Is He Mad?

Can it be that much learning hath
made him mad?" Or is his declaration
that it would be better for New York
citizens to be rendered homeless now
than dead in twenty years the. correct
view, however narrowing it be?
This at least is what DIR. David In
glis atom bomb scientist, holds to be
true. He says an atom bomb should
be dropped on New York and the city
wiped out to shake the American peo-
pie from their lethargy of thought"
It is important that the lethargy
which swept the country after VI
Day and which fingers, despite strikes
and United Nations quarrels, to an
alarming extent be dispelled, but from
this distance it seems that Doctor In
glis proposes to worsen conditions in
stead of improving them.
Knowing so much about the poten-
tialities of atomic bombs, the estimable
scientist appears to have an obsession
concerning them and obviously expects
an atomic war any time within two
decades. Rather than condemning a
great city to extinction, would it not
be wiser for the gentleman and others
possessing great knowledge, especially
of the destructive properties of the
atom, to devote their time to the dis
covery of means for defending hui
mainly against it's frightful powers.

Which Is Right?

When the United States Supreme
Court upheld the death sentence for
Yamashita, the news agencies announc-
ed that the only further action possible
was a review by General Macarthur.
Inasmuch as the case against the
Japanese general had not been heard
by regular Army court marshal, neither
the war department nor the Presi-
dent could intervene. The next news
was that General Macarthur had con-
firmed the sentence and all that re-
manned to be done was to set a date
for the execution.
On top of this, yesterdays papers
announced the Secretary of War had
granted a stay of execution, on petition
of Yamashita's counsel, for the Presi-
dent to consider a plea for clemency
The point that invites explanation is
whether the news agencies were in
error in the first place or whether the
Secretary of War has now exceeded his
authority.

I read the other day that young
Henry Ford uses two new Fords
each day. One to take him to his
work and the other to take him
back home. He explains that he
uses these methods to test the new
cars. I'm not so particular and ]
wouldn't even mind having one Of
the two cars that Mr.. Ford casts
off each day. And if it'd help him
out any I'd be happy to test the
car on Front street, or even on
the river road to Southport. Then,
without charge, I'd be glad to write
him the results of my tests.
You see, if everybody were as
responsive as the Dobbs people
there're limitless opportunities.
There's the matter of a beach cot
tage. Or a nice apartment. Even
a yacht.
It doesn't hurt any to have my

Gus folks, sent me the cap. This

wear it, and give me credit on

years wears out and I'll need an.

1t was right thoughtful of the

Open The Doors

Secret sessions of groups existing
to deal with and decide upon matters
affecting the public inevitably come
under suspicion.
The only way to avoid this is bv
observance of President Wilson's doc
trlne of "open covenants openly arrived
at"
A case in point is the action of the
North Carolina High School Athletic
Associations Eligibility Committee,
which met in what appropriated a
closed session and decided the New
Hanover High School basket ball team
had played student out of turn and
therefore was barred from further
games with conference teams and that
It's former games would be stricken
from the records.
The press and public were refused
admission, and the decision was taken
despite the Association secretarv's
previous ruling that the player, al
though certified only for play in the
spring term, but having completed the
mld-term examinations, might play
during the remaining few days of the
fall term.
This hearing, as noted to all intents
and purposes, was held behind closed
doors and the public and press received
only brief statement of the final &C.
ton.
There is nobody but the committee
to blame if it's action is widely held in
suspicion or that vocal charges of pre-
JUDGE are heard.
New Hanover High School authori-
ties have requested rehearing with
the doors wide open. If the association
and especially the eligibility commit.
tee, would avoid this onus it cannot
we'll deny the request.

There are so many things I do
not know about the advertising
business I would not care to enter
any discussion concerning it. This
is something, so far as I'm con-
cerned, that falls strictly within
the jurisdiction of Jimmy Allegood,
the Star-News advertising manag-
er.
However, matter has just come
up that cannot be sloughed off
lightly. In bringing it up I'll be
forced to dip at least lightly into
the realm of advertising.
Some time back there was an
item herein about caps. There was
surprise noted that caps are still
all the 60. Louis Stein, Wilmington
haberdasher, had them displayed
in his window.
Well, when I came down to work
yesterday there was a neat pack
age addressed to me from the
Dobbs Hat company, New York.
Upon opening the package I dis
covered a lovely little number in
camels hair that looked for all

