Nabbed For Overcharge

Because some Wilmington taxi driv-
ers are observing statutes affecting
their business and go out of their way
to be helpful and accommodating to the
public they serve, they above all others
should be grateful for the police raid
which bagged sixteen men operating
public vehicles, chiefly for overcharg-
ing patrons.
This offense is too common, Offend
ers obviously believing they can collect
excessive fares from strangers and get
away with it because their passengers
do not know the established rates and
even If they do are reluctant to take
the trouble to report the offense.
If they were required to display in
PLAIN sight a card showing the rates
by zones in the passenger compartment
of their taxis they would not dare be so
brazen in their pilfering.
Certainly the police should make ex-
amples of the group taken into custody
Saturday. Anything less than the Sc
verest punishment provided by law
would be inadequate.
And while the police are bearing
down on these offenders they are to be
encouraged to teach all ill-mannered
taxi drivers the value of courtesy in
traffic. Too many of them crowd civil
ian drivers and usurp positions in the
traffic stream to which they have no
right. Too many lump the light" at
signal intersections. Too many seem
to assume that they alone have right
OF way in tight traffic. Too many use
their horns in violation of the "no horn
rule.
Arrests among this class of violators
would not be amiss. It would be another
asset for Wilmingtonians concerned
for the betterment and development O.
the city to be able to state that it hal

efficiency and more law-abiding thar

New Muscadines

DR.. Charles T. Dearing, North
Cardinals own Burbank, has developed
fifteen new varieties of muscadine
grapes, following experimentation
which started in 1905.
More than layman is needed to
describe the peculiarities of each, or
even the eccentricities, but no layman
can fail to realize that the coastal re-
gion is the richer for Doctor bearings s
talent, which had previously produced
the Dearing berry and the Eleanor
Roosevelt strawberry.
What impresses the Star particu-
larly is that he has given the new va
rieties names familiar in North Caro-
lima, several of them being the names
of counties, some of towns and one of
special interest to Wilmingtonians, the
Cape Fear.
Not all the varieties are adapted to
all soils or climatic conditions of the
coastal area. Further experiments
must be conducted to determine which
will do best in the southern muscadine
region, but the state test farm at Will
lard is prepared to give all applicants
what information it has compiled and
cuttings may be had by writing direct
to Doctor Dearing, care the Coastal

BY JOHN SKIES

It isn't divulging any secret of
the craft to tell you that we of
the trade have to dig up sources,
as we call them, in order to pick
up items to pass along to you.
Therefore, I want to tell you
that I am right happy in finding
a source in Major w. N. Harris
of here.
Major Harris became a source
accidentally and it all goes back
to that Old Shell Road into whose
past our staff has been delving
rather meticulously and exhaus'
lively. During our delving Major
Harris telephoned me.
20. Anything you want to know
about Wilmington's and New Han
over county's past all you have to
do is call on me-" he told me. "If
1 don't know from personal exper.
ience I can tell you how to 60
about finding what you want to
know"
It seems that Major Harris is
now going on 80, which probably
makes him one Of the towns oldest
inhabitants. What's more, he car
ries on each day with the vigor
of man some 20 Or more years
younger. He still attends to his
duties as city-county tax lister
every day and is hardly, if ever,
ill.
Just by way OF setting us straight
I really can't remember how
much of the Old Shell Roads past
we have covered we have covered
so much - Major Harris, starting
out with the first bits of lore he's
going to tell us about in the days
to come, said the Old Shell Road
was started in 1874 and finished
in 1875.
He got it into his head to call me
when he read an item herein about
the charter members of the Will
mington Turnpike company, the
Turnpike being the Old Shell Road.
1t turns out that John A. Sanders,
whom I named among the first
of these charter members, was
Major Harris grandfather.
furthermore, Major Harris
told me over the phone, Il per-
sonally knew just about all that
long list of names you printed as
being charter members of that
company. A large part of the road
happened to go through land owned
by my grandfather, John A. San

Bridge Rammed

When the Nicaragua Victory, Vic
tory ship, dragged anchor Sunday after
noon and crashed into the Cooper river
bridge at Charleston, the wonder was
that heavy toll of lives was not taken.
Sunday afternoon traffic on the bridge
is ordinarily heavy, particularly at this
season when southbound tourists are
pouring Floridaward. The collision must
have come during one of those unac-
countable lulls in traffic which are so
noticeable on main travelled routes.
As it is, at this writing, there is fear
that at least one car went through the
gap in the bridge. Search for it or other
vehicles is handicapped by the. tangled
mass of steel and concrete which pre-
vents both tugs and divers from ex-
aiming the underwriters.
Only the intervention of merciful
Providence prevented the accident from
becoming holocaust.
There will be an exhaustive investi-
CATION, naturally, to determine not so
much the accidents cause, gale squalls
and heavy ebb tide having accounted
for that, but what could have been done
to anchor the drifting ship securely
! enough to hold its nooring.

parties which spent Sunday night in

plain oyster shells. 1t was paved
with whole oysters. The oysters
were just dug from the beds in the
sound and hauled in to the road

Ford VS.. B0wles

In the Bowles-F Ford controversy con-
corning the price to be charged for the
latter's automobiles, Mr.. Ford seems to
have the better of the argument. AT
least he denies having requested So
per cent advance in ceiling prices tor
his postwar models, and declares Mr..
Bowles' testimony gives the impression
that eve had secretly applied for in
creases in existing ceiling prices" Ac-
tually, he says, in a telegram to the
House Banking Committees chairman,
Representative Spence, 1--WE have ap-
piled for no price relief on any of our
cars since OPA ceilings have been es-
tablished."
Until Mr.. Bowles produces the doc
umentary evidence he claims to possess
showing that Ford did make the re-
quest, Mr.. Ford has an edge on the new
stabilizer.
The New York Times, which claims
there is something more important in
the situation than whether Mr.. Bowles'
recollection is more accurate than Mr..
Ford's, questions if there is any good
reason for the government at this time
to be trying to fix the price OF such
items as automobiles at all.
The Times adds:
"Price-fixing has, at best, even for
basic cost-of-living items, only tran
sitional and secondary role to play in
combating initiation. The real remedies
are to stop increasing the supply of
money and bank credit and to encourage
the output of goods. If we look at the
problem from this standpoint, the ques-
tion may be raised whether OPA did
not make major error in trying to fix
prices on items that had been out of
production during the war. The weight
of evidence is that unrealistic price-fix-
ing and delays in price-fixing have been
among the most important contributory
factors in the lag in reconversion and
the return to full production. They have
also been factor in bringing on strikes
or prolonging strikes; for they have
left employers in the dark concerning
how great wage increase they could
afford to grant"
And it concludes:
Surely here is at least one field in
which buyers and consumers acting in
dividually can now be trusted to make
their own decisions"
Which brings us back to the old law
of supply and demand, which functioned
with more or less success for centuries
before the Office of Price Administra-
ton was dreamed of.
