Life Guard Essential

Pending health department opinions on the
water of Greenfield Lake with respect of bath.
ing, the city administration is proceeding with
improvements in facilities for bathers. A bath
house 10 under construction. There will be an
extension Of the bathing beach and other bet
terments for the greater delight and comfort
of patrons. The assumption naturally is that
adverse opinions on the water are not expected
and that the lake this summer, as always.
will be a favorite swimming hole de luxe,
One other betterment should not be over
looked. In fact it is more necessary than any,
thing else the city could provide. 1t is the en-
ployment of life guard or guards who will be
on duty throughout such periods of the day as
bathing is permitted. The safety of the bathers
particularly the children who always flock to
the lake, is paramount responsibility upon
the city authorities.
1t would be better to abandon all improve
ments and close the lake to bathers than let
1t be used without lifeguards

lis individual heat control for apartment dwell

And as for the janitor-no more fights with

have no one but themselves to blame.
Even the apartment house owner is going
Ito benefit, according to the people who have
this new gadget up their sleeve. They say he'll
save money.
Yes it will be minor miracle but a pleas

Fifth War Bond Drive

The local goal in the Fifth War Bond cam
paign looks high and in comparison with
money drives conducted in Wilmington before
1.-THE war, it is. But in view of the greatly in
creased earning capacity of most everybody
lin this area the s5707,OOO quota is not only
|attainable. 1t may be surpassed without &C
Itual sacrifice in the essentials of normal living.
1t may be necessary for many among us to
give up certain luxures. Everybody will have
Ito rebudget revenues to an extent and shave
expenditures a little closer, but in doing so
Twill be laying up riches against the day when
'nest eggs will have triple value. Remember.
a war bond bought now means easier times
/ in decade when earnings may be much
Hover than at present and financial reserves
|1nay represent the difference between perjury
land comfort.
There will be need for additional commit
|ments by wage earners and salaried folk, as
well as investors with substantial capital One
way to do what is expected, especially of per-
sons whose bond purchases will be restricted
Ito the Series E issue, is to turn every avail
able dime or dollar now into war stamps, so
that when the campaign opens stamp books
will be filled and ready to convert into bonds.
Try this out, and see how much easier it
will be, when the call comes, to own that
extra bond expected of you.

One Language, But

Some 1000 mothers and children, sent to the
United States during the Luftwaffe blitz over
England, have returned home. This seems to
indicate British authorities are as sure there
will be no more destructive German air raids
over the snug little isle as American authori-
ties were certain there would be no enemy
attacks on our shores when they reduced Civil
ian Defense forces to skeleton staffs
But what holds greatest interest in connec-
ton with the return of these English women
and youngsters is the amazement of the home
folk over the language spoken by the repa-
trates. One newspaper proclaims in a head
line: 1000 to re-learn English
One can well imagine the surprise Of a
staid English father being greeted by the son
ne has not seen for a long time, Hi va, pop!"
Says one dad my daughter was four months
old when she went away. Now she is four

FREIGHT RATE DIFFERENTIAL

Clales believes the action is mot thing in
the world but favoring of the state closest
to the eastern ma: is in granting higher
prices on the basis of freight differentials
They're just giving them the benefit of
these freight differentials" he said
Illustrating his contention of the discrimina-
ton in property values, he contended the OPA
action lis just the same as saying that an
automobile on one side of the road must sell
for more than car of the same make and
value on the other side of the road.
THE courts have held that growing timber
is part of the property upon which it stands, !"
he continued. There's no reason, then, why
any agency should be empowered to say that
a million feet of timber on thousand-acre
tract in North Carolina is worth less than the
same amount of the same kind of timber on
tract in Virginia, or in any 9TH
err state'
Clark feels that he, Reps. John H. Kerr
of Warrenton, and Harold D. Cooley of Nash
vile, invalidated the argument of OPA that
production costs are higher in Virginia than
in North Carolina. Backed by the Tar Heel
producers, they showed that labor and Stun
page costs in their state are often higher than
in Virginia.

SEEK BAILEY BILL CHANGE

Opposition by labor leaders to asserted reg.
imentation' features of the Bailey-Brewster
work r-be-drafted' bill may mean that liza
bility for penalty service in army work bat
talions" for failure to transfer to war indus
try may be dropped from the measure in
favor of modified turnover controls.
Army officials who have fought for months
for national service legislation admit that a
prime objective is to reduce the monthly en-
ployment turnover of about seven per cent IN
war industries. This attitude was made ap-
parent Monday by COL Francis V. Keesling,
Selective Service laison officer, in testimony
before the Senate Military Affairs committee
headed by North Cardinals Senator Robert
R. Reynolds.
'Obviously,' he said eff we eliminated from
the Bailey Brewster bill all of its provisions
except those extending the Tydings amend
ment Controlling turnover) to cover industrial
workers as well as farm workers, turnover
would be materially curtailed and the man.
power situation would be materially I'M
proved
Senator Josiah W. Bailey, OF North Carolina,
is co-author with Senator Owen Brewster, Re-
publican, Maine, of the work
proposal.
A fight is in prospect, however, before any
Hesitation of this nature is enacted Gener-
al1v. the feeling among members OF congress
is that if the nation could get along without
a draft of war workers during the critical
early days of the war, such program is not
now essential
