Holy Family Hospital

The plan to increase Southeastern
North Cardinals hospital facilities by
building another Holy Family
hospital-to be operated by Catholic
sisterhood has received the endorse
ment of Wilmington physicians and
practically all civic and many other
organizations.
The time has now come to fortify
that endorsement in practical way.
The time has arrived for the pub
lie, which will be the chief beneficiary,
to contribute, according to each in
dividuaPs resources, toward it's con-
struction.
A special gifts committee is to start
it's solicitations tomorrow. When it
has completed it's task other groups
will take up the campaign. All resi-
dents will be given an opportunity to
bring success to the undertaking.
The hospital, as planned, will have
IA hundred beds. It's estimated cost
will be $750,000. The public is urged
to contribute 100000 of this total.
Once the plant is finished, sixteen
members of the sisterhood, all trained
nurses, will take over with the aid of
other registered nurses, and a medical
staff chosen from the city's physicians
and surgeons will be in attendance.
The hospital will be equipped with
the most modern appliances and con-
veniences for treating patients. The
sisters who will be in charge estimate
that up to IS per cent of these will be
charity cases.
On the strength of records over the
country, Holy Family is destined to
play an important role in this areas
hospital accommodations. Hospitals
operated by Catholic sisterhoods are
eminently successful both from the
medical and the patient viewpoint.
Wilmington is fortunate to be chosen
as site for one of the group to be
established in North Carolina.

Marshall To China

General George c. Marshall who,
since his retirement as Chief of Staff,
has been President Truman's personal
envoy to China, is on his way back to
Chungking after prolonged confer
ences in Washington.
General Marshall succeeded during
his first visit to China in bringing the
nationalist and the communists to-
gether in an agreement which con-
templated peace, but which has not met
with marked success. Indeed, he had
no sooner turned his back on the Orient
than the two factions were quarreling
again, with reports reaching this coun-
try OF resumed fighting and, of even
deeper import, of Russian activities in
the troubled areas of Manchuria which
have not eased the situation.
So General Marshall is going back
to see what he can see and what he can
DO to restore order. His ACCOMPLISH
ment was so great when he first visited
China it is reasonable to believe that
ne will DO at least as we'll this time and
possibly dispel the clouds lowering over
the China area of unrest.
Certainly he is capable of doing as
much and probably more than any
other man President Truman might
have selected in his stead.
The question that seems all but I'M
answerable is if anything can be done
to establish peace there on a permanent
basis, without giving the Russians adj
vantages to which they are not en-
titled.

A Beautiful Legend

Throughout the Christian world, to-
day-Palm Sunday-is observed in
celebration of Christ's triumphal entry
into Jerusalem, when his pathway was
strewn with palm leaves and the popu-
lace followed him singing hozannahs.
Although it is not generally consid-
cred an integral part of Holy Week, it
was clearing the starting point of
events to follow in the short span of
eight days in fulfillment of prophecy
which changed the. destiny of man
kind. 1t had direct bearing on the
crucffixion and resurrection- mortal
death and spiritual eternity.
This, by way of introduction to a
legend that has just come to our at
tention concerning the dogwood tree,
which has bloomed hereabouts so lux
uriently in recent weeks. At the time
Of the crucifixion, says the legend, the
dogwood' was as large as the oak and
other of the mightier forest trees. So
firm and strong was it's wood that it
was chosen for the cross. To be thus
used distressed the tree and Christ,
sensing this, said to it:
Because of your regret and pity for
My suffering, never again shall the
dogwood tree grow large enough to be
used as a cross. Henceforth it shall
be slender and bent and twisted and
it's blossoms shall be in the form of a
cross two long and two short petals.
And in the center of the outer edge of
each petal there will be nail prints,
brown with rust and strained with red,
and in the center of the flower will be
4 crown of thorns, and all who see it
will remember"

Some of the men who learned
the lessons Of the Air Transport
Command during the war are help
ing to expand air freight in tAe
postwar period. Both established
lines and newly formed air-freight
companies are bent on making the
most of sky hauling in every quar-
ter Of the globe.
One broad field for the cargo
flyers efforts lies in bringing out
the mineral and plant wealth from
the earth's least accessible regions
the tropical wildernesses and
bleak, sub-aretic expenses which
always have defied travel at sur
face level. Such unframed areas are
found in the vast mountain forests
of New Guinea, in Canada's wilds,
in the Amazon basin, in Siberia,
and in many parts of darkest
Africa and southeastern Asia, notes
the National Geographic Society.
Before World War II, the chal-
lenge Of these areas was being met
to small degree by air transport.
Gold was most often the cargo that
made air pioneering of these for
bidding lands worth while.
An enormously rich gold deposit,
discovered en- Eide Creek in the
thickly forested Morobe Mountains
of New Guinea in 1926, started a
goldrush that only the airplane

miles over the matted mountain
