A GARDEN PROJECT

MYTH spring in the offing, despite the
w present cold snap, it is fitting to pay
advance tribute to the annual pilgrimages
sponsored by the Garden Clubs OF North
Carolina. These tours, which take in the
states leading cities, have borne fruit In
many ways, among which wider interest IN
gardens and more knowledge of garden pos
sibilities by greater numbers of home-makers
take precedence.
Wilmington has done its share Tor pilgrims
from over the state and is set to increase
it's usefulness when the visitors arrive this
year a week in advance of Holy Week. With
Orion at it's l~oveliest, and private gardens
bv the score in full bloom, visitors are as
sured a vision that will linger in memory
for a month of Sundays. The Cape Fear Gar
den club, local sponsor of the pilgrimage,
again will justify the high esteem in which
it has always been held as host to the visi.
tors.
It is felt by a large group Of the city's
well-wishers that something might be done to
give Wilmington greater leadership in gar
den development. The thought is that the
! oG10h ~ "AeA SASoG AVA 0SASA~
undertake a major garden project at Green
field lake, turning tie shores into Towering
beds, and so furnish a nucleus as we'll as in
spiration for private enthusiasts. Certainly
there is no more appropriate site for such
a development. And assuredly there would
be no greater attraction for visitors.
Washington has realized on its opportunity
in its parks, with result that many thou.
sands go there specifically to revel in their
spring beauty. Charleston, to cite a nearby
example, is also host to thousands at azalea
time. Mobile, too, entertains hordes, drawn by
its azalea trail.
Wilmington could become equally famous,
equally sought out by lovers of garden beau
ty. Its azaleas are fully as beautiful as any.
where in the South.
The need is for their exploitation and for
the exploitation of Greenfield park, as the
link in the city's garden chain.

SALUTE TO

Within the cylinders of your automobile,

a spark, knocking down the piston head

are r~arities in public print labored for years
to discover something that, when added to
gasoline, would burn" rather than explode,
thus forcing down the piston head without
loss Of efficiency thr Ugh high temperatures

gasoline to push cars along steadily, not

HIGHWAY

North Caroline made noticeable progress
IN Its highway system in 1889. Improvement
resulted not only in travel conditions but in
safety.
w. VANCE BA1sE, state highway engineer,
notes In his review of the departments &C.
co~mpl1shments, the widening and relocating
OF many trunkline highways in poorly de.
signed sections, which had become obsolete
because OF narrow pavements and bridges,
sharp horizontal and short vertical curves
with insufficient sight distance.
with highways bearing an ever increasing
burden OF traffic, such work is essential. If
we are ever to cut highway deaths below
wars tragic toll. That it is going forward
IN North Carolina at SO splendid a rate is a.
matter Tor congratulation.
IL Is also a spur to further improvements

record of 1899. With its W example to fol.

TAFT'S SHOOTING IS WILD

We hold no brief for the administrators
spending policies. But we believe Mr.. TArr's
prescription for balancing the budget lacks
even the recommendation of academic sound.
ness.
Mr.. TAFT, speaking at Chicago, in behalf
Of his candidacy for the presidency, offered
a five-point program by the adoption of
which, he contended, the budget could be
balanced in two years at seven billion dol
lars. None offers anything new.
First he declares the President must be
determined to balance the budget. Mr..
ROOSEVELT has said that he entertained this
determination, but has been checked by cir.
cumstances he believed beyond his control,
There is at least a chance he has given the
subject some thought. Mr.. TAFT's second
point, elimination of bureaus and reduction
of employees, is already under way through
consultations. His third, change in relief ad.
ministration, housing, agriculture and fed.
eral loans, is also in process of DEVELOPMENT.
His fourth, the termination of grants for
local public works, reduction of federal pub.
lie works and reduction of subsidies, is omen
to argument on the ground that it wou,d
impose a barrier to recovery. AS for the
fifth point, submission Of army and navy
estimates to critical analysis, it may be cited
that no bid for army or navy is accented
until surveyed and digested by scores Of
analysts.
If Mr.. TAFT hoped to gain political
strength by his Chicago speech, he is doomed
to disappointment. In fact, he hurt any
small chance he might have had of realizing
his ambition to be President.

Direct Appropriations
For Airports Are Urged

WASHINGTON, Jan. T. Up -
The civil aeronautics authority urg-
ed congress today to make direct
appropriations for airport projects,
citing the rapid development of
commercial aviation and the grow
ing concern of our military Off
Gals over the adequacy" Of exist
ing airports for defense purposes.
Much of the federal govern
ment's financing of airport prof.
ects in recent years has been done
through ALLEGATION of relief funds.
The CAA said in its annual report,
however. that long-range planning
had been made with an eye to the
day when relief appropriations
were reduced to q point where it
would no longer be practicable to
carry out a wide airport program
with SUCH funds"
In a report to congress last
March, the CAA urged an alloca-
ton Of 500, 600. 900 Of relief funds
and an appropriation of SIS, 000, 900
to IMPROVE existing airports, to be
followed by long-term airport pro-
grams. The federal government
spent about $4o,o 900, 900 of relief
funds, to which local funds were
added to bring the total to about
$62, 800, 900.

one might as we'll grant that the effort will
