Lazy Bowels, and

Gottschau Addresses
Kiwanis Club Here

The Rev. A. w. Gottschall,
southern area director, Confer
ence of Christians and Jews, told
the Kiwanis club yesterday that the
chief objective of the organiza-
ton he represents is the breaking
down of religious prejudices in
community life. He declared that
complete fairness to other groups
is an essential ingredient of
American freedom.
What is it that fmerica is aim
ing to defend? he asked; and gave
the answer, that we will defend
not only our shores, our rivers
and valleys and plains, our COM
merce and industry, but also our
way of life, our honest human re-
lationship, our spiritual and moral
values and our freedom of con-
science.
Rabbi M. M. Thurman was a
guest of the Kiwanis club.

1.-THE example Of France shows q
growing need for a course studying
Americanism to counteraet the in
fluence of foreign propaganda
said H. M. Roland, superintendent
Of schools, in an informal in
terview on the teaching of Ameri-
canism in the New Hanover county
schools.
-Four years ago in Lille, France,
said Roland, a group OF paciflst
teachers passed a declaration stat
ing: Slavery is more desirable than
war, and the German army is no
greater danger to France than the
French army.
The Same Element
"When the ROTC was estab-
lished in Wilmington, we discov-
cred that the same element was
actively teaching that type Of paci-
fism to our young people in our
universities, colleges n d other
Schools" he said. Ito c%ounteract
this influence, the New Hanover
county school board joined with the
American Legion and other inter-
ested civic groups to develop a
course in Americanism for every
child in New Hanover county
schools"
A democracy has everything to
gain, and nothing to lose, by teach
ing the true facts of history
through real American teachers.
Roland said. I'm Jul schools the
idea of the American way of life is
sold to the pupils by bringing out
the many advantages we have in a
country where liberty and equality
still exist, with full information in
current events, history, geography,
literature and other fields. When
a child learns that practically all
scientific and cultural progress has
been made at periods in the world
when freedom existed he can see
more clarly the ffcts of dicta-
torships."
When children contrast the civil
izations of America, England and
France with Germany, Italy, Rus
STA and japan. they have a clear
picture of the superiority of de-
mocracy, he said. When it is called
to their attention that Hitler or
ganized initiative and spiritual re.

Roland Tells Of Americanism
PROGRAM In County's Schools

Icermany. they e that. like Ma
noleon. his power will be just as
enduring as these resources last
A calm and sane survey OF the
material taught in the New Han
over schools has been made, ST.
nerintendent Roland said, and any
thing that might be confusing or
contribute to anti-American state
of mind eliminated. Teachers me
together and with members of the
American Legion to discuss indi-
viduaI ideas on exactly what the
American way of life is. Every
effort was made to get a clear cut
program to submit before the
child.
American Songs
Every music teacher in the New
Hanover county schools, he said,
has programs of American songs.
including p a songs, n
strives to teach the spirit of Amerl-
ca through the field of music. Ihls
has been the chief means OF teach
ing patriotism in all countries OF
the world, he pointed out.
Flag etiquette is a definite part
of the program. In every class
room and auditorium, and outside
each school building in the county,
an American flag has been placed.
once each month the Boy Scouts
and the ROTC hold flag retreat at
the city postoffice in order to carry
the teaching of flag etiquette to
the business section.
France showed the weakness OF
the modern type of physical edu-
cation, Roland said. Now in the
New Hanover county schools is a
general working back to the more
Strenuous type of physical educa'
tor and discipline.
The course on guidance, both
personal and vocational, has been
built up in the schools to give
more attention to each individual
in order to help him find his place
in life mentally and in service to
the nation.
To function periodically, each
citizen must be thoroughly pre-
pared to contribute his part &C
cording to the talents belonging te
him, Roland explained. Four years
ago when Wilmington voted the
supplement, there was not a single
vocational teacher in the county
Now, he said, there r 81 voca
tional teachers, leading more thar
1000 pupils to true Americanism
I'VE are proud that u county
is ready to help the nation in {
practical way, as well as develop
ing a spirit of patriotism behine

