A SOLDIER TABLET
To the Editor:

-
1 was deeply moved by the ac-
count Of the heroic death in battle
of Ensign Carl Peiffer Of this
County.
It occurs to me that we, who
by reason of age or other informi-
ty can only serve by waiting watch
ing and, indeed, praying should do
something more than be moved
by these articles.
l humbly suggest that this Coun-
ty should, with County funds and
voluntary contributions from i t S
citizenship, on a proportionate ba-
sis to be determined by Commit
tee appointed by the County Com
missioners, place bronze tablet
at some conspicuous place in the
Court House and have bronze
name plates made that could be
screwed into the bronze tablet as
the occasion required, and on these
plates place the name of every
man who has given his life that
America, its people and traditions
might survive. I know that at the
last Memorial Day exercises of the
American Legion approximately
thirty New Hanover County men
had already given their lives. I
fear the number is much greater
now and will increase.
As a past State Commander of
the American Legion I respectfully
suggest that the American Legion
be the limitation of this movement
and that in an appropriate place
and manner it should be indicated
somewhere on the bronze plaque
that the American Legion has
caused this memorial to be estab-
lished.
1t would seem to me that some
such caption as this might ap-
propriately be put at the head of
those who have made the supreme
sacrifice:
''In Sacred and Grateful Dedica-
ton to those men and women of
New Hanover County whose coura-
geous death in the armed forces
of the United States has proved
that they loved America, the de-
tense of its people and its tradi-
tons more than life"
Following this, of course, would
be the names of those who have
died in defense of this Country, to
be added to by the placing of adj
ditional name plates as the casu-
atty lists come in.

Ihere is just opposition to- government

OF Dr. Edward Cary, former president Of the
American Medical Association who declares
mat: This country has been drifting away
from competitive enterprise, without which the
present high standards Of American medicine
could never have been reached. Specialization
