May 20, 1944 THE ANTICIPATOR Page 2 TMj anticipator STAFF Editor Ruth Scott Assistant Editor Bertha Howard Reporters Merton Childers and Honce Snodgrass Price: Invaluable. Published once: This copy. Editorials GRAVE CRISIS MUST BE MET No such investigation has been made concerning anything in the U. S. since the 1924 oil scandal as has been made concerning the present one. It certain- ly does not seem advisable to proceed with this one.. Two reasons are given for this: First, the mere fact that it has been found that Senator McClung stole 2 quarts of oil from Senator NeCombs car does not eem of enough importance to merit so much discussion. Secondly, it will keep the country in a turmoil and have a very depressing effect. In fact further discussion will be harmful to the utmost. According to official count of the ballots, we have for our new Justice of the Peace, Mr. Dallas Jacobson, who will take the place of Merton Childers. No one who has been brought before Justice Childers has been proven guilty. Let us hope the next man has better success. EXTRA ! ! ! ! ! By the latest news flash from the press, we hear that Miss Liletta Leighton, Amer- ican Methodist Missionary to Hindustan, has been killed in a rebellion of the na- tives. This is IMPORTANT. It may cause the entrance of the U. S. into war, if something is not done at once. This paper is in favor of having less hours and greater pay for aeroplane speed cops. At present they work 3 hours a day for ten dollars an hour. We would receive much better service, and live in danger of having an aeroplane fall on our heads at any moment, if larger pay were given, and their time reduced to two or one and one-half hours. DANCE HALL CLOSED: RUN WITHOUT LICENSE The dance hall run by Alice Scott on Adams Avenue commonly known as the “Step Lively Dance Hall,” has been closed as the owner has been running it without a license. After many peaceful years of submerged submissiveness the worn and wilting “Wire- less Club” has again been exposed to the gloomy light of day. Mr. Brownton, who has but newly arrived in our midst is the pusillanimous perpetrator of this deed, aid- ed by a few equally guilty co-partners in crime has invaded the deep and dismal darkness of our attics and carried down the insipid instruments. In a short preparatory meeting to elect officers Mr. Vincent McEwen was elected president, Mr. Eugene Metcalf, secretary; while Lester McClure had charge of the pecuniary side of the organization. Mr. Brownton received the largest number of votes for president, but refused with thanks, to take the office of president. He prob- ably still wished to retain the good will of his fellowmen. Although we do not wish to injure our clubs, or organization, we do hope something will stop this move, back toward the cave man. WANT ADS FOR SALE)—A twin baby buggy. Inquire Huck Stoddard.