1t just so happens that my par.
ticular type of masculinity will not
set a cap off SO well, or vice versa.
And, of course, maybe it doesn't
matter in the first place. Gives me
a mashed down look.
But I was so interested in the
mechanics of how the Dobbs peo-
pie came to send me the cap, I
took the matter up with Mr.. Stein.
1t seems that a Mr.. Cy Camper,
whose home town is Goldsboro,
sells the Dobbs articles. He hap
pened to be through town and read
the item about caps. He, forthwith,
writes his home office and sends

son died at the age of 81 years
after life that had been the com.
fort and strength of her family,
relatives and friends.
Born January Is, 1852, as Sarah
Wright Simpson, she was the
daughter of Sarah Wright Walker
and Thomas Moss Simpson and
descendant of James Simpson
planter and plantation owner Of
New Hanover, and William Walk.
er, son Of Robert Walker, who
came to this country from Great
Britain about 1876. Robert Walker
was an associate of Colonel Simp-
son who was instrumental in the
colonization of the lower Cape
Fear instituted by one, Henry Nc.
Cul1och. In 1875 Henry McCulloch
and a number of Irish gentlemen
obtained from the King grants in
the province of Carolina for more
than one million acres Of land,
several large tracts being laid Oft
in upper New Hanover, now EN-.
braced in Duplin, Simpson and
what was formerly New Hanover.
now Fender county. Robert Walk.
er was of the same family as that
OF the Protestant hero, the Rev.
George Walker, of Londonderry,
who was distinguished for the part
he took in the heroic defense OF
Londonderry. George Walker was
born in the County of Tyrone in
Ulster province of English parents.
Sarah Wright Simpson began
life without the unselfish love and
comfort of her own mother, who
died at her birth. The years of
her early youth were spent with
her uncle, James Frederick Simp-
son, OF Fender county. She re-
celved her education at a Catholic
convent i'll Wilmington, although
she remained a staunch Presby-
terrain to the end of her life.
There is an old story told, wheth-
er it be fact or fiction, that shortly
after her birth she was being car
rled in a basket from the "old
mouse. to the new house" by a
trusted Negro nanny, when sud
denly a white dove circled the air
above her and finally came to rest
on the edge of the basket. Perhaps

THE MESSAGE OF TIL ERUINS
To tread the ruins Of Ephesus
tends to enlarge ones views OF
time and Of life. Once this place
throbbed with the pulse of a great
city. Proud, arrogant, complac cent,
it was sure of itself as one Of the
permanent forces in human at
fairs. Philosophers might debate
this and that, as they did in the
baths and forum of phesus, and
any one of them might be right
Or wrong; but certainty above
all the speculations of the thinkers
was that the city itself was real
and lasting, rich ane powerful.
Other things might change, but
Ephesus and Diana would abide
forever.
Now behold the ruin! Not a
single living habitation remains in
all this great expanse of the YES
tiges of ancient magnificence. How
the pride of man has been humbl-
ed! Old Ephesus is a sermon in
tumhled stone upon the transform
ness of material might and posses
sions.
To the most thoughtless person
the lesson is clear; Lay up for
yourself treasures in heaven.
where neither moth nor rust doth
corrupt"
It is hard for us, our Father, to
realize the transformers of the
material things which make up so
large a part of our life. Give us
seeing eyes, to envisage the perm
anence of what is spiritual. Amen.

to last by peace, purity and love.
Married at an early age to Hay
wood J. Peterson, of Sampson
county near Clinton. a prosperous
and respected planter, she led a
good and happy life. They made
their home for many years in
Clinton. There their four children
were born, two boys and two girls.
The boys, however, died in in.
fancy. Mr.. Peterson was not des'
tined to long enjoy the compan-
ionship of his young and beautiful
wife and daughters for he was
killed by lightning one day while
supervising his plantation. Left
alone with her two children, the
young widow found herself unable
to cope with the responsibility OF
such large undertaking and some
years after moved to the small
town of Point Caswel. There in.
stead of giving up to her grief and
loneliness she led a busy and fruit
full life. Endowed with kind
heart and loving disposition she
administered to the needy. com.
forted the sick and downhearted
and inextricably wove herself into
the hearts and lives Of her towns
people.
For the past 20 years, Mrs. Pet.
erson has made her home with
her youngest daughter, Mrs.
Thomas R. Debnam, in Norfolk,
Va. Although the victim Of several
accidents which left her slightly
crippled and infirm, she continued
to the last to lead busy and ac-
tive life. A staunch Presbyterian,
as were all her forbears before
her. she was a devout Christian,
and her daughter, Mrs. Debnam.
has etched her name forever on
the roll of the First Presbyterian
church in Glenwood Park, Norfolk,
by installing beautiful pipe organ
in her memory. Every morning
and evening the stirring and love-
ly notes Of this organ are heard
over the community playing the
hymns Mrs. Peterson loved "a
fitting and lasting tribute to the
memory Of one who lived SO close
to God.
Her body was shipped to PIT.
Caswell to rest beside her beloved
''Mr. Peterson as she always so
quantity called him, in the moss
hung little country churchyard,
where she often expressed de-
sire to be buried.
A long and useful life has been
brought to its peaceful close and
