An Annexation Question

One question in connection with the city ex-
tension proposal, which fingers in the minds
of some suburban residents, is whether they
would be required to pay city taxes before
receiving the services and improvements pro-
vided for in the program. 1t may be said the
strong probability is that they would not.
If extension of the city limits is favored by
the vote on November 6, as it undoubtedly
will be, the city tax rate would be applied to
property in the annexed areas on January l,
1916, but would not be payable until the follow.
ing October This allows nine months for the
completion of all contracts on improvement
projects, which is considered ample.
AS installations would he made by contrac
tors who would provide their own labor, ano
not depend upon city workers whose time is
fully occupied, this phase of the project would
be taken care of. It is definitely declared
that materials required in carrying out the
improvement program are rapidly becoming
available. In the normal process of carrying
out public works there is no reason to fear
that contemplated contracts will be completed
in the nine months.
Lest any one forget-be sure to register on
Saturday, the thirteenth, or on either of the
two remaining Saturdays in October.

Christmas Packages

The ban on Christmas packages for our
forces abroad becomes effective in three days.
None will be accepted by the post Office after
buying or mailing their gifts should delay no
longer if they hope to have them carried by
the mail.
Heretofore much of the public thought has
been concentrated on gifts for soldiers and
filters and naval officers and personnel. Girls
planning as they deserve. Yet girls can be just
as homesick as men and just as appreciative
of kindness. Perhaps, because as a rule they
have been more sheltered and less often alb
sent from home on holidays, they will ex
perience greater loneliness and suffer more
from neglect of loved ones at the Yuletide.
1t is urged that friends and relatives of the
girls who are still in overseas service 60 to
extra effort to get fIll-weight packages Chey
may weight only five pounds) off in time.
What do they want most? The question i:
hard to answer. But it is suggested that stock
ings head the list for the girls in Alaska, Eng
land, France, Germany and North Africa. Ir
the southwest Pacific it is understood they
would prefer cotton bathing suits and under
wear that will not deteriorate quickly in TIT
topics.
And wherever they are, 1t goes without say
ing they will be glad to receive cologne ane
perfume, cosmetics, lingerie and pajamas
And they will be happy to get pocket-siz'
books and magazines. AS for food. it is sale
they are especially fond of cheese, tuna fish
jams, sandwich spreads and especially home
made cookies.

Something Accomplished

One of the outstanding characteristics OF
Americans is to find fault with existing con-
ditions. Since war came upon us the chief
ault-finding has conferred upon the govern
ment and not without reason. The fact is, it
our armed forces had been as incompetent in
battle as most of the governments leaders
in their tasks, particularly in the bureau
cratic agencies, the victory would not have
been achieved so soon.
Now that the war is over, the same predis-
position among the people to find flaws in gov.
eminent policies and point out its failures, con-
tnues in full strength. This is understandable,
not only because it is a national trait, but
because there are errors in judgment at the
top to condemn and failures in legislation and
other federal processes to grunble over.
At the same time, and without condoning
ington, it is only fair to acknowledge that
government has not utterly failed. On the
contrary any examination of efforts to get
back to peacetime normal levels will show
that much progress has been made in under
takings that directly affect the nation and its
people.
One example of this is President Truman's
recommendation to Congress to make reduc-
tons amounting to approximately 100000 GOO
600 in appropriations for the fiscal year which
started July /; that contracts totaling $4,000,
OOO,O 900 have been cancelled since August IA,
and even before the war ended other contracts
for $38, 900, 00o,O 600 had been cancelled. The
retrenchment program calls for settlement of
contracts at rate of 81 500, 000, 900 month
a sum which is to be increased to $4,000, 00O,'
900 monthly.
With this saving in expenditures the people
are bound to feel its effects in their tax bills.
There is of course, a great necessity for
further government expenditures on a large
scale in the aftermath of the war. Heavy ap.
preparations for highways, public buildings
and other enterprises, with the purpose of pro.
viding employment for veterans and other
worthy men and women must be carried out
for the sake of the national economy. But not.
withstanding these, the snrinkage in spending
is notable.
Now if the government, that is to say, parti.
cularly President Truman acts promptly to
eradicate great sections Of the bureaucracy
that has dominated the nation since the wars
start, and even before, and so cuts off much OF
the extravaganza and waste that has cost
the American people so much Of their money,
above and beyond the needs Of the armed
forces, it will be possible to place further EN-.
phasis upon the governments efforts to restore
normally and less upon its mistakes.

A FELLOW OF INFINITE JEST,
by Thomas Yaseloff- prentice
Hall; $3.)
A fervent desire to win more
readers for Laurence Sterne, au-
thor of the incompatible Iris
tram Shandy" and Sentimental
Journey" inspired the author of
this biography of one of the
greatest English writer's.
Few purposes could be more
commendable. Sterne, an inept
name for genius so merry and
playful, has suffered from a Vic
torian prudishness which present
generations do not share. Our il
logical squeamishness, which odd
" does not extend to Rabelais, has
attempted to hide from our chill
dren something which was prob.
ably no news at all to them, and
has succeeded only in depriving
us of the delight which we are en-
titled to get from one of the joys
of our literature.
Certainly Sterne used his pen to
have f0n with the facts of life;
apparently he was not faithful to
his wife. Conceding all that, he
still created superb characters.

Stadium Deterioration

The Legion Stadium, which is New Hanover
County property, could be one OF the vicinity S
choicest assets with small expenditure and
constant, reliable maintenance. Instead, it is
deteriorating SO rapidly the surprise is any
event is held in it without serious accident
The wooden tops of the concrete seats are
rotting fast. The wonder is any patron Who
does not Use cushion leaves the property
without splinters. The extra seats, SO needed
now during the football season, when the High
school team is attracting extraordinary at
tendance are going to pieces because they
are left in the open to be rained on instead
of being stacked between games under the
stadium structure.
Bad as the seating is, the approach is worse
With but main entrance the driveway
from the highway to the parking space is
rougher than any woods road in southeastern
North Carolina. The single line of motor cars
headed toward the exit bump and wobble
across the thank-you-marms in low gear and
must stop every few feet while the car at the
gate waits for cars on the highway to pass.
The worst bottleneck is at the parking space
where four and five lines of cars must await
their chance to enter that single file to the
gate often for fifteen minutes.
The proposition Of improving the exit into
Greenfield which would relieve the congestion
has been passed up so long the fact that the
possibility of having good exit in this direc.
ton has been all but forgotten.
And what must visitors think of the com.
munity that keeps flirnsy wire fence along
the entire length Of the property, which is ar
eyesore, when other cities with no create,
need for stadium beautify the approach Sc
that it has all the distinguishing marks OF ;
park Because the approach has been SO bad So
long Wilmingtonians have grown accustomed
to it, but visitors certainly cannot form !;
good opinion of the community that allows 81
valuable property to 60 so glaringly t.
pieces.
Maybe the gross revenue from the stables
carnivals and athletic events is not sufficien
to cover all the expense of needed improve
ments That would have to be established b,
records to convince many critics of the coun
tvs Indifference to the stadlums deteriora
ton But even if it were proved, the fact alon
would not justify the county commission int
letting it 60 longer without the repairs AM
improvements SO obviously needed. -
