From Other Angles
FARMERS
GOIdsbOrO Argus

Hugh MacRae, Wilmington real estate opef-
ator, is back of a plan to estaollsn d eonony
of. Jewish refugees from Germany OIL lam
at Van Eden, near Willard in Pendef county
Five families already have taken up tnef
residence at Van Eden. Ten addltlonal iah1l!ies
will move to the colony as soon as housing
accommodations can be provided.
Founder of the colony, settleo III ieeenl
weeks. is DR.. Alvin johnson Of New York city.
He is listed as sponsor of the colony:
A staff of experienced farmers Will lhs'iucl
the refugees in farming.
Tbis is The eighth colonization effort by
MacRae. At Castle Hayne Poles and Russians
have developed a thriving colony; at another
point the Dutch settlers have mace thelr way
at New Berlin in Columbus county MacRae
placed a colony of Germans.
Most of the groups previously taxing up
land as colonists have made valuable contrl-
buttons to the farming practices OF this Sec
ton. Farmers joining the colonists have done
much to establish and extend the pulp ana
flower industry. The colonists nave brought
new ideas. new ways Of farming, new exam
pies of splendid thrift and determination. Inc
groups have had a leavening erect upon the
sections in which they settled.
Tn no instance has a MacRae colony enter
ed into direct competition with old-line farm
in Eastern Carolina. BY that we mean farm
ing which depends too largely upon TOBACCO
and cotton to pay it's way and support the
farmer and his family. The colonists prefer
first to make their land make a living for
them: to develop a number of sources of in
come and cash rather than to depend on one
or two. The COW and the hog and the hen get
particular attention from the colonists.
For this type of farming there is a chance
in eastern North Carolina; for this type of
farming there is room. Thousands of acres OF
land are available.
The fifteen families booked for Van Eden
may be the forerunner Of a larger group that
will play an important part in developing this
section agriculturally in the years to come.

BRITISH CABINET CHANGE

The reason for HoRE-BEIIsHA's removal
from the post of war minister by Premier
CHAMBERLAIN is so carefully concealed in dis
patches announcing the event that inquisitive
souls will join the London Herald in won
dering what in the world has been going
on-behind the ~scenes?"
The only hint vouchsafed is that his ap-
proval of GAMELIN as commander in chief of
the Allied armies was not endorsed by his
own officers. On the other hand, it is gen.
orally agreed that he injected large doses
of pep into his department and that his or
ganizatlon for war was speedily and eff
GENTLY effected. To the uninitiated this would
seem to offset endorsement of GAME1IN, es-
pecially as the Frenchman is accepted gener-
ally as a shining example of capable military
leadership.
Neither of these facts, the only ones dis
closed by the dispatches, satisfactorily ex-
plains a cabinet shakeup at a time when
Great Britain has finally halted Germany's
sea depredations and is preparing for a major
land offensive when winter passes.
Disclosure Of the true reasons for his Off
cial decapitation must await CHAMBERLA1N's
pleasure, and CHAMBERLAIN is a secretive
man. But with interest in Britain's war pro-
gram resembling a child's shifting at the

gesture if he gave tongue to the motive for
the HoRE- BEL1sHA dismissal.

A GOOD SIGN

1t is as natural to look for signs of i'm
provement ahead by examining what went
before as it is for birds to seek their food,
inch by inch, across their feeding grounds.
Often enough, the results are as surprising
as when a bird finds a particularly fat worm
where it had least reason to expect anything
tasty.
A case in point is offered by the state
motor vehicle bureau, which reports registra-
ton Of fifty per cent more cars and trucks
during 1899 than in 1888. Certificates were
issued last year for 1926 automobiles, as
against 1892 the year before. Not so great
was the increase in trucks, but here too a
considerable increase, from $500 to 1856,
was noted. An interesting sidelight is af-
forded in the fact that automobile registra-
lions in December, 1924, were the greatest
in the year. Old SANTA was on the job with
a vengeance.
There is but one deduction: More money.
More money last year reasonably means bet
ter times this year.

