The River Channel

The deepening and widening of the
Cape Fear channel, which is provided
for with a million-dollar appropriation,
and which will get under way about
September l, will greatly advance Will
mington's port development.
Particularly will it assure easy pass
age for average cargo vessels to and
from the terminals and other essential
facilities included in the schedule of the
North Carolina Ports Authority, and
place this city in an improved situation
for competition in water-borne freight
with other South Atlantic ports.
With the setting of an approximate
date for the start of this work, Will
mingtonians can renew their cherished
hope of heavy commerce, from which
all of the city's business will reap bene-
fit.
The present project, as noted, will
serve average ship needs. The chief
source of port business which it will
not take care of is the larger oil tank
ers needing greater depth. With new
oil terminals to be created here by addi-
tional petroleum companies, it is OBJ
vious that the effort to secure a thirty
five foot channel, which has already
taken definite form, must be carried
on to success, if the port is to take full
advantage of it's port opportunity.
Once the present dredging project
is completed it is to be expected the
states delegation in Congress and resi-
dents in all sections, who cannot fail
to profit from major port activity, will
combine forces to secur the additional
appropriation for the greater Cape
Fear channel depth.

There Are Exceptions

Domestic airlines are making gains
in revenue and net earnings. For ex-
ample, National Airlines, according to
a report in the Wall Street Journal, had
a net profit of $234,OO0 in April, "mak-
ing four months earnings equal to
$4,000 after tax adjustments" (The
quotation is from the Journal. 1t is not
explained whether the figures are the
papers or actually from the company's
report.)
What is of great interest is that the
eompany's improved business is credit
ed to the use of four-engine planes.
This is the case with other lines shar-
ing the increase in patronage. The
four-engine plane appears to offer the
solution of many airline problems-ex-
cept one. The operating companies are
continually harassed with last minute
cancellations, so that their planes take
off with empty seats.
The Journal notes:
"Planes often have empty seats when
advance reservations were difficult to
obtain. On New York WASHINGTON
flights as many as seven
have failed to claim their places on one
81 passenger plane. Some managements
are in favor of levying 10 per cent
penalties against unused tickets which
are not cancelled within the prescribed
time limit"
Whether such a penalty could be
applied would depend chiefly on indus
try-wide cooperation. Several of the
carriers are already Tightening cancel.
lation regulations by urging prospective
passengers to give more than last.

step, especially as the demand for seats

A Slip Of The Tongue

Chester Bowles, former OPA admin
s%trator, now sterilization director, is an
earnest soul, fully convinced of the
eternal fitness of his opinions, but he
made a tactical error when he referred
to some amendments to new price legis-
lation as BOBBY traps which would blow
up in our faces.
We are not prepared to argue the
amendments are wise or foolish. What
we desire to point out is that the OPA,
IN its wilder period, planted so many
BOBBY traps that blew up in the face
of an outraged public that MI. Bowles
did not help the effort to have it ex-
tended by his reference to them.

Atomic Quarrel

Russia's position or the Baruch pro-
posal for eradication of atomic war
fare through world agreement is remi-
niscent of Wendell Wilkes chief cam
paign blunder when he sought to wrest
the presidency from President Roose-
welt. Mr.. Wilkie seemed to. be saying
much of the time that President Roose-
welt was doing all right but he could do
better. Now Russia wants atomic war
fare made improbable, Git can't be made
impossible) not by the Baruch plan but
one of it's own.
Is greater proof of the impracticabili-
ty of the Baruch proposal needed than
Russia's antagonism to it?
There is certainly nothing in the
present state of the world to warrant
the belief that the time is ripe to aban-
dol the atomic bomb, or it's formula.
1t is sheer folly to assume an arson
list can be reformed by taking his
matches away.

The sole run-off election in the after
math of the May primaries is to be held
tomorrow. The candidates are James
Jordan and David F. Sandlin, who poll
ed the largest number of votes on MAY
rs. They seek the office of constable.
The election will be held in all af-
fected precincts. Voters are encourag-
ed to turn out in force. While a major
office is not involved, the constable is
as much a part of the body polite as
the highest and should have equal con-
sideration by the electorate.

Weather Can Also Become A Condition
OfTheM Mind, EuenD own To Hurricanes

Of course, you wouldn't want to risk
that 10 per cent in the face of a
hurricane, I don't suppose, but ]
do.
Once, some 10 years ago, I re-
ceived a wire from the Weather
Bureau that the height, center, OF
a scheduled hurricane would hit my
place at three a. m. With the an
ticipation borne of fear 1 was
properly frightened through the
late evening and early morning
hours and my fright reached a
%crescendo at exactly three a. m.
From then until daylight I could
actually feel the fear draining out
of my being until at nine a. m.
decided to venture forth to my
work.
And as I ventured forth I noted.
without too much alarm, that trees
and telephone poles were falling
down all around me; that the wind
was doing a pretty good job of
bowling. But all this didn't faze
me. The Weather Bureau had in
formed me the height of the hur-
ricane would be reached at three
a. M, and no amount OF trees
and poles falling and wind bowling
was going to cause me to zee one
whit from my faith in the Weather
Bureau.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-06-21
BY JOHN SKIES

