Except for his Army career, Gen
Omar N. Bradley has held only one
job in his life. That was for one
year with the Wabash Railroad.
The four-star general participated
in a ceremony yesterday that car
ried him back 81 years to those days
of his first job.
The son of a widow, he went tc
work in the yard gang of the Wa
bash terminal at Moberly, Mo-, in
1910, soon after he was graduated
from high school. Later, he was
made a helper in the locomotive
shop. He was II years old and made
II cents an hour
The next year, he became inter-
ested in examinations for West
Point that were to be held in st
Louis, he recalled yesterday, and be-
gan studying nights for the tests. A
shop foreman gave him a railroad
pass to defray expenses for the trip
He took the exams and the rest is
history.

about long distance christening OF

move a robot arm, which in TURN was
to crack a bottle of champagne
against the side of the train.
With Gen. Bradley during the

BARRIERS PREPARE
FOR STATE MEET
TO BE HELD SEPT.

The New Hanover chapter OF the
Association of Master BARRIERS in
their regular meeting last night
made tentative plans for tie state
convention, which will be held at
Carolina Beach, September IL.
Charles P. Murray, president
of the local association, said from
300 to 500 delegates r expected
to attend the tWo-day convention.
In tracing the history Of the
local association, Murray said the
local now has a membership of
10. He said that the local chapter
hoped to have a 100 percent mem
bership in New Hanover county
before the convention opened.
In a brief talk at the meeting
Murray pointed out it was the aim
Of the Master BARRIERS associa-
ton to have more modern shops
equipped with the latest santa
ton methods possible.
"The state law requires that all
barber shops, city and country,
adhere to the rules Of sanitation"
Murray said as he encouraged
the members to obey the state
sanitation laws.

To Locate Shrimp
Trawling Grounds Slated

the work will consist almost entire
" in searching for and chart
ing areas a considerable distance
offshore. These areas having clear
bottoms in which the travis may
be dragged without being torn to
pieces by instructions. Each
shrimping eason has been seeing
an enormous loss to the fishermen
at Southport through their nets be-
ing torn up.
This loss has been increasing
yearly with the use of larger and
more powerful boats that range
far offshore. Often these big boats
will strike a level or unobstructed
bottom and bring in a fine catch
of shrimp, the next day they may
return to the same locality, but
without charts or anything on
which they can get the range. they
put their travis down on sunken
logs or rocks and never get 1t up
again.
If the survey succeeds in locat-
ing and marks new grounds 1t Will
both greatly increase the produc-
ton and at the same time will
save enormously from torn and
damaged nets. 1t makes little dit
ference how far offshore these
grounds may be. The big traWlers
now operating here have icing
and storage facilities that permit
them to go out and stay out for a
week. If such time is necessary to
load up.
