KIWANIANS HEAR
SAFETY EXPERT
Retired Police Officer Com.
pliments Club For
Sponsorship

Members OF the Wilmington XII
wants club were urged yesterday
by Captain John Davis to teach the
lessons of safety to their children
not casually-but consistently in
order that traffic accidents here
may be cut to a minimum in the
years to come.
The well known former police
officer who has made the subject
of safety his watchword, cited facts
and figures during the course OF an
Informative talk, showing that &C
cidents on highways, streets and
in the homes Of the nation are
taking a greater toll Of life than
was suffered by the American
fighting forces during the war.
Captain Davis quoted figures
showing that SO, 900 Americans had
been killed accidentally during
1945. OF this total. he said, ~ 500
we're the victims of traffic acct
dents, while $500 occurred in
American homes.
The speaker, who directed the
Kiwanis club sponsored safety pro-
gram at Legion stadium Saturday,
took occasion to compliment Chief
of Police Charles =. Casteen and
members of the Wilmington police
force for their drlve against speed
ing and then went On to say that
four deaths had already occurred
in Wilmington this year from ac-
cidents while Ill people had re-
ceived injuries in a total OF 700
wrecks.
Distressing momentarily to the
subject Of child delinquency, the
speaker said that recent events
had prove to him that parents
too, are delinquent in their duties
to their children. To the elders.
Captain Davis offered a word OF
warning that obedience to TRAFFIC
regulations is of paramount Inn
portance if the traffic accidents
are to be lowered and that every
one should remember his ABCs-
Always Be Careful.
In closing, Captain Davis ap-
pealed 10 his audience to look upon
all children as they would their
own-to safeguard them at all times.
Reporting on the safety program
of last Saturday, Kiwanian Jack
Hope said the Chief Casteen had
told him that the children taking
part had been orderly; that the
demonstrations on safety were well
carried out under Captain Davis
direetion~and suggested that the
event, undeT-Kiwan.s club or other
sponsorship, be made an annual
affair.

Of the movement to establish a
Junior college in Wilmington by
Wilbur Dosher, copies OF the ad-
dress made BY T. T. Hamilton, Jr..
in support of the plan at a recent
mass meeting in New Hanover
High school auditorium were dis
tributed among the membership.
The address, which set forth that
the proposal to establish a Junior
college in Wilmington is one o. the
most forward-looking steps waich
has been taken in our community
in recent years, Is brim-full of i'm
portant data as well as ccmpre-

change. The election was remark
able for the lack of clearly defin.
ed alternative programs. The
vote was against the "Ins" with
out requiring specifications of
what the Outs" had to offer.
Yet there we're sound instincts
in the public's action. There was
sense that a long term in Office
had either achieved the ends or
removed the meaning Of the New
Deal. The Republican-conservs-
tive Democrat coalition in Con-
gress had blocked the Truman
program but was not carrying
through any of its own. The
President had banked on repair
ing the Roosevelt laxity in ad-
ministration. but even there the
signs of Confusion. fumbIing and
office. holding deadwood multiple
ed.
Thus, while accumulated dis.
contents. particularly with con-
trolls and strikes, accounted for
much of the desire for change,
this election was not the result
of mere irritations over. a short
age of meat. 1t expressed some
establishment with the results
of the war, but was by no means
a mandate to reverse recent for
eign policy and return to isola-
tionism. for foreign policy has
been very clearly on a nonpar-
tisn basis.
The next two years will pre-
sent a challenging test of the
American system of representa-
tive government. For it will be
definitely a period of congress-
ional dominance. A president of
the opposition party will remain
in the White House until l949,
but Congress will have the real
mandate and power for positive
action.
There can be a period of sitting
still. waiting for things to settle
down. There can be a t me of
stalemste with Congress q n d
President battling on partisan
lines. But the public will hardly
be satisfied with such a result.
The mandate may have been con-
sentative, but it was not mega
tive.

