Story OF THE YEAR

Last year at this time we picked
a story that represented the life
Of servicemen. This year perhaps
the story most indicative of the
changing times is a sequel:
The telephone rang and the
|Ioung mother answered. Her mo-
her was on the line. .1

phoned to ask if Dad and I could
lave your children with you and
Tom tonight. We're invited out"

base pay, would approximate a
$100, 900 yearly increase in the de-
partment's annual payroll, Chief
Groom said.
The department now has 76
full-time employees, exclusive of
the chief. This figure is the "ab-
solute minimum allowable by the
underwriters to maintain the city,
fire rates in triple A classified
ton, declared the chief.
Based on the number of firemen
actually On duty at any given time
period of the day or night, the AAA
classification is the lowest rate Of
fered by the underwriters board.
Shifts Alternate
"To maintain this rating" the
chief said, 'it would be necessary
to add 40 more men to the depart
ment before we could effect a
working schedule whereby every
man in the force could have a day
off weekly, plus two weeks an
nual vacation"
One-half of the force works one
week on a day time shift of IL con-
secutive hours, and a nighttime
shift on a 13-hour basis, under the
present schedule, said the chief.
The shifts alternate each week.
Unofficially, members of the
city council-wao will have to deter
mine eventually the demands of
the firemen-have indicated a will
lingness to discuss one upward pay
increases and possible modification
of working schedules to permit adj
ditional free time. In private con-
versations, however, councilmen
have labelled the firemen's de-
mands, as published, somewhat
excessive.

N CLARK
VOTED TO OVERRIDE

J. Bayard Clark, repre- sentative
of the Seventh Congressional dis
trict yesterday voted to override
President Humans veto of the
Case strike control bill, according
to The Stars Washington CORE
spondent.
Speaking of the Presidents veto
message, Rep. Clark said the
message seemed to stress the ne
cessity for further study of the
whole subject of labor-manage-
ment relationships with a view to
permanent legislation.
my feeling is that we all want
to be fair to every interest con-
cecned, but it seems to me this
problem has been knocking at our
door long enough and loud enough
for us to. see and understand il
well enough to pass legislation
Clark said.
CAS- our country advances and
becomes more highly industriali-
zed, balanced permanent legisla-
ton will be increased" the solon
predicted.

"Men cannot be forced in a

He made these other points
against the measure:

2. "Strikes against private en-
ployers cannot be ended by legis-

the man who hit himself over the
head $50 times with a hammer,
you must be Injured to the sensa-
ton. 1t may even be that you find
a certain pleasure in giving your
self this mental flogging every
morning.
In grateful response to your long
suffering liberation we now present
you, in the handwriting of Mrs.
Virginia (tJennie'') Farr Marine,
the indisputable evidence that
horse-drawn trolleys once trundled
along these streets.
TRACK-SPRUNG TRAM - 1.-THE
horse-cars of the 1870's-They were
better than none at all. Even if we
did have to wait a while when one
jumped off the track, and the
driver would have to ask the as
sistance of passengers to help get
it back on again, we would get to
our destination and back home
some time that day-if it didn't
rain"
This, we contend strongly. is in
disputable evidence. If someone
had simply said, Sure, there used
to be horse-drawn streetcars in Will
mington-I rode on them myself"
we might be inclined to doubt it.
But the picture of Mrs. Marine
and her fellow passengers leaping
from the track-sprung tram, put
ting a collective shoulder to the
wheel, and hosting the car back
onto the track by sheer neighborly
force, is evidence enough to sway
even the most Thomasonian of
doubters.
HECTIC BUT HAPPY - There
are, however, two things in Mrs.
Marines statement which puzzle
US. First, she makes no mention of
who tended the horse while the
folks we're boosting the car back
onto the track. 1t must have made
the horse somewhat nervous ard
out-of-sorts to have his vehicle be-
have that way, and, consequently,
it must have taken a gentle but
firm hand to assure old Dobbin that
everything would come out-an right
and that he'd get an extra-bag OF
oats for standing patiently by while
his vehicle was being righted.
Second, we wonder what Mrs.
Marine means when she says I'VE
would get to our destination and
back home some time that day-if
it didn't rain"
The only answer we can figure
out is that the trolleys had no roofs
and the passengers no umbrellas.
And when it rained the passengers
simply fled into the nearest shelter.
In that case. we're still worried
about the horse. Horses don't like
to get rained on any more than
people do, but at the same time
they must have been too big for tine
shelter.
Or were there plenty of barns
along Wilmington's streets back IN
those hectic but happy days?

Papertrooper Drive
For Hospital Ward
Falls Short Of Goal

The efforts of Washington Paper
troopers to bring in sufficient old
newspapers and magazines to en-
dow a four-bed ward in the new
Children's Hospital fell about one
third short of the goal of $500 with
few returns still to be reported.
Of the schools participating 80
exceeded hteir quotas, based on a
15-pound per capita basis, and one,
Ludlow, finished only pounds
short, but many others were con-
siderably below the desired total.
A number of the schools, already
engaged in the Salvage-an-O Orphan
program, made cash contributions
to the hospital drive and others not
participating in the paper collection
for the hospital also sent checks to
The Star which will be included in
the report at the next meeting Of
the Hospital Campaign Committee
on Thursday.
These included Murch Home and
School Association, $25: Davis PTA,
SIS: w. B. Powell PTA, s61.19;
Hearst PTA, $e768: Mann PTA, $25,
and Westbrook PTA, $62.11. The
Hearst and Westbrook gifts came
out of the paper collection funds of
the schools. Powell in addition to
the cash contribution exceed its
paper quota of 1850 pounds by 1920
pounds.
The schools to exceed their quotas
were as follows.
