Helpless and forever lost on the very
bottom of distant ocean,
Under weight of hundreds of fathoms
of water,
Vainly gasping for a last, weak, hic-
coughing intake
Of chlorine charged oxygen for ex-
hausted lungs -------------

And where they were, in turn, treas

Every state, every community in this
union of American commemorative;
Violently wrenched away,
And thrown into these sometimes boil

Of blood, fragments of burning or
freezing human flesh,
Exploding TINT; and rending tearing
metal, scalding steam, soaring flames
The whole hellish gamut of human suf-
fering and destruction.
Think of these, flower of America,
Not only those who thus die, near or
far from home,
But also those who, finally, do partially
survive;
Crippled, manned. disfgured, legs gone.
arms gone,
Whole face obliterated,
Ewes put out, forever sightless,
With only dogs to lead them through
stumbling years;
Or helplessly paralyzed, never able to
move the slightest,
Without aid of other human;
Or minds gone, hopelessly, violently
insane; shackled;
Incoherent, alternately mumbling and
screaming in mental void against remorse-

Through long blaeked-out, meaning
less night;

Horrible. Yes HORRIBLE

physical maladies and pestilence,
Spread by all the tropical, miasmic

And vermin, and deadly flying or

Or starved of sustenance to the verge

The wild ruthless wasting of substance

The abrupt and final ending

sacrificed;
The utter wasting of years Of devoted,
unselfsh effort
Of tens of thousands of American ia

daughters, too
The loss of love, faith, charity:
The establishment and enforcement
Of cynicism and hate;
Crushing economic burdens upon all

The maximum of penalty, heaped upon
the backs of coming generations
Of those who are in no way TO blame
The terrible. endless total'of woe, suf

Death to participants and helpless

An endless litany of needless, useless,

FINAL CURB QUOTATIONS
new IT. COUPONS
WILL BE ISSUED
Tickets Will Be In Strips
And Serially Numbered,
Opa Authorities Say

AS a part of the efforts to
tighten gasoline rationing restric-
tons, the Raleigh Office of Price
Administration announced Tues
day through the New Hanover
War Price and Rationing board
that 1914 SGT" coupons for use
by trucks and taxis, beginning
January /, will be in strips rather
than in book form and will be
serially numbered as a means of
closer identification.
Currently used "TT' coupons
issued to trucks and taxis will be-
come invalid after December 81.
The new system, it was ex-
planned, will also result in a ma
jor saving of paper formerly
wasted in the process of tearing
out excess coupons and destroy
ing them.
'T' coupon strips, much like
motion picture tickets, will be is
sued in a new Identification folder
containing on the front the name
of operator, make of car, etc. In
addition, the rationing board will
mark on the folder the range Of
serial numbers of the coupons en-
closed, so that filling station at
tendants can check any ''T' cou-
pom to see whether it comes within
the correct range of serial num-
bers as shown on the Identified.
ton folder.
Beginning January 1, car own
ers, rather than local boards, will
note new license numbers on their
ration books and tire inspection
record, since North Carolina will
issue new auto license plates for
1914 and the numbers will be
changed.

One OF Most Serious Bot

NEW YORK. Dec. 7. 49, up -
Elimination of one Of the most
serious bottlenecks faced by gov
ernmenr and industry at the start
Of the war was reality today.
The final chapter in the STIR
ring story of recruiting steel cop
per and aluminium for war came
with the announcement that the
Steel Recovery Corp. was being
Observation-Disclosures fulfilled.
Last weekthe Copper Recovery
Corp. announced dissolution was IN
progress Earlier, the same dealt
with the unit formed for aluminium.
In all three cases the pattern
was the same. The titanic struggle
to convert industry from peace to
war production was in full swing.
Everywhere there was urgent need
fer mountains of steel, copper and
aluminium.
There were huge inventories Of
all three metals in the hands OF
thousands of dealers, jobbers, re-
tailers and consumers Through the
War Production Board the govern
ment froe every ounce of the three
critical materials where they were.
Practical business men from the
three industries we're called in to
take charge of the job of getting
these inventories to expanding wal
industries. They received no pay.
Three corporations were set ur
as agents Of the government-oWn-
ed Metals Reserve Co. from Their

the country went missionaries or

HOUSING REPORT
IS ISSUED HERE
Wilmington Land Lords
Have Offered 28,l9l
Places For Rent

A total of 28,191 housing accom-
modations have been offered for
rent in New Hanover county since
June l, 1912, according to re-
port just completed by the Area
Rent Control office for the period
ending Sept. 30, 1943.
Of this number, Wilmington

market 26,177 houses, apartments,
housekeeping rooms, and single
rooms in private homes. The bal
ance of 1914 are rooms in hotels,
rooming houses, tourist homes and
trailer camps.
1t was estimated by rent Off
Gals that approximately 5000
rooms in rooming houses have
been available for rent. There is
no way to determine from the
annual report the number of
rooms offered in private homes.
Up to last Sept. 80, total of
1881 landlords had petitioned the
Rent office for increases in rent.
Seventy-two per cent, or 1921, was
granted.
One thousand six hundred and
seventy-two cases on the rent d.
rector's initiative were commend
ed prior to Sept. 80 to determine
if the rents were higher than
those prevailing on April 1, 1941.
1t was found that 1902 were high
er, and they were reduced. All
of these living accommodations
were not rented on April l, 1871,
but were offered for rent there
after so that a maximum rent
had to be set.

Hershey Reveals
$4,000 Men to 60
Every Day in '43

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is INS).
Major Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
selective service director. told the
nation tonight that heads of fam-
lilies and single men with depend-
ents would make up the majority
OF the more than 1000, 900 men
who will be drafted into the armed
forces in 1913.
Hershey and Manpower Director
Paul V. McNutt, in nationwide
radio broadcasts, declared fatty
that the induction of married men
with children could no longer DO
delayed. This is absolutely neces-
sary, they declared, in order TO
build UP an Army. Navy and Ma
rine Corps, of 100000 men this
year.
McNutt, meanwhile. undertook
to discourage any "panicky' mi
grafton of men with dependents in
search of essential war jobs that
would give them deferrable status.
Many Essential Jobs
He told them that they need
fear no immediate change in their
draft status eff you make an
honest effort to get into moro
urgent work, either in civilian, or
war industries"
This does not necessarily mean
getting jobs producing planes,
ships, ammunition. or bomb sights,
he explained. since other things
are equally important to nation
at war-such as production. pro-
cessing and transportation of food,
maintenance of communication,
and supplying lights. heat, water,
and power.
