This record will be concluded
with a final interesting item rep
resenting an action by the same
board of county commissioners.

"Famine" A Misn0mer

The forecast is heard that the United
Estates faces a meat famine" within a
week. This is not the truth. The meat
shortage may reach unprecedented
PROPORTIONS through the Withholding of
cattle and hogs from the market by
growers and packers in expectation
that ceiling prices may be removed on
July 1 and so increase the profits of
both. But actual famine could exist
only if there were no cattle and hogs.
Instead, the country has never had
more meat on the hoof.
The only question that begs answer
is whether the ceiling should be main
tanned and steps taken to force grow
ers and packers to start slaughtering
on a grand scale or lift the ceiling and
wait for the law of supply and demand
to solve the price problem. Adherents
of the latter view hold that as there
is little meat available for civilian con-
sumers and to some extent what is to
be had may be bought only at excessive
price through dealers who patronize
black markets there is no good reason
to continue the price ceiling "fiction;"
that the nations supply will reach nor
NAL quicker and surer if the govern
ment gives up all control. Of course
forty cent meat might go up to a dollar
a pound, but eventually the market
would be stabilized.
They may be right, but it is just as
likely they are wrong. The Office of
Price Administration has been so poor
ly conducted, it's errors are so many
and great, it is difficult to believe that
anything placed under it's Jurisdiction
could by any stretch of the imagination
be right. At the same time it is con-
ceivable that under sounder admins
tration and with a completely revamped
set, of rules governing it's activities, it
could and would serve a good purpose
in enforcing reasonable ceilings at least
for another year while the nation and
the world are beating a way back to
normally.
This is not to say that as now con-
stituted, the OPA could function for the
good or benefit of any group or individ-
ual. But certainly it ought to be possible
for experienced business leaders with
out political prejudices to create a sys-
tenn of ceiling prices and find a way to
start goods of all sorts, in the present
case meat, to market with a square deal
for producer, professor and consumer.

Herewith is the third and the
last installme1t Of Mr.. Louis
Moore's article on the naming of
the Townships in New Hanover
county, back in 1868. You will prob
ably recall that in the two forego-
ing articles Mr.. Moore told of
how the Carpetbag rulers of the
State and county, just after the
War Between the States, took over
and named at least four OF the
Townships after Northern names
and personalities.
Again, Mr.. Moore:
"Excusably. the writer was part
ly swayed by the thought that Fed
eral Point Township might have
come down from the 1868 period.
Especially, as the area where Fort
Fisher was located was called
Confederate Point during the war.
1t vas given that designation by
the Confederate forces when Bat
terry Bolles was built there in 1861
under the direction of Major C.
P. Bolles, a gallant Wilmingtonian.
However, Mr.. Eric Norden. of Will
mington, d talented student of
North Carolina history. as we'll as
a civil engineer of great ability,
advised that mis- title Investigations
revealed that the name Federal
Point comes from later Revolu-
tionary times. It was SO designated
by Archibald Maclain "a distinguish
ed lawyer. who started to form a
settlement in that area about 1875.
The word Federal may have come
from the Federslists who were &C
tive in early American political
fields.
ut was evidently a source OF
eminent satisfaction to disgrunt-
led citizens OF New Hanover coun-
ty to know first hand of the lack
of confidence and general disre-
pute which surrounded the Carpet
bag Board Of County Commission
ers. This feeling permeated fl
nancial circles and outstanding
men of honor and prominence. The
minutes of the board in the latter
part of 1868 outline the fact that
the members wanted to borrow
$4,000 for maintenance of their
county government. The chairman
went to the leading bank. In the
words carried by the Minutes. He
was informed that the president
was in New York, and the Cashier
had been instructed not to lend

Stories about the Golden
Fleece. and the dragons teeth
which sprouted into a field of
armed warriors eager for battle,
have thrilled many generations OF
school children reading the an
Gent Greek legends.
But while the appeal Of the
early, innocent love and magic
in barbaric Colchis is primarily
o young people, it is adults
alone who can be interested in
the fearsome elimination of the
Medea tragedy, when everlasting
love turns into everlasting hatred
and the beautiful sorceress be-
comes the repugnant. symbol of
the infanticide.
1t was some $500 years 400 that
Euripides selected the climax in
Corlnth, where Jason abandons
Medea for love of Creon's daugh-
ter and the hope of inheritino
Creon's power, for the subject Of
one OF his hundred or so dramas.
Set down among the "smilino
c%hattering Greeks" the PRIMITIVE
Medea learns that Corinth will
Danish her as Colchis had done
Remembering her former crimes
committed for love, and dreadino
new ones, Creon exiles her to
spare his daughter from probable
harm, and orders her and .Jason,s
two boys driven out, too.
AS Medea acts on Aegeus' I'M
whiting suggestion, to which She
responds, in LETTERS words: IN

him. the tragedy climbs terrifv-
lngly to the vengeance inflicted
on Creon and the new bride. the
