CIVILIAN MEMBERS
HEAR BEACH PLEA

In describing the work Of the
Wilmington Chamber of Commerce
to Civilians last. night, Walter j..
Cartier, secretary of the chamber,
issued strong plea for ceopera-
ton and work in developing the
resort features of this area. -
Terming the local beaches a ma
tural stopping point, midway -
tween New York and Miami, he
asked for an extension of the beach
season to six months, with hotel
facilities open to guests as the first
step in the development of this To-
cality as tourist mecca.
Describing the local strands as
the finest on this part of the coast,
he also pointed out that Green
field Lake when fully developed and
with all its possibilities exploited
would be the outstanding scenic
feature of this section Of the Unit
ed States and could make this city
famous throughout the nation.
To illustrate to members the work
done by the average Chamber or
an average day, Mrs. Cartier de.
scribed typical day as:
First, two young men, one just
out of the service paid visit. tc
discuss business idea that they
had wanted advice about. Soon
Mr.. Cartier predicted, these young
men would be heard from,
Another call for advice concern
ing telephone priorities was made
by an industrial executive. Thel
a couple wishing to purchase
home and settle here. :r
A meeting on opening the coun
tvs airport, discussion Of an air
line already established here, call
for travel information and plea
for housing completed a full seized
ule.
The Chamber here, and others a
well, have been doing many job
not normally undertaken by then
during the war period and hav
benefited by them, Mr.. Carte
said.
Wilmington already has a yer
active industrial section which ha
shown results and will produc
other concrete work in the future
he said.
Wilmington, Mr.. Cartier stated
has sought the role Of an industria
city, with its fine port facilities
but must develop better transports
ton to the interior, he. added.

Twill require the expenditure of larg
lsums of money out of which ttS'g

City Works For It

Tn past years there was apt to be talk about the city profiting at the expense of the taxpayers with regard to the old age tax This was always brought up when the figures of collections and pay ments were revealed. For some few years post now the city has been collecting more in old age tax revenue than it has had to pay to the state. This isn't the city's fault, nor does it represent any oversight on the part of the state.
 The state makes it's levy on the basis of certain statistics and the city collects on the basis of an enumeration which It makes annually. The most recent cen- SuS for the purpose of determining how many were eligible for this tax in Wa terbury was an exceptionally good one. City officials were as one in compliment ing the enumerators on the fine job that they did both in securing the names of those eligible and in making the same eligible to the Tax Collector
 It's true, however, that in Waterbury as in most of the larger communities Of the state the amount collected IS more than that necessary to pay the states bill. However, this doesn't necessarily represent all profits for the city. After all the city spends considerable amount of money annually in collecting this tax No city can collect $131 ,000 without some effort and expense on it's part. What more reasonable than to expect that the city would be in some way recompensed for its work.
 The fact of the matter is that the o.d age tax is applicable to certain group of taxpayers. Whether or not the amount realized from an assessment on thls group is more or less than what the state charges is beside the point. The city can't stop when it gets to the figure asked by the state; it must impose this tax on all those eligible regardless of the amount involved.

Tremendous Trife" in Connecticut

Another fine example of how segment of American industry went to war IS pointed to a recently written history or the war period in New Departure Division of General Motors, which has produced a major share of all the ball bearings used for war purposes, in everything from tanks to precision air navigation devices.
 This biography of an American plant prepared for distribution to employees, also may be viewed as comprehensive story of what all America did. It reads along like a novel, which is something of an effect to obtain in writing about manufacturing procedures. It tells of the ingenuity, effort and the sweat that went into the war job at Bristol, Merlden and Guilford, in Connecticut, and proves, as one of the early chapter headings says, that "the Connecticut Yankee is still alive and kicking"
 They call it "the tale of the tremend- ous trifle" for that is what ball bearings are to almost everyone. But still it takes 189 operations to make one bearing con- monly used in automobiles. Some of the bearing assemblies for fine instruments will hardly more than encircle common pin, and you can put 1000 of the tiniest bearings made at "Endee' in teaspoon. Trifles- well, perhaps so-but the job being done at New Departeure is far from trifling

Food, Farming and Fighting

Senator Wherry has called the atten- tion of the Senate to a communication he received from the Farm Bureau ted- eration of his State of Nebraska which stated that it has been estimated that 1OO,OOO,OO bushels of corn now piled on the ground is in danger of spoilage unless some organized effort was made to save it."
 Representative Carlson of Kansas ap- pealed to the WIPE to give serious con sideration to increase priorities for laoor and material for the production Of addl- tional farm machinery" He backed request from the Trego County, Kansas, War Board, stating that normal goals or food production cannot be met" because of the growing scarcity of experienced farm help, tractor and truck operators. Trego County has furnished about 12 per cent of it's population to the military and naval forces.

Hopes that the state would be able to open it's seashore park at Hammonasset were blighted late last week after all early and hopeful announcement to the effect that the Army might be giving up its control of the area this year. It would have been nice to have Hommonasset returned to us, but it wouldn't be avail able to very many people what with gaso- line still rationed. Those who live in the area could have made use of the park, but for others to have visited would have been more or less cutting into their pre- cious gasoline rations. Hammonasset will still be there after the war is over and we'll enjoy it all the more for the fact that we haven't had the chance to bask on it's extensive sands or bathe in it's cool waters.

RETURN TO COBLENZ
(New York Times)

To the generation that now gets its war news from the papers. the names of the towns on the United States Third Army Front have a familiar ring. For that was the area of American occupation of the Rhineland after the World War of 19l4-18. Another American Army, symbolically also the Third. march, ed into Coblenz on Dec. T. 1918. The last contingent lowered the colors over the historic old fortress of Ehrenbeitstein on Jan. "A, 1923, and headed for home. A few days later the American representative on the Interallied Rhineland High Com missi also was ordered back to Washington, and we withdrew from active participation in settling the aftermath of a war our armies had helped to win. The withdrawal was made few days after passage by the United States Senate of a re- solution urging such action.
 During the last few years the United States has retraced many roads that had been paved with our past mistakes. None has been more symbolic than that to Coblenz. AS we read of our troops assaulting this minor industrial city, forcing a crossing of the Moselle River, buy ing with blood bridgehead across the Rhine at Remagen, 1t is well to remember that if we had not been so quick to wash our hands of Elrope's troubles twenty-three years ago we might not know be engaged In the most brutal war Tn history.
 Those who would counsel similar action again speak with weak voices now. They will not be so timid when peace comes. But this time 1t should be plain that no country can live in a vacuum that what happens on the Rhine or in India
