PORT TERMINAL
MEETING HELD

A committee to plan "the quick
at. most economical most eff
dent way" to secure terminals
for the Port of Wilmington was
named at a meeting Of the city
council, the Board Of County
Commissioners and the Port COM
mission, held at the City hall yes
terday morning.
Comprising the group will be
Mayor w. Ronald Lane, City
Manager A. C. Nichols, City At
torney William B. Campbell, Coun-
~ Board Chairman Addison Hew-
lett ST., Commissioner Harry R.
Gardner, and County Attorney
Marsden Bellamy, who will work
In conjunction with the port author
.Nes. ]. T. HERS is the executive
agent of the commission, and Cyrus
D. Hogue tn legal counsel.
In line with the thinking express
I'd at the combined meeting, 1t is
possible that the committee will
not recommend prosecution of an
application for a Reconstruction
Finance Corporation loan of $685.
900 for terminal development, the
first idea in the interest of securing
the facilities projected by the Port
commission.
Instead, mention was made by
various participants Of local bond
issue, and of a possible ALLEGATION
from the State legislature which
convenes in January.
It was pointed out that Governor
J. Melville Broughton, outgoing
chief executive, has expressed the
confidence that the state b o d y
would lend financial assistance to
a project which would be a great
asset to the State of North Caro-
ina. It is known that the state
has a substantial surplus likely to
be used for worthy postwar deve-
lopments.
Cyrus D. Hogue summed up the
needs of the Port Of Wilmington
succinctly: terminals, cargo, ships.
we cannot secure the aid we
hope for unless the city and county
governments evidence their faith in
Wilmington as port" he aver
red.
''Wilnington's future revolv-
ed around the Cape Fear river"
he assured his hearers.
1--WE must have something de-
finite in mind, however, before we
go before the State Postwar Plan
ming board, or the RFC," he de-
coared.
Mr.. HERS pointed out that up
state manufacturers already have
promised the port 10000 tons Of
freight a year, provided the ter
minals are built and ships attract
ed here.
It was City Council Edgar L.
Vow who contributed the thought
that bond issuance would be cheap
er than interest on an RFC loan.
Whereupon, others added assent,
and Mr.. Hogue observed that such
might not be bad line to pursue.
With reference to help from the
legislature, Mr.. Hewlett comment
ed that Raleigh is beginning to
realize the necessity for a state

CHAPTER III

Mrs. Winkle, upon learning that
her husband planned to open gen.
eral repair shop practically in their
living room, decried it bitterly. She
felt that being the wife of what she
termed handy man lowered her
social standing. She declared she
would have nothing whatsoever to
do with the enterprise and would
rather starve than to SO much as
glance at it. She took this decided
stand despite the fact that she had
a modest income from a small estate
left by her parents and that on this
account she and Mr.. Wrinkle could
have managed, though their stand
ard of living would have been sharp
ly curtailed.
AT that time Mr.. Wrinkle still wore
one leg of the trousers in his house,
so he proceeded on the basis that it
was more respectable for him to
provide, and more reasonable to
eat well, than to have a social stand
ing. He took his wife at her word
and built his shop across the rear
of their property without an en-
trance or even a window on the
house side. Mrs. Winkle had never
visited him, even when she found it
more comfortable not to starve. And
from then on she developed into
what he preferred to think Of her
instead of by any other word; a
termagant.
Each morning Mr.. Wrinkle
marched out the front door quite
as if he were going downtown to
business. He walked up the block,
around the corner, and then to the

rather ghastly, and set and stiff, but
to anyone who didn't know him very
well it might have been taken for
happiness. Most of all, above this
exhibit, there was sizable black
headline which said:
WINKLE PROUD TO FIGHT
Mr.. Wrinkle felt not only conspicu-
Gus, but misrepresented. He was
glad to learn that Mrs. Wrinkle had
made no comment, and in passing
noted what phenomenon this was.
He was happy to see that Mr.. On
ward had kept his promise of not
mentioning his method of carrying
on his work, but he was astonished
to read what he had written.
I'm proud to fight for my coun-
try Wilbert Winkle, a, of I'll Ma
pie Avenue, first married selectee in
the 36 to As draft age group to be
called in Springville, declared today.
Wrinkle, who operates The Fixit
Shop, went on to say that he is
anxious to defend the four freedoms,
which he regards as the privilege
of every American today. This, he
stated, is worth any sacrifice, If
need be, my very life.
Mr.. Wrinkle was keenly interested
in learning If Any's change of atti-
tude had persisted from morning
until night, or was simply the tenn
porary result of the first upsetting
event of the day.
Upon reaching home, he saw at
once that its effect still had its hold
on her. At least she was in some
thing of a dither, condition she
had rarely entered ever since he had
become a repair man instead of a
respectable accountant.

