HOLLY RIDGE, Feb. 11.-R-
This roadside village 80 m e S
north of Wilmington is rapidly
blossoming into a full-fledged ma
tional defense boom town.
Two months ago it was but a
hamlet of % inhabitants. Today it
is mushrooming into a city, for
here Uncle Sam is building Camp

20, 900 soldiers.
Nothing to Do
Early in December there was
nothing to do in Holly Ridge but
sit around the stove in Postmaster
c. C. Hines general store.
A visitor could see only a few
houses and a filling stttion and
store on one side of the railroad
tracks and a tiny freight depot on
the other. Nobody ever bothered
to stop here save a lew statesmen
who sold stock for Hines store.
Now things are different.
Land which could be bought for
a dollar an acre has skyrocketed,
and real estate men are selling
small lots described by a villager
as 1.-TWO collar rows rs feet long"
for ST, 500 each.
Thousands flock here daily to
work and seek work. The state
highway patrol has erected quar-
tiers for four patrolmen who are
on 24-hour duty.

War
Interpretive
BY KIRKE L. SIMPSON

Winter weather is the ally upon
which British strategists appear to
count most heavily in starting a
diplomatic offensive against the
Nazis in the Balkans.
Britain seems to have everything
to gain and little to lose by driving
Germany into action now, whether
that action takes the form of an at
tempted invasion of England or an
explosion of the Balkan powder key.
There remain only a few weeks of
severe weather on which the British
can count. If Germany can be driv-
en- to action within those weeks, how
ever, the weather might prove the de-
Gliding factor in the battle On either
front.
In pressing the diplomatic often
