asking the people of North Carolina
to help us in our efforts to secure the
construction of the North Carolina
for Norfolk Navy Yard. You wonder
how you can help-Very easy. Sit
yourself right down now write the
President telling him you would like
to have Norfolk Navy Yard build the
North Carolina and then by all means
write your Congressman from your
District, telling him the same, also
write your Senators, let them know
you approve of what they are doing
for we have already contacted them
and have been assured of their sup
port. But by all means write the Pres
ident first.
You know folks, the President has
= big job on his shoulders and he has
already done 1000 job, SO don't you
think it only right that we take some
of this burden from his shoulders by
helping his decide where these two
battleships are to be built. You know
they both can be built in a Govern
ment yard. It's not compulsory that
one be built in a private yard. In fact.
the Government would fare better If
both these ships were built in Navy
Yards. Because then we would get
ships with 100000 worth of work
manship and material in them instead
of $4O,OOO,0OO and $1O,OOO,OOO profit to
the stockholders of private ship yards
You know in recent Investigations it
has been brought to light that one
private yard that gets about $50 Of
all Naval construction let to private
builders made profit of $3.50 on $780,
100000 worth of Naval construction
contracts.
And now neighbors we are going
to thank you in advance, because we
know with these facts and figures
you are going to the bat for us, and
remember in this game over the fence
is not out So lets go right over the
topmost board and get the Battleship
North Carolina assigned to Norfolk
Navy Yard, and in return we will
give you the Flower of the U. S. Navy
to carry the grand old North States
name to the four corners of the
World. Come see.
Sincerely yours,

MACHINISTS MAKE APPEAL.

TC the Editor:
Greetings North Carolnians-Nav,
Yard Local No. AL International AS
ISOLATION of Machinists takes this way
of contracting you, enlisting your sup
port and cooperation in having the
tuilding of the proposed new Battle
ship North Carolina assigned to Nor
folk Navy Yard. We ask this favor
of you for many reasons.
First, we feel that of all the Navy
Yards on the Eastern seaboard, we
are better suited to build this ship.
Due to the proximity of Norfolk Navy
Yard to North Carolina it will enable
so many of you to visit the ship dur
ing the construction period and al
low you all to be present at the
launching at a very small expense.
and of course you will want to take
part in the construction and commits
sioning of any ship that is to bear the
name of the State of North Carolina
Second, with our new and modern
shops, equipment, efficient workmen
and our past new construction and
mOderniZatiOn record, we are sure
that the Navy will get a better con-
structcd ship with real saving,
which in itself alone is reason enough
to have the North Carolina assigned
to the Norfolk Yard
Third, in 1920 the keel of the North
Carolina was laid at Norfolk Yard.
Work progressed rapidly and efficient
ly until the ship was one-third COM
pleted when work was stopped What
had been accomplished was scrapped
as a result of thes ship-destrOying
provisions of the Washington Arma-
ment Limitation Treaty We feel that
if there is such a thing as the Navy
Department in particular and the
Government in general owing any
thing to any particular Navy Yard,
the Department and Government owe
the Norfolk Navy Yard the construc-
ton of the North Carolina
Fourth, and last but not least, 300
of the personnel Of the Norfolk Navy
Yard are native North Carolinians, its
a fact that there are as many native
North CarOlinians employed in Nor
folk Navy Yard as there are native
VirginianS. It's also true that most Of
these Down HOmers continue to hold
their property and citizenship in
North Carolina besides having sen
timental interest has a very set and
predetermined busine-s and economic

With these facts and the existing
circumstances, we feel justified in

He left no diary, no revealing

a few curt, moraliStic business

Notwithstanding which

Why is it that creative, in

writer has a tentative idea,
which, for the sake Of clarity,
may be wrenched into a bald
statement: 49,.
The men who can act can't
think, and the men who can
think can't act. "
To elaborate, if a man stops
to think about the social i'm

to do, he doesn't gain money
and power. Always acting with
sole regard to an immediate
exigency, he becomes incapable
Of seeing his act in any wider

stops to weigh human conduct,
his or other mems, in the scale
of the general welfare, never
acquires the power Of quick,
ruthless, decisive action which
leads to the high dominions of
power.

with the outgivings of men who

is there, somewhere between,
a zone of detached and realistic
thinking and the capacity for
effective action where men are
