Old Feud Goes On;
Cause Forgotten
1t All Concerns Great and
Little Snoring.

NORFOLK, ENGLAND.-Between
two apparently peaceful villages
Great Snoring and Little Snoring
there exists a deep and bitter feud.
Set in the heart of the green fields
of Norfolk, these villages, only a
mile apart, each has its own Saxon
church, a huddle of ancient cot
tages, and the population of each for
the most part, comprised of farmers
and farm laborers.
The population of Great Snoring
numbers approximately $40, while
that of Little Snoring is about $50
less.
The only link between the two vii
lagos is the parson that they share
the Rev. L. A. Williams who is the
rector of both parishes. He lives in
the larger village and cycles to and
fro between them.
Even the older members Of the
villages Qknown for the longevity Of
its men and women) are at loss
as to what the feud is really about
or when it started, but despite this
there is no inhabitant of either viii
lage who will speak readily to the
other.
''It is feud such as one imagines
existed between the Montagues and
Capulets," the rector said. 'It
makes things very difficult for me.
Not only do the older members Of
the villages refuse to cooperate
over church and parish affairs. but
the younger ones refuse to CO.
operate in games and sport.
3 81 have never known case Of a
Great Snoring boy falling in love
with a Little Snoring girl or vice
versa-they seem to be too feud-
conscious to think Of it."
The rector had hoped that the war
and the start of war organizations
in the two villages would bring the
two communities together. But it
hasn't. Great Snoring has Joined
forces over ARP. work and home
guard duties with the villages in the
north. and Little Snoring with the vii
lagos to the south.
And now, Little Snoring-getting
ahead of its rival-raised sl2, 300
during its war weapons week. and,
in comparison. Great Snoring raised
only 1880. and SO the feud goes on.

the new champion won his crown
with this tale about fishing "in the
old days in the Unadilla":
"One of the natives accidentally
spilled bottle of hair tonic in the
river and all the fish started to grow
long Boards Their boards got so
long that after a while all we had
to do to catch them was to stick up a
red and white barber pole on the
bank, hang out copy of the Police
Gazette and boiler next
Only one prize is awarded annual
ly by the club, out Hulett announced
some honorable mentions.
George E.. Stricken of South Pitts
burg, Tenn, came in for one with a
yarn about the behavior of a flock
of crows during severe cold snap
last winter. He said he noticed the
birds standing motionless in q field
and became curious when they
failed to fly away when he came
near.
''As I approached, the birds let
out a discordant chorus of caws yet
remained rooted to the ground"
Stricken acclaimed. AFTER a bit the
cause OF their predicament dawned
upon me. It was so cold their shad-
ows had frozen to the ground."%
Hulett said about so per cent OF
the entries had a war angle such
as that of Francis Pesek, East Jor-

Finds Him, Calls Police

NEW YORK.-A middle aged
man stood in front Of a Bronx pool
room. stared intently at youth
who approached, then turned to two
detectives and said quietly: This
is he-my son; a deserter from the
army. Take him away"
Thus ended the search Of Andrew
Link Of Brighton, Mass, a World
war veteran, for his 19-year-old
namesake son, deserter since Sep
tember l from the 26th division at
Camp Edwards, Falmouth, Mass.
The elder Link, who served two
enlistments in the navy, had been
seeking the boy ever since learning
of his desertion. He came to New
York when another Brighton man
told him of seeing the boy here. The
father remained just long enough to
upbraid the boy bitterly, then took
a train for home.
