Army Sell.
Davis Shortly
Local Camp May Be Used
For Other Purposes
By U. S.

RALEIGH, Dec. 27-(P)-
Camp Davis, the huge anti
aircraft artillery base near
Wilmington, will be sold or
salvaged as surplus property
as soon as the evacuation Of
troops from it has been COM
p'eted, Governor Broughton
said he was advised today.
The Governor said he was advis-
ed by Brig. Gen. R. L. Fowler,
Of the War Departments division
Of engineering, that the State would
have an opportunity to take over
the facilities at the base after
Federal agencies had been given a
like opportunity. Should the base
not be utilized by either. the Cover
nor said the War Department will
sell if to private interests or sal
wage it.
Gen. Fowler "a d that troops now
occupying the base were being eva
cuated and that the evacuation
would be completed soon.
The camp, located in an area of
swamplands between Wilmington
and Jacksonville, was built in l941
at a cost of more than $40, 0000 600
for use as an snti-aircraft training
base An artillery section later was
aided
The Governor said he had con-
tacted the various State agencies
which might be interested in the
facilities there and that such
agencies would deal directly with
the War Department should they
decide to attempt to procure it"
The complete evacuation of all
ground forces and service units
from Camp Davis is expected to
be ended by December 81, it w@s
announced recently.
The announcement by Governor
Broughton does not mean that the
camp will be sc,d as surplus I'M
mediately, it was learned here last
night from authoritative quarters.
The general pro" edure of the Army
in such cases is tc offer the facili-
ties to the Air Forces. Navy, or
Veterans Administration after
troops have been evacuated.
In the event that none OF the
9gencies desires to use the camp,
the State will have an opportunity
10 utilize it. If none of these groups
takes it over, it then will be salvag-
ed
1t was learned that there was
some likelihood of Camp Davis
being put to another Federal use
shortly but no announcement could
be made last night.

"Past Is Prologue
A THOUGHT ON THE
OLD YEAR

"What is Past is Prologue" is carved
in the enduring stone Of that great
marble building which houses the Ar
chives Of the United States.
Past is Prologue" The dictators
whose insane lust for power laid waste
on continent and whose mad dreams
reached across oceans to engulf US,
should have paused at these words and
considered their meaning-before the
onslaught Of our aroused armies swept
them into oblivion.
Past is Prologue What is our
past but a struggle for freedom for all
oppressed and disheartened people
religious freedom. political freedom,
economic freedom? The founding faith
crs, beloved Of every patriotic orator,
incorporated this urge for freedom in
the classic phrases of the preamble to
the Constitution and in the Bill Of
Rights. which is the Magma Charta Of
our freedom.
Past is Prologue" The past is use
full in determining what the future
shall be. With the past this nation
possesses we could not have turned
aside from the cries for help rising
from the victims Of the new oppres-
sion, those helpless people whose only
e.,
ways Of peace, and that they had pos
sessions the gangster overlords Of Eu-
rope and Asia coveted. With our past
records we could not have turned away
like the Pharisee from the wounded
traveller. For us-with our heritage
of action for freedom-binding up the
injured as did the Good Samaritan was
not enough. The fight was ours. The
task was plain. We had to help drive
the robbers from the Jericho Road.
"Past is Prologue" But the past is
fulfilled only as the desire for better
future which it had inculcated into our
hearts and minds, bears fruit. The
past is but the prologue Of the future
and we must make the future better,
"Past is Prologue" To keep the
promise Of the past we must stand
firm now and fight to preserve the
right. We must not compromise with
evil. We must put into practice the
truth by which we hold sovereignty
over this nation: "That all men are
created equal and are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable
rights. life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" The task is
great, but the past has trained US for
the needs Of the present. We can and
will do all that is demanded of us in
the new year ahead.

ARE WE AFRAID TO DO
JUSTICE?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Are we afraid to do justice?
When | saw that caption in one of
the religious publications that come
to my desk, its implications-it APP
plication to our present problems
struck me like a blow
Are we afraid to do justice?
This is the answer we must give to
those pseudo realists who have for
gotten to remember the idealism which
carved for them, out of an untouched
continent those realities to which they
cling. This is the challenge we must
fling to those isolationists who ignore
the spirit that created from the re-
sources Of the earth a nation sef-suf-
ficient enough to dream it could stand
along.
Are we afraid to do justice?
Must we fear fair treatment for all
men? Must we draw barrier of class
or creed or color and say-at this
pomt-we must modify our ideal of
equality Of opportunity and of justice
before the law? Must we deny freedom
of speech or worship to those who do
not think as we do? Must we keep
some people to the shackles Of ignor-
ance for fear that learning would lift
them to our level? Are we afraid to
give to all men the rights VIC claim for
ourselves?
Are we afraid to do justice?
The world is too small for anything
but brotherhood.B to establish broth
erhood, there must be justice toward
all men. Whoever fears justice for
others viii practice injustice upon
others
Are we afraid to do justice?
The one way to make sure that there
will not be another war is to mete out
justice toward all men everywhere
justice based upon equality before
the law and before God. Not a maud
lin Lady Bountiful charity toward the
misfortunate, but a fair administra-
ton of the law of brotherhood with
out senseless distinctions Of race, color
or theory. To quote again from a re-
ligious paper: "God has made this
earth rich enough for everybody's
need, but not rich enough for any
body's greed"
Are we afraid to do Justice?

Mr.. Frederick A. Thayer, .Jr., Favors
An Adjusted Compensation Of $50
Per Month For The Ill-Paid Public
School Teachers.

To The Editor of The Republican,
Sir:
The County Commissioners are
being asked to levy enough money to
pay our school teachers a sO-called
bonus Of $4,000 per month. think
"adjusted compensation" would be a
better term, for a bonus is always in
the nature of a gift or gratuity, and
the small sum now asked for has been
amply earned by the teachers.
At present this $4,000 a year is
being paid by the State, but that will
not be continued after March. The
modest request of the teachers is that
Garrett county, in line with many
other counties of Maryland, step into
the breach, to prevent what will
otherwise be drastic cut in salary
a little more, in fact, than sixteen
per cent.
How much do our teachers get? On
an average, here in Garrett county.
$122.99 per month. including the
present "benus" of $4,000. Can they
stand any reduction? On the con-
trary, the appalling increase in the
cost of living, the fantastic heights
to which taxes have risen, well-nigh
demand an increase. Remember, too,
that teachers are expected to con-
tribute time, effort. and money to the
public welfare, and to purchase war
bonds and stamps.
During the school year of 1912
1943 more than a third of Garrett
county's $50 teachers resigned. If
salaries are reduced rs per cent, how
can further wholesale designations be
prevented? Let the people speak up,
and assure the County Commissions
ers that they favor continuance by
the County of the $4,000 month-an
act of common fairness and justice to
our No. Public Servants.
