Jaycees report only fair coop eration in Sunday's scrap onve - 400 or 500 pounds, but they are not down hearted. Reluctant to think that people wilfully failed to cooperate, they have concluded that notice was not given long enough in advance so they ave go ing to try again. Early in January, date to be an nounced, there will be another scrap paper collection. That gives a month in which to save not on ly old newspapers but a month that should be productive of a large pile of wrapping paper and paper boxes.

Without equi vocation, straightforward, and dramatic was her testimony in the case of Eli (Buster) Branch (col ored) tried Tuesday morning for attempting to burn personal prop erty (bed clothes, clothing) and attempting assault on his wife Marie with a piece of green wood. So vivid and picturesque was her testimony as she arose from time to time from the witness chair to show just how a thing happened that the Court had to rap fcr or der, and when Mr. Walter Hill, for the defendant, pressed her on a point by asking a question in different language after the man. ner of lawyers, she would answer patiently as if talking to a child who could not understand, "Hon ey, ha wan't laying on no bed" r " Honev. I tole you I don know." Always seemingly on the verge of shouting from religious exhiliration she punctuated her rpnital with such expressions as, "Bless yo' name Je3usl," "God's on my side!," "Right on Jesus!" Eli acknowledged he had been, drunk but couldn't remember do ing the other things with which he was charged. Probable cause wa3 found, and he was bound over to the March term of Superior Court under a $200 bond.
