British
Book Week
Oct. 24-3O

DRITISH BOOK WEEK will
ID be observed in the public
libraries of Detroit. Oct. 24-3O'
II was announced today by
Ralph A. dwelling, city llorar-
ian. British Book Week is spon-
sored by the International
Relations Board OF the Amer-
can Library Association, and IS
planned as the first Of a series
OF weeks on the United Nations.
The purpose of British Book
Week, said Mr.. dwelling, is the
creation of better understand
ing between two allies who are
working well together on the
military front, but who must
learn TO understand and trust
each other as peoples.
Mr.. dwelling pointed out that
understanding between Brltons
and Americans is taken for
granted 10 a much greater de-
gree than in the case of China
and Russia. Yet there are
fundamental differen ceS be-
tween the two EngliSh-Speaking
peoples which have often Gre
ated antagoniSn.
Mrs. dwelling said: Its an
advantage 10 have a common
language. but the British can
too easily understand what We
say about them. and vice versa.
j is 4 good idea 10 read about
the British. and find out what
they are really like and what
they think about us.
The Hon. Cyril Cane, British
consul Will act as chairman Of
the film forum 10 be held IN
the main library, Tuesday, Oct.
IS. at SIS p. m. in celebration
Of British Book Week. The films

Have Heating Equipment
Inspected and Repaired
BY ELEANOR ROSS

WHILE food is still the coun-
w try'S number one domestic
problem, fuel comes next. And
AS the days shorten and the
weather gets brisker, we know
that it won't be long before
heating the house takes major
place on the home schedule.
There is an urgent, indeed. an
overwhelming need for fuel con-
servation,, and to this end every
heating plant. every Stoker.
every oil burner and every gas
burner. as well as other equip
ment used for space heating
purposes, should be SeTViced by
an expert heating man.

Not Accepted

The first girl was a nice
young person with no outstand-
Ing qualities. She was told she
wouldn't be accepted at that
time.
One fairly attractive girl spoke
well. She opened her mouth and
sounded every syllable distinctly
but she didn't show much con-
fidence in herself.
A medium tall girl came for
ward and her very appearance
was agreeable. She stood beau
tifully. head high, high chest
and flat abdomen. She was
fine looking girl but while her
tones were good. she didn
speak distinctly. She was BASH
full in conversation but even SO,
she was the one accepted. /

Were Unprepered

I remember after the last
world war how unprepared for
and almost bewildered we wives
and sisters and sweethearts
were by the grace and solemn
look in the eyes Of our men.
II took us a long time TO under
stand them and 10 get really
acquainted with them again. We
had been so far away from the
war.
But il is different today. with
radios and airplanes and black
outs and practice alarms and
women working in war fac
tories. We know-and we shall
be prepared. Prepared to meet
men who have had TO think for
themselves-and be quick about
it-aS a paratrooper or a gunner
has TO think for himself.

She Stands Erect

The director agreed with me
but said. What a fine young
person ?" Didn't you notice how
proud and beautifully she carried
herself? She has a fine noble
character and if / am not ms
taken, she will make a name
for herself. / don't care whether
she helps or not I'm going 10
work with her.
She said she noted that the
Girl was little bashtul and
really couldn't express herself
well but that may be due 10
some environment. She said any
Girl who stood so well and
walked gracefully had pride and
intelligence and could learn
easily.
II takes little time to learn
TO stand and walk beautifully
but this is a wonderful social
achievement.

Prepare
Soldiers

BY HELEN ROWLAND

ONE THING for girls and
" women TO think about-and
a very happy thing-these days
is how TO prepare 10 meet the
returning soldier. For whether
this war be long or brief, that
will come, and it will be our
day!
We must expect 10 meet a
very different man from the
laughing. carefree boys we
kissed good-by; an older, more
responsible. more serious man.
a man who has lived many
wears in one: who has seen
suffering and horror all around
him walked through ts!ias and
CraWled through jungles.

Food That Satisfies

There will be no more deli
catessen wives, I'll wager, and
no more wives who cook with a
can opener. These boys, when
not in battle or flying. have
been exceptionally well-fed.
Never were soldiers at war so
wel-fed before; and the idle,
bridge-playing wife, can't get
away with serving a canned
shrimp salad in a dinette.
The girl on the Home Front
has her work cut out for her If
she prepares herself TO meet
the returning soldier and at the
same time hold down a war
lob.

Time to Think

These men have had much
chance to think, too, of the sort
of world they are fighting for
and what they want il TO be
when they come back. And we
women have got to help them
make the world over and re-
build il nearer to their hearts
desire. For no man ever desired
such a world as we have today.
Many girls who are now draw
ing down good war job salaries
and enjoying their independence
and prodigal spending will be
needed in the home more than
in any job after the war. And
preparing a home for the re-
turning soldier and learning 10
be a homemaker should be their
first thought and greatest
pleasure.

