witz, yesterdays bride, was reported

torpedoed.
Subsequently she was picked up
after having been adrift on q raft
for 10 days. She and Miss Margaret
Somerville, another Red Cross nurse
and the bridesmaid yesterday, at
tended two British and five Norwe-

Navy OF YOU out there on the
fighting fronts once worked side by side with
us here at United Air Lines. It's hard for
us to visualize what your lives must be like
today. For we. ike so many millions of
Americans. have no enemy hurting bombs
and shells at us to remind us that his GOAL
is our total destruction.
For that reason. perhaps it has taken us
longer to realize the full meaning Of about
war. Perhaps we've let food rationine, and
taxes. and the number of miles we can
drive our cars become overly important to us.
And perhaps reading the accounts Of
bitter sea. air and land battles has made
some Of us on the home front think Of our

world at war.

Marshall's Forecast

Because General George c. Marshall, the
American chief of staff, is not given to fire.
quent public utterances particularly prophe-
sizes. and also because he is prominently men,
ticned probable commander of combat
forces based in the British Isles, his an
nouncement that this global war is entering
its final stage is significant. And because
he is better acquainted with the world mill
with the possible exception of President Roose-
welt, we may be assured that what he says
closely approximates the truth.
Naturally he refrains from any reference
10 the pattern of United Nations strategy,
nor can he foreteH the time required for
bringing an end to this final stage, but the
fact that the highest military authority in the
land stakes his reputation on a definite fore
cast in his report to the secretary of war,
gives his announcement more importance than
any statement on the conflict that has come
from any previous source
1t is to be noted that General Marshall is
not commentator paid to analyze the war
and draw conclusions from obvious trends at
so much per broadcast or article. He has
nothing to gain by sensationalisrn. He could
lose much, including public confidence if he
were wrong Certainly he would not place
himself on record, as he has done, unless
he had positive proof to support his position.

Teaching is not the sole objective. In addi-

Pupils, particularly those just entering high

would be within the right Of the

And quite frankly, this wander

bore after a while. Miss Bottome

Adler get themselves all messed

This must start with a credo to

Because of this, I think Phyllis
Bottome's "Survivar' is not a
novel at all, no matter what the
publisher puts on the jacket. It
is really only a demonstration of
Adlerian psychology upon a plat

Something Is Happening
To Republican Thinking

the last few months, during a time
when our official leadership seems
to have gone dry.
Secretary Hull has been COM
municative chiefly in disputing
with columnists. And for some
reason which is not clear, Presi-
dent Roosevelt has come to have
a contemptuous attitude toward his
press conference. Once tn e
meetings were useful in giving the
public, through the newspaper cor
respondents, better understand
ing of what was going on. Now
the Roosevelt press conferences
are brushed off with almost no
information at all, SO that they
are coming to be almost as un-
productive as those of Collidge,
except that Roosevelt uses up
more words in telling nothing.
At the moment it is left to some
Republicans and columnist's
book to set the American people
thinking about the most fateful de-
cision that this generation must
make.

Sanitorium Project Advances

Completion and approval of plans for New
Hanover county's new tuberculosis santori-
UNI, as announced by Dr. John c. VESSEL
brings the project one step nearer site
remains to be chosen, cottages for the nursing
staff and attending medicos are still to be
designed But these are minor details in COM
parison with the hospital itself, which has re-
ceived the endorsement of DR.. P. T. Mccain
of the North Carolina Tuberculosis sanitor-
ium, and so may be accepted as meeting the
requirements of a modern retreat for VIC
TINS of this dread disease.
The thought to be emphasized is that pre-
liminary steps for creating a sanitorium to
replace the old one near the airport which
was found untenable when work on the base
assumed major proportions and air training
and patrol was greatly expanded, are prac-
tlcally completed and the most important re-
naming step is public support for the project
1t is probable that public election will be
required. That means that something more
than moral support will be needed. There
must be ballot support
Doctor VESSEL feels certain that a large
majority of ballots cast in such an election
would be favorable. Wilmington and N W
Hanover county would not do their manifest
duty if they were not. But recent elections
IN this area have attracted so small a frac-
ton OF the voting strength that no issue de-
clded at the polls has represented true ma
Jorlty. 1t would be splendid tribute to the
Tine work of the sanitorium in the past If

