Register Today

New Hanover county registration
books are open today for the May 70
election.
Voters are urged to remember that
unless their names appear on the new
lists now to be compiled they will be
denied the privilege Of participating
in the election.
Because Of the annexation of eastern
and southern suburban areas since the
last poll lists were prepared it has
been necessary to change some pre-
cinc- lines and this necessarily involves
reregis-rar;on.
Registrars will be at their precinct
posts from 9 o'clock this morning until
sunset. Il viii be to your advantage to
make this visit today rather than on
succeeding Saturdays, when the atten-
dance naturally will be larger and you
will consequently be delayed.

McKenney On
BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

! have often said that bidding
conventions are too often used as
a substitute for thinking, and the
same theory holds true in
the play CT the hand. For instance,
if you blicdly follow the rule AL
ways cover an honor with an
honor" ycu will make the mistake
that West made on today's hand.
The Opening heart lead was won
by declarer with the queen and
the ten Of spades was led, West
covering witt. the queen. Vests
excuse was that he assumed that
South held the jack because of
his spade bid, but even if that
were true, he would accomplish
by covering. Certainly
South held four spades, so what
could Wes. hope to establish for
his partner?
The very fact that South led the
ten indicated that he probably did
not have the jack, and in that case
East would nave tae jack and one
spade. Therefore, by playing low,
West was bound to make a spade
trick which would have defeated
the contract.

Prince Takahito Mikasa, brother of
Hlrohlto, who was stationed at JAP
anese headquarters in Nanking during
the war, has voiced a wish to enter a
United States university "as soon as
1t is permitted.'
There is no purpose to do the young
man an injustice. He may be earnestly
in search of Western knowledge, for
its own sake. But so many young men
of Japan during half century before
the war studied at United States Uni
versities for the sole purpose of pro-
noting Japan's war program and alb
sorbed so much of the knowledge there
available that they became key figures
in Japan's war-making against us, it
is to be questioned if any more of them,

TAKING A LIST TO HEAVEN
'It will take a considerable slice
of eternity for me to solve all
the mysteries that have baffled
me on earth,'' said a Christian
worker. II want to know the out
come of a thousand things l at
tempted in the name of Christ.
Did my efforts with the Jones
boys really succeed? What came
of all the speeches I made? We're
any souls really saved as re-
suit of my missionary gifts? And,
most of all, what about my pray
ers that seemed to be unanswer-
ed? Yes, I am taking a life full
of questions to heaven with me
for answer there"
One of the Scriptures that should
be craven deep in the foundation
stones of every character is For
now we know in part" On earth,
has full knowledge of any,
thing. Even the commonest ac-
t1OnS dllQ WoIoS ldVE TdlilltlC d.
tions which extend so far that only
in heaven can the ends Of them
be seen. All of life is an incom-
plete work, which needs another
world for its finishing.
Dark are the ways of Provid-
ence here. But we remind our
selves, What do thou knowest
not now, but thou shalt know
hereafter" One bliss of heaven
is that we shall know fully :"
Even more, we shall know God,
which is life eternal.
So small are our minds, and so
limited our knowledge, that we
complain because we do not un-
derstand Thy ways, o Lord, Set
our feet on the rock of the great
faith that Thy mind will be re-
vealed in Thy presence. Amen.

It Can't Be Done

The trouble with the fight of union
labor for more equal distribution of
wealth, from which so many crippling
strikes have sprung, is that it ignores
the unequal ability of individuals to
administer their revenues in an eco
nonlically sound way.
For the most part increase in earn
ings increases spending power without
consideration of how the spending is
done.
There is, therefore, no reason to
doubt that if the total wealth of the
nation were equally divided among the
total population the great bulk of it
would be back in the hands of few
within generation - the few who
know how to husband and increase
their resources - with the vast ma
jority back on daily wages.
If any proof is needed it is only
necessary to remember the foolish
spending of so many, and the needless
cashing in of war bonds as quickly as
they were acquired, when the rush
for war tools sent earnings to unpre-
cedented high levels.
1t is this that makes the declaration
Of Robert A. Olson, president of the
Minnesota State Federation of Labor.
out of plumb. Mr.. Olson was address,
ing the national convention of the mu-
nicipal employees union at Chicago.
He listed as necessities of life" two
suits Of clothes, hat each season for
your wife, an automobile, sundrv
electrical household appliances, sum-
mer resort vacations and "score of
other things" yesterdays wages :"
he added, wouldn't have begun to paw
for these things. Instead of the old
idea of keeping body and soul together.
labor now looks ahead to the rainy dav
and looks for a saving wage instead
of living wage.'"
It would be an ideal condition if
union labor, as well as all other work
ers, could apply part of their wages
regularly to saving, not merely to hoard
but to invest with a view to ultimate
financial independence. But there is
nothing in the records to indicate that
more than a small percentage would
or could do so.
They never have. They never will.

Harmony At The Start

Russia's consent for France and the
United States to take part in treaty
discussions affecting former German
satellite countries seems to give the
Paris conference of Big Four foreign
ministers an auspicious start. It was
Russia's refusal to give France voice
in similar discussions that disrupted
the London conference last September
While this change in Russia's at
tltude is a short step toward harmony,
it is exceedingly short, since France
is to be allowed to vote only on the
treaty with Italy and not the other
four treaties. France may talk, but
that is all. She is to have no voice in
the decisions affecting Bulgaria, Hun
gary, Finland and Romania now don1i-
mated by the Soviet Union.
Likewise, the United States NAV sit
IN during consideration of treaty with
Finland, and perhaps get word or two
in edgewise.
This country was not at war with
the Films and so is not considered en-
titled to voice in that country's fate
So we find that whereas Russia has
climbed down from her high horse, she
obviously does not intend to loosen her
grip on the reins. The general amia-
bllity noted at the initial session of the
Paris conference may not be a true
gauge of the meeting after all.
