Another episode is now added to Tuesday mornings sights when the going bad One local school teacher
 living on hiy street, tried to make her way to school with great difficulty. Finally she arrived at flight of steps, 90 in number which she had to descend to reach another intersection What sight! All ice! To attempt to walk was dangerous to life and limb, so happy thought came to her. She sat down and slid the entire length of the steps and landed intact much to the amusement of some children looking on.

Students of New Hanover High
school are affording a large num-
Der of additional help needed by
Wilmington merchants during the
i943 Christmas season, according
to Miss Edna Russell, instructor
in distributive educatlcn of the
high school, who is placing stu
dents in the various positions
where needed.
Miss Russell reports that more
than $50 students have been plac-

who have employment in the post
office. About ITS more students.
who are regularly employed BY
business establishments in Will
mington will also be working full
time during this season.
These students who have been
approved for work of this type
will be excused from their classes
Dec. 10 at noon and devote their
full time to work from that time
until Christmas. These students
are from all four classes, but
they must have an average of at
least "C'' in all subjects and
the permission of their instructors.
Before being assigned to posi-
ton these students must also have
a permit from their parents and
have this signed by the employer
who desires to employ them. These
applications are then checked by
T. T. Hamilton, principal, against
their record
Merchants who desire to employ
students may do so yet by calling
Miss Russell, who may be found
in the high school office every
afternoon this week, where she
is interviewing students. She has
a number of students on file whom
she will assign to the positions
they are capable of handling.
These applications should be in
by Friday, December 8, and will
not be accepted after Monday,
as the checking necessitates sew
eral days.
During the past week Miss Fus-
sell has been conducting classes
for the training of thes students
in which she has taught the neces'
sity of sales slips and their legi'
bility. Courtesy, friendliness, at
titude, and making change were

10000 Ex-Prisoners
Now Serve in Army,
Maverick Reveals
"A. P. Wirephoto.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Approxi-
mately 10000 ex-prisoners are now
serving in the Army, Maury Nave
rick, director Of the Government di-
vision of the War Production Board,
disclosed yesterday in making pub
lie his report on prisons in wartime,
which he has presented to Donald
M. Nelson, WPB chairman.
The document, made public by Mr.
Maverick at the 73d annual Con-
gress Of Correction, incorporates
report made by William H. Burke,
chief OF the WPB prisons industry
branch.
OF the 10000, the report stated,
an estimated 25, 900 are former in
mates and PAROLES who have been
inducted as result Of voluntary ap-
plication for induction"
Production Increased.
An improvement in prison morale
directly attributable to the war, the
report stated, was stepped-up agri-
cultural and industrial production
within prisons. Farm production
totaled $24, 900 900 in 1912. while in
dustrial production in 1943 was VAL
ued at $25,000, 600, in addition to
$lS 900, 900 in Federal prisons.
Quoting Lewis E. Lawes. former
warden at Sing Sing. as saying that
prison morale generally throughout
the United States is better than at
ofh In, hn htcfnrvr of
the country" the report cited as
evidence Of real patriotic feeling"
lprisoner-reSponse to blood donation
and bomber fund requests.
This improvement in morale" It
said, may be attributed in part to
the bracing effect Of increased abil-
ity to work in substantial productive
industries, thus lessening the de-
pressing. II not paralyzing, effect Of
prison idleness."
Urges Federal Employment.
At the same meeting A. H. Con-
nor. associate commissioner of Fed
eral Prison Industries, Inc, Of
Washington criticized what he
called "the inconsistency Of urging
society to absorb rehabilitated men
when We should be the first ones to
give them q chance"
He advised prison officials to take
advantage of the Civil Service law
amendment negating ban on en-
ployment of convicts until two years
after their release.
Harold E. Donnell, superintendent
OF prisons in the State Department
Of Correction Of Maryland, cited
cases Of PAROLES who had become
admirable aides" in the State.
Elizabeth Munger, warden Of the
Connecticut State Prison and Farm
for Women, suggested recall of re-
tired assistants, adding that her in
stitution had recalled women as old
as 10 and they were doing we'll"
Joseph w. Sanford, warden of the
United States Penitentiary at At
lanta, suggested employment of dis
charged servicemen to alleviate the
manpower shortage.
