Fire Box Contract

Judge Parker's dismissal OF ltlga-
ton brought to enjoin the City OF VIII
mington from carrying out it's contract
with the Horni company for purchase
of Ill fire alarm boxes, to be installed
by the Wilmington Electric Supply
Company, clears the City Council OF
charges brought by the Gamewell Com
pany and two residents of Sunset Park.
81 find that the City Council" said
Judge Parker, Sin awarding the con-
tract to the low bidder -. is not guilty
of fraud unfairness, bad faith Or abuse
of discretion. The contract is there
fore legal 80.
The dispute was long-drawn-out and
bitter. Wilmingtonians may draw a
deep breath of gratefulness. that it is
over. Of particular interest is the fact
that all work except actual manufac-
ture. is to be by a Wilmington firm.
1t would be we'll if this custom became
the fixed habit of the city govern
ment in all purchases when it is pos
sible for a local firm to meet the re-
q%uirements of a particular purchase, all
else being equal.
This does not imply that the city
should accept inferior goods or serv-
ices. But it does mean that Whining
ton business houses should be favored
in city contracts if they underbid out
side concerns, can place performance
bonds, and the material of whatever
nature they bid on is of equal quality
with that offered by non-local firms.
Department heads to whom it has
been the custom in the past to refer
bids for goods to be used in their de-
partments are to be encouraged to act
on this principal, with the Council tax
ing a supervisory position in all con-
tract awards.
This fire box contract is an example
to be followed at the City Hall.

McKenney On
BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MckENNY
Americas Gard Authority

I was very happy to see Jul old
friend, Gen. Alfred M. Gruen-
Their, at a recent meeting of the
Board of Directors of War Or
phans Scholarship, Inc, in Wash
ington. General Gruenther is now
deputy commandant of the new
National War College.
After our meeting the General
and 1 talked about bridge, and !
asked him if his bridge strategy
had helped him at all in the war.
He said, well, it makes you
think" and he showed me this I'm
usual hand to prove it.
How many declarers would re
fuse to win the first trump trick?
Yet, if they do win it, they cannot
make the contract. because they
need three entries into dummy
and the club suit must break
three-three.
When West shifted to a spade,
declarer won with the ace, cashed
the C of clubs, played a trump
to dummy and trumped a small
club. Another trump was led to
dummy and the third club
trumped.
Now he still had the ace of
for entry to dummy, SO he
could discard the losing spades on
the three clubs.

Inadequate Draft Bill

Congress has passed a weak bill
continuing selective service until july
l. Teen-age boys are exempted. as are
fathers.
The War Departments requirement
of 1,550,000 men cannot be met within
the time set, which probably means
that men with long foreign service
will have to remain abroad indefinitely,
instead of being returned to their
homes and families as they have had
a right to expect, and by every right
are entitled to.
The legislation which was approv-
ed only six hours before the selective
service law was due to expire was not
favored by the Senate, nor President
Truman, who signed it almost at the
last moment, but was passed to prevent
the consequences of having no draft
law at all in this emergency period.
While boys under twenty are NOT
subject to a call from their draft
boards, there is no legal reason pre-.
venting them from enlisting, save pa.
rental prohibition. With school soon t.
close and considering the unsettled
state Of business and industry, to.

universities will be crowded in the fall

Ring 'em Awake

Have YOU ever driven up behind a
car stopped at an intersection by a red
light and gritted your teeth when the
driver placidly remained stationary
while the light turned green and then
red again? It's a hundred to n you
have.
The other driver may only have
been day-dreaming-a pleasant enough
occupation in the proper place-but
not while you are in the car behind
and trying to meet an engagement on
time. 1t may be, and often is, a merry
conversation on the front seat ahead,
or sometimes two adolescents under
The spell of puppy love. Whatever the
cause, it is inappropriate at signal-con-
rolled intersections.
There is a cure. It consists of ring
;ng a bell whenever the light changes.
It needn't be a raucous bell. Just a little
whirring would do. An alternative
would be to station traffic officers at
signal crossings downtown, as is done
in many, but larger cities, who blow a
whistle as the lights change and lead
the procession from curb to curb. But
this is out of the question here, both
from lack of adequate traffic forces
and the money to employ more. So
the bell seems the reasonable way out.
1t could be operated by the same mech
anism that controls the lights.
1t is fair to think that a nearby tink-
ling or buzzing would bring inert driv-
ers back from whatever happy visions
Or visitations they were enjoying and
start them on their way, to the great
comfort and convenience of drivers in
the rear.

SAN FRANCISCO, May IS. -
U.D-Major Hans George Hornbos-
tel has asked permission to spend
the rest of his life in a leper hos
pital rather than be separated
from his wife who has the dread
disease, it was learned Wednes-
day.
Hornbostel, IS years old, is in
good health and does not have
leprosy. His wife's case still is in
the early stage.
Both had their share of anguish
and pain during the war. Hornbos-
tel, an Army engineer, went
through the fortunes of the Bataan
death march. His wife, meanwhile,
was informed in a Japanese prison
camp in the Philippines, where
she apparently contracted the dis
ease.
Reunited after their ordeal, they
could not face the prospect of be-
ing separated again. Hornbostel
appealed to numerous friends and
influential people, including Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, to help him
gain admission to the leper hos
pital at Carville, La, where his
wife is to be sent. Mrs. Hornbos-
tel said she wanted her husband to
stay with her forever"
DR.. Harvey Hendrickson, who
has treated Mrs. Hornbostel, said
that so far the only sign of her
leprosy is a partial loss of sensa-
ton in her hands. There are no
visible signs of tissue deterioration
yet, he said.
Mrs. Hornbostel is in the isolation
ward of San Francisco hospital,
where her husband has been per-
mitted to visit her. Ordinarily,
visitors to isolation wards must re-
main behind glass plates. The hos
pital made an exception for the
Hornbostels.
The Hornbostel romance began
in 1918 at Guam, where he was a
first sergeant in the U. S. Marine

