ALL HAIL, THE WINNERS

Three young men with lively fists have
achieved glory for themselves and honor for
Wilmington. The trio, TINY TAYLOR, VANCE
RED BEARD, and JIMMY SWAIN, battled their
way to the top in the Golden Gloves South
eastern United States tournament at Atlanta,
and so won the right to meet new contestants
in the finals Of the national matches at New
York. They also brought home to Wilmington
the coveted team trophy, which Father
MAvLEY, co-sponsor with the Star-NeWs and
Boys Brigade Of the contests here, accepted
with appropriate modesty in the ring at At
lanta. Father MANLEY is always to be found
in the forefront Of efforts which have as OBJ
%jective the promotion of clean sports and
better opportunities for boys.
Wilmington owes a considerable debt of
gratitude to these youngsters who outclassed
all corners in the district, not only because
they did credit to the local participation in
the Golden Gloves project, but for the publ.
city they have directed to the city at Atlanta
and will direct during the matches in New
York.
In this day Of reawakening, Wilmington
may well be proud that the country through
them will learn Of it's resourcesfulness in
athletics. While word Of Wilmington's posi-
bilities in business, industry and tourist at
fractions is spread abroad, it is distinctly tc
it's credit to have these missionaries contend
ing with the c%ountry's best amateurs for ma
tional fistic honors.

GOLD

Denmark appears in the gold statistics of
the United States Department of Commerce
for the week ending February Z as the source
Of $3,349, 085 of gold received. in this country.
Scandinavia is now we'll represented as a
shipper Of gold to this country, as Sweden
and Norway have been appearing in the gold
reports nearly every week recently as ship
pers Of the metal.
Sweden moved about $89, O0O, 900 Of its gold
reserve to the United States in 1888 and 1889.
The movement had nearly played out last
year, but since Soviet Russia began to present
It's demands in the Baltic, Sweden and Nor
way have been shipping gold here by just
about every available ship.
Finland has not a great deal Of gold to
ship. 1t had 1870 Oo, 900 markkaa Of the
metal in October, or about $23, 500, 900 worth,
and 2,O85, 0O0, 900 markkaa of foreign assets
or about Sal SOC, 900 worth. If Finland has
not already spent it's gold, it can be presumed
confidently that the metal has been moved
out of the country, beyond Russia's reach.

over his own state, where an uplift movement
in this respect has been greatly needed.
We are away behind in North Carolina In
respect to good livestock widely scattered
among the people of the farms.
Diaries in the state are well equipped IN this
resnect. b11t the average ruralite seems to be
content with the ownership of almost any sort
of scrub COW.
The unfortunate situation can in time be cor
rected, if not widely cured, by the dlssemlna-
ton of such stock as is owned by Morrocro1t.
The sale of six of these fine Jersey bulls to
farmers in Iredell county, which was made
this week. through the negotiation OF lredelIs
very efficient Farm Agent Morrow, is a case
in point.
Similar transactions have been made in other
counties and as this process OF scattering the
splendid stock from the spatial pastures Of the
Morrison farm generally throughout the state
is kept up, eventually a marked Improvement
will have been accomplished in the character
of livestock owned by Individual farmers.
Senator Morrison realizes, of course, that
in this way he is making a permanent contri-
button to the betterment of the tone of our
living in North Carolina.
Our state is badly out of balance in this
respect.
The movement recently started at a confer
ence of governors of the southeast looking to
the achievement of an improved agricultural
regime includes more and better livestock in
its program OF what is to be accomplished IN
order to improve the Souths economy.
Verify, this enterprise ought not merely to be
welcomed by our farmers, but they should
show toward it a spirit of active and practical
cooperation.
If the South is ever to capture it's possibili-
ties as an agricultural empire, and bring to its
farming classes the sort of profitable activity
to which they are entitled, one of the most
important steps to be taken is by the farmers
themselves.

