RhineLand Unrest Paved
Wav For World War II

beautiful spots. It's Towering or
chards, green vineyards, and an
cient castles; it's great forest, lik,
ened to cathedrals in which sun
filtered through with the effect Of
stained glass windows; the gabled
roofs, spires and turrets of its or
nate Rhenish architecture have long
been described in the most roman
tic and sentimental terms.
During the first World War, the
Rhineland, like the rest Of Ger
many, escaped the devastation that
left its mark on the face of other
nations. Today, correspondents tell
of extensive bomb and shell de-
struction there. Yet, like freak tor
nadoes, the modern weapons OF
World War II have played queer
tricks on the countryside, leaving
some towns virtually unscathed,
while bringing others to the ground.
Reduced to ruins are the three
big cities of Cologne (Koln), Ko-
blenz and Mainz, along the west
bank of the Rhine, which after
World War l were administrative
headquarters for Allied armies OF
occupation. British-held Cologne in
the north, American Koblenz in the
center, and French Mainz in the
south were bridgeheads of the three
zones for which occupation dates
were set at five, ten, and fifteen
years respectively. AS it turned out
the American troops were with
drawn in 1923, and all the Allied
occupation forces had left by the
end of 1890, five years before the
specified end of the period.
In the present Allied occupation
of Germany, the British have been
assigned to the northern half of the
Rhineland area, with Cologne again
in their hands. The French hold the
southern portion, including both Ko-
blenz and Mainz, as well as the
Saar District. The Americans are
not represented west of the Rhine;
their zone stretches to the east and
southeast.
From the flat and open country
of the northern tip Of the triangle,
dipping deep into Netherlands ter
ritory, the Rhineland rises toward
the south into billy region where
SUBMITS reach above 1000 feet. Hill
ranges in the central and southern
section stretch diagonally like fling
ers pointing the way for traffic to
and from the Rhine. Followed by
big and little rivers, railroads, and
highways, their valleys became the
bloody thoroughfares along which
American troops fought toward con-

Area Disputed By Man
Since Before Days Of Cae-

Y THE RHINELAND

This is the fifth OF a series o.
ten articles under the general title
orphan Areas of Europe. The
stories have been prepared by the
National Geographic Society TOR the
wilmington star-News to inform
readers about disputed areas IN
Europe whose forms of government
and economic relations with neigh
boring countries may have to be
determined by negotiations among
the Allied Powers. An article Will

day.
Along the banks Of the historic
Rhine is a land smiled on by Ma
ture and disputed by man since pc
fore the days of Caesar and Charle'
magne.
During the troubled period be-
tween the two great wars OF mod
ern times, the Rhineland was
among the more serious OF Eur
ones dynamite-laden problems. Its
economic and political issues dis
turbed international relations, ana
brought about emergency financial
conferences and plans by the
worlds leading bankers and econo-
nnists. Eventually. its unrest and
dissatisfactions helped pave the
wav for the Nazi rise to power.
When Hitler's troops marched m
Ia the Rhineland in 1896, in def
ance of the Versailles Treaty, their
tranping feet raised the first dust

Biz Structure Scheduled
For New Home OF Sellers.
Local I urniiure Dealers

The Sellers Furniture company,
offering complete home furnish
ings and electrical appliances, will
soon open a large new store at SIS
North 4th street in the location of
the old Grocerteria No. 3, ]. K.
Sellers, manager, announced to-
day.
This morning discussions with
contra ctors and architects were
underway and a complete remod.
cling Of the present two-story
brick building should be complete
by the first of the year. The Win
dow display plans include indirect
lighting and a very attractive lay
out planned by Sellers after tour
of inspection of various large furni-
ture stores in other sections.
Among the excellent lines for
which Sellers has the franchise in
this territory are individual home
deep freeze units, Ironrite Ironers
and the Lear Radio and Wire Re-
corders.
The advantages of the Deep
Freeze units in this section of the
country where fish and game may
be caught during the season and
preserved for excellent eating
throughout the year, cannot be ov-
err emphasized. They are also es-
pecially suitable for farmers and
food producers in this area.
Ironrite Ironers do professional
job on all varieties Of regular
laundry clothing and household
linens, also enabling the capable
operator to press pants and wo-
mems suits and coats. In order to
hold the franchise on this labor
saving device, Sellers will send op-
orators to a special school for the
efficient operation of these ma
chimes who will go into the homes
of purchasers and guarantee to
them expert training in the meth
DDS of operation.

peared to voice objections to the
locating of a commercial center
in the section which is now ex-
clusively residential.
The delegates said it would be
detrimental to the particular area
to put q center there when there
was plenty Of business frontage
not far from the lacation under
discussion.
The city board will not have
jurisdiction over the Oleander ter
ritory until after Jan. ! when that
area will be taken into the city
limits, but Cameron asked for the
planners reaction to his proposal
before proceeding further with it.

f WASHINGTON = A group of Al tcona, Pa, citizens knew that there were lots of jobs available, but re- turning ex-service men didn't seem to think so. The citizens decided to investigate and learned that scat tered jobs didn't necessarily mean that veterans could find them cas- .ly.
 The business men, professional men, teachers and so on Of this city in Pennsylvania got tired of being dragged around by the bull So they managed to ease around to the front part and get hold of the horns. They formed committee of 50. The whole bunch took course in coun- selling given by instructors from the Penn State University. Then they got organized and went to work ccunseling ex-service men return ling to Altoona and getting the right kind of jobs for them They divided into shifts and would talk With any veteran who wanted to talk, and that's the way they found they could really help veteran.
 The plan is now known as the AL tcona plan. I'm told some other cities are following the scheme or a similar one I hope so. There should be no simpler way to handle employment for the returning vet than by local help. This has been recognized by the American Legion in its veterans employment pro- gram. This is different from the Legion's program for maximum em- ployment I mentioned in my last article.
 Tke Legion says employment of everyone must be the goal. But we must find, first of all" the Le- glcn goes on,. employment for our best hands, our best brains--our returning veterans. These veterans are Americas most alert, best trained men. The term selective ser- vice was no accident. Only the fittest survived that rigorous screen ing.
 These are the veterans, the cream of Americas human resour- ccs. They are the men we must

employ first-not because of duty net out of sentiment-but because we cannot do without their courage skill and initiative
 Makes you feel kind of good tc read that And it doesn't seem te be just talk, since the American Le- zion follows 1t with carefully ar- ranged plan, and has set out to get the plan into effect
 Apparently many of our larger business and professional groups have either made some plans or arc planning to make some plans to han de their share of post war employ ment of veterans. I read an article a while back which told how Ford Bethlehem Steel, Higgins Industries Glenn L. Martin Go. and General motors have a procedure like this
 Hire every veteran who asks for a job, regardless of mental or physi- cal handicaps. Inquire into the am bitions and capabilities of each, and place him where he can best demon strate his ability to earn the highest possible wage. In the eyes of the experts, there are no disabled men, and no jobs are created for the han dicapped All are fitted into worth while jobs"
 It's impossible to get my finger on all of the studies and plans indus tries are making. If I could, wouldn't have time to study them or space to write about them.
 But one other I know about is that of the American Hotel Association I had never taken time to realize that electricians, butchers, carpen- ters, plumbers, engineers are em. ployed by hotels in good numbers But hotels use employees with those skills as well as cashiers, room clerks, cooks, housekeepers, stew ards, etc
 The hotel association probed the problem. of fitting veterans into ho- tel jobs It came up with con- prehensive book which shows a hote manager exactly how to make jot analysis in his own hotel and how to train both able-bodied and dis abled men for hotel positions.
