Hitherto Disdained Fish
To Be Sold as War Food

BOSTON.-The lowly ocean pout,
rajah fish, alewives and some little
known species-once thrown back
into the ocean or used as fertilizer
are going to be channeled into the
food market this year to help the
war program.
The Massachusetts, Fisheries As
ISOLATION, Inc, said that the public
will discover these species are not
only good eating but delicacy.
Ralph Osborn of the Massachu-
sets department of marine fisheries
and a member Of the association
committee on the increased use of
sea food. said that more than $50, 900
pounds Of pout already had been
marketed and that it should rise to
100000 pounds as soon as the pub
lie learns of its delicacy.
The potentialities Of rajah fish are
even greater, Mr.. Osborn said, add
ing that its total volume could equal
$4,000, 900 pounds annually. In addi-
ton, the committee expressed the
belief that more than 1000, 900
pounds Of alewives now going into
fertilizer each year should be placed
on the food market.

German Fighter-Bomber
Carries Unusual Load

LONDON.-Some details Of the
new German fghter-bomber, the
Messerschmitt 210-A1, announced by
the air ministry, show that 1t has
an extremely heavy bomb load for
a plane Of its type, being capable
Of carrying 1900 pounds.
The plane, which is a modification
Of the old Messerschmitt 210, has
been operating over Britain for some
time and several appear to have
been shot down. It has two in the
crew, carries two machine guns,
four cannon and 900 pounds Of
armor.
It is low-wing monoplane with
twin engines and can be used as a
long-range fighter and dive-bomber
or for ground strafng. Two Of its
cannon, mounted in barbettes, are
fred by the rear gunner by remote
control
Six self-sealing tanks in the wings
carry $50 gallons Of gasoline.
Brakes for dive-bombing are car
ried on the top and bottom surfaces
Of the wings and fold flush for nor
NAL flight.

Forged u. S. Check Peril
Told by Secret Service

WASHINGTON.-The secret serv-
ice is urging the public to be on
guard against the theft and forgery
Of government checks, warning that
the issuance Of thousands Of checks
to servicemen's dependents might
bring a revival Of rackets that
fourished in WPA days.
As a part Of a nationwide know.
-indorser" campaign, mer'
chants, bankers and others were
asked to be certain Of the identity
Of persons cashing government
checks. Those entitled to the checks
were advised to take precautions
against the pilfering Of their mail
The rackets reached a peak when
the government was distributing
millions Of checks for relief and
farmers benefits. In 1910, the serv'
ice investigated $1,000 forgeries Of
government checks but the number
dropped last year to $4,000.

Some Firsts

US on the trail of an elusive adver-
tiser.
The first sports story in the
paper told of a tennis tournament,
the annual Twin City meet, where
Albert Allen '33 champ was to
defend his title against such
players as Bill Penn, Leo BOhanOn,
Freddie Gray, Otis Woodland, Cliff
Rucker, Freddie and Jimmie Stem
mons, Kermit Kitchen, Leo Crump,
Earl Onque, Andy Owens, Lucius
Hendricks, Stafford Lott, AdOlph
Thomas, Don Strawder, Earl Breed
love and LIE Roy Reice. The story
bemOaned that Jimmy Lee, one of
the old guard, was out of town and
wouldn't be in the tourney. The
first issue told of huge joint pic
mic sponsored by the Elk Lodges
and Temples of the two cities on
August 4. Congressman Melvin
Mas was scheduled to address the
mass meeting of st. Paul NAACP.
Mrs. Lionel Allen had house guests
from Seattle, Washington. The
Gloom Chasers were giving a dance
at X. P. Hall, which reminds us
that E. l. Sims was a member of
the circulation department of the
paper during its first months. Earl
was an ardent Gloom Chaser and
that club was a great booster for
the paper.
The Usher Board of Zion Baptist
church sold the Minneapolis paper
for several years each Sunday
morning. Local ministers in "a
we learn from the first edition were
the Revs. C. F. Keefe, E. A. James,
Carlyle F. Stewart, L. W. Harris,
M. C. Mccormick, I. H. Fisher,
William E. Guy, A. Gaynes Thomp-
son, w. M. Majors and H. W. Bolts.
]. w. Pate was general chairman of
the Elks picnic. C. w. Washington,
the Urban league biggie, together
with Calvin Taylor and Mrs. Hat
tie Bell were injured in an auto
crash en- route to the East. The
story reported that Mr.. Washing
ton was on the way to Atlanta to
visit friends. Another early sub
scriber was Clarence o. CLANCY,
the Northwestern Bank vice-presi-
dent who is still on the paid mail
ing list.
Naturally we missed a lot Of
people in these few paragraphs.
These and others helped make our
first issue and those closely follow
ing interesting and at the time of
our ninth anniversary it is pleasant
to look back.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1943-08-13

