Kreisler Stricken

Thousands of Americans who have
been ~spellbound by Fritz Kreisler's play
ing throughout the many years of his
career are earnestly hoping that he
may recover from the emergency op-
GRAFTON necessitated by a ruptured ap-
pendix and accompanying peritonitis,
despite his advanced age.
Although he has played but little
since his grievous accident in New York
when he was run down by a truck, the
occasional performances he has given
have afforded music lovers deep and
satisfying pleasure, especially as some
of them have been broadcast, which
enabled him to reach much larger audi
ences than formerly.
His recovery then was little less
than miraculous. His admirers are
praying a similar miracle may take
PLACE now.

Two-Year College Course

One significant point of the proposal
to establish one of the two chief
branches of the University of North
Carolina at Wilmington is that it offers
a starting point for a permanent junior
college.
The present plan is to provide two
years Of college work for G.I.'s who will
be unable to enter the university at
Chapel Hill or State College at Raleigh
or, for that matter, any other of the
principal schools of higher learning be-
cause of the heavy enrolment and I'M
satisfactory housing conditions, but adj
mission is not to be denied civilian
pupils.
Some thousand or more veterans
and High school graduates thus could
go on with their studies at New Han
over High school, which has the neces-
sary capacity, and after the two-year
period there is good reason to think
the rush for entry into the country's
universities may have subsidized.
In this event the groundwork will
have been completed for the creation
of the long-needed junior college here
for the southeastern section of the
state.
While definite action on the plan to
establish chief branches of N. C. u.
at Wilmington and Asheville and four
lesser branches at strategic points in
the state has still to be taken, the need
for them all is so apparent and Will
mington is so we'll situated to accom-
modate a large number of university
pupils there would seem to be no rea-
son to doubt that the plan will be put
into effect.
Educational circles as we'll as pros
pective pupils will closely watch the
proceedings in the forthcoming con-
ference when New Hanover High school
floor plans and other facilities will be
under the microscope, so to speak, and
a favorable decision probably will be
reached.

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

1t. Col. Richmond H. Skinner of
Chestnut Hill, Mass, past presi-
dent of the American Contract
Bridge League, dropped into my
office in civilian clothes. He is
busy starting a new charter air
line business specializing in news
paper photography. Dick present
ed me with today's hand, in which
there is an interesting duplicate
bridge problem.
When the opening spade lead
held the trick, East cashed the
ace of hearts and North's king
dropped. East continued with the
heart queen which North trumped.
Declarer realized of course that
South had taken him to five dia-
monds as a sacrifice against four
hearts.
He cashed the king of diamonds,
and had to decide whether to play
West for three diamonds to the
queen, Or to play the diamond
suit tWo-two. The colonel cor
rectly reasoned that if East held
only one diamond, four hearts
could have been made, while if
the diamonds were two-two, four
hearts could have been defeated.
To go down me trick at five dia-
monds against a makeable four
heart contract would not be a bad
score. Therefore, by cashing his
high diamonds, the colonel pro-
tected himself against a bad score
in duplicate in case East and
West could not have made their
contract.
Of course the diamond suit broke
two-two, which gave him six dia-
mond and five club tricks for his
contract.

Playing The Wrong Game

First the government, that is to
say, President Truman, permits the ma
Jor labor unions to win their wage con-
troversies, from the General Motors
strike to the marine unions threat to
strike, in order that the workers, who
had been receiving unprecedented wages
throughout the war, should continue to
have approximately the same take
home pay as when war pay schedules
prevailed. Then the government. that
is to say again Mr.. Truman, okehs a
variety of price increases, from heavy
machinery to butter, with the result
that living costs are rapidly rising and
labor unions are already preparing to
make new demands for higher wages
because it costs more to meet house
hold expenses. There is nothing in the
records to indicate these new demands
will not be granted.
1t is the most vicious economic
circle this country has ever faced.
There are some prophets who claim
That MIR. Truman is playing an astute
political game. They see him influence

tons to the extent that he will be the
leader of a strong majority. With a
majority in Congress behind him they
are confident that reelection to the
presidency will fall to his lot in 1913.

