WINNIE AND THE SPEED COPS
Continued from page fourteen

you and the boys have joined in a
conspiracy to Illustrate the proper
enforcement of the laws of this
state! Period"
"VinnieT pleadingly. Whats all
this?"
The boy cleared his throat with
difficulty. "All l said was how you
gave me and Sherbert the money for
the business. And about serving the
community. That's all. And how

"Pul-lease, Counsellor" said Mag

Winnie took a peek at his fathers
face. His fathers eyes reminded him
of squirrel he'd once caught IN

lieving. Then Attorney Wyatt looked
at Winnie for a long moment. Am

softly.
WINNIE squirmed. Heck, no, Dad.
Nothing like that"
Attorney Wyatt gazed out the
window, then braced his shoulders
and turned. His demeanor was that
of lonely traveller who faces a wolf

sellor."
"I'm not excited! was never
more calm, more judiciously reason
able! But I'm deeply concerned at
the use of the speed-trap in our city.
1t deals with traffic problems from
a low and sordid viewpoint. 1t
encourages officers - not to prevent
traffic violations - but to use sneak
tactics to build up a big record OF
arrests; whereas their real aim should
be to prevent accidents and incul-
cate respect for the law and the
principles on which the law is based.
But how is it in Sumac? Motorists
are given a clear field to break the
law so that ambushed officers can
bag their fines. It's like making
burglary easy so we can fill the
prisons. D'you know what that is,
gentlemen"
Harms futtered. "Er -"
Its um-American! Besides. it's
inefficient. If your cops really were
interested in public safety. they'd

"Er, un-American!

nor its relationship to the fact that
traffic arrests declined twenty eight
per cent the past week. But l
imagine the Clarion could make
amusing copy out of the lntorma-
ton"
The City Prosecutor and the
MAGISTRATE looked at one another.
There was heavy silence.
Winnie was looking up at his father
in utter alteration.
Then the ultimate ecstasy over
whelmed him as Wyatt surveyed the
cowed and speeches. enemy, took
his son by the hand, and said. "An
right, boys; let's 60. The Prosecutor
prefers not to prefer any charges
today"
THEY were half way home before
Winnie ventured to break the spell.
Finally he asked:
Dad, does this mean it's okay for
Sherbert an me to 60 on with our
business? Serving the community
and earning enough to help out at
homer
Attorney Wyatt looked very
sharply at his offspring. "Well, all.
technically I suppose so. But vaca-
tons almost over. A certain amount
of carefree play is good for growing
boys. So why not just forget the
business between now and school,
eh?"
Suits me. Only what about all
that money we made? We can
amatize back the ten dollars We owe
you and still have slew left. Do
we have to give it back?"
Certainly not. You earned it.
Keep it. And let's try to forget that,
too, shall WEI?
''Okay." Winnie subsidized for the
remainder of the homeward drive.

ard, and said roughly, IAN right,
you two smart alecks. You've had
your fun; now let's talk it over with
the Chief"
HE little courtroom was airless
and hot Winnie, as he and Sherbert
waited in the uncongenial company
of the City Prosecutor and Magis-
trate Harms, sensed an underlying
tension. Like a stick of dynamite,
ready for the match. Presently the
match arrived, in the person of
Attorney Wyatt. His voice resound-
ed in filial outrage from the Police
Chiefs Office across the hall: What
is the meaning of this indignity?'
he demanded. "Where's my boy?
III get a lawyer. No, wait minute;
I'm a lawyer! l demand he be
admitted to bailw
The Chief made soothing noises,
and presently Mr.. Wyatt strobe into
the courtroom and struck an atti-
tude:
my son! My son!
"Hiya. Dad"
What have these monsters done
to you?",
well, gee, they been grilling u.s."
Attorney Wyatt glared at the
others. The Magistrate said, Good
afternoon, Counsellor. We've been
waiting for you"
"Are these lads being arraigned?
What's the charger" demanded
Wyatt.
The City Prosecutor produced the
celebrated cardboard sign and gave
a quick run-through of the plot.
For full minute Attorney Wyatt
stared at the sign and registered
various emotions. Finally he said
weakly, II begin to understand.
Several dawns are breaking. Only"
Section 437 of the Vehicle Code
forbids the use of any unofficial sign,
signal, or device which attempts to
direct or influence the movement of
traffic on the highways" pursued
the Prosecutor. The Magistrate

would cover the present situation"
But it's just boyish prank"
"'ORD1NARILY we'd so consider it
and send the lads home with warn
ing. But" the Prosecutor became
very solemn, there is evidence here
of a more serious crime. Your son
has confessed that you put him up
to it. And the hostilities between you
and the traffic department are we'll

"Huh?"

