SHIPBUILDING OPPORTUNITY

A TTENTION is invited to an article III tnese
n columns reprinted from United Sta1eS
Ports, a magazine published in JACKSONVILLE
Fla, under the title, "Shlpbuliolhs AooAS
South
IT. tells of ships built at Tampa and others
under way, and the impetus to business 'niS
construction has given Floridas west coast
METROPOLIS. But it deals chiefly with the
building of a coastal and canal vessel at the
Charleston shipyards, the Julius H. Barnes,
launched in February and recently given its
trial run.
It is the benefit to Charleston and Charles
toms business community, by reason OF THIS
construction, to which we especially ask atten-
ton. The contracting firm, we are told, en-
ployed a full force of $50 men. This payroll
naturally did Charleston some good. but this
was only one item, and not the most helpful.
TRANSFORMATION lines had to make heavy deliv-
cries, and profted by their hauls. Machinery
and other equipment were brought in by rail
and water, some from a considerable distance.
Towing companies, plumbers, furniture and
wood-trimming firms received subcontracts
and profted from them. Also, there were indi-
rect benefits not to be calculated in dollars
and cents but accruing to Charleston's eco
nomic advancement.
This is but one shipbuilding job. Naturally
Charleston's city planners will devote consid-
cradle effort to securing others for a plant
which has proved it's ability to give the com
munity benefits from it's operations. Charles
ton seems assured of greater prosperity,
sounder business foundations, through its
shipyards.

PROJECT

The WPA proposal to provide a playground
on the south side, occupying a whole block,
with facilities for all manners Of sports, will
bring joy to some hundreds of young lives too
long without a fitting place for outdoor amuse-
ment.
There are to be a quarter-mile track, q base
ball diamond, tennis courts and even a house
for less strenuous games. It's hard to vision a
better plan for the youngsters of the neigh
borhood, and the hope is that it may soon be
carried out, that the summer may be filled
with g%ladness, the air with shouts, and anx-
ious parents relieved of their worries. Chill
dren at play are out of mischief.
But the playground, fine as it will be, is
alton problem. The main need is for an arena,
such as Father MANLEY suggested, where not
only athletic events may be held, but enter
tainment of other types also find satisfactory
headquarters. Such a building would afford am
pie accommodations for lectures, concerts,
conventions and other events drawing large
audiences, and at the same time house indoor
athletic Journeys and track meets.
This is not to suggest that outdoor play
grounds would lose their value as soon as the
arena is available. They would still have their
place in the community's life. But they would
take their place as tributaries of the "big
top and no longer be the only gathering
place for athletic contests. While it is impor-
tant that such projects as the playground on
the south side should be completed quickly,
before summer is too far advanced, it is also
important, even more important, that the
arena project-the Marley Memorial Arena-be
undertaken because of its greater power to
meet the multiple recreation and entertain
ment needs of the city and all southeastern
North Carolina.

OFFER NO CURE

The Chamber of Commerce of the United
States joins the republican choir chanting
damnation Of the New Deal, but like the other
singers fails to offer a substitute program of
national administration which offers a cure for
alleged evils.
We must stop unemployment, it says, but
fails to say how. We must continue relief
without levies on the taxpayers pocketbooks.
We must balance the budget without more
taxes. We must have efficient national defense,
but it must cost nothing. We must do this,
and do that, and do other things, too, to save
the nation from bankruptcy and the people
from starving, say the critics of the admins
~tration, including the National Chamber of
Commerce.; but not a single man jack of them
can tell how it's to be done.
We offer no brief for the New Deal in all
its policies. We freely admit it has Numbered,
not once but many times, in many ways, on
many matters. But the fact remains, and can
not be c%onfuted, that the New Deal has sup
planted the donothing policies of preceding ad-
ministrations with action, has brought the
nations banks back from the edge of an abyss
the republicans led them to, has put agricul-
ture on a frmer basis than it was on under re.
publican leadership, has given industry, de-
spite it's best effort to prevent it, a substantial
boost, and led business in 1910 to greater pros
perity than it has known since the republican
depression of 1929. If this be failure, make
the best Of it.
The republican leadership, it's candidates
and valiant spokesman, the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, must draft a pro
gram with definite corrections for New Dea
blunderings and Offering something better thar
its achievements before it can hope to regain
the confidence of a people it betrayed before
tn New Deal took over.