Some firsts: Nellie DOdsOn was
columnist and Woman's page edi-
tor. MarriOnne PEBBLES, now Mar
rionne Bethel was the first Mime
apolis social correspondent. Estyr
Bradley took over the st. Paul
social and personals soon after the
first issue. Robert Jones is the
oldest staff member in number of
years. He was business manager
of the RECORDER from the first
issue. Arthur Allen, who died last
year, was a crack advertising man.
He managed the paper for six
months while Newman was in st.
Louis. w. M. Smith, Will or Bill
as some call him, until his retire
ment in 1888 was associate editor
and cOpy-reader. Smith, one of
the most useful MinncsOtans, was
associated with Cecil Newman from
1927 until '3S. Mary Jones, BOb's
wife, wrote social and personals
early in the game when Estyr
went East to work for the govern
ment as did Gladys Lewis Harris,
the director of countless stage pre-
sensations and who is now doing
very well, thank you, selling flowers
for all the swanky parties and
weddings. Oscar H. (named for
his grandpOp instead of his dad)
Newman was office boy, porter,
circulation man, high school sports
reporter, collector etc, from the
first year until he reached the
sassy and girl stage. Sergeant
Oscar of the U. S. Army Quarter
master Corps is a natural news
paper guy who will probably find
his way back to the grind after we
lick Hitler.
Then there was little Gene
Hilyard who started out selling 5
copies of the RECORDER weekly
and ended selling a couple of thou
sand. Gene was only knee high
to a duck when he started in 1884
and when he took over circulation
collection in 1910 he was over six
feet tall. Dorothy, Harry L.
SCOTS daughter and sister of In
quisitive Sal, was our first office
girl. She remembers when the
"ghost failed to walk" on time.
C. Marie Hughes was our first
female advertising salewoman and
the best since the late Annie Hall,
who was a newspaper woman if
there ever was one. ]. Ed. Stewart,
old time pioneer hotel man, was a
great help to US in the early days.
Every now and then he would put

Life of Reilly? That's
Life of Farmland Now

OSCEOLA, IOWA.-The life Of a
farmland is no longer a hard lot.
An advertisement appearing in the
local paper asked for a married man
to work on farm. No experience
necessary. Age not important.
Forty hours a week, time and half
for overtime. Wednesday and Sat
urday afternoons off. The privilege
of using the boss car to take the
children to school. No Sunday
chores, because the boss will do
them on that day.

Skunks and Rats to Go
To Germany and japan

LIMA.-Skunks and rats from Al
len county are, appropriately enough,
going to be sent to Germany and
Japan.
At the end Of the trapping season
in Allen county it was discovered
that three tons Of fat were supplied
from muskrat and polecat car
cases. The fat will be transformed
into explosives and donated" to the
Axis. Fat Of a single skunk is enough
to make a 40 nm. shell.

BREAK UP HIS PLAN

THERE is one situation In
which you don't want to prevent
the declarer from using the dunn
my's trumps to run losers Of his
own hand. When 1t exists. you
really should make him run in the
dummy II you can. That Is when
the dummy contains a threatening
side suit, which can be used for
discards only II the declarer is
able to win a trump round in the
dummy after the side suit has
been established. Then the forcing
OF the dummy's trumps for ruff
fing purposes can break up his en-
tire plan.
