Their Duty Plain

Winning the war was one thing.
Maintaining the peace in conquered ter
ritory is another. With the war won,
maintenance of peace becomes a great
err and greater obligation, fraught with
increasing difficulties, as the days pass.
One reason for this is that the men
who fought the battles are growing
FESTIVE at being kept on the ground.
They are anxious to get home, back to
their families, to their jobs, to the
normal living of their native land.
Although rehabilitation has been
quicker than the military leaders before
VI Day believed possible, the discon-
tent of troops still held in occupied
zones is increasing. The way to speed
the day of their departure for home is
to increase the number of requirements.
This need is not being met, either by
volunteer enlistments or by selective
service.
Draft boards are reported having
great difficulty in getting young men
who have reached the draft age since
the war closed to register. The men re-
Gently released from school and eligible
for foreign service are not responding
to their boards calls in sufficient num-
bers to encourage the hope that the
ranks of battle veterans will soon be
filled with recruits.
The situation has grown so serious
that the military authorities contem-
plate reviewing the draft status of
thousands of men previously classified
as 4-F, many of whom have but minor
deficiencies which would not interfere
with the porformace of occupational
duties. If this is done and the thousands
capable of filling the bill are drafted
there will still be need for other thou
sands, who must come from the bows
at home.
These are urged to consider, as we
have pointed out before, that while the
war IS ended the duration is not. Thew
nave duty to their country and to the
men who bore the brunt of combat. to
come forward and take their proper
places IN the armed forces abroad.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-02-17

When they are all out of the way, not
only in major industries but in the small
plants that have had to suspend pro-
duction from lack of ~materlal, there
should be a great revival of consumer
goods turnout.
From that point on, prolonged lntla-
ton will depend upon industry's ability
to meet the public demand This, OF
course, will be impossible for many
months. In the meantime, with the ire
mendous reservoir of money in their
pockets and the people possessed of a
deep desire to spend it, prices are bound
to skyrocket. A popularity of all sky
rockets is that having reached the top
of their deviation they Invariably fall.
Inevitably the price range, now 60
ing up and still to go higher, will come
downtown in proportion to industry's
capability of supplying the demand. Per-
haps it is as we'll that we cannot fore
see Just what the depression in store
for the nation will be.

Steel Strike Settled

By the time most of us rise tomor.
row morning and others of us are think
ing of turning in, the strike of 100000
employees of U. S. Steel will be over and
arrangements under way for collective
bargaining in other steel mills through
which, in addition to U. S. Steel's force
100000 workers will get back on the
job.
With the steel strike ended, there is
little reason to assume settlement of the
General Motors and other strikes which
have done so much injury to reconver-
sion will not also be settled shortly.

Then, with all the leisure in the
world, you dressed. And if you
wanted to, the hostess drove you
about the plantation in a road cart
behind spanking pair of two-year
olds, themselves seeming always to
sense the gracious spirit of the
place.
Your days just moved along like
that. If you wanted to you could
stroll through the woods to the
shores of Albemarle sound, or you
could just sit around and read. No
body pushed you around.
And nights there were four of the
sweetest unframed Negro voices l
ever heard to make cornfield quar-
tet harmony for you. Not to men,

up everybody into a frenzy over

Talk about your push-button air
planes. Pishtuch! I'll take beaten
biscuits, made the old fashioned
way. The kind the making of which
wakes you up each morning with
the plomp-plomp-plomp of the roll

they used to use-as it beats down
into the dough.
Looks to me like somebody
should be able to figure those
things out as well as they figure a
way to make a plane go by pushing
a button.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-02-17

Mainly, I suppose, because too
many Of us are looking for the
GREATNESS things of life. And be-
cause that's what we're looking for
that's what the gentlemen who
make things will produce for us.
Naturally I'm running around in
circles, getting nowhere. That's the
way you get when you get nostalgia
and start yearning for the things
you know you can't have.
So what do 1 want? Well, I was
talking just yesterday to lady
here in town, a lady who never
wants her name in the newspapers,
and we discussed what must be

South.
1 told her 1 knew just such a
place that still observes just such
days. Or did the last time I was
there.
1t was lovely plantation near
Edeaton, kindred spirit, in way,

the boys call ennui I'd go to this
plantation and stay until the ennui
was shooed away.
You went to bed, reluctantly, late

BY JOHN SKIES

This is a nostalgia item brought
on, no doubt, by at least a modi-
cum of easiness which oozes
through my spirit with the return
to work of the steel boys.
Not that I ever owned any steel
stock. But it just seems to me
that all our postwar plans have
been holding their breaths - if
plans can hold their breatAs - to
see what Steel was going to do
before any amount of relaxation at
all could come about.
Nearly everybody, you know, has
been saying for some four years
what, they were going to do as soor
as the war ended. Listening to
them-and I was one of them my
self-you'd expect to find nothing
short of Utopia, standing here in
the middle of February just few
months after the wars end.
There's not much use telling you
what you and I said we were going
to have by this time. But just to
jog your memory: everything from
real rubber baby pants to new
car that would do everything but
park for you.
First came the automobile strike
and then Steel And then you just
about decided the end of the war
didn't bring the end of your wishes.
But now that steel boys have
settled their differences you may
start off all over again to yearn-
ing.
Me, I've quit wishing for any OF
those material things the beautiful
postwar world was, and probably
is, going to bring to us. I don't
want anything so complicated as q
plane l was reading about the other
day that will fly anywhere you will
just by the push of a button.
A little quiet and peace, peace
and quiet of the olden days will
do me. This, though, is something
I'm afraid even that beautiful
postwar world will not bring us

TOP O. THE MORNING
Clearing Up Antiquities

In the first news reports OF the meet
ing in which the Augusta, Georgia, au-
ditorium plans were approved as a guide
for Wilmington, it was said the hall used
for concerts and similar entertainment
could seat 900 spectators. In Saturday
Star an article dealing with the subject
declared the architects intention is to
provide accommodations for 1,700 in
the "auditorium."
Both are misleading, due in the first
case to the approval of the Augusta plan
in closed meeting with inadequate in
formation later given to the press, and
in the second to the vague use of the
word auditorium.
In the interest of clarity it is to be
understood that the auditorium re-
ferred to is in reality the music hall
and that it is this hall which the archi-
tect plans to have a seating capacity
of LOO.
A communication to this department
from the City Manager, A. C. Nichols,
announces also that it is the intention
to use part of the main floor of the
other hall, which is best defined perhaps
as the arena, for spectator space. This
portion would have sloping floor which
would enable auditors to witness any
events taking place on the level floor,
and in the case of largely attended con-
ventions, wrestling and boxing and such
like, with the action on the stage, the
level floor could be used entirely for
spectators.
This explanation clears up some mat
tiers in doubt. 1t still remains to be seen
if the entire seating capacity will be
sufficient for period of years and the
population increase Wilmington is en-.
titled to expect as time goes on.
There is note of hope in the closing
statement of Mr.. Nichols letter. Says
he: II am sure the committee and the
Council both are completely in sympa
thy with having an auditorium that
will be of ample size, and the matter
will come up for further discussion dur
ing the period of preparation of prelim
mary plans which, of course, will bt
worked out and fully discussed before
the final working drawings of the audi
forum will be begun"
If this is the purpose, the future az
we'll as the present need will be con-
sidered.

1T HAPPENED HERE

That's what Is people pass

woman. seeking to exchange a
dime for two nickels so she
might get some drinks from

Woody obligingly approached
every man passing through the
hall, friend and stranger alike,
but with no success until the
18th person, a county commits
sioner, triumphantly produced
two nickels.
