known in social work parlance-
Is helping 100 families with 2ol
children and the cost for the year
1945-4e will amount to $49,3o0, d.
r. Hollis, welfare superintendent,
disclosed. One-haf Of that sum is
paid by the federal government
one-fourth by the state, and one
fourth by the county.
Tracing the history OF the ADO,
Hollis commented that this is per
haps the most satisfactory Of al
the functions OF the Welfare de-
partment, with the possible excep'
ton Of adoptions."
ADO assists children who are
deprived of parental support be-
seuse Of death, illness or absence
from the home Of the person usual
" liable for their support.
The department children's aid is
not new thing in North Carolina.
IL it was being administered
through the welfare departments in
The early twenties under the name
Of Mothers Aid. Under that plan,
the state and county shared equal
Il in the expense and 1t was joint
y administered. The field rep
tesentative from the state depart
tnent visited each case at least
once each year.
Funds were very limited In
Nose days." Hollis explained,
land we could carry only a few
families, but the results were 80
good from the states chat were
Using it that the present aid to
dependent children law was pat
termed after the old Mothers Aid
law"
Prior to passage OF the present
laws, orphanages were the only
resource available for children
deprived of parental support.
Some of our present outstanding
younger citizens of today were
recipients of Mothers Aid back in
hose days, Hollis declared.
1--WE like to think of one family
In particular that we were able
to help and who responded so well
10 this assistance the superin-
sendent continued.
Actual Case Reviewed
Citing an actual case, Hollis
related the story of "Mrs. A., who
was deserted by her husband, leav-
ing her with several children and

or thnn part-time jobs held by the

with the help Of the older chill
dren, plus Mothers Aid, all Of
these children were kept in the
home and in school, and one Of the
outstanding things with regard to
their schooling was the children's
record of no absences and no tard-
les, either in grammar or high
school.
There are few families that
have ever had such good school
records as these children. In ad-
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-02-10

It will be noted that Wilmington
climbed steadily during the 1890 S
to overtake Charleston in 1910 in
the matter of traffic tonnage
through their respective ports. 1t
will also be noted that Wilmington
suffered the greatest proportionate
loss, too, when the war clamped
down on virtually all shipping ex-
cept what the government did
through its War Shipping admin
stration.
Too, it is interesting to note, in
a breakdown of the tonnage handled
by the four ports, that Wilmington
led all others in petroleum. Today,
Wilmington is the principal oil
storage terminal on the South At
lantic coast, and the oil accounts
for 80.6 per cent of the ports total
domestic tonnage.
Fertilizer Shipments
Ranking along with petroleum
shipments, in tonnage, Is the fer
tilizer trade. Wilmington, during
the period from 1882 to 1888, In
elusive, did thriving business
with imports of fertilizer materials.
mostly from South America. That
single classification, in fact, rep
resented 81.7 per cent of all foreign
imports.
Thus it is well established that
the Port of Wilmington is, at pres
ent, essentially two-product port:
Petroleum and fertilizer. Each is
specialized type of commerce,
and each requires terminal faci!i-
ties peculiarly its own. Where oil
is stored, obviously nothing else can
be; and likewise for the materials
that 60 into fertilizer.
Excluding the petroleum and fer
tilizer trade, Wilmington port traf.
fic tonnage has been pitifully small
II modern times.
Among the other commodities
handled through the port are sugar
molasses, creosote oil, tobacco,
chemicals and lumber. A pre-war
note might be added to include
scrap metal to Germany and Italy.
Department of Commerce fig
lures, as cited by Simons. however,
show an alarming trend: The
balance between imports and ex-
ports tended to become more dis
torted throughout the 1905 and
until the war hit in late 1941. The
Year 1888, for instance, found Will
mington handling 190,561 tons of
general cargo imports against ex-
ports of 51,8O2 tons. The scrap
metal, incidentally, accounted for
80, 086 tons of the export total, To-
bacco leaf exports that year were
1887 tons.
At the present time, Wilmington
possesses 81 wharves of varying
types and purposes. A majority
are small and with exceedingly
limited facilities. For the most
part, they are structures built and
utilized for specific purposes, such
as unloading fertilizer materials,
discharging oil cargoes, etc.
Seven Warehouses
There are seven warehouses with
a total floor area of 500, 514 square
feet. Each is supplemented by

dition, the youngsters worked dur,
ing their spare time. Today, mos'

children of their own and are gooo
citizens in every respect"
In those days, it was stated, less
than a dozen families could be
helped and the total cost was only
few hundred dollars. Under
Mothers Aid, children could be
aided only until they became II

