Air Unit Possibilities

#f.GH AL OlkxC l.
The possibility that Wilmington
may still be selected as a site for a
National Guard Air Force unit was
limited in Washington dispatches late
last week.
According to news from the capital
the War Assets administration has de
laved an expected decision on the pro-
nosed transfer of 11-million dollar
Bluethenthal airport to the New Han
over county commissioner The rea'
son for the postponement is that the
WAA is awaiting word from the Ad-
iutant General regarding possible
formation of an Air organization here.
His office has indicated that such &C
ton is being contemplated.
Sometime ago., the War department
announced the location of some Guard
Air units. Such North Carolina cities
as Charlotte and Greensboro were on
the list. Wilmington was not.
This city has been assigned a bat
talon of Anti-Aircraft Artillery and
one Infantry company.
Tactical reason for encouragement
of the AAA here is potential defense
of the interior in the possibility of air
attack from the sea. That's long
range military thinking. But air
planes are a much better defense
against any such assault in future
years. Therefore, establishment of a
Air component would round out this
arrangement, give this section of the
coast a defense comparable to that
successfully employed by Great Britain
during the height Of the German air
offensive.
In addition, few cities in the coun-
try are better equipped to accommo-
date this branch of the National Guard.
Bluethenthal airport's expansive facili-
ties have long been recognized as form
ing one of the best military installations
of its type in the country.
These are but a few of the rgu
ments in behalf of an Air unit here.
Many more could be cited.
We cannot see how recruiting per-
sonnet of such organization would in
terfere with efforts to muster the
necessary strength to form the AAA
battalion and the Infantry company.
Former Air Force servicemen, both
flight and administration, form a large
part of the potential supply of recruits
here.
Therefore, the Star-News believes
the possibility of securing an Air or
ganization of the National Guard
should be investigated Immediately.
Early efforts to obtain a favorable COM
mitment from the proper War depart
ment authorities would provide time to
coordinate establishment of the unit
here with the upstate ones.
If the answer is otherwise, then an
early decision would expedite transfer
OF the large airport to the county.
In either case, immediate action by
civic organizations and leaders directly
interested would be beneficial to the
community.

DOLLARS BUYING
POWER CURTAILED
Housewives Faced W i h
Weighty Problem As
Prices Increase

Wilmington housewives, together
with housewives throughout the ma
ton, are being brought face to face
with the realization that the buying
power of the American dollar has
decreased by leaps and bounds dur
ing the war years.
The decrease was a gradual one
during the early years but with
price decontrol the family pocket
book is Taking a beating in the
altered buying picture.
American shoppers who think
food prices, especially, have spir-
allied, can keep right on thinking
so, because they're right, as a sur
vey of present-day costs, compared
with prices B.A-before Axis-re-
veals a 100 per cent increase.
In October 1941, U. S. families
dined on a rump roast of beef that
took 81 cents a pound to purchase,
and last months price for the same
item was A cents a pound.
Hens. worth 80 cents per pound
in pre-Pearl Harbor days, can row
be purchased for a mere SO cents,
a chuck roast, formerly Is cents,
has doubled, and now the same
cut of meat is so cents per pound.
Boneless steak, which retailed for
80 cents a pound five years ago
is advertised in the papers as avail
able to steak-lovers and vegetarians
alike . for u cents a pound.
Bacon, on meat counters in 1871
at 20 cents, is now SO cents if you
know the grocer. Fryers now sell at
a 70 cent. They used to be 33 cents.
Oysters, at 81 cents a pint, in
1s41, now peek coyly from their
shell home, with an 88 cent price
tag on their slippery backs.
A pound of cheee, available for
mouse traps or dinner tables at
% cents a pound five years ago,
now goes for IS cents, since prices
have. scared.
Eggs. which were 81 cents a do
zen, r currently being old for u
cents, and grocers admit they are
high.
Rolled oats, have been upped
from seven cents a package, to q
cents for the same package, and
now it is too costly to tear off the
top of the cereal cartoon to use
for radio contests.
Canned goods have also rolled
along the golden trail. Four tcma-
toes, reposing quietly in a tin can,
20 cents to the 1871 shopper
. . they blush now at rs cents for
the can. The can is not returnab,e
for any deposit
Four pounds of apples, 7 cents
a half decade ago, now await pur-
chase on grocers counters at So
cents. A head of cauliflower has
swelled from 16 cents then, to q
cents now Sugar, which was SO
cents for 10 pounds, and avaiiable
in 1941, is now "a cents, and empty
sugar bowls are in evidence, Lard
has doubled, so that it's cheaper
to fry the meats you can find. in
the butter that sometimes make an
appearance on the counters at pric-
es from SO cents to $1.20 a pound.
Figured accurately with an add
ing machine which can still be pur-
chased at a slight increase in price.
today's shopper pays $3.50 for an
assortment of groceries that he
bought In 1941 for a ten dollar bill.

Pork Was Selling AT 10
Gents a Pound, Accord
ing To Advertisements

City-wide revivals and tent
meeting of by-gone days were re-
called yesterday by many Whining
tonians when an old-timer, display
ing a May II, 1916, edition of the
Wilmington Morning Star, created
considerable interest in down town
stores by showing an article in
the paper chronicling the preach
ings of DR.. Wilbur Chapman at
the Fourth and Castle streets
tabernacle.
The theme song, Memories of
Mother" for the Chapman-Alex-
ander revival services that night
was composed by Charles NJ. Alex
ander. The reading of the story of
the revival services, which attract
ed thousands of citizens to the
tabernacle prompted many old
time Wilmingtonians to recall the
days when DR.. Torrey conducted
a city-Wide revival in the old
Champion compress, at the foot
of Walnut street.
Man also recall the time when
the famous evangelist, the Rev.
Billy Sunday, conducted a re-
vival in Wilmington; and others
remembered having heard their
parents tell of another world
famous evangelist, Sam Jones
when he preached to thousands in
a tabernacle that was repeatedly
located in the vicinity of sixth and
Campbell streets,
When DR.. Chapman was preach
ing in Wilmington, the Morning
Star of that date chronicled the
news that the Mexican government
still was insisting on the withdraw
al of General John J. Pershing's
troops.
The same newspaper reported
that the United States was prepar-
ing to lodge a protest with the
British government over that ma
tons refusal to allow shipment
of supplies to Germany by the
American Red Cross. Secretary

from President William Howard

MAXINE BROWNLEE
Dismissed On
Staying Charges

Maxine Brownlee. 81, Of 1881
