Plans for the informal meeting,
to be held in the city count cham
bers Tuesday nigh at 7:30 O'clock
were disclosed yesterday as Mayor
Cooper mailed invitations to Is in
dividuals representing civic clubs,
hotels, merchants, the school sys-
tenn and the state highway patrol
to meet with him and police Off
cials to discuss ways and means
of securing public cooperation with
the campaign to lessen existing
traffic hazards.
The city's traffic problem is no
small one," Mayor Cooper said in
outlining purposes of Tuesday
nights meeting. Automobile traf-
fic is increasing by the day all
through Wilmington. With the prob
lem of increased automobile traf-
fic we also are experiencing a de-
cided increase in pedestrian traffic
in the downtown districts.
The public must cooperate with
the police department, and it is to
enlist that support and cooperation
that l am calling the meeting next
| week"
The mayor said he hoped that
those attending the meeting would
offer some concrete suggestions to-
ward an early solution of the traf-
fic-pedestrian situation.
IF our system of handling traf-
fic is inadequate, then it is best
that we begin Immediately to style
the city's facilities to cope with
present and future needs. Thus far,
the police department has demon
strated its adequacy to meet the
problem, and I believe the present
force can continue to control the
situation without addition of more
men to the traffic squad" he
mayor said.
However, the problem here is
one of an almost unpredictable
1ulure que 10 the great growth OIL
the city's population from the ma
tional defense program, and to be
prepared for that future is of con-
Germ to every one of us.
IF the public will cooperate by
doing its part, great step toward
solution will have been made.
Through the city's clubs and
schools and organizations we hope
to be able to carry out a telling
traffic safety educational pro-
gram" the mayor declared.
Invited by the mayor to partici-
pate in Tuesdays meeting are: E.

change club; E. L. White. presi-,

Most of the men employed since
Friday, it was said, are skilled

ing.
In Raleigh yesterday, Mayne AL
bright, director of the employment
service, issued a call for 'all
good carpenters in North Caro-
lima" for employment at Camp
Davis. The services call said that
North Carolinians would be given
first chance to fill Holly Ridge
positions, but that the contractors
were insisting on. more and more
men, and that the service m ght

The finance subcommittee study
ing Wine control legislation made
more stringent the provisions of a
bill which, as introduced, would have
prohibited the sale of fortified wine
in the "a dry counties. The sub
committee wrote into the bill pro-
vision that even in the "a wet coun-
ties, wines could be sold only in

Later, the house finance commit
