County Streams
Stocked With
Fish

Dickinson County streams were
stocked with approximately five
thousand sunfish and rock bass
red eye Tuesday with fish re
ceived from the federal hatchery
at Wytheville and the state hatch
cry at Front Royal.
The fish were placed in Nc
Clure River, near Nora; in Cranes
Nest from three miles below the
bridge on the state highway to
mile above, and in Pound River
from near Isom to Pine Creek.
The consignment from the state
hatchery were the largest fish
ever received here for that pur-
pose, consisting Of sunfish and
rock bass from four to six inches
in length. The shipment from
the federal hatchery consisted en-
tirely of rock bass of much less
er size.
The fish from the federal hatch
cry were delivered to J. E. King,
while H. NJ Kirby delivered
those received from the Front
Royal Hatchery. Mr.. Kirby as
sisted in placing the fish from
both hatcheries in streams men
toned before starting on his re-
turn. He has delivered fish to this
county from the state hatchery
for the past several years.
Roy Bentley assisted in placing
fish in Cranes Nest.
Russell Fork River from just
above Haysi to near the Buchan-
an county line was stocked two
or three weeks ago with $500
black bass from the Wytheville
hatchery. The federal and state
hatcheries have assisted jointly
in stocking streams of this coun-
ty and fish have been divided as
nearly equal as possible among
all of the streams.
It is the opinion of fishermen
that sunfiSh and rock bass thrive
and propagate faster in streams
here than any other sort.

"SMALL SIZE' BALLOTS
TO BE USED IN ELECTION

Another ripple in county poll
tics was caused last week by tIle
presentation of a petition to the
state supreme court seeking to
have the ballots for the county
election declared illegal.
The petition was submitted by
Burns Willis, of Georges Fork,
and alleged that the ballots were
not printed in the size type requir
ed by state law, which reads, in
part, as follows: the ballots
shall be in clear print x x and
the type used in printing said
ballots shall be plain roman type
not smaller than plea"
It was alleged that the ballots,
as printed. were in 8 point type
or smaller while the law requires
plea. which is II point type.
The court on Thursday rem
dered it's decision, refusing the
mandamus.
In answering Willis petition,
the county electoral board adj
mitted that the $4,000 ballots
printed for the election were not
printed in a type Gin strict COM
pliance with the provisions of the
statute" but the board believed
it was readable. Further, the
board, or some part of it, stated
there is no print shop in Dicken-
son equipped to print the ballots
in plea type for the election and
more than 800 ballots (small
size) had been delivered to alb
sent voters. It held that to re-
print large ballot would be a
considerable hardship.
(Note-For the information of
those who may not know what
"pica" size type is, we give below
a name printed in this type, and
state that there is plenty of it
in this shop. Here it is:

toned to complete the task they have un-
dertaken without loss of time.
A quick victory over the Germans in Italv
will have incalculable advantage. Not only
will the loss Of its contingent in Italy impose
a serious handicap on Germany's military
operations The Allies will also have bases
from which to attack German-controlled oil
fields in Rumania and Hungary and all of
southern Germany practically at will.
But we are at present interested in the
Italian divisions, said to number approximate-
lily twenty-three in France and the Balkans.
What is to become of them, now that Italy
has surrendered and definitely Quit the Ger
mans? Will they be permitted to r e turn
peacefully to Italy or will Nazi firing SQUADS
commit mass murders upon them for what
the Berlin radio calls Italy's treachery? Or,
now that they are technically released from
German control, will they turn upon their
masters and join the underground in the
lands where they have served and strengthen
the coming revolt against Germany?
AS the great mass of Italian armed forces
have had no heart in the fight against the
Allies, and have marked up heavy score
against their overbearing military masters.
it seems probable that henceforth their arms
will be directed to aiding the overthrow of
the Hitlerites.

Stop Signs

We have mentioned stop signs-sone time
ago. But because they are still mostly out
of sight for motorists, it appears to be time
to bring them up again.
They are low. They are usually hidden by
parked car. Strangers in the city, of whom
there are plenty and who know nothing about
our stop streets, have no chance to heed their
command. They are constantly disobeying the
order, not through carelessness but ignorance
This applies, of course, to the signs along
curbs. Where they exist on center parkways
there is no excuse for not seeing them as
they are at the left of the driver But else
where, particularly where parking is heavy.
they might well not exist at all.
There would seem to be no good reason
why the authorities should not raise them on
posts high enough to prevent their being hid
den behind parked vehicles or reset them at
the exact corner, where no car parks and
no observant driver would fail to see them.
So placed no driver would have a valid
excuse for violating the stop law, and the
accident expectancy would probably be ma.
terially reduced

An Unsavory Subject

With only limited crew ard equipment
available, garbage collection in Wilmington is
not as good as it could be, but that does not
account for the messy condition of curbs
and streets, particularly downtown. The mes
siness is due to garbage being placed in un-
covered containers and to rowing dogs and
cats that overturn cans and scatter o d
scraps and bones.
There is city ordinance requiring that all
garbage be placed in covered containers, and
that the covers fit snugly so that they will
not come off if the container is overturned
But it is not universally observed. Any pedes-
trian abroad in the early morning cannot fail
to note the large number of containers, often
paper cartons wooden boxes, with much
of their original contents scattered emitting
noxious odors and gathering flies. This is OBJ
jectionable because of the unsightliness of the
display and because the public health is jeop-
ardized.
1t may be due in part to the scarcity of
garbage cans. But there is no good reason
why substitute containers cannot be covered
and the covers heavily weighted. The arrest
of few offenders would serve to refocus
public attention on the law, and probably
would end the offense

Italian Foreign Forces

With 100000 German troops in Italy and
American forces landing north of Naples, it
is apparent that the country Mussolini forced
into this war as Htler's ally cannot escape
becoming a major battle-ground. The people
the Duce forced unwlllingly into a conflict
they detested must pay in blood and wasted
lands for his folly.
The campaign to eradicate the Nazi occupa-
tional army will be bitter but may be short

North Africa, General Montgomery's valiant
