Flu's Aftermath

Physicians and hospital stats generally
report the present form of influenza which
seems to be reaching epidemic proportions is
much less serious than former visitations of
the same disease. They call it mild. 6
But it is not to be low rated for while it
may not, in itself, possess great power for
lasting harm, it's potential power to so weaken
ones normal resistance that any of a dozen
respiratory diseases may take hold is tremend,
Gus.
Bronchitis, pneumonia, sinus trouble which
can give the victim more perpetual pain than
almost any other ailment, and even tubercu-
losis are all too likely to follow in the after
.math of flu, however mild. Their germs find
their happy hunting ground in debilitated bod.
les.
For this reason it is important, indeed i'm
p~erative, that we avoid contact with flu vic
Tins, and that the victims keep to themselves
to prevent passing their a~ffliction on to others.
AS the Star has alread pointed out, public
gatherings are dangerous, especially in the
aters with their promiscuous audiences.

A Trial Balloon"

1t would be foolish to imply that Britain, hav-
ing taken its Mediterranean convoy to its
destination despite the attack upon it by Nazi
dive bombers, has done more than place a
temporary check upon German activity in the
Mediterranean area.
The British navy, to be sure, again proved
its worth. This particular unit Of Britains
sea power did a good job, as British warshlps
are in the habit of doing. But it must be re-
membered that the Nazis attacked with but a
small force and there is no means Of knowing
how many dive bombers Hitler has in reserve
for further use against the British in this the
alter of war.
Without a blueprint of the Nazi air power
available in the Balkan or African areas the
importance Of this one engagement cannot be
properly weighed, however gratifying the re-
suit.
1t may well be that Hitler sent his dive
bombers into action against the British convo
as a test, to try out the effectiveness of small
lsquadrons and to get a line on British resist

ance. If this is the fact, the Nazi planes were
the equivalent of a trial balloon to spy out the
situation and demonstrate either their own
power to strike a telling blow or the need for
substantial reinforcements in any subsequent
attack in that region.
But if that was the Nazi purpose. the battle
may have been quite as Illuminating for the
British-and much more encouraging. For it
proved the British ability to carry on in what
is likely to be the next major campaign with
as much credit as has marked the fighting
thus far both in Albania and North Africa. It
shows that Nazi forces will have to be greatly
enlarged to cope with the offensive now Under
way against Italy in both Europe and Africa,
and if Hitler concentrates a great force in the
Mediterranean area to save Mussolini or to
destroy the Suez canal, he can do it only by
weakening his forces elsewhere in Europe and
his chance of success in an effort
to invade England in the spring.

WILMINGTON'S OPPORTUNI1
Greensboro Record

In the ALLEGATION of national defense indus.
tries and activities amongst North Carolina
communities, Wilmington, it appears, is slated
for a major portion. The historic and friendly
old port city, strategically and beautifully sit
uated on the estuary of the noble though
murky Cape Fear, has been selected by fed
eral authorities as the site for one of half a
dozen shipyards to be built for construction of
200 merchant vessels as a vital part of the
national defense program. 1t is planned to
build "a ships at the Wilmington plant within
the next two years at a cost of approximately
81, $50, 900 each.
A great anti-aircraft base is being devel-
oped at Holly Ridge, only a few miles distant
from Wilmington. Meanwhile, the Wilmington
chamber of m is negotiating for a
RFC loan for building docks, Wharves and
warehouses. A large municipal port terminal
is planned, one which would increase water
borne freight in the state, reduce freight rates
over North Carolina, and, of course, increase
Wilmington's Importance and prosperity as an
Atlantic port. The Wilmington port improve
ment projects are naturally of widespread in
terest to the whole state, from the standpoint
of defense and commerce.
From the defense angle it is interesting to
recall the vital part Wilmington played in the
War of the COS as home base for Confederate
ships running the Yankee blockade, in and
out the mouth of the Cape Fear river, with
valuable cargoes to and from England and
other foreign countries. But for the blockade
runners plying in and out of Wilmington the
Confederate States of America would doubt
less have fallen some two years earlier than
they did.
In present circumstances opportunity seems
to be at Wilmington's door; and that city,
with traditional friendliness and hospitality, is
in an especially warm receptive and welcom-
ing mood. From the Piedmont, North Caro-
l1ina'S m0St hjoh1v daVelOped industrial region
and the place of origin for vast quantities of
freight in the form of manufactured products,
the Record congratulates Wilmington upon its
ambitious plans and rosy prospects, and hopes
its dreams of becoming a bigger and better
port may soon materialiZe. l

