SCHOOLS TO OPEN
HERE AS PLANNED

~ can see no reason now why
N W Hanover county's schools
should not open on schedule" DR..
Carl v. Reynolds director of the
State Board Of Health, said yes
terday.
:. Dr. Reynolds pointed out that
the past two weeks period in
which this county reported no new
cases Of infantile paralysis would
seem to indicate that the disease
is on the wane here, and that the
opening of schools would not be a
health hazard.
with few exceptions where polio
continues to develop, North Caro-
lima counties will probably open
schools on the 18th," DR.. Rey-
holds commented.
DR.. Reynolds statement does not
constitute a final decision in the
matter, however, as the emergency
committee on polio of the Conso-
hdated Board of Health here must
make q Recommendation for sane
ton by the board
Z 1T is probably that the emer-
gency committee will give its ten
tative approval sometime next
week On the opening" DIR. A. H.
Elliot, city-county health officer and
one of the committee members, re-
ported. -. "a
However, the ban on the gather
ing of children under IS years OF
age continues in effect. and strict
adherence to its restrictions is
urged by the health authorities.
The ban was made effective, on
its passage, until the actual date Of
school opening.
J. w. Grise, assistant superinten-
dent Of schools, disclosed this
morning that teachers from all
over the United. States are begin
ming their trips to Wilmington and
that plans are going forward to
effect the opening Of schools, Mon
day, September 10. - ..r:
The, first meeting Of school
principals is set for next Monday.
and general teachers meetings will
be held next Fridy.
New Hanover county has report
ed seven cases OF polio since June
l. None of the cases has been
violent, and no deaths have occur
red. It is the consensus that this
county has, to date, suffered a
comparatively light epidemic Of
the disease, counties in the upper
portions Of the state having had
by far the. highest sickness rate.

% minutes, before the submarine turn
ed and fired at the Greer. The Greer
then attacked with it's guns. This was
war. Charles Hurd, Times correspond
emit, called attention to the fact on No
vember 8 that the Greer was not the
only such incident. There was also the
case Of the Kearney and the Reuben
James. He wrote that information had
come belatedly that "in all three cases,
the destroyers were hunting the sub
marines-the Greer to report where one
lay and the other destroyers in an act
ual effort to destroy them" w. Averill
Hartman, the Presidents personal a.
gent in London, said November %:
"The U. s. Navy is shooting Germans
German submarines and aircraft at
sea-.
The Presidents difficulty arose from
the fact that he was waging a foreign
war while at the same time assuring
not take them into war. But men like
Herbert Agar, editor Of the Louisville
Courier Journal, an ardent New Dealer
and a leader in one of the war commit
tees, caustically reproached the Presi-
dent for making these pretenses when
in fact the Lend-Lease Bill was an act
"to enable him to conduct an undeclar-
ed war on Germany"
1t must be conceded that the Presi-
dent dared not admit that he was max
ing war because the country was still
registering it's opposition to war in all
the polls. Yet we were in fact at war
and it was not until long after Pearl
Harbor that the people began to hear
and realize the truth. We had been at
war-shooting warrior many months
before Pearl Harbor. Mr.. Arthur Sulz-
berger, publisher of the New YORK
Times, devoted to the Presidents war
policy, said in a speech last year: Il
am not one of those who believed that
we entered the war because we were
attacked at Pearl Harbor because we
were already in the war;. Indeed In
Washington today the man who would
say in informed circles that we did not
enter the war until Pearl Harbor would
be roundly laughed at.
The assumption, therefore. that on
December this country was in state
of peace and was therefore in a condi-
ton where it could plead surprise at
an attack is utterly without foundation.

White Bear
White Bear is the name of man, a
full-blood Quapaw Indian who is living
now. His home is at Quapaw, Okla,
where he is we'll and favorably known
for miles farther than his neighbors
can see the smoke from his tepee. The
word tepee is not literal. of course
White Bear has comfortable home,
children and grandchildren to brighten
his declining years. He is past 10.
White Bears small income from oil
royalties has shrunk lately to bare
substance. He shared his wealth,
when he Rad it, freely with people less
fortunate than he, red men and others.
Some grandparents live in the past, but
not White Bear. He has remained in
terested in things, probably because of
his youngest child, an only son. The
boy was a true Quapaw brave, in fact,
a paratrooper.

seemed far too cheap for one 90 great
and noble as an American paratroopers

his mind and the officer told him hov
much the government would pay toward
a more pretentious funeral The old
tribesman took the suggestion and ae-
cepted the credit.
Honor TO Whom Honor
At home the young brave had been
prominent and popular, loved and ad-
mired by many. He must now return
like a hero. Handsome things the father
desired cost s72 more than the govern
ment's fixed amount. White Bear paid
without protest. Then. leaving shipping
instructions with the officer, the un-
happy father disappeared. Out TOWARD
the highway he went without dollar
to thumb rides home in time for the
funeral.

iy true; Specimen Of . vanishing race,
sore Of foot and dim of vision, trudging
hungry, quite ignored By
hurryins traffic; q stranger in his ma
tive West, too proud to beg, too honor
able TO steal.
Help At Extremity
South of Kansas City a short way,
White Bears time was more than half
gone, bis vitality almost depleted and
his journey not yet half finished when
help came. A suburbanite who had seen
Indians before, sparing his tires along
the highways outer lane, saw the old
man with perceiving eyes; dismissed
him two hours later, strengthened with
a 81 steak and humbled with ticket
home.
How ideally American is this elder
of the Quapaws. From his eyes no
gaudy tears, no simpering about eco
nomie inequalities, no railing at "the
SYSTEM" no harping about rigid Army
rules. With admirable independence he
faced what might have been his last
crisis, alone, with bitterness toward
none. Warmed by neighborly interest
however, his faltering English was
eloquent to glorify his scion, his state
and his race.

Today, Fee JOitB, pHo regh-
Iarly conducts this column, turns
10 ouer TO guest columnist, the
famous J. Allen Boone, noted
animal expert and author OF
Letters to Strongheort."
BY ]. ALLEN BOONE
MORE men, women and children
AVA are acquiring and companion
ing with dogs and other pets at
the present time than during any
other period in history. The I'M
derlying reason for this is both IL
Illuminating and highly significant.
In essence it is this: The average
human being today is so fed up
with the individual and collective
insincerity and misbehavior of his
own species that he is turning to
dogs and other types OF pets for
that something he needs but is
not getting from his own kind, as
naturally as flowers turn to the
light.
1t was my privilege to live for
many months with the most Ia
nous and accomplished of all four
legged screen stars, the never-to-
be-forgotten Strongheart.
I merely furnished company for
him, a kind of social secretary as
1 it were, for an extended period OF
time while his owner and director
were away from California.
He had been so well educated
by Larry Trimble. so well encour-
aged to be himself and do his own
thinking, that l had to let him
teach me in order to keep intel
ligent company with him.
THE method used In this from
Il dog to man instruction l car
| highly recommend for all kinds OF
pets. With the aid of a dictionary
and a book of synonyms, / wrote
on paper all the qualities l coulo
identity in Strongheart that we
humans regard as beautiful, gooo
and true" and then carefully
watched what he did with these
qualities in his everyday living.
II was one of the most revolu'
tionizing, educational and philo'
sophical experiences I ever have
had.
One Of the particularly useful
things Strongheart taught me IT
this connection. and which has
been of enormous help in my con
facts with animals, snakes, birds
insects-and even my own kind
is that each of us broadcasts him
self in all directions from the
exact level of his thinking. his
