The other day, he claims, he was nabbed by the police on a liquor charge technicality. Seems he had bottle of usqueba In his car, seal unbroken, end was taking It to their home on the reservation. No can do, aaya John Law. That's intro ducing liquor to an Indian. Okay, The law s the law. But look at the other aide of the fence. Living on the reservation this white man still can't hunt and fish on Indian land despite his marriage to a tribal member. So what does that make btmt He tent allowed the white man's privilege of liquor and he Is denied the Indian's privilege of tak ing game.

A couple of lonesome lads cruising the Pacific aboard Uncle Barn's destroyer DE6S7 find that they nave time on their hands and would use to receive a lltue more so they could answer it. Remember all the drives asking you to write the troys uvrr were during the war years? Well, maybe they need the mall Just as much now. An ocean can be Just as lonely in peace as it is fn war. You don't even have the excitement of general quarters umpty-ump times per day to keep you busy. In case any of you would be interested in writing ti i. . you can address your letters to una nuygroc, kjjsn or Jim Johns rud, FN. Both boys are serving aboard the destroyer CSS George, DE697, care of FPO, San Francisco. A line to the lads would make a welcome gift anytime.

Coupled with this, the city has raised the fine for leaky plumbing from 12 to 13 lor each day of the offense. But the penalty for other water wasters could be more. A Brook lyn magistrate collected a $10 fine from a man for washing bis car tn front of his home. 'Acute' The new restrictions stemmed from what Carney called an "in creasingly acute situation.''
