Onward, British

Because British successes in Libya are get.
ting to be a familiar story there may be a
tendency to discount their importance. Never
theless, the capture of Derna by the Army Of
the Nile must be set down as significant.
This town was taken only a few days after
Tobruk fell, and that means that the striking
power of the mechanical British forces has
not been impaired by previous victories. Also
the very fact that the advance has been con-
tinued indicates that General Wavell means
to push his advantage to the limit.
The next objective, of course, is Bengasi.
That port is not likely to come into British
hands as easily as Derna, for it lies far to
the west and the terrain should offer Ma"~aal
Gaziani opportunities for effective resistance.
II he is not getting German help he may be
able to deprive the British of this prize or at
least delay them.
But II German help is on the way to Libya,
the British will be more glad than sorry. In

Editorial Comment
POSSIBLE PUBLIC SCHOOL
IMPROVEMENT
Charlotte Observer)

(CnaflOtCe ODScTVcI)
The consolidated factors of the public school
interests of the State are not taking seriously
the effort of State Superintendent Erwin to
have the Legislature raise the pay OF the
teachers by a fiat ten per cent.
They, of course, are ardently interested IN
such a proposal, but for the most part, they
regard the program as impossible of financing
at the moment
What these united interests are asking, now
ever, of the Legislature is provision for a
ninth month increment: that is, an increase
in salaries of all teachers who have been in
the service nine years.
About 1000 of them would be materially
benefited by such an increase. And they would
be the type of teachers who would be the
more entitled to such consideration, the more
trained and experienced in this public service.
The Legislature, this newspaper is con-
vinced, ought to make this provision for these
teachers if it is at all within the area of
financial possibility and The Observer IS In
no wise reluctant to assert that, in its judg-
ment, the funds necessary for this grant can
be found by the budget-making factors OF the
General Assembly,.
II the educational system of the State
can receive at the hands of the present
Legislature:
First, the retirement provision now
pending:
Second, the ninth increment for teach
ers, and
Third, the addition Of the twelfth grade,
tremendous improvement would have been
made and justice, long delayed, have been
done for teaching forces Of the public
schools.
This newspaper believes the people of North
Carolina would support these movements and
applaud the Legislature for such a strengthen
ing of the public educational program.
The cost of all of them might, in the ag-
gregate, frighten the more conservative minds
away from the enterprise of trying to do all
Of these things at once, but, laying aside the
retirement provision, the two other improve
ments being advocated, namely, the ninth in
crement and the addition of the twelfth grade,
could be financed for around $750,000 for the
first year, and that is none too much for the
State to be dumping into the enrichment and
the fortification of the public school program
at this time. 3

Three Sweepstakes

We have never met Van S. Watson, Jr., OF
Rocky Mount, but from what we hear of his
accomplishments it would be an honor to shake
his hand.
Mr.. Watson, a recent graduate of State Col.
lege, walked off with the sweepstake prizes
at the North Carolina Crop Improvement as
sociation's seed exposition at Greensboro last
week, for the best wheat, the best barley and
the best soybans.
1t is always compromising to do the best
job at any given task, but particularly COM
mendable to beat the field in agricultural
achievement. In the present case a full share
Of credit must be given to State College which
gave the young Rocky Mount agronomist the
training and the incentive to excel all com.
p%etitors.
When native intelligence and industry are
combined with skilled training, the results are
bound to be on a high plane.

No Paralysis Now

As time goes on the reading Of Adolf Hill
Ier's speeches becomes more and more a pro-
ftless task; it is useless to read them Tor
or truth. The latest address on
the eighth anniversary Of the Nazi regime IS
the usual patchwork Of distortion and les
cannot expect to find hope in pledges
or guarantees backed by a mound OF ruth
lessly broken promises. All that is left is the
possibility of gaining some hint Of Hitler's
future plans and even this is minimized by the
existence of a conflict in which surprise is a
dearly sought advantage.
Winnowing through the chaff of buster and
bravado in this latest speech leaves only a
few grains Of information and virtually no.
thing that we have not known before.
Who is there that needs to be told that
Germany has taken into full account the
possibility of United States aid to Britain?"
Who has ever doubted that the Nazis, il they
can, will torpedo ''every ship with or without
convoy that approaches Britain with Ameri-
can aid? These, like the boast that Germany
has EARNED and armed and armed ar e
known factors that we face just as the promise
of military surprises is obviously the stuff Of
which propaganda is made.
But the director Of the reich has made a
glaring error If he believes, as he declares,
that the democracies are suffering from
brain paralysis which makes it impossible
for them to offer any effective resistance to
his plans.
That was a true estimate two years ago; it
was why France fell, Britain Jagged, and the
United States was so slow to comprehend the
that it faced. But the democracies
shaken off those mental shackles now.
In that lies the best hope that Britain will be
to survive the offensive by land and sea
and air which Hitler promises this spring and
the United States will be able to secure
herself against any possible attack.

Buying Time

Secretary Of War Stimson, in his testimony
on the lease-lend bill before the senate foreign
affairs committee, put his finger on the strong
est argument in the administrators arsenal
when he said that through it an ''unarmed
and unprepared' America is buying time"
in which to build up its defenses.
That is all the warrant needed for the gen.
eral policy of aid to Britain and the other
nations resisting the aggressors. The Ameri-
can people realize that the defeat Of these
nations would place the United States in dire
peril because this country would be left al
trolling the resources of four continents-for
even huge Russia, with Germany on one side
and Japan on the other, would be compelled
to accept Axis dictation.
Hitler and his satellites might not attack
Immediately, once they had struck down Brit
ain, but the economic penetration Of S o uth
America would be promptly pushed. Political
penetration would come with it. We should
be continuously faced with the need for de.
Gliding between resistance and retreat. In time
should be encircled, and even before that
Hitler might decline to wait for us to COM
plete our two-ocean navy, our S $4,000 airplanes,
our mechanical army.
That is the argument, and it is compelling.

