Gas To Flow

The Big Inch and the Little Inch
pipe lines are to start delivering natural
gas from the Southwest to the eastern
seaboard within a few days, probably
not later than the first of next week.
Secretary of the Interior so testified
before the House Surplus Property COM
mlttee. The movement is designed to
relieve the coal shortage created by
the strike in bituminous mines which
has already reached alarming propo
lions. The relief, however, will be ex-
ceedingly small.
MIR. krug expects the two pipe lines
to deliver $4,000, 900 cubic feet of nat,,-
raj gas a day, at the start, and within
a month or a little longer $50, oo0. 900
feet. However large these figures seem
the largest will be the equivalent Of
only 5000 tons of coal. The normal
daily production Of coal is 1000, 900 tons.
Industrial plants equipped to fuel
with natural gas will find their situa.
tion improved, but others using coal
burners cannot hope to change over to
gas Immediately. But all things con.
sidered, it is encouraging to know that

ONE TURKS. OPPORTUNITY
BY Ill T. L L

Riding the rough mid-Turkey in
a train, an English-speaking Turk
sought me out. He was a gradu-
ate of Columbia University. and a
teacher, assigned by the Govern
ment to Konia. Paul's 1conium.
The young man was unhappy.
for he had hoped that, with his
American training. he would draw
an important assignment in Anka-
ra or Constantinople. He knew
nothing about Konia and cared
less. His head was full of modern
theories of education. but utterly
empty of any passion for teach
ing. l could not fire him with any
zeal for the great opportunity in
strategic Konia.
That man. was a type. He was
so full of self-important dreams OF
greatness that he was neglecting
near-at : hand opportunity Like
him, I, too. often look to the
distant possibility, while blind to
duty at hand.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-12-05

We confess, o patient Father,
that we are often idle dreamers,
eager to do great things for Thee,
but needless of the opportunities
with which Thou dOst strew our
daily path. Forgive us, and amend
Ms. Amen.

YOUTHFUL CAMPERS PROVE
RACIAL AMITY NOT
50 Difficult

NEW YORK, Feb. Is (ANP)-
DIR. Thomas w. Patrick Jr., feels
confident that children, inherently,
have no prejudices. On this basis,
and to prove his belief to others,
he has founded Camp Willowomoc,
an interracial camp in the Catskills
near here. The camp, now in it's
second year, provides natural
setting for the mingling of children
of varied races and creeds. The
staff also is mixed, and the whole
is described as medley of colors
and religions.
Successful from the beginning in
what it set out to do, Camp Will
lowomoc this year expects peak
attendance. The first summer
brought 100 boys and girls to the
camp, % Negro, So white, and the
remainder other races; last year
48 were Negro and so white. The
campers, who include DR.. Patrick's
daughters, come from 20 cities and
their parents represent 81 trades
or professions.
DR.. Patrick, who is a pediatri-
clan, is Boston born and Harvard
graduate. Encountering difficulty
entering a medical school of his
choice because of his color, he re-
ceived his MD. abroad in 1886
from the University of Berlin.
While there, watching Hitler tao
tics gaining in momentum, he be-
came convinced that the Negro
problem is part of a worldwide
problem of prosecuted minorities.
Setting out to prove that preju-
dices are acquired, DR.. Patrick
studied camp administration and
opened Willowomoc in 1914. One of
his instructors at New York uni
versity now is co-director of the
camp. DR.. Patrick, 81, also is CO.
founder and medical director of
the Neighborhood Day nursery of
Harlem.

 Back to June, 1914
 Stuart then turned the pages lack to June, 1914, when a valua- ton of the light company properties shows up some of the values re- ported both to the City ana the In- ternal Revenue Bureau as incor- ect. Mixed methods were uscG in arriving at them, he said, with the result that about $5,000 of correct depreciation was not allowed
 About 40 percent net profit was showed that year, he averred, but with deduction of inflated valres cn the power house site profit climbs to about 48 percent. Drop ping of depreciation by the com pany, he continued, did not start in 1886, but in 1914
 No depreciation, he went on, was shown on the. company's first le- rort to the City, in 1886, but S22 900, covering 10th 1886 and 1887, was shown the next year In 1853, si5,539So in repreciation was shown, which is about the figure reported through succeeding years.
 The 1886 report, Stuart contand- cd, is absolute proof that depre- ciation had teen disregarded by the company prior to then, result ing in about $150,oO0 difference in the capital assets and that padded capital account has been carried in AEL&P reports to the City through the nine years since.
 Summary Co1icsuS.cn
 It was then, as summary con- clusion, that Engineer Stuart de- clared that the 1944 rate return brought the AEL&P about S4O OUU mere than a reasonable return on it's investm ent.
 In 1945, he contsidea, vile com : pany was still charging as repairs items that are properly additions to the capital account This ne repeated, tends to show a fictitiouslY low profit
 Stuart concluded his presentation by listing a preliminary total Of company operating costs for the base year 1944 at $131 ,462 .32. This total, he said, does not include a bit more than $37,000 Of income taxes, which amount he stated will, in his belief, be lowered. Stuart added that James c.
