OF my size, it is too late to do any

But, as we say, it is good not to
be in Judge Hardys shoes at a time
like this.
1t would be easier for the Judge
and Andy, and virtually every one
else in Hollywood, if some one in
authority defined the word "es-
sential" as applied to the motion
picture industry.
From here, the word goes out
from many a source that the movies
are indispensable to morale on both
home and fighting fronts. In their
turn, the home and fighting fronts,
feel precisely the same way.
The fact remains, however, that
whenever a film players name
comes up on the draft list, or the
impulse to enlist becomes irresist-
ible, another actor is Topped off the
studios roster
1t makes for confusion, the

Dear Movie Star:
You've got it rough. To few
this may sound crazy, but I

Doesn't he want to defend the
country that's been SO good to
him?"

all wet. I'm no Gen. MacAr-
thur or Jimmy Doolittle, but I
have seen six months action in

their findings. maps, surveys,
photos and factual informant ton.
Cyrus Hogue, chairman of the
City-County Postwar Planning
Committee, said that he felt the
purpose of his groups should be
to get down to a concrete basis
/ by listing the anticipated assets
and liabilities of Wilmington in the
postwar era and to increase the
assets and diminish the liabilities.
Naming the Cape Fear river and
its harbor facilities as chief as
sets, he said that the time is not
too early for preparation of pros
pectus on the development of port
possibilities, housing facilities, pos
sible local employment available
and possible channel improve
ments.
A comprehensive survey, largely
economic, is being made by F. O..
Fockler of the Chamber of Com
merce, he revealed. which will
determine what can be done to
return men to industry and normal
activity here after the war.
The principle problems to plan
for in the postwar period will be
the unemployment of labor and
the development of new industries,
he added.
Members of both groups agreed
On the general magnitude of work
ahead and that aggressive and
vigorous planning will be neces-
sary requiring concerted continuity
of effort.
! Mr.. Hogue pointed out that the
legislative act creating the joint
committee authorizes funds Tor
the employment of secretary.
Hiring of a full-time employe to
bring about continuity of operation
was discussed but no action was
taken nor recommendation made.
It was generally agreed that such
person should necessarily be
familiar with local conditions and
would be valuable in administer
ing the policies CT the board.
Members of both groups express
ed the opinion that the work was
inextricably inter-related and that
it had been helpful to clarity the
scope of each organization.
