Editorial Comment
REVIEWING PROGRAM

In review of the program which ran on
its editorial page for several years before
the war, the Wilmington Morning Star points
out that many of the objects aimed at in
that program have been achieved.
The paving of the River Road, between the
Brunswick River Bridge and Southport, one
OF the objects in the program, is still to
come. Our neighbor up the Cape Fear River
points regretfully to this fact
The paving of this road will shorten tho
distance between Wilmington n Southport
by about seven miles, The project will pass
through good farming section, thickly set
tied, for the most part, by small home own
ers. The route is the most scenic in Brunswick
county with potentialities for bringing many
tourists and new home owners to Brunswick
This paper hope- that this item on the Star
News program will soon be on its way te
ulfillment-Southpor State Pilot.

There are three major elements
and several minor elements which
which influence the growth OF
plants in the soil. Nitrogen, pot
ash and PHOSPHORUS are the major
elements, and among the minor
elements are copper, boron, iron,
soluble silician and silver. Gal
phin says it is an absence OF soce
of the minor elements, sometimes
in very small quantities, which not
only robs the human body of GER
tain food values but also stunts the
growth of plants.

his fish were constantly dying
Upon examination of the water ir

Recall Judge Long
Says Rev. Shorter

A demand for the recall of
Judge William G. Long of the
Juvenile court was voiced yester-
day as the aftermath of revela-
tons of brutality and immortality
in King County jail's juvenile
ward made during the inquest
into the death of John Emberg.
16.
THE blood of the boy, John
Emberg, murdered in the county
jail by other juvenile delinquents
after being cruelty torturd is
upon the heads of all citizens of
King County, says the Rev. Mr..
Shorter. "In a sense that is true.
but how are ordinary citizens TO
know what is going on? The
heavier responsibility is upon the
officials in charge and upon the
judge of the juvenile court, Judge
Long. He should be recalled and
other officials should be dis
missed"
"The least he could have done
was to have told the public about
the situation" he said. "If there
is one thing Seattle will respond
to it's an appeal on behalf of its
youth. Why didn't Judge Long
appeal TO us? If he couldn't rec
tify the situation through official
channels he could have appealed
to the public for help"
1T is no good to correct the
system if we let the same people
who have let these evils exist
continue in charge" he main
tanned.
I'VE recall several years ago
special committee from the state
legislature was appointed to in
vestigate the whole setup, but
nothing came of it. Let us hope
this time the state legislature
will leave the political white-wash
bucket at home"