A BIRTHDAY PARTY
By WILLIAM T.. ELLIS

Uncle Will was ninety years old
recently, and the family gave him
a birthday party in a Philadelphia
hotel. There were sixty of his de-
scendants a d relatives present;
for he has had five children, fiji
teen grandchildren and twenty
great-grandchildren.
He is a retired Methodist minis
ter, born and raised to manhood
in Pittsburgh, but living most Of
his life in and about Philadelphia.
His churches have been small, but
his ministry has been large. His
face itself is a sermon, with it's
ev~er-present sanity smile. Every
body who knows him feels that he
walks with God.
His three life interests are his
family, his preaching and his fish
ing trips. He is as ardent a fisher
man as St. Peter, and I can pic
ture him in heaven getting off in
a corner with the Fisherman
Apostle, to swap yarns about the
relative merits of Delaware Bay
and the Lake Of Galilee.
That family party was proof of
Uncle Wills success. We have new
er traced family line back of

ais leg at the Battle of German
town. But We I assured that it
will go on in overwhelming Ameri-
can and Christian influence. HE

Waterfront Fire Protection

So much has happened since, it
seems almost ancient history now, but
when national defense was in every
body's mind and on all tongues Will
mington's exposed and poorly protected
waterfront was volubly discussed Off
cially and on every corner. AS so often
happened in those remote days, it re-
manned for Bruce B. Cameron, always
a leader and later mayor, to bring about
remedial action.
The Coast Guard was not long in
stationing three fire boats at the
Custom House wharf where they re-
NAMED on duty as long as the war
lasted and for some months after it
ended. One notable example of their
service was offered when a moored
tanker was struck by lightning and
burning gasoline spread on the river,
threatening buildings above and be-
low. In cooperation with the City Fire
Department the Coast Guard boats
rendered invaluable service, with re-
suit that what could have developed
into a holocaust was brought under
control within the area first affected.
Since the boats were removed Will
mington has had to depend on the old
slow fireboat moored at the foot of
Grace street. Only since the fire a few
days ago at the Stone Marine Railway
plant across the river has there been
any serious thought, official or public,
upon improving riverfront fire protec-
ton. The old boat did noble work then,
but it's inadequacy to control & major
fire was obvious.
Now Chief Ludie Groom is opening
negotiations for another boat and the
City Manager has ordered thorough
inspection of the entire Cape Fear 'front.'
age with intention to have all hazards
removed Immediately.
Under provisions of the act for dis
posing of surplus property it might
be possible for the City to buy one of
the Coast Guard boats formerly sta
toned here.
At the same time, and in view of
the heavy investments in plants across
the river, which are outside the city
limits, it is reasonable to expect the
county government to share purchase
and maintenance costs, or provide a
boat of its own. AS the county collects
taxes on rural properties, it should
provide protection.
Since some of the over-river i'm
provements are in Brunswick county,
the New Hanover Commission would
be justified in expecting the Brunswick
Commission to "kick in on the expense.

Weeds

The college professors in agrcul-
ture have a simple, and probably
accurate definition of a weed. They
succinctly and simply clarity the
problem by stating that a weed is
a plant growing out of place. Ac-
cording to the experts, a stalk of
wheat in a cornfield is a weed.
Obadiah Barzoola Cahoon. the
suburban gardener is wilding to ac-
cept this, but it doesn't solve his
problem. AS he crawls along his
rows OF carrots, beets and lettuce.

The common parental prsctic.
of waiting for a baby to grow i'm

policy. Little babies need human
companionship to help them dsv.I-

In his observations on newborn

might be that during the DAY moro

Babies need love and care from

sisters. Singing to them and rock.
ing them in moderation are good
practices.

are different, hut, like adults, thew
become hungry when their stom-
achs are empty. AS a rule, this is
at three to four : hour intervals
and an observing mother soon
learns to tell when her baby is
hungry.
Worrisome mothers may create
feeding problems with their
youngsters by their meticulops
concern over the amount of food
taken at each feeding. Much hap.
pier are the mothers and babies
when breast = feeding is practiced,
for then the mother does not know
how much her baby received at
the feeding. He simply falls off to
sleep with a ccntented smile Of
satisfaction.
Babies, like adults. DO not eat
exactly the same amount at each
meal. Weighing the baby on a
certain day each week is s%atistac-
tory when 4 e Is getting along all

1t is unfortunate that Fathers
come home just when the baby is
getting ready to settle down for the
night. Infants usually become
more restless when they are tired,
and il is easy to imagine that they
are not sleepy and simply wish to
be picked up.
