COUNTY, POLICEMEN
TURN COWBOYS FOR
CATTLE ROUNDUP

Twenty-one Brahma bulls and
three steers were back in pens
yesterday morning after providing
County policemen c. R. Koonce
and E. Priest and several cow
boys with an eventful night chase
which even included and dalligator
scare.
The animals, part Of the stock
belonging to a rodeo show which
performed here last night, st-ayed
away from a truck in which they
had been penned on Monday night,
according to Milt Hinkle, manager
Of the show.
Mr.. Hinkle Admitted, however,
that his hearty cow punchers had
confessed to being scared to
DEATH of some alligators en-
countered in a swamp they Gov.
cred during the chase.
According to Officer Koonce, he
and Officer Priest were patrolling
their beat and were trying the
doors at the Stadium when they
observed a ''herd of cows wan
dering all over the place. Think
ing they were just ordinary mich
cows, they paid no particular at
tention to them until suddenly it
dawned on the officers that the
CRITTERS were long horn jobs"
They promptly looked up the
owner OF the brutes and discover
ed him to be one of the operators
Of the rodeo. Seeking out the
caretaker of the Stadium, Mr..
Blanchard, the deputies requested
more light on the subject so they
could see just what they were
rounding up.
Then in the company Of the
aforementioned cowhands, the Of
ficers began the chase which
lasted until dayb-eak.
Mr.. Hinkle's account Of the
eventful night included a little
episode which occurred when the
cowboys, on horseback, chased the
bulls to the edge Of swamp.
There they saw something Tipping
in the water and were told by
county officers that it was only
alligators. At the mention OF
alligators the cowboys decided the
bulls could get back the best way
they could. They were not 60
ing in after them. And, says
Mr.. Hinkle, they could not be
budged.
Finally, however, the bulls
strayed back out and the Officers
and cowhands got them safely
penned up again.

CITY ASKS BIDS
FOR PAVING WORK

Bids for construction and repair
of sidewalks in the southern sec
ton of Wilmington are being ad'
vertised by the City, it was an.
nounced yesterday by City Clerk
J. r. Benson.
Mr.. Benson pointed out that thi.
work, now being done by the City
would be turned over to a private
contractor if bids were in keeping
with specifications Of the City as
to cost.
Following the award Of a con.
tract to the S. and G. company Of
Wilmington. to do all necessary
sidewalk work in the northeastern
area Of the city by the council
last week, the city board decided
it might be to the advantage OF
the city to ask again for bids on
the southern work in hopes that
comparable bids for the repairing
ana construction might be rece1v-
ed.
The city has been doing its own
work in the southern section be.
cause bids that have been receiv-
ed for that Job have been consid.
erably higher than the recent
ones on the northeastern project,
the clerk said, and 1t was thought
+ city would save money by do
ing its own work.
He commented on the reason
ableness Of the S. and G. company
bid, explaining that their prices
ranged from $1.o2 to $2.66 per
square yard Of sidewalk, depend.
ing on the type Of the present
walk and the thickness Of the new
walk. The city's cost of doing its
work in the southern sector ranges
from about 81 per square yard,
he continued.

Through A Woman's Eyes
By AMY KRISTINA MATTSON

I wonder if we women, especial
1y we who are also mothers of
children younger or in the teen
ages, realize what a tremendous
responsibility we have in molding
the minds of our youth? Scandi-
navian mothers who still retain an
interest in the land of their fore
fathers, is it not desirable that
We transfer a bit of this interest
TO our children? BY this I do not
mean to impregnate them with
any sort of pressure propaganda
but rather to arouse enough inter-
est in these LANDS who are so
slosely related to them from a

past that they will want to retain
some little contact with their
cousins across the sea.
An exchange of letters between
the youth of our nation and those
across the water would serve to
forge strong link in the chain
of International friendship This
has long been a belief of mine,
that were we able to begin an ex-
tensive correspondence between
children of the Scandinavian coun-
tries and their cousins here, there
would be no need for us to des-
pair at the thoughts of future
cultural exchange between nations.
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1945-05-01

| We have in a small way begun
just such an idea. Through the
medium of the U. S. Sweden
Friendship clubs scattered
throughout the country, children
have affiliated themselves to this
project. Not only will they begin
correspondence with the children
of Sweden as soon as conditions
permit, but in the meantime they
are through a monthly bulletin
learning more about the activities
of their Swedish cousins. Such
subjects as the Swedish schools,
SWeden's geogr aphy, Swedish
gymnastics, Swedish children in
the war preparedness work, and
Lucia celebrations in Stockholm,
have been taken up, plus a few
Swedish words to learn that per-
tain to the subject for the month.
Besides this we have given ideas
for Swedish entertainments and
| parties as we'll as directions for
making little Swedish articles.
These bulletins have met with the
greatest interest on the part of
the youngsters registered. We have
the Junior bulletin for children in
the ages of five to ten years of
age, and the Senior bulletin for
those older
All this is in preparation of
the coming correspondence, which
the Swedish press and organiza-
lions have shown a great deal of
eagerness to cooperate with. So
many children in Sweden have
been studying English in school
so that they can without too great
inconvenience read the letters from
here, and we can always read
theirs.
Wouldn't you like to have your
girl or boy learn about the land
of his forefathers And to later
write to some girl or boy over
lnere Live your youth over
again with your child That is
possible if we can arouse their in
terest in this idea.

just as warm clasp today as it
did during the 20s if we Just
stretch forth our hands to reach
that other. Let us show our chill
dren what a wealth of friendship
lie before them in that northern
land where our roots are SO deep
ly buried.

SL0VENE MEN in WHITE
CRY FOR MEDICAL AID
BY "A. I. GOLDBERG
APP Reatn.ea w ster

BRATISLAVA. - The war is
not over for Slovakia's men in
white, upon whom falls the tre-
mendous task of maintaining
ipublic health with a dearth OF
medical equipment and supplies.
Repatriates are being flooded
into Slovakia, possibly carrying
diseases. In addition the starved
inmates of German concentra-
ton camps have been thrown to
the care of the doctors, who must
carry on without automobiles,
surgical instruments, drugs -
even without food.
The serious medical problem
faced throughout the Danube
valley is illustrated by the plight
of st, Elizabeth's hospital here.
A Catholic institution, with nuns
serving as nurses, it was stripped
by the Germans of all its valuable
Iradium for cancer treatment, OF
all surgical paraphernalia. and OF
all medicines and antiseptics.
With the liberation of the
country two medical missions
hurried into Slovakia from Eng
land, consisting of 100 Slovak and
Czech doctors and 100 nurses.

Every Miss Was
A Hit For Charity
lRx A...Alra,ea rre..,

LONDON.-Due to an anony-
nous mans strange offer, the
family of some soldier, sailor OIL
airman will benefit by about
$3.50 from the Soldiers, Sailors
and Airmen's Families Associa-
ton fund.
When the V-bomb attacks were
at their height last July this man
told his family he was prepared
to pay LIS to war charities for
every week of danger so long as
his house, family, office premises
and staff remained safe. He did
this for Ill weeks.
A few days before the end OF
Leuilons rocket ordeal a W.
landed within 100 yards of his
house, causing some damage. But
this man decided that, since other
homes in the neighborhood were
completely wrecked, such a "trif-
ling matter" as his own ceilings,
roof and windows should not let
him out of his promise.
He sent his usual cheque to the
SSAFA with the request that il
be used to help towards the edu-
cation of a service mans child OF
to help a war widow.
