FOR us

This marks the lonely grave of American soldier
who died for his country while serving in barren, icecapped
land There other jungle cleangs sandswePr
plains There hundreds Of unmarked graves beneath
tossed The important thing is that here lies man who
sacrificed the ultimate for who loved live
wanted grow up with his family, his children
rompin rushing meet him as came home from work.
CThere will be other such graves The wars full toll far
from exaced But home do much keep down the
number of crosses We do much by working harder by
buvng more and War Bonds. That duy-let's
do day in day until that great day Of Victory arrives

for it. But it wasn't money that Henry Ford
was interested in Here was opportunity to
learn by doing was making the most of it.
Years later, the watchmakers touch and
the creed of precision learned by Henry
Ford in those winter nights were to guide the
building of 80 million cars and trucks. More
over, it was Mr.. Ford's knowledge of watch
making that prompted Inauguration Of the
assembly line This in turn brought shorter
working hours, increased wages, made life
easier, and is now speeding equipment to
preserve our American way of living

New cars belong to the future. But when
tomorrow's Ford, Mercury and Lincoln
cars arrive, they will reflect anew the
watchmaker's skill, the accurate workman
ship, and the engineering resorcefulness
that are typical of Ford Motor Company.
AS in the past, they will be motor cars
that are reliable and economical, smart and
comfortable And they will be priced with

Mr.. Ford has declared: "The profits we are
most interested in are those the public gets
from using the things that we produce. The
only real profit is the public benefit"

ForrestaPs Qualifications

A mans fitness for job depends in almost
equal proportions on his knowledge of the task
itself and his vision of its needs. Both of these
qualifications, we may well believe are pos
sessed by James Vincent Forrestal, whom
President Roosevelt has selected to succeed
Frank Knox as Secretary of the Navy.
There has been some speculation in Wash
ington as to whether it would be Forrestal or
some one else more prominent in politics. Mr..
Roosevelt is to be commended for choosing
the man who's chief concern has been. and
is. production and procurement of ships and
muntions-not politics.
AS second in command to Colonel Knox, Mr..
Forrestal has materially aided in raising the
NAVY from less than 100000 to more than g.
100000 men and from less than 400 to nearly
LOO combat ships.
He is 50 years old but looks ten years
Younger He is not tied to desk. especially
when it is possible for him to oroaeen his
knowledge of the Nays needs and ire power

For A Greater Library

Wilmington is proud of its public library.
Considering the handicaps under which it op-
crates, its growth and services are truly re-
markable
But Wilmington should not be satisfied with
its library. 1t is capable of having one con-
tanning four or five times the number of vol
umes now housed at the City Hall, and home
of its own.
Among projects planned for the peace era,
Wilmington cannot settle upon one that could
give greater public service than fine library
building in a desirable location with volumes
meeting the need of every technical and casual
reader
This can be accomplished if Wilmington sets
itself to the task. It will involve bond issue,
not only for building and equipment but for
books as WE'LL and adequate appropriations
from the public funds for operation and main
tenance
Great libraries cannot be operated on a
shoestring Wilmington deserves a great Ii
brary. 1t can afford great library. Let the
planners do the Necessary spade work for it
now.

by leaving his office. This was illustrated last
winter when he witnessed the Marshalls in.
vasion from Warship.
When the former World war came, he was
working for Wall Street brokerage firm He
enlisted as a seaman, second class, but was
transferred to the air force, and left the SER
vice in December, 1919, as a full lieutenant.
When the war ended, he returned to his
former employment and became sufficiently
prominent to be called one of the boy won.
ders' of Wall Street. In 1881 President Roose-
welt appointed him an administrative assistant
and in 1910 nominated him for the new post
of Under-Secretary of the Navy.
One of his finest recommendations for the
post of Navy secretary is that he would rather
stay out of the limelight than bask in it.

Moonlight, Roses, Warmer

WASHINGTON, we understand, has new
Weatherman-a young man to whom weather
means romance and poetry as well as wind
velocity and barometric pressure. He doesn't
mind saying Sunny instead of "clear,'' or
describing a potentially balmy summer eve
ming as moonlight and warmer
But how is he on heat? Is his attitude real
istic? If it u.s. he's the weatherman we have
been looking for these many years. We've
lived through some summer heat waves but
have never yet found weather,nan who would
make forecast of 'hot.'' The temperature

tory limit loses all real meaning; for, at
whatever figure it is set, everybody knows

Army and the Navy"
We can expect the national debt to con-
tinue to rise as long as the war lasts. There
is no way that it can be frozen. But the
Times insists something can be done for the
benefit of the taxpayers, in the form OF strict
err controls of the outflow of public funds.
It says:
What we are entitled to ask. in the
meantime. is drastic economies in monde
tense activities, wise spending OF war
funds themselves and above all, some
first steps taken now, with view to
meeting our great postwar fiscal prob

budget system, modelled as nearly as
practicable on the British plan. The Re

from presently fictitious limits on the ma
