IN STAMPS
Lighthouse Marks Spot
Where Columbus londed

A HUGE beacon, to light sea and
IA air travellers, is to be the New
Worlds memorial to its discoverer,
Christopher Columbus, under a
project sponsored by the 81 re-
publics of the Pan American
Union. The projected lighthouse
is to be built in the Dominican
Republic, which Columbus knew
as Hispaniola, and where he es-
tablished the center of spanish
colonization in America.
Five stamp issues of the Do
minican Republic have advertised
the project. Official stamps issued
in 1923 and 1887 showed suggested
designs. "A 1887 airmail also pic
tured the lighthouse. Most recent
of the lighthouse stamps were the
New York Worlds Fair commem-
orative, above, and airmail, which
pictured the lighthouse with the
Trylon and Perisphere.
Under present plans, the prof.
ect will include not only the light
house but also an airport, mu-
scum and Columbus library. The
ashes of the Great Navigator will
be moved to tomb there.

TWO HIGHWAY PROJECTS

many viewpoints, not the least important Oh
which is that visitors to the Orion plahta'
ton, with it's colonial beauty and riot OF aza-
leas and other flowers, would not longer be
compelled to travel alternately IN dust ana
mud to reach it.
Other reasons, and they are potent, are
that the section the road trayerses is rich IN
possibilities for industrial Development, now
throttled because adequate highway approach
is lacking.
Engineers have reported the area along It's
route is rich in undeveloped water-poWer.
Were a paved highway built through it there
is no reason to doubt that it would be de-
veloped and factories requiring large sup
plies of water quickly follow. Another good
reason may be found in its usefulness in the
national defense. Highways are no less i'm
portant in efficient defense than forts and
plane bases. AS offering an alternate route
between Wilmington and Southport, both
strategic points in coastal defense, the Old
River road would be an obvious advantage.
Two routes for military transport are always
better than one.
The highway department will be doing a
wise thing if it includes this among the
projects accepted for improvement under the
five million dollar program the governor has
authorized.
And while the department is considering
projects, it will do we'll to look into the
needs of the Niger Head road which, if
paved throughout it's length, would provide
easy access to great agricultural reservoirs.
At present, growers are under a heavy
handicap through lack of a satisfactory high.
way. Not only would its improvement be ad-
visable from an economic viewpoint. 1t would
also open Moore's Creek battle-ground to tour
lists and because of the interest in this his
toric spot, attract many visitors to this city.
With the publicity the battle-ground would
then receive the state at large would be bene-
fitted by additional motorists from afar,
whose spendings along the way would be
considerable.

over and above their debts by nearly $4,000 900
which accounts for the 80 per cent gain.
The FSA program stresses long range plan
ming and practical education in farm and home
management. Hard and incessant labor is of
little value if done in an efficient manner or
directed to improbable ends. 1t requires as
much time to plant a large field in corn that
won't come up as it does in planting reliable
seed. And it takes as much time and labor to
raise a crop that won't sell as 1t does in pro-
ducing commodities for which there is a ready
market.
Mr.. Swift's book of figures and facts shows
that FSA borrowers in the state produced $4,'
ASP, 557 worth of goods in 1889 as compared
with the $3,413,4 21 produced before coming into
the organization program. Signifying a depar'
ture from one-crop farming are statistics snow

Editorial Comments
From Other Angles
LOOKING AHEAD IN CIVIC MUSIC
The Asheville Citizen

AS the Ashevile Civic Music association
opens it's annual membership campaign today
certain elemental factors may well be re-
stressed as foundation stones of the drive. In
the first place, in nine short years this noun
tain resort community has come up from moth
ing to be the largest organized concert audi
ence of it's kind in the United States, accord
ing to the national booking agents. That fact
in itself gives his city a reputation which must
be maintained and which of itself entails re-
sponsibilties. We have set for ourselves a high
standard.

hear properly during the past season because

vices installed. Naturally, however, even these
Improvements cannot introduce the millennium.
There will always be the day when first ar
rivals get the best seats. The man has not
been born who can change that law of nature.
But to secure the best audience conditions
possible it has been decided to limit the size of
membership body to the number of persons
the auditorium can comfortably hold-some
2, 700. That is a drop Of five hundred and

The navy order closing the destroyer Roe

But these be war days, and because it is
impossible to Know the motives Of everybody,
and with the country full of foreign agents

the authorities at Washington, we'll knowing

THE PRACTICAL WAY
Winston-Salem journal

Whatever may be their defects, the chief
merit of the administration farm programs
there are several of them-is that they are
positive and emphasize the immediate, practical
action.
One of the least publicized of the agencies
at work to improve the lot of farm families
is the Farm Security Administration This or
gapization is performing a highly effective
service in promoting farm ownership and bet
ter farming operation and management.
Vance e. Swift, FSA director for North
Carolina, announces that borrowers under the
administration in this state raised their incomes
80 per cent last year. The annual purchasing

NEW A OF WAR

1t becomes more and more difficult to I'm.
derstand the workings Of HITLER's mind. The
present situation in Scandinavia does not
help. He shells Norwegian cities to assure
Norway's neutrality. His air force bombs
their coast and he bids the people be calm.
He spreads the war to their territory and
assures them that he has no evil inter. and
above all things wants to preserve them from
aggression. Were he an ordinary fellow, just
a common chap without an army at his heels,
he'd be declared insane, and we'd put him
away
That is what we will have to do with him,
in the end-put him away. But in the mean.

With the sword out Of the scabbard in the

once, but war in southeastern Europe appears
Inevitable. How much broader may the from
tiers of war be extended cannot be seen, but
that all Europe will become embroiled soon
err or later seems inevitable. The only ray Of
hope at this time is that the Allies, who
were not caught asleep by this newest move
by HITLER, will be strong enough to drive the
Nazis out of Norway and save Sweden from
participation in the war. Nothing can be
done about Denmark, but with these Other
