Colin is investigating the seeming
ly frail, mild hammered Jonathan
Dove. head of two Indian schools
and power among many trappers.
"Once / heard him called the most
dangerous man in Canada" Colin
told Trina. Eluding Dove, left be-
hind in Winnipeg, Colin and Trina
Hew in a small plane, owned and
piloted by Blair Benedict, former
schoolgirl chum of Colin Heavy
snow forced her to make an emer-
gency landing at Trappers Lake
where the veteran Alec Gum
sheltered the trio. Next morning,
Alec and Blair started on foot for
Learmonth, Trina and Colin soon
following. The meeting between
Trina and Selkirk seems most hap
py and romantic. Later, Colin tells
Selkirk what he knows of the muir
der of Van Downe. another Com
pany agent. and why he still sus-
poets Dove though the latter has
been cleared officially. He shows
Rodney 1917 photo. found behind
Van Downe's desk, featuring 4

one of them is Dove. As they are
talking, the latter arrives. Colin

Selkirk, and Colin to visit his
school next Wednesday. Calling
Colin outside, Dove promises "a
fight to the last ditch" if the former
or his Company fight me-" Later,
Trina is introduced to ma" Cor.
rigals. the innkeeper, and makes q
good impression.

Animal Welfare Leagues
Urged 10 Expand PROGRAM

DR.. Esther L. Richards, associate
professor of psychiatry at Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, yes
terday urged representatives of the
Federation of Animal Welfare
Leagues of Maryland, the District,
Virginia and West Virginia to plan
educational programs designed to
instill in children a desire to be
kind to animals.
DR.. Richards, who addressed a
federation luncheon at the May
flower Hotel, told delegates that
children are not born with a fear
OF animals. These fears, she said.
are caused by over cautious par
ents, and must be dissipated through
education.
We cannot hope to outlaw war
in the world until we change the
spirit of human nature, DR.. Rich
ards said. BY teaching kindness
to animals. she continued, we at
tempt to destroy the cruel streak
in humans.
Senator Radcliffe, Democrat, of
Maryland, told members of the fed
Grafton that he approved the or
carnations program. He said he
was reared on a farm and learned
early in life to respect the feelings
OF animals.

The Ranger got more attention
and applause from the children's s
audience, but one of the most inter-
esting stories of the circus staff was
that of Lion Trainer George Keller,
who doubles in private life as pro-
fessor of art at Pennsylvania's State
Teachers College, in Bloomsbury
He started his animal act 80 years
ago.
Il was g. he said, "and my
brother and I started an animal
circus starring all the alley cats and
stray dogs in town. We had one
every year till I went away to
college,
Years later, when I came back
to Bloomsbury to teach, two of my
students didn't have money to fin-
ish school, so I revived my circus
experience. I bought a big South
American lizard, exhibited it in a
tent as a Chinese dragon. made

his act developed, and five years
ago he began travelling with Cir
cuses during the summer months.
MY wife is the daughter of the
county school superintendent, and
she doesn't know what to make of
me-" he grinned. My two kids
daughters-want to grow up to be
like their daddy. But not the pro-
fessor part. They don't like school
They want to be animal trainers

248 District Veterans
Have Received S7,022
In Job|ess Payments

A total of 248 Washington vet
Grams have received checks from the
District Unemployment Compensa-
ton Board under the GI Bill of
Rights since the unemployment
payments started going out last
month, it was announced last night.
The board said payments had
totaled $7,022. The highest number
of checks issued to veterans in one
week amounted to ITO, with a value
of $2,192.
Veterans placement officials at
the United States Employment
Service said veterans were claiming
unemployment compensation for
one or two weeks while they looked
around for permanent jobs or waited
for job applications to be processed.
In some cases, it was said, veterans
got jobs before the first payment
could be made.
VINO Area Director Ernest ".
Connolly announced that despite
the exemption of veterans from all
job controls, an average of 500 a
month are continuing to visit the
USES and the turnover among them
is surprisingly small. No employer,
he said, had complained about vet
Grams quitting jobs because they
were not subject to job controls.
Mr.. Connolly added that most of
the veterans know they don't have
to go through the USES but think
the agency's facilities offer more
and better job opportunities than
they could find on their own.
Mr.. Connolly pointed out that
veterans making use of USES ia
cilities are told about jobs in other
communities as we'll as in Wash
ington and also are counseled and
given other information.
He suggested that veterans re-
cord their discharges and get card
establishing their status as veterans
before seeking work. To get the card,
the veteran brings his discharge to
the USES where a veterans repre-
sentative will issue him a card on
which has been stamped Veteran
Status Verified"

OPA Appeals for Volunteer Aid
AS Gas Ration Book Rush Beoins

Applications for the new A and D
gasoline ration books are coming
into local ration boards in such
great numbers it is becoming I'm
possible for the small paid staff to
issue them promptly, District Office
of Price Administration officials said
last night in issuing an appeal for
volunteers.
The agency now is about three
days behind schedule in issuance
and the jam is getting worse,
Charles K. Davies, District ration
ing executive said.
AS of the close business yesterday,
the OPA had issued 10000 of the
new books which go into use Mo-
vember 9. This Is slightly less than
IS per cent of the city's estimated
125,000 automobile and motorcycle
registration.
The books are issued from OPA
headquarters after being processed
at the boards.
ALL coupons in the present ra-
ton book expire midnight Novem-
Der 3 and A-12s will be scrapped.
Evening star., 1944-10-22

