BY JOHN SKIES

My friend j. E. King handed me
4 ching pao yesterday.
This was not, as some of you
might rush to infer, the same as
handing me Mickey Finn, OF
passing on to me the old heave-ho,
as some Of the boys call the pitch.
out.
I found the ching pao quite in
teresting. if indecipherable, al
though Mr.. King handled it fami-
liarly and gave me no little in
formation from it. You've no doubt
handled a ching pao yourself be-
cause your friends, what with the
war and all, are probably just as
Observation-Disclosures as Mr.. King.
You see, the ching pao is Chin
csc newspaper. This I would never
have known if Mr.. King hadn't told
me. For all the world, it looks like
one Of these wrappers that you take
from around a large patent medi-
cine bottle, in case you're familiar
with patent medicine bottles.
The ching pao is printed on a
sleazy-quality paper of a sort of
dusty pink hue. The characters, of
course, are strictly Chinese and are
as clear to me as Egyptian hero
glyphics. 1t goes without saying
that hieroglyphics are as clear to
me as mud.
The particular ching pao Mr..
King passed along to me to scan
was what we here in America
would call an extra. 1t was printed
when the Japs surrendered. You
may be interested, as I was, in
what the headlines said, or say.
U'm taking Mr.. Kings word for
this.)
In about three blocks, or char
acters, each hardly bigger than one
of the largest letters you see on
today's Star front page, the Chin
csc editor got all of the following
in:
1.-THE japanese People Tell China,
England, the United States, and
Russia That They Surrender
was interested in how the Chin
csc editor could say so much in so
few of the characters. Along with
the spoken thought that 1 didn't

The Hobby Show

Wilmingtonians, together with other
Americans everywhere, have chosen
some means of escape" from the natu-
raj anxiety of the war years, when the
stark uncompromising reality of death
darkened so much of the world, and the
sad middle thus far made of restoring
peace and security. For some, "escape'
has come by brushing up on the classics
OF literature and, when opportunity Of
fered, of music. Others find it at the
bridge table periodically. Many more
have taken to hobbies, with extraordi-
nary results.
The Hobby Show now under way at
the Second and Orange USO center
under JOINT sponsorship of the Recrea-
ton department and the Junior Sorosis
shows how successful exhibitors have
been IN finding relief from the carking
cares of daily life in these strenuous and
often depressing times.
"A visit to the show is we'll worth
anybody's time. In fact all persons who
40 not attend are missing something
they ought to see.
Large attendance ought to result
in the creation of many lobbyists who
will be the happier for their new under
taklngs. BY another year Wilmington's
Hobby Show ought to be twice as at
tractlve and interesting as this one
fine as it is.
The group that decorated the use
hall and arranged the exhibits have
created work of art in itself.

On A Spot

oPA's announcement that the price
OF meat may have to rise to offset
the increase in pay of packing house
workers is in the pattern of initiation
which the OPA says must not be per-
mltted to get out of hand. It is logical
that when the producers of any line of
consumer goods is saddled with heavier
payrolls they must raise the price of
their products or ultimate go bankrupt.
With the OPA still yammering about
holding the line" it is ironical that it
should have to admit it cannot do the
LOB.

A SHELTER IN SINA

We had been travelling one
Summer morning over the sands
of Sinai. The suns rays were like
blows upon our body. The hot
winds parched our whole being.
Camels and men showed signs Of
suffering.
Then we came to a great over
hanging rock, and beneath its pro.
lection found shade and shelter
and comparative GOODNESS. Even
the memory Of that blissful rest
is refreshing.
Anew we learned the meaning OF
the true-to-the land Scripture,
"the sahdow Of a great rock in a
weary land" None of the occasion
al trees on Sinai could give pro.
lection from the torrid sun; only
the great rock, retaining the cool
ness of the night, could suffice.
On the journey Of life fortunate
are the travellers who have found
the Lord to be "the shadow Of a
great rock adequate and eter-
nal.
In Thee, our Father, our souls
have found rest and safety and
sweet assurance; and we return ia
Thee thanks. Amen.

Guard Our Bridges

Sundays accident to the Cooper
river bridge at Charleston inevitably
draws attention to the situation motor
lists bound for Wilmington would be
placed in if similar accident happened
+ to the Cape Fear or the Northeast river
bridges here.
: From either west or north (the latter
on Highway No. y they would have
I to detour by way Of Elizabethtown,
thence to Wards Corner and Castle
: Hayne. Travellers southbound fr m
Richmond, who are usually routed via
Wilson and Goldsboro, or others coming
: in on Highway II would be all right,
but there is a heavy burden of traffic
to and from Asheville by way of Char
lotte, and every car or truck so destin-
ed would have to use the detour.
Most of the road thus indicated is
paved, but the stretch from Kelly to
Atkinson is dirt surface and also there
is a ferry over the South river. Motor
lists would be put to great inconven-
fence if it were ever necessary to resort
to this route.
Naturally, then as Wilmington COM
merce grows and more and more ships
make this port, authorities will be the
more careful concerning mooring and
docking. A ship drifting in either river
because Of storm, tide or other cause
could create as much havoc and az
great interruption In traffic as al
Charleston.

Eccles Rings The Bell

Mariner S. Eccles, chairman of the
Federal Reserve Board, has told the
House Banking Committee that wage
increases can be justified only when
they can be met out of increased pro-
ductivity and profits without increas-
ing prices"
Sound as this position is, try to get
It across to labor leaders.
It is characteristic of the union labor
leadership that whatever effect there
may be on prices through wage in
creases secured by strikes, they don't
give hang what happens to an infinite
ly greater number of American workers
who have no affiliation with unions
than the entire union membership, the
so-called white collar employees who are
feeling the effects of the initiation labor
has already saddled upon them. Labor
is not concerned with productivity al
all, and with profits only insofar as il
may share in them.
The government estimates the cost
of living has risen 80 per cent above
prewar levels. The new wage-price
policy of the government is destined
to add another 10 per cent to this. Add
ing to this 40 per cent the increase If

sible?
Instead of the new wage-price policy,
based on increased pay for union labor,
the government could better devote It's
efforts to legislation to place labor
under reasonable controls and provide
adequate punishment for the leaders
who provoke strikes.

billion without hattin' an eye, for

drove UP yet, so what the heck.
What is an extra three tciphers,
more or less.
SO with your congressman
coming home, it is now a good
time to quiz the gent. Maybe he
can tell you what is Al billion.
But if he can't, and he gets con-
fused or red in the face, you can
tell him the answer. l dug up

says. If you have Al billion bucks
in one dollar bills and you lay
'em end to end, they would go

further with my slip-stick, these
142 separate round-the-world
