a million persons file applications
for civil service positions. Less
than half Of these pass the exam
nations. Many who fail TO pass
do so because Of inadequate prep
aration.
In addition to clerical and
trades examinations, the Civil
Service Commission holds many
examinations for professional and
scientific positions. These posi-
lions require the same kind Of
training and experience which
thoughtful citizens demand Of
professional workers in private
employment.
When you go to a private physi.
clan you want one who Is compe-
tent to do good job. That is
what Uncle Sam expects Of his
employees.
About 10000 persons receive
federal appointments each year.
The examination requirements are
practical. They are also sufi1-
GENTLY high to obtain employees
fully competent to render satis-
factory service TO the American
people.
When a person Is appointed to
q federal position, there are a
number Of ways to get ahead
These are not particularly differ
ent from the requirements met
by successful individuals in pri-
vate life.
/. DO your present Job we'll.
Countless individuals In the fed
eral service hold high admins
trative positions who not many
years ago were pounding a type
writer or adding columns Of fig
urts. They did good work. Pro-
mcsions followed. Today they
reap the reward Of doing their
first Job better than their COM
petito.s.
z Prepare for the Job ahead.
Some day, perhaps soon. the Job
ahead will be vacant. Then the
born will look around for someone
to fill 1t. The position may re-
quire special knowledge; get this
knowledge. 1t may require train
ing in business school or univer-
sity; get 1t.
Find out what you need to fill
tho Job ahead and prepare ac-
cordingly. Be ready when the OPP
portunity comes.
3. Always be dependable. When
Ebert Hubbard wrote "A Message
to Garcia" he emphasized daily
need in every American Office and
work shop-dependability.
When you give your word, keep
It, When you are assigned to
task, finish 1t In a satisfactory
way. Get a reputation for being
and 1t will bring cash
returns and satisfaction returns.
4. Safeguard your health. An
employe who Is constantly re-
porting sick is not much Of a
business asset. Modern COMPETE
ton requires the services of en-
ergetic employees capable of regu-
larry doing full days work. This
Is possible only Is an employee
guards one OF his most previous
poesessfons-his health.
3. Get along with people. This

and navy expect to achieve with
this money in the next 10 months
an army vastly stronger in mod
ern weapons, navy approaching
the power OF the worlds greatest,
the British fleet.
Most Of the 5000 ,000, 900, under
present plans will be spent by De-
cember 81, l94l, and data were COM
piled on the results expected by
then. Present plans, Of course, are
subject to unlimited change, II the
war danger to this country becomes
acute. President Roosevelt has
asked congress, for example, to plan
program of $4,000 U. S. army and
navy warplanes. Present plans call
for about $4,000 actual planes by
Dec. 81, l94l. But If war came, the
nation probably would drive toward
the $4,000 goal much faster. All
other phases Of national defense
preparations would be tremendously
increased.

But barring drastic changes In
the present program, here are the

condition of the Army and Navy

Arbitration The Solution

There is a growing belief in this country that
the increasing strikes in industries connected
with defense are the result Of communist agit-
alton. Reds and Nazis are said to be in COM
plete harmony and because the Communists
have more and better laborers in their ranks
the job is disturbing labor peace has been as
signed to them.
No definite proof of this has reached the
public, but the theory is at least plausible.
Il has been conclusively established that the
Browder following is strong and that despite
the severing of ties with Moscow the Com
munist party in the United States has not
changed its principles, chief among which is
to overthrow democratic government here II
that is humanity possible. If they are in league
with the Nazis to handicap our defense effort
through strikes, they will be fmctioning in a
normal manner.
But more important even than diagnosing
the cause of strikes is the problem of prevent
ing them at this crucial time. This is the
nations No. / problem just now. Surely there
can be found a way to bring issues between
industry and labor to the council table for
arbitration and have production continue dur
ing the period necessary for discussion. It is
imperative that industry be subjected to no tie
ups, no delays, when speed is the very main
spring of our national security.

No Dumping

Greenfield park represents Wilnington's
major landscaping undertaking. Its beautifica.
ton has been a work Of love by a consecrated
group and the results have been out of all
proportion to the money available for the
work. So much has been achieved with so
little cash that one wonders what wizardv Law
behind the effort.
This work will go on with ever increasing
rewards because of the earnest determination
OF the Greenfield Drive Association to create
a park which will gain a creditable rating by
comparison with parks in cities of much larger
size and with greater financial support. 1t is
important, therefore, that every person in the
community cooperate to the extent of using
the park as a place of recreation, and not as
a dumping ground.
There has recently been manifest a pre-
disposition in some quarters to dump trash
and refuse of all sorts in the vicinity Of the
park, thus creating an eyesore in an otherwise
beautiful environment. Some offenders appar.
emily did not realize the seriousness of their
action and have been quick to remove the

Highway No. II

The present widening operations on highway
No. II southwark from the Onslow county
line are to extend for only 10 miles in the
direction of Wilmington. It had been the pur-
pose to widen the entire mileage to this city,
but it is now announced there probably will
rot be money enough available to complete
the project.
soon to be created in an area served by this
highway it seems that the officials with the
project in charge are obligated by public mill
tary necessity to find funds for increasing the
width throughout the entire length Of til e
original project. -..
Highway, No. II will be required to accom-
modate a tremendous increase in its ordinary
traffic load. Unless it is materially widenec
and reinforced it inevitably will become an
ccident trap and deliveries of materials need
for the anti-aircraft post will be under
heavy handicap.
Another important reason for raising the
standard of the highway is that if it is to be
used in z military emergency it must be
trustworthy and safe and capable Of bearing
the strain mechanical military equipment will
place upon it. Anti-aircraft guns are heavy
and their emergency transport must be pro-
vided for. Military equipment in these days
is mobile. Stationary forts and batteries are a
thing of the past. Guns must be shunted quick
ly from one exposed point to another. This
can be done only over roads with sound founda-
tons and ample width.
The Holly Shelter anti-aircraft base will
achieve only a part of its purpose unless it
has access to a coastal highway capable of
meeting its every need. The present plan to
shoulders on only 10 miles of No. II south
ward from the Onslow county line is totally
inadequate to meet the need. To meet the
need, it should be rebuilt from Norfolk to the
Southern terminus.