The Lost Generation

The address Of DE- Harold D. Meyer, execu-
tive director of the North Carolina Recreation
commission, was particularly helpful to local
leaders in this essential activity and may be
expected to bear fruit in general quickening
of community effort under the leadership Of
Jesse Reynolds, Wilnington's new recreation
director.
Doctor Meyers reference to the tlost gen.
GRAFTON of this war;" youngsters from twelve
to eighteen, who feel the impact of the con-
flict but are too young to get in uniforms, -
was a spur to local humanitarians to find
ways to hold their interest and keep them
from slipping into evil channels of thought
and worse practices.
One of the biggest jobs the United States
will face when the war is ended is to restore
in youth its shaken faith in the nations fun
damental institutions. How this may be done
is not entirely clear but we cannot doubt that
one means is directed, coordinated construc-
tive and competitive recreation

they will learn 70 strive for victory which
is an essential ingredient of success in life.
Wilmington cannot engage in better en-
terprise than the salvaging of this lost gen
Grafton as Doctor Meyers calls it, but which
with equal truthfulness may be designated
as the pewildered generation Of this wal

WASHINGTON. - SOmethmg is
happening in American thinking
when a Republican politician with
the sensitive antenna of Gov. Dew
ely says we should have perma-
nent military alliance with Great
Britain.
He accepts, in his talks at the
Mackinac Island Republican con-
ference, the necessity of joining
with other nations to use force
to subdue future aggressors.
Gov. Dewey recognizes, as a
great many people are coming to
recognize, that our attempt to keep
our own freedom of action has
been failure. We have refused
to make alliances. We have re-
fused to commit ourselves to any
future course of action.
But that has not given us free
dom of action. Instead, twice in
the lifetime of this generation, the
United States has been forced for
self-protection to go into W l d
wars which it did not start.
Our very inaction, our very at
tempt to preserve our isolation,
has perhaps encouraged the start
ing of those wars which we found
it impossible to escape.
One well-knoWn American cid
Ell talked with Nazi Foreign Min
lister Ribbentrop shortly before the
present war began. He told Rib
bentrop that if Great Britain were
threatened, the United States
would intervene in the war as she
had done before. Ribbentrop laugh
ed at the idea. He said America
would never go to war a second
time. He cited the isolationist SEN
tilnent in America as proof that
Germany did not need to fear
American intervention.
Would Hitler have d / e d to
plunge into war if he had been
certain that the whole weight of
the United States would be thrown
against him?
If the principal industrial ma
tons now join together. and make
it clear that they will crack down
with force whenever any nation
threatens the peace, the chances
are that nobody will dare invite
certain disaster by starting trou-
ble-and certainly not after an ex-
ample has been made of the first
offender.
This is all very bitter swallow
ing for men like Senators Taft and
Vandenberg, who prefer the plush
horses of the Gay Nineties. They
will try to distract attention from
the realities and play with wordy
cancellations about sovereignty.
But as Chairman Tom Connally of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee said the other day, every
time we sign a treaty we sign
away some of our sovereignty.
AS a footnote, Gov. DeWey's
press conference remarks at Mack
mac Island indicate his conviction
has been clarified and strengthen
ed by Walter Lippmann's book,
~. S. Foreign Policy" That col
umnist's brief analysis has had
deep effect on the thinking of
Americans about our place in the
world. Indeed, this has been one
of the constructive influences of

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Carolina Beach has got some
thing; but unless the people of
Carolina Beach wake up and re-
alize just what it has got, there
will be a cry of too little and
too late First, we extend an in
vitation to everybody living at Car
lima Beach to come and visit the
community clinic located in the
back room of the old city hall on
the boardwalk. We've got every
thing needed to call it first class
well equipped clinic.
Through the courtesy of Mrs.
Homer Wysong, widow of the late
DR.. Homer Wysong, this first aid
station is the last word in any
emergency to save a life. She has
loaned us all of the doctors oper-
ating equipment to use as we see
fit. and if necessary, doctor
could perform an operation right
in our clinic, with sterilized in
struments at hand. And people of
Carolina Beacs1-that' something.
Now, what we need is volun-
teers to man that clinic at all
times, night Or day. At present
there are three registered nurses
and three Red Cross graduates and
three volunteers, which isn't halt
enough for our needs.
Mrs. Hannah Block of Whining
ton and Carolina Beach has done
wonders to get this clinic started.
She has the clinic room painted
snow white with every facility for
that kind of work within arm S
reach, and if you could have seen
that room before she took hold
and cleaned it up, you would know
just what she has performed.
There is a class starting today.
Glasses will be every Thursday
and Tuesday nights at 7 o'clock
for five weeks. We hope every
man and woman on Carolina Beach