The Nautical School

With. the local Propeller club batting for a
nautical training school here, the membership
Of the present general assembly urged to en-.
dorse it, and Rep. J. Bayard Clark on record
in it's favor, there is good reason to hope that
Wilmington will be the seat of another defense
project.
While the movement is still in its infancy,
having been publicly announced only on
Wednesday night at the clubs monthly dinner
meeting, the Propeller club. well known for
it's energy and capable leadership. can be de-
pended on to do a good job.
With landlocked and open waters at its Dor
ders Wilmington is advantageously situated
for the project, and may reasonably count on
favorable consideration by the agencies
charged with choosing a site. And because
Wilmington is already preparing for major
defense enterprises, the people are in the
spirit best calculated to bring success to any
additional undertakings that will better fit
the country at large and this district in par
ticular for the emergency created by the war
in Europe.
1t is ~pre-eminently the right place for the
proposed nautical school.

No Time To Haggle

This is no time to bargain with fate.
The United States cannot limit aid to Britain
to war supplies which the British can pay for
in dollars or in kind, if it is to retain Its
independent place in the world.
The pressing need is to give and give and
give with the single purpose of so strengthen
ing Britain's fighting machine that it may be
assured of victory over the foe which threat
ems this country, and our own freedom, as
well as the Empire. .
It is right to expect ultimate compensation,
ally if we have a hand in her defeat by reason
of assistance withheld, we will not only lose
what we have invested in her war effort but
everything Sou resources, our industries,
our wealth will go to her ~conquerors. For
with their united might, the dictators will
sweep US into slavery as surely as the Nazis
have enslaved the nations overrun in their
first drive through Europe.
The gentlemen who shout from the housetop
that our fate is not linked to Britain's close
their eyes to self-evident facts. The British
navy is an American no less than an English
The Royal Air Force is fighting our
battle as well as Britain's. The defense forces
in England and the Empire armies in Africa
are defending us no less than their own home
lands.
If they fall we must take up the fight against
hopeless odds. Our job is to see that they do
not succumb.
Our proper course is clear. There must be
about aid to Britain, with production, not
considerations, the chief goal. We
may, and should, keep an eye on expenditures,
to see that every dollar is used to the best
advantage, and on proper limitations of power
to prevent excuses and a threat from within
to our democratic way of life, but beyond this
we must accept the inescapable fact that II
we fall down in aiding Britain what We have
withheld from her now will eventually be
gobbled up by the powers now arrayed against
her.
We. challenge fate when we stop to haggle.

Associated Press Automotive Editor

DETROIT, Jan. 16.-Because of
the demands of the national defense
program there will be no National
automobile show this year.
In making this announcement to-
day, Alvan Macauley, president of
the Automobile Manufacturers asso-
citation, said the decision was reach
ed by the associations board of di-
rectors after consulting with all car
producing companies.
He added that cancellation of the
show, held annually in New York,
usually in Grand Central Palace,
would not affect plans the individ-
ual manufacturers may have to in
troduce new models as usual next
fall. There will be new models, he
added, but explained that the in
dustry had pledged its whole support
to the defense program, and the mo-
del changes will be regulated by the
requirements of the rearmament
task.
The national automobile show
which has been held annually since
1900, first as a combined bicycle and
automobile presentation, is the only
showing sponsored exclusively by the
automobile manufacturers. Other To-
cal shows are staged by local dealers
organizations.

