LEWIS COLEMAN
REVIEWS RECORD

Lewis J. Coleman, candidate for
reelection to the county commits
sion, in reviewing his platform
said here yesterday, II have al
ways stood for lower taxes,
better drainage system, keeping
the welfare department and its
institutions on sound business
basis, and particularly in repre-
senting the masses of people with
square deal for all and special fav-
ors to no one"
In a letter to his constituents,
Mr.. Coleman states, II know that
YOU are vitally interested in the
men who shall serve as your pub
lie servants during these trying
times. Through your good will and
support, it has been my pleasure
to serve you as member OF the
board of county commissioners
during the past three and a half
wears during which time l have
earnestly tried always to represent
the interests of the tax payers and
citizens. On every issue that has
been presented to the board, I
have conscientiously voted and
supported only those measures
which I believed a majority of the
citizens of our county desired. I
have tried to spend the public
money wisely"
The letter continues, II cannot
escape the feeling that you will
agree with many who have told
me that they believe am trying
to represent all the people of the
county and not just a few"
Mr.. Coleman, a general contrac-
tor, came to Wilmington as an
orphan at seven. After several
years work as a messenger and
newsboy, he learned trade as an
apprentice. For a time during the
last World war he worked for the
government constructing army
camps and then returned to Will
mington to work for the remainder
of the war in the shipyards.
After the war, Mr.. Coleman went
into construction work here and
except for short period has re-
sided here since.

What's New
In Business
British Labor S War
Record Behind u. S.
Nv WARD SCHULTZ

American labor, too often
maligned. has wartime record
in which the publIc-and man
agement-can afford To take
honest pride.
Without in any way condor
ing strikes or stOppages, II
seems 10 me that facts con-
tanned in a tabulation in the
current issue Of Business Week
make the average working man
in this country look like fairly
patriotic fellow.
The figures include a com-
parison of the records Of
American and British labor and
while IT is recognized that this
is difficult 10 appraise accu-
rately, because of the difference
in the size OF the work forces,
II gives a pretty good idea OF
the situation.
Too. one must realize that
the British worker had ne
enemy only . miles from ms
shores and was fighting for his
actual existence from day 10
day. That should have given
him some added incentive 10
keep on the job.
Here are Business Week 5
figures:
