Two ordinances 10 regulate
horse riders and the launching of
boats on park property were sub
mitted TO the common council
today by John J. ConSidine, super
intendent OF parks and recreation
COnSidne said that riders of
saddle horses on Belle ISie and IN
other parks had been trampling
flower beds and lawns and en-
danGering the lives of children.
Boat launching trailers, he said,
are also damaging lawns on Belle
Isle.
The boat ordinance would re-
quire the owners TO obtain per-
mission from the city before
launching their craft, and the
other restricts horse riders to
designated paths and park areas.

House, which still puts on performances of famous
operas every afternoon at prices ranging from 40
cents to 81.
Next, still reading left to right come the docks
which cover the rest of the waterfront all the way

Behind the docks lie the business and shopping

Farther around to the right, which by now has

Population Estimate

Since Camp Davis was created and the North
Carolina Shpbulding Company established its
plant in Wilmington there have been many
guesses on the population of New Hanover,
ranging broadly from $4,000 to 10000. Be-
cause they were mere guesses, it is gratifying
at last to have figures which may be ap-
praised as fairly accurate.
Distribution of No. ration books, which is
the nearest approach to an actual tabulation
by the Census available indicates that the
population is 1925. This total is less than
many assumed it to be, and probably less
than it actually is, but serves well enough, in
the absence of an exact count, for all practical
purposes. 1t serves particularly we'll in indicat-
ing to federal agencies that allotments of
goods, housing, meats and whatnot based on
the prewar population are inadequate now
If they be persuaded to accept it Whining
ton and New Hanover county will enjoy a
squarer deal than since the war moved in
1t also provides talking point for redis-
tribution of state senatorial representation
With more than 10000 people within its bor-
ders, New Hanover county is entitled to a
senator for every legislative session.
New Hanover county's representative at the
forthcoming session in Raleigh will be JUST
fled in presenting a bill to give his county
senatorial representation as often as the legis-
lature meets, and putting his shoulder to the
wheel for its passage, with full cooperation
rom the State Democratic Committee.

How Red Cross Serves

Few civilians not directly associated with
the wartime activities of the Red Cross nave
any conception of the magnitude or ramltlca
tons of it's services.
A case has just come to our attention whlcf
shows how fine is its work in at least one
of its chief functions in the present emer
gency service to prisoners of war.
Lieut.. Marion F. Barnhill OF Hampstead
writing home, asks his family to give sou te
the Red Cross in appreciation for the benefits
it has conferred upon him and his fellow Amer
lean prisoners in Germany. He urged his par
ents not only to make this gift themselves
but to tell their neighbors and everybody they
contact to do as much. without the help O.
the Red Cross he wrote 1.-The life OF prison
ers of war would be pretty tough"
If this great service to war prisoners is tt
continue in proportion to the need, money
must be forthcoming to maintain it. Whining
toms quota is not large-only $4,000. Surely
no one with normal human reactions can be
reluctant to give, yes, more than they com
fortably can afford, to keep the life OF oul
boys in prison camps from being pretty tough

ice Commanding officers in that day Gid not
shoot prisoners when they could not intern
them. This was left for the Germans in the
Low Countries and France and Russia.
But it was the respect for him, which Dor

iustifies this anacdote. lecturer some quar-
ter century ago, who incidentally, was also

album of American History"
edited by James Truszow Adams
(Scribners; $3.50.
James Truslow Adams has ex-
actly reversed the usual plan OF
historians in his album of Amer
lean History Instead of large
amount of text, leavened with
scattered illustrations, the book is
made of great many illustrations
with a scattering of text dropped
in where there happens to be
room.
The intent of the book has been
to tell the story of America from
the day when Columbus first sail
ed west on through the Colonial
period, thus leaving plenty of
room for two OF possibly three
more books to be issued later.
Obviously Mr.. Adams is too much
OF historian to have any illusions
about his product - album of

from Columbus to the Revolution.
But it is probably the finest one
volume collection of authentic pic

available to the general public, and
extremely interesting from every
angle.

