Despite Handicap
sHv STANLEY BAITZ


22-year-old technician, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Hersh-
owitz, 4120 Nineteenth street
Me-, amazes co-workers with
his deftness as he repairs and
installs airplane and crash
boat radios.
One hard-bitten stah SER
geant who has worked with
Mr.. Hershowitz for many
months shakes his head in
awe and murmurs. THAT
guys q wizard" Other tech
nicians about the post say
pretty much the same thing.
Mr.. Hershowitz Is self
trained; he never attended
radio school. Il just learned
from what everybody told
me-" he explains.
He became Interested In
radio while attending the
Maryland School for the
Blind in 1894. He. was in
duced to tinker at 1t by one Of
his teachers. Now he, too, is
a radio ham," His station Is
W3HQG, which he built him
self.
Three months after gradu-
ating from Mckinley High
School in June, 1912, he went
to Boiling Field and asked for
a job In the radio shop.
Turned down, he asked II he
could .,"hang around and
learn" There was no objec-
ton. Within q month, he had
been hired. =.
Mr.. Hershowitz Is a sort of
trouble shooter" who Is
sometimes called ON to lend q
hand when the repair prob
lem stumps another mechanic.
Most mechanics use q kit
load of instruments to check
q receiver: Mr.. Hershowitz
does it simply by listening to
background noises. He recog-
nizes both planes and people
by sound.
In the repair shop, Mr..
Hershowitz Is completely Or
tented and gets about easily.
When called ON go outdoors
on q job. he Is led to the plane
by q co-worker. From there
on. he is thoroughly at home.
Mr.. Hershowitz had his first
flight last year. when he went
to Seattle, Wash, to visit q
radio ham with whom he had
been talking on the air for
months. He made the trip
alone without difhculty and
spent q month.
The crash-boats ON which
Mr.. Hershowitz works are
used when q plane falls into
the Potomac. He knows per-
fectly the route by automobile
from the repair shop to the
waterfront, but likes to startle
visitors by pointing out the
landmarks along the way.
There's q coal pile on the
right. After we cross the
railroad tracks. take the first
road on the right. The

ty Auditor Says

dications today pointed to rec
ord tax collections of $125, 900

They were all alarmed now,
and anxious.
Greg said slowly, "Norah and
l took her to the train. We saw
her Off"
What train? Where was it
going?" demanded Martin,
speaking for the first time.
Greg looked at him as though
only now remembering that he
was present.
Atlanta" he answered
quickly. "She had to 60 to At
lanta as the first stage of her
trip to Maine. This is an out
of-the-way spot; no matter
where you want to 60, you have
to go to Atlanta as a starting
point"
when did she leave?" Mar
tin was suddenly in authority.
Greg gave him the date and
the train time.
Almost a month ago. It's 60
ing to be rather a problem"
said Martin mildly. cpl get in
touch with the police"
LISA gave a small, stricken
scream.
Police? My baby!" she wall
ed.
Greg looked at her with cold,
u%nfriendly eyes.
IF you'd betrayed just half
this much concern about her
while she was growing up, it
might have been more to the
point" he reminded her CURLY.

bringing up 3 daughter would
be so expensive"
SIS this true, Liss? That you
wrote Gail and sent her bills
for me to pay?" asked Charles
slowly.
"Only after Gail had written
her that you had a few measly
doll~rs in the bank, remem-
ber," Greg cut in.
"That's not true!" LISA said
sharply. "She wrote me soon
after she came here and told
me how desperately poor
Charles was and that it would
be out of the question for him
to make her an allowance. I
didn't believe he was that hard
up. But the child said she was
happy and enjoying herself, and
I saw no reason for changing
our summer plans. But I def
nitely did not know, from any
letter of hers, that Charles had
money in the bank. Those bills
were rather annoying and I
simply saw no reason why she
should not hand them over to
him and have him pay them"
Greg was staring at her hard,
his jaw set grimly.
"And there was no collision
between you? She had nothing
to do with your sudden idea
that Uncle Charles should pay
those bi1ls?' You didn't know
that he had tried to give the
money to her for a wedding
present and I wouldn't let her
accept it," he demanded sharp
ly.
Certainly not!" LISA was
icily indignant. Though I can't
see what right you would have
to prevent her accepting a we'd
ding present from her father"

