sponsible organization to take over

pressed its wiTlingess to assume

IT'S STILL WINTER
so DEPUTY TAILOR
WANTS FEDORA BACK

N. ]. Calder, one of the New
Hanover county jailers, whose
hat was misplaced the other
day as he listed his taxes, is
looking for a head that fits his
hat.
So, if you're the person who
took the wrong hat or stole
Calder's hat, and if you're
wearing the hat and happen to
drop around to the local bas-
ton, you are liable for a long
siege of hard luck, and pos
sible prosecution.
AS Calder started to list his
taxes, being a gentleman in the
presence of ladies in the hal
lowed halls of the court house,
he removed his headdress, and
and when he looked for it, it
was gone.

rings were operating in North
Carolina, and that stolen license
plates were being put on ''hot"
