•jk We, The Women
For A Change, Gals, Have Change
BY RUTH MILLETT
"You can say that women are 100
per cent more trouble on a bus than
men," the driver and collector of
Fifth Avenue
emphatically
to a New
reporter.
One of their bit
complaints
the high
sex is that
never have
ready
they get on
bus.
Instead, they
stand blocking
Ruth Millett the door while
they fish around in a crowded
handbag for 10 pennies or a five
dollar bill.
And it’s the truth, isn't it? Much
as women, instinctively want to be
charming and do the right thing
at all times, they have never
caught on to the idea that an as
sortment of change, easily avail
able, would simplify many of their
daily business transactions.
Tiler*’» not only the matter of
the bus—it's usually the woman
diner in a restaurant who hasn’t1
a tip for the waitress until after
she pay* her check. She has to
worm her way back to her table
to leave the tip, if she doesn’t
decide not to bother with it.
TAKE PITY LADY
If the man of the house is at
home when the paper boy comes to
collect, he gets the correct change,
but if he isn’t the paper boy will
probably have to wait while a wo
man looks high and low for her
pocketbook; then the poor kid is
given a bill he can’t change.
It’s the same old fumble when
a woman buys a magazine or a
newspaper from the boy on the
corner, or when she buys a loaf
of bread at the grocer’s.
Statistics show women spent the
greater part of this country’s
money. And if there were statis
tics on the subject, they would
probably show that nine times out
of ten they don’t have the correct
change.

SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES
REPORT DECLINE IN
NUMBER OF ARRESTS
A slight decline in the number
of arrests made by New Hanover
county police has been noted with
the migration of war plant workers,
and service personnel from the
area, Sheriff C. David Jones said
yesterday.
The decrease was evident chiefly
in the number of arrests on aban
donment and non - support, and
prostitution charges, reports indi
cated.
During January, 1945, 82 arrests
were made by Sheriff’s deputies
while last month only 71 were
registered.
There were two murders during
the last month of 1945, however,
while during the same period in
1944.
..
At the regular meeting of the
New Hanover County unit of the
North Carolina Education associa
tion held in the high school Miss
Virginia Herrin was elected as new
president.
Serving with Miss Herrin will be
John Glisson, vice-president; Miss
Margaret McClammy, secretary;
and Mrs. Bernice Bjonerud, treas
urer.
The meeting was presided over
by Mrs. Lucile Schuffler, principle
of the Sunset Park school. During
the business session the chairman
of the standing committees re
ported on the work accomplished
since the opening of the school
year. Plans were made for some
teacher delegates to attend the
state meeting which will be held
next month in Asheville.
H. M. Roland, superintendent of
schools, commended the teachers
on the work done in the physical
education program throughout the
school system, and announced that
John Glisson had returned to re
sume his work as visiual education
director.
The program of the afternoon
was centered around the proposed !
merit rating system. Mrs. Inez
Hinnant, a teacher at the Winter
Park school, who is a member of
the governor’s merit rating study
commission, led a discussion on
this topic. Mrs. Hinnant read the
resolution which had been intro
duced in the legislature and told
of the study made by the commis
sion to date and plans for the future
study.
