Dallas and Rickreall Delivery
Of Mail Will Change March 1
Rural mail delivery service out of the Dallas and Rickreall
post ofiices will be materially changed after March 1.
Rickreall route 1 will be discontinued and the new route,
designated as Dallas route 3, and will be handled out of the
Dallas office. Rural patrons of both offices will be only slightly
-affected by the change.
Patrons who are now receiv
ing mail from the Rickreall of
fice are not required to change
their addresses but are permit
ted to do so if they wish. The
i7Ulli UlllllUfJV rural carrier will stop at the
Rickreall office to "case up"
and deliver mail that is address
ed there.
After the change is made the
Dallas carrier will stop at Rick
reall to "case up" mail, leaving
Dallas at 9 o'clock or about 20
minutes earlier Patrons on the
Rickreall route will receive their
mail at approximately the same
time as under the present sys
tem
Fels Observes
90th Birthday
. Philadelphia, Feb. 17 (P)
1 Samuel S. Fels, who made one
i of the great American fortunes
' and gave much of it away, turn
ed a brisk 90 Thursday sure of
a happier future for a distracted
' world.
Fels, a small, unassuming
man, amassed his millions in
soap, but his horizons have not
been limited to his business,
worthy as he thinks it. Over
many years he has spent stag
gering sums on wide-ranging
' philanthropies. Some say he has
' donated at least $40,000,000.
' A widower with no children,
Fels planned to observe the day
' simply, putting in his usual stint
at the office 10 a.m. until late
' afternoon. Lunch wiht a few old
cronies was to provide the lone
festive touch.
For three generations head of
the Naphtha Soap company that
' bears his name, Fels quit school
' at 16 and went to work, helping
' develop a soap formula first
tried in the family kitchen. His
formal education thus abruptly
cut short, young Samuel start-
ed studying on his own. He has
never stopped.
He disclaims his reputation
as philanthropist and philoso
pher. Yet he is both.
"Whatever may appear to the
contrary," he said in a birthday
interview, "humanity is on the
road to better things. I have
never known a time when there
wasn't trouble. Times now are
no worse than they ever were.
, So I don't worry too much about
atom and hydrogen bombs. I
think the human family is grow
ing in intelligence, and I think
nature has a great purpose in
, view for us."
Fascist Pelley
In Jail Again
Noblesville, Ind., Feb. 17 W)
William Dudley Pelley was
tehind bars again today with no
. judge available to set bonds for
his release. The former silver
shirt leader, released on par
ole from federal prison Tues
day, was arrested yesterday on
a fugitive warrant from North
Carolina. Circuit Judge Tom R.
White was ill at his home, and
there was no indication when
bond might be set.
Extradition of the 59-year-
old former publisher was order
ed by Governor Henry F.
Schricker of Indiana after his
release from prison at Tcrre
, Haute, but Pelley had filed a
petition for a writ of habeas cor
pus at Terre haute and had been
released on $1,000 bond.
Pelley was given a suspended
1 sentence of two to three years
at Asheville, N.C., in 1935, on
a charge of violating North
Carolina's securities law. Autn-
orities of that state contend he
violated terms of the suspen
sion. He was convicted of sedition
in federal court at Indianapolis
In 1942 and served half of a 15
year sentence before being par
oled. His attorneys contend he
served the North Carolina sen
tence concurrently.
Pelley organized the silver
shirt legion in Asheville during
the early part of World War II
and claimed it included 25,000
members in 22 states. The gov
ernment charged his writings
obstructed recruiting for armed
services and called the silver
shirts fascistic.
When the change Is made 16
families on the first part of the
route now served as the carrier
has been coming from Rickreall
to Dallas will be served at the
end of the route
The 21 families living on the
Jap Ellis corner-Clow - corner-
Gwinn corner to Rickreall sec
tion of the route, will find it
advantageous to change their ad
dress to Dallas route 3 accord
ing to Carl Black, Dallas post
master. This part of the route
will be served before the car
rier reaches Rickreall, and if
the mail is first sent to Rickreall
it will not be received until the
following day as it is first for
warded to Dallas.
The new route is 62.55 miles
and serves 321 boxes, of which
184 are on the Dallas section of
the present route.
The old Dallas route 3. which
formerly served the Mt Pisgah
section of the new route and
some of Oakdalc, was discon
tinued 20 years ago.
...
H L. Straley, navy veteran of
the last war who transferred
from postmaster at Brownsville
to Rickreall route 1 August
16, 1949, will be transferred to
Dallas and continue as earripr
oi. route 3.
Exact date nf 1h ostahlfch-
ment of the rural delivery serv
ice out of Rickreall is not known
but was in effect for several
years when the late William W.
Rowell was assiened route 2 nn
January 1, 1915. Mrs.. Emma
noweu, nis widow, is present

Selznick DID give his handsome
import from Stockholm. He
loaned him out once to MGM
and kept him sitting around the
rest of the time cashing pay
checks he didn't do anything to
earn.
Last November Kjellin and
Selznick called it quits. Since
then the man who had the
bobby soxers in Sweden agog
for 12 years has been waiting
for job offers.
Tney didn't come. So he's on
his way home for good, maybe
Roles for Kjellin are plentiful
over there.
"I don't blame Mr. Selznick,"
he said. "But I've been trying
and trying to figure out what
happened. And I think I ve hit
it.
"The trouble was I was al
ready well-known when I got
here. They couldn't suddenly
spring me on people and say:
look we, discovered him!' There
was no excitement about me."
Kjellin was warned when he
came over that Hollywood s
much for Swedish actors. Lars
Hanson, now in his 60's and Swe
den's foremost star, crashed this
never-never land but never got
anyvhere.
Neither did Nils Asther.
But it doesn't seem to work
that way with the Nordic beau
ties. Greta Garbo, Ingred Berg
man, Viveca Lindfors, Marta

"Maybe I didn't click because
' didn't play the socialite,"
Kjellin said. "I went to the night
clubs only a few times. Or maybe
I look too young. Hollywood has
good parts for old men but
not for the youngones.
not for the young ones.
"If you say your lines and kiss

minute you try to give any char
acter portrayal. . . That's no

And maybe, he said, he never
got anywhere because he ad
mitted he was always studying
his trade.
"Ralph Bellamy told me not
to say that," Kjeooin grinned.
"He said if I did nobody would
believe I was an actor. But I
didn't follow his advice.
"I don't care. I'd rather be a
failure than lose something I

lieved responsible for an epi
demic of peeping through win
dows and molesting of young
girls here during the last sev
eral months was jailed here.

said, and the girls Thursday
identified Guillermo as the man
whom they had seen, ,

dences two or three nights a

ing about school buildings ex
posing himself and pursuing
girls.
