Helpful Suggestions

In separating eggs, even the ex-
perts get speck of yolk in with the
whites from time to time. When
that happens they just touch the
yolk with a cloth moistened in cold
water. The yolk speck will stick to
the cloth and all will be well.
There's way to avoid cooking
spaghetti to a sorry mush while
waiting for indispensable guests to
arrive. Cook it to within a minute or
two of doneness, drain it and let
plenty of cold water run thru it. Set
aside, still in the colander, and when
ready to serve, plunge colander and
all into pot of hard-boiling sailed
water to cook and heat for minute.
In stew making, always hold out
emphatically for browning the meat
in hot fat before adding stock or
whatever liquid is to be used. Add
about three-fourths of a cup of

Tolerance Toward Parkers

When parking meters were first Installed
4 sense of responsibility for strict observance,
and in order to impress the driving public
with the fact that meters were intended to
improve the downtown parking situation,
tagged cars relentlessly and headquarters col
lected the 81 fiar prescribed for overparklng
regardless of the excuse offered by offenders
Now that the meters have been in opera
ton for a considerable period of time and both
parkers and traffic officers have had oppor-
tunity to observe the benefits they afford and
the harm over-enforcement does, one member
of the police department wants to see SEN
sible modification OF the rules.
Some of the suggestions he made in a
letter to City Manager A. C. Nichols well de-
serve bordering, even adoption. No fine should
be imposed, he contends, upon this group of
offenders:
If a visitor comes into the city late at
a ticket on his car the next morning when
he returns to it about 10 a. m. I believe he
should be excused, unless he is a frequent
visitor, such as a salesman.
"a person. either local or out-oftown, 60
ing to a doctors office often is delayed
through some reason over which he has no
control, such as the doctor returning late to
his office due to calls he had to make I'M
expectedy; and should be excused.
''Visitors from outlying towns, such as
Whiteville Burgaw. Jacksonville, ETC., getting
tickets and not turning in same to headquar-
ters should not be sent card requesting them
to come back to Wilmington and pay dol
lar unless he is repeater. I don't think this
is good-neighbor policy, and believe it should
be ignored unless he is a constant violator in
which case the officers will catch him again.
IF a person comes to station and states
that he thought the meters would take more
than one coin, and we are Of the opinion he
is truthful about the matter, l believe he should
be excused
To the credit of the chief and all mem.
bers Of the traffic squad be it said that toler.
ance has superseded the original severity
visited upon offenders

A Goal Attained

The opening of the Brigade Boys camp
next Saturday will mark the completion OF a
Kiwanis club major objective Four years ago
the club realized that without some definite
work to perform it was just drifting and 70
prevent a tail spin undertook chief sponsor
ship of the Brigade, with members OF Will
mington's other civic clubs sharing the board
dictatorship in an advisory capacity.
With the greater impetus and wider in
terest in the Brigade thus created, the es-
tablshment of summer camp for boys who
would otherwise enjoy no vacation outing was
promoted Land having been secured on
Porters Neck through the generosity and CO.
operation of C. Van Leuvan, the Kiwanians
forthwith started construction of a mess hall,
chiefly with volunteer labor and contributed
materials, under the direction of the Brigade's
executive director, William A. Stewart, VINO
was eninently successful in his solicitation
of materials and equipment from building
firms and contractors.
Encouraged by the success OF this ad-
venture, the Kiwanians within their own mem
bership contributed more than $4,000 for the
construction of cottages and other physical
improvements, including piers, stairway
from the bluff athletic fields and landscap-
ing program which is still incomplete but
will be worked on until the camp becomes one
Of the most attractive as well as the finest OF
similar projects in the state.
Now it is ready for the first full season
of camping The accommodations provided
are of the finest. From 300 to 400 boys will
have a two-week outing in environment and
under conditions well calculated to give them
the time Of their young lives. Not the least OF
its attractions is that many of the boys at
one time or another have lent a hand in con-
struction and so acquired sense OF proprie'
torship. Another priced aspect is that the XII
wants club has achieved its goal through the
effort of it's own members, without seeking fl
nancial aid from the public.
And perhaps the greatest satisfaction OF all
is that the camp bears the name THE Bruce
B. Cameron Memorial Boys Camp" as a
tribute to the man who, whatever his bust
ness and executive obligations, never lost in
terest in the Brigade and contributed in many
ways to it's growth and welfare.

