Let's Clean Up

Wilmington streets, and particularly the side
walks, are not as clean as they should be or
could be kept even in wartime and with the
manpower shortage
1t is true that an inadequate staff OF work.
ers has placed the street department under
handicap. The small crew and, it the truth
must be told, the inadequate appropriation for
which is blamed upon the war, but because
of public indifference traces far back OF Pearl
Harbor.
Part of the fault lies at the doors Of in
different persons, householders, autoists and
pedestrians alike. People afoot scatter paper,
empty cigarette packages and other things in.
Guiding sandwich wrappers and orange peel
on sidewalks without a qualm of conscience.
Autoists, not many, but some, park at curb.
SIDE, peel apples, oranges and any fruit in
the market at the time. eat sandwiches, drink
soft stuff, and when finished drop the refuse.
including bottles, in the gutter. Households
again it is but few, do not have their side.
walks swept regularly, with result that leaves
and other litter disfigure the approaches te
their homes. The servant problem probably
figures in this just as the manpower shortage
figures in the street departments problem, but
it does not exonerate offending householders
With its general scenic beauty, Wilmington
deserves better Of its residents and visitors
It ought to be realized that streets and side
walks are the equivalent of show windows il
the better the impression upon everybody whit
sees them.

Register And Vote


New Hanover county registration books will
be open again on Saturday for listing new
residents.
Residents whose names now appear on the
registers are not required to reregister.
But all persons otherwise eligible to vote
must have their names entered on the books
next Saturday. Otherwise they will be denied
the right to exercise their franchise on No
venber z.
It is purely optional with the individual to
vote or not to vote. There is no law requir-
ing anyone to register or visit the polls upon
election day.
But the right to vote without being ques-
toned upon ones favorite candidate is among
the highest privileges enjoyed by American
citizens.
Failure to exercise that right is among the
most deplorable offenses in democracy.
Let every person in this county who has
not previously registered, therefore, visit the
registration places next Saturday and enroll;
aid then let every registered voter go to the
polls on November and cast a ballot In
different and negligent persons who stay away
will have failed their country in one Of its
greatest political emergencies.

Will Durant is now three-fifths
of the way through 1.-THE Story of
Civilization. He is publishing this
week the third of the five volumes
he expects to write, and he calls
it Caesar and Christ" In 1885
the first book, "Our Oriental Her.

years later, 1.-The Life Of Greece"
For the record, DR.. Durant ex-
poets to finish the next part, which
he will call 1.-The Age of Faith, :"
in time to publish it in 1850, and
the last volume is scheduled for
1855. 1t is just as well that every
thing is planned out in this way,
particularly if the paper shortage
continues. DR.. Durant's books are
enormous.
Caesar and Christ" is historic
cal synthesis Of the period begin
ming with the Etruscan domination
of northern Italy and ending with
the death of the Emperor Constan-
tine in 1877. It is thus the whole
story of the Roman Empire and
Christianity up to that date, plus
an epilogue in which DR.. Durant
discusses the fall of Rome, remark
ing incidentally that Rome fell for
three centuries, which is good
deal longer than many a nation
has existed altogether.
This is a characteristic attitude.
I think Dr. Durant is more anxious
to give his readers the sense of
historical flow than he is to pro-
vide minor detail, such as that

LETTER BOX
OUR CITY HALL

To the Editor:
1t all but breathes a benediction
for one to stand at the southwest
corner of Third and Princess
streets and get a good view of
the City Hall in its clear, wide
setting. 1t moves the artistic sense
that exists to some degree in all
of I'm. The handsome structure is
an ornament to Wilmington which
might well be coveted by any other
city.
The view of the City hall has
space and fitness. In it there is
the beauty of type OF architec-
ture which is almost forgotten in
these modern days. The proportions
OF the building are satisfying, and
the massive Corinthian columns
are imposing. The picture, there
fore, is wholesome, as we draw
on the resources and labors of the
past. The light gray coloring was
happily chosen. 1t is like the gath.
cred mist of an autumn morning
and therefore adds to the beauty
Of the structure.
We should all admire our CITY
hall, and feel grateful to the men
Of 1855 who prepared for us this
memorial of their taste and fine
interest in their old town. It is
stricking and gentle in its appeal
to US. "A thing of beauty is a
joy forever

Battle OF The Philippines

Even with the boxscore of japanese losses
in the three pronged naval Battle Of the Phil
ippines still to be chalked up, two facts are
clearly indicated: L. The Japanese fleet has
suffered a major defeat, and 2, the victory
of American and Australian sea and air power
has unquestionably brought the end Of the
war in the Orient materially nearer.
AS in all naval engagements thus far in
the Pacific the japanese came to battle with
superior forces. The fault was not with their
fire power of armored strength. Primarily, it
lay in the decision to travel dangerous waters
and divide. But even then the outcome might
have been different if the Allied fleet leaders
lacked ability to outwit and Outright them.
The Japanese had good idea-to send a
powerful naval force within bombardment
range of the American ground forces on Leyte
and wipe them out before they could reach
their ultimate goal. If they had succeeded in
this, General MacArthur's crusade in the Phil
ippines would possibly have been broken up
and certainly delayed.
But the Japanese left out Of their reckoning
the hazards they must encounter in narrow,
land-locked waters, or relied on their ability
to reach their targets before they were dis
covered. They failed to analyze their idea
in all its ramifications.
AS a result they are today licking their
wounds in what is confidently called by men
best fitted to sum up the situation, the virtual
destruction of their home fleet. With twenty
six warships sunk or heavily damaged (the
ten) Japan cannot hope to use its fleet as
serious obstacle on the road to Tokyo which
the American feet and Macarthur have thus
far Travelled SO successfully.
This brings us to the second fact that stands
out so plainly in the dispatches released from
Pearl Harbor and MacArthurs headquarters.
The victory in the Philippines inevitably will
shorten the Pacific war. Inevitably it leaves
campaign in the Philippines and for the Navy
to continue its advance toward the China coast
for the establishment of bases from which the
attack on Japan proper may be best con-
Quoted.
Inevitably, too, it means that Japan will
have no means of supplying its remaining
outposts in the southwest Pacific or of bring
ing in reinforcements, equipment and supplies
for ifs forces in Tho phi1ipproc
Already competent commentators and mill
tary authorities are describing this battle as
the greatest Of naval engagements, in the fire
power involved. It would not be far afield
to consider it the definite turning point in
the Pacific war.
The Wilmington morning star., 1944-10-27
Politics AS Usual

The surprising thing about this wartime
presidential campaign is not that it is taking
place at all (though even that seemed to sur
pr1se and impress some of our Allies and
neighbors at first) but that it is so little diff
ferent from all the others
Every voter must have thought that some
how it would be different this year. Grave
tasks lay ahead, serious issues were involved,
many lives were already lost in this war and
many more were at stake. Surely these things
would lend the campaign the dignity that it
demanded. But they didn't, and probably be-
cause nc one, not even the professional poll
ticians realized quite how strongly the ira
ditional manner of electioneering has fastened
itself upon us.
So we succumbed to mass political hypno-
tism, as is our quadrennial custom. There
was some gravity and decorum at the BEGIN
ming. But the candidates were simply starting
up in low gear and the whole country seemed
to feel more natural when they shifted into
high. The usual wave Of emotionalisrn. exag
geration and equivocation swept through both
parties, and engulfed them
Now we are once again in the homestretch
and once again officeseekers and their con-
federates are expanding breath, time and
money on speeches designed to provide am
munition for voters who have already made
UP their minds, to use against people of o..
posite political beliefs, who have already made
Ny theirs.
These speakers, more often than not. are
