EARLY HEARING
ON AIRLINE seen

F. O. Fockler, executive secre-
tary of chamber of commerce here,
said Friday he has received in
formation which leads him to be-
heve that { hearing by the Civil
Aeronautics board to review ap-
plications for airline route certifi-
Gates along the Atlantic seaboard,
and involving Wilmington, will be
held sometime in February"
At The time the CAB hearing
is conducted in Washington, the
chamber of commerce will be re-
presented by Fockler, who will de-
clare the need of air service for
Wilmington, he said.
Answering formal resolution
submitted to the CAB by the City
of Wilmington, in which it was
asked that reconsideration be Civ
en- to the applications by several
airlines, Chairman L. Welch
Pogue wrote City Manager A. c.
Nichols that ''the board is pro.
ceeding with all possible speed in
developing an integrated air serv
ice pattern.
Pogue rurther said sit should
be noted that deferment of a
final decision in this case for
reasonable period should not be
detrimental to the interests of Will
mington, since no equipment is
available for operation of the pro
posed air routes at this time.
After consultation. with Presiden
Roosevelt early last fall, the CAE
deferred final action on applica
tons by five airlines, all of which
would have provided air service
for Wilmington, because, Pogue
said, lit was felt that the develop
ment of our international air trans
portation system into the Carib
bean and South African area!
should proceed under a nationa
plan which integrates through op
erations along the eastern sea
board" This case, he said, will
be promptly determined when al
integrated air service pattern ha
been adequately developed.

HOPE IS HEARD
BY EXCHANClTES

In an address to the Exchange
Club Friday, John E Hope, Star
News editor asked the question:
Take stock of what we shall do
now to avoid relapse OF the city
in postwar days to it's status OF
pre-war days"
In making a brief inventory,
Mr.. Hope pointed out some facts
designed to maintain a progress
i've community. Avoiding fac
tional jealousies, the dissolution OF
cliques with public unity looking to
single detectives free from discord
are essential" he said.
A dozen new plants, similar in
size to Blocks Shirt Co., Ethyl
Dow Chemical Co., Spofford Mills,
ETC., along with the assured main
tenance Of the shipyards would
sustain our city in a favorable
postwar position. Development OF
port commerce, freight rate ad-
justments, improvements of public
eating places, hotel facilities and
extension of city limits are sound
economics vital to maintain Will
mington in the one hundred thou
sand population class.
Mr.. Hope further pointed out a
good neighbor program with Viii
mington as the hub of a united
area. Agricultural expansion. ane
better marketing, educational ia
cilities, a convention hall, improv
ed play grounds and juvenile de
linquency were listed among thu
necessary factors for communit.
action.
Exchangite Wilbur Jones intro
duced Nathan M. Johnson into thu
club.
Sam Berger announced the win
ming of the second quarter inter
club bowling contest.

dent, presided.

''Hobgoblin- House, a mystery
farce by Jap Tobias has been
chosen by the New Hanover High

nual play. it was announced Fri

Miss Grace Green, director, ex-
planned that the play was selected
over a number of outstanding
mystery plays. It is said to possess
swift action, and to be replete
with such interesting characters
as an old housekeeper, two Ne
groes, an old maid, lugubrious
ghost-voice, and other routine per-
sons. Tryouts are being held at
the present time.

surprised or outraged by the fact
that the women who always have
had money are still buying expen-
sive clothes.
We all seem to have set our
selves up as judges of how the
people who are making some
money for the first time in years
should spend what they earn. But
none of us thinks it is any of our
business how it is spent by the
people who have never had to
scrimp and save and do without.
As long as we are going to con-
sider it our right to question how
the wife of the war worker, or the
women welder herself manages
her pay check, let's at least be
fair.
FROM OVERALLS TO FURS
Let's not just lump together the
war workers who are making good
money and spending more than we
think they should as so many ir-
responsible wage earners. Let's
Try to see them as individuals. If
We dc that, we'll be a little more
understanding.
We might not be so critical of
the woman in overalls Who buys
an expensive fur coat. if we knew
Low long she had wanted one or
just how much it means to her. Or.
of we stopped the consider that
sha earned the coat by long hours
of Welding. which is more than
can be said Of most of the women
who wear expensive furs.
Sure, everybody should be saw
ing in war time. But it is quite
likely that the war workers we
hear criticized for eXtrava GRANGE
are putting as much or more into
war bonds each week than those
who question their right to few
