Charles Chaplin says he's going

Now, Frank Lloyd, the busiest

he isn't going to make any more

"Mutiny on the Bounty" Under

and "Wells Fargo" Or, to 60

A total of 76 planes have been re-
ported to the filter stations by the
Selbyville Observation Post located
near Williamsville since the Civilian
Defense experiment got under way
last Thursday, according to J. E. Will
gus, chief of the post. The post is
manned entirely by volunteers.
The greatest number of planes re-
ported Invading" this area from the
aircraft carrier anchored off the
coast, on any one day was reported
by J. E. Wilgus on Tuesday morning
between six and eight a. m. He re-
portde six at that time. Samuel Bun

nesday of this week between 10 and

FOUR-FOOT ALLIGATOR
CAUGHT IN CECIL COUNTY

During the past few weeks a num-
Der of persons at different times, re-
ported that they had seen a fair
sized alligator in or along Little Elk
creek, just on the outskirts of Elkton.
Most persons who had heard the
stories paid little attention to them,
most Of them supposing they were
just fairy tales.
The reports were substantiated this
week, when Clifford Durham and Geo.
HEATH, of this town, ran almost upon
the reptile while walking across
Kinks meadow, adjoining the Jones
farm. They undertook to capture the
alligator, but he put up a stiff fight.
Finally, one of the men went to the
Jones farm, a short distance away,
where he procured a pitchfork,
and with it finally captured the rep
tile alive.
1t is now in possession of Olof
Swanson, Of West Main street.
%EEe reptile measures nearly -four
feet in length.
The supposition is, that the reptile
had been brought from Florida, ain

CHURCH NEEDS
TO RESTATE THE
NEEDS OF MEEN

"The church needs to rethink and
restate the needs of men," believes
DR.. Edgar M. Wahlberg, pastor for
more than eleven years of Grace
Methodist Church, Denver, Colo. Gun
til it has done this, it will be jostled
out of the way in these areas by the
onrush of movements that crystalline
those needs, give vitality to Commu-
nism and Facism in Europe, and
threaten similar phenomena in Amer
lea. If democracy is saved in Ameri-
ca, the church must take a hand. If
it does, it will have to know, perhaps
not less about God, but certainly more
about men," DR.. Wahlberg's minis
try is in Denver's most congested and
poverty-stricken district where 10000
persons live within few blocks.

Of the most widely used native Ian
guages of the Netherlands Indies
has been shipped to the Far East by
the American Bible Society. This is
an American gift to the Netherlands
Bible Society which has been unable
otherwise to secure paper for this
purpose. The American body will also
care for the printing of the Bibles, a
service fromerly carried on by similar
societies in Holland and Great Brit
ain. Practically every Christian de-
nomination in the United States has
contributed to the emergency fund
from which the Society provides this
new field of service.
The Thailand (Siam) Mission Of the
Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A.
has carried on more normally than
other missions of the denomination in
the Far East, despite the war ten
sions there, reports the Board of For

Board has given the missionaries per-

mothers but to date the workers have

not felt it necessary to leave. There
are fifty missionaries and thirteen
children of the Presbyterian Church
now in Thailand.
DIR. w. Wilson Cash, general secre-
tary of the Church Missionary So
ciety, London, England, believes that
the present war period is the fore
runner of a new era in the develop
ment of the Christian church through
out the world. He points out that the
Napoleonic wars were followed by a
period of missionary expansion; that
after the Crimean War there was a
great expansion in Christian work a.
mong the Moslems of the Near East;
that in 1900, while tn Boer War was
on, his own Society sent out 100 new
missionaries and other agencies had
many missionary recruits; and that
the period of 1918 to 1941 was mark
by financial stringency on one
hand and the growth of the Christian
community throughout the world on
the other hand. millions more are
working in the Christian cause today
than even a century ago." he says.
Failure to live the religion we pro-
fess is the cause of the incredible sit
uation of the world today-the cause
that has sent the whole world "into
tailspin," according to Archbishop
Francis J. Spellman, of the Roman
Catholic archdiocese, New York City
In a recent address he said: eve have
illusions to religion in the Declara-
tion of independence and in the Con-
stitution. 1t is not enough to have
written and spoken words about relig-
ion. Religion must be lived. BY our
example, by our works, we must re-
kindle righteousness, so that God will
bring mankind out of the tailspin.' y

