Although the Council has been meeting since January, first in London and then in New York, it has not yet tackled its basic or ganizational problem—how the big power veto shall operate and how the Russian boycott tactics affect the council. _ ■Randolph Scott—Ellen Drew "CHINA SKY” Ken Curtis-Andy Clyde "Song Of The Prame” Chap. 8 "Valley of Vanishing Men Late 11:48 n.m. Shows Diacontinued! MORF ABOUT ALONG THE CAPE FEAR FROM PAGE ONE who were sassy makes us cringe even now. So, the fact that the kids were not singing the old song, indicat ing that the sassy teacher is a creature of the past, made us feel very good indeed. BANDY AND TRAB BALL— Yes, there’s little doubt about it in our mind that schools and schoolteachers are getting better and better as the years go on. For instance, we have only to look in our copy of James Sprunt’s “Chronicles of the Cape Fear Riv er” to see how really sassy teach ers once were. Back around 1840, Mr. Sprunt tells us, the teachers used to whip their charges. For “gambling and betting at school” you got four lashes. “Playing cards” net ted you 10. “Climbing for every foot over three up a tree” brought you one lash per foot. You also got lashed for “making swings and swinging on them,” “waring long finger nails,” “playing bandy,” and “throwing anything harder than your trab ball.” Although we can't imagine what “bandy” and “trab ball” mean, we know they must have been a lot of fun or the sassy old teacher wouldn’t have prohibited them. MORE ABOUT SELDEN B ROM PAGE ONE volves such risks (he doesn’t use a net) I asked the trapeze artist what his sensations were. Flat answer to a dumb ques tion; he doesn’t have any — “just every day routine.” But when I asked him about an old pal who performed with a big circus and was injured in a fali from a high trapeze, he began talking about some of the per formers who had been less for tunate. Like all showmen, Selden be lieves in his own personal little share of luck and doesn't worry too much about accidents . . . Boy . . . hp may not worry, but every body watching him does. With his height and weight, you would think he was fat. Not so! He's just broad . .. and 1 mean really. Selden is only one feature of the Fraternity sponsored show at Bellamy Park which boasts over 50 attractions. Final show will be tonight. ‘ _ Radio Programs WMFD Wilmington—1400 KC 12M ON TOUR DIAL SATURDAY, JUNK 1 7:00 AM—News With Martin Afronsky. 7:15—“Musical Clock” 8:00—Wake Up and Smile. 0:00—Milt Hersh Trio. 9:15—Jimmy Dorsey and Orchestra. 9:30—Teen Town. 10:00—String Ensemble. 10:15—Bible Messages. 10:30—Johnny Thompson—Song Salesman. 10:45—Notes From a Diary. 11:00—Teen Age Merry Go Round. 11:30—Morning Request Program. 12 :30 PM—Musigal Showcase. 1:00—Chicago Town Reporter. 1:25—Round the Town Reporter. 1:30—Hill Toppers. 1:45—Melodies to Remember. 2 :00—Piano Playhouse. 2:30—Round Up Time. 3 :00—Duke Ellington Orchastra. 3:45—National Convention of the So cialist Party. 4:00—Concert Time 5:00—News Summary 5:05—It Good News 5:15—Evening Request Program 6:00—Church of Jesus Christ 6:15—WMFD Sports Review 6:20—Musical Interlude 6:25—Round the Town Reporter 6:30—Richfield Reporter 6:45—The Barry Wood Show 7:00—Veteran Administration 7:15—David Rose Orchestra 7:30—Famous Jury Trials 8:00—Gangbusters 8:30—Boston Pops 9 ;30—To Be Announced 10 :00—News of Tomorrow 10:15—Gay Claridges Orchestra 10:30—Terrace Room Orchestra — Tommy Tucker WJNC JACKSONVILLE.

Harriss. Clever enough to avoid use of the businessman’s middle initial he removed himself from possible for gery prosecution by signing his checks simply “David Harriss.” Operated In Georgia His most recent scene of opera tions was Savannah, Ga., where he deposited a check for $1,314 drawn on a local bank. Harriss also con ducted check maneuvers i n Charleston and Chattanooga, Tenn., after departing Wilmington. Wells in Knoxville filled in Har riss’s record with the further in formation that the subject was understood to have passed worth less checks in Raleigh, Charlotte and Gastonia. Chief Casteen said Friday night that, because of the complex na ture of the case and because of the claims held against Harriss in other cities, the decision to initiate extradition proceedings would rest with County Solicitor James King. MORF ABOUT CHAIR FROM PAGE ONE who made the most impassion ed plea. “Remember Daniel in the lion’s den,” he begged. Law of The Bible “There is the law of the Bi ble. Isn’t that law good enough for us here?” The story of Willie’s first ex perience in the chair was told in detail. And Capt. Ephie Fos ter, the man who pulled the switch, did some of the best telling. 1 Foster said he pulled that switch twice, trying to send the lethal juice through Willie's body. Both times it failed. The first time the switch was pull ed, Willie didn’t even know it. The second time he was “tick led.” “All It Had” “When I saw something was wrong,” Foster told the board, “I yelled to the electrician at the gen. erator, ‘turn it up to 25,000.’ “And he called back, 'I gave it all it had.’ ’■ Population of Nova Scotia in 1945 was 621,000, an increase of 44,038 over the 1941 figure.
