MULTIPLICATION
BUREAU APPROVED

Findings of an investigation com
mittee comprised of W. Ronald
Lane, mayor, and Marston Bel
lamy, county attorney, which has
been looking into the work OF the
New Hanover county Bureau oil
Identification, were aired at a
meeting of city council and county
commissioner yesterday.
Harry E. Fales, superintendent
of the bureau, was authorized to
continue his extra services and
the bureau was complimented for
it's work in the past. The council
and commission voted to have
Fales placed under bond, prac'
tice required Of other public Of
ficials who do work entailing like
responsibility. The bond was sci
at $4,000.
Members of both groups agreed
that the Bureau was doing an es'
sential service in supplying photo
graphs, fingerprint cards and pho
tostatic copies of documents to the
general public and veterans sne
that fees charged we're reasonable
Although the committee reported
that the Bureau was understaffed
in that Fales needed qualified
technical assistant plus additional
clerical help to handle the ever
increasing demand for services
the council and commission de
cided to hold in allegiance the pro
viding of extra help until after
Jan. l.
Although the council and com
mission voted to have the extra
services continued, it was with the
understanding that the work be
abolished should any private con
Germ in the county offer similar
services for private concerns.

A Wilmington girl, Miss Atha
Josey, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edwin B. Josey, of Alb Orange
street, will be a member Of a
troupe Of entertainers scheduled to
be flown from New York Sunday
to the Cherry Point Marine Corps
Air Station to put on review for
personnel at the base.
Miss Josey, an instructress at the
Arthur Murray School of Dancing
in New York, will be accompanied
by three other of the Murray teach.
ers and a number of celebrities
who will put on show in the Base
drill hall, which has a capacity Of
I, 900 persons. Quite a story lies be-
hind the presentation of the series
of shows.
Approximately once each month,
private individuals, not connected
with the USO or with the govern
ment, in New York city, organize
a troupe of star entertainers to put
on a revue for the Cherry Point
base. No payment for the show is
asked by the performers and the
only expense to the Marine Corps is
flying them down to the base on
Sunday, their only day off and feed
ing the troupe while at the Point
over night.
Origin of the custom, which be-
gan about year-anda half ago,
is not certain, according to Captain
R. c. Boyd, special service Off
Ger, but he relates the most gen.
orally accepted story which has
an O'Henry twist.
1t seems, according to the cap
tain, that two Marines, who train
ed at the base, made pact while
overseas that whoever came back,
if one was killed, would see to 1t
that a show was given for Cherry
Point as soon as he got back to
the States.
One died, and his buddy, true
to his promise, went to the father
of his slain companion, a prominent
New York publisher, and as re-
suit the shows were organized and
have continued since.
Capt. Boyd said that the enter
tainers arrive at the base without

FUND FOR CENSUS

After an announcement by j. r.
Benson, city clerk, that $7,283 OF
a $40, 900 emergency fund has al
ready been spent, city council took
no action on a proposal that funds
for a census Of the City OF Will
mington be taken from that fund.
The clerk gave an itimized ac-
count of expenditures which have
been made and those expected to
be? made during the fiscal year.
After a warning that disburse'
ments cannot be made unless the
money for desirable items is on
hand, Mayor W. Ronald Lane stat.
ed he thought the money should
be kept in the fund. There was nc
further discussion by the council

AT the present time we are

planned.

more, and still they do not seem
to be satisfied" he said.
Prisoner labor is not entirely
satisfactory, Graham explained
but, it pushed and properly SUPER
vised, the prisoners will cut an
allotted unit, each day, he said.
The cuttings engaged in by pulp
wood industries in this district are
at Hampstead. Burgaw, Leland,
Navassa. Supply, Southport and
along the Carolina Beach road.
1--WE could use 100 men a day at
the cutting on the Beach road
Alone" Graham declared, "but
where are we to get the labor?"
wilmington is the largest pro-
Queer of pulp wood in North Caro-
lina," Graham explained. This
coupled with the fact that North
Carolina supplies one-third of the
2,400 tons of pulp wood We process
each day in our plant at George
town is ample proof that the en-
ployment We are offering is not
temporary or part time" he
stressed.
''Our company has been instru-
mental in the keeping of prisoner
of war labor in this district due
to shortage of civilian labor, -
he said. I'm the same instance our
contracts with the War depart
ment for labor run but 80 days

probably be taken from us after
the first Of March," he declared.

