Vote For A Greater City

While there are signs that victory will crown
the effort to extend Wilmington's boundaries
at today's election it can be done only it all
registered voters go to the polls and cast their
ballots.
It is not only civic duty to VOTE There is
a distinctly selfish reason The larger city,
with its greater population, will be to the ad.
vantage of every resident.
Annexation will mean continued prosperity
and growth. People, desirable families and
workers, settle in cities offering opportunities
for steady employment. They do not move in
when cities fail to grow, either in population
or business and industrial development.
Wilmington must move ahead, as it can il
the extension proposal is given the backing it
deserves, or inevitably it will 60 backward
It cannot stand STILL
A vote for city extension means a vote for
a greater Wilmington.
If you cannot 60 to the polls conveniently
at your lunch period or after work, employers
are being urged to let you of to visit the polls
during working hours. Or il you lack transpor-
tation, cars will be available to take you to
and return you from the polls. Phone any
City Hall telephone number and a car will
speed to your door.

Call For MIR. Hurley

Civil war in north China and Manchuria

that as soon as "au kuomintang troops are

Meanwhile the communists, whether they
are better trained and equipped or occupy
the best positions 60 on making strategic
gains, taking one and threatening four more
cities northwest Of Hankow.
With no material change in the situation
Of the central government, and the commun.
lists on the march, it appears that official
quarters in Chungking are anxiously await.
ing the return to China OF United States Am.
bassador Patrick J. Hurley, whose short
tenure Of office at Chungking resulted in
marked improvement in general conditions.
A few weeks ago Washington announced that
Mr.. Hurley would return to China but no date
was set for his departure. With China's po.
sition deteriorating 80 critically, Chinese Of.
Ecials are anxious to know when he will actu.
ally be back in Chungking.
What this means, obviously, is that the Unit
ed States is expected to play the role Of
peace-maker among warning factions in Chi.
ma, with Mr.. Hurley in the key position. The
world leadership to which this nation fell heir
with conclusion Of organized resistance by the
dictator countries has imposed many burdens
upon US, some Of which we are meeting with
skill and efficiency, and others in which We
are not doing so well
Because we have been such close friend
Of the Central Chinese Government in the
past, it is only natural that we should now
do all in our power to end the bloodshed and
quarreling among Chinese elements and pre-
pare the nation for unity and progress.
No better agent to put such a program into
effect could be selected than Mr.. Hurley.

More Capital Needed

Industrial Properties, Inc, which was
launched to bring new industries to the Will
rnington area by providing buildings for them
which they would be permitted to occupy at
low rent charges, originally subscribed $780,
900 for the purpose. Since, the amount has
proved too small, and additional investors are
sought who will raise the working capital to
more than soc, 900, it may be said that money
so employed is well invested. not only for
the community's benefit and the convenience
Of incoming industries but for the investor
himself The element Of loss is at the ultimate
minimum. Surely Wilmington business COM
munity can well afford to subscribe the ad-
ditional funds sought, for so worthy cause.
Two obvious reasons for So investing are
offered.
!. Industrial Properties, Inc, was organized
for the purpose Of assisting in the erection
Of buildings for desirable industries which
might be induced to locate in Wilmington,
and in order to meet the competition from
other cities which either have available ia.
cilities, or are willing to furnish them. AL
prospects are carefully checked through cred.
it agencies, banks and other sources where
information can be obtained relative to the
desirability Of the proposed industry. its fl
nancial condition, its reputation in its bus.
ness dealings and in its treatment Of EN-.
ployes.
2. It is not the intention Of Industrial Prop.
critics, Inc, to move too quickly or to un.
balance the supply Of labor, but to attempt
to furnish employment properly balanced be-
tween men and women, as the war activities
subside in order to utilize as much Of our
surplus housing as may be possible through
the offer Of permanent employment to the
present residents Of Wilmington A labor sur-
vey is now being made, and every attempt
will be made to keep our labor demand in
balance and to see that any new proposed In
dustries will fit into our economy.
Surely this is a program in which every
Wilmingtonian should wish to invest. The ad.
ditional capital requested ought. in all reason
to be forthcoming promptly.

