Neils, K. A. Klehm and James
Blackford. Jr.
Mr.. Blackford read the resolution
having to do with the study of suit
able trees and shrubs and made sew
erai remarks among which was his
mention Of the fact that the J. Neils
Lumber company has offered their
services up to the point of donat-
ing any land they have that would
be suitable for roadside plots. With
this company taking the lead on the
matter. the other companies should
see the value of such move more
readily.
Many Minor Products
c. K. Spaulding was the next
speaker and gave some very inter-
esting figures about the value of
minor forest products in this To-
callty. He enumerated the number
OF man-hours of time consumed in
preparing the various by-products
for market and showed where thew
constituted a very valuable part Of
the economic set-up of Lincoln
county.
Charlie Powell told the audience
of the value of the Christmas tree
industry to Lincoln county and ex-
planned how the business was an as
set to the community and forests
rather than liability. The rea-
sons, Mr.. Powell pointed out are
that the tree suitable for Christmas
sale will never make a good saw
log. By removing such trees the
young pines are liberated and can
make faster growth so more saw
logs and Christmas trees may be
produced. In the third place. by
thinning out the timber, lodging is
prevented and the fire hazard
lessened
At this point of the program Mr..
Neils turned the meeting over to
A. w. Greeley who spoke briefly
about the picture, Trees and Men,
which was shown. The picture was
takenk by the Weyerhauser people
in and near Longview, Wash, and
depicted the manner in which log
ging is done and the manufacturing
process Of the various products
takes place. The film was in sound
and technicolor and was really very
excellent.

Lady Luck Smiles
At Old Eight Ball;
Prisoner Is Dazed
Dogged by Hard Luck for ID
Years, Georgia Court
Frees Robinson.

ATLANTA. - Walter Robinson,
whose footsteps were logged by
hard luck for IA years, while he
trudged weary trail over the Unit
ed States as fugitive from Geor-
gia justice. has come out from
behind the biggest eight-ball in his
harassed career.
The climax to one of the strangest
stories OF all time took place in the
Fulton county superior courtroom
here when Robinson was scheduled
to stand trial before Judge John D.
HUMPHREYS on a charge of assault
with intent to murder and another
charge of burglary.
In 1925 Robinson was indicted on
charge of attempting to murder
H. w. Parker with knife, on jan
uary Is of that year. Also, he was
accused by the grand jury of bur-
glarizing the North boulevard resi-
dence of Tom Nance, on January q,
1926.
He Went Away.
This trouble sent Robinson out on
the roads over the United States on
dodge and year after year rolled
by with tough breaks marking every
road he took. II seemed that MOTH
ing good ever happened to him and
Lady Luck was a wench whose
froWning face met him at every
turn.
Early this fall, the peak OF his
tough breaks cracked down on Rob-
inson here in Atlanta. After IA
years OF unremitting travelling, Rob-
inson decided to come back home
and, with his little bundle OF clothes
tightly tied up with a string, he con-
fidently walked into Decatur street
rooming house. where he expected
to find an old friend.
Without looking at the room door,
Robinson walked inland came face
to face with the man he was charged
with nearly slicing to pieces with the
knife IA years ago. Five minutes
later, Robinson was in the jail he
had been lodging those IA years.
Had Robinson looked at the door
he entered in the rooming house, he
would have seen in large chalked
letters the name OF n. w. Parker,
the cause of all his trouble.
In jail, Robinson shrugged his
shoulders and moaned.
Just call me "Eight-Ball.
Parker, remembering a promise
he had made years ago to his moth
er to see that Robinson was prose-
cuted. boosted then that he Wot11d
see that Robinson got q nice long
stretch.
Refuses to Prosecute.
After waiting all these years for
the revenge he had promised his
mother on her deathbed, Parker de-
cided he could not 60 through with
it. He showed up the morning Of the
trial and told the solicitor general
he would not prosecute and that, so
far as he was concerned, the Incl
dent was closed.
And the state was unable to locate
Tom Nance, the man whose home
Robinson was charged with having
robbed.
At last, the frown of Lady Luck
switched to beaming smile for old
Eight Ball" =
Judge HUMPHREYS, at the request
of the solicitor general and Parker,
wrote "nolle-prossed" across the
face of the two 1926 indictments
against Walter t'Eight-Ball'') Rob-
inson.
Old "Eight-Balp' walked out of
court free man, shaking his head
in beWilderment. He has settled
down in Atlanta and is looking for
job.

