Support Junior College

The decks are cleared for action
on Wilmington's proposal for a junior
college to serve the boys and girls
of southeastern North Carolina.
At the mass meeting in the high
school auditorium Rep. J. Bayard
Clark declared he would do everything
that he could to get any federal build
ing now, or later to be placed on the
surplus property list for it's occupancy.
Senator-elect Lennon and Representa-
tive-elect Kermon committed them
selves to full support of the movement.
T. T. Hamilton, assistant school sup
%erintendent and high school principal,
described in detail the need for and
advantages to be gained from it's es.
tablishment.
1t remains now only for the inform
ed people of New Hanover county to
get solidly behind the proposition and
not only spread information about the
school among neighbors not fully cog
infant of the benefits to be gained but
support whatever legislation and what
ever election may be required to bring
the school into existence.
Noting the Importance of Whining
ton in relation to the other leading cities
of the state, Mr.. Clark emphasized the
fact that of them all, this is the only
major municipality lacking either a
junior college or other place of learning
above the high school grade, and added
fulfillment of the project would be one
of the finest things that could be done
for betterment of the city.
His question: "How can you afford
to do anything less?" has but n log
ical answer. Wilmington can't afford to
do anything less. Certainly it can't af-
ford to do anything less if it is to main
tain it's place among the leading cities
of the state.
The money involved in the small tax
required to operate the school until it
becomes self-supporting cannot justly
be weighed against the advantages it
will bring to this city and all southeast
ern North Carolina, in education, in
economic improvement for the younger
generation and the benefits available to
the business community.

Several hours later she stood ON
the porch of a white frame house.

Several hours later she stood ON
the porch of a white frame house.
Now she was ready, bag in hand,
for the midnight train. AS she wait
ed for the taxicab, she smoothed
her black tailored wooden frock
over her slim hips. If New York
hadn't been particularly kind to
her, it had at least taught her how
to dress!
She couldn't sleep on the train.
Closing her eyes, she saw the clut-
tered desk which she had left at
Roswell's Advertising agency, and
Mr.. Johnston's kindly face when he
had told her to go home for Christ
mas. She saw Ralph's desk in the
managers office, Ralph dancing in
Philadelphia, Ralph opening Christ
mas gifts and just Ralph,
with whom she would never again
share good times.
There was a three-hour wait for
the local train at Pittsburgh, but
Margaret was too tired and de-
pressed to leave the station. After
buying a magazine featuring an
article on men, and an astrological
delineation of her birthsign, she
settled herself into the practical task
of trying to determine her future in
this most unpredictable world.
Several hours later, not much wiser
but much more weary, she stood
on the porch of a white frame
house.
The door opened and Margaret
blinked.
II win!" shouted Ralph trium-
phantly. "She came on the midnight
train!"
Mrs. Brown rushed out to the hall
way and enfolded her daughter In
an ample, motherly embrace.
Margaret! Why child, you're a
sight! Your face is as black as COAL"
Margaret withdrew herself from
her mothers arms and looked at
the two of them coolly. "Well, if it
isn't asking too much, just what is
this? Not a weekend in Philadel-
phia, I believed"
Ralph took her bag and magazine
and helped her out of her coat.
Don't be like that, Margaret! /
bet your mother a box of candy
against a mince pie that you'd come
down on the midnight train"
"And what, exactly, are you do

you, and then ! wanted to talk to
your Dad about something :"
Ralph was awkwardly turning the
magazine in his hands. Jumping

little red book!" He opened it to a
center page, and read: 1.-The ma
tives of this sign are more than
likely to have short tempers."
"Give it to mel"

reach and Margaret stamped her
foot. Ralph Wells" she said, 81

your fault, Give me that book!"
There, there" conforted her
mother. "You go upstairs and get
washed. You'll feel better"
Margaret started up the stairs,
then turned in sudden remem-
brance. "Are you staying over
Christmas?" she asked Ralph.
81 had expected to-"
"You might as well. There's q !
dance Christmas Eve"
At the top of the steps she turned
again. "And don't forget, half OF
that pie is mine. After all, did the
coming home!"
"Okay."
"She's tickled to death to see
you," whispered Mother Brown
cautiously. She patted his arm, and
Ralph understood.

1T WAS three nights before Christ
mas and Margaret was packing
to go home. Contrary to traditional
sentiment, she was not happy about
it, for she had planned to stay in
New York with Ralph. With consid-
cradle foretheught she had even
planned the day; church in the
morning, Christmas dinner with
Amy and Bill. a walk down Fifth
avenue at twilight, a snack of sup
per, and the theater.
But Ralph had been invited to q
"swen house party in Philadel-
phia." Margaret slammed down the
top Of her suitcase. She could have
borne up under a Christmas with a
lonely mother, or a widowed sister.
What about me?" she had
longed to cry out, but she had in-
stead, smiled and said that it was
just too marvellous, wondering
meanwhile if Mr.. johnson would lei
her have an extra day off. Ralph
had only to go to Philadelphia, two
hours away, while she had no one

The rules of golf should be ex-

Corcoran, boss Of the PGA tour, in
commenting on the recent blast Of
the United States Golf Association
In the direction OF the professionals.
Francis Ouimet, chairman OF the
Championship Committee OF the
USGA., scored laxity he said had
crept into wartime golf, warning
that from this point on the rules
LOT the game must be adhered to
strictly in events sponsored by his
organization.
The rules as written do not cover
everything that happens on a
course and many of those In the
book are difficult, to interpret" said
lCorcorar.
There should be better under
standing," he said. However, even
| as the rules are written, we play the
same as the USGA Open except
that our players are charged dis
tance only for out-of- bounds in
stead Of stroke and distance, and
we allow 16 clubs instead of IA.
"But. we haven't teed up in over
a year. We did it then because of
bad weather and to help save the
courses. AS far as not charging q
stroke for out-of-bounds, the better
golfers don't go out of bounds. Byron
Nelson hasn't been out of bounds
