projects in Wilmington. Members,
approved by the council are:
Mayor Lane, J. E. L. Wade, Ad-
olson Hewlett, Harry Gardner, H.
R. Emory, Fred Willets, William
Hill, c. Van Leuven, E. L. White,
and c. B. Kornegay.
LeGwin proposed that Princess
street, between 18th and goth be
resurfaced, and on motion from
Wade seconded by Currin it was
ordered that this action be taken
and that all such projects be COM
bined under the FWA to reduce ov-
eran cost to taxpayers.
Currin proposed that the sidewalk
between Dock street and the City
market be widened and that the
white lines around the Kenan Mem
orial fountain at 5th and Market
streets be done away with because
of their tendency to confuse motor
lists.
At this point, Councilman Wade
INTERRUPTED to move that the Po-
lice department take corrective
action to see that drivers pass only
on the left on the four-lane Market
street road. This step was ordered
by the council.
Currin further moved that repairs
on the pipe line between on Front
and Grace streets be postponed
until after Christmas to avoid traf-
fic congestion among holiday
crowds.
Endorsement of the request to
the Federal Bureau of the Census
for an interim count to include the
newly annexed areas came during
the meeting after it was revealed
that the cost of census for a 60. 900
population would approximate ST.
500.
City Manager Nichols was au-
thorized to request the bureau for
interim report.
In answer to question by Wade
as to the status of the projected
City auditorium, Nichols renlied
that he had conferred with the FWA
but that the funds which are to be
made available will have to be re.
ceived before the work can be ad.
vanced. Architects plans will be
approved by the council prior tn
their adoption

FOUNDATION PLEA

1.-The south in the past has faced
many economic problems. During
the war we have made great strides
toward defeating them. If we are
to continue to advance we must
have more and better equipped en-.
gineers," William S. Carmichael,
Jr., comptroller and business man.
ager of the University of North
Carolina said last night in address.
ing the Wilmington Engineers club
at its meeting at the Friendly cafe
terra.
Carmichael asked the local group
to back the growing North Caro-
lima Engineering Foundation, an
endowment organization formed to
promote and develope engineering
in North Carolina as a step in
establishing the state of North
Carolina as an independent unit,
rather than a province OF the mid
west or the east"
The club, after his address, ad-
opted resolution stating the clubs
a greement with the motives Of
the foundation.
eve need an endowment plan
in our state college," Carmichael.
II have visited other land-grant
universities in this country and
it is through endowment plans,
added to state and Federal aid,
and student fees, which have pur-
chased the equipment and paid the
salaries of highly trained instruc-
tors. This system has raised other
universities standings and its ab-
sence in this state has kept US
fro mfurnishing our students with
the best education"
Carmichael said that during the
past two years the State College
has lost three professors to other
Southern schools because it did not
have the funds to pay the salaries
offered by other universities and
colleges
"All three of the professors have
since become president of their re-
spective institutions, Carmichael
pointed out.
IF the North Carolina Engineer
ing Foundation received the help
of engineers in North Carolina there
is no reason why we can't establish
the state college as the M. I. T.
of the SOUTH" the speaker conclud-
ed.

KIWANlANS HEAR
Minis CLEE CLUB

Members of the Wilmington XII
wants Club were given a choral
treat at their luncheon meeting at
the Friendly Cafeteria yesterday
when Miss Sarah Robinson pre-
sented the 1856 New Hanover
High Glee Club in a delightful pro-
gram of spiritual. folk and popular
numbers. The group of mixed
voices was heard to good advan-
tage, although the poor acoustics
of the small clubroom made a
stellar performance almost impos'
sible.
For her opening group, Miss
Robinson chose Mozart's Gloria
and Fred Warnings arrangement
of Coward Christian Soldiers, y
and followed by ''Swing Low,
Sweet Chariot" as arranged by
Kenneth Villas. All three numbers
were well rendered and merited
the generous applause of an ap-
prec1dt1Ve auQlenCe.
The second phase of the Glee
Club program was taken over by
we'll balanced male quartet COM
posed of Bobby Haas, Jimmy
Simon, Donald Brown and Frank
Bradley. Two numbers were their
offering, the first, "The Rosary
by Nevin and Carolina" by Gard
ner, as finale.
Miss Robinson then directed her
talented young singers in the third
and final group of numbers, an
Austrian folk song which they
aptly' called Orchestra Song,''
McFarran's, robin Godfellow'
and ''The Sleigh" by Kountz.
Miss Robinson and her artists
were introduced by Program
