Wildcats did everything in the
book and did it right last night as
they came out of their losing
streak and downed a sluggish
Goldsboro eleven by a 10 to G
score in a game which was an al.
most entire repetition of last years
game which the 'Quakes won by
the same score on their home field
Going into the game with a sure
defense against passes and their
own attack clicking with clock
like precision, the Wildcats, led by
the hard running Horton ano
Stands. the passing of Horton and
Jennings Edwards, with Stands
and Bobby Edwards receiving
swept the 'Quakes before them
throughout the entire game. The
Goldsboro lads led by McClenny
and D. Bizzel did not get close
enough to the Wilmington goal tt

The Wildcats marked up three
first downs in the first period
against one for the visitors and
completed two passes of four at
tempted to bring the large CROWD
of fans to their feet yelling them
selves hoarse. Late in the second
period the locals started a touch
down drive when Fred Day inter
cepted McClenny's forward on the
New Hanover 40 and brought il
up to the Goldsboro 40. Horton got
8 and j. Edwards added S. Stands
sprinted through tackle for 7 and
a first down. Horton on three runs
off guard and tackle added l;
yards and another first. j. Ed.
wards got 2 and Horton added
more and a first down. Stands
failed to gain, but j. Edwards
made 4 yards on a lateral. Hor.
ton dropped back and shot a long
pass to Stands who was sleeping
out on the left sideline and the
latter went across the goal I'm.
touched for 20 yards and the first
touchdown. Todd's attempted
placement was low.
The locals scored twice in the
fourth period. Holt blocked Nc
Clenny's kick on the Goldsboro 40
and recovered it on the latter's 20
yard line. Fuller failed to gain,
but Stands and Horton added 2
yards. Jennings Edwards sent a
long pass to Bobby Edwards for
II yards and the second touch
down. On a fake placement Hor-
ton passed to B. Edwards for the
extra point.
Late in the period Stands cap
ped his fine playing by intercept
ing McClenny's pass on the Colds
boro 43 and outdistanced the field
for the final touchdown. Todd again
missed his try for extra point.
Merritt and Day stood out on de-
tense for the Wildcats with G.. Biz

Goldsboro lads. The Wildcats made
a total of 10 first downs to Colds

A Thought for Today
Not the Cost - The Upkeep

Let's not be deluded about this thing
called defense. It's not something you
can manage all at once by a vote in
Congress or a sweep of the presidential
pen. The time for signing, There, that's
DONE" has not yet arrived. What has
been accomplished so lar is only a start.
Army and navy officials are trying 10
make that clear to everyone. The sacrl-
fees have not yet begun. Congress has
appropriated Is billion dollars for defense
twice as much as both the army ana
navy received during the l5-year perlod
between 1925 and 1910
A war machine has to be kept up.
Large grants must be set aside for sup
plies, equipment and man power. New
funds must be provided each yea to keep
the machine up to date For unless 1t is
kept up to date, it will be hardly worth
starting. No one is prepared to say just
how much good sound defense program
is going to cost on an annual basis. The
Division of Industrial Economics of the
National Industrial Conference Board
recently concluded that Americans could
divert as much as II to 10 billions year
from their national income to defense
purposes. The experts conceded such a
financial schedule would leave the coun-
try pretty much on subsistence basis,
but it could be done.
1t probably won't cost that much. De-
Tense officials understand that total
defense consists not only of guns and
tanks and naval vessels and airplanes
but also of reasonable contentment
among the people in their way of life.
They realize that the manner in which
American democracy operates must be
kept attractive enough to warrant the
Sacrifices demanded. America can build
a defense machine as mighty, as efficient
as the Nazi machine of aggression. But
there will be difference
The sacrifices that will be borne will
be dictated by the people, not by any
overload. The bill for our safety will be
incurred by the representatives of the
people and will not be levied against us
by any empirical leader. Above all, we
are still democratic enough to defend our
selves without giving up all the reasons
for that defense. We know what it's 60
ing to cost. We have decided it's worth
the price.

Minor Pollution

According to Professor Gordon M. Fair
of Harvard University pollution OF
streams in moderate degree is not harm
full to fish life, but on the contrary does
it much good. It's only when ''over-pol-
luton" is encountered that serious
trouble begins and water courses no
longer are able to support fish life or can
be used for purposes, such as bathing.
This is a new theory and one that we
have never heard advanced before. But
it's hard to see how stream can be pol
luted in any degree but major one if the
abuse continues indefinitely.
If it's community that is polluting
the stream by emptying raw sewage into
it or an industry dumping solids or water
wastes that contain acids or other injur-
ious matter there is bound to be damage
to whatever form of life exists in the
water. If there is line of demarcation
between damage and benefit, then it's
high time that big cities were being in
formed about this. For example, Water
bury wouldn't mind knowing just how
much sewage it might dump into the
Nauagtuck River without interfering
with the flow of the stream which still
costs the city pretty penny annually.

