ABOUT COMMUNISM
To The Editor:
We hear much about commu-
nism nowadays but little seems to
be known about it by the ordinary
citizen.
Apparently its fundamental
principals are that communism
hates God and all forms Of relie-
ion, Protestant, Catholic or Jewish,
and is opposed to any individual
owning private property.
Communism believes that a
central government with a world
dictatorship at Moscow must have
eouplete control and power over
the people.
1t does not GLOW freedom of
speech, freedom Of press or trial
by jury.
It has mercilessly prosecuted
millions of Christians.
Communism is atheistic, anti
christian, and undoubtedly un-
American.
Congress should outlaw the com
munist party in the United States.
Everyone who is loyal to the
American form of government will
do well to ask his Congressman to
preserve and guard our Ameri-
can form of government from COM

Treat For The Band

A great treat is in store for the Hiob
school band when it accompanies tho
football team to. Durham for ton;ob+,s
game and participates in the "paradeu
between halls of the Wake Forest-Duko
game tomorrow afternoon.
1t can be hoped that the practice of
sending the band with the Wildcats
when the team plays away from home
will now be adopted. The custom is
quite general.
The presence Of the band would not
only lend color to the games but he
good for the teams morale. A little mar
tial music is always ENCOURAGING.
If it is possible to send the band on
other expeditions such as it is TODAY

TOP O.. THE MORNING

Now the green substance has left the
leaves and by another process, strange
colors which have been hidden all through
the summer are coming to light. Our
trees are now decorated with red and
yellow and brown, as if God had laid his
rainbow across the forest. The wisest man
cannot fully understand all that takes
place in a simple little leaf. But each one
is a creation of God. As the psalmist said,
''In wisdom hast Thou made them ALL"
AS we learn more Of the secrets of nature.
we have a greater admiration for the God
who made all things.
From DAY by Day.

Welcome Teachers

New Hanover High school and the
people of Wilmington are proud to be
hosts to the southeastern district of the
North Carolina Education Association
convention which will open with the
presidents dinner at noon today. While
the teachers have a program which will
afford them little time for diversion it
is hoped they will find it possible to
visit at least n of the county's beaches
and especially make a trip through
Greenfield park, where the cypress was
never more beautiful.
With thirteen counties i IN the SOUTH
eastern district there will be all of a
thousand teachers at the convention. It
could be wished that the municipal audi
forum were built, instead of projected,
for their accommodation, but what with
a war and the CAB and other adverse
influences, the great community hall 50
long needed is still in the dream stage.
However the High school auditorium
Will seat a thousand persons comfort
ably, as the Community Concert Asso-
cation attendance regularly proves.
But with such a throng of visitors
as is now arriving, the authorities with
the auditorium in charge will have the
more reason to speed the project by

The South can well be proud
of its two women Life Masters. Mrs.
Wilkinson Wagar of Atlanta, Ca.
Life Master No. 81, is president Of
the women's national committee of
the American Contract Bridge
League and holds the world cham
pioaship Masters team-of-four title.
Mrs. J. E. Folline of Richmond,
Va, a very fine player, is life
Master No. 81. I predict that either
or both of these girls will walk away
with a championship at the forth
coming Winter Nationals to be held
Dec. 8 to IS at the Hollywood Beach
Hotel, Hollywood, Fla.
Mrs. Folline made a fine score
on today's hand. She allowed the
queen of diamonds to hold the
first trick, then covered the jack
of diamonds VITA dummy's king.
East was forced to play the ace
and Mrs. Folline trumped it.
Next she cashed the ace of
hearts and led a small heart to
dummy's jack. The nine of dla-
monds was played from dummy.
and on this Mrs. Folline discarded
the four of clubs Now there was
no play that West could make that
would defeat the contract.
At Mrs. .Wagar's table, she sat
East and defeated this hand.
When deelarer failed to cover the
opening diamond lead with dunn
my's king, Mrs. Wagar sensed that
there was a reason behind it and
that d%eclarer did not want East in
the lead. Thereafter she overlook
her partners queen with the ace
OF diamonds, and led the queen
OF clubs. Thus East and West
were able to take the first four
tricks.
When a player fails to make
what might be termed the OBJ
vlous play. it is time to put on
your thinking cap and figure out
the logic behind the play. If you
do this, you will defeat more con-
tracts.

