today probably is bringing
more happiness 10 married serv-
icemen than any other single
item from home.
The photographer was Clay
ton Knipper, and the idea was to
send pictures of their sons and
daughters TO fathers whose chill
dren were born after they had
Joined the armed forces. Manag-
ing editor Norman Shaw was
enthusiastic about the idea.
For some reason, however,
the pictures failed to reach the
fathers through the ordinary
mails. 1t was then that Fred w.
Alexander, engraving room su-
perintendent, came 10 the res
cue. He suggested that the baby
pictures be printed directly on
V-mail stationery.
1t worked. Since then the
"Press" alone has provided near
ly 500 V-mail pictures, and the
idea has spread to scores of
OF h er newspapers throughout
the country.
The first serviceman to re-
ceive his baby's picture by W
mail from the "Press" was Sgt.
Alfred G.. Rechnagle, who wrote
back 10 his wife: Il carry the
picture around with me wher-
ever l go, and I've shown it to

Greenland to the South Pacific,
from Italy to China, from
Panama to Alaska, from Eng

One soldier from the Middle
East wrote: After / saw the
picture | knew what have been
waiting and waiting TO know for

we'll and strong
From the Solomons: Gosh,
darling, the picture did me more
good than million letters. I'll
always carry it with me; II will
never leave me-"
From Iran: No words can
express the great enjoyment my
wife and sons picture brought
me. Thank you for your inter-

Some servicemen are given
precedence over others in ex-
IRENE cases, such as the wound
ed soldier who was lying IN a
hospital far from home. His
baby's picture was rushed. so
that it might speed his recov-
cry.
Once another tragic develop

rapher to hurry the job. A SOL

of the sight of his child.
Last summer, the Post Office
in Washington ordered stop to

the newspapers w n / C h had
adopted the idea-With the ex-

however, continued mailing the
pictures overseas.
Fl ally, the Post Office
threatened to stop the pictures
from leaving the country. Then
editor Shaw got on the long-dis-
stance telephone. He vigorously
protested the ban to government
officials. Later, he went to
Washington and convinced the
War Department to revise the
post a regulations concerning
mail to servicemen.

The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1944-05-02
A Needed Auto Improvement

There has been much discussion and many
automobiles when their manufacture Is re-
sumed after the war. With many new CAD
gets announced the driver of the future will
have little to do beyong steering the car. But
there is one greatly needed change in con-
struction which has had no consideration, so
far as the public has learned-a change which
directly affects safety.
It is. perhaps a step backward from the
streamlined models which W r. e introduced
shortly before the war was started. All Of the
later models have sloping windshields a n d
rear glass. The saving in wind pressure is
considerable. But the angled glass at front
and back picks up sun rays and blinds ap-
preaching drivers as no headlight however
brilliant, could do.
Many fatal accidents have happened on the
countrys highways because a motorist was
ing glass in an automobile coming toward him.
This menace did not exist when front and
back glass was perpendicular, except when
the sun was near the horizon, and then in
lesser degree.
II manufacturers are not willing to take a
backward step in design, they might remove
this hazard by using green or blue tinted
glass, which would not obscure the driver S
vision and certainly would save other drivers
rom being blinded as at present.

Our Chief Aim
Don't Fail To Register

Primary elections to be held on May q
can reflect the will of the people only if the
people vote in them. And the people can vote
only if they are properly registered on the
poll lists
An appeal is issued by H. G. Carney, chair
man of the election board, to all new resi-
dents who have established legal residence
here, and all persons who have changed their
place of residence since the last election, to
appear when registration books are reopened
this week and have their names placed there
on. By this means only may they participate
in the primary.
Mr. Carney's plea has the hearty backing
of this newspaper. We are deeply interested
in Wilmingtons future development as it is
to be influenced by stewards chosen by the
lections will be made by a vast majority OF
the persons entitled to vote, not by any mi
nority group however powerful. 1t is only in
this manner that Wilmington can progress in
the way the bulk of its population desires.
We have been remiss in political duty
in recent years. Election after election ihas
been held with only small percentage OF
eligible voters casting ballots. It is time that
we reversed the picture 1t is time that every
person entitled to vote place his or her name
on the register and then goes to the polls.
Let May 81 be notable day in Whining
toms history because of the heavy vote cast
in every precinct.
