ABBEVILLE, LA, Jan. 7-(R
rustlers had the
French-speaking trappers of the
marshland section below here
up in arms today.
"Sacre bleu," they exclaimed.
"A fine theeng, hey! We trap
the rats, then somebody steal the
skins"
Three armed men, apparently
informed that a large delivery Of
muskrat and mink pelts had
been made to state warehouse
at nearby Delcambre, overpow-
cred two guards Monday night
and made off with $4,000 musk
rat and l69 mink pelts valued at
more than $20,0 900, representing
weeks of work for many trap
pers.
Yesterday and today hydro
plane of the Louisiana conserva-
ton department droned over the
marshiands seeking the fur hi
jackers, assisted by State high
way police, Vermilion and Iberia
Parish County, officers and the
trappers themselves.
Deere Prejean, As, and Emile
Broussard, Is, Waterman at the
conservation department ware
house, said they were bound and
tapped by the robbers, who es-
capped with the pelts in a truck
after the furs had been brought
by boat from remote Marsh is
land.
The island, donated to the
state of Louisiana by the Russell
Sage Foundation as q wildlife
refuge, is the home of trappers
and their families during the
trapping season. They receive
approximately IS per cent Of the
proceeds from sale of the pelts
at public auction. The state gives
contracts for trapping.
A conservation department
official shared the trappers' in
dignation at the fur thieves, but
said, "They could hardly get
away with it. 1t would be hard
to sell that much fur without be-
ing found OUT

OPM Rule
Prohibits
Rum Use

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7-(R-
Rum was singled out today as
the first war casualty of the
hard liquor group.
An OPM order prohibited the
use of molasses in making rum
or other spirituous drinks after
January Is. The edict affects
not only the continental United
States but Puerto Rico, the Vir-
gin Islands and other territories
and possessions where the basic
ingredient Of Cuba libres and
zombies is manufactured.
OPM explained the molasses
was needed in the production of
alcohol, an indispensable COM
ponent of many explosives.
Automobile owners took an
other blow on the chin under a
second OPM order which pro-
vided that after Jan. mo per-
son shall use or deliver methyl
alcohol for manufacture into, or
packaging as, an anti--freeze
agent" Methyl alcohol is one
of the most common anti-freeze
agents.
Still another order placed
sharp restrictions on the use of
ethyl alcohol in ShampOOS. toilet
waters, mouth washes, perfumes
and hair tonics. During this
month, consumption of ethyl al
cohol for such purposes was or
dered held to IS per cent of the
amount consumed in January,
l94l. In February and succeed
ing months the consumption
must be held to 70 per cent of
the corresponding months con-
sumption last year.

Now that we are safely into
the New Year we can look
back on the road we have
come-and try not to shudder.
1941 saw "fireside chats" be-
come hotter and Wendell w.
and r. D. r. becoming chum-
mier than Siamese Twins.
Capital and labor were dis
agreeing like lobster and Ice
cream, and Joe DiMaggio
broke more records than a
concrete photograph needle.
The war situation turned
against the chin jutters and
chest thumpers In Africa and
Russia. There were more
taxes. the Bio, taxes. prior
tiles, taxes. Harry Bridges,
blackouts and the japanese
stab. 1871 was q great year
that can be described in one
word-but can't think of 1t.
Due to war shortages, sill
yer Innings for cans may be
used instead Of tin. That's
fine-providing they don't
take the silver out Of the
clouds.
Up to this point-we haven't
noticed any shortage In fine
fabrics for mems suits and
overcoats. But we do think 1t
would be wise to stock up on
suits and topcoats for future
use. You'll appreciate the
superb quality - excellent
tailoring-newest styling of
Nestor J. Teck's custom-tail-
ored suits and overcoats. Lay

tendance.
All of this is good 10 years
ago, understand. One of the men
receiving a medal still heads a
large concern in Mount Glenn
ems and the other two leading
characters, both doctors, still
hang out that single. The
medal, of course, bore the own
er's name.
Shortly after the business
man had received his pin and
returned to his table, doctor
No. l asked II he could US It
"fOr just a moment" He said
he was going to play a joke on
doc No. 2.
Once on his feet, doc No. /.
whose hobby is attending foot
ball games, allowed as follows:
1--WE are going to confer a medal
on DR.. for saving a life.
He was called into the country
to attend a patient. He didn't 60
so the patient lived"
Doc. No. 2 accepted the pin
and later refused to return 1t
to the businessman. The re-
quest was several times re-
peated and each time he got
the same answer until finally
he gave up the ship.
Seven years later, an uphol-
sterer gave the businessman his
medal. At first he refused to
explain how it came into his
possession, but finally admitted
it came into his shop when doc.
No. sent in his davenport for a
touch-up job. 1t was lodged be-
meath one of the cushions, he
said.
The moral? Frankly, we
don't know, unless it's all
things come TO he who waits

Action a Lie

ATLANTA, Jan. 7-(R-For-
mer Governor E. D. Rivers of
Georgia has issued a blanket de-
NAL of charges contained in his
indictment by a Fulton county
(Atlanta) grand jury and
branded the action as a move by
Governor Eugene Talmadge Ito
destroy me politically on the eve
of a new campaign"
He said at his press conference
yesterday he would go from
house to house and take the
stump if necessary to clear my
name of the smear placed upon
it by Gov. Talmadge's crowd Ct
star chamber henchmen."
Rivers, his son, E. D. Rivers,
Jr., and ID others were accused
by the grand jury of conspiring
to defraud the state. The indict-
ments also charged the ex-Gov-
ernor of embezzleing funds al
loted to his control as Georgia's
chief executive.
On recommendation of the re-
firing grand jury. the incoming
Jury voted to continue the in
vestigation of the Rivers four
year administration. Rivers re-
tired as Governor Jan. /, l941.
Rivers declared the investiga-
ton not only was inspired by
Talmadge, but was financed with
state funds and thousands of
dollars" raised from private
sources as a means of "diverting
attention from his own mis-
deeds"
A former Chief Executive
said "Talmadge framed Cooking
and Pittman, but he and his
crowd are not going to frame
me. I'm going to meet them toe
to toe. I'll meet Talmadge on his
own plane of personal vilifica-
ton.
