Round-The-Town Reporter With ben McDonald 1 - ' The Readers Write: Dear Ben: The Wilmington office of the United States Employment service has been benefited from and certainly does appreciate the aims of the Wilmington American Le gion radio broadcasts ... in assisting the local veterans with their problems and consequently helping them to secure employment. Programs of this kind which present the veteran’s problems to the community are needed now more tnan ever . . . auc 10 uic very heavy increase in the number of veterans that are returning and are unable to find work. It certainly is not unusual in our contacts with these veterans to find that the information given them over the Legion programs has helped them and pointed the way to the correct local agency who handles their problem. Trusting that this program will be continued, I am Very truly yours, Harold M. Hinkle Manager United States Employment Service Wilmington, N. C. Yes, Mr. Hinkle the Legion is trying in every way possible to help the veteran and I know that they will appreciate your note of thanks. The official agencies are cooperating in every way possible with the intent of the Legion air ings but in order to really solve the veterans problems it takes the full efforts of everyone—including the veteran. ODDS AND ENDS A Mrs. F. E. Key writes in to inform us that it has been her understanding that the custom of handshaking was commenced in olden times to indicate that neither party had a weapon concealed in the right hand. Any other ideas on the subject? . . . Mr. McGowan, Chestnut street, called to tell us that he has further information on the Old Shell road . . . Hello, from Mrs. Evelyn MacDonald on her way to the Business and Pro fessional Women’s club meeting. Also on the way to the same meet ing are Mrs. Ruth Humphrey, Miss Aiene West, and Miss “Beebie” Britt . . . IT DID HAPPEN Our little story about the fish ing deal told to us by Liston King has brought in several other stor ies worth passing along. One of them comes from Frank Bradley, local au>ciLx^ir*g man. xic u a a just arrived from Florida. As a mat ter of fact he was hardly off the train when he decided he would try his fisherman's luck. Pausing on the bank of the lake with a wooden minnow—he never did ex plain how he so conveniently hap pened to have the minnow—he dropped a make-shift line into the waters of the lake and in less time than it takes to tell the story he had hooked a five-pound bass. And according to his tale he could have caught a basket full in no, time at all if he wanted too. You don’t believe his story? Well just ask him to show you the clipping from a Orlando, Fla., paper. A BIT OF THIS AND Tom Gause is making his pres ence felt in the local radio field via some good, very good pro grams . . . Tomorrow the STAR NEWSREEL comes up with an in terview that will give you a most pleasant surpise. It’s over WMFD at 1:15 p.m. . . . John Tompkins writes in this bit of sage advice: “I never make the mistake of ar guing with people for whose opin ions I have no respect . . . J. G. Holmes is visiting his son Jack for a week. “J. G.” just trained in from Providence, R. I. . . . Don’t miss Jimmy Durante when sings his immortal “Inka Dinka Doo” when he “gets in the act" with Paul Whiteman on the “Radio Hall of Fame program tomorrow over ABC . . , John Smith will take off for Florida next week, j . . . And talking about /the sunny | clime, R. A. Dunlea will not take that southern until next month.

WILMINGTONI ANS FAIL TO OBSERVE “FREE PARK” DAY George Washington wouldn’t tell a lie, if he could help it, and the citizens of Wilming ton wouldn’t break a law, if they could help it. It’s rather nice that Wil mingtonians proved their good intentions on Washington’s birthday. In fact, they overdid it. All day yesterday they depos ited pennies and nickels in the parking meters about town— and they didn’t have to. It was a legal holiday in honor of the “father of our country”. And on legal holidays the parking meters do not have to be fed.

