Only q few ships q week enter
the harbor. All public utilities.
dockyardS. oil companies and
similar installations built by
foreign capital over nearly q.
century have been reQuisitioned.
All foreign banks and most
business houses have applied
for closure. In the l93O's there
were 5000 British residents In
the city; now there are barely 200.
Yet. oddly enough. except for
the total absence Of business
on anything like the old scale,
life for the "Shanghailander"
(for so foreign residents of the
former international sediment
called themselves) has changed
little.
Right up to the time I left /
still lived In my old fiat, kept
on my Chinese servants, ran
my car. One could, If one wished,
own a pony and 60 riding In
the nearer suburbs. There was
no restriction Of movement
within the city.
Rationing introduced.
Only recently has rationing
been introduced. and so far only
cooking oil Is affected. Beef has
become scarce, but pork. chicken,
duck, eggs and vegetables are
all available and, to the foreign
er. seem reasonably priced.
There is. however. virtually no
freedom to travel from Shang-
hal to other parts of China. To
go to Peiping, for example. calls
for a special visa.
Form-filling is perhaps the
most arduous exercise in ones
daily existence. even II one does

In the past few months the

How the China I had known
so well had changed! It is hard
to believe that Shanghai was
once the pearl Of the Orient, a
busy gay cosmopolitan place. Its
wharyes and warehouses along
the banks Of the Whangpoo
River handled 800 ocean-going
ships a month. It was the fifth
largest port II. the world.
Even after vi day, when
money flowed like water, it was
q fabulous place, despite gallop-
ing imitation and ever-threaten-
ing troubles" In the famous
foreigners clubs Of the interna-
tional settlement life seemed to
have returned to normal.
After all, there had always

merely as the '25. '27. 80. 81

Shanghai survived them all.

But 1919 was different. This
was the year Of Liberation" the
big turning point when Mao

power from the Nationalist.
Foreign Clubs Closed.
Shanghai today II q quiet,

Today the regime has taken

IT'S NOT MY BABY

An announcement of a baby
born last week to Mrs. Sadie Faye
O'Neal Midget of Wanchese, sent
in for publication by the doting
mother or grandmother, who is
Mrs. Clemmie O'Neal, in which
announcement the child's parent
age was literally shared with the
estranged husband, has brought
strong disclaim from the latter.
Melvin Midget has notified this
newspaper that he has not been
with nor in the company of his
estranged wife in more than IL
months, and he is dead certain he
is not the father. Furthermore, he
says he is going to get a divorce
as soon as he can. We regret the
circumstances being like they are,
but it got in and there is no way
of getting it out. The story we
mean, and like the baby, we can
only do our best to explain how
it got into print.

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of my darling
husband and our precious daddy
Claude T. Williams, who passed
away two years ago today, Feb. IL
1852.
A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is still;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
Nobody knows the silent heart
aches,
Only those who have lost can
tell;
Of the grief that is borne in 81
lence,
For the one we loved so well.
Some may think we are not lonely
When at times they see us smile;
Little do they know the heartaches.
That we suffer all the while.
DEVOTED WIFE AND
DAUGHTERS.

Woman Denied Job
As Council Clerk

Two Democratic members of
the Montgomery County Council
failed yesterday in their attempt
to get a woman appointed as
clerk to the council, a post ira
ditionally held by a man.
Three promotions were ap-
proved by the council. with the
two minority members objecting
to the promotion of a man en-
ploye over Mrs. Anna p. Spates.
Mrs. Spates has been holding
the job on an active basis for
several months, while Jeptha j..
Carroll was working in the coun-
ty managers Office.
Mr.. Carroll was named assist
ant to the county manager. Mrs.
SpateS was named assistant
clerk. But the council gave the
clerks job to William B. Nc
Kinney, jr., an engineer in the
public works department.
Councilwoman Stella B. Wer-
ner and Councilman Grover
Walker, yesterday said they felt
Mrs. Spates should have been
given the job. The Republican
majority outvoted them.
