PADRES CHOP INTO
 SEALy3-Sp0T HOLD
(By The Associated Press)

There was a shortage of baseball activity in the Pacific Coast League yesterday. Only one game was played; but it was a good one.
 With six teams idle, San Diego and San Francisco carried the load at the Padres home field. The Padres won the ball game, 4 to 2, cutting a half game from the Seals third place hold. San Francisco now leads fourth place Sacramento by only half game.
 Vallie Eaves of the Padres tossed a five hitter to down the Seals and gain his twentieth victory of the season.
 The entire league will swing into action again tonight. AS if to make up for lost time, three twin bills are carded: Oakland and Sacra- mento, Portland and San Fran cisco and Seattle and Hollywood Los Angeles and San Diego play single.

KRUC DISCLOSES
CONVERSION PLAN

WASHINGTON, March 16-U.p)-
War Production Chief J. A. Krug
said today that the government
has been doing a lot OF planning
for reconversion after Germany is
beaten, but it just hasn't been
talking about it.
He and other Government Of
ficials have not talked about re-
conversion since last summer,
when disclosure of the original re-
conversion plans created over-op-
tirnism on the home front.
But today Krug brought up the
subject himself during a lull in
his press conference. He wouldn't
reveal the new plans. But he said
that when they can be used the
country will see that they are much
better than the ones permaturely
proposed last summer. He said the
new plans have plenty of flexibility
to take care of changing military
situations.
"When the appropriate time
comes" he said, 1.-The programs we
have established will meet the
problems of changing over to par
tial civilian production. After the
collapse of Germany, we'll drop
our controls - as many as we can
consistent with an about war eff
fort against Japan"

CITY AUDITORIUM
PLANS DISCUSSED

Plans for a postwar municipal
auditorium in Wilmington were an
nounced yesterday by ]. L. Ale
good, chairman of the projects
committe, at the regular meeting
of the Exchange club.
Mr.. Allegood declared that the
idea first was sponsored in 1885
by Exchangites and that the CT
tvs postwar planning board was
studying its feasibility among 9TH
er projects.
There is a definite need IN the
City for ar auditorium of suitable
capacity and versatility, planned
for long-range utility, he pointed
out.
Mr.. Allegood pre- sc e ex-
amples of the type auditorium
which he felt would fill the need,
and cited Augusta, Ga, as hav-
ing beautiful building for this
purpose. Pictures of the building
were inspected by the members.
The talk was finished with an
appeal to the general public to ex-
press opinions on type and loca-
ton of the building either to the
City Manager Or the Chamber of
Commerce.
Mr.. Allegood al S informed
members that sponsorship of the
River road, along the eastern bank
of the Cape Fear, introduced ten
years ago by the club, would be
pushed as it's importance to the
future of Wilmington's port facili-
ties was easily apparent.
/ Discussion was held among the
members to obtain any additional
projects which might be worth
while for postwar consideration
and Leo Sykes, club secretary.
spoke in support of the establish
ment of a Junior college for girls.
He advocated investigation into
surplus Government land in the
vicinity of Maffitt Village after the
war as a site for the school. 1t
was revealed that the Planning
Board also was considering this
project.
During the meeting, Charles
Burke, of the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad, was introduced to the
club as a new member.
A motion was made by Mr..
Sykes that a message of welcome
be sent to the new coach of the
New Hanover High school, Leon
in Wilson and an addi-
tional suggestion was made that
the club secretary write letter.
The motion was carried.

For Those In Pain
By Chaplain Frank M.
Thompson

The why of pain remains I'M
answered. No explanation ex-
plains, no argument convinces that
it serves any useful purpose OR
that it is necessary in the scheme
of existence.
No doubt many fine things have
come out of suffering just as
beautiful flowers bloom in the
midst of glacial mountains or on
the blackened edge Of a volcano,
but the one is as much pheno-
menon as the other. AS far as hui
man understanding is concerned
most suffering is vain, unprofl-
table, needless.
The brave, serene soul. Robert
L. Stevenson was a chronic invalid
most of his short life. When he
could no longer speak he COM
municated his thoughts through
his twitching fingers. In his "a
Children's Garden of Verses" he
has a brave, pathetic poem. 1t is
not for children, but for grown
ups.
'In winter I get up by night,
And dress by yellow candle
light,
In summer, quite the other
way,
I have to 60 to bed by day.
l have to 60 to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the
tree,
And hear the grown-up peoples
feet
Passing by me in the street.
Oh, does it not seem hard to
you,
When all the sky is clear and
blue,
And 1 should like so much to
play,
To have to 60 to bed by day."
But dying, he could sing
Under the wide and starry
sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie,
Glad, did l live, and gladly die"
The only worthwhile compensa-
ton for pain and suffering is a
calm, radiant, courageous spirit.

BY WILLIAM E. G1LRoY, D. j

BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, d. u
There is, and can be, no life
without law. 1t is by the laws Of
nature that we come into the
world, and by the laws of nature
that all life is nourished and sus.
tanned. In babyhood the process is
without our knowledge or con.
seriousness, but as we grow we I'm
derstand, and we work constantly
with nature to our benefit and up.
building, or we disregard the laws
of nature of our hurt. Even in adult
life we are in large measure
babes; for how little we understand
of the complex and mysterious
thing we call life" and in spite
of all our research how far we
are as yet from discovering all the
laws that govern it!
But every sensible man knows
that we live in a world of law.
And this is as true of the higher
ranges of life as of its physical
foundation. We are discovering
this increasingly in our political
and social life. There are laws of
human welfare the neglect of
which. or the disobedience of
which, brings tragedy and destruc-
ton. We know that there cannot
be liberty without law; and that
where some have freedom, with
out regard to law, and the hber-
ties and rights of others, unhappy
social conditions result that ulti-
mately affect the welfare OF all.
But when we write of law and
liberty, we must recognize that all
law does not make for liberty.
People often speak, or write, OF
obedience as if it were in itself
a virtuous and desirable thing. 1t
depends entirely upon what one
obeys. Obedience to men like HIT.
Ter, and to the sort of laws that
they have enacted has brought hor-
ror and suffering upon the world,
and at TIC moment of writing l.
looks as if that sort of obedience
is about to bring doom upon the
people who have given it. Laws
have often been promulgated and
designed to establish tyranny, rath-
er than to promote liberty.
Law tends toward liberty, only
when it is not contrary to the laws
of God, and of Gods world. And
the highest law of all, the only
law obedience to which could
bring fu1ness of liberty and vel
fare to man, is the law of Love.
The two great commandments OF
Love - 10 love God with all the
heart, and soul, and mind, and
strength; and to love ones neigh
Dor as ones self-are not inven-
tons of Christianity, or peculiarly
Christian. They are part of that
great heritage from Judaism that
Jesus said He had not come 10
destroy, but to fulfill. They were
the great commandments that Je-
sus heard as a boy as He attend
ed worship in the synagogue, oc-
cupying place in the ritual from
Sabbath to Sabbath of similar i'm
portancc 10 the Lords Prayer in
the worship of Christian churches.
Well might we make those COM
mandments, also, part OF our
regular Christian worship, until
we come a little nearer to making
them effective in daily life and
conduct.
