School Attendance
Continued from Page One)

one of the large department stores
there. Several people in the store
questioned them as to why they were
not in school. Everywhere they went
they were confronted with the ques-
ton. Some one even started to no..
tify the attendance officer for the
city of Wilmington.
We need that same attitude to-
ward attendance here. 1t is the
childs rightful heritage to go to
school. When parents keep them
out or allow them to stay out, then
the child is robbed of his privilege
to go to school, If he attends regu-
larry, and if classes are not too large
then he stands mighty good chance
of being promoted. We want to
cooperate with you to the utmost.
Ii is expensive to have to reteach
a child. We much prefer to send
them en- to the next grade.
Another thing too. to be consider
ed in attendance is that teachers
are allotted on the basis of the num-
Der in average daily attendance.
Regular attendance assures us of
larger number of teachers and less
crowded conditions in the class
rooms. Right now there is an av-
e"age of 40 per teacher in the grades.
This is about ten too high for a
teacher to do justice to herself and
to the child. Children who are to
be in school this year should be en-
rolled right now. According to the
state law first graders have to enter
school during the first month of
school. So please get them in at
once"

VICTOR AND sPOILS - AlIs
fair in love. war, and baby con-
tests, and to the victor in any one
of them belong the spoils.
In this particular case we are
referring to a baby Identification
contest, and the spoils are a combi-
nation rattle and teething-ring and
an official entry-blank in the
Most-Beautiful-Baby Contest of
1892" and the victor is none other
than Mr.. Daniel Quinlivan, of 1917
Nun street.
The Identification contest, you
know, started yesterday morning
with the printing of that picture
of Wilmington wee ones which the
late Mr.. ~Cronenberg photographed
in his studio back in 1890. and 1892.
A BIT EMBARRASSED - Well,
now, to tell the truth, we are a
bit embarrassed that Mr.. Quinliv-
an has claimed the spoils for being
the first Wilmingtonian to recog-
nize himself or herself in that old
photo. We figured that after a span
of some so years nobody would be
able to remember what he or she
looked like in the crib and play
pen days. We just thought that you
folks might be interested in the
picture as a curiosity.
So imagine u surprise when
MI. Quinlivan called up yesterday
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-08-13

and Identified himself. And, we re-
peat, imagine our embarrassment
because we don't have that COM
bination rattle and teething-ring
and that entry-blank in the 1892
contest to give him.
THE BOY IN BLACK - While
we r. worrying about how to pay
off Mr.. Quinlivan for winning the
contest, suppose we tell you how
he happened to find himself in that
picture:
Currently convalescing at his
home on Nun street after a long
illness, he picked up yesterdays
Star, as is his wont, and ran right
into himself on Page Eight. Yes,
he is the little boy dressed in black
near the bottom of the photograph,
and he is holding his little brother
in his lap. His little brother would
have been SO years old next month,
if he had lived.
Mr.. Quinlivan has the original
picture at his home, just to prove
that his Identification is correct.
LIVING MEMENTO - Well. as
we said before, we don't know how
to reward Mr.. Quinlivan for win
ming the contest. Frankly, we feel
that there is no adequate way in

And So To Bed

There are no limits to which
the staff of The Star will go
to make sure that the subscr1b-
ers get a newspaper In the
morning.
Last night a reporter on the
scent of a new story got to
crawling over some small craft
docked In the river. As he lean
ed over the side of one boat his
eyeglasses slid into the water.
Blinded but undaunted, he
CROPPED his way home and got
his spare pair of specs, These,
however, had no ear-pieces.
Holding the glasses to his eyes.
he made his way back to the
office.
Another reporter, q leisure
time mechanic, fashioned two
emergency ear-pieces from
copper wire, bound them to
the glasses with rubber bands,
and installed them on the other
reporters head.
The improvision worked
fine. The rubber band burst
and the glasses flew off -
just as the reporter pulled his
last story from the typewriter.

GHOST LOT GIVES
BOARD BAD Time
County Commissioners
Face Unique Problem
On Property Taxes

A unique problem on taxes that
were repeatedly paid on a tract of
land that repeatedly does not exist
confronted the New Hanover coun-
ty board of commissioners at its
regular meeting yesterday morn
ing.
According to a request for a tax
refund made by a widow, owner of
the alleged non-existent lot at Sum-
mer Hill, the. missing property
was decided to her by her husband.
An investigation by local attorney,
however, tends to show that such
a lot is nowhere to be found.
Refund Impossible
After Commissioner George
Trask moved that the tax refund
on the lot be made, the board de-
cided to withhold the refund until
County Attorney Marsden Bellamy
could check on the matter. Bellamy
then said that such a refund could
not be made legally unless it had
been filed within go days Of the
payment Of the taxes.

Whistlers Blamed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-P-
American soldiers greeting Latin
American senoritas have whlstled
up an international incident.
The State department acknowl-
edged Monday that Peru had
lodged a complaint over a whist
ling incident at Talraa, in North
ern Peru.
The department declined to ella
borate.
From Lima, however, came a re-
port that a street fight resulted
between American soldiers and
Peruvian officers in which several
men were injured.
Subsequently the affair was
raised in the Peruvian Congress
now debating whether the United
States should be given an extern

WARNINGS ISSUED
BY CONTROL FOES
D Board Hears
Rumble OF Black Mar
kets, Confusion

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL. -P-
Nearly a score of price control op-
ponents and hackers put clashing
arguments into the record Monday
as the powerful Decontrol board
opened hearings on whether to
clamp price lids back on major
food items.
Mondays hearing was on the
question of restoring ceilings to
grain, and livestock, and poultry
feed. However, the board allowed
President Edward O'Neal of the
American Farm Bureau federation
to cover in a single presentation
other farm products on which the
board must make decisions by
August 81.
Hear Both Sides
Throughout the morning and
early afternoon an unbroken string
of control opponents marched be-
fore the board to sound warnings of
new black markets, boarding, arti-
fetal shortages and confusion if
ceilings are reimposed But sup
porters of control got their say
later as such consumer groups as
the OFA advisory committee were
heard.
Through its representative, Doro-
thy Dulls Bourne, the committee
directed it's attention to recent in
rease of bread and breakfast
food and told the board it should
control all major grains.
Represent Consumers
Miss Bourne described her COM
mittee as an independent group OF
80 men and women who represent
the viewpoint of the consumer.
O'Neal declared it would "be a
mistake to recontrol grain, live
stock, dairy products, cottonseed
soybeans, and the products derived
from them"
When Congress revived OPA un-
til June of next year, 1t provided
that ceilings would be reimposed
on these articles on August Il un-
less the Decontrol board ruled
otherwise in the meantime. on
some other products, including
poultry, petroleum and tobacco,
ceilings cannot be re-estaollsheo
unless the board affirmatlvely
| gives its permission.
