MaLays Team Fishing

KUALA LUMPUR - (P) - Four
Scottish fishermen, veterans of the
British herring fleet, are here
teaching Malay fishermen how to
increase their catches and provide
cheaper fish for the peasant and
labOring classes.
Four Malay fishermen are Oper-
ating with the ScOtsmen on a traw-
Ter, which was purchased from
Scotland by the Fisheries Depart
ment last September.
First attempts at catching NAL
ayan fish with the Scottish ring net
proved unsuccessful. The mesh
was too large. Substitution of a
smaller, mesh brought immediate
results.
Using one large boat and one
small instead of two large boats
as in Europe, the unit has been
catching as much fish as the most
modern of local craft, with q men
aboard. Eventually the four stu
dents of the Scottish fishermen will
be the teachers of many more Nal
ayan fishermen who now use cut
Of-date methods to catch fish.

SYDNEY - up - Professional
crocodile shooters may desert Aus
tralia's Northern Territory after
this year. Shooters and hide agents
say that crocodiles are becoming
scarcer in all rivers within reason
able distance Of Darwin.
Only four shooters are going out
this year, although the price of
hides has risen by 20 per cent.
Shooters say there are still plenty
of crOcOdiles in Outback rivers, but
not in numbers large enough to
cover the heavy expenses of hunt

The number Of crocOdiles has
been steadily decreasing since be-
fore the war, but at a faster rate
since the war. They take a long

@. Are you in a sports arena?
A, Yes.
The questioner goes on to ask
further pertinent questions to dis
cover where the tourist is and then
what he is doing in Madison Square
Garden. Actually this is a short
cut illustration. The game is more
timercOnsuming usually, unless
you are just lucky enough to hit the
proper stride in the beginning.
When players catch on to the
game the tourists does not need
to tell the country or state he is
supposed to be in. The game is
more exciting, starting from
scratch. The incest thing about
this game is that it can be played
leisurely while sitting around
room.
Some people prefer to play it
while a buffet meal is being con-
sUmed. But that doesn't give. the

A girl or boy who can think I'M
new party games will never be
left sitting at home when a party
is in progress. Such popularity is
deserved because new games are
hard to come by as any party goer
or giver knows.
A big lift for Debs who yearn
to be popular is offered in a new
handbook of party games called
How to Run a Successful Party
published by Toby Press 1850.
FavOrite games Of movie stars

gomery's choice. It is too Involved

played it, and your friends don't
know It, you can find directions
for it in this little handbook. It
is lots Of fun and should keen your
guests interested and amused for
hours.
Another game suggested in the
book sounds like fun. 1t is "Where
Am / and What Am DoihS 2"
The object of the game is for
the players to guess the identity
of one Of them who is known as
the tourist"
The tourist" decides where he
IS and what specific thing he is
doing at the place. The other
players must establish where the
tourist. is and what he is doing.
This is done by players asking a
question in turn, which may be
answered only by yes mo" or
Il don't know.
A total Of 25 questions may be
asked. If the other players hava
not guessed the whereabouts Of the
tourist and what he is doing with
in the time limit set, the game
ends and new game starts, with
any other player assuming the
role of tourist.
fhe tourist" can plan to be any
place in the world, doing anything
no matter how fantastic it might be.
His imagination can be useful in a
game Of this sort.
Il is best to try to find out where
the player Is before finding out
what he is doing, IN order to avoid
asking too many questions.
Assuming that a tourist has de-
cided to be in Madison Square Gar
den knitting, he starts By saying

Q. Are you in a residence?

DeMilles Academy
Award Winner
Appears Locally

When Cecil B. DeMille wrapped
up his colossal production of
Samson and Delilah" several
years ago, both fans and experts
wandered what his supper show
man would turn to next. His bibli-
cal epics, historical pageants and
religious spectacles had pioneered
movie history. Were there still
new trails for the old master to
blaze?
The answer was yes, and it is
now dazzlingly framed in THE
Greatest Show on Earth" DeMile's
latest, largest and most lavish
Technicolor spectacle, which opens
Sunday at the Columbus Theatre,
Whiteville, N. c. and at The Ritz
Theatre in Tabor City June 1873
and 10th. 1t is a grandScale circus
epic which provided the fresh
challenge for DCMilc in this
Paramount picture. Judging from
the supcrlativeS that the film
has earned in advance show
ingS, the matchmaking genius
was more than equal TO the task.
This latest of DeMile'S movie
milestoncs blends huge and au-
thentic panorama of the worlds
biggest Big Top Show with a penc-
trating drama of behind-the-
scenes circus life. His mammoth
cast includes a brilliant roster of
Hollywood players and thousands
of performers and workers of the
Ringing Bros Barnum & Bailey
circus, which cooperated in max
ing the film. Heading the greatest
array of talent ever to grace a
single picture are Betty Hutton.
Charlton Heston. Cornell Wilde.
Dorothy Lamour. Gloria Grahame
and James Stewart. All of the cir
Gus exciting acts-aerialists. tight
rope walkers. clowns, acrobats,
jugglers and trained animals-are
also seen in the spectacle.