COMMUNITY TREE
TO BE REVIVED

City officials took steps yester-
day to revive Wilmington's widely
known practice of decorating a
large tree in Hilton Park every
Christmas, action to become effec-
tive in 1916 as the City council
unanimously agreed to a motion
put by Councilman ]. E. L. Wade.
Board members were of the
opinion that the Hilton Park COM
munity tree was definite asset
to Wilmington and number Of
the councilmen expressed disap-
pointment that provisions for its
use had not been made this year.
Another matter of county wide
interest was preached by Wade,
but the city board failed to take
any positive action on his sugges-
ton that the council reconsider a
recent decision to revive plans
for an addition to the City hall to
provide more office space.
Wade asked that the council give
serious consideration to trying to
purchase, if necessary, with Fed
eral funds. building for use as
a public library.
If this could be facilitated, he
explained, the present library, 10
Gated on the top floor of the City
hall, could be utilized for office
space.
Earlier in the council session
yesterday, bids were received for
new city trucks and sanitation de-
partment equipment. The Baugh
Motor company was successful bid
der on furnishing a one and one
half ton truck for $1,604.2S.
Five bids were received on the
sanitation collection equipment
and all were referred to the city
manager and city engineer for
|tabulation, report and recommen-
|dations.
The council then heard num-
Der of merchants and County Farm
Agent R. w. Galphin, who appear
ed to ask that a recently enacted
ordinance prohibiting the use Of
the city wholesale market by any
persons other than farmers be
rescinded before becoming effec-
tive January /.
The merchants pointed out that
cts the trucker who draws the
merchant to the market to buy
and the farmer at this time of year
does not have enough produce
without the trucker to attract the
merchant
Galphin reported that at a re-
cent meeting of farmers and mer-
chants in Wrightsboro, both groups
were almost unanimously in favor
of continued use of the market by
the truckers.
Saying they were only asking
for ''free trade the delegates
predicted that if the matter were
put to vote, citizens would say
"let us have all the produce we
can have coming into the city"
The city board promised to con-
slider the matter but took no &C
ton today.
Later in the meeting, councilmen
passed ordinances providing two
way traffic on Mutt street, from
Grace to Walnut, and eliminating
an annual fee Of one dollar for in
spection Of signs within the city.
City Attorney w. B. Campbell
presented for adoption a resolu-
ton asking the State Highway and
Public Works commission to widen.
improve and repave the north
south Cor Ocean highway route,
and the main east-west (U. S.
Highway 74-76) highway in the
Wilmington area as quickly as pos
sible.
The resolution was passed
unanimously.

The essential difference between
an enterprise managed privately

in private enterprise IL manage

ness goes broke: in government the

OPA's real difficulty. apart from
inexperienced and unframed direc-
ton. is that il lacks authority in,
the fields which il attempts 10

subject OF meat. The Department
OF Agriculture. the war Food Ad-
minlstrstion, the War Labor Board
and the Office OF Economic Mobtl-
ization all have a piece OF author
ity over meat and meat produc-
ton. The Army. Navy, Lend-Lease
and UNRRA make demands on the
reservoirs OF meat and certainly
the Army. Navy and Lend-Lease
have had priorities over the civil.
ian consumer. OPA then seeks to-
regulate what II has only a partial
authority 10 regulate. namely, the
availability and price OF meat,
OPA, then, can rightly weep
that they are doing the best they
can in the circumstances. Maybe
so. The point is vell-taken that
nothing constructive can be accom-

as Herbert Hoover represented

fact that such authority is lacking.
