A pork shoulder roll, all golden
brown, served with rosy cinnamon
apples topped with bit of marsh
mallow, makes a picture one can
not easily forget. And from the
standpoint of flavors, this combi-
nation is ideal. In fact, pork and
apples are found on menus to-
gether so frequently that they are
regarded as one of the most pop
ular food affinities.
A pork roast such as this is de-
lightful for entertaining, not only
because it is almost universally
liked, but also because it is SO
easily prepared and served. The
picnic shoulder of pork is bOned
and tied into shape at the market
The cooking is very easy matter
The roast is seasoned with salt
and pepper, placed fat side up on
a rack in an open roasting pan and
allowed to cook slowly until done.
No water is added to the pan, nor
is it covered at any time during
the roasting Certainly this is an
easy method of cooking No fuss,
no bother at all!
1t is important that the temper
allure of roasting be kept low if
the roast is to be evenly done.

likely to mean that there will certaihiy DC oie'
1t cannot be too often emphasized tnat the slt-
uatlon here is different.
Our naval officers have the dlfflcuit ana ex'
acting duty Of keeping us ready 1or war a. sea
and of conducting war at sea When II Is ENTER
ed upon. In keeping us ready they must con.
slider the strategic consequences OF war with
all possible enemies and combinations OF enc
mics. 1t Is neither their duty nor tnelr rlgnt
to interfere, by prediction or argument with
our political relations with other countries.
War can be declared by vote of congress, and
in no other way. A congressional communities
conscious of it's own responsibilities would new
er have asked or tolerated a statement from
any naval Or army officer as to whether this
congress or some future congress would or
should declare war on Japan.
AS to possible reasons for fighting Japan
the American public may well preserve an at
titude of calmness. Most Of us abhor what ia.
pan is doing in China. Our government has ex-
plicitly stated that it will not recognize any
New Order" which abrogates existing treaty
rights. Our commercial treaty with Japan has
been allowed to lapse. But to think Of this at
titude, and of various irritating incidents, as a
prelude to war Is both foolish and dangerous.
We can give financial aid to China, and keep
out Of war. We can refuse to ship airplanes to
Japan, and keep out of war. We can give our
full sympathy to the Chinese struggle for lib
erty and still recognize that no lasting good
could come out Of an attempt on our part to
police the Yellow and Chinese seas.
In a world torn by battle some areas Of
sanity must be preserved if there is to be a
postwar recovery. The time will come when
we must join with other peace-loving nations,
East and West, in a program for world secur.
ity. War with any nation, in any waters, must
be regarded as a last resort. after everything
else has been tried. To accept it in advance as
is to treat all intermediary steps, all
attempts at equitable settlement, all distinction
between the peoples who are our friends and
the governments whose policies shock us, as
of no avail. Surely this dark pessimism does
not represent American opinion at this time.

Germany is running true to form when it

must be prepared for all eventuaIities." It
is ready to become Sweden's guardian angel
with sword in hand.
And that it contemplates stepping into the
role is obvious. Sweden must be saved from
the Allies.
Says a Nazi spokesman, in effect, as quoted
in an Associated Press dispatch from Berlin:
"Now that Norway and Denmark are 'occu.
pied,' and therefore combatant areas, it is
natural that Swedish and German CONNER.

What is to be done about it is not as ap'

the country to assure himself supplies from
SWeden's rich storehouses. The Allies cannot
prevent a German invasion. Nor can the
Swedes, valiant fighters though they be.

CAROLINA BEACH SEASON

il. Carolina Beachs decision to move the Off
cial opening of it's season up to May 25,
somewhat earlier than usual, is justified on
several grounds, among which may be men
toned that this is the choicest year for
American resorts to profit by suspension of
foreign vacation travel and that because of
the long, hard winter throughout the entire
country there will be virtually no spring at
all.
When the chill leaves the air in the North
and the East, summer will move right in.
And summers heat in the hinterland will
drive hordes from there to the seasore for
relief. The resort planners at Carolina Beach
have made a wise decision.
Naturally, Wilmington will take great
pleasure in cooperating with the beach au.
thorities in festivities they may schedule for
opening day. Carolina Beach is, indeed, Will
mington's good neighbor. Whatever is done
there to increase it's celebrity as a resort is
done for Wilmington, too.
And by the same token, whatever Whining
ton can do to assist the resort in it's worth,
effort to increase its popularity and patron
age cannot fail to be of advantage to botl
communities.