launched in recent months, and several others
are in the ways, which will be launched be-
fore the end of the year. These vessels will
eventually find their way in the Far East serv-
ice.
And in Charleston, in February, the 'Julius
H.. Barnes was launched. This month she
had her trial run and has been accepted by
the Erie and St. Lawrence corporation for
service in the New York barge canal and the
Great Lakes trade. In winter months she will
make her appearance in Southern harbors,
where she will be in the coastWise and Gulf
trade.
AS a case in point, it might be well to study
the case of the Julius H. Barnes" to see
what shipbuilding can mean to the South. A
great deal of the credit for the building OF the
Barnes should go to the far-slghtedness of
L.. Louis Green, Jr., Vlce-presldent and gener-
al manager of the Charleston Shipbullding and
Dry Dock company. 1t was his ability as a
shipbuilder and marine engineer that saw this
construction job come to a successful conclu-
sion on schedule.
The eyes of the shipbuilding industry, figur-
atively speaking, were on Charleston when the
contract was let. Built in record time-her
keel was laid last July-its construction just
proves what can be done when men OF vision
are given the opportunity to deliver the goods.
There are many benefits, both direct and
indirect. that have come to the South as a re-
suit of the shipbuilding industry. Needless to
say, unemployment is on the decrease where
shipyards are humming. In Charleston, the
Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company employed
a full time force of $50 men for this job.
This is an increase over their regular force,
because the yard was carrying on business
''as usual while the Barnes" was under
construction.
Transportation facilities have benefited from
the industry's return to the South. In Charles
ton, much of the installation of machinery and
equipment had to be transported by rail and
water, some of it being shipped a considerable
distance. The transportation industry can well
use such benefits. Where one industry pros
pers, it is only natural that others may do
the same.
In other ways, communities in the South
will benefit from the shipbuilding industry. In
Charleston, some few business concerns did
benefit directly from the ships construction.
In the case of the Barnes local towing COM
panies, plumbers, furniture and wood trim
ming firms did receive some important con-
tracts, but as a general rule the benefits came
indirectly. Indirect benefits were those that
came through the production of goods and
services for those that are employed by the
yards or in some phase of the construction.
Much new equipment and supplies, for in
stance, had to be purchased that are Incl
dental to the construction.
Yes, the shipbuilding industry is doing its
part toward solution of the economic problems
of the South. 1t can well be proud of it's lead
ers in the industry, who, like l.. Louis Green,
Jr, can foresee the possibilities, and have
the initiative to go out and get the business.

sary to include extra vitamin A in
the form of green and yellow vege'
tables, liver, egg yolk or fish liver
oil. Evaporated milk may be used
for drinking and cooking since it
has the same food value as whole

Vegetables should be prepared
carefully to prevent loss of the
many valuable food constituents
which are soluble. Avoid soaking
vegetables in water, cooking in
large quantities, and overlooking.
Save the cooking water and use it
in soups and gravies.
Eggs are still eggs whether

