Frank Foley, Is, was cited in
to court after being hit by an au-

Common Plea Judge Don R.
Thomas found himself in "hot-
water'' during the trial of the rape
case when he warned one of the
jurers about talking to an at
torney during the morning recess.
The jurer had asked a question
regarding the trial. The judge
warned the member not to discuss
the case to anyone, and when in
need of information to ask the
court. He pointed out that such
practice could cause a mistrial.
And then came one of the
jurors who told. the judge, all we
want Judge is for you to talk a
little louder, and then we won't
have to ask question in the half.

Court as we'll as the audience who

Bullfrog Is Neither Fish
Nor Fowl But Is
Protected BY Law

The state law of Virginia does
not classify the bullfrog as either
fish, fowl or wild animal, and it
has always been moot question
as to whether presons could hunt
the bullfrog on the lands and
waters of another without hunt
ing and fishing license or not.
That question seems to have
been settled by the attorney gen.
eral of Virginia this week when
he said, in answer to an inquiry
from trial justice R S Wright
of Woodstock, that in his opinion
the bullfrog can't be gigged, shot
or otherwise hunted without a
hunting and fishing license.
The opinion was based on sew
eral sections of the Virginia code.
In the absence of legislative de}-
initions to the contrary, he said a
bullfrog must be considered as q
wild animal" in the meaning of
the code.
Citing various code sections
and ruling of the state supreme
court, the attorney general sum
med up his findings thus:
"The question to be asked III
determining the necessity of OBJ
tanning hunting license, not on
ly from strictly legal stand
point but also from a practical
standpoint of law enforcement, is
not what type of wild animals a
person is hunting but how he Is
hunting such animals.
Applying this test, l am of the
opinion that the usual method OF
taking bullfrogs would be consi6
cred hunting"
Many states have specific laws
protecting bullfrogs and fixing
definite seasons when they may
be taken. The adjoining state OF
West Virginia has a law protect
ing bullfrogs the same as any
game animal or fish.

Should q Person Be Judged
By What He Says
Or By How He Says 1t?

A cabbie was hurt in collision,
and sued the other driver for dam
ages. When the motorist was held
liable, his lawyer appealed the
case to a higher court. The lawyer
pointed out that his client had told
a smooth. logical story-while the
cabbie had used awkward, hating
phrases. But the court was not inn
pressed and turned down the ap-
peal. The judges said that even
more important than the words
themselves are "the furtlve glance,
the blush Of shame. the hesitation.
the sneering tone, the yawn, the
sigh, the brazen face of the liar,
the honest face of the truthful one.
A witness may give testimony that
reads, in print, as If falling from
the lips Of an angel, and yet not
soul who heard it believed a word.
Another may testify so that 1t reads
brokenly In print, and yet some
thing about him carried the convic-
ton of truth to everyone who heard
him speak,"

How Much Is A Health
Unit Worth?

Dickinson County can get a
public health unit if the Board OF
Supervisors sees fit. The state
pays the greater part of the cost,
but the locality would have to
put up $3.50 month, $4,000 {
year. Would it be worth that
much to Us?
We should rid ourselves of a
common and natural, but mistak>
en- idea at the beginning. A pub
lie health department doesn't
treat diseases in competition
against the private physicians. Il
isn't "socialized medicine" as the
term is disparagingly used by the
American Medical Association.
Public health service is chiefly
concerned with prevention. TUber
culosis, venereal disease and gen.
eral sanitation; these are the
specific fields of public health.
When there is a health unit, all
food handlers must undergo ex-
animation that the public may
be protected. Cases of venereal di
sease are ferreted out. Tubercu-
losis is detected. Sanitary regula-
tons are imposed on stores and
public eating places.

About all of us know the Facts
of Life, and, therefore, under
stand that carrier of venerea
disease is as dangerous as drunk
en- man in an automobile. When
a public health record shows that
a person is carrier, that person
must submit to treatment, by a
private physician if he can af-
ford it. There are probably doz-
ems of umdetected and untreated
carriers in this county. How
much would it be worth to put
this scourge under control?

There are in all probability a
good many cases of tuberculosis

Alaska is ver-defended in some areas, and is neglected in others. comments correspondent writ ing for the Christian Science Monitor under a Juneau dateline. The article contends that the de- fense belt running through Fair banks, Anchorage and Kodiak, ana traced on the mainland by the roadbed of The Alaska Rail road, constitutes regular 'Maginot line," but that other sections of Alaska are virtually defenseless.
 The writer quotes the Ketchi- kan Chronicle which contends that the 'best spots to be captured and turned against the States would be the air bases at Yakutat and Annette-both far from the 'Maginot line and from stateside bases, too.",
 The article concludes by refer ring to Del. E. L. Bartlett's alarm over the defense concentrations in one area. MT. Bartlett feels that there is vital need of defense installations in the Aleutian Is- lands and in northwest Alaska.
