Cat Bites Man, Then

league used to like cats. That,
however, was before Monday, when
officer league, in line of official
duty, came in contact with a par
ticular feline definitely not of the
parlor tabby type.
J. B. Williams, of 403 IL Dock
street, reported to police that he
had been bitten by a cat while
walking in front of 500 Church
street Monday afternoon. The cat,
Williams told police, leaped upon
him and without cause or provoca-
ton, bit and scratched him in a
most painful manner.
Officer league, cruising the
neighborhood, was ordered to the
scene.
The cat, the officer learned, be-
longed to E. C. Cooper of sos
Church street. While standing on
the Cooper front porch, making
inquiry about the assaulting Tom,
Officer league spotted the cat. A
step or two in the cats direction,
and 10! the animal sprang to the
officers shoulder, and without
warning sunk a fang in the Off
GERS face.
II kicked him off the porch"
Officer leagues report read.
A note at the bottom of the re-
port indicated that the cat got
away to the temporary, at least,
security of a dark cellar.

CLIMB in SCHOOL
ATTENDANCE SEEN
Indicates More Families Nov
ing Here Because of Bust
ness Expansion

A gradual increase in the mum.
Der of students attending New
Hanover county schools indicates
more families are moving into the
Wilmington section now because
of a definite expansion of business
enterprises, H. M. Roland, super.
intendent, said yesterday.
Roland said there had been a
net increase of approximately zoo
pupils attending the various
schools in the city and county since
the close of the Christmas holi-
days.
A few families have been NOV
ing into the comm unity recently
and this influx may be attributed
partly to the opening of national
defense projects, Roland said.
Roland predicted a greater in.
crease in the number of new pupils
attending schools here in the neal
future when additional families
begin to move in for the actual
construction projects of the ma
tional defense program.
The New Hanover county boaro
of education, he said, is in a pc.
sition to house the first 1900 add.
tional pupils fairly comfortably.
The problem is to secure teach.
ers during the regular school year
for these new pupils, as the school
budget is made up during the
summer" Roland said.
Attendance in the county school
system is about back to normal,
said Roland, who reported there
was still a few cases of heavy
colds among students and teach
ers, and an occasional case of in
fluenza.
