BY JACK O'BRIAN

NEW YORK - tR-I was slipping
something tall and cool while sitting
beside pool at a Connecticut party
few days ago, and Ed Mccullough,
managing editor of the Stamford
Advocate, was telling me of the days
when Burgess Meredith-now known
for a good many theatrical things
among which is his acquisition Of
Paulette Goddard as a wife-was
running about the Connecticut
countryside chasing after news for
Eds estimable publication.
Burgess was quite fellow" said
Ed. HE covered nearby Darien for
us for a while, and finally quit. The
separation wasn't entirely unhappy
for anyone concerned, considering
an incident in which he was not en-
tirely a reporting hero.
Meredith went off one day to
cover a story, which turned out to
be rather freakish suicide. The
deceased had put together Rube
Goldberg contraption with levers
and rope, a devilishly complex af
fair, and having constructed it, he
sat down. pulled string and was
blown practically to Rhode Island.
ut was little ghoulish, but it was
news, and Buzz was on the spot in a
hurry, gathered every detail of the
suicide, including the dimensions
of the rope, the pressure of the lev
erage, the type of gun, the gauge of
the ammunition, every macabre in
cident which could be captured by

Smell Brothers May Join Port City
Net Teams After College Triumphs
RANKING STARS
AT CITADEL DUE
HOME THIS SUMMER

The male division OF the Will
mington tennis team, sadly in
need of some added strength, may
soon get more than it can logical
ly hope for when the two top
ranking meters of The Citadel
come home this summer.
Paul and Tom Smell, Whining
ton natives, now resting after
completing a rigorous tennis sche-
dule this season at The Citadel,
where as No. l and No. 2 players
they paced their alma mater to
seven WINS, and shone in defeat
when the Charleston school went
under six times, may lend their
wicked racquet welding powers
to the Port City meters in the
Eastern Carolina Tennis associa-
ton, as soon as the college term
closes.
The Smell brothers. net careers
20 back to high school days when
thew were members of the famed
New Hanover High school squad
that won the state crown so mary
times it got monotonous. Both
lads picked up the savvy OF the
courts under the able leadership
of Glen Blomme, who Is quietly
proud to e his ex-pupils winning
laurels as sophomores at The Cit
adel. Blomme chooses the young
er Smell. Tom, as the better play
err of the pair, but Tom has got to
be plenty hot to defeat his broth
err. At the school in Charleston the
campus coaches say Paul is the
more consistent, while Tom is an
in-and-outer, blowing hot and sold
on different days.
Paul won his letter as a fresh
man last year, and repeated this
season, while the younger Will
mingtonian missed his award last
season due to an injury. During
the 1947 net wars, however. Tom
was the No. / player, and he has
definitely said he will join the
ranks of the local racqueteers,
with Paul reserving his decision
until later.
Both lads swept singles honors
in clashes with Wake Forest,
North Carolina State, Clemson,
Furman, Newberry, University OF
South Carolina. and the College of
Charleston, and when the Smell
family teamed up as a doubles
pair, they were invincible.
At the Southern Conference
tournament though, it was all Will
liam and Mary, a college which
Paul Smell says has the greatest
tennis team in the country.
Toms greatest victory this sea-
son came over Bud Florence, Col
lege of Charleston star, who was
a former state title-holder of
South Carolina. Tom whipped the
colorful Florence easily, gaining
revenge for an earlier defeat by
his team at the hands OF
Florence's mates.
According to his brother, Tom
would follow professional tennis if
he would give in to his most para
mount desire, but both boys are
likely to get into engineering work
after the manner of their dad,
Paul. Sr., dredging expert at the
Wilmington District Corps of En-
gineers, who has won himself en-
gineering honors in the same fash
ion his sons have copied tennis
honors at The Citadel.
Before this happens, however,
the name Of Smell may soon be
aiding the Wilmington net squad
in grabbing some ECTA
triumphs.

Gore needs help. Bob Edwards

knowledge, discipline, courage
and character are the four essen.
tials necessary to carry this ma.
ton successfully through this
atomic age.
So declared Walter Anderson Of
Raleigh, director of the state bu'
reau of investigation, at a Dads
and Sons banquet last night at
st. Pauls Evangelical Lutheran
church honoring Rev. Edwin F..
Keever, retired church pastor and
widely known North Carolina reli'
gious leader, upon his 84th birth
day.
Asserting this world is living
through the greatest scientific
period in history" MI. Anderson
said that through knowledge we
must learn how to live and how
to work together as churchmen,
as businessmen and do things to-
gether."
"Never has there been a time
when we need knowledge so bad
ly." the speaker said. 1--WE must
start over again in learning"
He added that we have lost sight
of living as neighbors and fami-
lies and that only when we learn
to live as those two groups a we
learn to live together as nations.
Discipline Needed
Discipline is needed, averred the
director, because "discipline is
training" He pointed out thai
there are today seven million per
sons in this nation on the march
in crime because of the lack OF
discipline.
The need of courage is necessary
because courage brings convlc-
ton of things essential to life"