The Marianas

Save for Guam, the largest island in the
group, Americans had small interest in the
Marianas until Admiral Nimitz sent his task
force to attack the Japanese entrenched in
them. They consist of fifteen volcanic isles

eral north-south axis for 500 miles between
Japan and the Carolines. Uracas active is

Detectives of the raid on the Marianas were
Saipan, with several air fields, and Tinian

islands enemy war planes took off for the
Carolines and Marshalls, were dispatched for
service in the south and southwest Pacific.
AT the southern end of the Marianas chain

United States from 1893 to December 1871

Daily Prayer
FOR A PEACE SPIRIT IN WAR

FOR A PEACE SPIRIT IN WAR
While we wage war with all our
resources, and with utmost devo-
ton, we would still crave from
Thee, o. All-Seei1g Father, a
pure passion for peace. In Thine
inscrutable wisdom Thou hast call
ed us to confront with our bodies
and with our handiwork foe who
has declared war upon all that
Thou hast taught us to hold
precious in life. We look to Three
for victory. But we would make
war without hate, except against
the things Thou --latest. Even in
the midst of sanguinary strife we
would cherish more and more the
glories of peace - peace among
men and nations. and peace with
Thee, our Lord and our God. De-
liver us from all british spirit of
vengeance; and prepare us to be-
come friends and brothers and
helpers of our foes, after victory
has been won. May something of
the large hearted spirit of Him
who cried, in deaths agony,
IF ther forgive Them" be granted
unto us. His disciples. Thus save
our souls from smallness and bit
terness and revenge; that we may
inherit world that will forever
be the home of peace. Amen

BY ERNIE PYLE

IN ITALY, -(by WireleSS)-All
the highways from Naples north
are thick with speeding conveys
of supplies, day and night.
Lights are used right up to the
combat zone. Both British and
American trucks crowd the roads.
Drivers pound the big trucks along
at 40 and so miles an hour, and
the main highways are no place
for nervous Nellie.
The highways over here were
originally good macadam, but now
they are filled with holes from
the intensity of the traffic. E1gi-
ners work on them constantly.
At the edges of the cities the
roads are wide and lined with
stately sycamore tree. You feel
as til ough you were driving
through a beautiful tunnel.
Both the American and British
armies have put up thousands of
stenciled and painted signs along
the roads, directing drivers to the
numerous units
When you come to a central
crossroads you can see anywhere
up to hundred signs clustered
on top of small stakes, like flow
er garden in bloom.
If you were really puzzled about
your destination you'd have to pull
off and study the hodgepodge for
five minutes before finding out
anything.
Somebody in our army must
have been a roadside advertising
man before the war. fo- we have
all kinds of signs along the high
ways in addition to the direction
signs. They are tackled onto trees,
telephone poles and posts.
There are many in the Burma
Shave poetic style, the several
phrases being on separate boards
about so yards apart, such as this
one: IF you leave-good clothes
behind - you may need them
some other time" That's an ad-
monition against the American SOL
dier's habit of abandoning gear
when he gets more than he San
carry.
Another one in Burma Shave
fashion, and of dubious rhyme
says, Some like gold-some like
silver-We like salvage-bring it.
will your"
There are also frequent warm
ings against veneral disease, and
one sign way out in the country
says, "1s your tent clean?" A lot
of front-line soldiers who haven't
even been in pup tent for months
would get laugh out of that one.
AS we advance mile by slow
mile across the Italian mountains
and valleys, our many command
posts are set up wherever possible
in Italian farm or village houses.
The houses are mostly all alike.
They are very old and substantial
looking, yet they shake all over
from the blast of our nearby guns.
Sometimes the Italian family
still lives in one room of the house
while the Americans occupy the
rest. At other times the family
has gone-nobody knows where
and taken with it everything but
the heaviest furniture
Faded pictures still hang on the
walls - weddings group pictures of
10 years ago, and full-face pic