WOMAN MISTAKES OFFICE
OF JUDGE FOR HEAVEN

Magistrate George A. Pedrick, of
New Castle, Delaware has had wide
assortment of interesting cases in his
court since taking office last Febru-
ary, but recently while shaving he
was surprised by woman who top
ped them all. "Where's my husband"
demanded the woman of the Squire,
after wandering into his home unan-
nounced.
Mrs. Pedrick, who had been in an
other part of the house then talked
to the woman who said that she had
cleft her husband in Heaven"
Squire Pedrick Immediately became
suspicious and invited the "guest" tc
sit down while he sent for the city
police. He learned from her driver:
license that she was Mrs. Esther
Greedy, 3S, of Tuckahoe Road, Peters
burg, N. j.
She was examined by DR.. Levi
Booker and taken to the State Hospi
tai by Officer King J. McNally, wher
she is being held under observatio
by DR.. M. A. Tarumianz until the al

WICOMICO co. TREASURER
GUILTY OF MISFEASANCE

"A Wlcom1co CouCy jury, a1Cer de-
batting the question, for two hours and
forty-two minutes, returned verdict
of "guilty" on three counts and Gin
nocent" on four others-all that re-
manned Of thirty count indictment
charging County Treasurer Charles
w. Bennett with misfeasance in Of
flee. Of the thirty counts, the Court
threw out fourteen on demurrers by
the defense counsel; the state, for
lack of sufficient evidence to substan-
tiate them under the law, abandoned
nine of the counts. The jury went to
their rooms with seven of the counts
to pass on.
The court postponed or deferred the
passing of sentence until October
25th, so that full time could be given
to the case.
The three counts upon which Mr..
Charles w. Bennett, County Treasu-
rer, was found guilty of misfeasance,
charged that he, unlawfully and neg
ligently countersigned checks with
out the Wicomico County Commits
sioners having previously or "then
and there" passed vouchers for the
checks. The three counts upon which
he was found guilty were similarly
phrased and represented separate
transactions.
Tho four accol1ntc 11n0n which hn
was found innocent" were based up
on the charge Of permitting and al
lowing Mrs. Day to have access to the
cancelled checks, etc., in his office.
Mr.. George E. Wright, president of
the Board, and Mr.. Ernest M. Lar
more, former president testified that
checks presented to them on dates
other than the regular meeting dates.
The checks thus presented for their
signature bore the signature of the
County Treasurer, and were accom-
panied by vouchers, which bore, the
word approved" also signed by the
treasurer. Mrs. Day carried these
checks and always stated that they
were bills the treasurer wanted paid,
or gave some other good reason for
not waiting for the regular meeting
day.
Mr.. Bennett taking the stand in his
own defense testified that the County
Commissioners met only once in two
weeks. Between meetings, he said,
vouchers would be issued and checks
written by him to pay pressing bills,
such as interest on notes and salar-
les. This was done, he said, upon the
advice of Mrs. Day; he said he in
spected each voucher presented to him
in such cases and that the vouchers
appeared to be good"
1t was testified that this practice
of issuing checks on other days than
regular meeting days had been the
custom for years, resorted to when
ever a pressing demand arose which
demanded attention. Mr.. Bennett went
into the details of his office, showing
how cancelled checks were kept in the
vault with other papers. The vault
was the one used by former Registers
of viii, and never had lock on it. He
told how he had become suspicious of
Mrs. Day at the first of the year, his
attempt to check up, and the changes
he instituted in March in handling
checks after the vouchers and checks
were signed.
