Wallace Festival

Wllmlngtonians welcome the an
norncement that Wallace IS to resume
it's pre-war custom of holding annual
strawberry festivals. They will be
happy to drive to Wallace again and
share the good time they always had
before the war brought a stop to the
events.
This years festival is scheduled for
May l to II, the time the communities
Strawberries will be at their best. A
great variety of entertainment is to be
provided for every day. Of special
interest will be the selection of a fes-
tlval queen, to be chosen by photograph
by Kay Kyser, from girls in Duplin,
Sampson, Fender and Onslow coun-
ties.
The occasion offers additional evi-
dence that whatever goes on in the rest

Onion Contests

The scarcity of onions disclosed
in an article in the Star recalls the
years the Star-News sponsored gar
den clubs among Wilnington's school
children. 1t was customary to hold
annual contests in the schools with
prizes for the youngsters who produced
the best punches of onions. In one case
a local firm gave hundred chicks and
the ten gardeners who led the field
were given ten each in special recog-
milton of their effort.
The Star-News clubs were merged in
the national movement for war gar
dens, when the conflict drew the United
States in, and so the special projects in
the schools were stopped.
Now it is suggested that an onion
contest might be started with all the
city's children eligible and the seed
firms offering prizes, either of day-old
chicks or seed for next years planting.
By uniting for the project and NAM
ing from their own stores a committee
to sponsor and promote the plan, Will
mington would have no shortage of
onions, come spring, and lot of school
children would be the better off,
whether they were winners or not, by
the experience they would gain.

Captain Register, incidentally,
has been on the water for IS years
and has U. S. licenses for that pc
Rod just to prove it, in case any
body needs proof.
The Atlantic covers the water
front from the shipyard to Josey's
Fertilizer place.
But these water-firemen don't
stop at the mere business of fighting
fires on the waterfront. From the
powerful pumps on their boat they
can shoot a stream Of water as far
up the hill, as they call it, as Fifth
street.
Once, when the boat was tied
up at the foot of Chestnut, they
played stream of water over the
top of the Murchison building.
Furthermore, these men don't
stop at the mere business of put
ting out the fires.
During the war a tanker-it was
the Oleney, Captain Register re-
calls-came in port with jagged
hole in her bottom. 1t was a secret
then, but crewmen of the Oleney
told Captain Register the tanker
had rammed a German submarine
not so far off shore before she put
it at the mouth of the Cape Fear.
One of the compartments of the
Oleney was flooded and the At
lantic pumped water out of the
hold for 10 10 hours before ship
filters, ETC., could go down and
repair the damage.
But this isn't all the extra-cur-
ricular activity the Atlantic S
crew engages in.
In the past several year the
crew has recovered IL bodies OF
drowned persons from the Cape
Fear.

Those of you who live, Or own
property, on Wilmington water
front may go ahead and rest cas-
lily at night. That is, if the spectre
of fire haunts your dreams.
You may do this because Will
mington has and has had for a
good many years passed-an eff
cient waterfront fire department
that never sleeps. Never sleeps,
that is, in the sense that the men
of the department are on call "a
hours per day. And, more i'm
portant, that can ohurn their way
to a fire from their dock at the
foot of Grace street and begin
fighting a blaze in something I'm
der five minutes.
Just so you'll know who were
discussing, the captain of the wa
ter-front department is Charles H.
Register, who's been on that job
for q years. In his crew are
Lieut.. Alonzo Russ and Privates E.
A. Jones and H. F. Waters.
This crew mans the fireboat,
Atlantic. Maybe you'd like to
know something about the At
lantic. She's been in continuous
service since 1912. She was built
by Capt. Jimmy Arnold down at
Southport.
Now, this is pretty old for a
fireboat, and Fire Chief Luddie
Groom, along with the City Faith
ers, are trying to do something
about getting new one. They
have their eyes on one that is down
in Bucksport, S. c.

McKOY CASE HEARING

~ Tie tOlCOr:
The Board of Education in view
OF the reception accorded by the
Eligibility Committee of the North
Carolina High School athletic as
sociation to the representatives OF
the New Hanover high school in the
recent hearing as to the eligibility
of Johnny McKoy, can fully ap.
preciate and wholly sympathize
with the reluctance of Mr.. Hamil-
ton and Coach Brogden in pursu-
ing further matter which has
proved so unpleasant.
Nevertheless, the board feels,
and this is concurred in by MIR.
Hamilton and Coach Brogden. that
it owes to the high school, the
player evolved, Coach Brogden,
Mr.. Hamilton and the public the
duty of exhausting all available
means OF correcting what it be-
lieves to be grave injustice, not
only to the parties involved. but
the school youth of North Caro-
lima.
The board has, therefore. re-
quested the chairman of the North
Carolina High School athletic as.
ISOLATION to call, as we had agreed
to, meeting of the full executive
committee, SO that the matter can
be presented to it.

