When Ignorance Is Bliss
It's No Fun To Find Out
BY PHIL WRIGHT
Star staff Writer

tbs almost like writing an obit-
uary and having it turn out to be
your own.
In the routine duty of covering
my news beat Wednesday night,
I took an item off the police blot
ter about Ford, parked on the
south side of Chestnut street be-
tween Front and Water, taking
off, driverless from its moorings,
backing all the way across the
street and banging into an Olds-
mobile parked on the north side OF
Chestnut.
Til item rated three or four lines
in the CITY Briefs column OF the
Star and that seemed all there was
to it. Just one of those things
that happen every day in the gen
eral run Of the news. But:
When I went to my Ford, OF 50
ancient vintage I call her Grand
mother Lizzie, to drive home early
Thursday morning, there was 9
penciled note on the steering wheel
requesting that the owner Of said
vehicle call by the police depart
ment about an accident that had
happened.
Yes, you guessed it. It was my
Ford that had banged into the
Oldsmobile. Not only that, it had
been parked on Chestnut by my
city editor who had borrowed il
for a short trip. And the Oldsmo
bile into which it had banged is
owned by Gregg O'Neal Of the
Star-News composing room.
Now, all we have to do is to fig
ure out who has to pay whom for
what.
You never can tell when the hum
drums will get you if you don't
watch out.

The Mercury coupe in which they

of a Plymouth car driven by Ray
mond Hansley, Negro, of Hamp-
stead at 1922 last night, practi-
cally demolishing the Plymouth
and doing considerable damage
to the Strickland car, officers said.
Two Negro men were riding with
Hansley at the time of the impact.
Both cars. were reported to have
skidded over 174 #. down the high.
way before the Strickland car left
the road, crossed ditch and stop
ped about Is #. over in a field.

next several months due to the

Counties included in the area
are New Hanover, Fender, Column

922 men have been discharged and
have reported to their respective
boards. With an additional 20 per

have failed to report, the figure is
closer to $500 men, Matthews said.
Figures from the various counties
show New Hanover board No. :
with 6,037 draftees and 1878 re-

returned: Columbus, 5000 selectees
as against approximately 2,59o dis

1,058 men drafted and 444 dis