The National Election

The American people have re-
versed the political trend they
had followed since 1880. W it b
ballots instead of bullets t b ey
have achieved a peaceful revolu-
ton. No lesser term adequately
measures the Republican victory.
A tide which had begun to turn
even before the war quietly rose
higher even than most Repub-
lican leaders had hoped, swept
that party into COVER in b o t b
houses of Congress, aud engulf-
ed most of the state governments
outside the still sold South.
At a time when m o of the
world has been swinging left
ward. the Unite d States has
turned snarply right. In period
when nations all over the globe
have shown a disposition to ex-
pertinent with various forms of
regime ntation, the American
people have revolted against
governmental controls.
How far-reaching and perma-
nent is this revolution likely to
be? One answer is sure to be
found in the success with which
present prosperity is stabilized.
1t is unlikely that there will be
a real economic ID u 9 t" in the
next year or two. But neither in
this election or in any other re-
cent development has there been
evidence that the American
people have learned how to pre-
vent economic depression a n d
wi espre a d unemploy ment.
Neither is there much indication
that politicians-of either party
are prepared to resist the con.
tinuing pressures of special in
terests which pust the Nation
toward socialism.
The result has been due plainly
to an inchoate d e m a n d fol-

Experiment

Naturalization Of industry is the
big issue in England. The Labor
government, elected last year on a
naturalization platform, is proceed
ing to carry out the program as
rapidly as possible. Some sectors
of American thought are advocating
the same measures for our country
For this reason it is my belief that
many readers of this column will
find interest in the progress of this
socialistic program in England.
First step was the naturalization
of the Bank of England, upon which
the government long has relied for
more or less of its own financing,
particularly has it obtained large
short-term loans for years. The
banks stock belonged to private in
dividuals and had been paying about
80 interest. The government did
not evaluate the bank, but Simply
took over all the stock, giving to
all former owners bonds equal to
the market value Of the stock and
bearing per cent. The invaluable
hidden assets which invariably &C
crue to such an institution went 10
the government without remunera-
ton to the former stockholders.
Danger Present
The Bank of England also was
given power to require other banks
of the country to accept such bank
ing policies as it might decide
to issue. Some experienced bank
ers fear that the day may come when
the government, because of extern
sive deficit financing, will advocate
unsound banking policies which
would react badly upon the finan-
cial status of the United Kingdom.
Policies already adopted by the.
bank have led to the discontinuing
interest formerly paid on deposits
and savings accounts.
Industries slated for nationaliza-
ton by the Labor government are:
ID Transportation, including rail-
roads, transport buses, street-cars,
canal barges, and coastal shipping,
(2) Utilities, including production
and distribution of electric power
and the operation of water systems
throughout the Kingdom, (3) The
iron and steel industry, and az Civil
aviation.
Complications in Steel
Perhaps the most complex prob
lens for naturalization are pre-
scented by the iron and steel indus
try. This is a highly skilled craft,
requiring skills and krow-how to be
found only in the present manage
ment of the industry. Many impor-
tant but closely related industries in
manufacturing, from needles to To-
comotives, would be affected.
One government economist told
me that the government would take
over production of steel and iron I'D
to the point where the metal was al
lowed to cool, regardless of the form
in which that might be. However,
another economist stated that this
policy would draw the line of de-
marcation for nationalized industry
right through the center of some
plants which were accustomed to
using continuous process until
metals were actually shaped into
materials for sale.
Some observers in England think
difficulties will be so great that the
government finally will give up the
scheme Of Matchmaking the iron and
steel industries. In fact. the gov
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1946-11-22

eminent has recently indicated the
scheme would be postponed for at
least four years. One steel opera
tor ventured that production per
man-hour would certainly 60 down
when and if the government took
over. One of his reasons was that
the workers would be at points en-
tircly too far removed from the
source OF authority. He also af-
firmed that in his opinion workers
did not like the idea of nationaliza-
ton.

Soaking WaShableS

Comparatively few washahles
need soaking and then not for
more than 20 minutes. Extensive
laundering research indicates that
prolonged soaking opens the fibers
and permits the soil to become
more deeply lodged, thus making it
more difficult to remove.