Higgins Points The Way

Hats Oft to Andrew ]. Higgins, New Orleans
boat builder. He deserves the gratitude Of the
nation. Instead Of congressional investiga-
that august body.
When his employees struck and he could not
operate his plants, Mr.. Higgins closed down.
In his own way he did what the Star-News
recommended two weeks ago. With strikes
spreading like an epidemic over the country
and labor leaders growing more arrogant from
day to day. we suggested the time had come
for capital to strike. In effect, this is what
Mr.. Higgins has done.
He closed down last Thursday. His three
boat and trailer camps were locked up "for
keeps, as he expressed it. Then he offered
10 sell the plants to the Unions that had walk.
ed out on him. Will they buy? Hardly.
Instead, their publicity chairman, in their
name, acknowledges they couldn't operate
them even il they had the purchase money
SHe knows we couldn't handle the plants, -
says William L. Donnels, the public relations
agent of the unions, and adds: ''we wouldn't
know what to do with them.''
The unions charge Mr.. Higgins with having
some hidden motive and look to Congress tt
expose him.
It is our impression that his motive is mo-
hidden. On the contrary, it seems exceedingly
plain. His workers won't work. He can't oper
ate without them. They want to negotiate
while admitting they can't operate the plants
As it is his capital and he faces loss, wheth
er he closes or negotiates with men who cam
take over, he does the one sensible thing. HI
pockets the keys and takes his loss
The same process would be costly in othe
industries, but it is not to be doubted that
his example were followed, even at the larges
industrial plants labor would soon be singin
another song.

YOUR G. |. RIGHTS
By DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Here
are some questions concerning the
return of GIs from overseas:
@. Could you tell me when the
730th Engineers Depot will be
sailing from Manila? My husband
has SO points and has been told
they will be sent soon. l would
appreciate any information as it
makes a great difference IN my
plans for the next few months, es-
pecially as to living quarters.
A. No information about this
unit is available, but there are
many men in the Pacific with
higher than SO points and highest
point men are coming first. Dis
charge point minimum drops to go
on November !, after which Soto
70 pointers will be returned.
@. My son is in Germany with
Company c, 51st Engineers. When
will this unit return?
A. It's scheduled tor October %,
IN SIS. 'Enfoula Victory"
Q. My husband Is in comba,
crew, 18th Air Force, And Bomh
Group, Philippine Islands. He has
been in the Army five years and
las more than IS points. His group
has been told they are not includ.
ed in the point system and no set.
up has been arranged for their re.
turn or discharge. Is this true, and
it so, why?
A. There is no such regulation
or understanding here With more
than IS points, your husband
should return for discharge as
soon as transportation is available.

Capt. Saburov, commanding the
second battalion of a regiment in
the 693rd Rifle Division. unit in
the historic defense of Stalingrad,
is the hero of this novel about the
battle which has been called the
turning point of World War II.
Though there's a heroine, too,
Anya Klimenko, a nurse, this is
pretty much an affair Of men
without women. Saburov's division
moves across the Volga into the
focal city in September, 1912. and
joins in the desperate struggle.
Since this pictures on page after
page the actual fighting, the eff
forts of small units to defend a
street, block, a single building,
it's a novel hard to keep interest
ing. But there is never a monot-
onoIs moment. The variety in the
action is based, it must be sup.
posed, on that in the real conflict.

Religion
DayBy Day
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

FROCK COAT-AND FOX GOD
One day, years ago when in To.
kio, I was observing a matsuri,
or religious festival in honor Of
the fox god, who is one of the
lesser dieties Of Japan, especially
regarded by the common people.
At one shrine 1 saw a japanese
gentleman, completely clad IN
foreign style, with white collar,
frock coat and patent leather
shoes, prostrating himself before
this meanest of the native gods.
That trifling incident dbides with
me as an illustration OF the pro-
found truth that "civilizatior" IS
no u b ii u tie for Christianity.
When heathendom wears the ha.
biliments of occidental culture, it
is still Northumberland the more
dangerous because it has mastered
the culture of the West. A new
heart under the old clothes is more
to be desired than new clothes
over the old heart.
fertilization" cannot save the
world from war, greed, exp.olta'
ton, oppression and injustice. Only
the new mind which Christ IN
parts can do that.
Create within us new hearts, 0
God: for Thou desirest truth N
the innermost parts. Save us from
all the aeathenish practices when
civilization condones, and make us
new in Christ Jesus. Amen.