AN APPROPRIATE TRIBUTE

THE County Commissioners proposal that
L the River road be named in memory of
RICHARD A.. BURNETT comes most appropriate
ly. and the State Highway and Public Works
Commission will certainly respond favorably
to the suggestion.
1t must be remembered that the state was
not always in charge of the roads. Captain
wide, played an unassuming but important
part in the creation of New Hanover's road
system-a system built with funds raised by
the levying of countrywide property taxes.
Wisdom and experience, combined with
honesty and diligence, are priceless assets IN
ment.
In the early days of the depression, long
before the New Deal had turned to public
works projects as a relief measure, men and
women who had jobs banded together to
form the Wilmington Relief association, con-
tributing one days pay each month to a
fund for the employment of their jobless fel-
low men. No money was wasted on admins
tration costs. Every dollar was to be spent
giving work. And it was decided to con
struct a community drive around Greenfield
lake.
Location of the five-mile roadway present
ed a real problem. Hundreds of dollars could
have been expended on surveys, for the
scenic value of a properly located road was
obviously a primary consideration.
It was our privilege, as a newspaper man
with engineering experience, to serve as rod
man, stake driver and general utility man
as Capt. DICK, accompanied by Mr.. F. A.
MATTHEs and Mr.. GEORGE g.. KIDDER, officials
of the relief association, "located' Commun-
ity Drive. His practiced eye quickly Judged
cuts and fills as the party walked rapidly
around the meandering shores of the beauti-
full lake. Branches were broken from trees
along the way to mark the scores of curves
Not a transit or a level was in sight. An
unusually wide bayou, created by a stream
flowing into the lake, occasionally interrupt
ed but never stopped the progress of the
with Mr.. K1DDER and Mr.. MATTHEs, a few
branches thrust into the ground by the re-
porter-rodman-and the causeway or bridge
was "located."
Community Drive was finally completed.
The most expert landscape and highway en-.
gineers could not have made a more prac
ticable use of its shores as a roadway to re.
veal the lakes beauty. Community Drive has
even outlived it's early sobriquet Hoover
Road-and Captain DICK BURNETT is dead

worked and the men he aided along LIES

THE BUDGET FIGHT

The drumfire of a lively battle over ap-
preparations disturbs the Sabbath calm of the
~capitols corridors. AS expected, the Presi-
dents budgetary recommendations were quick
to draw fire, not only from the opposition
but among democratic members of congress
not in full accord with his administration, as
we'll.
Opinions are many and diverse. The one
which appears to have most adherents is
that Mr.. ROOSEVELT did not hit bedrock, as
he claimed, in fixing amounts for govern
mental departments. Another is that new tax
alton for national defense, in the sum of
$3.50, O00, 900, is irreconcilable with the pro.
gram of economy the President has pro.
claimed.
So strong is the feeling that the budget
figures do not represent actual requirements
that one group of senators, headed by PAT
HARRISON, chairman of the finance commit
tee, has suggested that a 24-man joint senate
house committee devote two months to a sur
vey Of budget and tax needs before any
appropriations are considered in open SEES
sions. The proposal is not favored by the
rank and file of the house because it would
interrupt the schedule laid down by house
leaders to take up one piece of major legisla-
ton each week; but Representative TABOR
New York republican, gives it tacit approval
by saying he would welcome any study that
would tend to show what the situation is
Obviously the hoped for brief, peaceful
session is not ahead. No subject provokes
such heated or protracted debate as taxation
and appropriations. Despite the approach Of
q national election, with members anxious
to get home to their private knitting, it is
reasonable to believe the closing session Of
the present congress will drag it's devious
course through the spring and possibly into
midsummer.
If the congress earnestly seeks enlighten
ment on the financial state of the union
that it may draft a financial program offer
ing relief to the taxpayers, the American
people would welcome the effort. however

CAPTAIN r.. A. BURNETT

Dear Sir:
Captain R. A. Burnett, known to
all New Hanover county, by the
high and the low as Capt'in Dick, a
man of integrity and sterling quail
ties.
During the first days of the de-
preston when men were being cut
from pay rolls, it was Capt'in Dick
who came to the front and gave the
suggestion of building a road, or
driveway around beautiful Green
field Lake, in order to give employ
ment. The county started the work,
and all business houses were asked
to have each employee give one
days salary out of the month to-
wards this work, the money thus
collected to be used in paying the
men, who received one dollar per
day, working one, two or three days
as per their dependents, per week,
But the greatest work that Capt'in
Dick did was not supervising the
work. but in giving the men a help

that's fine, we are getting through
when the vines, briars, bush and
swamps were almost impossible
with the tools with which they had
to work with. Many and many a
day during the cold days Of the first
winter, it was Capt'in Dicks kind
words of sympathy which made a
man stand by and carry on, when
| most of these men felt like giving
up and committing a crime, but just
the head shake of Capt'in Dicks,
or one of his serious looks, was all
that was necessary, as underneath
this serious face Capt'in Dick was
understanding, and within his
bosom a heart as big as the out
doors. Although Capt'in Dick has
gone Beyond, his memory still lin
gers with those whom he befriend-
ed. He Vas a man of love, sym