DAVID Tue KING, BY Gladys s,hmla
DIAL; $50.
A Scant 100 pages from the Old

tious novel. In the field of fiction
dealing with faith or Biblical sub
jects, The Song of Bernadette" is
a feeble attempt and THE Robe a
commonplace one beside Miss
Schr4itt's elaborate retelling Of
familiar story.
The long tale opens with David
tending his father Jesse's sheep
and ends with the death Of the
venerable king, too aged and cold
to be kindled by the lovely Sna'
nammite maid.
We follow the lutist David INTO
Sauls camp.
We see his love for Jonathan;
his marriage to Michal; his faA
into disfavor and 10 years wan
dering; his return with the con,
quering Philistines, accompanied
by two wives; his disagreemen0
with Joab; his love for Ba'A'

which he dispatched Urlah; tAs
death of Absalom; the GROWING

A Difficult Case

Dr.. Wilhelm Furtwaengler, the Ger
man symphony conductor, is not to be
permitted to return to Berlin.
The controversy over Doctor Furt-
Waengler has gone on for some time,
his friends contending he was not iden-
titled with the Nazi party, the United
States Military governments investi-
cations showing that he was, and de-
claring that in conformity with the
four-power agreement for the denazi-
fication of Germany he is not entitled
to return to the podium of the Berlin
Philharmonic orchestra.
Gen. Robert A. Mcclure, director of
the United States information-control
division in Germany, announcing the
decision, says:
TT is indisputable that DR.. Furt-
waengler was prominently identified
with Nazi Germany. By allowing him.
self to become the tool Of the party, he
lent an aura of responsibility to the
circle of men now on trial at Nurem-
berg for crimes against humanity.
ut is inconceivable he should he
allowed to occupy a leading position in
Germany at the time when we are at
tempting to wipe out every trace of
nazism."
In support of his position General
Mcclure notes that Furtwaengler was
appointed state councillor in 1893 bv
herman Goering, and never relinquish-
ed the title, and was vice president of
the Reich Music Chamber, blacklisted
organization, until he quarreled with
the party in 1884.
Meanwhile, the Doctor is under in.

Frances Hand Out

Leon Blum is about TO VlSlC t!le
United States. His departure is set TOR
Wednesday of this week. Before he
comes the French government is re-
ported intending to publish what is
called "yellow book" which will con-
tain documents dealing with money ne
eotiations between Paris and Wash
inqton both before the Breton Woods
agreement was concluded and after
wards.
This obviously indicates that M.
Blum is headed for our shores to seek
additional loans, or gifts, which ap-
pears the settled policy of all nations
in any way associated with the United
States in World War II. The situation
is clearly handled in an article in the
New York Times written by Harold
Calender and wirelessed from Paris.
Says he:
the facts and the record speak
so eloquently that factual summary
cannot avoid carrying the implication
not only that France will be unable to
meet her financial obligations under
the Breton Woods agreement without
American aid but that she may be un-
able for a long time to revive her in
ternal economy. Such, at any rate, is
the opinion of many experts.
There was no reticence on this point
when the assembly ratified the Breton
Woods agreement after debate in
which Rene Pleven, then Minister of
Finance, said that. Frances ability to
follow the charter of Breton Woods
depends on foreign assistance still
greater than that which she may get
from the monetary fund or the Recon-
struction Bank 1.-TWO institutions es-
tablished by the Breton Woods agree
ment). M. Pleven added at that time
that he had negotiated with the British
and American Treasures on the SUBJ
ject before devaluing the French cur
rency to an exchange rate that the
agreement provided, must be accepted
by the authorities of the monetary
fund created by the agreement. Doc
uments covering these negotiations are
expected to be included in the yellow
book"
Mr.. Calender further explains the
French do not expect another large
American loan quickly. What they
want now is an Export Import Bank
loan to tide them over few months in
paying for imports. They are we'll per-,
suaded that the United States will want
to see what kind of regime is to be set
up in the forthcoming elections before
discussing larger American aid.
Having contributed to Frances re-
lease from the German yoke, it is an
American duty to help the nation get
back on it's feet. There is no reason to
doubt that Washington is willing to do
so. But the war allies must recognize
that the Golfers of this country are not
! inexhaustible.

 BIG RUM0R TODAY

WASHINGTON, Feb, 14.-Presi- dents administration seemed in for some more upheavals today as ru- mors spread that Chester Bowlss IS on his way out as Price Adminis- trator.
 Several Congressmer declared that Bowles is through, and from both the House and the Senate came predictions that he no longer will boss the nations price control program. But nothing has been said at the White House and Bow les himself says he doubts the ru- nor. However. Bowles is at the White House now along with sev- eral other top econome policy makers.
 The Bowles rumor came as sur prise to observers who only last Friday were certain that the price control head was due for promo tion. The sudden reversal in his political fortunes, it was said, re- suited from the current government controversy over wages and prices. But at this moment, there is no saying which way the wind will blow.
