THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Never be content to do your second best,
however unimpertant the occasion.
General Phil. Sheridan
Red Cross Tops Goal

In the traditional manner that has marked
all appeals for public support in money raising
campaigns since the war started Wilmington
and New Hanover county have again gone over
the top. The Red Cross War Fund appeal
which had as its goal S88, 900, had brought in
more than s93, 900 by Wednesday night a sur.
plus above S., 900.
But while there is good reason in this show
ing again to congratulate the greater COM
munity it is still to be pointed out that be-
cause of the many and heavy demands the To-
cal chapter must meet during its next fiscal
year at least as great an additional surplus
should be forthcoming.
Not until the fund has crossed the 500, 900
mark can it be considered that the campaign
has been as fruitful as conditions require.
The campaign office in the Tide Water build
ing is to remain open for the balance Of this
week, at least. It is the hope that all solicit
tors will have made their reports and residents
who have delayed their subscriptions will hast
en- to send or take in their gifts by Saturday.

The Prodigal Returns

Argentina, the prodigal, has come home
after living with too many Nazi swine toe
long, and preparations are under way for kill
ing the fatted calf for her in the form of an
invitation to the San Francisco security con.
ference next month In other words, Argen.
tina has declared war on the Axis, and rec
ognition is expected within a week.
It is to be earnestly hoped that Argentina
is properly penitent and ready to cast aside
her Waywardness. 1t would be too bad if she
were admitted to the community of nations
that have fought the war against the Axis
only to continue to foster Nazism under cover
and afford Nazi leaders an asylum when
peace has returned or even to provide hid
ing place for the wealth they stole from over
run European countries and are alleged to
have deposited by one trick or another in
Argentine banks.
If Argentina has reformed, is sincere in
her present attitude, her government is en-
titled to a fair chance to prove it, But it is
hard to place full faith in her eleventh-hour
conversion. There will be many to view her
act of declaring war as the equivalent of a
rats in deserving sinking ship.

On Job 81 Years

We have Just read of the death of J. A. Doc
little at 80. We had not before heard of him
but learn with deep interest that he was or
his job as chief engineer of Woodlawn GENE
tary in the Bronx for 81 years. His record
deserves especial notice in these days OF row.
ing workers and the general unsettled con-
professions or otherwise.
Despite the governments efforts to hold
workers at their tasks, which already include
a release from an employer for any employe
seeking to move on, and threaten to impose
actual drafting of workers, there is great diff
ticulty IN all business and industry in main
tanning full stats, and when other reasons for
shifting are absent, strikes take men from
their jobs.
The general lack of workers is not wholly
due to the presence of some ten million per
sons in the armed forces. 1t stems in part
from the restlessness of the masses which wa!
born Of war. 1t is so easy, with the world in
combat, to become dissatisfied with working
conditions, with the necessity of doing good
job and being patient under trying circum
stances, that thousands jump at the chance
to 20 somewhere else, and too often succeed
in doing sc.
Well here is one man who was so far above
the prevailing impulse that he stuck to his
post for 81 years. What an example he set for
the rest OF us.

Junior College Election

Among the major measures affecting this
county which Representative LeGrand intro
ouced and engineered to passage in the recent
session of the State Legislature is the enabling
act providing for vote Of the people on q
proposal to create a junior college for the
benefit not only of pupils from this community
but from all of southeastern North Carolina.
The next step toward this greatly needed
project is the calling of an election by the
Board of County Commissioners, so that voters
Emay register their view upon the establish
ment of the college and the cent tax deemed
necessary for its maintenance, at least at the
start; over the revenue to be created by the
tuition payments by pupils.
! II this election is called within reasonably
short time, and the verdict at the polls is
favorable, as it should be, wilmington coult
lopen the school next fall.

ENSIGN Buchanan is an ace, with
five Jap planes to his credit. he
ditched his. plane successfully, and
got out in This rubber boat. He was
only eight miles from shore. and
five miles from the big island that
stands at the bay entrance.
Then the flight leader took
charge. He is Lieut.. John Fecke,
of Duxhury, Mass. He is also an
ace, and an old hand at the game.
He has downed seven Jap planes.
Fecke took the remaining four OF
the flight, and started out looking
for an American rescue ship. They
found one about 80 miles off the
Bay entrance.
They talked to him on the radio,
told him the circumstances, and he
sent back word he was willing to
try. But he asked them to stick
with him and give air support.
So Lieut.. Fecke ordered the 9TH
err four to stay and circle above
the ship, while he went back to
pick up Buchanan's location and
guard him.
But when he got there, he could
not find Buchanan. He flew for rs
minutes around Tokyo Bay and
was about to despair, when he be-
gan getting sun flashes in his eyes.
He flew over about three miles
and there was Buchanan. He had
used his signal mirror, just like it
says in the book.
In the meantime, the ships pro-
gress was slow. It took almost two
hours to get there. And one by one
the aerial escort began getting in
trouble, and one by one Fecke or
dered them home to our ship,
which was getting farther away
all the time.
Lieut. Irl Sonner, of Petaluma,
Calf, lost the use of his radio
and had to leave.
Lieut.. Max Barnes, of Olympia,
Wash, got dangerously low on gas,
and Fecke sent him home Gas
shortage also sent back Lieut.. Bob
Murray of Muncie, Ind.
That left only Lieut.. Fecke cir
cling above the man in the boat.

And they pulled it off. They went
right into the lions mouth, pulled
out our pilot, and got safely away.
Then, and then oaly, did Fecke
and Berner start home.
They came back to us three
hours after all the rest had re-
turned. They had flown six hours
on a three-hour mission. But they
helped save an American life by
doing so.

this paragraph:

How Things Have Changed

When CAT was ridden in flames into the
ground during the flight of the 18th. airborne
division into Germany, the men abroad were
taken prisoner by group of enemy soldiers
while helping an injured man out of plane.
The Germans led their captives to house
and fed them and treated them like brothers.
As other gliders landed nearby and things
rot hot in the neighborhood the Germans
asked to be taken prisoner and sent to this
rear.
This probably is fair picture OF the way
things are going in western Germany these
days.
