Quick Action Follows Hit- And- Run Case He re Wilmington police, who have been faced with the problem of solving a series of petty thefts taking place throughout the ,city during the past several weeks, now have a new, and in a way, worse plague to contend with.' The latest upcropping of crime centers about hit and run drivers, with at least one participant in the accidents usually fleeing from the scene of the crime without stop ping. The latest hit and run case, how ever, tends to furnish proof that police, together with members of the state highway patrol, are cracking down with a vengeance. For, within less than 17 hours after he had crashed into a car driven by R. S. Matthews, Jr., at 8 o’clock Friday night, Frank Witherspoon, Castle Hayne Negro, FUEL OIL Standard Oil “ESSOHEAT” Oil Burner Service HUGHES BROS. FUEL CO. Dial 7774 had been arrested, tried and sen tenced. This quick action came about in this way: J. W. Stewart of Wilmington, who was driving near the scene of the accident on Princess street, saw the crash and when one car sped off without stopping, he gave chase. He lost the car in traffic but not before he had obtained the license number of the auto. Stewart then informed city police who broadcast a lookout warning and as an added precaution notifi ed the highway patrol. Within an hour after the crash, Patrolman R. C. Duncan had ar rested Witherspoon and lodged him in jail awaiting trial. Came Saturday morning Wither spoon appeared before Judge H. Winfield Smith and was ordered to pay a fine of $50 plus court costs and make complete restitution to Matthews for the damage to his car. If this had not been complied with in ten days, a six-months jail term would begin. In addition, a two-year good-be havior stipulation was included in the sentence.

The Golden Text was from Deu teronomy 6:4. “Hear, 0 Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.” Among the citations comprising the Lesson-Sermon were the follow ing from the Bible: “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else” (Isaiah 45:22). And from “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “In the Saxon and twenty other tongues good is the term for God. God in infinite, the only Life, substance, Spirit, our Soul, the only intelligence of the universe, including man” Pgs 286, 330). — Dealers Just As Anxious For New Goods As Buyers By EARL HOWARD Staff Writer While the average community in the United States is greeting the year 1947 as one of promise, it is highly probable that a great many people in these same communities will pause and hope feverently that the beginning of the new year will bring to an end a 12-month period of promises. But in the first, fresh bloom of optimism, or pessimism, depending upon how many times you have suf fered cruel disappointment, it might be wise to stop and consider the role so patiently and efficiently played by the retail dealer during 1946. His has been a hot spot and a hard lot and to him might well go a sympathetic nod and a “well NOTICE CITY AND COUNTY TAX PAYEES 1946 City and County taxes are past due, will start garnishment of wages for unpaid personal property tax January 15, 1947.

M. Hill, Sec.-Treas. 112 Princess Street Safety of your account insured up to $5,00.00 by an agency of the U. S. Government, done” for an unusually good per formance. Ever since last year about this time, which was just at the be ginning of the real and recogniz able post-war period, residents of> every town and city in the nation have been faithfully and hopefully visiting their automobile, refrigera tor, and electric-stove dealer_ half expecting to receive word that the item of their fondest dreams has finally arrived and can be install ed at their convenience. Usually the tale of woe poured into your doubting ears has been one such as "We are very sorry, but we have been promised, and consequently expect, a shipment by the first of the month.” And the sobering fact is that these same dealers, who apologetically greet you with this excuse, or bet ter reason, are telling you the exact truth to their best knowledge. It is more than probable that a shipment of whatever you wish has been promised. And that shipment is expected to arrive around the first of the month. Within his heart your dealer may know better, but happy in the optimism which characterizes the average Ameri can, he inadvertently pulls the wool over his own eyes and al lows himself to feel confident that all will be well, come that hoped for first of the month. He is no doubt contemplating that joyous moment when, in answer to your thrice-weekly question, he can sav. Yes sir, it has just arrived.” But somehow that first of the month moves slowly by. That same dealer, increasingly vexed at not receiving word of the arrival of your chosen item, no doubt lies awake at night trying to think of a compromising answer suitable to the customer whose name is on the cherished list and who up to the moment has been pacified with promises of early delivery. But this is not the end. The deal er must keep in mind the reputa tion of the maker of his product when dreaming-up this important answer. He must remember that within a couple of years he will have more items on hand than he can rid himself of. He must re member to keep this thought ever before him because he dare not say anything about the manufactur er which might influence the pros pective customer in the wrong way. As if these thoughts were not enough, he must remember to be fair and recognize that the manufacturer has problems of a like nature as concerns material shortages and associated ills. So the dealer of today should not be criticized. He should not be looked upon as a bearer of bad tidings. Rather, he should be looked upon with sympathy liberally sprinkled with envy. It is unlikely that the average customer could do half as well toward pacifying a public literally starved for bright shiny post-war things. The dealer’s is a hard task. I DAFFODIL CROP MOVEMENT STARTS \ir Shipments Expected To Get Underway Next Week The second richest crop in New Hanover county, Castle Hayne daf fodils, has already started to mar set as warm winter weather caus ed the growing season to be ad vanced by at least two weeks, John Muckton, president of the Carolina Flowers, Inc., stated last night. Nuckton said that during the past week Carolina Flowers Inc. dad shipped about 4,000 bunches of daffodils to northern markets by express. The daffodils are second only to lettuce in value in this county. By the middle of January there would be enough plants to permit air shipments, he added. When the flowers reach their peak it is expected the harvest will reach 24,000,000 flowers on the 300 acres throughout the country. NEW YORK SPEAKER CHAPEL HILL, Jan. 5 — UP) — Dr. W. C.
