Why Seek For The
Answer When 1t
Is At Hand?
Bv Charles d. Rowe

Man is a strange, a most peculiar
animal. He stumbles along for
centuries with doubts. fears and
misgivings. He faces problems that
are appalling, problems that bring
mountains of tears and agony to
the world. Statesmen from all the
far corners of the earth gather IN
a sincere attempt to solve those
problems and bring peace, prosperity
and happiness to stricken world
And apparently much of their Striv-
ing will be in vain AS they dis
cuss treaties of peace, wars break
out in other districts. The wisdom
of the statesmen seems not wise
enough-although we hope with all
our strength that they will succeed.
The folly of all this is so clearly
apparent to one who is wise enough
tC realize that the answer to all
those sickening problems has been
right at hand for nearly 1000 years.
And yet the statesmen (?) of the
world and mankind in general re-
fuse to accept the sO-clearly evident
solution to all those difficulties.

provided for them every month or
so. 1t would take q sanity charac-
ter, indeed, to pass up those privi-
leges.
But why should this caste system
exist? No one is crazy enough to
question the necessity Of officers
and the need in time OF battle for
an officer to have the right to tell
a man to get up and 60, but isn't
that power of life and death over
an enlisted man enough to maintain
respect and discipline between lead
er and follower? Does an officer
have to sleep dry while the soldier
sleeps wet, or does he have to eat
of plates on fresh linen, be served
by a man of his command, and en-
JOY a thousand privileges that are
denied the enlisted man to main
tain his dignity and authority?
I would like Gen. Doolittle and
his board to find out the reason
why 1t is, under the present Army
system, that the enlisted man is
hailed as a hero by noncombatants,

Within the past week Is 900 pairs
OF nylon stockings were put on sale
at the War College, a. citadel of
brass. smack dab in the middle of
Washington, but they weren't avail
able to enlisted men.
That celebrated Army banner
"Omcers Only"--swung in the
breeze outside the door where the
sale was held. The enlisted man,
who wanted his wife or mother or
sweetheart to have pair of the
coveted nylons she had been without
during the war years, could Just
pass by and peddle his papers, resort
10 the black market, or try to stitch
up a pair of nylons on hand loom
editors note: The nylon sale
was stopped by the quartermaster
general when he learned about 1t
from the press.)
This stocking discrimination came
only a day after the announcement
OF the establishment of a civilian
board to investigate the so-called
caste system" in the United States
Army. This board, headed by a man
this country loves and respects, the

SURVEY OF LABOR
USES MADE HERE

H. R. Emory, chairman Of the
city planning board and execu-
tive director of the Wilmington
Housing Authority, told members
of the Wilmington Economic De-
velopment Committee at a meet
ing that 1,500 cards listing various
skills of residents of Wilmington S
various housing projects, have
been collected.
The process of tabuIating the
cards to determine the type of skills
among residents will require some
time, it was said, but it is hoped
that this method of census will
give q comprehensive report on
the types of skill available in this
area.
Through this medium and others
yet to be worked out, prospective
industries will have a basis to de-
termine the potential labor reser-
voir here.
E. L. White is chairman of the
committee. Serving with him are:

CONFUSION OF ISSUES
BEFOGS SITE HEARING
Continued from Page one)

II don't think the section (Marine
site) is desirable and would not be
a good advertisement for Whining
tom, was the opinion of Mrs.
Cause.
Mrs. Wallace West suggested the
location of an auditorium on the
corner of 4th and Princess streets
as more convenient to conventions
as the suggested site is out of the
way.
Robert Dannenbaum, represent
ing the Junior Chamber Of Com
merce, stating that mo city audi.
torium is opened as much as it
is closed" said that his club felt
that a combined building would bet
ter serve the community, and after
discussion had decided to sponsor
the Marine hospital site for city
recreation center.
Asked to speak for the City Plan
ming board, Chairman H. r. Emory
said II feel that further careful
study Of the whole subject, both
as to type Of building to be con-
structed and location is necessary.
The site will affect the design of
the building as will the purpose for
which the building is designed af-
feet choice of location"
Emory suggested the formation Of
a Mayors advisory committee by
representative citizens to make a
further study of the matter.
Mrs. Eric Norden brought out
that a huge stage would be needed
to accommodate the 100-piece North
Carolina Symphony orchestra and
an auditorium of at least 1900
seating capacity. She was support
ed by Mrs. A. R. Willis, president
of the Sorosis club, who questioned
the adequacy of the $500 figure
mentioned earlier by Nichols.
The Rev. Andrew J. Howell ex-
pressed the opinion that 1--WE are
losing much in civic life for the
lack of an auditorium and added
that in his opinion, construction
of the auditorium should come
first and development of the rec
reation program later.
Mrs. Atha Josey revealed that
the Sorosis club had always favor
ed site at Greenfield Lake on
4th street which she described as
adequate for complete civic CEN
ter.
Councilman j. E. L. Wade, who
attended the meeting for the City
Council, with Councilman Ray Pol
lock, stated that if a complete rec
reational center was to be built,
he favored the Marine hospital site.
However, if the purpose and the
will Of the people is to build an
auditorium only, he said, II
favor, personally and as council
man, the 4th and princess SITE"
There was some discussion as to
the renovation, abandonment or al
teration of ITALIAN Hall and short
ly afterward the meeting was ad-
journed.