Summer recreation program that
is being planned here, said today
that the Softball league play would
begin the last of next week if
leans would get their roster to-
gether and in his hands inmedi-
ately.
This information is necessary
before a schedule can DE worked
out because it is the only way to
determine how many teams will
be entered. Several groups have
expressed interest III entering the
play but none have sent in rosters
to date. If this information is not
sent in, it will be impossible for
this phase of the recreation pro-
gram to be carried out.
A schedule OF the first weeks
activities at the playground will
be completed soon and will be dis
;Iibuted tn. ous.iu1; t.v town by
Stevens. A variety of activities are
being planned that will furnish
entertainment for all age groups

WIND STORM
CAUSES
BAD FIRE

The wind storm of Monday near
ly cost the lost of the Tabor City
Lumber Co. The quick work of
the fire department and the dieing
down of the wind enabled the
flremen to save the plant.
When the fire department ar
rived they had to use the booster
hose on the mills water tank
which was on fire before they
could connect their hose to fight
the fire.
While thn M? -,-~.~ ifchting
the fire they noticed that the
water tank was on fire again and
they had to stop and fight that
before they could get back to the
original fire which had spread
under the entire mill building.
Several holes were burned through
the floor in various places. The
fire started from an open pit used
to burn slabs.
When the wind died down and
the firemen had gotten the fire
in the mill out they found that
fire had started in the planeing
mill and they had hard job in
putting this out.
There was slight damage to the
mill or the planning mill but for
some time they thought that the
entire plant would be wiped out
with the lumber that was piled
up outside.
The loss of this plant would have
been a big loss to Tabor City. The
efficient work of the local volun-
teer firemen is highly praised for
their work in the rain and heat.
Most of the men were wet thru
by rain before the fire was out.

r. F. HALL
.INSTALLS
TWO-WAY RADIO

r. F. Hall & Son OF Whiteville
. and Wilmington today announced
the installation of two-way radio
equipment for the improvement of
sales and repair services.
Equipment for the Whiteville
store and five motor vehicle units
has already been placed in opera
ton, but the Wilmington inStalla-
ton has not been completed.
II. d. Matthews, manager of
the local John Deere leadership.
SAID the company had spent ap-
proximately $4,000 with a view
to eXpediting repairs 10 farm
equipment.
For example. the two-way tru-
ok which may be in the vicinity
OF a trouble CALL" he explained.
If our mechanic isl a. Cherry
Grove. for instance, and we get a
call from Cerro Gordo. he may
be able to reach the Cerro Gordo
! trouble in a matter of minutes.
Under the old system, the repair
man might have returned to
Whiteville hours later and then
been sent to Cerro Gordo."
Matthew's expressed the opinion
that the new equipment would
mean a saving in time to the farm
er and expedite the firms hand
ling of trouble calls.
Both receiving and sending
equipment has been installed in
four of the local sales trucks and
one OF the firms automobiles.
Matthews announced another
innovation which he believes will
be helpful to farmers who use
tractors. Sales trucks will pull a
trailer, loaded with a tractor in
use as a demonstration.
Here's how this would work g"
Matthews explained IF a sales
truck were in the vicinity of
Lake Waccamaw and John Blank
should have tractor break down
In the field. ~" Blank would call
us, We woul F. in turn, call our
sales truck an the demons,ra.or
would be unloadcd for the farm
er's use. Mr.. Blanks old tractor
would be brought in for repair.
! and there would be little or no
transportation cost because the
truck would be able 10 maui the
broke-down tractor on a trip he
was goirg TO have to make any
way"
Matthews said he believed the
new equipment. together with the
trailer service. would result in
substantial savings for both .he
farmer and the local firm.
