And everywhere, through hill and
vale,
Rare loveliness she spreads.
rss fashions skies of indigo
And washes them with rain.
u.r sweet breath ripples into waves
Tho graceful, golden grain.
With fairy wax she polishes
The needles of the pine.
,bo naints the flowers of the field
with delicate design.
Fanh ere SHE hui 10 ~ Sol III eiiS sun
From regions far on high.

In orderly array;
All through the night they gayly
dance
Along the Milky-Way.
And then along the sable ways
Thev she'd their twinkling light
To guide the steps of Queen Dian,
The priestess of the night.
Oh. Beauty, thou who TOUGHEST all
With artistry divine,
Come, with mystic loveiiness,
And touch this heart of mine!

The Wilmington morning star., 1940-02-15

The application to build a marine railway
and wharf on the inland waterway at or near
Southport, filed by JAMES FRASER Of that
community, indicates that the applicant be-
lieves the waterway in this vicinity is good
for something besides a stop overnight fol-
passing craft.
Failure to utilize the banks of the stream
more generally for industry, with the volume
Of water-borne commodities steadily increas
ing, is a source of wonderment among visi
tors who are used to seeing their home
streams developed for trade and their banks
used for plants of a hundred sorts.
This is not to overlook the fertilizer fac
tories which have been established alona
the inland waterway, nor to minimize thei,
Importance. It is merely to regret the DELAY
in creating more industry there, and to com
mend the foresight and business acumen Of
Mr.. FRASER.
May his venture serve as a decoy for othe,
projects, so that the waterway hereabouts
may become a center of trade, instead of q
means of getting somewhere else.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-02-15
PREPAREDNESS

GoD forbid that Wilmington should ever
need disaster relief, but it is solacing to
know that should such an emergency come.
the city will be prepared to meet it.
Mrs. IDA B. SPEIDEN's announcement that
disaster preparedness committees are forming
and will be trained for exacting service
(Which we devoutly hope may never be re.
quired) is we'll calculated to create a sense
OF security in which everybody may share.
These groups, with their sub-servers, will
be ready if tornado, hurricane, fire or flood
visits the vicinity, to provide food, shelter,
clothing and transportation to victims; to
raise funds, give medical aid, attend to hos
pitalization, and conduct all relief measures
Systematically.
If Wilmington were to be hit by such a dis.
aster, for example, as Albany, Georgia, ex-
perienced a few days ago, the organization
now being perfected would be on the job
promptly.
The Red Cross, which is sponsoring the
project, deserves the gratitude of all Will.
m~ingtonians for it's enterprise. And it de.
serves Wilmingtonians' support and coopera.
ton as we'll.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-02-15

how overzealousness can backfire and that prin'
cipals and their respective supporters must be
exceedingly wary of their conduct with six
candidates and their causes having SO many
differently geared ears, eyes ana mouths anout
the state.
Thus accepting the situation, as it there were
anything we could do about it anyway, the
Daily News does find itself going right on
cogitating upon the paradoxical ways of a gov
eminent that insists upon the protection, and
rightly so, of workers in private employment
hut refrains from placing restrictions upon its
own employing relationship. A private employ
er who even mentions a labor election invites
a run-in with the NLRB, and. as Mr.. Fori
can well testify, is told he must cease and de
sist in such influence or pressure. A govern
ment official can Suggest" campaign contri
buttons for a candidatorial favorite and, ever
when the offending is admitted, receive a
worst a slap on the wrist. Sure, we know;
is an entirely different approach. SEE who?
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-02-15
FIRE

TT REQUIRED a blaze in the heart OF the
1 business district to focus attention on
fragrant violations of the fire ordinances.
cupied by the Dixie cafe, firemen were handl'
capped by bottles and trash piled high on
stairways in adjoining buildings, and by high
voltage wires at the rear.
SAYS Mayor CooPERs 9TH fire regulations
are going to be enforced if it takes arrests
to do it." and 1.-THE electric wires should be
put underground where they will no longer
menace life"
TIL mayor further says that inspectors will
Immediately survey all business property and
insist that every hazard, including blockading
of stairways and windows, be removed.
While it is gratifying to find the city au'
thorities aroused to action in the interest OF
fire prevention, 1t is to be regretted that the
spur to action had to be a fire-a fire which
with a few minutes more headstart would
have spread to surrounding property.
Regular inspections at frequent intervals,
with severe penalties imposed for noncompli'
ance with inspectors orders, is an obvious
need. Had this custom been in force, bottles
and trash would not have impeded the fire.
men in their duty at the Dixie cafe. That it
was not in force seems indicated by the great
accumulation of debris, which must have re.
quired much time to assemble.
Property owners should consider that their
W economic security will be better assured
if they voluntarily remove all fire hazards.
AS for overhead wires, the Star-News re-
Gently pointed out that their presence is a
hazard. They should go underground, as the
mayor says. And there should be no unneces'
sary delay in getting them there.
