Though reliable statistics from
abroad are not readily available,
about two-thirds of all life insur-
ance in the world is owned by citi-
zens of this country. Claris Adams,
president of the American Life con-
vention, declared.
Supporting his statement, he said
that at the end of 1915 II million
Americans owned life insurance,
that is, more than one-hah the

Military Tribunal
Imposes Burden

The chief burden which the mill
tary tribunal imposes on the town
and the one which presses down
hard on the mayor, derives from
the fact that it takes a lot of tons,
volts and manpower to keep the
wheels of justice moving.
Coal is Nuernberg's (as it is Ger
many's) chief problem. What the
Russians didn't get out in their
zone, the chief coal areas in Ger
many, the French have taken in
theirs. Transportation has broken
down. Without fuel to heat their
homes or to cook with, Nuernber-
gers have bought up every sort OF
electrical heater and cooker and this
plus the large amount of power used
by the Americans has put ter
rifle drain not only on the power
plants but the cables. It takes coal
to make electricity here where
there are no tumbling cataracts. AS
I write the snow is falling in great
Christmas card flakes and even the
ruined houses are assuming a touch
of beauty. But that beauty is of lit
tie comfort to people living in eel
lars or rooms without roofs.
Half of Nuernberg's houses were
destroyed, the mayor told me, a
third partly demolished. The rest
can be made lvable. But alas, the
military tribunal took over one-third
of the labor available for building
and repair and a large. stock of
materials.
A two hour walk through the city
revealed no shops open except a few
food and meat stores. In spite Of
this almost total eclipse of visible
industrial existence was surprised
that the mayor placed first on
his list of detectives, a restoration
of Nuernberg's long established
reputation for expert craftsmanship
for goods of high quality. Toys,
of course, but also precision instru-
ments, light machinery and pot
terry. ~,
"We cannot restore Nuernberg's
beauty, its historical buildings
which brought so many tourists
here" said Mayor Ziegler, "but we
can win back our reputation as
hard workers and fine workers. The
city has a long established record
for industriousness and expert handi-
craft as producers of high quality
goods. That reputation goes back to
the middle ages. Of course we will
have to be very patient. We must
first rehabilitate our city, then we
must wait for good raw materials
which we must have to produce high
quality products. And of course all
this must wait until Germany is
once more permitted to trade in
world markets"
But, I interjected at this point,
what about the food situation? That
wasn't in the mayors province. He
took the view which later proved
sound enough, that America would
not let the Germans starve. II that

minister, against background of
great blue curtains set off by huge
gilded globe surrounded by olive
branches, the United Nations organ
ization officially got underway with
the election of Foreign Minister
Paul Henri Spaak of Belgium as its
president.
In greeting UNO, British Prime
Minister Attlee expressed general
sentiment by declaring that organ
ization represented universal hope
for peace and the prevention of a
third world war which might well
destroy civilization. Unlike the ill
fated league of nations, he said,
UNO's effectiveness will be consid-
erably enhanced from the beginning
by the participation of both the
U. S. and Russia.
Calling for close International col
laboration of nations, Attlee de-
clared that the various governments
should work through UNO instead
of considering it as a detached in
strument of foreign policy to be
used only as an additional means
for obtaining an end.
A champion of a western bloc of
European nations for economic and
political purposes, Spaak was elect
ed to UNO's presidency by a 20 to
% vote over the Soviet-sponsored
candidate, Foreign Minister Trygve
Lie of Norway.

Dear Peggy
Do you enjoy keeping in touch with people you met during the
Holly Ridge, N. c, only thirty miles from Wilmington, one of the
first commanding officers to take charge out there back in 1941 was
Colonel James B. Crawford. Soon thereafter he and Mrs. Crawford
were known, respected, admired and beloved by the majority of the
came General Crawford. In a letter received yesterday from a mu.
|tual New York friend l heard that General Crawford is now Of terni-
nal leave in New York city, where he has accepted a position as
on Veterans affairs for the SchenIey Distilers corporation
with offices in the Empire State building at $50 Fifth avenue. For the
past two years General and Mrs. Crawford have been stationed in
Washington, D. c., where the General was o N duty a head of the
Armys Discharge Review board. Our sincere good wishes and eternal
gratitude will follow this popular Army couple always for the marvel
Gus care they took of OUR BOYS at Camp Davis and for the whole
hearted way in which they endeared themselves to the Wilminassa
people.

The local Girl Scout organization
has completed plans for their
camping season this year. The
local Council will not offer esta-
blished camping to it's girls this
year because Of the lack of facil-
tiles and a place to camp. To ward
off complete disappointment the
council has contacted other Girl
Scout Councils in North Carolina
and a fair proportion of the girls
have been accepted in out-of-town
camps.
A six weeks period Of Day
which is one phase of Girl
Scout camping program, will be
sponsored by the Council, Jan.