By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-Broadway
has a liveliness and a cocksure-
ness today that wasn't there before
the Christmas holidays. A number
of new plays is the ar ,r. There
never was anything the matter
with Broadway that a few good
dramas wouldn't cure, and now
that they're here the street seems
more sure of itself, the lights
across Shubert alley seem to twin
kle more provocatively, and all's
right with Manhattan.
1t is my impression that the
most cockeyed stimulant show
goers have had is a charming lit
tie piece that goes rader the en-
tirely adequate name of Arsenic
and Old Lace" The tempo to this
idyll is set by two sweet old la
dies who just can't stand to see
nice old men hungry and alone in
the world. So in a Christian spirit
of helpfulness they quietly dose
them up with ,rsenic. Presently
there are bodies all over the place,
and you can go on from there. If
I didn't know better = would sus-
pect George S. Kaufman of hav-
ing a hand in this.
Then the new Gertrude Law
renee show, Lady in the Dark"
has had people running around in
circles, and it is said that SIS was

sanity of anybody who would pay

SIDNEY LANIER.
Poet And Musician

Dear to the heart of the South
and of the Confederacy is the name
of a man brilliant as an English
scholar and unexcelled as poet and
musician, a man who did his best
work while fighting against great
odds for life itself. That man is
Sidney Lanier, born February 3,
1912 in Macon, Georgia. Therefore,
today the United Daughters of the
Confederacy pause to pay tribute
to this "sweet-singing poet as
he has been called.
From early childhood Lanier was
passionately fond of the flute and,
almost self-taught, mastered it suf-
ficiently to help support himself for
many years. While serving in the
Confederacy his flute was his con-
slant companion, %affording him and
his companions many hours of
pleasure while resting around the
campfire. When he was captured
and placed in Federal prison the
flute was struggled in with him.
So sweet was his playing that he
was allowed to keep it to play for
his own consolation and for the
pleasure of the guards.
1t was while in prison that his
frail health began to fail. He was
released from prison in February
1865, and returned home penni-
less and in bad health, but with
his inseparable companion-his
flute. In a search to regain his
health he accepted two positions
in the city of Baltimore where he
enjoyed much happiness as Eng
lish lecturer in Johns Hopkins uni
versity and as f1utist in the famou:
Peabody orchestra.
AS futist Lanier was unsurpass
ed in his day, and was known as {
lecturer of note. AS lecturer he was
deeply loved and respected, seem
ing to command attention from
the moment the tall, frail man with
wavy-black hair, blue-black eye:
and fair skin entered the room. Hi.
lectures were refreshing and phil
osophical for one so young. He per
sonifed the labor of a generation
to bridge the chasm that the Wal
Between the States had cut in the
cultural and economic life of the
South.
Memories of the flutist and lee
turer may cling to those who knew
him, yet his poems are destined
to be the channel through which
posterity is to know him. People
who sat at his lectures knew thu
musical, singing undercurren'
throughout which was characters
tic of his poems.
Perhaps no genius has gained
more in renown than has Sidne,
Lanier since his death in 1881. H,

lay out money like that in times
like these for premie-c seats. 1t
isn't that they want to see a show
they can go back the next night
and see all there is to see for
LAO. They want themselves to be
seen, which is their business too,
though I must confess it seems a
stupid business to me.
Now that I have PANIED all the
people who paid Ito s%calpers) high
coin for the privilege of witnessing
Miss Lawrence's premiere, let me
tell you what you already know .
that she is a lovely erson, and
most highly regarded by critics,
by producers, by managers, di-
rectors, t~icket-office helpers, ush-
ers, and, what is more important,
by her dear public. 1t was Noel
Coward who once explained the
dear" by saying that my public
that paid $3.50 for a pair of tickets
was inexpressibly dear to him. He
said this to Miss Lawrence. 1t was
an effective speech, and I never
forgot it.
And then there is Sonia Henie.
1t will be a long while before
New York forgets the thrill it has
once each winter of seeing Miss
Henie and a gorgeous ice show al
the Garden. You see other people
skate and think it pretty and for
get all about it. But when you see
Miss Henie skate you feel that il
is so easy you rush off and try il
yourself. It is then that you know
you have been duped, and tha1
Miss Henie is really a beautiful
enchantress who has made the al.
most impossible feats seem child

A Real Sensation

sion wearing pants. But Miss Hepburn's ap-
pearance was genteel in the extreme when
compared with that of a young woman who
danced her way into the coronation ball a
couple of years ago when Sarasota, Florida's,
Pageant Of Sara de Sofa was at its height, in
q halter and swimming trunks.
This pageant is Sarasota's principal yearly
gesture to the visiting gentry from here and
there who swell the Golfers of its merchants
throughout the winter. 1t is comparable on a
small scale with the famous Mardi Gras at
New Orleans and Mobile, and the eliminating
event is its ball on closing night when the
king and the queen are rowned with much
pornp and circumstance and formal attire is
the order of the evening. Not just dinner

m1d-V1ctorlan and modest, at least until the
fourth round of cocktails.
Imagine, then, the sensation when a beauti-
full belle, just in from the beach, tripped past
the ticket takers and ~loiterers near the en-
trance, with hair in strings, shod in beach
slippers, and otherwise as scantily CARRIED as
Gypsy Rose in her heyday. There was a gasp
or two and someone hurried up with a male
bathrobe. But the dainty miss would have
none of it and made her way straight to the
foot of the throne, salaamed before it, and
circling one of the attending court SWANS,
stiffly military and sworded, about the Shout