Storm Clouds
 Over the Pacific

Most ominous of the critical in. ternational developments outside of the scenes of actual conf1ic is seen in the storm clouds gath ering over Asiatic coastal water; of the Pacific.
 Political weather observers tak ing note of extreme pressure cor ditions discern particular danger in the Japanese dominated area: and the entire stretch from Singe pore 10 Vladivostok and Siberia It is possible for lightning tc strike any minute.
 Echoes of the great struggle along the Stalin line-some l,20C miles in length, and almost equal to the distance from Fairbanks to Seattle increase the appre- hension and intensity the sltua- tion in the Orient.
 Developments in the Aslatic Pacific at tks critical stage de pend if not entirely on the decis ion of Japan. If she remains in her present position it may no. be so serious but if she decides to go to the aid of the European Axis, violating her non-aggres sion pact with Russia, look out.
 If Japan proceeds against Vlad ivostok, the British fleet at Singa pore Or in nearby waters may assert itself. German, Russian and other naval craft said to be in Asiatic waters may begin in tensive action.
 And if American rights shoulc be violated, Uncle Sam may be. come involved.
 The picture of what might har pen-all the way from the South Pacific to the Arctic-from Aus tralia, New Zealand the Neither land Indies and the Philippines to the Far North - is clouded with doubt with the outcome hinging first on diplomatic nov es on the international chess board. Obviously it behooves those who wish to survive the storm and avert possible disaster to be mighty careful of entangl- ing alliances.

Infantry Host When Bomber Calls For Pigs
By NED FREE A.S.R. Rowing Reporter

Members of the Infantry play ed host to a sky visitor from Fairbanks recently when Corp. James A. Radford made a trip in an Air Corps bomber.
 Your reporter happened into the Day Room as Corp. Radford (Jim, to his friends) uncorked yarns and stories with unceasing energy to his attentive listeners, Sprawled in chair with his lanky frame twisted in such manner that he could turn to all his friends, Jim revealed why he was at Fort Richardson.
 I shall quote Jim as to the veracity of his conversation, for he loves to string one along and some of these remarks come pret ty close to being "tall tales" so take the following with the pro- verbal grain of salt"
 Jim relates. Il was sitting in the Day Room at Fairbanks about noon when the major told me to rustic up 12 gunny sacks and hurry out to the airport with him, immediately if not sooner. Upon arriving, l was hustled into a hOrnher headed for Fort Rich ardson to receive a cargo - of pigs" The weather was swell and our trip covered in record time. Upon landing at our destination I came over to my old company to visit my friends"

ed every question in the book concerning the fellows at Fair banks. When grub was mention ed, Jim told the group of listen CTS. If you can eat our chow, you can eat any chow. We sent in an order for 500 pounds of spare ribs, and somebody added a couple of zeros on the end so we received three freight cars loaded with them. We ate them all.
 "We are just one big happy family living in the same bar racks. Air Corps men, medics, line soldiers. but we have the best outfit in the Army. You would think we were guinea pigs the way new ideas of living are experimented on us, clothing and new types of weapons. Even doughboys are taken up 5000 feet in planes to try out new types of underwear. The civil ians are swell to us, too.
 There has been some talk of our being transferred to Fort Richardson and another company coming to take our place. We like # there and would prefer to stay. The weather gets plenty cold. Sometimes t is 40 degrees below zero. We use carload of coal every thirty minutes in winter. It's either shovel or freeze. We are used in experments and do guard duty.
 The new Garand rife has been put through series of tests and not one proved inadequate. Military police duty is easy New barracks have been in the con- strucion stage for some time; boy but they are nice.o

Had Open House

That's the way Jim's conver- sat.on went, stopping now and then to roll a smoke or to greet an old pal.
 With Jim on his flight were Corporal West and Pvt. Grzebien ik also of the Infantry. The two had been acting in an experi- mental capacity. The boys had journeyed by foot to Perry, 1855 miles, where practically an open house was offered to them by the civilian population. From there they went on to Fairbanks.
 When the chow bell sounded, Jim was one of the first to sit down and eat. During the meal he was suddenly called back to the plane and only had time to say few hurried good-byes. We enjoyed our visit immensely Jim good luck.

 The medal. given or a-@e-s Of Secretary of War Henry L. Stinson. was in recognition of distinguished bravery when he braved the flames and heat of burning bomber to rescue five men from the crashed ship. The rescue was carried out at Murdoc Bombing Field, Calf. May 27, l940.

 Relates Incident
 Sgt. Clapsaddle then stood with his commanding officer as the Air Corps group, led by the Infantry Band, marched in re- view before him. This was the first review the Air Corps has participated in at Elmendorf Field.
 The following is Sgt. Clapsad- dle's own account of the acci- dent:
 On the night of May 27 l940, between II and 12 o'clock 1 was lying in bed about half asleep when I heard plane flying over my tent. A few seconds after that l heard a terrific crash. Figuring that the plane had crashed, I jumped out of bed and could see the ship burning about 500 yards away.
 Gas EXplodes
 Evidently a gas tank had eX- ploded when the ship struck. I ran to the Wrackage and found that my lieutenant had already arrived in his car. l ran to the plane and coulI see the men on the inside, the gas had spread all over the plane and was burn ing fierccly. One of the men had been thrown clear of the plane and l dragged him away from the fire.
 Uses Coat AS Shield
 The plane had broken in two when it crashed, leaving a big hole though which 1 could reach the men inside. 1 walked into the ship, using an Army over coat as shield and dragged the first man that I could reach. l made four trips into the plane, bringing a man out each trip. After the fourth trip another gas tank exploded and l was unable to re-enter the ship on account of the intense heat. After we had done all that was possible for the men, 1 remained With the plane until we could remove the remaining two members of the
