Yesterday evening at 5 o'clock
the beauty contest was held follow
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-06-02

had its gala opening with a fashion
show composed of models from the
girls of the city. Most of the girls
modelled for Mrs. Reynolds on the
beach, but Miss Katherine Meier
and yours truly modelled for the
Beuliah Meier shop. Play clothes
and bathing suits were the main
outfits. Jan Harvell really did look
good in a two-piece yellow wool
bathing suit. And Pat Morton was
mighty appealing in a three-piece
blue play suit. The girls modelled
to the splendid accompaniment of
Bill Grassick and his band. And
they really were swell. The rhumba
numbers brought forth the more
skillful dancers, while the hep
tunes really gave the jitterbugs a
chance to shine. Many lovely eve
ming gowns were shown, one of the
most outstanding being a yellow,
one-strap dress trimmed with pur-
pie flowers on the bodice and
throughout the skirt. This was worn
by Miss Meier.
Our heartiest congratulations to
two who this past weekend were
joined together as man and wife
Donald Edmondson and Frances
Thompson. May they both have the
very best life has to offer. If two
people ever deserved the best in
everything, these two do. The we'd
ding was n of beauty and SIM
plicity, and was. an outstanding So
cial event of the month.
Last night marked the beginning
of the social life at Wrightsville
Beach with the opening of the Surf
club. A supper party was held
which began at 7 o'clock, featuring
the music of Billy Melton and his
orchestra. Throughout the winter
the club has been renovated and
enlarged so as to accommodate more
people. The Carolina Yacht club al
So opened its doors yesterday
morning for the 94th season. There
was no formal opening, but guests
dropped in during the day.
Corrine Wilkinson has gone to
Norfolk to visit her cousins, and
will rot return to the city until next
week. With the coming summer,
many people leave to go to camps
of their choice, to visit relatives,
or maybe to the. nearby beaches.
But those Of us who must stay here
hope they'll all have lots o. fun,
but come back soon, cause you sho'
do miss somebody when they go
away for even a veryshortWhile.
This past Saturday was the last
day you could turn in your caps
and gowns, sc seniors, if you still
have yours, you'd better hurry and
get them in. I hope all of you had
your pictures made as you gradu-
ated for your parents and posterity
to see. And maybe for someone to
keep who has gone to serve his
time in the armed forces of his
country.
Well, there just isn't anything
else for now, So I'll close up shop
and hope to e you next time.
Until then, So long.

On the Capitals Cuff By ALDEN TODD
 Federated Press
STORM AHEAD!

An optimistic report from the Civilian Production Administration says that July output of basic in- dustrial materials was just about at capacity levels. CPA Chief John D. Small said ''the time is nearing when industry will again be able to draw on full pipelines"
 This government jargon means that manufacturing plants are putting out almost as much finished goods as they can with present equipment. Recon version from war economy IS already finished in many lines and manufac- turers are making stuff for the con sumer market, which was not fully satisfied during war years.
 In July these items were made in greater quantity than the monthly rate before the war: trucks, tires, washing machines, radios, vacuum cleaners, gas ranges, elecric ranges and electric irons. Other items such as passenger cars, refrigeratOrs and sewing machines, CPA says, are coming up fast.
 Civilian employment reached new high of over 58 million in july, four million above the wartime high a year ago. Unemployment, CPA said, was only 2.3 million.
 DEPRESSION?
 But despite present high employ ment and production of plenty, the American people generally think an other depression is in the ohing. The Gallup poll reports 6O8o of the Ameri- can public believe depression is due within 10 years, and most of them judge the collapse is only five years away. Only 209o don't see bust ir 10 years, and the rest, Gallup says have no opinion.
 You can take Gallup polls or leave them alone - but almost everywhere you get the same gen. eral feeling that the present rate of hiring and buying is too good to last. There is sound reasoning behind it, too, and facts to bear ii out.
 Manufacturers will turn out goods for a profit as long as people vii buy them, and the public will buy fl it has the money. Today, the public is losing that money because inha- tion prices are taking wages more quickly than before for absolute neces- sites, and people are cutting deep into their savings.
 In June the Federal Reserve board reported 877 of the nations savings were in the hands of only 3O% of the people. Since January the trend has been for low-incOme families to cash in their war bonds. Series E (which is the bond most workers hold) has been redeemed in greater proportion than it has been sold for six months now.

 The Veterans Administration is in complete quandary on what to do with an American soldier who has written from Mexico City for financial aid under the CI Bill of Rights. This soldier, former wrestler, wants to become bull fighter and claims his rights under the educational provisions. He wants $500 for bulI-fighting equip ment including $2OO for a green and gold costume, $6O for hat and $lOO for two swords.