ThTE did two new things in this
w years Ford that women tell us
make all the difference in the world
tofthem.
First, we made the car much
bigger. Front seating width was in-
creased as much as seven inches.
Wheelbase was heightened. Bodies
were both heightened and widened.
The Ford car now exceeds every
thing in its price field in total inside
length -. in total seating width -.
and in windshield and window area.
You ride in lots of room -. and you
take in all the view!
And you ride in really restful
comfort, too. For our other big I'M
provement this year was an entirely
new Ford ride. A soft and quiet ride,
on city street or country road, that
many people tell us is something
new in cars at any price!
So for room and ride and style
las for handling ease and thrift.
there's a car at your Ford Dealers
that's worth taking the whole family
to see before you decide on any car
this year!

sincere and honest, but that ht thought there were politically-mind' ed advisers in the background wht were very much interested in votes Senator Blansfield said 1t was un. fair and unjust to compare Water. bury to Bridgeport and pointed Ou that Waterbury is not seeking re. funding bonds but capital improve ment ones.
 Senator Edward P. Egan also en- tered the debate on the question ol the need of the bonds and the methods of financing. claiming that the City of Waterbury was not ask ing any great favor of the Legisla- ture and had a right to expect ia. vorable action on its request. He said that the city's water works was worth about 30 or 35 million dollars and that the contemplated improve ments would raise that value tre- mendously.
 A remark by Senator Egan brought forth some comment when he said that he hoped that Waterbury would continue to do as well as it had in the past. Senator William J. Shea Republican, of Manchester said that he hoped the city would not do the same as 1t had in the past, which led the Waterburian to explain that he meant under the administration of Mayor Scully.

CT on the Atlantic seaboard, but still above zero.
 Sixty-one died in North Dakota and northern Minnesota alone, most of them frozen to death. Flows digging through the drifts that blocked highways in the north ern prairies and forest regions still were finding victims. Many had died of heart attacks, induced when they battled the strong winds as they groped their way through blinding SnoWS.
 The mercury climbed from sub- zero marks gradually. At Chicago, the temperature at midnight was seven above and the weather bur- eau expected 1t to rise to 9 de- grees during the day. The average temperature at Chicago yesterday was six degrees, 30 degrees below the normal for March 17. At New York, the temperature had dropped from 27 degrees to l7. Heavy snow was. reported in the New England region, which bore the brunt of the tail-end of the storm. Florida es- capped the cold and storm entirely.
 Coast guardsmen at Skanee, Mich, reported that 20 ice fisher men marooned on a floe in Lake Superior during the storm were safe. All of them had floated to shore or to islands where they re- mained waiting for coast guards men to take them of.
 Moderate to heavy rain and some sleet was reported from southern and central Texas and there was rain on the North Pacific coast.

