Surprises will never cease, il
seems. We saw an article recently
which had the following caption;
Juvenile Delinquency Not New
Old Newspapers Show" Well, to
this we will readily agree, lock,
stock and barrel. The article told
of the city officials being perplexed
in years gone by about this prob
lem of juvenile delinquency, which
has recently bobbed up, evidenced
by numerous depredations and rob-
berries, etc, by delinquents. This
was quoted as being back in 1873
126 years ago. Other dates given OF
bad youngsters were 1849 and 1912
Yes, we remember when on election
night big bon-fires used to be built
in the Public Square with boxes
and other infammable articles
SWITCHED from stores and back yards
Also on Halloween when it was no
unusual thing for a farmer to find
his wagon on top of the barn roof.
But years have passed, ways
have changed and people do not dc
just exactly as they did back in the
horse and buggy days. There has
been progress along many lines and
more is expected of youngsters and
parents, perhaps, too-today with
advanced education and culture all
around US. We know juvenile de-
linquency is not new but with the
passing of years there surely should
be improvement. If not, then we
are not making progress.

A vivid reminder of horse and
buggy days is portrayed in a pic
ture in possession of c. Hayes Lam
dis, proprietor of Spangler's Tackle
store, on West Franklin street. It
shows the delivery wagon of Span
gler's Grocery, then located at 80
North Potomac street, conducted by
the late Charles Spangler, "Old
Bill the faithful delivery horse, is
attached to the wagon and Mr.. Lam
dis, as the driver, making deliveries
around town, stands beside the wag-
on. "Old Bill' was we'll trained in
the delivery business, as were many
delivery wagon horses in those days.
He had the habit of speeding up the
pace considerably in rounding street
corners. The picture was taken at
the Burkett lot, at the corner of
Broadway and North Locust streets,
in 1868 years ago.

Squad Of Marines
Performs It's Mission
3 Men Survive
BY Staff Sgt. Joseph l.. ALI
MARINE Corps Combat
Correspondent

NEW BRITAIN (Delayed)-Three
Marines, the only survivors of a
squad of nine, today told the dra-
matte story of their encounter with
a numerically superior Japanese
force in the wild jungle of Cape
Gloucester.
Corp. James E. Thomas of Phila-
delphia, assistant squad leader, Pfc.
Henry j. Kent of Asheley, Va, and
Pfc. William K. Watts of Muncie,
Ind, are the only members of the
group that escaped enemy fire.
1.-TWO of our buddies were killed,
and the other four wounded" Pfc.
Kent said. Some of the wounded
are in bad shape"
Formed Units Spearhead.
The squad was the spearhead of a
unit being used as flank protection
for the main assault forces smashing
their way up the coast to the
Gloucester airdromes.
''The terrain was so rough that
even tanks found the going tough"
related Pfc. Watts, advance scout
who was the first to come upon the
enemy 81 sent word back as soon
as l saw the first Jap, and then the
shooting started.
"They were dug in behind the
heavy brush, and hidden machine
guns were blazing in our direction.
We couldn't see them until we were
nearly on top of them. But we
could hear them jabbering and yell
ing"
Our BAR men didn't have a
chance to fire." Corp. Thomas said.
Zone /of them was killed and the
other badly wounded in the opening
burst They got our squad leader,
too.
Wounded Men Rescued.
1.-TWO squads were sent up to help
us, but they were pinned down on
our tanks. The only thing left for
us to do was to try to get our
wounded men to safety"
Corp. Thomas, picking up the
automatic weapon of one of his
fallen comrades, and Pvt. William
H. Stagg, Jr., of Birmingham, Ala,
covered the withdrawal.
"They finally got Stage, but only
after he knocked off four or five
Japs," Corp. Thomas said. There
was plenty of lead flying around.
I guess I was pretty lucky"
Privates First Class Kent and
Watts, meanwhile, became separated
from their squad. I'VE thought they
were done for" Corp. Thomas con-
Guided, ''but they finally turned up
from nowhere"
The enemy force, estimated at a
company's strength, eventually was
routed from its position as Marine
reinforcements were brought in.
Twenty-one japanese dead were
counted, and there was evidence
that others had fed into the hills,
taking their wounded with them.
! The number of rifles left behind
indicated that the number of
wounded Japs ran into high figures.

PETERSBURG. Alaska, Feb. 25. Especial to Empire) Hi, fellahs up there in Juneau - your little bunch of High School Crimson Bears sharpened their claws and what did they do to the Petersburg High School Vikings last night in the second game for the basketball championship of Southeast Alaska Well they ran the locals ragged with three minutes to go and walked |off the floor winners by 39 to 35 score. That's what they did after trailing the better part of the game. The game was fast one, far different from the first night when beth teams were not so hot, al- though the Vikings then won 43 to 23 because the visitors could not work the ball in. could not hit the hoop and seemed scared on a large court and also considerably smaller in stature.
 But last night the Bears appear ed like a different team. There was a decided evidence of good team work, perhaps the spurring of Coach Barney Anderson, an expert at basketball
 The game was cloSe one all the way until that last part when some one shouted: Three minutes to go.''
 Wowie--did that work and how
 Just look-the first quarter ended 8-8: the second ended 18 to F, Ju- neau ahead one point, and the third quarter was 27 to 31 with Petersburg in a Appoint lead.
 Then the Juneau boys huddled and went onto the floor with their claws scratching the floor. That three minutes to go" caused their nerve to go up and zowie-did they go, and did the rangy Vikings get a shock-they did.
 The Bears speeded, which they had done previously, and this pre- vailed over the height of the Vik- ings Just to show how the Bears went, and did they mean business with the Vikings, cause both Scott of the Bears and Swanson of the Vikings fouled out in that last quarter.
 A brilliant guard game was play

Crisis I'm County Government

Crisis In County Government
The Governor was much inter
ested a few days ago in the pro-
posal made at the Roanoke meet
ing of the Virginia League of
Counties, that county govern
ment clinic" be established at
the University of Virginia. It
makes us feel like saying, 'This
Is where we came in" For there
appears to be little difference
between county government
clinic" with headquarters at the
State University, and Commits
sion on County Government di-
rected by a professor at that in
stitution. AS noted already, the
commission was headed for years
by DR.. Spicer of the university
faculty, and all it got was repeat
ed rebuffs from the General AS
sembly and the courthouse rings,
notably the members of both
groups who were affiliated with
the Organization"
So if Governor Darden, as the
organizations leader in Virginia,
can reverse this trend and con-
vince the county officers and the
assemblyrnen that county govern
ment is tottering to it's doom-as
it certainly is unless something
is done quickly-he will per-
form a great service. He has
