en- affection for each other. I know
frank Roosevelt felt that way.
Cropping back for memories of
Mr.. Roosevelt at the Navy De-
partment through the time-fogged
years find them indistinct except
for the flowing warmth of his
sunny friendly disposition.
At the Navy Department he was
charged with the vexing task OF
keeping Navy Yard wage scales
adjusted to those of each yard S
region.
l think it likely that job had
more than little to do with shap.
ing his ideas on governmental lab
Or policies. He was very sensitive
to the political power labor repre-
sented, but he was no less sensi
tive to the lot of labor, of under
dogs everywhere. We all knew
that in our earliest contacts with
him.
All of us also noted quickly
something else about the man. We
soon observed that when his chief
Navy Secretary Josephus Daniels
was away and Roosevelt was &C
ting secretary, things were likely
to happen.
He was ready always to make
quick policy decisions, and ready
unhesitatingly to accept full re
sponsibility. He believed, think
in the business worlds axiom tina
decision made promptly is bet
ter, even if proved wrong, than {
sounder action reached in delay
and uncertainty.
To me, at least, there is signifi
canoe in that Roosevelt trait. Many
years later in those hectic, heart
ening first hundred days of hi!
first administration, presidential
policy decisions flowed from thu
White House in a ceaseless flood
Navy Bureau chiefs of that old

Roosevelt was at the helm.

l rushed back to the communica-
tons room. Watch in hand, the Of
tlcer dropped that message before
the landwise operator. Off it went
and in minutes, almost seconds,
back came the message from the
NCs skipper. We shot it to the big
transatlantic radio circuits, ask
ing for prompt acknowledgements
from France and England and also
from any intercepting naval radio
station anywhere.
In minutes they came in from
across the Atlantic. l do not recall
the exact time of the whole trans.
action, although l wrote feature
piece for the AP about it then. But
it was startlingly short-maybe
five or six minutes all told. While
we were wondering over the speed
of modern communication, replies
came in from Mare Island on the
West Coast, from Pearl Harbor ir
Hawaii, even from the far away
Philippines.
These incidents are of no signifi-
canoe except as they bear on the
cooperative spirit and speed ir

Crowds Turned Away
From High School Show

The largest crowd ever to be
turned away from New Hanover
high school was seen milling
around in the lobby Friday eve
ming begging to be allowed to
squeeze into the overcrowded aud
itorium for the second performance
of the Glee clubs oparetta,
Naughty Marietta by Victor
Herbert.
Fridays Star and News carried
reviews of the matinee perform.
ance, buc mention should be made
here Of the usual crowd Friday
evening. News had been spread by
those who attended the matinee
on Thursday that the production
was excellent, the singing, acting,
staging, and costuming all being
far above, the average for a high
school offering.
Miss Sarah Robinson is to be
especially congratulated on her ex-
pert direction as this was her maid
en- effort and she worked under
difficulties, not the least of which
was the fact that so many Glee
club members had gone into the
armed forces.
The center of attraction in most
OF the scenes was the beautiful
leading lady, Sara Anne Eaton,
whose talent as singer was equal
led by her ability as an actress.
She had to answer several cur
tain calls and finally left the stage
with her arms filled with flowers.
While Hiss Eaton was being
showered with bouquets, Calvin
Billiard, her leading man, was
handed something more acceptable
to boy-a crate of Pepsi Colas.
Already invitations have been re-
ceived for repeat performances and
the singers are hoping that at least
four of these can be accepted ex-
pecially those from near by camps.

Keep Buying Bonds,
Drive Not Yet Over

Washington, d. C.-Don't stop buy
ing Victory Bonds yet. The drive for
the sale of Series "E" bonds will not
end until Dec. 81, the Treasury De-
partment announced. In release to
the Labor Press, the department said:
Thousands of wage-earners buy
their bonds by allotments made every
payday over the full two-months ac-
counting period. In all it's drive
operations the Treasury "keeps its
score" by counting only completed
purchases which have finally cleared
through Federal Reserve Banks. This
is the reason why the drive period for
"E" bond sales is always longer than
for other types of government bonds.
1--WE therefore need your sustained
support for the Victory Loan through
December 81"
