Ruth Mtueet crepancy In ages between the farm woman and her husband, the bride and groom would probably find plenty to laugh at too.
 The bride has already said she wouldn't wear those dude dresses if they gave her all of New York. And she has admitted she probably couldn't stand the "devilment" of the big city for two weeks.
 So think how amazed she would be to find that full-grown men and women pay the prices they do to spend an evening shut up in crowded, smoke-filled rooms, eat- ing poor food, dancing on dime sized spots, and calling it fun!
 And if the bride and groom from Kentucky should learn of the mari tai adventures of some of the play boys and playgirls so eagar to be amused by a poor farm couple, they would probably be more amazed than amused.
 A MATTER OF TASTE
 It all depends on the point of view. The farm couple has no mon- opoly on the ridiculous, as any, one who follows from year to year the curious antics of the socially prominent well knowS-and as the visiting Kentuckians would soon learn.
 At least, from their marriage the Kentucky bride got farmland and the groom got a home. And the marriage will probably last as long as do some of the much-publicized romanceS of the cafe society.

 Next is the side stroke, a hip- whittier which has few equals be- cause here's your scissors exercise under water. The side stroke is a good choice, too, if you are one of those girls who simply can't b-e-a-r to submerge her face.
 For the breast stroke, the third up for review, you also keep your face clear of water. The principal benefits to be derived from this one is all-over understanding and a way to slim down legs and develop shoulders that's fun.
 The last stroke, the crawl, is the star of the cast, from the stand point of all-arolind figure benefits, spectacular speed and Showy per- fOrmarce. Nor can you swim the crawl regularly and in good form without developing beautiful neck The reason? The stroke requires you to swim with your face sumberged part of the time.

Whether it was malaria (bad air, night air, marshy or swampy soil, dampness, miasma, night nists), childbed fever (now known as puerperal septicemia) or any of the diseases that cause stiffness, inflammation or swelling of joints or muscles and pain on motion Gall Jumped under the meaningless name of rheumatism, the old time doctors got away with then, there was no one to question the professional prop riety of this except maybe some damned radical, dilettante or poet, such as SemmelweisS in Europe and Oliver Wendell Holmes in America.

Turkey Wants Loan

Why should Turkey be seeking
half billion dollar loan from the United
States, unless it is that all nations have
adopted a policy of come-one, conceal
in the belief that this nations treasury
is as bottonless as many Rocky Noun
tain lakes. France, Italy, Poland,
China, Yugoslavia are knocking at Mr..
Wilson's office door, with Russia on
the way and Great Britain already
peeking in. Turkey can hardly be
censured for trying, too.
But there is one difference between
Turkey and the others. Turkey had
no part in World War II, save as a
spectator, while all the rest were in to
their necks. There could we'll be some
excuse for the United States to help it's
Allies out, but it is hard to see any
reason to extend helping hand to a
noncombatant power, whose help in one
crisis at least would have been of real
value.

Junior Band Concerts

Announcement that the Junior High
School band is to give series Of con-
certs at Greenfield, starting on the last
Sunday of this month, will be welcomed
by all Wilmington music lovers for
many reasons.
In the first place, the band is young
lin existence and the age OF its mem
bers, the average being eleven years.
Secondly, comes its remarkable pro-
gress under the director, Richard Dod-
son. In the district festival at the high
school it received a Rating Excel
lent" and would have been entitled to
take part in the state contests at Green's
boro, if junior bands had had a place
in that event.
In the third place, the forthcoming
concerts will stimulate music apprecia-
ton and encourage other youngs+ arg
to study music more seriously than
most of them do now.
And the use of Greenfield Park for
public entertainment, particularly in
the field of music, has long been a
dream of earnest promoters of good
music for Southeastern North Carolina,
not Wilmington alone.
That this junior band has progress
ed so rapidly it is ready for truly
creditable public appearance should be
recognized as among the finest accom-
plishments within our borders. 1t re-
mains for the public to give it the en-
enlargement it richly deserves by turn
ing out en- masse for it's Greenfield
concerts.

