Three in Lead Tie in
Western Amateur
BY the Assoeioied Press

DULUTH, MINI. Aug. 6.--Poten-
tlal champions were about as thick
as iron ore boats on Lake Superior
today as the 44th Western Amateur
Golf Tournament ; went into its
second day of qualifying with the
field paced by trio of 68s fired in
the opening round yesterday.
Any number of favorites to win
the title could be found, but George
Victor of Chicago. Frank Stranahan
of Toledo, Ohio. and Wilford Wehrle
of Racine. Wis. were the prime can
didates because they were the au-
thors of the 4-under-par cards.
Wehrle and Stranahan each
toured the outgoing nine OF the
6,747-yard hilly Northland course in
l-under-par 35s, while Victor did

Quick OF Inglewood, Calf, who
turned in some hot practice rounds
of 66 and ST, couldn't quite make
the grade yesterday and slid off to
a 36-35-71.
On the theory that the payoff
isn't on qualifying rounds, con-
sideration was given Marvin Bud"
Ward Of Spokane, Wash, although
he had difficulty on the first nine,
getting a 40. His second nine score
OF 80, 4 under par, brought him
back into the running with a rush.
The 68s smashed competitive
record for the Northland course of

Runcie Martin of Duluth and Pat
Sawyer of Minneapolis. Martin
skidded to an 83 yesterday. Sawyer
did not enter this years event.

Jaycees Suggest
Electric Fence
To Halt Cows

The Pascagoula Junior Chamb-
er of Commerce voted Tuesday
night to request the city to in
stall and maintain the necessary
electric fences and cattle guards
along the city limits to prevent
cattle from roaming the streets
here and went on record as sup
porting the move to build a libra
ry-war memorial in Pascagoula.
In the discussion on the cat
tie problem, which has been be-
fore almost every civic group in
the city, it vas pointed out that
the cost of constructing and main
tanning an electric fence would be
relatively small and that the line
could be maintained by the .city's
pound man. Members with knowl-
edge of this type of structure
estimated that the cost would be
small. amounting to only a few
hundred dollars.
II was also pointed out that the
city has natural water barriers
for a good portion of its limits
and that the lines would be neces-
sary only in sparsely settled sec
tons. A current strong enough
to prevent animals from coming
into the city would not be harm
full even to children if they
should touch it, it was explained,
but would only tickle" them
with a light shock.
Much enthusiasm was evidenc-
ed for the project and the belief
was expressed that part or all OF
the material needed could be OBJ
tanned from surplus property
for which the city has o priority,
and the small cost reduced fur
iher.
President Edward Galloway
asked that as many members as
possible attend the state Jaycee
convention in Greenwood ON May
9Th and 5th.

Change In Hours
For Pascagoula
Postal Service

Beginning Monday. April 10,
the opening hour for money order
and postal savings business at
the main post office will be
changed from 8 to 0 o'clock and
the closing hours will be at 5 in
stead of 6 o'clock a at present.
Hours for other classes of bust
ness will not be changed, nor
will window services of any
character be changed at East
lawn Branch or at Station No. /.
During the war years, Post
master Smith explained, the
longer hours were observed as an
accommodation to the thousands
of industrial workers who did not
leave their work until late in the
afternoon, and had less than an
an hour to transact financial
business. Now with shorter work.
ing hours, and the business firms
of Pascagoula announcing a one
day closing each week, the post
office will observe the hours
customary in offices of the first
class.
Changing of the hours was app
proved by the Post Office De-
partment following a study of
conditions by post office inspect
ors. 1t was found that the window
service hours at the main office
had established a record for long
hours each day and sustained
day to day service, as for nearly
three years the service windows
were closed only on Sundays,
Christmas and Thanksgiving, all
other holidays being disregarded.
