with the fact that they have lost not only a
good friend but a spiritual leader as well.
Coming to the Church of the Good Shepherd
upon it's organization so years ago and building
up a strong organization, the Rev. Gibble was
transferred to other fields, but returned to
Wilmington in 1920, again as rector of the
church he established, and SO deeply was he
loved that he earned the soubriquet of Bishop
of Dry Pond" It is in this nickname that we
get the best picture of the man - a true
shepherd of his flock, a leader among his peo-
pie, the bishop, the guiding voice, the presid-
ing officer in a community which held him
in reverence.
For the last six years of his helpful life he
had lived not wholly in the retirement he had
earned, but still took active part in the de.
velopment of spiritual and cultural goals in the
city. To his widow and surviving relatives,
the Star-News joins all Wilmington in extending
deepest sympathy, and sharing with them the
loss his passing creates.

Housing Problem

One of the major problems which have been
raised in the defense program is the provision
of housing for workers. The large number Of
additional men and women employed at navy
yard, arsenals, munition plants and other fac
tories of every sort and type will, in many
cases, have to be provided with new and suit
able living quarters near their jobs.
The primary consideration in any program
of this type must necessarily be economy and
way without loss of time, dwellings must be
put up hastily in areas where there is a short
age of accommodations. The funds provided
are limited so that most construction must be
planned to involve a minimum of expense.
At the same time it would be well for those
in charge of the program to remember that
the federal government is now engaged upon
another program and has spent much money
on it to improve low-cost housing and rid cities
of slums. It would be the poorest kline of pol
icy not to take this into consideration while
new housing for defense workers is being put
up in congested areas.
There are many instances, of course, where
the need for the housing will disappear, once
the emergency is over. This is particularly
true of munition plants usually located far
from built-up areas and generally shut down
after the emergency has passed.
But in many other cases, the housing will
be put in a spot where it will become a part
of the community and be used by workers for
many years to come. These dwellings GER
4o;p1, cbo,,1J lo ~J,r,aj will, 1890. O4bor
wise they soon will degenerate into sluns
which will aggravate the housing problems
we have been trying to solve.

CO.. Operative Concerts

Tn the campaign for Cooperative Concert
.ssociation memberships, which was launched
at a luncheon yesterday, it is important te
remember that the quality of entertainment
to be provided by this organization during the
coming season depends on the amount OF mon
ey subscribed.
There will be three concerts. That is guar
anteed. But the secretion of soloists or groups
must be postponed until the campaign PERIOD
is ended and the total fund is known.
This is necessary for two very essential rea-
sons In the first place, while there are a
great many artists available, they are not all
obtainable for the same fee. Their compensa-
tion varies and secondly, by engaging only
artists available for the money subscribed 1t
is nossible for the association to close its sea-
son without a deficit and that is always a
fine achievement.
With these two matters in mind, it is per-
tinent to point out that he larger the sub
revenue, the better the entertain
ment. A thoroughly earnest group of workers
is today busy soliciting the citizens of Will
mington to invest the small amount set as the
cost of membership, first among old mem
bers and then among the rest of the city's
population. They deserve a hearty welcome
wherever they go, for their mission is one OF
direct benefit to those they call upon.
Last years programs were outstanding. This
years can be even better, and at no greater
individual cost, if more persons subscribe. It
would be a fine thing if, when the drive closes
on Saturday, the campaign directors were
able to report a substantial increase.

NEWS BEHIND TWO NEWS ITEMS
GoldsbOrO NeWs-Argus

The News-Argus has twice published that
Lt.-Col. George Gillette is ordered to leave
his work as district engineer in eastern North
Carolina to go to a fort in Virginia.
The difference between the items is that
the second one stated a later date for the
move. And that, in turn, reflected efforts
made by people all over the eastern part of
the state to have Col. Gillette re-assigned for
another term of duty as district engineer.
For, a native of Onslow county, Col. Gillette
has shown a comprehension of the problems
of the area such as nobody from elsewhere
could develop in a 2-year assignment. The
News-Argus hopes it will be possible for him
to stay and to carry on the work he already
has under way. 2

Currency Exported

The war continues to place heavier ~restric-
tons on the American money market. The
New York Herald Tribune notes that United
States currency exports, which reached a to-
tai of nearly $50, 900, 600 in April, 1893, dropped
last month to a mere 81, 100, 900 of which
$3.50, 900 went to Cuba.
In April a year ago Europe took SAG, 000, 600
of the months exports, most Of which went
into boards on the continent. A large part OF
the currency exported before the outbreak OF
the war is believed still in hiding and may
remain there until the individual holders are
able either to smuggle it out or declare it
without fear of confiscation.
That this currency is not now coming from
Europe was shown by the import figure for
September, which disclosed a return of only
1896, 900 of which amount $728, 900 came from
Canada.
American currency continues to be the most
esteemed in the world, but is rapidly disap.
pearing from circulation abroad for that very
reason.

Editorial Comment
COLONEL GILLETTE'S RECALL
Charlotte Observer


The Observer is in entire accord with the
high estimate Of the services of Colonel George
w. Gillette, commissioner for waterways for
Eastern North Carolina, as pronounced by
The Rocky Mount Telegram in asserting that
he has done more for the advancement OF
waterway services in our state than any previ
Gus commissioner"
It's lanentable that this aggressive and for
ward-1ooking army engineer has been recalled
to Washington for re-assignment, whatever this
may mean.
And while such an order is commonly to be
interpreted as Indicating that Colonel Gillette
is to be sent elsewhere, if it is merely a mat.
ter of going through an army routine, North
Carolina people who know of him either as a
man or as an official representative of the
army and the government, will join in a Choir
us Of requests that he be re-assigned to the
post from which he is being recalled.
It does seem that one who has been doing
such exceptionally fine and constructive work
as Colonel Gillette and whose days of useful.
ness in such service are only at their begin
nings should be let alone to contine these i'm.
portant duties unless there is urgent need that
his distinguished abilities can be the more
practically and u~sefully engaged in S o m e
larger area of the National service. 2

HEA savA nc,

RALEIGH, Oct. IA. - Up North
Carolina highway %patrolmen and To-
cal law enforcement Officers were
praised today by U. S. Treasury de.
partment agents for cooperation in
tracking down counterfeiters and
tax-dodgers.
At a meeting here of district

officers, L. o. Padgett, in charge Of
secret service activities in Charlotte,
described how highway patrolmen
had assisted in Selling a machine
which made counterfeit half-dollars.
John r. Cox, special agent in
charge of intelligence, said a tip
given him by a local officer re-
suited in the arrest of a book-maker'
eff it was not for the cooperation
we are receiving from Officers N
North Carolina, the number OF fef'
eral officers would have to be IN
creased tremendously to cope VIVID
law-breakers," said Pdagett.
The treasury agents presented an
engraved parchment TO the hl9H'
way patrol in appre'iatiLn for the
patrols cooperation. The patrol J"
Gently allowed the agents to use lis

Byrnes Says WILKES
Election Would Mean
Chaos In Government

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. - Up
Senator Byrnes (D-SC) said tonight
that the election Of Wendell l.. Will
kie would result in "chaos in gov
eminent" between election day and
Inauguration day which would "inev'
itably retard - possibly wreck - the
program of preparedness"
In a speech prepared for the ra
do (NBC), Byrnes said the republi'
can presidential candidate had an
nounced intentions, if he were victo'
rious, to stage a housekeeping OF
policy4making officials when he took
office next January"
eff you were a policy-making en-
ploye and Mr.. Willkie were elected,
would you wait to be dismissed by
him next January or would you
grasp the first opportunity to secure
other employment" Byrnes asked.
