Graham, of Hillsboro, while another group,
with Senator Reynolds as spokesman, IS equal
ly active in promoting the candidacy OF w. ).
Creighton, of Charlotte.
The Daily News is not going into the respec'
tive abilities of the candidates but rather is
concerned over emphasizing the division which
has arisen and the pertinent warning from
Representative J. Bayard Clark that we Will
eliminate ourselves from consideration unless
we can decide on one man"
Emphasis upon this warning does not mean,
however. that we expect it to prove effective.
North Carolina is simply that way. Always we
are a divided state, the division perhaps going
back to our geographical status with the diff
ferent outlooks, developments and problems
which it has brought. The political tradition
fits into or is a part of that diversified pat
tern. There is, for instance, stress upon Sec
tionalism in the unwritten law that our COVER
nors must alternate from east and west and
that our two senators live on opposite sides
of the dividing line. But the division is broken
down much more finely. Cities, counties and
groups of counties combat one another. In
waterway development along the coast, there
is rarely, if ever, an agreement but an lnten-
sive fight between localities which causes the
state as a whole to suffer. In present efforts
to establish an east-west airline, effort has
been made in cities not on this line to crowd
in with proposal for another route, thus to di-
vide the states strength and play directly into
the hands of the corporation seeking to block
the expanded line in question. A woeful lack
of unity, Of statewide vision, there is with the
result, we are confident, that nowhere is an
argument more easily found or intensely waged
than in North Carolina.
Herein lies one of the states great weak
nesses; it is impossible to envision just what
or how much North Carolinians have lost for
themselves and their commonwealth by sap.
ping their strength and multiplying their efforts
in interstate combat. There is a certain virility
in combat, but not when it is manifested in
broken ranks against an outside or common
enemy.

NEXT YEARS PROGRAMS

With the close Of the current Cooperative
Concert Associations season, the thoughts of
musical Wilmington naturally turn to 1871
and the pleasure the next series Of concerts
will afford. If it seems a bit early to dwell
on the subject, excuse may be found in the
fact a long period of planning is more cap,
able OF good results than a hurried campaign
undertaken at the last moment.
This associations activities afford the only
first class musical entertainment Wilmington
now has. BY arrangement with the sponsors,
the choice Of artists is based on the amount
OF money available in advance. 1t may ap.
pear a mercenary arrangement but it has
the advantage of avoiding a deficit. By its
operation it is possible to fix upon a com.
plete program before the season starts.
Naturally, the larger the membership the
better the artists. Quite as naturally, if Will
mington wants the top-notchers next year il
will be necessary to swell the membership
to the ultimate high limit.
Now is the lime to bear this in mind.

AMERICA IN

The time must come soon when we Will
accept ALBERT SPALD1NG no longer as an in
dividual but as an institution, and take his
art for granted. We hasten, therefore, to pay
tribute to him as a homespun American boy
who has made his mark in a field usually
considered closed to natives of this unen.
lightened country.
KRE1sLER, ELMANN, HE1FETz, Z1MBEL1sT
MENUH1N-these are the names we link with
fiddling perfection. All are importations
And with their predecessors, from OLE Bull
onward, they spring from peoples supposedly
more music-minded than the Heterogeneous
masses Of our melting pot.
But that America can produce a ~violinist
of the highest order, entitled to rank with
the present great-and probably with the
great of the past, too-is proved by this fine
individualist, bred on our own soil in the
fine traditions of our democracy, with the
traditional American determination to excel
in the art to which he early consecrated his
life.
America lacking in culture? Not while il
can produce a SPALD1Ne.

"MISSED THE BOAT"

Answering the GoER1NG announcement that
Germany is ready to strike in the west and
will do SO as soon as HITLER blows his
whistle, Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN, the British pre-.
mier, replies that the Nazi chief missed the
boat-or words to that effect.
HITLER had a chance to strike while Eng.
land was unprepared for war. He did not
strike then, and now the opportunity is gone
forever, says Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN.
While he dilly-dallied, Great Britain has
been getting ready, and all that HITLER can
do, or his supreme command plot, will not
give him equal chance of victory with the
earlier one he passed UP. The Allies are now
ready to take the initiative, and will press
the war with every advantage they have
gained to a conclusion.
The brave words of the British premier
find support in the shifting he announces
in his cabinet. With all war matters concen.
trated under WINSTON CHURCHILL, it is evil
dent that Britain intends to take the lead.

REGULAR

H. E. BOYD, manager of the Port Traffic
Association, explains that what he told the
Better Business Club was that Wilmington
needs regular sailings, instead of salesman.
ship, as reported in the Star. He is right, of
course, in asking that his exact words be
quoted. But in the main there is little be-
tween the two. 1t is somewhat in the nature
of a distinction without a difference.
Regular sailings are indeed essential to
port development. But they cannot be &C.
quired without craftsmanship. This must
come first. Shippers must be shown that
Wilmington's port has advantages for them
that other ports lack. The port must be
"sold' to them. And this takes craftsmanship
Without it, shippers will turn to other ports
and continue to use them. Without it, Will.
mington will not get the regular sailings it
needs so greatly.
In addition to sailings, or in preparation
for them, Wilmington needs terminals with
every modern facility for the proper accom-.
mediation of all which might be
brought In through a concerted drive for it,
Mr.. BOYD is correct when he says that Will
mington needs regular steamship sailings to
fulfill its highest port destiny. 1t will get
them in increasing numbers when the neces.
sary craftsmanship is directed toward a heavy

BEAUTY FOR HIGHWAYS

CONSIDERING the shape they were IL
~ twenty-five years ago, we nave reason ~
be proud of the improvement we nave mace IL
our highways. They are still far from SAILS
factory. Many are illpaved. Curves are toe
FREQUENT and too sharp. All are too mario"
But all that we can say against them 1alls u
shadow the fact that they are Infinitely Det
ter than in World war days.
But. with all the work and planning AND
money put into them, we nave perslsIentiy
overlooked one important phase or highway
development, i.e., Identification. We nave
been so busy building them, getting them
paved, rerouting some to eliminate grades
and curves, that the opportunity to make
them beautiful has been lost sight of. And
it is a great pity, for a beautiful highway,
with iandscaping along the right of way and
flower beds at strategic intervals would,
through loosening taut nerves, lessen the
hazard of accident.
It is probably too much to expect a land
program, especially as we are not
one means of Identification could be started
which would involve little cost and not much
attention or worry and, in the adoption of
which there would be general satisfaction
among all who travel main roads. Trees
might be planted on rights of way, far enough
back from the paving to prevent them ever
becoming hazards by blocking a clear vision
of the road ahead. When grown they would
afford shade for motorists and form a fine
frame for the roadway. Furthermore, they
would help solve the billboard problem by
interposing a screen between traveller and
sign. Advertisers would not long continue to
pay out good money for displays which could
not easily be seen.
Some years ago the women's clubs of Ala
bama undertook a similar project, planting
oaks for miles out of Montgomery on
he Mobile highway. With the depression
about the time the undertaking was
launched, the clubs were unable to finance
he entire project, but such mileage as was
planted is now vastly improved by well-grown
Such a venture would work wonders on