wide as his memory went
swiftly back over that bitter
scene with Gail at the mail
box: how he had refused to lis
ten to any explanation she could
make; how he had condemned
her without a. vestige of a trial.
He was sick now, remembering
her white face and her plead
ing, tormented eyes.
Charles said after a moment,
$50 that was why she went
az -ay - because you two had
quarreled and she could see no
way to clear things up"
"But where did she go?"
walled LISA. "That's what's
important now. Did she have
any money? But of course. she
must have"
eff you didn't send her
any" Greg began.
"Don't be silly - how could

ly, and did not catch the odd,
almost startled glance that
Martin gave her.
"Then she couldn't have had
much" said Greg, worried and
uneasy. "Unless she wired
some of her friends"
"She wouldn't do that-she'd
starve first" said LISA sharp
ly, and suddenly her eyes filled
with tears and she caught her
breath on a little sob. my poor
baby!"

But What Do You Know
About Speight;s Canal

of Shallotte river, near Shallotte.
From there the waters Were to
trickle down into the Atlantic.
Possibly to prevent it from drying
up. Another possibility, the loH-
cal one, was that this canal was
to convert to agricultural pF-
poses thousands of acres Of rich
Brunswick county lowlands.
The ditch, canal to call it by its
proper name, is still known as
Speight's Canal. Seems like there
was a governor of that name in
North Carolina before the Civil
war. Certainly it must have been
some one of the financial proper
tons of a governor to essay the
digging of a 20 mile canal with
nothing but the shovels of slave
labo-ers.
The straight stretches and built
up banks of the Speight's Canal
still stand out as undisputable evil
denc that somebody dug the thing.
The many miles of the big ditch
attest to the fact that the diggers
must have been numerous, that
they worked faster than the WPA
and at the same time were on
the job for years.
In fact, it is said that they were
still digging Speight's Canal when
the Civil wa~ broke out. Slave
labor then ceased to be available
and work on the canal stopped and
never was resumed.
Bill Holmes of Shallotte. has a
wealth of both transformation and
actual fact about things in Bruins
wick county that nobody else yer
heard tell of. Bill was, accord
ingly, interviewed about Speight's
Canal.
AS soon as l have time I will
write you the history of Speight's
Canal said Bill. Just about that
time the bus came in and the re-
porter took off without trying to
worm anything further out OF Bill,
for the time being, about Speight's
| Canal.
But that plagued ditch won't
keep itself off of our mind. Just
who the Sam Hill was Speight?
How'd he come to get the idea of
digging the ditch? How long, how
deep, how wide was it to be when
completed? How many men did he
have working on it and how many
years did they work. These and
various other details, all backed
up by a question mark, have got
this reporter worried.
We dislike being worried. We
are worried about this plagued
| ditch. Nobody had any business
mentioning it to us without being
ready to tell us all about it.
Bill apparently will be ready,
as Don as he gets time. What
worries us is when will he have
time? And will he have all OF
the little details ready? Or must
we wait and worry some more ur-
til somebody else comes along
with additional facts aoout
Speight's Canal?
The ditch was obviously intend
ed to drain Juniper Creek. Juniper
Creek is still undrained. Unless
Bill or some one comes to our
rescue and tells us all about the
Speight's Canal, pretty soon, we
will be tempted to 60 and jump
Into Juniper Creek from worry.
That is unless we have pre-
viously made arrangements to go
fishing with some n to the op-
perfume time.

The Hartford Sepian s, last years champions of the North End, are again regaining their form with a view toward an- nexing the crown of the North End and are pointing toward a hoped for encounter with the Trojans.,
 The Sepians flashing their razzle dazzle ball had a dogged fight all the way against a tall New Haven team, with George Fitch and Gordon covering the rebounds for them and Joe Grievous and Jimmy Black for the Sepians.
 In the second half, the Se- plans found the range with the Ware Brothers and Johnson off setting the shooting of Taylor for New Haven. Final score, 37-33.
