IF recreation is preventive of
juvenile delinquency and crime, -
said Mrs. R. B. Harper, president
of the Elizabethtown Woman S
club, then I am doubly glad that
our club has adopted for it's ma
io1 project of the year, recreation
fer children"
Mrs. Harper, visiting headquar-
tiers of the North Carolina FEEDER
alton of Women's clubs last week,
was enthusiastic about her club S
rev project. she stated that the
club would continue it's old prof.
Get, sponsorship of the town Ii
brary, "for we have mothered it
since the time when it consisted
of only one book case" she said.
Since the withdrawal of WPA as
s;stance, the club and the town
jointly pay the librarian, the club
raising its share of the expense
by drives and all kinds of enter
tainments. The club has recently
had 10 per cent increase in mem
bership, and with the work of
equipping playground for chill
dcen directly ahead, Mrs. Harper
says every member of the club
will be pressed into service.
The undertaking of the Eliza
BEETHOVEN club is the sort of club
activity that pleases the federation
president, Mrs. ]. Henry High
smith, and other officials of the
state and general declarations. On

Gently, Mrs. Jonn L. Whitehurst,
the head of the national organiza-
ton, said: THE only constructive
suggestion, after spending m h
time in juvenile courts and with
p1 obation officers, is that all ex-
perts in the subject agree that too
much money is spent for correc-
t'cnal problems and not enough
for prevention. If we were to util-
lze some of that money for health
ful recreational activities, we could

Joining delinquent ranks"
This is the thought that has been
ST. essed by recreational workers
fol Is years, and the North Caro-
lima Federation has all along,
through committees and divisions
of it's various departments, sought
to educate clubwomen and COM
munities as to the need for recre
ational facilities. Many clubs have
to their credit the initiation and
continued support of parks n d
Fairgrounds and other recreational
centers.
At present the Federation seeks
to promote education and activity
in behalf of recreation through sew
era1 channels: The Youth Cooper

fore they are sunk, they try to get out messages giving the sub- marines position.
 The life of a ''pigboat'' sailor thus has brief sharp moments of peril, rather longer periods of tenseness and excitement and long days of uneventful, but always wig liant, cruising to and from station, or of fruitless patro11ing on sta- tion.
 The submarine service has long been a corps de1ite; the men get the best of everything afioat, and in Hawaii their time between cruises Is spent at the Royal Ha- waiian Hotel, which has been leased by the Navy. The officers of the submarine service wear with pride the insignia of the service (go1d dolphins), set in design not unlike the aviator's wings and also worn upon the chest, and the per sonneI receives 50 per cent extra pay in recognition of the hazards of their task. But few of the men, indeed, would shift to safer job, for, as a "sub" skipper phrased it: Submarine duty is not pro- fession or a job; it's way of life. "

American UnderseG CrGft Are Doing Deadly Work On Japs

American submarines W e Drow1ing the waters off Japan re- gently, as they have been doing for the past year.
 Because of naval secrecy Amer ican submarine operations have been Overshadowed in the public mind by the German U-bOat war fare, but our attacks upon Jap anese shipping have been fncreas- ing month by month as our ship yards turn out more and more sub- marines.
 There have been frequent re- ports from Hawaii and from Japan and the Orient of American sub marine operations in close proxim- ity to the Japanese or Asiatic coast. In the waters near Asia, in mtd- Pacific, in the narrow waters around the Japanese-mandated is- lands, in the South Pacific and in the cold waters off the Aleutians, no Japanese ship is ever complete 1y safe from the sudden surprise attack from under the seas. This is true of naval vessels as well as merchant ships; Japanese battle ships and carriers, cruisers and destroyers and even Japanese submarines have been attacked

and damaged or sunk by our sub marines.
 U. s. Subs Run Jap Gauntlet
 A loss of hundreds of thousands of tons has been inflicted upon the enemy by our "pig bcats," despite carefully guarded conveys and despite a patrol or picket line of fishing boats, sampans and small craft that guard the coast of Jap an. Our subs cruising to and from the happy hunting grounds" off the Japanese coast must run the gauntlet of this "line"-which is usually from several hundred to a thousand miles east of the is- lands of metropolitan Japan.
 The brushes with the vessels of this patrol are frequent. The Jap anese radio has a number of times complained bitterly that American submarines have machine -gunned "defenseless' fishing boats off the coast. Actually, virtually no Jap- anese fishing, boat is defenseless; the careful and methodica1 Jap anese mind saw in these vessels a naval auxiliary of considerable inn portance and used them for es- pionage purposes long before the war developed.
 Today, the Japanese fishing fleet, supplemented by other types of seaworthy small vessels, Is still used for the service of infOrma- ton and security. Their job IS to prevent any enemy surprise attack upon Japan, to patrol for subma- rines and to report any and all enemy ship movements.
 Many, if not all, of these little vessels are therefore equipped with radio; some have acoustic CT other detection devices and nearly all are armed, at least with ma- chine guns-sometimes with heav" fer weapons. Occasionally some of these little vessels are tOrpedoed by our submarines, but usually they are not worth the expendi- ture of an $9,00O to $12,00O "tin fish" The submarine, therefore, if 1t is submerged, usually surfaces and sinks the craft by gunfre. One such incident was cited re- gently by the Public Relations off, fee of the Third Naval District.
 Jap Patrol Boat Sunk
 Hundreds of miles from Japan, a homeward-bound American sub- marine sighted one of the Jap- anese patrol vessels. Battle sur- facep the skipper ordered.
 'The three-inch deck guns and machine guns were manned in sec- cnds," the Navy said. "A spray ot lead and shells swept the patrol ship, which returned the fire with all 1t could muster. A running gun battle developed.
 "One man In the submarines crew was hit. Another jumped to take his place as first loader. The Jap sank"
 Such gun battles have occurred many times and, although the Jap anese is always the loser, these small patrol vessels always fight, no matter how great the disparity of gun-powder and size. And, be-
