that you can't be success be-
cause you lack opportunity, you
might think about Albert @. Bell.
An immigrant with little formal
education, Mr.. Bell created a high
ly successful design for living on
a sparsely-settled island. He even
turned WPA-project into ma
tionally famous shrine.
He was born in small town in
England. When he was Is, he mi
grated with his parents n d
brother, to New Brunswick. He
didn't like the cold and snow in
that Canadian province, however.
When he was "a, he was offered
job in shipyard in Elizabeth
City, N. c., and he took it.
He liked the mechanical end of
work in the shipyard, and stayed
with it more than 10 years, until
the place was hit by the depres-
sion. Meanwhile, he had married
an Elizabeth City girl, and had
bought some land with the idea of
starting a plant nursery.
During the early years of the
depression his mechanical abilities
got him several odd jobs, among
them the floating of a sunken
yacht. Then came chance to work
on a rustic theater on Roanoke Is
land, which wasn't too far from
Elizabeth City.
Bert Bell designed the outdoor
area that is now known as Water

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Three
daring bandits set out today to
stage what might have been a
well-planned 100000 robbery of
a Queens branch bank-but
failed because bank officials had
made better plans for just such
an event.
The three robbers posed as
window cleaners and when John
Rumpfeld, bank guard, arrived
for work, they stuck a gun in
his ribs.
They forced him to open the
bank door and, guns drawn, met
four succeeding employees as they
arrived.
When Richard Meyerose. bank
manager, appeared, they ordered
him to open vaults containing
some 5000, 900. Mr.. Meyerose be-
gan to comply.
But the robbers did not know

fire for fear Of hitting bank per-
sonnel.
About that time police REIN
forcements arrived.
The remaining bandit, COVER
ing on basement stairs, sur
rendered meekly.
Police identified him as a 22-
year-old longshoreman. Joseph
Ridder of Brooklyn. He said he
had met his companions only
two days before in a Brooklyn
lunchroom and did not know
their names.
The getaway car was found
abandoned later.
The bank is the Laurelton
Branch of the Ridgewood Saw
ingS.
Police did not Immediately ex-
press any theory as to whether
the holdup had any connection
with a $97, 900 holdup at a branch
of another bank at Mount Ver-
non, N. Y. just north Of New
York, two weeks ago.
The robbers technique was
much the same In both holdups.

It was AZ degrees early today
