THE PAPERS

The Daily news bewilders one
With both despair and hope;
II tells OF anguish and OF fun,
And then there's inside dope
Full OF predictions. right and
wrong,
nv writer's who persist
In preaching their views loud and
long.
Behold. the columnist
Who knows all things; they're real
~ bright.
or that's what they profess,
And they're not stumped IL never
right;
They blithely second guess.
Europe's diplomatic intrigue,
And wars a spreading flame:
The Tigers do not top the league
Amt that dirty shame, go. -.
And politics is running rife:
Bandwagons pick up speed:
We're promised more abundant
life
With everything we need.
While COPS say willkie's sense
Is needed in this land
That mounting debts and botched
defense
Are getting out OF hand.
The Democrats paint Franklin u
A big warm-hearted soul
Who dearly loves both you and me
Our welfare ie his goal.
Then some say their solicitude
Is only for our votes,
We're saps and suckers, frank,
viewed:
The Common folks are goats.
So I'm bewildered by the News;
II brings despair and hope
And seems to this poor person
views
A huge Kaleidoscope
Events so swiftly turn glimpse
IL all that | can get:
IL seems I'm one OF many simps
Who don't know all things yet.

Unfortunately, there seems q
mistaken belief on the part OF mary
citizens OF the West Side that the

WILMINGTON'S OPPORTUNITY

THE national defense program, now taking
4 quick form, will have to include bases
for the training of both air and infantry
forces.
These bases will be at strategic points, best
situated for utilization in any war emergency.
Primarily established to teach men to fly war
planes and maneuver in land operations, they
will inevitably play an important part in de-
Tense if the nation is called upon to preserve
its separate existence.
Naturally, in planning these new bases
the federal authorities, depending on the
advice of military experts, will select sites
best fitted to serve the two purposes. 1t is,
therefore. appropriate to direct attention to
the desirability and availability of southeast.
ern North Carolina for the establishment of
both air and military c%enters, and the advis.
ability of using the area for the protection If
a long stretch of seacost which otherwise
force.
Brunswick county, because of the sheltered
waters around Southport, it's water-bordered
level lands-both affording unexcelled land
ing and maneuvering places for air and sea
planes-and For. Caswells existing buildings,
all of which could be made use of, is to be
considered as a serious contender for airbase
improvement when the time comes for plac.
ing pins in the nations military maps.
AS for military bases, the south offers no
better sites than can be found in Onslow,
Fender, Bladen, Columbus and Brunswick
counties. Hundreds of thousands of acres are
already cleared and stumped in these counties
and await only the arrival of engineers to
map camps, maneuver areas and the other
sundry requirements for the training of me.
chanized forces.
These items in the defense scheme can all
be acquired if there is a concerted drive by
the leadership Of the communities therein.
Because it is the largest community in the
region and best equipped to serve as supply
and distribution point, Wilmington must take
the leadership in a campaign at the national
capital, not only among the states congress.
sional delegation but in the War and Navy
departments and at the White House as we'll.
This is another way in which Wilmington's
aroused leadership can demonstrate its value.
The opportunity is here. 1t but remains to
take advantage of it.

BEACH BOND ELECTION

Voters of Carolina Beach will be given op-
portunity on July Is to express their opinion
on an $87, 900 bond issue for construction of a
sewer system and a municipal building. This
is the community's share in projects which
will involve an outlay of $3.50, 900. The diff
ference between the two amounts in to be
borne by the WPA, which is already commit
ted to the undertaking and awaits only the
go-ahead signal from the beach voters to start
work.
It is important that eligible voters consider
that the bulk of the money to be provided by
the Works Progress Administration will go
for labor, from which workers of the COM
munity and nearby areas will be chief bene.
~ficiaries. That is to say, the larger share of
the cost of the two projects, which in them
selves will place Carolina Beach in a more
advantageous situation, will go for p~ayrolls,
in the spending of which every business
house in the community will find profit.
Surely, with this money available for dis.
tribution in return for labor, and for material
needed on the jobs, beach voters may be ex.
pected to give the bond proposal their ap

It is understood that authorities in charge
of the election are especially DESTROYS that
nonresident property owners participate in
the poll. This is a privilege all eligible voters
should be glad to exercise.
