 The borough council had been scheduled to meet at noon and Stahl, a former mayor, was in his office discussing the program with six retiring and incoming borough officials. Among the decisions they had reached was one which would have deprived Butler of authority to hire extra assistants during rush periods.

of it we may Judge that he thought 1t better
not to dwell on the early prospect of this
most colossal Of all CANDLES
Goebbels was addressing different audi
ence. OF course, he was concerned with keep
ing the threat alive, and it may be that that
was his only purpose. But it must be recog-
nized that the events Of recent months have
increased the likelihood of invasion. 1t may
not be precisely imminent, but when spring
brings good weather Hitler may well seek his
next appointment with destiny. This is OBJ
viously in the mind of the British high COM
mand, which continued to order air raids on
the channel invasion ports" and supply bases
in German and occupied territory.

Trailer Camp Regulation

DR.. A. H. Elliot, the health officer, has
taken wise step in instructing rural service
station operators and storekeepers in the
health regulations applying to trailer camps
and tourist resorts Without strict observance
of sanitary rules in camps which are likely
to spring up in connection with defense pro-
srarn construction the health situation OF the
sntire county population might be imperiled.
There is reason to suppose that many work
mems families will use trailers for their
habitation during the period of construction
not only at Holly Ridge but at other bases
which probably will be established in this
vicinity. Any laxity in observance or enforce
,nent Of health regulations could easily result
in stream and well pollution and lead to wide
spread sickness.
The danger is very remote at camps al
ready established and being operated in ac-
eordance with the county regulations. It will
be the duty of the operators of camps which
will come into existence this winter to main
tain the same high standard.

Hitler Contradicted

Immediately after Hitler finished speaking
at the Brosig munitions workers the other
day his propaganda minister, DR.. Goebbels,
called in the foreign correspondents to correct
any false impressions they might have gather
ed In effect, he contradicted his chief
Hitler told the German workers that the
hour of decision had not arrived They must
be patient, for his preparations are always
thorough, and the German people will ap-
preciate it if the sacrifice in lives is smaller
for that reason. He implied that the blow to
strike down Britain is still some distance off,
for he put great stress on his assertion that
there will be no defeat of Germany ION the
grounds of time
If all that meant anything, it meant that
the hour for invading Britain has been indef
nitely postponed. Yet DR.. Goebbels declared
that great lightning offensive across the
moat of Britain's fortress in imminent It will
surpass in fury any effort the German wal
machine has made. 1t will smash through al
defenses to victory.
So we can take our choice We can believe
Hitler or we can believe Goebbels-thouph it i.
hardly necessary to believe either In thi:
instance Goebbels seems the more trustworth,
witness, for the Fuehrer was making a speecf
