen. Francisco Franco, chief of the Spanish state, has informed President Roosevelt of his inten tion of "avoiding anything which might disturb our relations in any of their aspects. Franco also told the President that Spain sincerely desires peace for itself and for all other peoples.
