Wedding Salute

1t has lately become. known that
when Warsaw, Poland, suffered it's
heaviest bombing by German
planes several years ago, more
weddings were performed than
any other day in the city's long

Russ Government Early
Sponsored Rifle Practice

Russia has millions of civilian
sharpshooters today because, in
recent years, she wisely rged and
helped her people to take up rifle
practice, says Golfers. Numerous
ranges were set up and guns sup
piled; and men who did not under
go training we're considered un-
patriotic. In the year 1888 alone,
more than 100000 men, women
and boys won craftsmanship
badges.

ice men who never played before
are taking an interest in the game.
AS many as 200 billiard tables are
found in some of the camps. and
as many as $500 men have witnessed
some of his exhibitions. That this
builds interest in the game is proved
by the following excerpt from one
of the many letters Rudolph's en-
ployers have received from COM
handing officers of army camps
where he has appeared:
". AS you can we'll imagine,
since Mr.. Rudolph's appearance, the
interest in pocket billiards has taken
on new life and we truly are devel-
Oping some great players.
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1943-10-07

latter shots were first used by Ru-
dolph and now are a standard fix
ture in other players routines.
In talking to beginners, Rudolph
emphasizes three fundamentalrules.
The first of these-the forming of
firm bridge" with the left hand
he terms one of the most important
factors in the game. He also eau
tons that the cue must be held very
loosely at the balance, with the
shooting arm relaxed, and finally
that, when stroking the ball, the
head should be kept absolutely still,
as in golf.
In addition, he warns beginners to
refrain from using ''english'' the
controlled spin impaired to the cue
ball when it is stroked. English
will come naturally as you learn the
game" he says. 1T cannot be
taught successfully.
Unlike many of the topnotch bill
lard players, Rudolph has refused
to branch out into balkline or three
cushion billiards. He concentrates
on pocket billiards, and that concen-
tration has brought him a just re-
ward. Always sure of himself-but
far from cocky-he is known as a
fast player. He plays as rapidly in
tournament competition as he does
during exhibitions.
Added to his other qualifications
is modesty. Asked to name his
choice for today's greatest pocket
billiards player, he replied: willie
Mosconi."

Repeat Performances

The letters Rudolph receives speak
volumes. They tell of the tremen-
dous amount of camp interest and
are almost unanimous in requesting
a repeat performance.
The former champion entertains
with exhibitions of both pocket bill
lizards and trick shots. Many of the

War Labor Board Hearing
On Company Los
ing Money

Hearings were resumed here this
morning before a War Labor Board
panel in the dispute between the
Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com
pany and miners asking a pay raise
of 80 cents an hour.
Company officials declared the
men have received a 20 percent
increase since last January, that so
far this year the company has lost
$4,000 in operations, that the mine
is classed as an essential industry
and should be operated, but any
further losses may result in the
mine closing down for the duration
Miners said that the increase in
pay was brought about by working
more hours, commended that the cost
of living, other than rents. has gone
up by 40 to so percent here, and
they figure they are entitled to an
increase.
1t was pointed out that if the
mine is forced to close. it will be
difficult to reopen it after the war,
and that services the mine offers to

fire fighting, electricity, drinking
water. rock for would also be
discontinued.
The hearing continued this after
noon.

WHO SAID
FOURTH TERM?

AP Features
MISSOURI CITY, Mo-, May rs.
Tall, white-hared Charles G..
Shaw figures hes the most elect
ed mayor in the nation.
He's Just been reelected for
his 34th term by this towns 500
inhabitants and now he's talking
about running for 35th.
After that? Well, says Shaw,
maybe that's long enough for any
man to hold office.
Minority Party
Oddly enough Shaw, banker
and coal company executive, IS
lifelong Republican living in a
community where the Democratic
ticket has led six to one in state
and national elections for as long
as any of its residents can recol-
lect.
Grocer Joe Fancher explains it
by saying Missouri City's in the
habit of electing the 67-year-old
Shaw to the $l2-a-year-post.
Four times since he took office
in 1909, Shaw faced opposition.
Long ago lwould-be opponents
ceased TO be interested. Never
theless. Missouri City holds its
election every spring mainly to
determine who is going to be its
councilmen.
Saves Money
For another thing Missouri City
has reason to be satisfied with
Mayor Shaw's 33-year admins
tration. In the last two years its
tax rate has been cut from 70
cents to 40 cents on the 500 val
uation and its municipal debt
paid in full.
It's taxes are used for the up
keep of the streets and for street
lighting furnished by a private
company. And, of course, there's
the mayors salary.
