Invest Capital At Home

Several days ago the Star voiced the opinion
that the South could hope to move ahead at
a faster pace in the postwar era it it made
special effort to keep its young men at home
and utilized their talent and training in ex'
banding it's commerce and industry. John
Colucci, the Wilmington industrialist, carried
the proposition a step ahead for this COM
munity in his address to the Kiwanis club
on Wednesday.
Mr.. Colucci declared Wilmington ought to
employ its own capital in exploring and de-
veloping industrial potentialities. He did moi
definitely deplore efforts to attract outside
capital, but emphasized the possibilities for
service and for profit by putting local capital
to work at home Considering the volume OF
local bank clearings and the fact that no in
terest is paid on checking accounts and only
per cent on savings, there seems no good
reason that the money which earns little or
nothing should not be working for the benefit
not only of depositors but the community at
large.
In surveying industrial opportunities, Mr..
Brazil and said he could envision ships laden
with raw coffee coming into Wilnington's port
for roasting and packing and distribution to
consumer markets. In the past much of Bra
zirs coffee was shipped to New Orleans and
to Mobile. Coffee processing, in the prewar
days, was lucrative business in both these
cities. In the new competition foreseen in
postwar days coffee processing might become
prime asset here.
This is but one of the chances for business
and community advancement on the horizon.
Mr.. Colucci directed his hearers attention
to furniture manufacture, which .has-haen-So
highly developed at High Point and which
could be launched in Wilmington where the
port gives additional advantage.
The opportunities for profitable investment
Of local capital are plain as "the nose on
your face

SeabOard Auction

A sale that will be Of great interest in rail-
road circles, particularly of the South is the
forthcoming auction of the seaboard Airline
Railway Company on the last day Of this

about it:

years over the eventual control of the Sea

Headquarters began to bear down on h {
Germans, but it is reported that in some
sections of Germany and Austria enemy Of
ficers were permitted to keep their pistols
and some armed guards were allowed to KEEP

Wystan Hugh Alden, English
born poet, husband of Erika Mann
and at present teacher in this
country, is slated to receive to-
day 1000 and the Award Of Merit
Medal from the American Acad-

Given every five years to a poet,
the award is not for any one vol
ume but, says the academy, for
his writings as whole; the basis
taken as this collection.
It's an unusually well merited
honor, and slightly unexpected, for
the academy is conservative and
Alden is not. He is not conserva-
tive in his living. he served with
the Loya1ists in Spain. nor in
his art, which is richly figured,
experimental, dynamic and bold.

NORRIS, Tenn. - In WOrlo
so full of war and destruction,
it is good to come here to the

great creative idea - is growing
and developing, taking root in this
ancient American soil.
Inevitably, of course, the We I

since so much of TWAS energy
is going into the war effort. AT
one time, up to 60 per cent Of
IVA power was being used to fab.
ricate aluminium for the vast fleets
of bombers and fighters that have
done so much to bring victory ir
Europe.
But the goal of IVA has never
been lost sight of. You can see
progress wherever you look; the
kind of progress that ramifies out
so far no one can calculate what
it's ultimate effect will be.
It's hard to put the IVA into
words. 1t is not just the genera.
ton of electric power, which IVA
has done in abundance. It is not
alone flood control and the strings
of barges that you see moving up
and down the Tennessee and its
tributaries. Nor is it merely soil
conservation.
All of these things are part of
IVA. But as you hear them talk
it down here, it is more than this.
1t is the growth Of a region. It
is the growth Of people and the
growth of the soil they live on. So

WASHINGTON CALLING
by
MARQUIS CH1IDS

many things go into it that can't
be weighed.
Not America alone, but the
whole world is discovering t h G
meaning of IVA. In recent years
a constant procession of visitors
has come to the Tennessee Valley
from every part of the globe.
Many of the delegates to the San
Francisco conference have inquir.
ed about the possibility of stopping
here before they return to their
respective homes.
The Chinese, in particular, have
come to IVA to study every phase
of the project. From England and
from the British commonwealth
have come many officials who
take back columinous reports or
housing, on power, on reforesta.
ton, on soil conservation. The Lat.
in-American republics have all
sent representatives at one time
or another and, in some instances,
they have hired iva experts 10
plan similar developments IN the
other Americas.
In the broadest sense, IVA is
part of our foreign policy. It is
part of our strength, part of our
attraction for the rest Of the world
Foreign visitors are impressed ny
our skyscrapers, our industries
our great schools and art centers.
But they are impressed, too by
what government can do in coop.
Grafton with the people Of a region.

 Delays Seen
 Posts Untitled
 In Nouqotuck
BY LARRY SHEPLEY

Naugatuck, Dec. 26- A delay may occur in the filling of two vacancies in the police department ranks.
 Patrolman Richard Kelly, Sr., and Sgt. Anthony Farrar recently left the department and their vac- ancies are to be filled.
 There are several candidates for both berths.
 The January meeting of the Board of Warden and Burgesses is scheduled for next Tuesday, but it is believed that because of the holi- day, no meeting will be held.
 Political leaders are determined to make the appointments as soon as possible. The Borough Board wrangled for five months over the appointment to fill the vacancy caused by the death last February of It. James Cuddy. It finally de- cided not to appoint lieutenant, but instead named two regular policemen.
 Democratic leaders ilf particular are said to be desirous of avoiding a repetition.
