(By Charlie A. Gerace)

Hello Folks:
 Back once more with news of what's doing among the members.

The rosters for the Juniors are Fritz Hook Elm In" Stolfi, Tommy Truck" Zilaro, Donnie "One Hand Shot" Mancini, Joe "Blondie" Elku- ovich, Joe Silent" De Palma, Cap- tain Al Speed" De Palma, Johnny Fast" Brennan, and yours truly. The Seniors comprise of the follow ing: Joe Landolfi, Cal Stolf, Tony Guerrero, Toots Nardozzi and Paulie Clear.
 Joe Nardozzi coach of the Juniors Is quite satisfied with the showing of the Juniors and will send his team out to open the season on Mo- ivember. 22 against some worthy op- opponent. The Juniors are anxious to meet any of the leading teams in the city or state; they will play their games at the Pearl Street Community House on Tuesday at 8 p. m. If games are wanted please write to Charles Gerace, 42 Summer street.
 The Juniors will spot new outfits this year. These outfits were made possible by the donations of the fol- lowing concerns: Lehigh Fuel Co.,, Dams Tavern, Gerace and Migoldi, painters, Terryville Furniture Co.,, Kelley and Burns Drugs, Sal Petruz- zi's Groceries, Julia's Flower Shop, Lou Tededsco Service Station.
 The boys wish to extend their deepest gratitude to the above men, tioned.
 Joe Landolfi who has come down to his average weight made the boys hustle in their first workout last week.
 Fritz Stolfi of the Juniors has been playing remarkable ball in practice and when Fritz stops his clowning and gets down to serious business he plays everyone of their feet.
 Donnie Mancini rangy forward will be great help to the Juniors this year for Donnie is very good blackboard man something which the team has always lacked.
 Johnny Brennan, robust forward has lost quite a little poundage since he began playing basketball.
 Joey Elukovich is coming along rapidly and if he continues to play the way he has been he will un- doubtedly become nice basketball player.
 Cal Stoli not only is a good bas- ketball player but rumors have 1t that he sure can make that dance GOT burn.
 The club was sorry to hear of Paulie OLear,s dismissal from the Ashley Club but credit must be given to Paul for he was one of the last to be dismissed.

enacted as an emergency" measure,
but now generally regarded as set
tied State policy
He minced no words in speaking OF
practices he charges auditors with
following:
"The general public has slight
knowledge of the deplorable tactics
being used in auditing merchants &C
counts, and the settlement OF levies
for sale taxes simply because so many
merchants are towards when it comes
to fighting for their rights in a man
ner which might get publicity or
create court records" he continued.
But now that we are taking case
to court to test the constitutionality
of the sales tax laws, merchants who
have been victims of the States hold
up game are mastering enough cour-
age to speak out against the outrages
being perpetrated upon Them" he
added.
Interest in the Fair Tax Association
has been greatly increased by its
court action, Leonard said. The or
ganization added more new members
during September than in any month
proof of this assertion.
II am also getting more invitations
to address civic organizations than
ever before" he said, because the
mounting tax load is causing general
concern"
He expressed grave concern for the
future of North Carolina and the ma
ton, declaring his belief that unless
the tax payers band together and put
a check on the tax spenders we may
soon find ourselves victims of form
of slavery to our government"
Retailers of the State, he said
''have already been forced as a spe-
cial class into involuntary servitude
as tax collectors, but due to the re-
bellion of the people against payment
of the sales tax, literally thousands
of rural merchants and those located
along our State borders are having to
pay the sales tax themselves"
Action of the Food Dealers was less
spectacular, but perhaps more effec-
tive. With II of IL directors present,
they agreed to push vigorously their
efforts to exempt from the sales tax
all foods and all fuels used for home
consumption.
Their active drive will be headed
by o. A. Swearingan, of Concord
chairman of the legislative commit

ident of the association, presided at

NelU Bathtub Death Mystery
Is Parallel of LQ111SOn Case

REDLANDS, Cal, Dec. 80 GIN.
SD.-A murder mystery recalling
the famous Lamson murder case
at Palo Alto, Cal, in 1888, was
under investigation here today.
Authorities questioned David
Stuart, admittedly the "other
man" in the life of Mrs. Katherine
Davidson, 80, whose body was
found in the bathtub of her home
last Friday.
Stuart, an auto shop operator,
like the dead woman's husband,
Joseph Davidson, 38, who also was
questioned, could give no further
clues in the strange case.
DEATHS SIMILAR
In many ways, the sheriff's
office pointed out, Mrs. Davidson'S
bathtub death strangely paralleled
that of Mrs. Allene LamSon at the
Stanford University campus in
Palo Alto in 1888, for which David
A. Lamson, then a university press
employe, stood trial four times be-
fore murder charges against him
finally were dismissed.
Mrs. Davidson's head bore a
fracture. So did that of Mrs.
