All work and no play makes
any city a dull city; work and
play are as complementary as
day and night. Tacoma's
jubilee spirit, cropping out
again this week as it did a
year ago, is a wholesome
sign.
Tacoma, having worked
hard for a year and having
achieved certain large scale
constructive results, wants to
blow off some of its steam.
In this weeks celebration,
as in last years, the carnival
gaiety displayed on the citys
downtown streets contains
the elements of a vital force
in the community. Apply
that force to worthwhile pro-
jects during working hours
and working days. and you
really have something there.
Let's never become a city
of sour-pusses and mal-con-
tents; let's go now, for fun ;
next week, lets strike out
anew toward constructive
goals. so that Tacoma may
ease off on dignity and cele-
bration something accomp-
lished next year and in other
years to come.
Army posts are accustom-
ed to changes in command;
one commander goes, another
arrives. But neither Fort
Lewis nor Tacoma has fully
adjusted itself TO the idea OF
losing Maj. Gen. Walter I.
Sweeney.
To the officers and men Of
the post, Gen. Sweeney ex-
hibited qualities that lifted
him far above the level of or
binary commanding generals.
To the civilian communities
adjoining the post, Gen.
Sweeney endeared himself by

Program Ends
Good Year

College Station, Raleigh, Oct. 25.-
The 1910 triple-A grant-ofaid pro-
gram has ended and E. Y. Floyd,
AAA executive officer of N. c. State
! College, today announced the re-
suits with what he termed "a great
deal of pride for farmers of the
state"
The final figures on the amount
of grant-of-aid material used by
North Carolina under the 1910 pro-
gram are: Ground agricultural lime
stone, 229,322 tins in SO TO the states
100 counties; superphoSphate, 5,O45
| tons of the concentrated, or triple,
superphosphate and 4,918 tons Of the
20 percent phosphate in 80 counties;
and Austrian winter peas, 2,927,l00
pounds in rs counties.
These figures compare, Floyd said,
with 100000 tons of lime and $500
tons of triple superphosphate used
under the 1889 grant-of-aid pro-
gram, with 78 counties taking lime
and only q taking phosphate. No
Austrian winter peas were distribut-
ed as a grant-of-aid under the 1889
program.
County AAA officers are continu-
ing to take orders for lime and phos-
phate, but these materials will be
charged against the l941 program
| and farmers will receive payments
for using the material next fall.
Floyd expressed special pleasure
in the Austrian winter pea seed pro-
gram. Farmers usually plant 40
pounds of winter pea seed per acre,
which would mean that 1917 acres
| of North Carolina farm land will be
covered with this excellent legume
alone during the coming winter.
Vetch, crimson clover and small
grains are also being used as winter
cover crops.
Buncombe county led in orders
for lime under the 1910 grant-of-
aid program, taking 1910 tons. Only
Iredell and Northampton of all the
counties in the state failed to re-
quest lime. Ashe led in orders for
! the concentrated phosphate, taking
I1,O72 tons, but Madison was high
in total tonnage of phosphate, with
l1,138 tons Of 20 percent material
and 166 tons of triple superphos-
phate. Robson county set the pace
in orders for winter peas, receiving
256.44O pounds Of seed.

Judge Frees
Man Caught

Wilson. Oct. 25.-Judge Henry A,
\. Grady gave the undercover SyS-
tenn OF the state ABC board 4 YER
bal spanking in Superior court here
Yesterday as he ordered a verdict
of not guilty Tor a negro charged
with violation Of the liquor law.
The negro. James Harris, pleaded
not guilty to the charge OF possession
OF folu gallons of illegal liquor for
the purpose of sale.
S. S. Moody. state ABC board
agent. told the court from the stand
that he had won the confidence OF
the Negro by posing as numbers
racket operator and that after he
had bought the liquor from the
Negro for dollar he had accepted
an invitation to take a drink with
the Negro in his home.
I'm not going to let this man be
convicted" said Judge Grady. He
probably is guilty of selling this
AGENT liquor but that's no way to
Get convictions. I'm not going to con-
yict a person with evidence gotten

in any work week under provisions
Of the Fair Labor Standards Act
(Wage-hour laW).
These figures were given your re-
porter by Major \. l.. Fletcher. re-
gional director for the Wage and
Hour Division in the Carolinas.
Major Fletcher made it clear that
not all the LIS firms and l09.264
employees would, therefore, make
changes in their present wage or
hour status. Many of these concerns
arc already operating on the lO-hour
week standard With those already
under that standard the only Diff
ference will be that the overtime Is
now Il matter Of law. rather than
agreement or voluntary action Of the
employer.
The maximum work week without
overtime pay became effective Oc-
tober "a. Previously the standard was

Experts Declare Planes Fail
To Show Superiority To Ships

Italy has formidable force IN
north Africa, jabbing at Suez,
through Egypt. But this force has to
have supplies TO accomplish any
thing. 1t can get EN- only across the
Mediterranean and Mr.. Bulls lleet
controls the Mediterranean.
Italy's aviation arm is known to be
first class. 1t was expected TO put
the British Mediterranean squadron
out of business: 1t doesn't do 1t.
That, say our army folk, is because
aviation isn't what it's crccked up
to be.
Neither Gernony nor Italy can get
things they need from overseas.
They get some of them overland,
from the eastward, but not every
thing they require. The British fleet
has 'em bottled up from the Atlantic
and Mediterranean directions. Planes
can't transport big bulk commodities.
But England gets from our side OF
the water whatever stuff it wants and
can pay for. Why doesn't axis aVia-
tim put stop to it? Because, reply
or Navy critics, its task that aVa-
tic 4 isn't equal to; that takes surface
strength.
Germany is desperately anxious to
keep up its trade with South Amer
lea. German producers of their
kind Of stuff, that there's a South
American demand for, have made
coolies Of contracts with South Amer
lean concerns, promising deliveries
and undertaking TO pcnalize them
selves financially if such deliveries
aren't effected. And they can't de-
liver. The South Americans, such
as Brazil and Argentina, are SCOOP
ing in the penalties, from German
holdings in their various republic.
Planes can't make deliveries ano
they can't be made otherwise, be-
cause the British fleet won't permit
il.
That's how our navy critics eX-
plain the situation.
Cnly an Adjunct
They don't undertake, to be sure,
to dispute the vital importance Of
aviation. The point that surface
fighters (army as well as navy
make it that it's merely an arm Of
their respective services. They both
concede that either one Of them might
be fatally handicapped minus capa-
BILE flyers. They maintain, however,
that aviation's an adjunct only-juSt
like guns and ammunition.
Indeed, they frequently refer to
a bombing plane as Il projestile. or
course planes are invaluable for OBJ
servaton purposes also, but that's a
different consideration.
The plane didn't get much Of a
try-out during the last war; it wasn't
sufficiently developed then.
Military men have their minds
very well made up now.
They're fully satisfied that aVia-
ton hasn't made the surface fight
err a back number.
I think they're glad of it, A gen.
eral or an admiral naturally doesn't
like to think that some new inven-
ton has made the profession, that
he's devoted his life to, as extinct
as dodo.
