FOURTEEN THE GASTONIA (N. GAZETTE TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1936. COL. GASTON JAS. W.

PURKLY PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS After having been away from my desk since the first of lasi November, I am back again in good shape and ready to make my regular contribution in the form of "Col. Gaston That this may be good news to at least a few of my friendly readers, I am vain enough to believe. Of this time some eight or ten weeks were spent in Florida mostly at White Springs and the past two weeks at St. Petersburg. I have some good friends in both places and enjoyed associating with them again.

I am deeply obligated to members of The Gazette staff anc one or two not on the staff for keeping this column alive while I was "out. In fact they all did such a good job that I am sure my readers enjoyed perusing i' as much as they ever did when I was on the job regularly. To fill of these I hereby accord mj heartfelt thanks for the wonder, fully fine job they did. DISTINGUISHED TAR BEEL 1'ASSES Occasionally has rendered some man the world who distinguished who, a the time, may have dropped ou of the public eye because of and his going escapes most of the newswrit- ers. Such a case was that Dr.

Eugene W. Gudger, who died in his native town of Waynesville on the 19th of February at the age of 89. As a boy in Asheville I Dr. Gudger, who did his teaching in the old Asheville Female College, where my father spent 16 years in administrative work and in teaching. Most of Dr.

Gudger's active life was spent outside the state This perhaps accounts for the fact that so many newspapei writers and others were ignorant contribution ha knowledge of his of the great made to the age. Aside from a couple of years spent teaching In Asheville and 14 years as head of the science department of the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, most of Dr. Gudger's life prior to his retirement a few years ago was spent in New York where he was actively connected with the American Museum of Natural History. Dr. Gudger spent his entire life studying and writing about fish.

He was recognized throughout the world as one of its topnotch ichthyologists. He was the first scientist to observe and write about the strange breeding habits of the pike fish. He was also an expert on whales. At the time of his death Dr. Gudger was bibliographer and honorary curator emeritus of the American Museum of Natural History to which institution he had devoted most of his active life.

He was editor of the American Museum of Natural History's index volume of the bibliography of fishes and also edited the widely acclaimed Bashford Dean Memorial volume on fishes. Though he did not see the ocean until he was 36 years old, he knew perhaps more about the history, habits and life traits of more species of fish than any other man. He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the New York Zoological Society and a life member of the American Museum of Natural History. He was also a member of the. Society of American Naturalists, the American Society of Zoologists, the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpa 1 the History of Science So- clety, the Salmon and Trout Association of Great Britain and of the National Academy or Science.

Dr. Gudger was educated at Emory and Henry College, Emory, the University ol Nashville and Johns Hopkins University from he received his doctor's degree. Dr. Gudger's line ol study, research and writing was so far from the walks of the average man that it is understandable how he happened to get lost in the parade of personalities across the stage of life. He made a most valuable con tributlon to the sum total Iranian knowledge and for tha reason deserves the hands of all North Oarolin ans and, for that matter, the peoples of all the world.

A GREAT COMEDIAN PASSES QUICKLY Saturday night, while walkin his dog on a street in his horn section of New York City, Pre Allen, the comedian beloved millions of Americans, died sud denly.
