Azaleas On Display
AT Fechtie Residence

On the lawn at 1910 Princess
street is a sign saying Visitors
Welcome. The reason? Such a
riot of azalea color as is not
to be found anywhere else in
so small an area.
The home is that of F. H.
Fechtig, purchasing agent of
the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road company, and the azaleas
are the pride and comfort Of
his daughter, Allie Morris
Fechtig, who is head of the
production rooms of the Will
mington Red Cross chapter.
Miss Fechtig says the sign
on the lawn means exactly
what it says, and urges the
public to visit her garden.
White, pink, lavender and
watermelon azaleas in full
bloom form a pattern that no
visitor will soon forget.

"Peace on earth, good will toward
men"
One thousand nine hundred and
forty-four years ago yesterday, If
we can believe the Gospel of st.
Luke, this program for human liv-
ing was given the world by host
of angels. chanting the news of the
Saviours birth.
1t remains the best program ever
given the world. 1t Is the only pro-
gram for today II we wish to make
this what Henry Wallace has called
the century of the common man.
And yet the utter irony of the
first phrase as we read the news
from every quarter of the globe!
Peace on earth? Our sons are kill
ing or being killed in many foreign
lands, while we at home wrangle
with one another. There is no peace.
There can be no peace until those
nations which chose to make war
upon the rest of the world for pur-
poses of their own have been rem
dered incapable of carrying their
purposes further. We can do moth
ing save what we are doing. We
must continue the fight, the slaugh-
ter, the waste, the destruction, until
the forces Of aggression have been
destroyed, and We must pay the
awful price that this entails.
Fight to Insure Peace.
For we are fighting to achieve
peace on earth. No one can doubt
that this IS why We fight. True, we
had to fight first in defense of our
homes, but as we moved across the
seas to meet our enemies before they
could bring their war to us, we rec
ognized within ourselves a deeper
motive. We recognized our own
faith in the possibility of making
this truly the war to end wars. In
that faith we are fighting still.
We fight for peace, good will to
men. The two are inseparable, for
only in good will can permanent
peace be achieved.
The good will of America-the
American people as whole-toward
the people of the rest of the world
can hardly be doubted. We thrilled
to the words of the Atlantic Char
ter, to the Declaration of the
United Nations, to the very fact of
the gathering at Dumbarton Oaks
We want peace-everlasting peace.
We are prepared to meet the world
more than half way, to be gener-
Gus. to make sacrifices.
The American people as whole
have only good will, but there are
men of i'll will among us. There
are men with minds stepped in
doubt of all others, men who distrust
their friends and their country's
friends with a distrust that never
subsidies, men who never weary in
the work of spreading their distrust.
For they see in other men and
other nations the reflection of them
selves.
British and Russians.
What would they do under certain
circumstances? Then, in their minds,
that is what the British are doing or
proposing to do. What would their
motives be? Then, in their hearts,
those are Russia's motives. Forget
Germany, forget Japan. Concen-
trate on the conviction that all
Britons and all Russians are pos
seSsed by purposes as mean as their
own. And do not relax until enough
other Americans share this convic-
ton. Thus make sure that war with
our friends shall follow hard on the
heels of the war with our enemies.
What success can they have, these
men of i'll will? 1t is hard to know.
They have means of making them
selves heard. Some of them are
skilled in the uses of suspicion and

prejudice. They understand our
weaknesses, if not our strength.
And they are driven by devils of
their own that will not let them
rest.
But peace on earth is within our
reach and we can dare to hope that
the good will toward men, necessary
to sustain it, will be found in the
hearts of the American people.
