Petition For Meat

Five hundred housewives have signed petit
tons to the Office of Price Administration
asking that relief be given in the critical
meat shortage.
There are cattle in New Hanover county
ready for slaughtering say the petitions, but
because of existing restrictions neither own
ers nor professors can do thing about It,
The petitioners therefore ask the OPA Tor
change 'to the end that available beef can
be placed on the local market and pray
"vour organization (the OPA) to immediate
" lift your slaughterng restrictions and mar
keting quotas in New Hanover county and
give the County Farm Demonstration Agent
authority to issue slaughtering permits
The petitions have been forwarded to Rep.
J. Bayard Clark and other members OF the
North Carolina delegation in Congress, IN the
hope that they will present them to the OF
flee of Price Administration and prosecute the
case of the consumers with all diligence.
The women Of Charlotte took the same
method and relief was forthcoming shoruy
There is no sound reason why equally good
results shc,:ld not be obtained for Whining

The case is even more aggravated mere
than in Charlotte. Charlottes population ola
not jump by leaps and bounds at the start
of the war as in Wilmington. Average aliot-
ments of foods would not prove totally In
adequate as they did here because OF the IN
flux of new residents. There was no 300 per
cent increase in Charlotte as there was mere
Nor is Charlotte now supporting as great
percentage of excess population as is Whining
ton.
There. is more reason, therefore, for Will
mington to be given relief. The trouble springs
from the fact that OPA started out by max
ing allotments for this city and county on
the population total shown in the 1910 Federal
Census and still stems from the reluctance
of bureau officials to make their figures COIN
eide with post office or other reliable est
mates of the present population
With enough cattle in this county to relieve
to considerable extent the shortage OF meat,
it is only fair to expect the OPA to authorize
the slaughtering and local marketing thereof

Light Up

Thieving in homes and attacks on women
on the streets at night have passed the sur.
prising and reached the alarming, stage in
Wilmington. 1t has come to pass in this peace
able, ordinarily orderly community that
householders no longer dare leave their front
doors open lest providers enter and make Oft
with valuables or, upon discovery. brighten
the family and assault any member who tries
to intercept them.
Infinitely more serious are the attacks upon
unescorted women after dark. Purse snatch
ing has become nightly occurrence. Not
content with grabbing handbags, the assall-
ants too often beat their victims-Wives and
mothers, frequently going home after neigh
borhood calls or church meetings or, as the
case may be, picture show.
AS the police force is inadequately manned
to stop the terrorism, two means of better
ment are suggested One is better street light.
ing Wilmington has long been insufficiently
lighted It's streets, beyond the bright light
zone, have been so dark for years the wonder
is that the wave of crime did not start soon
er The city could well afford whatever cost
would be involved in adequate street lighting
for the well-being of its people.
Another possible means OF greater safety
for homes is to leave porch lights burning
while the family is out. Thieves thrive on
darkness They are less likely to pry into
houses having illuminated entrances, for fear
OF discovery by passersby or neighbors. than
if no light made them visible.

Another Paper Drive

Never weary in well-doing, the Junior
Chamber of Commerce announces another
waste paper collection for Sunday, July 8.
And because the people OF Wilmington have
cocperated splendidly in other collections it
is safe to assume the total tonnage gathered
from curbs along the citys streets on that
day will equal the best collection in the past.
The people are urged to remember that not
only is it desirable to save magazines, news
papers and cartons. but every scrap OF paper
as well.
It is all needed In fact it is all indispensi.
BILE An endless stream of paper must be
forthcoming for packaging rations, ammunl-

A Diminishing Profession

Doctor Morris Fishben editor OF the Amer.

inadequate supply Of medical students is a
danger to the public health and by 1916
may result in a diminishing medical profess
sion.'' He prepared an address to be delivered
before the Chicago Medical Society," in which
he says:
"At this very moment our government has
not been sufficiently intelligent to recognize
the danger to the public health that is inner

schools of medicine.

the bills submitted by Senator Ellender OF
Louisiana or unless the Selective Service sys.

shall see, beginning in 1916, a diminishing
medical profession at a time when medicine
not only in the United States but in all the
world is calling hungrily for well trained men.

shall require continuously for government
agencies far greater numbers OF physicians
than were ever needed before.
