Room To Scatter"

When the automobile started the
good roads movement in the United
States and received it's greatest i'm
petus under sponsorship of Senator
John Hollis Bankhead, ST., father of
the present Senator from Alabama, it
was forecast that cities of the future
were likely to be twenty miles long
and one building deep.
No more new settlements of the old
sprawled kind were to be expected.
Rather, with paved highways, construc-
tion would be in a continuous line at it's
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-04-23

sides, with only farms and factories in
the interior.
This forecast was made many years
ago. To date we still have to witness
it's fulfillment. The habit of grouping
homes in closely built neighborhoods
originally copied from Europe and per-
petuated by earlier generations for
mutual protection by settlers, still sur
wives.
Perhaps the atomic bomb will dc
what the automobile and paved high
ways have failed to do. The menace of
extinction through atomic bomb ex-
plosions over cities is too frightful to
warrant packing humanity into close
quarters The rule of the future reason
ably may be scatter and reduce the
hazard" Certainly this should be the
rule for industries.
Because the Wilmington area con-
tains much rural land, it is possible
to anticipate greater utilization OF 1T
for manufacturing than the citys most
optimistic citizens could have hoped
even since the intensive campaign for
new industries was launched. Water,
power, highway and rail facilities, all
essential to successful factory opera
ton, are available. And the safety
that lies in scattering" invites manu-
facturers to consider locating here
abouts.
Not that we have any more reason
to anticipate atomic bomb attack than
any other locality. But it is reason
able to point out that as anything can
happen in this atomic age, wisdom die
tates that industries locate in areas Of
fering the safety afforded by isolation
from crowded cities.

GET THE FACTS!

When was a cub reporter in
Philadelphia, I was sent one night
to a district police station to get
the story of a crime. The station
was mile from our office; and in
those days we walked, I was al
most back at Chestnut street, con-
ming my story on the way, when I
realized that had not learned
whether the criminal had wife
and family.
Of course, I could have CLOSED
over my omission, but Charles A
Dana's "See both sides and get
all the facts" was the young re-
porter's creed; SO I trudged that
dreary mile back to the police sta
ton to check up on the omitted de-
tails.
Trivial indeed was the incident:
but it has colored all my writing
life since, and given me passion
for thoroughness that steadies my
pen as do my daily work.
Lies largeness is compounded
of Titles; and he that is faithful in
the least will be faithful in much.
As we go through life, help us to
be careful, dear Lord; May we be
diligent to know all the truth, be-
fore we speak or write. Deliver us
from needless judgments. Amen.

This Business Of Being An Authority
On The Past Is A Bit Uncomfortable

county, A. D. 1855; Virginia, A.
D. 1850?
If the answers are yes, can
supply other information.
Well, this takes me back. Once
Judge Henry Grady, originally
of the Clinton Gradys, asked me
if l knew somebody like my great
great-great granddaddy and l had
to plead ignorance. So he sat down,
being a genealogist, and figured
the whole business out for me.
And, using pretty antiquated
piece of business, indicated to me
that l had ancestors.
1t seems, Mr.. E. E. Page, that
these forebears of mine came
down from Virginia, via Halifax
county, to Sampson county. Now,
whether some of these boys wan
dered down to Bladen l really
don't know. Seems likely. Know
ing Bladen, I'd be right proud 10
learn that some of those forebears
once had lived over there. And
I'm quite sure it wouldn't have
been too much of trip for them
to have come on down to Bladen
from Sampson.
That's about all the information
l can pass along to you, Mr.. Page,
about my own people in these
parts. I've talked around bit and
learned you're probably quite
right about the Neill Mcneil bust
ness.
I'd like to know myself, even
though 1 don't profess to be a
historian of any sorts, about the
Admiral Vernon business and il
Mount Vernon's name came from
somebody who, earlier, had some
thing to do with something along
the Cape Fear.
Anybody, including Mr.. Moore
and Mr.. Howell, have any light to
shed on this latter subject?

Book of Wilmington, has, if Mr..
Howell will forgive me saying so,
put me in somewhat of a false
light.
All of sudden l seem to have
been showed into a position of be-
ing an authority on history. May
I hasten to explain that I am not?
Oh, I'm well aware that Columbus
discovered America, that Ameri-
Gus Vespucci was pretty fair
journeyman map-maker, and that
George Washington slept here,
there and, it seems, everywhere
But I do not know any too much
about why this or that was done.
In the yesteryear, that is.
Yet, because of the fact that
some few items were set down
herein about the early days around
these parts I get buzz ever so
often that flatters me, makes me

in the years gone by and that
I'm something of an authority.
Well, again, I'm not.
But, just for instance: 1 have a
note here from Louis T. Moore,
whom I knew at least part of
generation ago. In the note he
says that you are doing much
to arouse present day Wilmington
people in the times and acts of
their progenitors''
For some reason or other, this
makes me feel that I should know
something about these progeni-
tors. There is little, however, that
I know except what is passed along
to be by the likes of Mr.. Moore.
And, incidentally, in his letter, Mr..
Moore has mentioned some items
which I'll bring up sooner Or later

the progenitors.

Beware This Gift

There is some reason to doubt the
economic soundness of the proposal
embodied jim a Senate bill to give en-
listed personnel of the military estab-
lishment 5000 each if they served over
seas and $500 otherwise, in lieu Of
terminal leave pay.
There is no question that veterans
deserve everything the country can do
for them, but there is a question that
veterans would serve their own best
interests in accepting federal gifts,
as the burden of repaying the money
in the form of taxes would fall ron
them, as upon all other taxpayers.
When this war and its aftermath
have passed some 100000 persons
will have seen service. Perhaps this
figure is conservative. Certainly it is
not stretched. In the next decade, GER
tainly in two decades, these persons
will be the nations chief source of tax
revenue. Through their earnings, their
investments, their inheritances, they
will be paying into the Treasury the
largest part of the taxes. To the other
items on their tax bills will be added
any money they have received as a
government gratuity
It is the same evil that exists in
the bonus system. The farmer, for ex-
ample, who is given bonus for plow-
ing under a part of his crop, is re-
Quired to pay taxes on it from the
time the money is drawn from the
Treasury until the last penny is paid
back. Officers in the military establish
ment who get terminal leave pay and
civil service employees are in the same
fix. Veterans of World War | who
received bonuses are still paying taxes
on them.
There is NO way the government
can get the money to meet any gift
except by taxation.
Veterans of World War II are en-
couraged to consider that while any
cash they receive, whether in the form
Of terminal pay or any other, may
prove a temporary boon, their accep-
lance of it places them under inescap-
able obligation to meet their full share
Of it's repayment.

Americas Card Authority

Today's hand came up in tour
nament in Raleigh, N. c., and was
sent to me by j. T. Lynn of that
city. The bidding is rather I'M
usual but very interesting. OF
course, Wesf bid of two diamonds
was a cue bid. When South bid
three diamonds and West bid four
diamonds, he was insisting that
his partner name his best suit. AS
result East found himself bid
ding three-card hear suit.
With the heart opening alert de-
ense can defeat the contract, but
East made it by winning the sec
ond heart in dummy with the nine
spot, cashing the ace and king of
spades and ruffling a spade with
the queen of hearts.
South might have defeated the
contract if he had discarded the
queen of clubs at this point but
that would be a difficult play to
make.
Declarer next led a small club
to dummy ace, the ten of hearts
picked up North's last trump, then
a small club threw South lin the
lead.
Once again South had missed an
opportunity to throw away the
club-and now he had nothing but
diamonds. When he led the king,