Man bout
Manhattan
By George Tucken

NEW YORK, May IF Kate
Smith thought as much of Kate
Smith as Katherine Carruthers
thinks of Kate Smith, Kate Smith
wouldn't be able to live in the
same house with Kate Smith.
Katherine Carruthers is unques-
tionably the worlds No. l fan, and
Kate Smith is her hobby. This is
a hobby that over a period of sea-
sons has been developed into a
high ritualistic science, and if you
are inclined to doubt such a state
ment, kindly consider these facts.
Katherine Carruthers lives on
Long Island and works in a New
York bank. I would say that she
is in her 3O's. Every Friday eve
ming without fail, she arrives for
the Kate Smith broadcast, at the
CHS studio No. 2, in 45th street.
And every Friday night, without
fail, she sits in the same seat, on
the aisle, and takes down in short
hand every word that is uttered
on the program. She notes the
sequence of the show and makes a
detailed record of the entire hour.
Then she waits around for the
repeat broadcast, which is
three hours later, and she again
takes shorthand notes on every
thing that is said and sung and
done. Invariably she then hurries
to the stage door and waits until
Miss Smith comes down. She says
hello and co~ngratulates her on her
performance. By this time Kate
Smith is climbing into her WI car
and then Miss Carruthers goes or
to her home on Long Island. 1t is
then 100 a. m.
In addition, she is the head and
founder of the Kate Smith Fan
club, which puts out a regular
Kate Smith newspaper (the last
edition had 40 pages). One of the
features was a story entitled,
How I Would Entertain Kate
Smith If She We're a Guest in My
Home for a Day"
Miss Carruthers also maintains
an extensive clipping service, and
every word printed about Miss
Smith goes into her private press
books. Sometimes she sends these
books to Hates office for her staff
to look at, and invariably they
are more nearly complete than
Miss Smiths own records.
When stories that are erroneous
appear in the papers, Miss Car
ruthers writes protesting letters to
the editors. When new studio pic
lures are made of Miss Smith,
Miss Carruthers orders duplicate
copies for herself. Once on a west
ern tour Miss Carruthers wired
ahead and had photographers meet
the encourage and take various
pictures of Miss Smith amid west
ern scenes All of these activities
are done at her own expense.
AS for Miss Smith, whenever
she begins a new program, she al
ways presents Miss Carruthers
with a bouquet of flowers. These
Miss Carruthers takes home and
presses in books. But beyond this,
and beyond sidewalk greetings as
she leaves the studio, Miss Smith
seldom sees her. She never has
entertained her in her dressing
room, or in her home.

SOMETHING'S RON

There is something wrong with our economic
crops under for lack of a market while prod
ucts from afar are selling at top prices in
Wilmington.
This is the view expressed by the county
farm agent, R. W. GALPH1N, in an Illuminating
address before the Kiwanis club on Wednesday,.
He cited lettuce from California as an exam
pie, saying that because California Iceberg had
a better flavor in former years than the Bos-
ton variety grown hereabouts it dominated the
local market and continues to hold a command.
ing position even since New Hanover county
truck growers, through soil analysis and
scientific fertilization, have improved their
product so that it equals and even betters the
California product. This situation exists, said
Mr.. GALPH1N, only because Wilmington buyers
do not know about the improvement in the
local product and fail to demand it of their
green grocers, but accept the imported lettuce
without murmur or complaint, with the result
that our own farmers, with a better article,
are without local markets and suffer heavy
losses in consequence.
Mr.. GALPHIN explained that he cited lettuce
merely as a case in point, and not because it
was the only available example. We remember
another case, where New Hanover County to-
matoes rotted on the vine while Texas toma-
toes were bringing top prices in our stores.
Even now new potatoes are being brought in
and offered for sale. Truly there is something
wrong with our commodity set-up, when our
own products are wasted because we do not in
sist on having them in preference to others
grown at a distance.
The GALPHIN view is that we should know
our farms and what they produce and refuse
to accept vegetables from other sections OF
the country, when the same vegetables are
available from nearby fields. The position is
sound. One way to correct the all too prevalent
evil is for housewives to demand home prod
ucts. Another would be to establish a curl
market, such as exists in many cities, where
farmers may bring their products on specified
days and act as their own statesmen.
Here is something the ambitious and capable
Junior Chamber of might well con
template with a view to including its sponsor
ship in Its major program of activities.
