OBITUARY

Julian Lee CoWan, eldest son of
the late George z. and Martha Alice
Grips CoWan, was born at OttumWa,
Iowa, August IA, 1875, and departed
this life in the Good Samaritan hos
pital, at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, September
II, 1916, aged II years and 29 days.
On June 20, 1907, he was united
in marriage with Estella Archer of
East Union, Ohio, who departed this
life April 18, 1916. He leaves to
mourn his loss one sister, Mrs. Wini-
fred P. Cravatzo, of Baldwin Park,
California; two brothers, G.. w.
Cowan, of Freeman, Ontario, Cana
da, and John R. Cowan, of Holison,
Montana, nieceS and nepheWs and a
host of other relatives and friends.
He was a good neighbor and a
real friend to everyone who had his
acquaintance and will be sadly
missed by all who knew him. He
was a member of the Caldwell Free
Methodist church. His long and
useful life might we'll be expressed
in the following lines by A. L.
Frank:
Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in Gods
free light,
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and
night.
AS it grew and blossomed fair and
tall,
Slowly raising to loftier height,
1t came to a creVice in the wall
Through which there shone q
beam of light.
Onward it crept with added
strength,
With never thought of fear OF
pride;
l: followed the light through the
crevice's length
And unfolded itself on the other
side.
The light, the dew, the broadening
view
Were found the same as they were
before;
And it lost itself in beauties new
Breathing it's fragrance more and
more.
Shall claim of death cause us tc
grieve
And make our courage faint anC
fall?
No Let US faith and hope receive
The rose still grows beyond the
wall.
Scattering fragrance far and wide,
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forever more.

MAN RAISES HIS ARMS
ABOVE HIS HEAD FOR
FIRST TIME IN YEARS

A few days ago a man SAID the
rheumatic pains in his arms and
shoulders disappeared and now ne
can raise his arms above his head
for the first time in years. He
said the pains he used to have
from this rheumatism were simply
awful. Sometimes his knees and
hips were stiff and sore, but the
pains were mostly in the back of
his neck and across his shoulders.
Now, however, his suffering is en-
tirely gone and he says the change
is due to taking RHU-AID. "Oh!
What relief" states this man.
'eWhy don't other rheumatic suf-
ferers get RHU-AID."
RHU-AID is a new formula. 1t
contains Three Great Ingredients,
so it is almost like taking three
medicines in one. 1t goes right to
the socrce of rheumatic aches and
pains. Miserable people soon feel
different all over. So don't go on
suffering! Get RHU-AID.

Harking Back

Hayden Talbert who with his wife
stopped in Wilmington all too briefly
while touring the United States, and
was mistakenly identified as a Reuters
correspondent in the Saturday issue Of
The Star, tells of having been sent to
England by William Randolph Hearst
when the Lusitania was sunk and parti-
cularly of B~ernsdorff's manner of deny-
ing to him in person all responsibility
for that tragic attack. He quotes Berns-
dorff as saying to him: would | have
ordered that ships destruction without
preventing my three best friends from
embarking on it," And all three, as Mr..
Talbert tells it, were Americans.
He further says the German who
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-12-02

pulled the trigger of the torpedo that
hit the Lusitania, when questioned later,
declared he did not know what ship
it was-that he saw a ship and fired
when the range was right. Mr.. Talbert
offers no defense of Bernsdorff or the
torpedoman, but merely tells what each
claimed after the event.
Even if both were telling the exact
truth, nothing they said, or could say,
could lessen the tragedy, the useless,
needless slaughter of the Lusitania's
victims.

as early as 1887 by the sit-down

public disapproval. When the war
came, strikes in war industries
further aroused public resentment.
From 1941 onward polls by the In

of the voters in favor OF prohibiting

Public desire for strike control
did not cool off when the war end

Go Early, Avoid The Rush

We can't dodge the bad news any
longer. New automobile licenses go on
sale today.
Why the state of North Carolina
selected December for this additional
expense, when everybody is harassed
for ready cash to buy Christmas pres
ents is not easily explained, but the
fact that it did, and does, ought to give
the legislators soon to assemble at
Raleigh something to think about and
correct.
Of course, no month would be entire
ly satisfactory, but December is the
worst in the year.
Nevertheless as long as it is the law
that motor vehicle licenses must be
in the hands of owners, and license
plates displayed by January 1, it be-
hooves we the people to purchase them
during December lest, by neglecting the
purchase, we become subject to arrest
and fine, in addition to having still to
buy the license.
This is written to recommend that
the purchase be made early in the
month, both for the convenience of the
owner and the limited staff that issues
the licenses. If this little matter is de-
layed-put off to the last moment, as
so many are inclined to dot is newt
able that long queues will be found
stretching from the Auto Clubs doors
in the Cape Fear Hotel toward Chestnut
and Grace streets and much time vast
ed awaiting a turn at the desk of Miss
Minnie Payne, who presides over the
sale, whose speed and efficiency are
traditional, but who still has but two
hands and can do just so much and no
more to accommodate license applicants.
The advice to come early and avoid
the rush never applied more aptly.
One other means of disposing of the
job with neatness and dispatch is to
have last years card in hand along with
the necessary cash when reaching the
desk. If it is necessary to go through
the miscellaneous Identification and
other cards and memos most people
stow away in their bill folds after reach.
ing the desk more time will be lost
and, what is of equal Importance, ar
unnecessary delay imposed on othe1
applicants still to be served.

BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Gard Authority

The American Contract Bridge
League has not only renewed its
pledge to fight cancer in children,
but has resolved to expand its
activities in the general war on
cancer. At the winter national
tournament at Hollywood, Fla,
Dec. 8 to IS, it is expected that
the league will inaugurate a def
mite plan along these lines for 1947.
Peter Levntritt, one Of the New
York Life Masters, has been ac-
tive in this cause, and I hope he
does as well in it as he did in max
ing his contract in today's hand,
in spite of the fact that both OF
the much-needed illnesses were
wrong.
He won the opening lead in his
own hand with the ten of hearts,
cashed the c of hearts, ran three
spade tricks, then cashed the king
of hearts, discarding the deuce Of
clubs from his hand.
4NOW VI SOQA sc CtCIltIlLL hllcW
that West was out of spades and
hearts, and if he had made the
mistake Of cashing his fourth
heart, he would have lost the CON
tract. He would have been forced
to discard a diamond or a club,
and in that case West would have
had an easy exit card.
Instead, he left the queen OF
hearts in dummy and played a
small club. East put on the jack,
Leventritt finessed the queen and
West won. A club was returned
which Leventritt won with the
nine, cashed the ace Of clubs, went
over to dummy with the spade
and discarded the jack of dia-
monds on the queen of hearts.
Remember that finesse has only
a so per cent chance to win.
Always try to plan your play to
+! eliminate the finesse II possible.
