in May SHOPPING AROUND MOURNING DOVES

the youngsters were fully fea-
thered. thoughtlessly we fright
cned by a careless movement the
parent bird. With a clapping and
whistling of wings il fled the
nest followed less swiftly by
the stout nestlingS.
The dove flew low. as though
suffering injury. We did not
follow the parent with our eyes,
hut traced closely the young.
One flew into a nearby oak, the
other alighted in the grasses.
Carefully we sought on the
ground. We found the bird and
took it up. Admitting It's dark
brown eyes and lovely plumage
we gently returned the bird to
the nest.

Was Real Character

The only difference between Joe
Bedore and Par' Runyan, Joe was
real character, character loved
by thousands, whether they be old
time duck hunters, fishermen or
just those who went TO st. Clair
Flats for a good time.
This little story is not so much
about Joe. Let's leave that for
the good old-timers who knew him
personally.
This story Is about Billy Bedore.
the last of the Bedores.
Billy Bedore is 81 years old. He.
lives in spotlessly white cottage
on the south channel Of the st.
Clair River. Next TO his home Is
the Joe Bedore Hotel, still operat-
ing as years ago, when il was the
country's most famous roadside re-
sort accessible then only by boat.
Last Sunday. i spent a few hours
with Billy. He took me around his
place. Showed me the business
he was in-pile driving.

"Ali my life"
We went out in his front yard
and sat down. on some logs. He
watched steady stream OF lake

Busiest season I've ever seen
on the river" he said.
Then his dimming gray eyes
glanced over at the hotel a few
feet away. On the pier in front
was sign: Joe Bedore Hotel"

THE LAST OF THE BEDORES

Recalls Old DAYS Aloha ST. Clair River
BY DON GILES
Ie last of the Bedores!

If you were to ask any old-time
duck hunter. who Joe Bedore was,
you'd probably get a look Of
amaZement. 1t wouldn't make
much difference either If he lived
in Old Towne, Maine, Paducah,
Kentucky or ST. Clair Flats.
He's grab you by the hand, sit
you down, and hours, yes days
later, you'd have a pretty good
idea who this greatest of the great,
this immortal quaint French-Cana-
dian character of another day,
really was.
In all probabilities your inform
ant would wind up his tanning bee
with a couple dozen Joe Bedore
stories. He'd do that, because no
Joe Bedore story is complete with
out 1t. Before he got through he'd
have you laughing and crying at
the same time. You'd probably
yell, No. no. there never was q
man like that. But there was.

Senate Will Widen
Ship-Arming Bill,
Lee Predicts
OkIohomun Prefers
Broader Measure to
Neutrality Repeal
Earlier Story on Page A-1.l

Senator Lee. Democrat, of Okla
homa, a member of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, predicted
this afternoon the Senate will
broaden the ship arming bill, passed
by the House, to permit United
States ships to go to belligerent
ports. now prohibited by another
action of the Neutrality Act.
Senator Lee admitted the COM
mittee is closely divided on broad
ening the measure, bait thought
there would be a margin of one, and
possibly two, votes for a broader
bill.
He said he preferred broader re-
vision rather than outright repeal,
because there are several desirable
provisions that could be retained.
Senator Van Nuys, Democrat, of
Indiana. a committee member, an
nounced he is opposed to any
change in the Neutrality Act. Asked
about the Lehigh sinking. he said
that IF we keep on sticking our
necks out we are bound to get some
licks," but he was not in favor Of
sending men to war because of one
ship.
Former Senator Reed, Republican,
of Pennsylvania, who appeared this
morning, told the committee he
"sympathizes fully" with Great
Britain and China in this war but
tries to keep sympathy separate
from allegiance.
Il believe we should assert the
doctrine of freedom of the seas"
he said, "but with some Judgment.
For example, I always have the legal
right to walk down Pennsylvania
avenue, but if there is a riot going
on along the avenue, I don't show
good judgment by walking through
it."
Mr.. Reed said he favored the
administrations foreign policy as
he understood it from the Demo-
cratic platform and President
Roosevelt's speeches of last year,
but said he doubted whether he
understood, the policy when he
listened to speeches of some cab
met members. He said he favored
the lease-lend program, though ad-
mitting it is not neutral.

mittee a separate bill passed by the

ing the increase The hearings will

House Votes Road Bill
With S1,O57,O00
Slated for District
Morylond's Quote
Put OF 81, ,683 900;
Sd, ,557 900 to Virginia

The District is. scheduled to re-
ceive s1,057.000 for strategic high
way construction under the defense
highway bill passed by the House
late yesterday in substitution. for a
somewhat similar bill passed by the
Senate on August 15.
There is no definite earmarking Of
funds for the District or any State
in the bill The report on the bill.
however, presented in the House
yesterday by Representative Whit
tington of Mississippi, points out
that the total of Federal road funds
already authorized and unobligated
by the States as of October l is
1855, ,9l9 000 A table included in this
report shows that the amount avail
able for the District for programmed
projects is s1o57 900; for Maryland,
81 ,683 900, and for Virginia, S4,-
$4,000.
The Washington metropolitan de-
fense area is also expected to have
a large share in the Sl50.000 900
which the bill authorizes for con-
struction and improvement of access
roads to military and naval reserva-
tions, defense industries and sources
of raw materials. This would in
clude such projects as approaches
to the new War Department Build
ing in Arlington, Va.
The strategic highways network
consists of approximately $4,000
miles Of principal traffic highway
routes of military impcl tance Sc
lected by the War Department gen.
eral staff. It carries about one
third Of the mileage of the Federal
aid highway system.
The bill approved by the House
today provides that during the
period Of the emergency the Federal
share of the cost of projects on the
strategic network paid from Federal
aid funds shall be increased to IS
per cent, but the bill does not make
any new or special authorizations
for improvements on the strategic
network.
The Federal funds would be avail
able to pay all or any part of the
cost of such access roads. including
the cost of new or additional rights
of way required, to the extent ap-
proved by the Federal Works Ad-
ministrator. There would be no
requirement of apportionment of
access roads funds among the States.
or for matching such furds by the
states. This s15O,OOO,O0 fund would
be under the supervision of the Pub
lie Roads Administration of the
