Old Man Shark
Is FOiled Again

William Wells, secretary of the
Milford Building and Loan Associa-
tiOn, and Robert Fisher, manager
of MilfOrd's fertilizer plant, had
narrowing experience last Satur-
day in the Delaware Bay when
their small boat was .imperiled by
a large sharn.
The two men had gone some
miles off shore and were having
very good luck in fishing with hook
and lines.
They had placed their catch in
a grass bag and hung it in the
water ever the side of the boat.
Apparently attracted by the bag
of fish, a huge shark suddenly
headed at high speed for their
small boat.
Mr.. Wells endeavOred to pull up
the anchor, but found it fast in the
mud. In the meantime the shark
had reached the boat. It made a
grab for the fish, but Mr.. Fisher
pulled them into the boat just as
the shark snapped its jaws closed.
Fearing that the shark would at
tack the boot, they succeeded in
freeing the anchor, and finally get
ing the motor started after once
flooding it in their haste. Once
under way they hurried to shore.
They estimated the shark was
about seven feet long.

For War Threat

STOCKHOLM by airmail
No propaganda is needed to
bring about will for peace among
the peoples of the world. Prime
Minister Tage Erlander said in an
address i'm KarIstad.
The increase in international
tension which is due to the COM
munistic aggression in South Ko-
rea, he continued, has further
strengthened the desire Of the peo-
pies to find ways to a permanent
and just peace. when the great
democracies are forced to extend
the period of military service to
raise taxes, and to earmark
great many important commodi-
ties for armament purposes then
the peoples naturally become more
responsive to a propaganda which
stresses peace and disarmament.
But the cause of peace will not be
furthered if the love of peace ex-
presses itself only in streams of
words. If Russia accepted an es-
sential reduction in her war re-
paration demands ON Austria, and
thus enabled a peace settlement
with Austria, this action would be
worth more than many hundred
millions of signatures on the So
called Stockholm peace appeal.
Still more important would it be
if Germany We're given a chance
to carry out a nationwide cleo
ton under safe democratic guar
antees and if a basis for stabili-
cation could be established in Ger
many"
