treatment of venereal diseases. In
this way, the private physician was
able to have available for his use

All Hail The Queen

When Wallace announced intention
to re u m its annual Strawberry
Festivals, which before the war were
among southeastern North Cardinals
most attractive and constructive pro-
motional activities, Wilmingtonians
hailed the decision with genuine good
will. AS plans have progressed and the
magnitude of the undertaking has be-
come generally known, interest has
deepened throughout the entire area.
Wilmington, very naturally, is elated
that one of it's daughters, Miss Char
lotte Russ, high school senior, was
crowned Queen of the Festival, selected
from large group of contestants. It
is a fine honor to the city, the high
school, and particularly to the winner.
So keen has this city's interest be-
come that local civic clubs and other
organizations, including the Star and
the News, are to have floats in the
parade and exhibits in the exhibition
hall. The Festival is Wallace's own,
but Wilmington is intent upon sharing
it's success.
With gasoline available and cars
tor the most part overhauled, it is to
be expected that Wilmington will be
we'll represented daily throughout the
event, which will open tomorrow and

Back In The Earlier Days Johnston
Was The Capital OF Onslow County

There is lot of history implied
in this brief account; and natural
ly many stories and traditions
were told through many years Of
things that occurred during the
catastrophe. More than a half
century ago i heard old residents
repeat them. One story persisted,
that an iron safe which contained
the county's money and valuables
was swept out into the river, and
had never been recovered, although
efforts were made to find it.
(Would one like to bank on what
might be brought up in some fut-
ure dredging operations in New
River.)
Another tale was of a grand
mother, or great grandmother q
believe the name was King), who
as a girl climbed a tree and thus
was saved from the surging wa
ters of the storm:
Now, there is some further real
history about the town of Johnston,
particularly in the old published
proceedings of the Colonial Assem-
bly, of the colony of North Caro-
lima. An item for 1741 covers An
Act for Appointing and Laying

Air Traffic Outlook

It is confidently forecast that by the
end of 1947 air carriers Will be IN
position to accommodate greater pas.
senger traffic than was handled by al
railroads in the country in 1941, with
the single exception of commuter rail
traffic.
Sounds like an exaggeration, and of
course it may prove to be just that.
It depends on the delivery to operating
companies of all airliners now order
ed
The figures run like this. All told
more than 600 airliners are due to be
added to commercial lines before 1947
passes. The present domestic fleet
totals 47O. The new planes will have
seating capacity for 10000 passengers,
four times greater than that of all
airlines in use at the end of 1916. Be-
cause of their speed they can make
frequent trips even between terminals
far apart. If bookings are at full seat
ing. capacity and enough flights are
made it would appear that the prophesy
can be fulfilled.
Where are the passengers to come
from? From everywhere. 1t is a
strange phenominon that every ex-
pansion of the country's travel facili-
ties has found patrons waiting at all
stations. An example is the patron
age of multiplying communication lines
in New York City.
When the first elevated road was
built the people wondered what would
become of cable car patronage Yet
with the Third, Sixth and Ninth Ave-
nue. FL lines in full operation, there
seemed to be just as many passengers
on street cars.
The same was true when the first
subway was constructed. Only after
more than a generation of united op-
Grafton are the elevated lines disap-
pearing, and this is chiefly due to the
substitution of bus lines and the use
of automobiles, which were still un-
known when the subway came.
In the light of past experience it
would appear that however greatly the
air fleet is increased it will not lack
for customers.
