Franklin Gives Some OF His
Impressions Oh Wilmington

Jay Franklin, who recently
opened the Community Forum
course here. gathered some i'm
pressions of Wilmington during a
brief stay which he has incorpo.
rated in his syndicated column,
We, the People," a feature of the
Durham Sun.
Extracts from this particular col.
umn, which he has captioned Dix
lie After the Election. follow:
Wilmington, Nov. 17.-There' S
something about South, the
Southerners and the Southern way
of life that is just plain catnip to
a columnist.
This little town is an old seaport
on the great Sound which stretches
from the Virginia Capes to the
Florida Keys. 1t serves a pleasant
farming region and is an important
point on the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad. 1t is still proud of the
old church where CORVALLIS
stabbed his horses during the
American revolution, and is a
snug, stable, settled easy going
community with ideas of it's own
and its own way of life.
At a coffee shoppe in one of
the small hotels they serve a Spe-
cial Fish Dinner for a dollar, with
the slogan Eat AS Much AS You
Like" They NEAR it. There's no
limit on what they will give you
for your money. And it's not only
quantity but quality.
Three new delicacies are
achieving local distinction. A refu
gee from Central Europe has
taught Wilmingtonians how to
make crayfish soup of the variety
used in Budapest. It's taking the
local stomachs by storm. Then
there's a way of steaming fresh
shrimps in beer. with bay and
similar spices, which brings tears
to the eyes of those who have
tasted the dish. Another g%astrono-
mic wrinkle is ham from the hogs
in the salt marshes, fattened on
fish instead of acorns. The pork
has a delicate ~sea-food flavor.
Frankly, the South is interested
in food and along the coasts
in sea food. 1t is subject far
more important than politics or
even than business. Liquor . is
not so important.
Incomes are low, averaged, and

WHO'S GOVERNOR?

ed Michigan capitol circles.
Some said the state had its
first woman acting executive.
If it did, she is Mrs. Matilda
r. Wilson. widow of automobile
manufacturer John F. Dodge.
She was appointed lieutenant
governor this week by the 81
year-old Dickinson before he
left to attend a national anti
sl0on league convention at
Washington.
Mrs. Wilson made no attempt
today to exercise the preroga-
tives of the governors office.
Neither did Harry F. Kelly,
secretary of state, who was
said by General Thorn
as Read to be the officer upon
whom the governors duties
should devolve in Dickinson's
absence.
Read contends dickinson had

the average is tn rule. You can
live quite nicely on $3.50 or 5000 a
month. You can join the Country
Club on that income and, since
there is only one club, that means
that the shipping clerk and the
manager of the fertilizer factory
and the railway executives meet
On a plane of social democracy.
1t all makes for a pleasant, har-
monious sort of life.
They tell me tina. Willkie got
about 700 votes in Wilmington.
That's pretty high for a republi-
can, although the State went for
Hoover in 1923. But the city es-
capped most of the bitterness which
ragged in the Northern states, dur
ing the recent campaign, and is
ready to sit back and see what
happens next before giving way to
joy, sorrow or Illustration.
The greatest political issue of the
moment is the fact that sea water
has got into the reservoir, making
the city's water supply f i,ntly
brackish. This is the spearhead OF
a drive to vote o. the present
municipal administration and es-
tablish the city manager form OF
government. The move is spon-
sored by the Junior Chamber of
Commerce. 1t is. opposed, natur-
ally, by the ~adhefents of the pres
ent city administration.
Wages are low but not out of
tune with living costs. Servants
cost S. a week and board. Hourly
wages start at 80 cents an hour.
Much of the employment is sea.
sonal, due to the seasonal nature
of the fertilizer industry. They say
that Georgia and the Carolinas con.
sumo half of all the fertilizer used
in the entire nation. Reason: many
40-acre farms support farm fam
lilies; the fields never get a rest
and the soft Soil melts under ram.
Nice country. pleasant people,
easy life and once again lots of
good sea food to be picked out OF
the ocean. Northel .lers who have
moved down there from Cleveland
and Chicago and elsewhere say
they never want to go back North.
They may not make much money,
they tell me, but they and their
families have found happiness and
security in this pleasant old city
on the great Sound. l

Bedtime Stories

Dy i OAN W. SAs0Ao1'
Jerry Muskrat hadn't been so
tickled with himself, with his own
smartness. since he finished that
fine new house in the Smiling Pool.
Never since he could remember had
he taken more real pleasure in work
than he did in the digging OF this
tunnel, the tunnel from a certain
drainage ditch to that part OF
Farmer Browns garden where were
rows and rows of splendid carrots.
Jerry" said he to himself as he
worked, you are very clever
fellow. You certainly are a very
clever fellow. You are going to have
all the carrots you want for the
winter in spite of the fact that they
grow a long way from the Smiling
Pool, and you are going to get.them
with very little risk. Yes, you GER
tainly are clever"
All the time Jerry kept right on
digging, stopping only to eat and
sleep. He wasted no time. Jerry is
a great believer in thrift, and ne
knows that wasting time is one OF
the worst kinds of thriftlessness.
Jerry is one of those wise persons
who. once having started a thing,
keep at it until it is finished. So
the tunnel grew and grew until at
last Jerry felt sure he must be right
under those delicious carrots which
were growing in rows and rows. So
he began to dig up and presently he
popped right out of the ground just
where he wanted to among the
carrots. Then far enough back to
be quite safe he dug snug little
storeroom just to one side and con-
nected with the tunnel.
All this time Reddy Fox had been
growing worse and worse tempered.
You remember it was he who had
first told Jerry about those carrots.
Reddy remembered it too, and every
time he thought of it he ground his
teeth. Every time he visited those
carrots, he saw where Jerry Muskrat
had dug some up. He was sure that
Jerry got there by means of the
little drainage bitches which Farmer
Brown had dug long ago to drain
his land of water when there was too
much, and carry it off to the Laugh
ing Brook.
At first he thought it would be an
easy matter to catch Jerry All he
would have to do would be to watch
at a place in the drainage ditch
where there was no overhanging
grass. Jerry would have to pass
there, and then all he, Reddy. would
need to do would be to spring right
down on Jerry's back. So he found
just such place and then lay
down on the bank and watched and
watched. He watched in the night
and he watched in the daytime,
but never once did he catch so
much as glimpse of Jerry Muskrat.
You see this was during the time
that Jerry was digging that tunnel,
and so didn't 60 back to his home
in the Smiling Pool.
Then one moonlight night. after
watching until his patience was at
an end, Reddy trotted over to the
place where the carrots grew, and
there in the moonlight between two
rows sat Jerry Muskrat. The sight
was so unexpected that it actually
startled Reddy. 1t startled him so
that he made a little noise. Jerry
turned and saw him.