THE FIXIT SHOP
We Repair Anything

Mr.. Wrinkle had worried a little
about the wording of this. Making
his promise in the plural was more
impressive, as if there existed a
large staff of workers. The fact
that there was no one except him.
self was perhaps deceptive. But he
felt all right about it when he con-
sidered that he and the shop itself
could be counted as two.
He lived up to the boast on his
sign. He was adept at finding out
what the trouble was with any me-
chanical gadget and, what is more,
at putting it right. People from all
over his section of town, and many
from farther away, brought him
their difficulties or called him in. He
accepted-with one ception-any
work that came along.
The only thing with which he
would have nothing to do was fire.
arms.
He didn't like or trust guns in the
least. 1t was also his conviction that
they caused much more trouble in
the world than any worth they had,
and that when a man had a gun in
his hand he felt beyond himself and
proceeded on a false basis of power.
If a customer had a rifle or a shot
gun or revolver needing repair, he
had to take it elsewhere.
This morning, as Mr.. Winkle
walked a little over a block along
his circuitous route to get the fifty
feet away from where he started,
he was thoughtful man.
He opened his shop methodically,
throwing wide the doors and letting
in the sun. Usually, every morning
he looked at his place of work with
pride while he changed his clothes,
peeling all the way down before
donning his working outfit. He ad-
mired his own neatness, the spick-
and-span concrete floor, the shining
lathes and other power tools, the
clean benches with every screw
driver in its nroner place. and the

with some amusement. He seemed
to think it a little funny that he
was being drafted. When Mr.. Win
kle protested that his activity was
somewhat premature, and that he
might not be accepted by the Army.
Mr.. Onward grinned and began or
dering him to stand at different
places about the shop. He proceed
ed to take series Of fashlight pic
lures, meanwhile asking questions in
an Indifferent, offhand manner.
How do you feel about being a
soldier?"
Mr.. Winkle blinked as flash went
off in his face. "Why," he stam-
mered, II guess | feel all right. y
do you regard 1t as a privilege
to be the first OF your classification
to be called on to defend the four
freedoms?"
"Privilege?" Mr.. Wrinkle repeated.
The fiashlight had blinded him mo-
mentarily and made him slightly
dizzy. He could think only that he
must be agreeable. Il expect I
must"
Listen" the reportographer
urged, 'how about smile on this
one?"
Mr.. Winkle spread his lips and ex-
posed his teeth. He looked straight
at the camera, holding his head
little high as previously instructed
so that his glasses wouldn't reflect
the light.
"Do you think any sacrifice is
worth making to defend your coun-
try?"
Another flash went off.
Mr.. Winkle blinked and coughed
unhappily. "Of course" he said.
"Yes. Certainly"
Mr.. Onward gazed at him and
then shrugged his shoulders, as II
telling himself that nothing more
could be done with this quizzical
subject.
Quite suddenly he went away.
Mr.. Winkle worked on bicycle,
then on the motor of washing ma
chine. He ate his lunch, listened to
the radio, and attacked the motor
again. All the while he felt queasy
about the visit of Mr.. Onward, the
reportographer, but at the same
time wondered what he had concoct-
ed.
He learned sooner than he expect
ed. Early In the afternoon he heard
the newsboy calling his wares from
afar and then down at the end Of
the alley. Evidently the paper was
cashing in on the hot news in Mr..
Wrinkles vicinity.
The boy appeared in the entrance
of the shop, announcing excitedly,
"Your pictures in the paper, Mr..
Winklel Right on the front pagel"
Mr.. Wrinkle could not overcome his
resolve to wait until he went home
to see in the delivered paper there
just what the Evening Standard had
to say about him. And after all, it
wasn't every day that you got your
picture in the newspaper, especially
on the front page.
He purchased a copy and, after
the boy left, he looked at 1t. It
wasn't as big as what the Russians
were doing in Russia, or what the
United Nations were doing around
the Mediterranean, or what the u. S.
Navy was doing in the South Pa
cific, but it was the next most i'm
portant thing to those large events.
There was picture of Mrs VIM
kle standing outside their house, just
as he had seen her last that morning,
with Penelope at her feet. There
was a picture of himself, the one
where he smiled. The smile looked

alley. Along this he went to his
shop, where he worked until dinner
time, and then retraced his steps.
The alley in which he had his
shop was not a depressing thorough
fare, but quite an attractive one.
1t was a dirt lane lined with trees
and a number of private garages.
Mr.. Wrinkles shop was no eyesore,
but a substantial frame building
painted a CHEEKY blue, with wide
double doors to permit the entrance
of automobiles needing his attention,
and tall windows. Above the doors
was a sign announcing:
