The Ship Yard

w. S. McMahon's address before the
Kiwanis club on Wednesday, in which
he told of the original need for addition
al shipyards, why Wilmington was
chosen by the Newport News Ship
building and Drydock company, an d
traced the production record here from
the turning of the first spadeful of
marsh mud to the present ships on the
ways, was enlightening. If would be
we'll if his remarks could be published
in full in booklet form so that the
achievement of the Mort Carolina
Shipbuilding company might become
more widely known and appreciated. AS
there was no stenographer present to
take down his address, and he spoke
extemporaneously, this might prove a
difficult task, but if accomplished
would certainly open the eyes of thous-
ands of people who have taken the
shipyard for granted ever since the
flrst launching.
Especial value would attach to such
booklet as it would stop so much talk
about the yards closing and set people
to thinking and talking of ways and
means for promoting it's continued op-
GRAFTON indefinitely.
1t is already designated as the plant
for maintaining the Maritime Commits
sion ships that will be moored in the
special Basins being prepared in the
Brunswick river. With a drydock, it
would also have an important part IN
building up commerce, as ships OF call
would then have no need to travel far
for overhauling.
AS a repair and service plant, the
shipyard could remain in operation a
long time, provided it received the &C
tive support Of the people generally
and shipping interests specifically.

SERVICE MOTHERS
SAY NATION NEEDS
DADDY HOME" CLUB

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-(P-
Four determined young women
with fire IN their eyes and soldier
husbands overseas decided today
that what this country needs is a
national Bring Back Daddy
club.
They said they haven't got very
far in making specific plans, but
we're moving fast. Two days
ago we hadn't even met a gen
eral.''
Now they have met three gen
erals Gncluding the boss of them
all, Dwight Eisenhower, one ad-
miral "a whole batch of colonels,"
and assorted senators and repre-
sentatives.
Eisenhower said he'd talk to
them again, possibly today. Their
first meeting with the army chief
Of staff was fleeing, as he was on
his way to House committee
room in the capitol to testify about
rehabilitation.
Mrs. Nancy Mueller Of Pitts
burgh told reporter the whole
thing started after Eisenhower

last week.
There wasn't word in it about

So her Pittsburgh group, the Ser

ing. They got more and more
indignant.
Finally, said Mrs. Mueller, they
decided they'd get better results
if they had unified action. They
voted to send wires to similar
organizations, such as the Service
Fathers Release Association in
Seattle and the Bring Back Daddy
club in Chicago.
The wires asked: why don't we

Religion
DayByDay
TWO BOOKS
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS


At the moment, l am reading
two books. One, sent by friend,
is tough theological tome. I
would better not name it, for it
has merits which ADLER minds than
mine can discern. It is theology in
toughest form, the sort of thing
the brilliant Church Fathers"
wrestled with. It's themes are the
profoundest and its scholarship
real, even if the train of its
thought does often run off the
track.
But it is all too technical and
too obscure. The average person
can get nothing out of it because
of its specialized language. 1t
reeks Of the midnight lamp.
On the other hand, the second
book is delight unlimited. IT is
called "a Book About The Bible"
and it is written by veteran
Washington news paper man,
George Simpson, former presi-
dent of the National Press Club.
Harpers is the publisher and the
price is $3.50.
Only newspaper man, after a
life time of fact finding, could
nave written this book. its ap-
proach is as unusual as its vast
assortment of facts are important.
1t is highly readable, and written
1or the average reader, in the fin
est journalistic style. / find it a
hard book to lay down. I am CRATE
Iu1 10 tne secretary of the Ameri-
can Bible Society who recon-
mended it to me. For it is an
absolutely ique volume of
priceless worth to every SUNDAY
School teacher, preacher or alert
general reader.
And it contrasts with nv book
on theology in that it makes it's
basic subject interesting.
We thank Thee, Heavenly
Father, for the men who are wise
In Thy word; and especially for
those who know how to make It
interesting. Amen.

