The brides gown was lovely. 1t

with a sweeping train and close
fitting bodice with long sleeves and
a yoke embroidered in beads and
seed pearls. Her f1nger-tip-length

By the Way
-Refh Rlnin..

DCtn OSVtUO
When Mrs. David Edward Fin
ley, who is chairman of the Dis
trict of Columbia Chapter of
Camp and Hospital Council Serv-
ice, chose Mrs. Lewis Thompson
to be her assistant just a few
weeks ago she proved to herself
and a great many other people
that she is a very good picker!
Already completely at home in
her job, just as she is in the
roomy, comfortable house where
she has settled herself and her
family, Mrs. Thompson is young,
vital, attractive and always COM
pletely herself.
She makes you think of rolling
country roads and smart tweed
suits and open fires and gracious
hospitable living. Even her pres
ent house, few blocks off Con-
necticut avenue in busy war
time Washington, has about it
the air of those before the-war
country places where we used to
spend such pleasant week ends.
There are dogs and two attrac-
tive Thompson children and al
ways there are house guests.
Servants hold no bugaboo for Mrs.
Thompson, who says that the war
has taught her how to cook.
A native of Philadelphia, Mrs.
Thompson went to school there
and as very young girl began
her volunteer work in the clinic
of st. Christopher's Hospital
where she worked every morning
for five years. During the de-
preston she and Mrs. Walter B.
Davenport ran soup kitchen
for Philadelphia children. Mrs.
Thompson served as chairman of
the Devon dog show. and after
her marriage when she and her
husband went to live in Red
Bank, N. j., she ran the pet show
there for the Monmouth County
Social Service for eight years.
She likes riding and used to hunt
when there was time before the
war, and she likes tennis.
The Thompsons have been in
Washington for almost four
years now. They came here when
Mr.. Thompson was with the
OPA. He is now in London with
the Board of Economic Affairs.
Mrs. Thompson especially loves
her new job. She is going to help
Mrs. Finley on the new Commit
tee for Flowers and Gardens of
Camp and Hospital Service for
which the final plans, including
the Christmas ones, will be
drawn up and decided upon at a
special meeting tomorrow.

New Sidewalks

There has been some criticism OF the City S
program of sidewalk improvement. One ad-
verse comment is that Wilmington's pictur-
esque beauty is being destroyed by replacing
brick sidewalks with cement Another is that
Gather cracks in some instances are so broad
that women's small heels cannot span them
ard that serious accidents are liable to happen
TO pedestrians at any time Still another is
that money used on the project is misapplied
as long as any people in the city are under
fed and i'll clothed.
OF the first complaint it may be said that
picturesque" brick sidewalks are a greater
hazard of accident than even poorly laid &C.
ment, and that community clinging too long
and too obstructively to its remote past cannot
hope to get ahead however quaint its relics
of the past may be. OF the third, it is fact
that workers are making more money and
more residents are gainfully employed than
at any time in the past, and that charitable
organizations are amply financed to care for
all worthy persons in need There is no excuse
| for any one to go unfed or be inadequately
clothed provided only the case merits re-
lief.
There may be sound reason behind the sec
ond complaint. Poor workmanship is not to be
condoned, nor inefficient inspection. The city
authorities we'll as the persons in charge
of the work are under obligation to see that
ell work is up to standard and remedy any
iapses in performance Of the workers But
first Of all it will be necessary to learn by &C.
tual survey of all work done that any part OF
the general project is below par
The one major complaint, see it, is
that project for standardizng Wilmington S
sidewalks was so long delayed. The work
should have been done years ago.

ADEQUATE Highways Needed

| Tn p House bill which is to be defeated this
wee1< North Carolina would receive $12, 261,-
nm for highway work. The figure is not to be
accented as definitely fixed as the bill probably
will he revised in the House and most certainly
,yill undergo stiff revamping when it reaches
the Senate. But North Carolina is in line for a
eizeable sum of money to be used in develop
ing and improving its highway system, prob
ably On a fifty-fifty basis, which is to say the
state must match federal appropriations dollar
for dollar.
BEFORE any work is started it will be neces-
sary to draft a major highway-improvement
n, ogram and prepare maps OF old and OF new
routes It is this phase of the program which
most deeply concerns Wilmington.
In general map of postwar highway pro-
iects published under Washington sanction and
presumed to have President Roosevelt's en-
dorsement more than a year ago, it was no.
ticeable that the entire Wilmington area was
missing. There was no sign that coastal routes
as now established and new highways inland
we're 10 have place in the plans. We called
attention to this at the time, and feel lmpelled
10 direct attention to it again, now that the
proposal for national highway work has ad-
vanced almost to the floor of Congress.
Among Wilrnington's chief sources OF post
war prosperity is its port. To have the largest
volume OF cargoes for ships in the port it will
be necessary to have the city's highway con-
nections reach the largest possible areas,
not only in the immediate vicinity but at a
distance even into the Birmingham industrial
field, and throughout the heavy producing agri-
cultural regions of this and nearby states. In
Vulnerable truckloads OF products and produce
could be brought to the port and distributed
therefrom if adequate highways were available
Wilraingtons business and civic organizations
and the states congressional delegation, there
fore, have definite obligation to see to it
that in plans for postwar highway development
North Cardinals schedule includes good high
ways radating from Wilmington like the spokes
Ct a half-wheel.

Mail Early

Again the post office department has appeal
ed to the public to mail Christmas packages
early 1t is very reasonable request, and one
the people may give favorable answer with
4 little forethought and early buying.
. Postal clerks and mail carriers have none
too easy life at best. They are on their feet
long hours every day sorting and delivering
postal matter. In addition to their miles OF Pc
destrianism the mail carriers are loaded down
with heavy burdens. The mail sack itself is no
trifle When many pounds OF letters, maya
zines and packages are added, shoulders as
well as feet are wearied long before the regu-
lar trip is completed.
II this burden is distributed over longer
period of time, say early IN December, or
even from the middle of November on, instead
of concentrated in the last few days before
Christmas, including Christmas Eve, their lot
is eased and the universal custom OF exchang-
ing presents at the Yuletide is no way adverse
!y affected.
Furthermore, clerks in stores too are relieved
of the hurry and hustle and nerve-wracking
experiences OF late shopping. when stocks are
pked over and depleted. The difficulty of sat
isfying finicky and troublesome customers is re-
duced to a minimum. Purchasers are more
likely to be pleased by what is laid before them.
1t is difficult to find any reason against early
ekopping and early mailing. On the contrary,
there are any number of reasons supporting it.
