RED CROSS MOTOR
CORPS ASKS HELP
Volunteers Needed To Car
ny On Work OF Sup
plying Services

The Motor Corps, popular volun-
teer service organization Of the
American Red Cross, is in urgent
need of new workers, Mrs. Walter
E. Storm, captain of the corps,
said Sunday.
The Motor Corps was created for
the purpose Of furnishing efficient
transportation VIII ever and
wherever needed by the local Red
Cross chapter. Consequently the
activities of this group are exten.
sive and varied. Members of the
Motor Corps supply transportation
for home service workers and 9th.
err Red Cross agencies. They also
deliver canteen supplies for service
men at the Atlantic Coast Line
station, transport production sup
plies to the work rooms of the
Production Corps, provide ambu.
lance service for members of the
armed services, and participate
in public parades.
1t is hoped that many new volun.
teers may be recruited to carry on
this essential work done by the Mo-
tor Corps. Applicants for member
ship must be between the ages of
20 and 30 years and must possess
a North Carolina drivers license.
When fifteen volunteers have sig
,ified their willingness to serve by
registering at the Red Cross office
in the customshouse, a course of
training will be offered

WILDCATS RESUME
HEAVY PRACTICES
Injured Players Expected
To Be Ready For Will
son Friday

The New Hanover High School
Wildcats swing back into heavy
work Monday afternoon in prepa-
ration for their encounter With
the Wilson Coons in Wilson Fri
day. Coach Rupert Bryan has
confined the Cat practice SEES
sions to light work only in the
past week, due to the numerous
Injuries sustained in the Raleigh
clash on October %.
Hampered greatly by the loss
of KEY men, Bill Aud, Piggy
Dyches and Johnny Synmes, in
an early stage of the Raleigh tilt,
the Wildcats were unable to give
an account Of themselves that
would indicate their true strength.
Despite this defeat, which is their
only setback, the Cats still rank
as one of the most potent high
school grid aggregations in the
state.
The Hanover squad is expect
ed to be in pretty fair condition
for the Wilson engagement, &C
cording to Coach Bryan, although
some of the players will still be
feeling i'll effects from their in
juries. Bill Aud, versatile back
field star of the Cats, will be
confined to the sidelines with a
persistent knee injury, that has
kept him from exhibiting the skill
that brought him recognition as
one of the finest backs In the
Eastern Conference last year.
Flowing Piggy Dyches, the 190-
pound battering ram of the Wild
cat backfield, is expected to be
sufficiently recovered from an
ankle injury to be able to fill his
customary fullback slot in the
Hanover backfield.
Johnny Symmes, sophomore
backfield star, is expected to be
ready for action against the Coons
Friday, as his injured ankle is
responding nicely to treatment,
according to line coach AL Chi
miego.
The remainder of the Wildcat
squad is in readiness for the Will
son contest with the exception OF
Guard Norman Piner, who is suf-
fering from an ankle ailment, the
seriousness of which is not known.
The Hanoverians will stress
work on a defense this week to
curb the tricky 'T" formation
employed by the Wilson eleven.

dislike of military matters by dep
recatinf their Importance and sig
Eificance in history
We belong to generation fed
upon the prejudice that military
affairs were the concern only of
'militarists' and that the serious
study of war leads to v'armonger-
ing. What the two great wars of
our generation ought to have
taught us is that ignorance of evil
is not protection against evil,
and that unless war is taken as
seriously by those who mean to
prevent it as it is by those who
conspire to wage it, the free and
pacific nations will perish.
We may hope, then, that the
universities will recognize that
military history is history that they
care not neglect and that re-
search in the theory of war is at
least as important as research in
the theory of taxation, currency,
corporate enterprise, labor rela-
tions and the social services. For
war, when it comes, quickly DOM
mates all the other interests of a
democracy: how, then, can a de-
mocracy be said to be fit for self
government if it is not versed in
the history, the problems and the
issues on which its very survival
may depend?
In
hope that many of the younger
men, who have interrupted their
careers to fight the war, will come
back to become not only teachers
but thinkers in military affairs.
One of them will, we may hope,
turn out to be the Mahan of the
age of air power, the Clausewitz
CT the age of mechanical war. We
shall need him in the future. For
the chronological development of
modern war has run far ahead of
our intellectual grasp of war, and
not only in diplomacy but in the
structure and composition of our
armed forces we shall need true
doctrine.
This war has shown that in
equipping forces and in employing
them in battle, the nation is well
endowed. But it has also shown
that our long neglect of the seri-
Gus study Of the grand strategy of
war has caught us with an insult
ficient number of men in civilian
life and in the professional SER
vices who are prepared to shape
policy. There is no short and easy
way to remedy this neglect. Only
deep seriousness, of which Mr..
Earle's book is so fine an exam
pie, maintained in the universe
ties for long time to come, can
give the nation the men who know
how to guard the Republic.

In that event they will probably
be attacked also by amphibious for
ces under Gen. Ivan Petrov, Sc
vastopol hero who recently rewon
the Taman peninsula in the eau
casus just opposite the eastern
Crimea.. The Soviet Black Sea
fleet also is waiting to pounce on
any German attempt to evacuate

Inside the Dnieper river bend,
far to the north of the Crimea, the
Russians said their troops killed
about 1000 Germans in new gains
southwest of Dnepropetrovsk, and
killed 5000 more in savage tank
and infantry engagements near
Krivoi Rog. Scores of tanks, planes
and guns were destroyed during
the day, the bulletin said.

Although the German high COM