under the lease-lend act to CO., ordinate the requirements of the British and United States armaments programs.
 Winant, denouncing Nazis as the worst tyranny the world had ever known, said:
 "A new spirit is abroad. Free peo- ples are again cooperating to win a free world and no tyranny can frus- trate their hopes. Those who now suffer and die in this effort do so for the common good of the free peoples of the earth who shall fol- low after them and who with the help of God shall build from these sacrifices a citadel of freedom so strong that forco :,s Y never again seek its destruction"
 No Tyranny Like This
 'SThe world has known tyrany be- fore but never tyranny more cruel and absolute or as relentlessly or- ganized," Winant said. For Nazism has stolen and run amok with the great inventions of free tnquiring minds and set about using them not to liberate but to enslave the human spirit.
 "Nazism has called into question every tenet in the faith of civilized man. It has refused to recognize the dignity of man as human in- dividual. It has deliberately and ruthlessly denied to man freedom of speech, freedom of religion and | potialitv hef0re the laWo
 Speaking at a luncheon of the Pil- grim Society which was in the na- ture of 8 greeting to him, Winarit spoke in blunt language.
 Tn the struggle against the Nazis the people of Britain hold the front line but they do not stand alone" he said. Your dominions and colonies are mastering their forces to bring you evcr-increasing aid.
 America. as President Roosevelt said Saturday night, "has gone into action. It is mobilizing with ever- growing speed its tremendous re- sources 10 make available to you the strews of war"
 The Nazi talk of a new order had not deceived the masses, Winant said.
 "Thel realize that there Is no order or security in tyranny" he continued. "They want what the British people want. They want what the American people want. They want a friendly, civilized word of free peoples in which Christian virtues and moral values are not spurned as decadent and out-moded, world where honest work is recognized and man can own himself.
 World Domination
 "There is no people or race charged with the responsibility or endowed with the ability to dofni- nate the world.'
 Winant tntimated that the United States was prepared to cooperate with free peoples in reconstructing world ip which the masses would enjoy a higher standard of living.
 "A new spirit is abroad" Winant said. Free peoples are again co. operating to win Q free world and no tyranny can frustrate their hopes.

 Members of the Farm Equipment Workers Organizing Committee (CIO) vote today at the Richmond, Ind.

The Rich- mond plant is one of the four In- ternational Harvester plants in the middle west closed by FEWOC strikes in demand of higher wages and bargaining rights.
 A temporary order issued in the Los Angeles, Calif., superior court restricted picketing at the Harvill Aircraft diecasting plant and for bade interference with shipments from the strike-bound factory. More than 400 workers are out in a wage dispute.
 Work on sub-contracts for U. &. navy valves and pipe fittings was disrupted by a strike of llO Steel Workers Organizing Committee (CIO) members at the Sterling Brass Go. Cleveland plant. The union demands a 10 per cent wage in- crease.

eight allied and one neutral lost during the week. The amended fig ures deducted one British ship.
 It was assumed that ship which had been believed lost in German attack on a convoy on Feb. % had succeeded in reaching port.
 Nearly 250,000 tons of British, al- lied and neutral shipping was lost during the two weeks of the spring U-boat blitz up to March 0. It was pointed out in naval circles here, however, that the losses during the week under review were nearly onc- third less than during the previous week.
 Authorities warned again that Britain must be prepared for big losses until the battle of the Allan tic has been won. The enemy, 1t was said, was bringing into play its maximum forces in battle of three dimersions-over, on and un- der the water.

 of navigational lights, etc. Nor does 1t include damaged ships laid up for repair-a substantial total in itself, 1t Is believed, due to frequent German air attacks which injure but do not sink merchant vessels.
 The British frankly state that losses have not reached the peak expected as weather conditions for submarine operations improve.
 A hint of what may be in store was given in @ dispatch from Wash ington which reported receipt of information indicating that long, range German submarine may be en route to start operations of the American coast.
 Unlike the World war there has been little or no authenticated &C., tivity by U-boats off the American coast. However, 1t was thought that the, steadily increasing stream of American aid to Britain might have tempted Germany to seek to sink ships carrying that aid close to the source.
 Ships in American waters are not conveyed as they are on the routes from Halifax to Britain. However, the U. s. navy since start of the war has maintained an elaborate and far-reaching neutrality patrol several hundred miles off the Amer ican coast in order to observe any belligerent activity in the U. s. neu- trality zone.
 German embassy sources declined comment on the submarine report but informed German sources secuted the suggestion that any Nazi' submarine would be ordered into the U. s. neutrality zone. In London British sources said they had no knowledge of the report.
 The extent of aid which the United States is preparing to give to Britain was indicated by a Lon- don speech of w. Averell Hartman, special representative of President Roosevelt, who said that the United States is ready to make sacrifices in It's diet, if necessary, in order that Britain may get the food she