OF Space and Time

There are relations of time and space
which have been plumbed by Professor
Einstein, but which we ordinary
humans cannot fathom Yet even
we can feel small and insignificant some
times when we consider the heavens
which declare the glory of Cod" There
is something humbling about the vast
ness of space Those whose time is spent
in exploring it come to a different con-
ception of time itself. They learn pa
thence.
One stands little in awe, for instance,
of those astronomers at the Lick Observa-
tory who are beginning a series of OBJ
servations which will conclude in the year
2015. They are now in the midst of a
four-year task of making certain star
photographs of the Milky Way. Seventy
five years from now, in 2015, the series
will be repeated, and comparison of the
plates is expected to show new truths
about the rotation of the vast galaxy of
which all our common stars are part.
They will all be gone in 2O15, these OBJ
servers squirting SO earnestly through
their telescopes today. But the quest for
truth of which they are a part will go on.
Men hasten feveriShly down their brief
course, but Truth can wait.

1856 Pounds of Blueprints

One little phrase sometimes lights up
situation like flash of lightning Such
a phrase from K. T. Keller, head of
Chrysler, which is about to build tanks,
gives good clew to the difficulties of
arms production, and hint as to why
it seems SO slow. Keller tells of visit
to the Rock Island arsenal. 1--WE came
home" he says, with 1876 pounds of blue
prints 1t took 1877 men four weeks to ana
lyze the whole building and production
layout, and cost about 100000. We made
each piece of the tank out of wood :. !.
painted the pieces ;. we then put the
whole tank together without scratching
bit of paint :. tribute to the splendid
design work of the army men. /. 1t has
everything in it from locomotive to
Swiss watch"
A tank, like most of the machinery of
modern war, is complicated :. :. 1856 pounds
of blueprintS :. everything from loco
motive to Swiss watch. It can be done,
and it is jolly well being done. But that
one little flash shows why we must think
in terms of months, rather than weeks
and days.

Covered Testing Lanes

Figures available now show that very
large proportion of the motor vehicles of
this state passed through the testing
lanes during the summer months. The
first period of inspection starting late
and then being prolonged makes the Sec
ond official inspection seem like con-
tinuation OF the other. No doubt this
inconvenience will have been removed by
the time that 1941 rolls around
Now it is being proposed that the per-
rnanent testing lanes be covered so that
motorists won't be subjected TO the
weather discomforts we're apt to en-
counter In the remaining months OF 1940
This Is very good idea, but sounds like
an expensive one. In view OF the fact that
the testing lane fee Is small and the state
is endeavoring TO have the service put
on pay-as-you-go basis there hardly
seems any chance OF such an innovation
oeing tried out right away.
Should the l04i Legislature hearken

SPEAKER BANKHEAD
(New York Times)

(NeW YORK .11meS)
Speaker Bankhead was predeStin-
ed to politics. His father and brother
with both United States Senators.
He himself established a political
career long before the New Deal was
ever heard of. But it was as a
thick and-th supporter of Presi-
dent Rosevelt's policies that he at
tanned national prominence. What
ever misgivings he had were rarely
registered in a vote, and his skillful
Cancellation eaSed the way for most
of the must" legislation of recent
years.
Born on a plantation in the cy-
press swamplands in the long
shadow cast by the War Between
the States, william Brockman
Bankhead developed into curious
mixture of the old and new, the
courtly Southern gentleman and
the aStutely realistic scenter of
fresh political winds. His back
ground and traditions were those of
the Southern aristocracy. A brief
excursion toward the footlights was
promptly vetoed by his mother, but
this boyiSh ambition was vicariously
realized in later years through the
stage career of his daughter Tai
lulah. His training in politics, Curl
ously enough, was that of Tammany
Hall. AS a young lawyer here he
entered the Wigwam and ranged the
warpath for Van Wyck from Doy-
ers street in Chinatown to Doyle's
bar on Fourteenth street.
Back home In Alabama he began
the long climb to Congress, arriving
In 1917. He made 1t hts first JOB

SECRET BRITISH WEAPON
Britain's new secret anti-air-
craft weapon, which is described
as neither "gun, ray, nor balloon"
is the most ingenious defense in
strument the war has yet devised
according to military reports re-
ceived here.
1t consists of a shell which
when fired by an anti-air-
craft gun, explodes at desired
level and releases a new kind
of gas. This gas has the same
density as air and does not
dissipate. 1t hold together and
constitutes sort of invisible
balloon. The gas is harmless
except when it expIodes, and
then it possesses tremendous de-
structiye power.
Explosion is by ignition. An air.
plane engine roaring through one
of these gas masses igniteS it
and causes an explosion which
tears the plane to pieces. That
is the way the British are re-
ported to be using it.
LABOR AND DEFENSE
Communities seeking. new de-
tense industries might find valu-
able lesson in what nearly be-
fell the town of Gadsden, Ala.
The Army decided to build
shell plant there. But when
this reached labor officials, they
entered vehement protests. Rea-