-CP-The general conference of the

all it's 6 900 members in the Unit
ed States to do without Sunday din

continuation of this period of critical

They resolved the feast day should
be "a time of deep intercession for
the suffering multitudes of other
lands, and of earnest petition Tor
the speedy termination OF war and
the establishment of a just and last

SENATE PASSES BILL

The ~senate's favorable action on the rivers
and harbors bill is the more welcome because
of it's quickness.
Now that it is approved, the hope is that a
conference committee will as speedily adjust
differences in the two measures and strike
a balance between them that final passage
may be effected and the approved bill go to
the White House for presidential action be-
fore the session closes.
What Mr.. ROOSEVELT will do, whether to
affix his signature or veto it, rests entirely
with him. But it is something eminently
helpful that congress by the separate vote of
the two houses has placed the stamp of ap-
proval on rivers and harbors improvements
If the President should block the work by
exercising his veto power, the people, espe-
cially the people in port cities, will know at
least that their legislators have backed them
up in their demand for projects needed to
expand their commerce.
While Mr.. ROOSEVELT told Senator BAILEY
some time ago that he would not approve
large appropriations for this work, it may
well turn out that elisions in the original
bill and it's restriction to strictly river and
HdrDOr DeCtermenC, WIN consequent large re-
auctions in the estimated cost, will overcome
his objections and win his approval. 1t is
also to be noted that the bill as passed by
the senate does not appropriate any funds
but merely authorizes their appropriation
at a later date-the 1941 congress. But it is
still Mr.. RoosEvELT's privilege to chart his
own course. He will sign or veto, as he sees
fit.
1t would be foolish, however, to let the
matter rest without further effort to secure
his blessing. That is up to Senator BAILEY and
ms associates. If the North Carolina senator
and the gentlemen who sponsored the bill in
the upper house, with competent aid from
the representatives who engineered similar
legislation in their branch of government, do
as good a job at the White House as they
nave done in the Capitol, it is reasonable to
thlnk that Mr.. RoosEvELT's pen will be used
LOT autographlng, not vetoing, the measure.
AS far as Wilmington is concerned. the lob
then must crystalize into a campaign for
commerce which will justify expenditure of
the Sl,53S,0OO set up for channel widening
and deepening and turning basin enlargement

AN AZALEA TRAIL

4 KING of ancient Persia who was some
n thing of a horticuituralist as we'll as
fighter. developed a new kind Of pomegran'
alto The story does not say whether his new
fruit was squirtless, but merely describes II
as finer than any ever grown before.
The king was so pleased with his handl'
work that he summoned his prime minister
who may or may not have carried an UNI
brella-and asked if he had seen II. Inc
premier admitted he had not. Then thou
hast not lived" shouted the monarch, and
dismissed his first aide forthwith.
Something of the sort might as aptly be
said to you if you have failed to visit Green
field park and to have seen the riot OF bloom
on the little ~azaleas planted so recently along
the drive and new paths therein near the
Fourth street entrance.
1t is a magnificent sight, one to thrill
you and convince you that GOD is still in His
heaven and all is we'll with the world, despite
war in Europe. TIL park board has started
from everybody.
Its undertaking also deserves enlargement
One, without difficulty, may picture an azalea
trail completely around the lake-five miles
long-a pathway of beauty not to be sur
passed anywhere in a region famous for
floral luxuriance.
To be sure, azaleas grow slowly, but If the
trail were planted next spring it would be a
sight for the gods, or even better, for troubled
mortal enjoyment, in a decade; and the fame
Of Greenfield park would draw tourists as
Mecca draws Moslems, with benefit to all
Wilmingtonians.
1t is hard to separate aesthetic values from
their economic equivalent. 1t is right to note
that the assembling of visitors at any shrine
is not without it's pecuniary profit. Green
field Lake, with an azalea trail added to its
attractions, would be no exception to
rule. And if a bride path were to be
behind the trail, another asset would
be created for community advantage.
