Jour resources snc the military situ-
alton permitted. And I am glad to
say that We are now about to equip
large new French forces with the
most modern weapons for combat
duty.
am clear in my own mind that,
as an essential factor in the MAIN
tenance of world peace in the
future, we must have universal mill
.ary training after this war, and
shall send a special message to the
Congress on this subject.
An enduring peace cannot be
achieved without a strong America
strong in the social and economic
sense as wei, as in the military
sense.
I have already set forth what
consider to be an American economic
bill OF rights, and the most funda-
mental Of these Is the right to a
useful and remunerative job in the
industries or shops or farms or
mines of the Nation"
Jobs for 60 Million.
In turn, others of the economic
rights of American citizenship such
as the right to a decent home, to a
good education, to good medical
care. to social security, to reasonable
farm income, will, II fulfilled, make
major contributions to achieving
adequate levels OF employment.
In the message that sent to the
Congress today, I discussed the gen.
eral approach to the program that
we have in mind for the provision
of close to so million jobs.
Although we must plan now for
our postwar economy, and enact the
necessary legislation, and set up the
appropriate agencies for reconver-
sion from war to peace, and lay the
foundations for that transition pe-
riod-all of which we are now doing
1T is obviously impossible for us to
do anything which might possibly
hinder the production for war at this
time, when our men are fighting on
the frontiers Of Germany and drop
ping bombs on the war industries of
Japan.
Need Continued Friendship.
In these days our thoughts and
our hopes and our prayers are with
our sons and brothers, our loved
ones who are far from home.
We can and we will give them all
the support Of which this great Ma
ton Is capable. But-no matter
how well they may be equipped with
weapons and munitions-their mag
nificent fight will have been in vain
If this war should end in the break
Ing Of the unity of the United Ma
tions.
We need the continuing friendship
OF our Allies in this war. Indeed
that need is matter of life and
death. And we shall need that
friendship in the peace.
I quote from an editorial in the
Stars and Stripes, our soldiers own
newspaper in Europe:
Tor the holy love of God let's
listen to the dead. Let's learn from
sAAS AA'4AA6' 1St . Jol11 d11hS dSdlllSt
the foe. The bugles of battle are
heard again above the pickering" !"
That is the demand of our fight
ing men. We cannot fail to heed it.
Can Be Greatest Year.
This new year of 1945 can be the
greatest year of achievement in
human history.
1945 can see the final ending of
the Nazi-Fascist reign of terror in
Europe.
1s45 can see the closing in of the
forces of retribution about the CEN
ter of the malignant power of i'm
perialistic Japan.
Most important of all, 1945 can,
and must, see the substantial be-
ginning of the organization of
world peace-for we all know what
such an organization means in

U.S.. LIFTS MANY
CREDIT CONTROLS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-P)-
The government cleared away to-
day its financial hurdles for OBJ
tanning new coats of paint, furnace
repairs, insulation and general
house renovation.
It lifted, as of Oct. IS, all Fed
eral credit controls for such home
repair and improvements.

direction by extending from II to
10 months the time in which bor-
rowers must repay "non-purpose"

it was all right with him to boost

JAYCEES ENDORSE
CITY EXTENSION
Members Accord Unani-
nous Favorable Vote To
Boundary Plan

The Junior Chamber of Com.
merce by unanimous vote went on
record last night as endorsing
the City Limits Extension Plan
which will be voted on at the Nov
ember 9th election by the voters of
Wilmington.
Lending support to the Citizens
Committee for City Extension, the
Jaycees under the leadership of
Bob Howard plan to use all facili-
ties of the organization in urging
members and voters to register at
the polls October -, 20 and q and
to return to the polls on election
day and cast vote to extent the
city limits of Wilmington.
If the plan is approved by the
voters, the outlying areas Of Sun
set Park, Forest Hills, Brookwood,
Glen Arden, Summer Hill and
Woodlawn will be included in the
city limits.
At the conclusion of the business
meeting the Jaycees heard a talk
by DR.. Frederick Lewis, pastor
of St.. ADVERTISEMENTS church
on the subject; Famous Men
Whom I have Met"
DR.. Lewis opened his talk by tell
ing of his friendship with William
Allen White who before his death
became famous as the editor of the
Emporia Kansas) Gazette. He
called Mr.. White truly great
good and progressive man. of the
country, who wrote human in r.
est stories, that won him national
recognition.
Woodrow Wilson was the second
famous personality whom DR..
Lewis discussed, telling how the
late President had attended Dav-
idson College while living in Will
mington and finally going to Prince
ceton and joining the teaching
staff, Two points were brought out
in his talk "Wilson was misunder-
stood by the general public because
they thought him aloof but in real
lty he was very human and cordial
and while an instructor at Prince
ton ne was voted by several senior
classes as the most popular pro-
lessor. This misunderstanding, the
speaker said was the result of Will
sons lack of seeing that those in
disagreement with him did not
disagree because of personal rea'
sons. Secondly DR.. Lewis told how
Wilson succeeded in getting more
must legislation through Con-
greSs in his first term than any
previous President. This was main
ly due to intensive study that Will
son had made~of Congressional pro-
cedure and it's history during his
study of the law.
Concluding DR.. Lewis told OF his
meeting with the popular author,
Mark Twain. Although Twain had
not gone to college he always de-
sired an education so that he could

FLOODS RECEDINC
ALL OVER STATE

RALEIGH, Sept. 25.-P)-Flood
waters were slowly receding at
most points in the upper reaches
of four major eastern North Caro-
lima rivers today, leaving in their
wake damages to crops and high
ways expected to run into millions
of dollars.
The U. S. Weather Station here
said tonight that flood c-ests had
been reached at all points along
the Cape Fear west of Elizabeth
town, and along the Neuse west
OF Kinston. The Roanoke river
was expected to reach its peak
of overflow at Williamson some
time tomorrow.
Torrential rains of the last few
weeks sent the four rivers out OF
their banks for an entire week,
causing what experts term the
most disastrous flood in the states
history. Thousands of acres OF
crop lands, much of which was
planted in corn and hay crops,
were inundated and highway and
bridge structures were covered
for days.
Chairman A. H. SANDY Ora.
ham of the State Highway Com
mission said, late today that a
"preliminary'@ report of $170, odO,
mostly to bridges, had been re-
ceived from the Seventh Division.
Graham said this was an lex
tremely conservative estimate"
and that it did not take into ac-
count actual damages to highway
and road beds and to repair work
which may result later to highway
structures inundated in that di-
vision.
