While the average community in
the United States is greeting the
year 1947 as one of promise, it is

bring to an end a 12-month period
of promises.
But in the first, fresh bloom of

Quick Action FolIows
Hit And Run Case Here

Wilmington police, who have
been faced with the problem of
solving a series of petty thefts
taking place throughout the scity
during the past several weeks, now
have a new, and in a way, worse
plague to contend with.
The latest %upcropping of crime
centers about hit and run drivers,
with at least n participant in the
accidents usually fleeing from the
scene of the crime without stop
ping.
The latest hit and run case, how
ever, tends to furnish proof that
police, together with members OF
the state highway patrol, are
cracking down with a vengeance.
For, within less than II hours
after he had crashed into a a
driven by r. S. Matthews, Jr., at
8 o'clock Friday night, Frank
Witherspoon, Castle Hayne Negro,
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-01-06

had been arrested, tried and SEN
fenced.
This quick action came about in
this way:
J. w. Stewart of Wilmington, who
was driving near the scene of the
accident on Princess street, saw
the crash and when n car sped
off without stopping, he gave chase.
He lost the car in traffic but not
before he had obtained the license
number of the auto.
Stewart then informed city police
who broadcast a lookout warning
and as an added precaution notifi-
ed the highway patrol.
Within an hour after the crash,
Patrolman R. C. Duncan had ar
rested Witherspoon and lodged him
in Jail awaiting trial.
Came Saturday morning Wither-
spoon appeared before Judge H.
Winfield Smith and was ordered to
pay a fine of $50 plus court costs
and make complete restitution to
Matthews for the damage to his
car. If this had not been complied
with in ten days, a six-months Jail
term would begin.
In addition, a two-year good-be-
havior stipulation was included in
the sentence.

Dealers Just As Anxious
ForNew Goods AS Buyers

F., done" for an unusually good per
Torrance.
Ever since last year about this
time, which was just at the be-
ginning of the real and recogniz-
able postwar period, residents OF
every town and city in the nation
have been faithfully and hopefully
visiting their automobile, refrigera-
tor, and electric-stove dealer. halt
expecting to receive word that the
item of their fondest dreams has
finally arrived and can be install
ed at their convenience.
Usually the tale Of woe poured
into your doubling ears has been
one such as I'VE are very sorry,
but We have been promised, and
consequently expect, a shipment by
the first of the month"
And the SOLDERING fact is that these
same dealers, who alphabetically
greet you with this excuse, or bet
ter reason, are telling you the
exact truth to their best knowledge.
1t is more than probable that a
shipment of whatever you wish has
been promised. And that shipment
is expected to arrive around the
first of the month. Within his heart
your dealer may know better, but
happy in the optimism which
characterizes the average Ameri-
can, he inadvertently pulls the
wool over his own eyes and al
lows himself to feel confident that
all will be well, come that hoped.
for first of the month. He is nc
doubt contemplating that joyous
moment when, in answer to your
thrice-weekly question, he can say
Yes sir. it has just arrived"
But somehow that first OF the
month moves slowly by. That same
dealer, increasingly vexed at not
receiving word of the arrival Of
your chosen item, no doubt lies
awake at night trying to think oil
a compromising answer suitable tc
the customer whose name is or
the cherished list and who up &c
the moment has been pacified
with promises of early delivery.
But this is not the end. The deal.
er must keep in mind the reputa.
ton OF the maker of his product
when dreaming-up this important
answer. He must remember thai
within a couple of years he will
have more items on hand than he
can rid himself of. He must re.
member to keep this thought ever
before him because he dare not
Say anything about the manufacture
er which might influence the pros
pective customer in the wrong way.
AS if these thoughts we're not
enough, he must remember to
be fair and recognize that the
manufacturer has problems of a
like nature as concerns material
shortages and associated ills.
So the dealer of today should
not be criticized. He should not be
looked upon as a bearer of bad
tidings.
Rather, he should be looked upon
with sympathy literally sprinkled
with envy. 1t is unlikely that the
average customer could do hall as
well toward pacifying a public
literally starved for bright. shiny
postwar things.
The dealers is a hard task.