corps. Her father, a former Prus-
sian army officer, opposed the idea
of his daughter marrying an enlist
ed man.
The father attempted to send
Gertrude away, but she eluded
him and swan to a secret rendez-
vous with Sgt. Hornbostel. They
were married by a Navy chaplain
on Guam.
When World War II broke out,
Hornbostel was a civilian mining
engineer in the Philippines. He
joined the Army Corps of Engi-
neers and was captured by the
japanese at the outset of hostilities.
His wife and members of her
family were informed with other
Allied nationals at Santo Tomas.
She is the mother of three grown
children.
81 hope We'll be able to see our
children at Carville," Mrs. Horn
hostel said. eff not, well, that will
just be another incentive to me to
get well quicker"
She said her husband was 'per-
fectly willing" to run the risk Of
infection.

use our enforced retireme1t to
make up for all the companionship

For Greenfield Improvement

When representatives from all civic
organizations and the press appeared
before the City Council yesterday to
urge full Identification of Greenfield
Park, the Council could be in no doubt
that the people are ready to endorse
the project and support the govern
mental body in including whatever ap-
preparation is necessary to carry it out
when the new budget is prepared.
Doctor Houston Moore, who work.
ed necessarily for years for Green
field, and H. A. Marks, chairman of the
Rotary clubs Greenfield committee,
the park being the clubs chief OBJ
%jective, presented the program which
met such hearty public approval as
reflected in the brief talks by repre-
s~entatives of the organizations pres
ent.
The Council can have no hesitation
in taking necessary action for the
parks improvement through fear of
public opposition or indifference.
The point that should be in every
body's mind is that further neglect of
the park would be extremely costly.
1t is among the city's finest assets. It
could attract thousands of visitors
when the azaleas are in bloom.
But it remained for Doctor Moore
to point out that the city which has
gone in for Identification does not
attract rough or criminal elements but
honest, cultured persons capable of
enjoying its loneliness.
1t was Doctor Moore, too, who told
of some 100000 to 100000 azalea plants
available for setting out along the
southern border of the lake but which,
because of being crowded in. the park
nurseries, are going to waste. The value
of these plants alone is far more than
any amount of money now needed to
carry out the Identification program.
The proposal before the Council is
to undertake a two-year plan. If this is
adopted little time will have to pass
before Greenfield will rival the great
show places Of the South and be as
great a benefit to Wilmington as anv
park or gardens anywhere is to its
city.

Questions and Answers
On Servicemen'S
Problems
By LARSEN

WASHINGTON.-Here are some
questions from veterans regard
ing suplus property:
Q-More than a month ago, I
placed my order Cor a large guam
tity of surplus cotton goods. l had
to go through a lot of red tape
and trouble even to get my order
placed. Since then 1 have heard
that if I do get any of the cotton
1 ordered, 1 will only get a small
fraction of what I asked for. What
can you tell me about this
A The War Assets Admins
tration reports that veterans who
ordered surplus cotton textiles will
receive the full amounts ordered,
in the majority Of cases. Due to
the unusually large number of or
ders received, much time was
taken in screening the orders,
to meet the requirements of CT
william Production Administration
and to carry out the terms Of the
Surplus Property Act.
Q-Before the law was changed
to let veterans bury suplus prop
erty with a second preference, I
placed my order for several items
which I had intended to use in
my business. Since then / have
changed my plans, and I am not
going into business. But I still
would like to have the property 1
ordered. Now that the law has
been change, may I put what I
buy into personal use?
A Orders for surplus property
to be used in a business are filled
before orders for personal use. If
your order claims you will use the
goods for a business, and you then
put them into personal use, you
will have purchased the property
under a fraudulent claim.
Q-Are orders that we're placed
before the surplus property law
was changed going to get the new
preference, or do they have to be
placed again?
Gold orders do not have to
be filed again to qualify for tho
new preference given to veterans
Q-Is a former WAC eligible to
buy surplus property with a pref
erence, and for personal use?
Ayes.
Questions will be answered only
in this space-not by maiI.)

Day By Day
WITH EYES OF COMPASSION
By T. ELLIS

WITH EYES OF COMPASSION
The crowds for whom Christ
cared were no ideal and ever
grateful company of book figures.
They were rough, noisy, jostling,
selfish. bad-mannered, sweaty and
smelly. Many of them were the
riff-raff Of the region
Yet the S e n e, delicate
fibered Jesus, whose natural incli-
nations were for solitude and the
association of congenial spirits, al
ways looked ye%arningly, in the
shepherd spirit, upon the mobs
that beset Him, He longed to help
them in ways beyond their under
standing.
OF late years the whole world
has been going through expert
ences which make heavy drafts
upon the spirit of compassion. I
cannot imagine anybody more
alien to the Kingdom of Heaven
than the man who has thought
only of himself, and of his w
advantage, in these times of need
Every true friend of Christ walks
softly and helpfully through these
days, with compassion in his eve
and service in his hand.
Thou hast set us in the midst
OF the multitude, o Lord: and
their needs Of body and spirit cry
aloud to us. Give us a share ~
Inc compassion Of Christ, that.

men. Amen
