1866 Children Served in Year
By Betty Grove Smith

! AS Mrs. Chandler talked to us
she was interrupted from time to
time to register babies.
"The girls names are pretty
fancy" she said. "Just listen" !"
Donna" in various combinations
seemed to lead, followed by Sandra
and Sharon and Gloria and Patricia.
The boys are just plain Bill or Tom
or Jim or John. They're almost
always named after papa and
at least half are nicknamed Butch -
Often a young soldier comes to
the nursery without a baby. He's
on his way home for that long hoped
for furlough. He has never seen
his baby and he wants to know how
to fix a formula or change diaper
before he gets home. The other day
a young paratrooper came to Mrs.
Chandler looking pretty embar-

COMMISSION LETS
ANNEX CONTRACT

A contract for re-roofing the
courthouse annex was let to the
lowest bidders, E. S. Piver and
Son, for $2,157, yesterday by the
board Of county commissioners.
Motion to award the contract
was passed by the affirmative
votes of Commissioners Louis Cole.
man and Harry Gardner. Com.
missioner George Trask cast q
negative vote, explaining that
the work originally was to DO
done under specifications which did
not call for the removal of all the
present roof; and if the county ad.
hered to those recommendations 1t
would mean a saving of 5000
The commissioners generally
were of the opinion that it would
be necessary to remove the entire
roof in order TO have the work
done properly.
A letter from T. T. Belts, division
engineer of the State Highway com.
mission, was read in answer to 4
long-standing request by the coun-
ty fol some action on the improve.
ment of 23rd street on the Market
street extension. At the request of
Commissioner James Hall, the
board recently instructed County
Clerk Thomas X. Woody to write
Belts for a report.
The engineer explained that no
contracts were let by the Highway
department for such short jobs. He
expressed the probability that the
State would hard-surface the street
in the future with highway forces.
Belts said it might be next sum.

would be available for the work.
A lengthy discussion resulted
from a request by ]. R. Hollis.
county welfare department head,
for an appropriation of $3.50 month
ly for the next eight months for
old-age assistance.
Hollis explained that the State
had offered to provide $3.50 month.
ly provided the county would match
| it with $3.50. This action would
make available $1,000 monthly for
additional old-age assistance in
New Hanover county. He stated
that there were at present 81 APP
plicat:ons in his office that could
not be taken care of with present
funds.
Board members voiced opposi-
ton to Hollis proposal and the
matter was taken under cons1dera-
ton.
Other action included:
A resolution authorizing {. r.

to turn over to the county auditor

Automobile fatalities are increas-

fast becoming a statewide eaIam-
ity, with high speed driving and
lack of caution accountable for the
majority of these tragedies, it is
asserted in a statement just re-
leased by the Automobile Insurers
Safety Association.
Since VI Day the toll has been
mounting steadily; already in ru-
raj areas the accident rate has
practically doubled and in urban
centers the percentage likewise is
mounting, the association states.
Basing their statement on fig
ures compiled by the Michigan
State Police, the Safety Association,
which is conducting a campaign to
reduce this slaughter on the high
ways, asserts that only slower
speeds and more careful driving
can cut down the auto casualty
rate. 1t cautions that safety Off
Gals may feel obliged to advocate
a return of the 35-mile speed limit
on rural highways, as that is where
most fatalities occur.

Black Market In
Toys Hits Santa
of Young Parisians

PARIS. Wg-Is there O Santa
Claus? Maybe somewhere else. But
not here in PROSTATE France where
millions of children have lost faith
in the little old saint after six
years Of war.
Countless generations of French
boys and girls have waited for
countless Christmas mornings in
certain faith that Pere Noel-their
Santa Claus-would fill their ira
ditional wooden shoes beside the
fireplace.
But there are few among this
generation of five and six-yesr-olds
who have hope that their first
Christmas of peace will bring back
the legendary gift-giver.
Pere Noel Is as hard-hit by in
flation and scarcities as anyone in
France, perhaps harder. The shop
keepers and buyers say 1t will be
ar expensive proposition for him
to even start filling the empty
shoes this year.
Paris shops and department
stores nave been exhibiting an am
pie supply Of toys, but the prices
are so prohibitive that parents
bring their children for a wistful
look through the windows at play
things they can't afford to buy.
The eyer-preSent influence of the
OF is evident. in all the toy dis
plays. The most popular single item
is the toy jsep, faithfully repro
duced in green-painted wood.
The largest model, big enough to
seat small child, retails for al
most 5000 francs-$16o. The baby
size, which would not be worth
more than Is to so cents in Amer
lean stores, costs almost So.
Cheaply-made dolls sell anywhere
from $40. to $40, and a tiny dolls
house costs almost 500.
If the children want candy in
stead of toys, they can have it
at fantastic black market prices.

Veterans Housing
Measures NOtc
Before Senate

WASHINGTON. WD - The ad-
miniStration will be ready this week
to put into effect two parts of the
presidents three-point program to
relieve the housing shortage, par
ticularly for veterans.
The Senate is expected to pass
and SEND to the White House be-
fore the weekend bill authorizing
the government to spend sl6O, OOO,.
GOO on temporary housing for 1OO,-
600 veterans and their families. The
House passed the bill yesterday.
On Friday the Civilian Produc-
ton Administration Is expected to
announce its new priority regula-
ton which will channel some so
per cent of scarce building mate
rails into new housing costing less
than $4,000 per unit. CPA Chief
John D. Small said the regulation
would provide preference for vet
Grams.
The president listed priorities on
building materials and the use of
government war housing for vet
Grams as two points of his three
point program. -
The third point was the placing
OF ceilings on new and old homes.
Under the priorities plan a $4,000
ceiling will be put in effect on new
homes. Legislation will be necessary,
however, to place ceiling prices on
old houses being resold. The Pat
man bill now being considered by
House committee would effect
this third point of the presidents
program.

Members should note that the meeting place has been changed. The meeting on Sunday will be held at Tusana Hall. Moore Avenue, New London.

This local could very well be one of the strongest and most influential in the yard. But unless we all sign up and help share the load we can expect little or no consideration from anyone.
