J No Fiction in This, But It's an Interesting Book By VUKI County Clerk Henry C. Mattson Is about to add another volume to his ever increasing library. And the new work will not deal with fairy talcs, Christmas stones or something equally light in na ture. It will bo the 8th volume of the record of judgments books that reflect much of the economic history of the county, particularly dealing with the 'litl!e fellow" who couldn't quite manage to keep even and eventually gut caught up in the toils of the law. While the books are "puhlir prop erty" and what is written therein can be viewed by anybody who wants to satisfy his curiosity, it doesn't seem just right, particular ly at Christmas time, to name names. However, it may be said that the first entry written in Vol. No. 1, occurred in May, 1H."4. A date that caused Arthur Booth lin. deputy clerk, to remark: "Heavens, they vwn went in debt loo years pgo." By way of explanation, it should be pointed out that whenever an individual or firm secures a judg ment against another, whether it be through action of the circuit court or whether it comes in by transcript from district court or justices of the peace, the actum is written in long hand in the book. Scattered throughout the pages of the huge volume are notations in red ink. This color fluid is commonly known as representing loss. However in these instances it is used to indicate that the debt or has taken care of the obligation in full. "And what a lot of tc;irs. heart aches, trials and trihulations are represented in those lines," volun teered Clerk Mattson. It takes less time to fill the books, that is ! the matter of days, months ) years. For in pleaded guilty to seducing secrets out of two U.S. intelligence officers for Russian pay. The names of the two Americans were not introduced in court. U.S. officials said previously the black eyed charmer Irmgard Mar- garethc Schmidt was the mis tress of an Air Force intelligence colonel and had occasional dates with a civilian intelligence chief. The prosecution desenbed her as one of the most dangerous spies encountered here since World War II. The 24-year-old former East ?one student burst into tears as U.S. High Commission Judge Ambrose Fuller pronounced sentence. At' though -she had said nothing in her own defense during the trial, she sobbed bitterly: "I can't take It. It's too much." The girl pleaded guilty to trans mitting to the Russians for money details of the order of battle for Allied defense of West Berlin. She also admitted a second charge of approaching a German national in U.S. intelligence to gel more in formation. She pleaded innocent to a third charge of attempting to obtain details' of the entire network of American agents in West Berlin. IIOKSK HAIRCUTS , MIAMI, Fla. tf The price of haircuts, like many other tilings. has gone up in recent years. Race horses shipped to Florida have their winter coats clipped before Uiey start the winter season. Horse barbers , get $8 per customer. ZIMMKHMAN stance No. 7 was opened in .lanu arv. HMO, and the final entry was made late in December, lii.it. A time lapse of 12 years. No was initiated in January, liT.2. and it is now full to overflowing just four years. Several reasons are advanced for the increase in judgments. Na turally the heavy increase in pop illation plays an important p:irt. Then the law governing the collee lion of state income taxes, when the citicn becomes remiss in his obligations to Old Man Ores has been tightened. This means a lot more work for the judgment clerk who had to make n record of the warrants issued by the state ami then, when it is paid, chronicle this information in the hig hook Perhaps the ease with which merchandise and services may be secured on partial payments may have a part in filling the judg inenl books with greater rapidity.

Hilton, born Sept. 9, 1901), in Leigh, Lancashire, England, had said it was Hollywood which brought him to America, although he said he couldn't find America in Hollywood. "I live in Long Beach because it puts me closer to the feel of America," he once said. "You can't get the feel of it from Holly wood. It was the mystical lost land of Shangri-la, a valley of beauty, serenity and eternal youth, which started Hilton on years of restless wanderings between Lngland and the United States. Shangri-la was a distant, misty Utopia in Hilton's most famous novel, "Lost Horizon." The 1934 best-seller and the 1935 movie ver sion, which Hilton came here to help film, had made the word fa mous the world over.
