The desirability of establishing
Junior College III Wilmington was
the topic of the first program to
be put on by the Junior Rotarians
of Wilmington for their Senior Ro-
tartan sponsors yesterday at the
dining hall of the Friendly Cafe
terra.
Speakers introduced by program
chairman William Lassiter, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. L. l. Lassiter of 1910
Nun st., discussed What Junior
College can do for a Community"
why Wilmington Should Have a
Junior College, and How Much
Will it Cost the Taxpayer.
In speaking of the need in this
city for such an Institution, Junior
Rotarian Wilton Rankin, pointed
out that the postwar South will have
hsr biggest opportunity for industri-
al development If there is reserve
of the necessary trained and ed
ucated local labor from which to
draw.
Max Goodwin of Lake Forest
stressed the need for and desire
of returning soldiers to receive a
shortened technical higher educa-
tion. While Irving Bobbitt spoke on
the advantages of the Junior Col
| lege from an economic view show
ing that the average high school
graduate who cannot afford four
year college course or one that may
mean his living away from home,
could take advantage of the shorter
training afforded by the Junior Col
lege
Bringing the subject down to a
more local plane, Jimmy Wells OF
| Oleander demonstrated the fact
that the War Housing now located
at Lake Forest could easily be uti-
lized for college buildings, using
the present Grade School for Gloss
rooms and some of the homes for
dormitories. This he said,
would be insurance against a
! ghost-town future
In discussing whether or not Will
mington could support an institut-
ion of this kind, Jack Lawrimore
of Harbor Island pointed out that
this city is the center of large
area whic hhas shown its desire
for higher education by the number
of students it sends to out of town
colleges, and further demonstrated

cized by radio and newspapers.

Another group Of enlisted men
and officers are scheduled to be
transferred from Camp Davis to
separation centers this week for
discharge from the Army under
the point system.
Topping the list with the highest
total is Cpl. William D. L. Spain,
1877. Lieutenant Earl E. Rehrlg
heads the list of officers eligible
for discharge with lis.
Corporal Spain, who flew 165
missions as a gunner on a Pho
night fighter in the south Pacific,
plans to enter the Florida State
Highway Patrol. His home is in
Miami. His wife, the former Hazel
Fields of Pinehurst, N. c., and two
children are now awaiting his
homecoming.
Entering the Army Air Forces
in 1910, Corporal Spain spent four
years overseas. He was at Pearl
Harbor on Dec. 7. 1941, and later
took part in the invasions of Qua
dalcanal, Wake and the Solomon
islands.
Lieutenant Rehrig, woo comes
from Lehighton. Pa, is all set to
work until college opens next fall.
Then he plans to enter Penn State
university for a pre-med course.
A veteran of 81 missions in
Europe, Lieutenant Rehrig was a
bombardier navigator in B. Is
group, based in Corsica. He has
been awarded the distinguished
flying cross, the air medal with
six oak leaf clusters, two battle
stars and unit citation.
We were somewhat amazed the
other day to read in an Army

Army scared . But reading

Bv WALTER LIPPMANN

nent and the dependent areas will
by necessity, and under the influ-
ence of cole ctivism organize for
themselves new system of inter-
national separate, dis
tinct from, and conflicting with our
own-based on monopoly, barter, re-
striction, and dominated by gov
eminent management.
If Congress were to reject the
Breton Woods plan and the trade
agreements bill, it would be dec
laration to Great Britain and to all
the other commercial nations that
we were not going to try to re-
Greater a system of free enterprise
except in part Of this hemis-
phere. That is not what Congress
wants: certainly that is not what
the American Bankers Association
and the Republican party can posi-
bly, want. Yet without the interna-
tional bargaining power which
Breton Woods and the trade agree
ments measure give US, we have
no means of opposing the move
ment toward government trading.
Only by passing these measures
promptly, decisively, and with con-
viction, can we hope to begin to
turn the tide which everywhere a
broad is running towards collec-
tivism in international trading. No
one who appreciates how strong is
that tide will think that even with
these measures we can easily or
quickly arrest it. 1t will take lot
OF determination, backed by great
popular support; it will take many
other measures, and long intricate
negotiations, to reverse the trend
and convince our allies that an
economy of free enterprise is still
feasible for them.
fortunately the United States is
strong enough. to be listened to- if
we are sufficiently enlightened TO
use our economic power. Moreover
while we are not well eQuippe dsas
yet to exercise the political power
which is ours in the world today.
in the field of economic foreign re-
lations we have, thanks chiefly to
Mr.. Hull's long perseverance, ex-
ceedingly competent >men-in the
State Department, the Treasury,

istration who Understand the issues
thoroughly and are quite able to
hold their own in negotiations with

