Ward To Leave Tienstin, China Next Weekend
Abcard Joplin Victory, Taku Bar,
Tientsin, China, Dec. 8- (U.P.)-Consul
General Angus Ward and his staff from the Mukden consulate will board an American freighter in this windswept roadstead next weekend for their long-delayed trip home from Communist China.
Ward and his staff—a group of 20 in all—are expected to be taken aboard the American freighter Lakeland Victory, chartered in Japan to rescue the Americans from behind the Chinese Communist iron curtain. Ward and his group were to leave Mukden Tuesday afternoon for Tientsin.
It was presumed that the group already has started the 700-mile trip to Tientsin. They are expected to arrive Thursday or Friday. Ward and his staff will board ship at Taku Bar, the sea exit from Tientsin, which is 35 miles up the shallow Hai river.
Taku Bar has no harbor. Ships must stand out 10 miles or more to be loaded by barge. Passengers from Tientsin must make an hour's trip by train to the village of Tangku on the Hai river and then travel four hours by tugboat to reach their ship.

Traffic Fines Seem Not Too High But Extras Raise Amount To Pay
Washington—(U.P.)—One never knows the amount of bookkeeping involved in a traffic fine until he looks into it. Take the case of John C. Robinson, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., who was arrested in Williamston, N.C.
According to the report Mr. Robinson made to the American Automobile Association here, he was zipping along at 65 miles an hour. The speed limit on the highway in North Carolina is 55 M.P.H.
The driver said he was both wrong and sorry. The judge said he was sorry, too, but the damage was $15-plus. It was the plus that floored Mr. Robinson. He forwarded the work-sheet, or the breakdown, to the A.A.A. The A.A.A. was helpless, but interested.
Here is the official bill of fine and costs in the case; Affidavit, 25 cents; bill of cost, preparing, 25 cents; docketing warrant, 25 cents; docketing judgment, 25 cents; filing papers, 10 cents; indexing judgment, 10 cents; indictment each, filing, 60 cents; judgement, $1; order arrest, $1; recording, 75 cents; fine defendant, $1; recorder's fee, $6; solicitor, $8; county tax jury findings, $2; state witness, $1.50. The total bill mounted to $37.05.
Mr. Robinson learned a lesson which he put down as "don't speed unless you have your lawyer and bookkeeper along."
For instance, there was no charge for "recognizance," which would have run the bill up another 25 cents. The court let him off on the "seal of office," which would have meant 25 cents.
Other serious fees he escaped were; presentment, 10 cents; subpoena, 15 cents; order, interlocutory, 25 cents; original process, $1; appeal from justice of peace, 50 cents; capias, $1; continuance, 30 cents;
The A.A.A. says the same situation exists in a lot of states. But it adds that Mr. Robinson probably got off pretty easy at that. And he would work on his worksheet, he could have had the whole book pitched at him.
Keene, N. H. — (U.P) — A public meeting was called to consider conditions at Keene Teachers college here.

bond, 60 cents; and empaneling jury, another 10 cents.

The University has opera in small enough doses to be enjoyed by harassed college students.
KFKU Listeners Now May Enjoy Weekly Half-Hour At The Opera
Phone 548
735 Mass.
Radio station KFKU has begun a series of programs, "The Opera Box," on which operas are presented in serial form, every Friday at 9:30 p.m. The program is designed to give listeners the impression of actually being at the Metropolitan for the opera, by having the announcer act as host to the listeners' theater party. He describes the scene as it unfolds from the entrance to the lobby until the opera begins. The listener theoretically has a season ticket to a box.
When the maestro enters the pit, the announcer turns the program over to the commentator who sets the stage for the various selections and arias. At the end of a scene there is an intermission, which is carried over to the next week.
The sound effects of applause, bravos, and glasses clinking in Sherry's buffet, are handled by the engineer, who also sees that the
records are played on time in correct order. On the average, it takes a month to present one complete opera.
The impression of reality seems to be effective and should make the opera more enjoyable to the average listener.
According to law, a minimum of three persons can create a riot.