Reregistration Necessary

Now that the time for candidates
to file for public office is past it is
appropriate, indeed essential, for eligi-
bic voters to bear in mind that they
must reregister to enjoy the right to
vote fer their favorites in the Nav rs
primary election.
This is necessary because of the
new precinct lines due to the annexation
Of eastern and southern suburban
areas in last November's balloting.
Failure to have your name on the
new registration book in the precinct
which includes your place of domicile
will deprive you of your franchise so
far as this primary is concerned.
On April II, May 4, and MAY IL.
registration books will be open at the
twenty-five polling places in the new
city limits. Registrars will accept reqis-
trations at their homes in the evenings
or, as the case may be, will even visit
the homes of invalids who cannot 90
out but expect to be well enough to %
to their polling place on primary day.
Whatever your situation may be dur
ing this registration period, do not
fail to perform your duty by enrolling
on the new books and, having done this
do not fail to vote when May Is rolls
around

BY special request, I am includ-
ing herewith another series Of arti-
cles from the book, The Book of
Wilmington, by Andrew J. How
ell.
The following is from the chap
ter, Town Incidents:
Mention has been made of the
setting off of New Hanover county
in 1929. This should have some ex-
PLANTATION, and, as Wilmington is
the historic county seat, look
back at the case should be in
order. George burlington Was gov
ernor Of the province in 1928,
and the Southeastern portion of
it was Bath county. The governor
wished to honor the reigning
house Of Hanover by naming
an important district after it.
So he arbitrarily called the low
er Cape Fear region New Han
over precinct" the colonists OBJ
jected to this, and did not wish
70 recognize tne governor action
until it was confirmed by the as
sembly. This was done, however,
in July of 1929, and everything was
officially concluded thus far. Still
the governors action was not ap-
proved, but was harbored to his
discredit in the minds of leading
citizens. In December, 1882, Ma
thaniel Rice and John Baptista
addressed a letter to His Excel
lency objecting to some OF the
! things which he and his council
had done. Among these was this:
again in the year 1923
there was an attempt by the
governor and the council to

LETTER BOX
A NEW HOSPITAL

Recently certain religious or
ganization, affiliated with some Of
our churches, proposes a city wide
canvass for funds to erect a new
hospital, although we now have two
institutions of the same character.
The implication is that the latter
are either inefficient or need ex-
pansion to meet all coming calls.
The former difficulty might be
true after their struggle through
a bloody international war, during
which all local life has suffered
disruption, and many resources
have been absorbed by the military
operations.
However, we are rapidly re-
covering our poise. After inquiry
1 am credibly informed that the
present facilities in our community
are amply sufficient with some as
sistance. Such efforts you'd be far
less expensive than the launching
of an independent project, which
has been advertised while two or
three other campaigns were solicit
ing funds. Such overlapping of ef-
fort hardly spells success for any
of the petitioners.
A fair and fr e d ly esti-
mate of the present situation in
our community, would be to ex-
pand and equip our present facili-
ties. The expense would be far
less than the erection Of a totally
new plant. Such action would make
for economy, and by the grace of
God enable us to do more for the
starving millions throughout the
world.
The above suggestion may sound
like the belated chirp Of solitary
bird in the wilderness, but even a
chirp has its possibilities.

Americas Gard Authority

The Western Division of the
American Contract Bridge league
plans to greet the first large dele
cation of eastern players to Bridge
Week starting in Los Angeles, May
20. A group of eastern experts
have chartered a plane for the trip
to the Pacific Coast tournament,
which will include this year two ma
tlonal championships: mixed pairs
and mixed teams-of-four.
l have warned the eastern play
ers to expect to meet some very
tine card players. 1 recall a safe
~ play that was made against me
on my last trip to the coast.
Inc declarer wanted to be sure
that ne lost no more than a spade,
a diamond and a club. Therefore
he departed from the usual plan
lot cashing the ace and king with
nine trumps in sight, In case East
held three. Once in the lead. East
would certainly lead through the
diamond.
Declarer won the second club
trick with the ace, played a trump
TO dummy's king and returned a
trump. When East played low, de-
clarer took the finesse and was
able to spread the hand for the
balance Of the tricks.

tinted, which filings itself about in
lavish beauty. 1t will swiftly cover
a fence or a hedge or a telegraph
wire or tree.
1t is an ambitious flower, climb
ing ever higher as it has oppor-

banners of beauty are flung from
the tops Of the highest pines. and
they drape themselves about the