We Lead New York

New Workers take it for granted that they
lead the world in all things This is because,
like the Russians they know little or nothing
about what goes on in the rest of the world.
They are smugly complacent they don't
even know their neighbors.
We note, for example, that the New York
City Board of Health recently amended a Sec
ton Of the sanitary code to prohibit the sale
of sulfa drugs without physicians prescrip-
ton, and that the ban will not become effec-
tive until October l next.
Wilmingtonians have not been able to buy
any of the sulfa preparations without pre-
scription for some time past, which is worth
lusty crow.
Why should their promiscuous sale be pro-
hibited? Because sulfa drugs are two
edged sword" says New York's acting health
commissioner, who adds:
"In the hands of a physician they are
one of our most valuable weapons against
certain dangerous diseases. Used indiscrimi-
nateIy, however, they do great deal OF
harm, even when employed in small concen.
trations That is why the Board Of Health has
moved to ban the unrestricted sale of those
sulfa containing products which, up to now
have been sold without prescription
The point is that we knew about this anc
acted on our Information ahead OF the hut
Of the universe.

Air Challenge Accepted

New Japanese aircraft are much better
than the planes the Pacific enemy used in
earlier stages of the war. Not long ago it was
claimed that the latest models could outhy,
outmaneuver and Outright the best we could
send against them.
The answer has been found, the Navy be-
lieves, in the new Gruman Tigercat CITY,
er-bomber yet produced for the Navy. 1t is
the successor to the older Gruman Wildcat
and Hellcat and is understood to be in high
production.
Washington says it is about SO per cent
heavier than the Hellcat, with more than
double its predecessors horsepower. Its two
210Ohorsepower Pratt & Whitney engines,
combined with design features, make it the
Nays fastest climbing plane and give it a
speed rated in the 425-miles- an-hour class. 1t
climbs a mile a minute.
The plane also has more firepower than
either the Hellcat or Corsair, the Navy's other
standard fighter, and can carry either 1900
pounds of bombs or full-sized marine tor
pedo. 1t also carries rockets. Its range, aug.
mented by 3O0-gallon auxiliary tank which
can be dropped, exceeds that of the Corsair
and Hellcat.
1t is also said that while production for
several months is earmarked for the Marines,
the Navy plans to use Tigercats on the As, DOC
ton carriers of the Midway class. special
model designed for night fighting is also in
production When all models GRO ovo;l,b1o i,
large numbers, the final drive against the
Pacific enemy will have advanced another
step.

their problems we turn to srppli.
cation in behalf of the victims of
war - the homeless, the hungry,
the heart sick the wounded and
the bereaved. Our thoughts 90 out

have lost dear ones in this vast
war. Only Thou canst console and
sustain them. May the promise of
the Saviour, about to die, of a
prepared abiding place in the
Fathers house, be fulfilled to
them; so that, sanctified by holy
memories and sure hopes, thew
may live in anticipation of blessed
reunions in the realm of eternal
peace. May all of Us live more
worthily because of the lives sacri.
tlced in our behalf. Thus, in tn.

Children Robbed of Toys

The world has been justly and grievously
shocked at conditions in German concentra-
ton and prisoner of war camps Now comes
evidence of German depravity in another
direction
They were not content with robbing their
victim countries of wealth and other treas
ures, with stealing crops and driving men
and women into slavery
They even robbed French children of their
toys.
From Paris comes word that 500 pack
ing cases recovered upon the liberation of the
French capital contained nothing but toys
not new toys but ragged and NANCY teddy
bears, legless or armless dolls, miniature autos
and engines with flat or missing wheels.
Only German soldiers under Hitler could
appraise these things as "spoils of war;
1t takes no keen imagination to picture
Hitler's troops yanking a loved doll from a
ragged girl or crippled locomotive from a
boy playing train in the street.
And there are still persons who can adj
vocate with dry eyes a soft peace for Ger
many.