Mrs. Herbert Bluethenthal, chair
man of the committee for the
Guild Guidance Clinic, announced
that the Ministering Circle, at its
February meeting, voted financial
assistance to the newly organized
clinic.
Mrs. William Dick, a member of
the Board of Trustees OF the circle,
said that in making this contribu-
ton, the group vas following a long
established policy of pioneering in
the field of public health.
She added that since its organiza-
ton in 1888, the Ministering Circle,
then named the Kings Daughters,
had initiated and financed a rest
shelted for children and a public
health nursing service, had equip
ped and maintained a room al
James Walker Memorial hospital,
and had aided many other health
projects.
The Child Guidance Clinic was
established in January of this year
by a group Of public spirited in
dividuals.
Typical examples of the kind Of
problems handled by this clinic
are represented by the following
cases:

ARAB SCRAP DRIVE
Paper Collection To Be

H. M. Roland, superintendent o.
New Hanover county schools, last
night gave his approval to the
scrap paper drive to be sponsored
by the Arab Shrine Sunday, Feb.
Is.
Roland said in a letter to the
committee, "It is most gratifying
for the organizations you represent
to recognize the services Of the
high school band and their indivi-
dual contribution to the city as
well as to the school. I have found
these boys and girls most willing

and time to community affairs.
THE schools along with other
firms have felt the shortage Of
paper. We have not been able to
obtain enough paper for the mini

same hydrogen a t oms. permitted
to join four by four, will give the
heat of one hunored tons Of coal"
An explanation of what takes
place gives us some hint as to
the direction scientists were trav-
cling in their atomic research, re-
gardless Of whether. they claim
they knew their direction, OR not.
One early writer on atomic en-
ergy is quoted:
when two hydrogen atoms
unite, it is a tame affair; when
four are permitted to get together,
the reunion is so riotous !nat a
portion of the very worId-stuff of
which they are created is arnihi-
lated"
During the war years, it is per-
fectly understandable that such
talk was hushed. such future prog
ress was kept secret, for these al
ready had become secrets OF war.
And these scientists were not mill
tary men; they directed their re-
search for the good of mankind.
The Army simply told them to
keep quiet. do their job. and they
would be accredited with saving
mankind.
Their tasks and experiences
were awesome, ~stupendous. Each
day turned into night, followed by
another day more exciting than
the previous. And yet, there could
have been few consequential days
for these men, for each expert
ment was Of such great impor-
lance that it must have taken only
a few successful ones to produce
unbelievable results.
Some of their results have been
recorded for %posterity. but OF
others, perhaps. this generation as
a whole will V know, much
less understand
For each group of hydrogen
atoms harnessed four by four, you
will get a trillion times the energy
that was ever obtained from a like
mass matter under human control
in any furnace or engine or dyna-
mo or device whatsoever, since
the world began" And, mind you,
this was written before other de-
velopments and discoveries of the
atom were made known. Other
atoms have become of greater i'm
portance to us today; other proce-
dures that are understood only by
those men of science who gave
them to us, for better or for worse.
Dare n tamper with such un-
thinkable poWer?" the early pa
pers are quoted. THE strength of
a hundred thousand horses in a
teaspoon! A powerhouse generator
In a tumbler!"
Science knows no bounds; Sc
crets of the universe that are too
awesome to believe may be known
in our generation, and we may not
believe them until it becomes nee
essary. War made the atomic
bomb necessary.

In the early hours of the morn
ing when the rest of Wilmington is
asleep the City Wholesale market
like markets over the country
becomes a beehive of activity.
Many hours before the sun starts
to come over the horizon, the
early-risers in the country start
large produce trucks on their way
into the city carrying vegetables
and other products.
From down Florida way large
trucks move over a smooth high
way bringing fruits and fresh veg.

The market place, for many
years in every country, has served

Farmers and truck drivers,

A large truck load of fruits and
vegetables may be displayed at

therefore ruin the higher price. In
the long run he sometimes ruins

Saturday is the biggest day
when a buyer may buy anything

WIN what is now o
equipment, and test tubes that are
no longer necessary. why, the
hydrogen in any teaspoonful of
water will generate 100, 900 kilo-
watt hours of electrical energy, or
100, 900 horse : power!" was the
amazing announcement of one
scientist. Another came up with
something that sounded like the
mythical utterances of a comic
named Buck Rogers: "And any
single drop of the water, if its
hydrogen we're recklessly made
into helium all at once, would ex-
plode with the force of a two
pound stick Of DYNAMITE
Perhaps this was the first such
statement that sounded akin TO the
atomic bomb, but the following
statement sums up the thoughts OF
many who possibly feared the fu-
ture of what was to come. Per-
haps these men foresaw an atomic
war. and were afraid to speak too
loudly. but here is what was quot
ed in one thesis entitled Tapping
Atomic Energy "A Fantasy by
Henry Smith Williams:
Incredible? Yet perfectly true.
And there isn't any catch in it,
either. They hydrogen-helium trick
is simply waiting for someone to
turn it."
Early scientists poked abou'
their test tubes and apparatus ano
finally learned to split the atom.
They crystal-gazed into a glass Of
water, staring at what was no less
actual because of its invisibility to
the naked eye BY roughly calcu-
lating. guessing, they were able to
estimate that an ordinary tumbler
of drinking water was powerful
stuff, containing approximately
20, 900, 600, 900, 900, 900. 900, 600
900, hydrogen atoms. They con-
tended that if these hydrogen
atoms were made into helium,
the energy resulting would have
the effective heating power of
4,80 tons of coal.
Yes, those scientists even saw
the Leviathan sailing across the
Atlantic under full speed upon the
contents of a teaspoonful of water.
The principal of the atomic
bomb was being worked out be-
fore their very eyes. Reientlessly
searching for a means of harness
ing the atom for practical pur-
poses-but, who are we Americans
to say that the atomic bomb was
not for practical reasons early
atomic scientists knew that BY re-
leasing hydrogen atoms from their
oxygen bondage, they were &C
comprising only a minor step
toward their ultimate goal. They
realized that they must make the
atoms unite four by four, as the
process is described in earlier
writings. For hydrogen atoms in a