HERE AND THERE

If Roosevelt really wants a third term, Prob
Child Elliott will have to be called in and
told not to speak to strangers.
Funny thing about congressional economy.
Everything is being cut, but when it's all
over, it will still add up to the same old deficit.
New York and Newark are arguing over
their airports. Seems the air isn't big enough
to accommodate both cities.
Germanv's steel output has gained, probably
because Of increased demand for bullet-proof
vests among Nazi higher-ups.
Japan can't seem to figure out "nere IL

The President says he is getting tired OF the
third-term question. And how, Mr. rooseVei''

STAR-NEWS

WITH the valued help of its readers, the
W star-Neus today presents its program for
civic. s~piritual, cultural and economic devel-
opment.
It represents the best thought of those par
ticipating in the recent contest, IN winch
proposals for Wilmington's and southeastern
North Cardinals betterment were sought
and the studied opinions of the Star-News
staff.
Examination of the projects which appear
in the adjoining column, will impress the
reader with their Importance. They have
been selected, not only because they would
give city and section great advantage on a
competitive basis with Other districts similar
ly situated as to resources and opportunities,
but also because every project recommended
is attainable through concerted cooperative
effort.
The star.Neus is firmly convinced that
with everybody pulling together, and in uni
son, the program can be carried out at no
remote date.
Ambitious? Certainly. Wilmington and the
area it serves are ambitious. Wilmington
and southeastern North Carolina are rich IN
resources, richer even in opportunities. Once
the chief city of the state, we covet that dis
tinction again, knowing that once the goal
is attained the entire region Of its influence
will reach the same high level Of prosperity
and security.
Despite the careful study and thorough
survey devoted to the program, the Stdr-NeWs
is conscious that it may have omitted som
project as important as any it recommends.
It therefore wishes to impress it's readers
with the fact that the program is not bound
ed to its present limitations. Worthwhile
suggestions will be welcomed, and added.

GERMANY. whose chief effort is directed
against Great Britain, and who is supposed
To coyet air bases in the north from which TO
1sunch bombing attacks against the British
under more favorable circumstances than e4-
ist at Helgoland would have little use for
aid Russia would then be in a po-
sition and have inclination to offer.
Thus it would appear that, whatever may
be brewing in the South, the real focal point
the war is in the northern theatre, where
Russia is at last making Roadway against
the smaller but determined forces OF Finland.

SUGGESTS PROJECT

Dear Sir:
The foundation of any city is its
trading area. The base of the city
of Wilmington is Columbus, Bruins
wick. .Pender, Onslow and Bladen
counties.
A project which would increase
our prosperity is the dredging OF
LIVINGSTONE creek, from Acme to
Waccamaw river "a distance OF
about 10 miles,. This would create
a 15O.mile belt waterway, connect
ing the Cape Fear river, through
the Waccamaw river, with the In
land Waterway near Conway, South
Carolina, and thence UP to South
port.
A drainage and conservation
scheme based upon the Belt Water
way. would bring valuable land into
production and also vastly increase
our supply of timber, fish and
game.
A copy Of the soil map of Bruins
wick and Columbus may be obtain
ed from the department of agricul'
ture, Washington, D. c.
Let us become more county

Penny Carnival held in Cardinals

center of the floor was Billy Broad

dents on official scales obtained
from the university infirmary while
his attractive C @ e d assistant
guessed their weight.
If the guess was wrong more
than five pounds the student receiv-
ed three cigarettes-but he paid
only two cents for the chance.
The afternoon carnival proved to
be the greatest success Of the days
activities. Students thronged t h e
Tin Can" all afternoon. They paid
their two cents fee, or two sticks
of chewing gum. at the door and
not more than four cents at any
game on the floor. Twelve fraterni-
ties and dormitories, and the three
sororities each presented a booth.
The "Win a Kiss" booth with a
fraternity group cooperating with
sorority girls drew a crowd. Wheel

David L. Lilies, Scout executive
of the Cape Fear area council, has
announced that all Scout troops
should turn in a summary OF their
activities each week to Scout head
quarters in the Southern building.
Reports should be in the office by
II o'clock Saturday morning.
Troop p of Carolina Beach, a
newly organized unit spent Satur-
day at the Cliffs on the banks Of
the Cape Fear river. The Scouts
enjoyed a treasure hunt which was
based on Boy Scout requirements.
This was the troops first treasure
hunt and 100 per cent attendance
was enjoyed. Assistant Scoutmaster
B. P. Shepherd was in charge.

Pelican and Moose patrols.
In stunt competition the Wolf

pace. Typical scouting activities
were the subject of each stunt.
