PAGE TWO THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1949 OGDENSBURG (N. Y.) JOURNAL ~i Around St Lawrence County By ALEKO ULJUS — HOWDY FOLKS! Time—ruth- less enough as a rule in its deal- ings with human affairs has a whimsical way of showing an unexpected kindliness towards certain types of lesser law breakers, over whose sordid and unedifying lives the veil of years draws all too often a quite decep- t i v e glamor, and nowhere, loarhaps, is this more no-Iceable than in^the case of the smuggler. AJeko Lilius Socially Speaking By Mary Jane MadDougali — And if Time has been rather more than knid to the smuggler, it has been a good deal less than fair to his bitter opponents, the Customs and Border Patrol. Those of you who still remember prohibition days may recollect how the public glorified the law breakers and too often booed the men who actually risked their lives chasing them. The border river, our great St. Lawrence, saw many a drama — as yet untold and soon forgot- ten — while the archieves of the Customs and Border Patrol are simply bulging- with first-class fact-thriller material. Yet, neith- er service will permit qualified outsiders to take a peek at it. This reticence goes almost too far, when individual service men request not to mention their names in print in connection with some meritorius act of theirs. What about it. Ye Brasshats of C. and B.P.? Can't you let the boys tell us a yarn or -two from the dim past that couldn't possi- bly hurt their present so very hush-hush activities? There is so much more romance to their work than the routine checking\ of border crossers' passports and permits. Yes, what about it? We are all ears and our pencils are -•harpened. We met an unnamed border patrol officer at Waddington stepping out of Bil Oshier's bar- ber sVn. He was in an awful hurry. Knowing it to be useless Mrs. Asa J. Ames, co-owner of the Lake Side Hotel on the Black Lake Road and former manager of the St. Lawrence Social Club, was hostess at a surprise shower over the weekend in honor of bride-to-be Miss Bernice Kaine. During the evening games were enjoyed and refreshments were served at midnight. A large decorated cake was presented the guest of honor, in addition to many gifts. Those present were Mrs. Vir- ginia Pasch, Mrs. Charlotte Badger, Mrs. Dina Martin, Mrs. Lucile Farley, Mrs. Sandy Mc- Namara, Mrs. DeGray, Mrs. Hutchinson', Miss Ann Kaine and the hostess. Miss Patricia Lynch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James J. Lynch, recently accepted a position with the Central New York Power Corp. in Syracuse and began her new duties there Feb. 21. Miss Lynch was formerly employed as a secretary at the Cleveland Container Co. Miss Harriet S. Merrill of Massena, a frequent visitor in Ogdensburg, will recite a com- position which she wrote at 5 p.m. today in Massena. She \is also taking part in a Spanish play to be held there. Miss Mer- mill is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Henderson, 707 Knox St. Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred J, Sweeney of 611 New York Ave., have received word from their son, Wilfred (Buster) ,US Coast Guardsman who was seriously injured near Jacksonville, Fla., last Wednesday, that his condi- tion is much improved at the hospital there. They were also notified by the Red Cross of his improvement. Buster received a fractured skull while loading supplies on the Coast Guard Cut- ter Brier. Mrs;. Orma Smithers of, Og- densiiiurg, St. Lawrence District Secretary of the Wesleyan Serv- ice Giuild, was the-guest speaker at the Gouverneur Guild meeting Tuesdiay evening. She'had several other speaking engagements while a guest at the home of Mrs. William Reynolds in Gouverneur.

Oshier is a hand- some, blue-eyed, silver haired qen Hem an, who likes wine-col- ored shirts and ties to match. 'Ic's 66, and he's been a barber ••inee he was 15 years old. \I used to barber for ten cents for a shave,\ Bill told us. \Hair- cuts were 15 cents and shave and haircuts a quarter.

Bill's two brothers are both barbers. He has two married daughters and it wouldn't surprise us the least if we were told that they, too, were in a relate*-! trade, like hairdo or something:, hut they probably aren't. Young Allan is a veteran of the last war and saw action in South Pacific. This barber shop —like most country barber shops —is a popular place. Here the boys, whether 18 or 80, gather to chew the rag and exchange news. When we were there, only young folks happened to come in. Herb Campbell was there.

We stopped at the Waddington Bank to take a picture of it and snapped Marian Forsythe com- ing' out through its door. Inside, we .found Arthur Henry talking business with Roy Pike, exec, vicepresident and cashier, who, incidentally, also is the president of the St. Lawrence County Banking Association. Bele Ru- therford and Isabel Logan, re- spectively assistant cashier and teller, kindly agreed to pose for a few pictures.

Lt. Carl D. Eubanks, USCG, who commands the Maple, is counting on pulling out of his Winter Headquarters in Ogdens- burg on or about March 25 to place navigational aids along the St. Lawrence River and the Niagara River. An earlier start than usual can be made because of the mild Win- ter and the early departure of ice from the St. Lawrence. Us- ually the Maple pulls out on its maiden river-run the first week in April. Meanwhije, in Montreal, the NB McLean has just completed the major part of her annual ice-breaking job on the St. Law- rence River . in the fastest time on record. Completion of the as- signment was the earliest date an icebreaker has smashed through to Montreal in river his- tory. \ v City nurse shortly before she died, will get. a new trial. The Appellate Division, Third Department, yesterday unani- mously reversed Finn's convic- tion in Warren County court on a second degree assault charge in June, 1948.

Finn, 23, of Stamford, Conn., was sentenced to two and one- half years, but was released in $7,500 bail from Clinton Prison, Dannemora, in August pending the appeal. He was alleged to have struck the 23-year-old nurse during a pre-dawn parking session Aug. 1, 1947, at Lake George. Miss Reznick's body was found four hours later in shallow water near the shore of the lake. An autopsy disclosed Miss Rez- nick had drowned. A grand jury investigation failed to uncover the circumstances. Finn testified he struck Miss Reznick with his hand when she resisted his advances. He added that she ran from the automobile and that he could not find her later. The nurse had been vaca- tioning at the Adirondack resort. ! ing from southern and eastern Ohio to West Virginia, northern and western Pennsylvania and the interior portion of New York. Only 14 degrees separated the high from the low reading for the past 48 hours with the high being 40 and the low registered as 26. Noon reading today was exactly on the freezing mark. The fall last night slowed down travel of basketball fans returning from the game at Ma- lone as new snow greased roads and decreased visibility at times to just a few yards. Although ap- pearing as though the storm would continue for several hours, the last flakes fluttered down shortly after 2. TO-NITE &' FRIDAY Two Big Attractions!
