WE HAVE JUST Rg!" CEIVED A LARGE SHIPMENT OF TOP COATS D’LUGIN’S 10 South Front Street Hot Stove League (Continued from Page Nine) ideal boat jockey weighs in at 130 pounds, has an excellent sense of Liming and coordination and isn’t afraid ta “jam” with other dirvers on turns, one of the most important parts of a race Sport Leaders Outboard racing became popular here under the impetus of the Pick, ards, James S. King and Rod King and Julius Herbst, all of Wilming ton. Herbst built the first step hydro plane for outboard power m the U. S. and from the first, his models were in great demand by enthus iasts and set many records. 01 sound design, the Herbst boats got the outboard motor out of the putt, putt class, not only locally but nationally. % There are many, of course, who deplore this advance, even to the extent of not recognizing it as an advance at all. Certainly the noise that a “hot” motor makes without muffler, is enough to waken the dead . . . but a number of im provements to the motors, which performed trojan work, particu larly for the beaBees, during the war, have come through the tinker ing of some “speed ball’ who spent long hours altering the in nards of his motor. Strangely, though expensive, it isn’t a rich man’s sport, this out board racing. Most of the drivers and owners are men, yes and a scattering of women, who have to make sacrifices to buy parts, who must watch finances carefully to insure the baby and the motor both getting food in the one case j and fuel in the other. Dynax, a DuPont product, is the : most popular racing fuel with the ' nnt.hnarriers. With a castor oil NEW CAR PRICES UP 1.8 PER CENT WASHINGTON, Jan. 16—UH—Re tail prices for new Plymouth, Dodge, De Sota and Chrysler autos will average about 1.8 per cent above prices for 1942 models, plus additions for engineering changes. The OPA announced this today and also fixed retail ceilings for four additional models of Fords, rhese average two per cent higher ;han 1942 prices, plus from $18.10 :o $47.29 for engineering modifica tions. The increase for 1946 Plymouths is “around one per cent,” OPA said, plus $70 to $121 for engineer ing improvements; for Dodge cars the increase is 3.5 per cent, with Erom $59 to $68 for engineering improvements; for De Sota cars the increase is 1.8 per cent, plus $59 to $66, while for Chryslers the price is up “less than one-half of one per cent,” plus $90 to $104. Increases for Ford models priced today are about the same as those announced last November for other Ford models. In line with the pricing policy Eor all new cars, dealers’ discount margins will be trimmed two and ane-half percentage points. This is ;o prevent the full amount of in :reases granted to manufacturers irom being passed on to the public. Here are the new retail ceil ngs—exclusive of federal tax, ;ransportation and preparation and landling charges—as compared with 1942 prices: Plymouth De Luxe—four door ;edan, $999 as compared with WILMINGTON MAN ON BOARD RESCUE SHIP IN ATLANTIC Seaman 1-c Edward S. Lamb, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Lamb oi Winter Park, is a member of the crew on board the U. S. Paiute which went to the aid of the trans port Henry Baldwin, a stricken troopship 300 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland. The Cutter Modoc also answered the distress call to aid the ship. According to Lamb’s father, the Paiute* left Boston December 12, 1945, enroute to Iceland and reach ing there on January 9. It was or the return trip that the Paiute waj diverted to the Baldwin. A graduate of New Hanover high school, Lamb attended State Col lege in 1943-44 and entered the ser vice June 23, 1944.After taking boot training at Camp Peary, Va. Lamb was stationed at Bainbridge PERMITS TOTAL $11,286 HERE Building, repair and installation permits totaling $11,286 were issued by the offices of Gilbert F. Mor ton, city building inspector yes terday. A permit was issued for installa tion of an air conditioning unit in the building at 415 North Fron street which is the home of the Loyal Order of Moose. The project will cost approximately $8,276. The three-story structure houses a billiard parlor on the ground floor, three big rooms on the sec ond floor, which serve as club rooms for the Loyal Order . of Moose and the lodge hall which takes up the entire third floor. George Potter, governor of the lodge said last night the estimated cost of air conditioning does not include facilities for heating the building, or an extra building addi tion which will have to be made to contain the air conditioning unit. Potter said the heating facilities are to be installed soon. He said the lodge plans the installation of tile baths and rest room facilities at the club. He explain*! that an extensive interior redecorating job has been completed. Other permits issued yesterday include alterations, installation of new plumbing fixtures and minor repairs to a building owned by A. W. Zgone at 1804 South Third street, at a cost of $1,500; a chicken house and storage space at 1505 South Fourth street.

Beadeu, buckskinned and be feathered, the highly costumec “Chief Rising Sun” sat in a re served section during the inaugu ration of Gov. William Tuck, Lieu tenant-Governor Preston Collins and Attorney General A. P. Staples. Later he explained he was ir Virginia to become a “hobby-lobby ist”—a crusader for the prevention of juvenile delinquency. The chief, whose legal name is Dr. Alzamon Ira Lucas, said his goal was to get the legislature to pass a bill for the appointment of a commission to study youthful indiscretions in the state and estab lish a “life guidance bureau”. In turn, he said he would offer his services as an advisor. Chief Rising Sun pointed out that \his work, which began some 55 shears ago, mostly has been con fcentrated in the west, but added that he now wanted to do for Vir ginia what Pocahontas has done for John Smith.

The Carolina Outboard Associa tion, the governing body for races 1 in this vicinity, has carried on the sport in the years preceding the war, and races at Wrightsville 1 Beach and in the Cape Fear, have i attracted thousands of spectators. 1 Plans are being laid now for re- ' suming racing activity in this sec- 5 tion. i Just to wind up this recollection, 1 I’d like ttf tell a story on Wilming tonian Julius Herbst, in true ‘‘Hot ' Stove League” style. During the : 1928 regatta, Julius, an experienced and proficient racing driver of na- 1 tional reputation, was leading the ' field in a hydroplane race by a 1 good 100 yrds. With only a couple 1 of blocks to go and figuring he had ‘ the race cinched, he stood up in his fragile and unstable craft, 1 which promptly sheared a pin, ! severing the connection between 1 the power head and the propeller. : While there is no official record • of Herbst’s remarks as he watch- 1 ed contestant after contestant pass him idle in the water, some ob servers to this day claim there was 1 steam rising from the surface of the Cape Fear around the motion- : less racing shell !