DAVIS SCHEDULES
VETERAN PROGRAM

Camp Davis is scheduled to
"ret going with q small flow
Of retuFnees about June Is,
Col. Lewis b. Cuyler, deputy
chief Of staff of the Personnel
Distribution command, said in
an article published in the cur.
rent issue of the camps news
paper.
The months of July and Aug.
ust, the story continued, win
show q gradual increase in per-
sonnet to be processed and then
the station will take its place
in the sun as both a GONZALES
cent hospital and redistribu-
ton station.
Realizing just how much ex-
listing facilities at Camp Da-
Wis can be exploited, this IN
stallation is expected to be-
come the largest in the COM
mand. It will be equipped to
handle the most returnees,
have the biggest convalescent
hospital, and carry the heav-
lest load of the redistribution
program.
Before the end Of the war
in Europe, il was realized that
with We Day, the hotel type
of installation would be entirely
inadequate to handle the flow.
Therefore. Camp Davis was
selected because of its capacity
to house and process the great
influx of returning personnel
and because of the ideal condi-
lions for a convalescent hospit-
III, it was said.
The air-forces in Europe are
70 be segregated into four
groups. One will be retained
as an occupational air force
and one vii be transferred dir
ectly to the Pacific. Of the re.
naming two, one will be re-
turned TO the states to be re-
conditioned as a vast strategic
air-force for eventual employ
ment against the Japanese, and
the other will return to this
country through regular PDC
channels.
This last group consists of
men who have seen service in
the African and European
campaigns and may be in need
Of rest and convalescence. A
few of these men, those with
the most service, may be dis
patched to the states via the
Air.lift system, but generally
their flow will be distributed
over a long period of time.
Extensive plans for the con-
valescent program at this
sta tion will be supplemented by
the proximity of excellent
beach facilities where the men
can enjoy good swimming,
fishing, boating and various
other beach activities. This to-
gether with q healthy climate
and an adequate recreation
program will do much to help
the returnees rest and recup-
crate, the article stated.
The cantOnment type install
lations such as Camp Davis
and Santa Ana will serve to
relieve the shortage of conval-
escent hospital beds through
out the command. They will
also relieve the pressure on
hotel type installations by al
lowing men In need of rest and
Tecuperation to remain In
those pleasant surroundings
for \ longer stay.

Herb Teas, or I1iisanes

The medicinal value of herba has
filled the pages of many books for
centuries and forms fascinating
reading for those who have the time
to pursue the subject. The bene-
fetal qualities attributed to these
various green things growing" are
legion, and, of course, in many in
stances completely unfounded. How
ever, a number of valuable correc-
tives are derived from herbs and
their use is recognized by every one
Perhaps one of the most prevalent
use of herbs for well-being in re-
cent years has been in the herb
teas or "tisanes," so well known and
generally used in Europe. Often a
nights sleep was considered impos-
sible unless a soothing and gentle
brew was taken before retiring. With
many of us planning to grow more
and more herbs in our Victory gar
dens this summer, we might take a
look at a few Of these "tisanes" and
try them out on our war-weary
nerves and bodies.
Herb teas should be taken without
cream or milk, of course-only sugar
and perhaps a slice of lemon are
included in their service. The herbs
most often used for tisanes include
fennel, lavender, peppermint, sage,
pennyroyal. catnip, bergamot, win
tergreen, camomile, sweet basil and
sweet marjoram. Nasturtiums, too
may be used for good tea. although
they are not strictly under the
herb" classification. In the old
days, dandelion roots were often
brewed into a tea recommended as
a "cure" for spring fever"

place of the taxed tea that led to the
Boston Tea Party. It's delightful