The new books will start out with
Abs. They will be worth 4 GAL
Ions each, but there will be only
three coupons of this series. They
will be good through December 81.
With the valuation of A-f4s on
December %, also worth 4 gallons
each, the entire country will be on
the same valuation basis. Actually,
1t means no change in the basic
ration, officials point out, as the
new books still give motorists only
"a gallons for each three-month
period.
Volunteers willing to give two
or three hours any day during the
next two weeks should apply to
Miss Daphne Dodds, OPA volun-
teer specialist, 5601 Connecticut
avenue NV. The telephone is
Ordway 6700, Extension 1854.
Applications for the new books
can be procured at local boards,
service stations, Federal Transpor-
tation Committees, the Keystone
Automobile Club or the American

When She Is Given Ride on Silver

Helen Hoover, age "7-going -on-8,"
starred in an unplanned sideshow
during the Frank Wirth circus at

and became the envy of several
hundred other children who cram
med the sides of the ratings and
pushed their way across the saw
dust ring to watch.
For the Lone Ranger, who had
caused mob scene all around the
arena when he stopped his pranc-
ing horse, Silver. to shake hands
with some of the screaming chill
dren. had picked up Helen. put her
on Silver's back, and held her hand
while she sat there and grinned
at him.
When the Ranger rode Silver
around the ring, Helen clung to the
rail with the other children, to shake
his hand. But he didn't stop where
she was. She turned away from
the rail and said, Il been saving
his pictures for two years"

Ranger was riding out with Silver.
Helen squealed all the way over,
Lone Ranger!" The Ranger was
almost out of the arena but he
stopped. got of Silver and smiled
at Helen.
She smiled back, and a minute
later, she was sitting on Silver's
back. She didn't say a word, but
when the Ranger lifted her down
and tweaked a curl she ran back
across the arena to her grand
mother, Mrs. May Law, 1899 Nichols

Montgomery Charter
Attacked by Morgan
As Using Double Talk

The proposed charter for Mont
gomery County is ''replete with con-
fusing and misleading language"
according to 10 v. Morgan, former
one-man Board of Tax Appeals for
the District and a member of the
Montgomery County Citizens Com
mittee to Defeat Charter.
AS an example of what he
described as double talk" Mr..
Morgan said one of the charters
provisions states that there shall
be a department of education un-
der the immediate direction of the
County Board of Education consti-
tuted as provided by law"
This provision contemplates two
separate bodies, Mr.. Morgan said,
the present County Board of Edu-
cation as now appointed by the
Governor which the charter can
not affect under State law, and the
other the useless, new bureaucratic
group called the Department of
Education subservient to or under
the immediate direction of the
County Board of Education. Why
both are needed, no one has yet
explained"
Questions Meaning of Phrase.
He also questioned the meaning
of the phrase, "as provided by law"
asking whether it meant that of
the County Council set up in the
proposed charter or the present
State law.
This situation" Mr.. Morgan de-
clared. means the only way that
the County Department of Educa-
ton can grow beyond small and
useless group of new bureaucrats is
for the Charterites to fight to
amend the State Law as far as the
Montgomery County school system
is concerned, and when they do ac-
compliSh that, take over the school
system -. Is that the charter
program? No one has said yes, no
or maybe"
Sees Another Conflict.
He said similar conflict would
exist between the proposed Depart
ment Of Health and the State
health officer, the proposed Depart
ment Of Welfare and the County
Welfare Board and the Department
OF Finance and the State supervisor
OF assessments.
Observation-Disclosures, which the
Charterites are so prone to use"
Mr.. Morgan asserted, 'is a less of
fensive word than bureaucracy, but
:. call it what you will, the set-up
in the proposed charter will create
Ia bureaucracy of the worst type;
that is to say, not only expensive
but confusing as we'll"

War Bond Turn-ins
|Discouraging|y Brisk,
Nation S Banks Report

Banks throughout the country
have been doing q discouragingly
brisk business in War Bond re-
demptions since they were per-
mitted on October to turn over
the cash directly, it was learned
yesterday.
Whether or not investors in the
District are surrendering more
bonds now than they did when it
was necessary to have them re-
deemed at the Treasury could not
be determined. But on a national
basis, more bonds have been turned
in since October 2 than during any
comparable period since the secur-
tiles first went on sale in May, 1910.
During the first 10 days of the
month, the Treasury reported,
1929 ,088,879 worth of bonds were
cashed in while only s293, 3,S57 ,581
new ones were purchased.
Redemptions Begin to Drop.
Bank officials and the Treasury
agreed, however, that redemptions
were beginning to level off and
would soon average no more than
the number redeemed through the
Treasury before this month.
The majority of those cashing in
bonds here" said one bank officer
ARE the same people who have al
ways held their bonds for the mini
mum of 60 days and then turned
them in" These investors, he said
were people whose payroll deduc-
tions were greater than they could
afford.
The heavy columns Of redemp-
tions at first, the Treasury said
was partly owing to the fact that
some persons misunderstood the
new plan. They thought the Gov
ernment wanted them to turn In
their bonds.
Only to Eliminate Red Tape.
This, the Treasury reminded, i;
definitely not the case. Investors
should hold their bonds as long as
possible. The new system was
CoCobtioAICo OliAy W clllllllldlc lIle
red tape and delay encountered by
people who. really needed the cash
when they had to send their Sc
curities to the Treasury here and
wait for their checks.
The Treasury also explained that
it hoped the system eventually WOULD
result in fewer persons redeemine
their bonds. Under the old setup
people would prepare for financia
emergencies by cashing in bond:
far in advance. Sometimes, the
emergencies wouldn't develop, but
they didn't re-invest the money.
Now, said the Treasury, wher
they know they can get their cash
over the counter at almost any
bank. they will leave their bond:
intact until the last possible mo.
nent.