Auto Show Will Not Be Held
Because OF Defense Program

| Apparently in anticipation of a
curtailment of car and truck pro-
duction because of the defense pro-
gram requirements, the industry has
been operating at high levels almost
since the introduction of 1871 model
last fall.
The factories turned out more
than 10000 0 units during the final
quarter of 1910 and has accumulated
a field stock estimated in some quar-
tiers at close to 500, 900 vehicles. 1t
was back at high level output again
last week after the Christmas and
New Years holiday week curtail-
ment. Wards reports estimated last

it became one of the most profit
able of all Broadway dramas.
This year it is The Corn Is

ioyed great success in London. 1t
may have been this fact that dis
couraged the Manhattan produc-
ers. Hits in London are notorious
ly poor risks in New York, and
vice versa. 'Porgy," which made
Broadway history, was a dud in
London. The Distaff Side" which
made Piccadilly history, was a dud
in New York. The reason for this
may be the difference in contem-
porary speech. Midwest colloqui-
alisms can't be very funny to the
representatives of Soho. Strand
slang wouldn't make much sense
in Brooklyn.
However, Herman Shumlin, if
his record means anything, is a

Bishop DuBose

Methodism has lost a stalwart in the death
churchman, editor, writer and archaeologist.
Bishop DuBose, who retired in 1884, was a
native Albanian. He married twice, his Sec

Carolina, who survives him.
His editorial work saw him in charge of

Saloon League of Georgia, 1875, and in 1916
was a member of the unification committee
appointed to work out a basis for r%euniting
the Methodist churches, North and South. In
1912 hi was a commissioner to the Methodist
ecumenical conference in London
Bishop DuBose did considerable research
work on prehistoric races in southwestern
states and Mexico and in 1926 was associated
with DR.. Ernest Sellin of the University of
Berlin in excavations at the site of Shechem
in Palestine. They uncovered traces of five
civilizations and tried to discover the mummy
and tomb of Joseph. At 70 he said he looked
forward to his retirement because he hoped
he would nave opportunity to- return to Pal
estine and continue his search for Joseph's
tomb and other proofs of Biblical history.
His writings ranged from ~treatises on the
ology to adventure stories for boys, the latter
while he was secretary Of the Epworth League,
and for many years he conducted a column
in the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Before
his election as bishop in 1918, he served pas
+orates in Mississippi, Texas, California and
Georgia.
Now. at 50, his labors are finished. Few
men have lived more active or fruitful lives.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-There is
a wailing wall along Broadway be-
fore which most of the New York
producers now are moaning anc
gnashing their teeth. For two years
a play called The Corn Is Green
made the rounds of the managerial.
offices, with no takers. The Shu.
berts had it for awhile but de.
cided they didn't want to do it.
The Theater Guilds board looked
it over, read it, discussed it, read
the London reviews, and then sent
it back to its agent. Finally, the
manuscript bobbed up on the desk
of Herman Shumlin. He liked it.
He assembled a first class cast,
headed by Ethel Barrymore. and
went nito rehearsal. The more he
saw of it the better he liked it.
1t finally opened on Broadway to
high praise from the critics, and
today it is the outstanding drama
on Broadway.
Almost every year a drama
shows up that scores heavily to
the bewilderment of the producers.
Rain" which made the late
Jeanne Eagels immortal, vas kick
ed around for two years before it
found a producer who believed in
it. THE Bat" which earned mil
lions and ran seven years on the
road, languished similarly.
Then there was a play called
within the Law which BROAD
ways managers played basketball
with for two years before the Sell
wynn brothers decided to take a
chance. Horace Liveright. thinking
he had a failure on his hands with
"Dracula." didn't want to open it
but did so because the cast begged
him to as a favor. It ran q year on