Mainly, I leave the matter of
weather to Mr.. Paul Hess, the local
m~eteoro1ogist who has been taking
care of the job for quite some time
and who, thanks be, intersperses
his forecasts with a sly and refresh
ing brand of humor.
But because I've just u across
a story that says this, meaning
now. is the hurricane season and
because I'm a beach dweller, l
thought I'd just as well stick a
wet finger in the wind, myself.
A lot of the folks Who come down
from upstate to Wrightsville and
Carolina Beaches start running for
cover the minute a hatful of breeze
sWooshes out of any point of the
compass. They gather their chicks
and childer to them and prepare
to trek into the hinterland where,
they feel, they'll get away from a
bad blow.
Well, I'm not like this. Don't
get the idea I'm not afraid of hur-
ricanes because l am. In one of
the few original statements l ever
recall making l said that it is
nerve-wracking to be caught in a
hurricane because there isn't a
doggone thing you can do about it,
However, l have SO much faith
in the likes of Mr.. Hess that I'm
willing to abide docilely by what
they say in regards to a hurricane.
If MI. Hess tells me, a couple Of
hours beforehand, a hurricane is
going to strike my shack on the
beach at exactly one p. m. l make
it a point to batten everything
down just exactly on the minute. I
have such a methodic mind, and
trusting soul, that l believe those
boys hit everything they say about
the weather on the dot.
AS an actual fact, the U. S.
Weather Bureau does have a record
of close to 80 percent accuracy.

Big Business
matches away.

On July 8, 1889, John L. Sullivan
beat Jake Kilrain in seventy-five rounds
at Richbourg, Mississippi. They fought
with bare fists. 1t was the last cham
pionship bare knuckle bout under the
London prize ring rules.
When it was over and Kilrain could
talk he was asked by an interested by
stander how much money he received.
Not a red cent" he is reputed to have
answered. Sullivan's take is not avail
able at this time, but as prize fighting
did not reach the proportions of a
major industry until many years later,
it could not have been much.
Wednesday night, Joe Louis emery
ed from a Bronx park allegedly richer
by some $685. 500 after income tax de-
duction, after knocking out Billy Conn
in the eighth round of a scheduled
t1fteen-round championship bout.
Definitely, prize fighting has be-
come big business. It is remarkable
the labor tycoons have not absorbed it
too.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-06-21

! I'm not even meaning to try Il
make a point. But if you happier
to be one of those people VIC
must have a moral served up tc
you with everything you read.
may I suggest that fear of storms
and any discomfort caused by the
weather may just be psychological.
For instance, if I permit myself
to lose sight of the fact that the
weather mar has forecast hot and
sultry'' for today l can come down
street with a necktie around my
neck and a coat wrapped around
me without any undue discomfort.
I can also do my stipulated duties
without once sweating out to a
colleague an ain't-it-hot.
But just let me read and rem
ember that Mr.. Hess claims its
going to be n of the warmest
days of the year today and I
find myself on the extreme verge
of sitting. If Mr.. Hess says it's
going to be cold ~today-and it
turns out that Mr.. Hess machines
had one of those rare inaccurate
days and the weather is actually
hot and sultry-then so far as
I'm concerned, it's cold.
Then too, if you happen to be one
of those persons who must have
advice with everything you read
let me suggest that you take your
mind off the weather table. If
you've planned a picnic, say,
what's the need of getting out your
almanacs and trying to chart what
kind of weather to expect? If it's
going to rain your picnic is going
to be ruined, anyway, so why try
to disappoint yourself in advance?
When take a trip by plane I
make it a point not to look up the
weather for two or three days in
advance. This is for the simple
reason that, were I to look up the
weather and found that the winds
were going to be high and the
ceiling pretty near zero on the day
OF my trip, I'd go on up in the
plane but I'd be scared witless -
Just n case a scare is needed for
such a condition - all during the
trip, ever if the weather didn't
happen at all.
1 guess fretting over the weather
reports, even hurricane reports,
comes under the same head as
borrowing trouble. I have enough
that commodity to lend. I like
Hess and all that, but I'm
going to leave his weather reports
alone from here on. I've practically
melted away to nothing during the
current heat wave just because |
knew it was coming in advance.

TOP O. THE MORNING

Mr.. A. A. Hyue is one of the outstand-
ing business men of this generation. As a
young man he failed in business. With a
debt of $50, 900 he started all over again.
He drew a line in his Bible around the VOW
of Jacob in Genesis 1922: "Of all that
Thou shalt give me, I will surely give
the tenth unto Thee" He began the manu-
f%acture of a healing salve, calling it Men

BRIDGE
By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Gard Authority

While it does not happen often,
a deuce can b. just as important
as an ace, and in today's hand
deuces play the leading role.
North deserved commentator
for showing no hesitation about
oper his ace of spades, even
though it was from the ace-queen.
The bidding indicated that East
had the king of spades or other
strength to justify his jump to
four hearts.
Now South did not put the six
of spades on the c to start an
echo. He played the deuce, which
said, Partner, do, not lead any
more spades" OF course it could
have asked for q club shift ex-
cept that dummy was void Of clubs.
North played the nine of dia-
monds, the jack was played from
dummy and South won with the
queen. West played the eight,
concealing the four and three.
South knew that if North had held
the 9-4-3-2 of diamonds, he would
have led the deuce; therefore West
was fal5e-carding.
South now led the ace Of dia-
monds and North put on the deuce,
definitely marking him out of dia-
monds. So South could safely lead
another for North to ruff, thus de-
feating the contract.