STREET NAMES

~ eAAS LO1lOI
Concerning the names of streets:
Carolina Beach boulevard has
been so called for a long time
and the name is altogether appro-
pirate. We have Wrightsville
avenue beginning at 18th street
and running to Wrightsville Beach.
Carolina Beach boulevard should
begin at Third and Greenfield
and continue to be so called all
the way to Carolina Beach. At
present the couple of blocks from
Third and Greenfield south is
called Park avenue, which means
nothing. If it is desired to continue
the numbered streets south of the
lake, Third street could pick up
opposite the present Third street
terminus at the northern edge OF
the lake.

Fighting Bigotry
BY BORIS SINCLAIR

Two books against racial hatred
in the United States are now at
tracing wide attention one
of them is Margaret Halsey's
"Color Blind" published by Simon
and Schuster The other is
"C.lass House of Prejudice" by
Dorothy w. Baruch, published by
William Morrow & Co. They
both analyze the psychological
factors underlying bigotry, and
each author in her own way shows
that it is possible to cure racial
prejudice and to talk people out
of it Miss Halsey's book deals
primarily with anti-Negro feel
ings and with her experience in
combating racial prejudice a
rlong servicemen in the Stage
Door canteen during the war g.
Miss Baruch's volume deals with
both anti-Negro and antl-JeWish
feelings She cites cases of
anti Semitism in the streets and
in school, and, as a practicing
psychologist, deals with the prob
lem of hostility against minorities.
She even puts the reader to
the test by asking him number
of questions, the answers to which
by themselves establish to what
extent he is preiudiced . /. The
fact that both of these books are
among the non-fiction best sellers
indicated that the racial problem
is provoking serious interest. In
this respect, both volumes will, no
doubt, be welcomed by all liberal
elements who would like to see
bigotry vanish.

The story of the Bach Choir Is a
remarkable one, going back to De-
cember, 1898, when it was organized
by j. Fred Wolfe, who was its only
conductor until the time of his
death a few years ago. 1t was the
outgrowth of former group known
as the Bethlehem Choral Union,
which was disbanded when the
singers refused to learn the Mass
because of its difficulties. Having
previously given the "St. John Pas
sion," the "St. Matthew Passion"
and the Christmas Oratorio," DR..
Wolfe was adamant in wishing to
have his group sing the greatest of
Bach's works. When the singers
resistance could not be overcome, he
resigned.
For five years nothing was done
until group of 80 selected singers
agreed to study the Mass" if DR..
Wolfe would lead them. The re-
hearsals covered a period of IA
months, and the great work was
finally presented to the public in
1900. DR.. Wolle's absence in Cali
fornia caused another hiatus in the
Bethlehem concerts until Charles

series of American music in the Ma
tional Gallery of Art will be piano

at o'clock. His program will fea-
ture mainly works by older Ameri-
can composers.
After having specialized in pre-
senting a panorama of the history
Of music in several series of lecture
recitals, with emphasis on the medi-
eval period and the Goth century,
Mr.. Kirkpatrick was led to q study
OF the music of this country, which
he considers holds the richest po-
tentialities in the Occidental world.
His intimate acquaintance with
foremost American composers gives
him a special understanding of
their compositions.
His successful first performance
Of Charles Ives Sonata No. O."
known as the Concord, Mass, 1340-
60" an impression of Americas
great writer's, Emerson. Hawthorne.
the Alcotts and Walden, received
enthusiastic acclaim from press and
public in 1899 and led to his other
appearances in various festivals of
music in Princeton, New York and
Yaddo, where he played Harris
sonata at the first festival.
Two American works on Mr.. Kirk
patrick's program will have their
Washington premiere tonight, the
Concord Sonata" in question and
Ross Lee Finney's Sonata No. g."
which will open the program. A
former student of the Fontainebleau
American Conservatory in Paris and
Of Louta Nouneberg, one of Lesche-

made serious contribution toward