Do 1t Now

Again it behooves motor vehicle owners TO
secure new license plates. They may be pur-
chased at the local office of the North Caro-
lima Motor Club, On the Second street side
of the Cape Fear hotel.
Wise owners will attend to this unacceptable
business early and get it off their minds. The
less thoughtful will be caught III the rush as
the deadline nears
With so many more motor cars in the city
than used to travel its streets, there will be
distinct advantage in being among the first
to buy licenses. Every day it IS put off the
crowd will be greatec and if tie past is a
fair index the closing Gays of December will
find queues of owners stretching from the
office doors to Grace street ard around the
corner.
A little forethought will save you this in
convenience
1t is to be noted that this year city license
plates are to be bought at the same office.
Instead of two transactions. owners may dis
pose of the whole thing in single operation.
It means more work Cor the staff but will
be much easier on the purchaser.

More About Paper Drive

With the waste paper campaign announced
for December it is to be emphasized that
contributors can avoid creating fire hazards
by bundling and tying newspapers and mag
aznes and comprising W. appiEg paper and
scraps that accumulate in waste baskets in
boxes or cartons, and store all ir safe places
away from inflammable material ard match
es.
This was said a few days ago in this COL
umn, but its importance is sufficient to JUS
tify this repetition. The same care urged
upon house and apartment jewellers applies
with equal or even greater force at h e
schools which are to be repositories between
collections.
Paper has assumed unaccustoned impor-
lance in the war effort. 1t must be saved
for reprocessing. But it would be too high
price to pay for it if, through careessness
in boarding or handling, any building should
go up in flames.
The plan as worked out by W. B. Stewart,
county salvage chairman. and h e Junior
Chamber of Commerce, is for residents to
take their waste paper to the school nearest
their dwelling place, in the interest of gasoline
conservation, where it will be gathered weekly
IN Army trucks. For the convience of per-
sons unable to deliver their own paper, school
children of the neighborhood are to be en-.
couraged to gather it.
During the scrap metal drive, which set
such high mark, the boys of the Brigade
collected many tons in toy wagons and on
their bicycles. They may be depended upon
to do as well in rhis crusade.
The chief need, then, is for residents to
accept obligation to see that no scrap of paper
escapes Let Wilmington and New Hanover
county again prove their right to be among
the leaders.

Fifth Freedom Needed

The Atlantic Charter defined four freedoms
for the world. There is fifth which ought
to be added for the United States-freedom
from bureaucracy.
If it is not added quickly, this will become
totalitarian nation with the state supreme
and the people its pawns. 1t happened in Italy
under Mussolini and in GERMANY under Hitler.
Make no mistake aoout it. Il car happen here
too
+ For longer than we think the United States
have been moving in this direction. Already
the Individual is fette~ed by directives from
bureaucratic agencies with no constitutional
right to exist but have usLrped despotic au-
thority over business and industry to the ex-
tent that private enterprise is dead.
Wilmington has been feeling the heavy hand
of bureaucracy in the form of hearings
for grocers who, chiefly because neither they
or any other person can interpret Office OF
Price Administration rulings, have violated
price ceilings and are being forced to close
one department or another for varying Pc
RODS of time, when at the best, with all in
full operation, Wilmingtonians have serious
trouble getting enough food to sustain their
families.
BY what authority does the OPA set itself
above the courts which alone have the con-
stitutional right to rule in criminal cases,
whether felony or misdemeanor? Only through
fascist usurpation
Let it be clearly understood, this newspaper
is in hearty accord with the prnrositon that
fragrant and malicious violations OF price cell
ings ought to be punished But 1t insists that
as long as courts exist the punishment should
be imposed by them, not by OPA hearing
commissioners who have no constitutional
standings And it also insists that no dealer
whose worse offense is his inability to know
what the OPA is driving at, when its inter-
mlnable bulletins contradict themselves page
by page, and through which no man can
wade though he devote his days to reading
them, deserves to have his store or any de-
partment in it closed On orders from an I'M
constitutional source. Grocers cannot inter-
pref OPA directives any better than child
can interpret the catechism.
Beyond doubt there are grocers who seek
to profit by war conditions at the expense
OF consumers They deserve punishment. But
the constitution provides channels for its inn
position. The courts are still open Let Of
tenders answer in the legal halls of Justice.
Let the United States restore its democratic
government and have freedom from bureauc-
racy before it is too late.
