BY RUTH

A screen star interviewed in New
York told the reporter about the
painless divorce she recently got
in Mexico.
Since the proceedings were con-
Quoted in a language Spanish
which the screen beauty couldn't
understand, she didn't even have
to concentrate on what was going
on!
She said, Isl, ST." a couple OF
times, and that snapped her marri-
age ties after which the mayor
of the town kissed her hand and sent
he~ forth a free woman.
Divorce isn't quite that simple
in Jul country yet-but it has
been madt painless enough SO that
last year one-third as many per-
sons as were married decided to
try divorce. -.
Not all of them re- able to GO
to Reno and combine a divorce
with a gay vacation. But even so,
the divorce was probably pretty
painless.
The divorcing partners didn'1
need to worry that their divorced
status would make them less So
cially acceptable.
They didn't need to fear thai
having one marriage failure
charged against them would tag
them as poor marital risks.
Marriage experts may so regard
them, but most people today. look
on a divorce as an unfortunate

Topic OF
Auxiliary Meeting

Community Service was the
subject of the monthly meeting of
the American Legion Auxiliary
Tuesday evening. Miss Lucy L.
Nash, executive secretary of the
tuberculosis and Health Associa-
ton of New Hanover county,
spoke on the control of tubercu-
losis. Miss Nash pointed out that
every n could do their part by
speaking before groups and organi-
cations with which they we're af-
filiated and talking to individuals.
To help prevent the spread OF
the dread disease, Miss Nash said
that each person should have a
chest X-ray at least once a year.
This service is free of charge and
is available on Monday and Thurs
day mornings at the County Health
department, and has been made
possible by the New Hanover
Tuberculosis and Health associa-
ton.
. Emmett Bellamy spoke on the
need of a Tuberculo; sis Sanatorium
in this community. State sana-
forums are inadequate and there
is a crying need for a sanatorium,
if this county is to become a COM
pletely healthy one, said Mr.. Bel
lamy.,
Rev. Mortimer Glover spoke to
the group about the Community
Chest drive which is to begin Octo-
Der 18th extending through Octo-
Der 25th. He spoke of the benefit
the community derives from the
services of the Community Chest
agencies and pointed out that even
though the goal Is lower this year,
there is a great need for all te
take part in this campaign, anc
an investment in the Community
Chess; an investment in the wei
fare of this community, said Rev
Glover.
A social hour followed the ad'
journment of the meeting. Mrs. c
L. Holland is community service
chairman and arranged the pro
gram for the meeting.

Bird Club Speaker
PIeases Group

The Wilmington Bird club held
it's opening fall meeting in the
biology room of the New Hanover
High school on Tuesday evening.
After a short business session
Mrs. Cecil Appleberry, the presi-
dent of the club, turned the meet
ing over to George T. Clark, the
guest speaker. Mr.. Clark handled
his subject, Habits and Field
Identification of Wild Ducks in the
Cape Fear Region" Informally
but as an expert.
Among the points that Mr.. Clark
brought out in his talk was the
difficulty of Identifying ducks
while sitting on the water. He
grouped them in pairs most often
confused and told of the peculiarly
Of each species. AS an example he
cited the ring-necked Or r~lng-bllled
duck which is often mistaken fo-
the scaup, and he told how in flight
the ring-bill jumps from the water
showing a gray wing war while the
scaup skins the water before rising
and shows a white wing bar. The
Bufflehead was our smallest duck
ana the black duck the largest.
Other ducks identified we're the
Mallard, pin tail, red head, canvas
back, green winged teal. blue wing
ed teal, American, red breasted,
and hooded merhansers, scoters,
ruddy duck and American golden
eye.
During Mr.. Clark's talk Miss
Lena Taylor of the High school
faculty. showed colored plates OF
the birds on the screen, and after
wards invited the members to eX-
anime the exhibits of mounted
birds in the class room.
Kenneth Sprunt told an interest
ing story that he and Swift Boat
wright had experienced about "a
wood ducs on Orion Pond.
The Wilmington Bird club was
formed on May 10, 1945 under the
sponsorship of the Cape Fear Gar
den club but was not formally or
ganized until February Is, 1916
when the club was fortunate enough
to secure the services of MI. Grego-
Rohwer as consultant ornithologlst.
Since then the club has organized
Junior Audubon clubs, sent speak
ers into the public schools, con-
Quoted field trips and had classes
in bird song and Identification. On
Nav II and 10, 1916 the club was
host to the State Bird club for Its
spring field trip.