S. Army, and a visit among “home folks,’’ netted a too-trusted trusty of local and state prisons at least eight more months in the state prison at Clinton yesterday. Nathaniel Davis, 25-year-old former Wilmington Negro, was re turned to the Clinton state prison camp last night following his ar rest here on a charge of escaping from that camp in Dec. 1943. Arresting officers W. N. Leach and L. E. Culreth said they found Davis at a beer parlor at the corn er of Love's Alley and Nixon street and that he denied having escaped the prison camp where he had been a trusty for several months. Davis had" served part of a 12 month sentence at the New Han over county jail, having been ar rested and convicted on a charge of assault on a female. While at the jail he had been a trusty and had served as elevator boy, the officers said. After he escaped from his first sentence, he was caught and sent to the prison camp at Clinton where he was made a trusty, but later escaped with another prisoner. He was last seen when detective N. J. Wolfe and N. M. Jeffords chased the two man in a car which had been stolen from a Clinto res. ident. The evar which they were using became bogged and they had to flee on foot, and Davis made a clean get-aw’ay. Leach said last night that Davis had his furlough papers and order showing he had been inducted into the Army, by a New’ York -state board. He had served two years overseas accod tloignrhs ET ET overseas according to his papers. IF FIREMEN GET CALL TO TURN OFF STARS, THEY MIGHT TRY IT The Wilmington fire depart ment had an unusual call last night, not to stop a fire, but to find a valve to a sprinkler sys tem and turn off the water. The call came in a few min utes after eight o’clock, after someone had placed a light bulb too close to one of the sprinkler jets, causing it to start raining water on proper ty men and property at the Carolina theater. A technician was sent and the water was soon under con trol, firemen reported. Other calls answered yester day by the department includ ed one at 7:45 to an alley be tween Dock and Orange streets to extinguish a fire which had its origin from a bucket of tar, being used by repairmen to fix a roof. Slight damage was re ported. No. five company answered a call to 48 Spofford, at 10:10, and found that a shingle fire had caused considerable dam age to the roof of the residence of J. T. Lee. At 4:05 yesterday afternoon No. 6 company extinguished a blaze at No. 14, Court Y, Lake Forest. Slight damage was re ported. A short circuit in the wires of an automobile caused alarm at Front and Dock streets yes terday afternoon. Considerable damage was reported. Shades Of G. Washington Put Curse On Reporter Tramping On His Beat George Washington made things pop during his lifetime. Yesterday, on his birthday, he seemed to have put his mort main on all the news sources locally available to one Morn ing Star reporter. The ghostly first president vetoed all activi ty along this pressman’s beat. When the reporter had finished going the rounds, his budget of news resembled the cross-sec tion from a street cleaner’s year. Floats Loan Beginning at the Second and Orange USO, he there floated the loan of a watch until such time as reconversion makes ( tin alarm clocks available. if At the Wilmington Automo bile club he was given a cookie with icing on top. Working up North Front street he studied the theater fronts and saw wonderful picture re porting of the torpedo boat squadrons, the gum-shoeing of Sherlock Holmes, and Red Ryder’s six-gun jam session. Balloon Ascension In the lobby of the Star-News, he watched a small boy holding a balloon ascension. He set his watch in the editorial room. At Grace and Front streets there was no steam 6hovel to admire. A small herd Mf. wooden horses stood by tlfe curb, grazing unconcernedly among the dire looking anarch ist-bomb road flares. The camera shop displayed 23 monopoly boards—any num ber can play. Back in the Thir ties, this reporter had gone through entire evenings as a shoe or a flatiron, unable to buy the Pennsylvania railroad because of the money he spent getting out of jail. Prospects Windows Prospecting the windows on Front street, between Chestnut street and the railroad station, the reporter exchanged cold stares with 12 blonde manni kins, five red heads, and 10 brunettes. He was unshaken by the exhibition of 28 male torsos and the trunks of 15 women. Fifty-seven heads sat on their necks trying to think of a rhyme for silver. One had blue hair. The reporter would like to have known her when she was altogether. A shoe shop had 28 quief toed pairs of feet breaking-in the merchandise for friends. One solitary hand had an avaricious clutch on a string of pearls. Back in the office, feeling slightly ham-strung, the report er watched the locking of the security vault and wondered if the light went out when the door closed. Kind of rough, General Wash ington.

Three Armed Jews Killed In New Palestine Riots JERUSALEM, Feb. 22—(A3)—The British said Friday that three members of armed Jewish bands were killed during a series of night attacks on Palestine mobile police camps in which dynamite charges damaged several build ings, vehicles and other facilities. The attacks, an official com munique said, were directed at three camps and were carried out at midnight and shortly afterward by bands armed with automatic weapons and explosives.

' • ■ So, You Think You Should Kill A Dog? Well, Here’re The Rules To Follow _ By PHIL WRIGHT So you want to kill a dog? Or have you already tried to kill a dog, and just as you are about to let go with what you thing is that last lethal blow across the nape of his neck, have the big watery eyes stared you straight in the face with that please don't hit-me-with that - and I’ll never-sneak-in your chicken-yard-again look? Then just as you get sneak ingly ashamed of yourself and "doggedly” prod him in the ribs with a get away from here and stay away snarl, have him bare his long, pearl-white teeth at you and utter a half-hearted growl as he attempts to sneak upon you again, only to change his mind and jump through the hole in the fence through which which he had just entered? You cor.’t have a dog? Then you must have killed or started to kill ,or at least have wanted to kill someone else’s dog. And, if you have, go right ahead and let him have it, right between the eyes, good, but hard. If, you have first checked the rules concerning ‘ “killing or otherwise destroying other peo ple’s property-” Authorities will tell you, you should not kill a dog, and other wise hedge around giving you the advice you want, but if ycm keep plugging, they finally break down and tell you “the licensed dog is protected by law, as long as that dog does not molest you.” S eS f. ‘7fih however, you cannot find he owner of the licensed dog and get his approval for aheilf mSt.kming th® canine, -o hOU rnd cortfine the dog.” ° (At this point you get the „o-ahead and kill the do* si*. > phrased fam be better P ased legal circles as the “loop hole” by which you kill the dog and feel safe, if sorry afterwards.) They, the authorities, may say something like this: “Yes, if the dog is on your property, and is bothering your chickens, livestock; or if he is in the habit of biting Junior’s legs or frightening your wife when she starts to market, or habitating your grounds, causing destruc tion, there is nothing left to do but, kill the dog. You have the right to protect your property, you know.” One official in Wilmington explains the problem as rela tive to carrying a deadly wea pon, namely gun, knife or black jack. These weapons may be carried, as long as you are on your own property, or may be kept on your property, with proper permission. So with the dog, of which there are many around Wil mington, causing damage to property, and endangering the lives of citizens, according to complaints received by law en forcement departments, from residents who have been dog bitten recently. During February, at least 10 persons have reported cases of having been bitten by a dog or dogs. Some of the dogs have no known owner. They ramble at length through the city streets, rummage through the most carefully concealed garbage containers, destroy priceless shrubs and endanger the lives and health of the citizens, police report. Dogs of this type are worth less and a menace to the there is nothing to do after population, police say, and confining the dog and being un able to find the owner, but kill the dog or turn him over to authorities for proper disposal. Probably no one wants to kill, a dog. Someone has said ‘‘a man’s best friend, is his dog,” but police say there's an end to amiable relations, even j between dog and man.