A Suicidal Course
(Seattle Post t-Intelligencer)

THE AMERICAN nation seems to be now pursuing, the verge of doing so the same suicidal course with respect to national defense it followed after the First World War.
 The war department has just reduced it's ground force units in the United States by 38000 officers and for so-called 'economy" reasons
 If the terms of the draft extension act fulfilled by next July the American army will have more than
 million officers and men, and the American navy will have scant half mlon-both including the aviation establishments
 This is not sufficient force to either keep America out of give the country any of victory if it becomes involved in war
 So it is not safe defense establishment and it is not economy to maintain it on such deficient basis-and the country is not only rskng its in the pursuit of such policy but it's very life.
 Senator Ball of Minnesota has said that the linita- tons placed the armed forces by the draft extension act are dangerously low, and he is right.
 In urging that the appropriations and personnel of the armed forces be revised upward in proportion the grim and omnous trend of world events Senator Ball is speaking the voice of not merely wisdom but utter necessity.
 The British are showing greater awareness of their continuing danger and their consequent need for ade quate defense than are, avoiding demobizaton the point of disntegraon and retaining conscrpton in fulfillment of national policy in which the govern ment has the support of it's opposition.
 The brutal fact is that the is not yet at least there yet none of the nstrumenaties of enduring peace-and until world peace is established that be relied upon by peaceful natons the armed forces of the United States must be kept powerful.
 The new Republican Congress, which has properly pledged economy to the nation, and should keep its pledge, has wealth of opportunity to do the lush fields of nefficency and waste which the New Deal exploited so assiduousy.
 It should not practice economy at the expense of na- tional safety.

What UniOnism Really Means
(Rocky Mountain NeWs)

from longer view than appears in each of these recur rent crises
 What is the essential and ultimate aim of unionism It is believe not merely economic but spiritual It in wolves the universal desire for human dignity It isn't dollars alone bread alone It is part and parcel of the long crusade which dethroned the yrant kings and ated democracy.
 Man does not live at peace with himself a slave, underng just hireling He yearns for the right to look every other man in the eye as an equal
 Through unonization the industrial worker has achieved economic improvement. But spiritually in many possibly most unonS-he has achieved little or nothing He has changed bosses But has he gained the self-respect to which he aspires? He has merely sub sued the union boss for the factory boss He is still subservent to his master he to his old-in many cases more so.
 In union meetings he is slapped down, he was be- fore by the factory boss in the days when there unions If he raises his voice against the union Headers he is booed and browbeaten Though he may have gain ed economically, he still can't be himself spiritually.
 So he is bewdered and frustrated. He is caught in epic struggle for power between his union boss and his factory boss struggl yet undecided.
 In this struggle though he suspects that he has been cheated of his fundamental desire, though he realizes increasingly that he has traded master for another he is not yet ready to withdraw his royalties from a which promised to achieve his need for both homie progress and human dignity.
 In his growing doubt, however, may be found the mo- tive for spiress endeavor, the showdown, which has plagued production.
 New union legislation to be sound, should not seek to curb unionism but to support it and purge it of the autocrats who have perverted it's aims
 To this end, democratic principles must be applied the secret ballot must be substituted for the throw himout type of union meetng the democratic right to free American to give withdraw his support for organization as he chooses the democratic right the obligation to vote and participate actively in the a fairs of his organization so long he gives it his ale glance the democratic right to have his part in contro ing his union affairs and to stand the equal of any man. whether he be the head of the factory the head of the union.
 Such measures which involve the abolition of all forms of compusion to union membership would not union autocrats say weaken the bargaining position of unions.
 This would instead strengthen the bargaining posi- tion of the individual and through him, rather than through his union boss, strengthen the position of his organization.
 There must be attempt to restore the old, auto cratic powers of the factory head We hope most indus traliss convinced of that But the right of free American to be treated such must be established and for a
 Else our vaunted production system is finished these will not forever work in bondage, either the bondage of the factory boss or the union boss.

A request for 1851 900 was turned
down by the committee after Sena-

Congress had previously author
lied Government help to the CEN

Commissioners, who have opposed
