Don't look now, but one of the
four gentlemen mentioned herein
will not run for president of Tur.
key.
The negative take-off for this
piece may not be as screwey as il
sounds. You see, one of the gentle.
men-if I ever get around to nam
ing him-has been listed in the
rumor mart hereabouts as a ful.
ture candidate for the top office
in the land where the Sultan doesn't
live anymore.
But leave us, as some of the boys
say, get down to cases. There are
four young Turks out at the North
Carolina Shipbuilding company
learning the ways of shipbuilding.
They are all lieutenants, or the
equivalent thereof, in the Turkish
Navy.
The names are-and to simplify
any phonetic troubles you may en-
counter I'll give you first the way
their names would appear in the
Istanbul Daily Clarion and then
show how to pronounce them:
c. Isinal, pronounced Ishnen.
F. Unel, pronounced Oonell.
G. Gultekin, pronounced Gulka-
ken.
H. Tezcan, pronounced Tezjohn.
They're all graduates of the Turk
ish Naval Academy which is To-
Gated in their home town of Istan-
bull. They have been in the United
States for three years; in Whining.
ton since about October. Before
coming here they put in some study
time at Massachusetts Institute Of
Technology, Sun Shipbuilding COM
pany at Chester, Pa; Alabama
Shipbuilding company, Mobile,
Ala; and the Bethlehem Fair
field yard, Baltimore.
Just to give you some more per-
sonal data, they range in age from
"a to 80 and they are unmarried.
Some of the folks around town,
ever anxious to lend helping hand
to political affairs Of other coun-
tries, insist that one of the gentle
men will run for president of Tur-
key. I do not know which one this

States. In fact, the name Ataturk
means Father of the Turks"
Because I didn't remember all
the details I thought you mightn't t,
so 1 jot down here the facts, as
related by the four young gentle.
men, that, among other things,
Ataturk abolished the caliphate;
the pece, pronounced paychay and
meaning those long wells the Turk.
ish women used to wear; and the
fez, the kind of red headpiece the
Shriners in the United States wear
during ceremonials. He also abol-
ished polygany.
Ataturk also set up a modern
system of schools.
The boys tell you that Inonu,
present Turkish premier whose
name is pronounced Innonyu, has
picked up where Ataturk left Oft
and is doing an excellent job.
/ wondered what the boys have
been doing for homecoming in
America. What about Turkish Gig
arets? One showed me a package
of Chesterfields.
That Turkish coffee that is so
thick is brewed from the powdered
bean which. comes from Brazil.
Yeman, and Abyssinia. The Turk
ish pastry they like so well is
baklava.
One of their best dishes is yaprak
dolmasi, which is grape leaves
stuffed with rice and picked in
brine.
The boys do not get any of this
kind OF cooking here.
A last item of information YOU
might care to know about is the
most popular Turkish alcoholic
drink. 1t is Raki, pronounced
rocka. It is made from either
grapes, rose petals, or figs. It is
100 proof. After a neat one of
these you follow up with water.
You do not mix water with Raki
This would cloud the drink, cause
it to turn milky.
l do not know why give YOU all
this information about raki, though
You cannot go into an ABC store
and buy it.
But, then. you might be planning
a trip to Turkey.

is supposed to be because they all,
individually and collectively, deny
any such intentions. In the first
place, they tell you, it is law Of
their country-or maybe it's just
custom-When once a man is COM
missioned in the Turkish Navy he
must remain therein for Is years.
These boys still have a long way
to 60 and anything could happen
during the next Is years.
Incidentally-and it's really sur
prising how much odd information
you can pick up meandering
around and talking to people
Turkey has only one political party.
They tried two, but the idea never
did catch on. OF course, you don't
have to vote for the party's candi-
date. You can vote against him.
I forgot to ask the boys if you
could vote for somebody else.
You've probably heard all you
We wanted to know about the sig
nificant affairs of Turkey so I just
sort of touched on these more i'm
portant matters when I talked with
the boys.
Among other things I did learn,
however, was the fact that in the
waters adjacent to Istanbul-these
waters would be the Marmara Sea
there are 1000 species of fish.
There are, if you'll follow me, the
uskumru, the kilic baligi, the mid
We, and the istridye. It's entirely
too much trouble to name for you
the other 1895 kinds.
Too, don't get excited about those
four I listed. The uskumru is the
mackerel; the kilic baligi is the
swordfish; the midye is the clam;
and the istridye is the oyster. For
your information, if you plan to do
any casting in the Bosporus, baligi
means fish. Imagine going out
baligiing!
The boys thought a lot of Mustafa
Renal Ataturk, the late gentleman
who did so much to bring Turkey
UP in the modern world. Only don't
call him dictator. To the Turks,
according to the boys, Ataturk is
the same to Turkey as George

Greenfield Improvement

Development of Greenfield park in
better keeping with the opportunity is
definitely in prospect, as shown by the
announcement of Ralph Smell, city parks
superintendent, that Robert Sturtevant,
Nashville landscape architect, has been
commissioned by the City Council to
promote the program.
Greenfield has long been among
Wilmington's greater assets. When the
war created manpower and materials
shortages, plans were already in hand
for making the park southeastern North
Cardinals most outstanding beauty
spot. The work necessarily was sus-
pended, save in the nursery and limit
ed patroling.
Under the spur of the Rotary club,
which has adopted Greenfield improve
ment as its main objective for the cur
rent year, it is probable that 1916 will
end with the park more fully develop
ed, and it's beauty more EXCHANGED, than
at any time in the past.
In an interview with Mr.. Smell, yes
terday's Star emphasizes the plan to
carry the landscaping and planting
which have made the western and north
ern sections so attractive to the eastern
and southern lake frontages. It is noted
that dogwood, azalea and camellia
planting will be undertaken on a large
scale. Emphasis naturally will be placed
on azaleas which line the developed
sections and of which the city has such
a bountiful supply.
When this work is completed it will
be the city's duty to surround the lake
with a broad, well paved drive, with
shoulders fully protected from erosion
and careless drivers. The present drive,
constructed as a means of providing
employment for idle men during the
WPA era, throughout most of its length
is both inadequate and unnecessarily
rough. What will be needed in the wears
to come is a highway built for perrna-
nency and wide enough to accommodate
much heavier traffic than has ever
visited the lake, for under the plans
Greenfield park will become the obiec-
tive of thousands of visitors, lust as
the Magnolia Gardens of Charleston
and the Azalea Trail of Mobile have
been for long time.
Then, if the city plants azaleas in
the parkways on Third, Fifth and
Market streets, there seems no good
reason why Wilmington in time should
not hold an Azalea festival which will
within it's more limited scope, be as
great drawing card" as Portland's
Rose festival, which takes thousands
to the city from the surrounding areas
and distant states.
This festival, no less than the
Tournament of Roses at Pasadena, had
no greater beginning than an Azalea
festival might have here.
