(oast Guard Seaman
Found Guilty in Wreck
Octavius Hayward, still maintain
ing that he had not left the Coast
Guard cutter Storis the night of
Oct. 6, heard himself sentenced on
I four counts in municipal court Sat
urday morning.
Hayward* a seaman, was charged
with taking a vehicle without the
owner's permission, reckless driving,
destroying city property and the
destruction of private property. The
charges grew from a wreck on
Willoughby avenue.
Hayward was restricted to quart
ers on the night the accident hap
pened, and swears he did not leave
the ship. He was, however, identified
by a taxi driver as having been
at the scene of the accident.
He was fined $50 on the first two
counts, $10 repair of a fire plug
on the third count, and was not
fined on the other charge. He was
released to the ship’s officers and
given GO days to pay the fines.
Hayward’s officers indicated the
court’s findings would force them
to prosecute him on charges of be
ing absent without leave.
There perhaps remained more
trouble in store for Hayward with
the probability that he will be pre
sented with a bill for damages to
the car and to a house on Willough
by that the car crashed into.

Reindeer Herd
Goes to Texas
From Alaska
Grady Carothers of Goldthwaite,
Texas, got an idea in 1945 that
Christmas was a pretty drab thing
for his two boys, with no rein
deers to haul their Yuletide loot.
He is one of those long, lean, Texans
who thinks everything ought to
thrive i.iTexas, including Arctic
reindeer.
Carothers started writing letters
to peonle in Alaska, to anyone who
might have a few spare reindeer
around. Also, he began writing let
ters to the Department of Interior,
in charge of looking after reindeer
welfare.
Gets Ok
Three years later in 1948, Caroth
ers get an OK that he could buy
srveral of the antleied animals. He
and another stock rancher set out
alter them. Deep in the heart of.
Alaska, the men snared six of the
reindeer. Two days of dog sledding!
and five days of flying brought the I
vhole group to Goldthwaite.
Texas didn't provide the lichens
on which reindeer prefer to dine, so
Carothers put them on an oatmeal
diet. After a year they shifted to
more ordinary ruminant fare. The
reindeer liked it fine; even their
antlers failed to fall off just before
Christmas, as is their want, very
disappointing to children and pos
sibly reindeer. How he manages to
keep the antlers aboard is one of
Carothers trade secrets.
Makes Deals
In the course of the negotiations,
Carothers had expanded his pro
ject from the family Christmas
business. The deal: to rent out
reindeer to march in promotional
parades. With towns in all parts
of the country interested, merchants
proved happy to pay from $200 up
for the use of the reindeer.
Both the project and the reindeer
thrived so well that Carothers came
Lack to Alaska in 1948, 1950 and
this year for other batches of the
sleigh-pullers,
Carothers is close-mouthed about
how he manages to make reindeer
thrive way down in Texas, when
northern zoos generally find them
too much trouble to worth having.
Apart from the oatmeal, the animals
get the same treatment as the Car
B-29 Crashes; 5 Escape
An Air Force rescue team pours foamiie on a burning B-29 which crashed and burst inlo flamers on a
runway at Carswell Air Force Base at Fort Worth; Texas. Five men were pulled from the bomber and
rushed to the base hospital. The Lockheed Aircraft Service was ferrying the plane from Pyot'e Air
F'orce Base in West Texas, to Warner Robins Air Force Base, Oa. t/PI Wirephoto.
others stock, with one exception:
The reindeer have a personal corral,
shaded with arbors and provided
with big mechanical fans, for hot
and breezeles.s days.
Bug Powdered
And they get sprayed a lot with
Lug powders. That’s because being
bitten disturbs their noramlly pla
cid dispositions. . Usually they're
calmer than steers—but not when
they're fly-bit.
One angle to Carotners’ success
may be that he gathers his re
cruits latg in the fall. That means
they have a while to get used to
Texas before summer sets in.
This year he got five of the actors
in his promotional scheme from the
Charles Clark ^.crd near Kotzebue
and will pick up 10 more from the
Sigfrid Aukongok herd near Golo
vin. Kotzebue is north of the Seward.
Peninsula just Within the Arctic
Circle while Golovin is a reindeer
station on the north shore of Nor
ton Sound.
So far, all the Carothers reindeer
! are gentlemen; the government;
frowns on female imports.
