Useful Monuments

Governor Cherry took time out from his
heavy executive duties yesterday to deliver an
address at exercises ut Pine Tops in honor Of
that commrnitys men in military service. He
uttered a message to all North Carolina, not
merely to the small audience within range Of
his voice. It concerned the type Of memorials
to this wars heroes that can best tit the
need and do greater honor to the men who
laid down their lives that this nation might
continue in the enjoyment Of peace and indie
pendence.
''The trend following this war. ME said," is
for memorials that will be useful, living, pro-
ductive monuments to those who fought war
and won victory He noted that most court
house squares in this state contain Confed-
crate monument, and that since World War I
many communities have memorialized the sol
diers Of that war Sin stately metal or poetic
marble They give beauty and dignity to our
state, he added; they have their place and
serve their purpose.
But how much wiser are we, as this World
War II, already successful on the European
side, seems drawing to a complete victory on
the Pacific side" he continued. memorials to
the sacrifices and the services Of this war,
many Of them already in the making, are TAX
ing the shape Of recreation centers, municipal
auditoriums, community hospitals and sundry
useful and needed institutions and services. In
this trend, l think, the communities making up
our state are wise and commend them. Let
make monuments sonnthing that we can use
this time. Let's make them serve as well as
beautify.'
Wilmington can fall in line not with one but
two monuments that will serve and beautify
the community and enrich the people. One
such monument was suggest at the last City
Council meeting when City Attorney William
B. Campbell suggested the proposed auditori-
um to be erected on the old Marine hospital
site be dedicated to Wilnaington's soldiers in
this war.
The other, which would increase in value
and service from year to year, would be a
junior college, for which so many forward
looking citizens have worked so long, and
which will be within reach when the Board of
County Commissioners reconsiders its recent
refusal to call an election, and puts its Shout
der to the wheel to bring the project to full
hllment

Day OF Prayer

President Truman has designated tomorrow
as day OF prayer. His proclamation calls
for thanksgiving for the victory in Europe and
divine guidance and support in the struggle
for victory in the Far East. II call upon the
people of the United States, whatever their
faith, to unite in offering joyful thanks to God
for the victory we have won to pray that He
will support us to the end of our present
struggle and guide us into the way of peace. "
And he adds: II also call upon my country
men to dedicate this day Of prayer to the
memory Of those who have given their lives
to make possible our victory
Throughout the land worshipers at all
churches will obey the Presidents call with
all their souls. And the other thousands OF
Americans who cannot attend church services
will be no less prayerful, no less grateful to
Almighty God for the victory that crowned
or battle in Europe, no less earnest in sup.
plication for His continued favor in the battle
ahead. For prayer, in the final analysis, is a
state Of mind, its efficacy as great without The
spoken word as with it.

Lee Miller Covers The Pacific

Back on ship we were the Ad-
mirals dinner guests-steak and
ice cream again. Then a movie on
deck. Pretty soft.
But the next morning we would
be off, with business in mind.
Our task force had been under
way only briefly when target prac-
tice for the anti-aircraft guns was
announced. 7sT. - -.

glide runs. Then it was our turn.
/ was on the open bridge. A sea-
man had distributed cotton for ear
plugs. Anti-aircraft guns ranging
up to five inches were only a few
feet away from where I stood, as
well as practically everywhere else
on this crowded cruiser.
I had heard plenty of army artil-
lery from close up, including guns
bigger than these, but I found my
self a little nervous as first the
plane and then the target came
into view.
AL of a sudden hell broke loose.
The first five-incher to 60 off made
me cringe little, I'm afraid. And
within split second all the other
five-inchers on our starboard side.

Stay At Home

Cessation of hostilities in Europe should not
be accepted as a signal for vacation travel
this spring or summer. J. Monroe Johnson,
director of the Office of Defense Transporter
ton, has issued an announcement which warns
that the next year will be the most critical
period in transportation history He adds
that trains and buses have no space for un-
essential travel, and forecasts there will be
no resort trains or buses for vacation trips or
that Cancelled passenger train schedules will
be restored.
With the war in the Pacific destined to reach
new and unprecedented heights until victory
over the japanese is won. the nations trans
portation facilities will be taxed to the utmost.
One railroad system is reported to be screen

are expected to adopt the same program.
The public is expected to consider the enner-
gency and either stay at home during the va
cation period or restrict travel to the lirnita-
tons Of gasoline ratoning and the rapidly dis
appearing capability of the family car to re-
spond to foot on the accelerator.

The noise was overwhelming. II

watching the flax bursts. For some
reason, they said the five-inchers

The plane circled, reeled out an

WASHINGTON CALLING
by
MARQUIS CH1LDs

WASHINGTON.-It is obvious by
now that the talk of trusteeships
for colonial or inundated territories
means little or nothing. It is the
kind of talk that is invariably used
to cloak a determination to Sit
tight and preserve the old order.
Apparently, the big powers that
have fought this war against Fas.
cism mean to try to put back the
old colonial order. They may use
somewhat more fancy language tc
give it a less old-fashioned, out.
NODDED look. But it will be, essen.
TALLY, colonial exploitation in the
pattern of the past.
That is a betrayal. 1t is a be.
trayal of the ideals of the Atlantic
Charter and it is a betrayal of one
of the great hopes of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who, more than any 9th.

yearning of millions everywhere
for a better world.
This is perfectly clear now. We

of history to make it any more oh.

conversation I had with the late
President a year ago. In which he
talked at some length of his ideal
of a trusteeship that would enable
colonial peoples to move toward
political and economic independ.

years.
The President began by talking
about the position of the white mar
in the far Pacific. The white man
he pointed out, had come more
and more into disfavor. The quick
successes of the Japs had shaker
white prestige that was already
damaged.