1887, one of the New Hanover de-
partment's early applicants was .
Negro mother whose husband hac
disappeared four years before. Nc
trace Of him was found and it was
later reported that he was drown
ed at sea.
According to Hollis, there were
four children-aged II, 10, eight
and six-an solely dependent or
the wages of the mother, who
worked as domestic.
obviously, Hollis pointed OFT
the small wages earned by the
mother were insufficient to take
care of the family, but with ADO
plus rent from two of her rooms
she kept her family together ano
did a splendid job of raising the
children.
Help From Doctor
1.-THE oldest child finished higt
school in her 18th year and is now
working her way through college
and will graduate this year. The
children all did odd jobs after
school and turned their money
over to the mother. The second
child, boy, was graduated from
high school in 1915 and is now in
college taking medical course.
During his spare time, he worked
for a doctor. The physician was
impressed with him and is helping
him through college. The other
two children are in high school
and when last checked had moi
missed a single day this session.
We are proud Of this family and
we like to feel that our office had
at least a part in their success"
Relating another instance in
which ADO has contributed to-
wards making excellent students
and useful citizens out Of depend
emit children, Hollis told of aid
rendered to a widow, mother of six
children, ranging in age from In
fancy to 10 years. She was left
without funds after the death of
her husband. She was accepted
for aid and also given clothing
from the WPA sewing room. In
time Of emergency, the Associated
Charities assisted. The children
remained in school and made good
records. The oldest boy was
graduated from high school with
honors and Immediately thereafter
entered the Army. He made an
allotment which took care of his
mother and the younger children
and enabled them to remain in
school.
Hollis concluded with declara-
ton that "Aid for dependent chill
dren is certainly worthwhile and
is truly an important part in the
American way of life.'

and q insufficient storage space

ed by large-scale shippers:
Those are hard truths. They are
truths the community has at times
past sought to gloss over. But they
remain the principal reasons why

ports in volume Of tonnage handled es

There has been created, at the
request of Gov. r. Gregg Cherry,
a North Carolina Ports authority.
Its function is not to be concerned
alone with Wilmington, but as
well, to study and recommend
possible development of all three
of the states ports-Wilmington,
Southport and Morehead City.
Without funds, at least for the time
being, the authority at present is
seeking to obtain a $4,000 aloca-
ton from the Federal Works
agency with which to finance a
survey of the states port poten-
tialities with view of recommend
ing development. What the federal
| governments decision will be, fin
ally, rests with officials in Wash

Meanwhile, the Port of Whining
ton is staging a comeback. 1t has
handled respectable tonnage of
ship cargo since the wars end, and
port officials and shipping interests
here believe Wilmington will ex-
perience it's most active year in
history, from a tonnage stand
point, by the time 1947 comes

Greenwood Makes
Bid for Big 8
Championship

Greenwood, Miss. = The famed
Alexander High Schools Golden
Panthers lost their first game size
1912 when they were defeated by
the Greenwood High School Tigers
here Friday night by the score Of
1912.
In an open bid for the 1947 Big
Championship the Greenwood Team
set a bewildering pace from the
opening gun. Seemingly stunned
by the power of the Greenwood
attack and defense the Golden
Panthers were unable to get their
bearings before the end of the
third period when the Tigers had
piled up a three touchdown lead.
Showing signs of recovering To-
wards the end of the third period
the Golden Panthers came back
in the first few minutes of the
final period to score two touch
downs in quick succession to turn
the tables on the Greenwood team
summed by the sudden reversal Of
form, and give the Greenwood fans
the jitters. When the game end
ed the Panthers still had the ball
in striking distance of the Tiger
Goal.
The largest crowd in local foot
ball history witnessed the game.
