Too Good To Lose

Included in Saturdays good news
was word that 0. Max Gardner, form
er governor of North Carolina, will not
resign as Undersecretary of the Treas
ury following the nomination of John
W. Snyder as Secretary to succeed
Fred NJ. Vinson.
Mr.. Gardner is too good a man to
leave Washington's troubled official

Glutted Northern Markets

Several trucks laden with New
Hanover county squash were re-
turned without unloading from the
glutted markets of the north, and
many more baskets of fresh, edi-
BILE and in several instances choice
truck vegetables were dumped to
avoid payment of return freight,
farmers exchange and cooperative
managers disclosed here yester-
day.
Lack of price, from whatever
cause, was given as the reason by
Fred Setter, manager of the Han
over Mutual exchange, Wrigbts-
boro.
Setter had on hand kilograms
telling him not to ship any more
yellow squash to the commission
mouse, and another asking him to
provide a truck to return over a
hundred baskets which had been
refused.
Bear in mind that these are
not rotted, nor are they strictly
low grade vegetables. They were
some of the finest yield in years
and years, but are being turned
INTO fertilizer and stock feed not
from choice but from lack of price

visited Wilmington twice, but that
has been in the year 1918 and l

have changed. Naturally, how
could it be expected otherwise?
Now, your Mayor says, he wants
to have new settlers. But what kind
OF settlers? Only U. S. citizens with
lots of capital, or also Hollanders
OF which your community counts
already quite a few and who have
found in Wilmington what thew
have been seeking for, that is: good
living and a happy life in an excel
lent climate.
Do you know, that at this very
moment there are thousands of
Dutch families wishing to emigrate
and that Holland is getting more
and more overcroWded?

Farmers Dumping Squash
To Avoid Further Losses

The price on the New York mar
ket for yellow squash is ST. to SIPS.
The basket itself costs the farmer

pack it at the exchange, 48 cents
IS the cost of transportation to
market, plus one and one-half
cents transportation tax; the COM
mission house receives 10 per cent
or the selling price, and the farm
er gets the difference, 10 cents!
This is the cost after the squash
is picked, it does not include the
cost of picking, planting, prepar-
ing the soil, seed, fertilizer. nor
the farmers time.
This is squash alone. The price
of beans, which market is Just
about over for the season, is as
low as 81 a basket. 1t costs the
farmer so cents to have it picked.
Cucumbers are bringing a fair
price now, but the blight which

Patience Getting Thin

This and other newspapers are OFT
en- asked to withhold certain potential
news stories, such as early negotla-
tons for a new industry or service, un-
til these efforts reach a material stage
and public announcement of their re-
alization is timely and proper.
The press often agrees, after full
consideration, because it is shown that
premature publicity would be damag-
ing to an enterprise from which the
whole community will benefit. 1t pre-
fers to wait until the story is Sure"
rather than go off too hastily and raise
false hopes. In some cases, public word
may ruin the negotiations for the prof.
ect.
This is not suppression of actual
news to which the public is entitled.
Rather, it is a sympathetic attitude
based on civic spirit. We look upon it
as cooperation with those working for
a better city. So, we wait until the
story natures, keeping our knowledge
of the negotiations in confidence until
they are consummated or at least have
reached a point where publicity will
not %endanger them.
But, as we remain quiet, others talk
too much. The result is journalistic en-
barrassment. Perhaps one of the par
ties involved in q new project will ap-
pear before a civic group and discuss,
in great detail, the new industry or
other type enterprise being sought. He
will declare he sis speaking off the rec
ord' but how can one keep a secret bv
telling it to SO or 60 persons? Does he
think his words will not go beyond the
confines of his audience? If he does. he
is wrong. His secret immediately be-
comes semi-public property.

talker. He's mum at home but awav.
there are no secrets. Alert newsmen
pick them up and eventually thew an

and perhaps rightfully so, that he was

the sure-tlre rule against being mis-
quoted: Keep quiet.

REPORTER SAVES TWO MEN,

Detroit, Nov. - Special - Pretty, prim, petite Marguerite Gahagan, ,95-pound court re- porter for the Detroit News, received a special award from the Haywood Broun Award Committee for helping to save a Negro and a white man from life imprisonment. The award was made at the Chicago News paper Guilds Page One ball Nov. g.
 Miss Gahagan's years-long battle to save the men from prison began in 1943 when Aa- ron Fox and Aldo Trani were convicted of murder in the De troit race riots. Putting a Christian love for justice above her own success, Miss Gahagan, on her own initiative, ferreted out new evidence which led to the acquittal of Fox in a second trial. Trani has just been granted a new trial on evidence uncovered.
 "We who know the inner his tory of these cases look upon the efforts she made and dl- rected as the one redeeming feature of our whole Detroit race riot history, said Father E. J. Coogan, s. J. University of Detroit sociologist in his let ter supporting the Detroit Newspaper Guilds nomination for Miss Gahagan's award. A native of Toledo, Miss Gahagan was graduated from Ursuline Catholic Academy and received a journalism degree from the University of Detroit.

VET SQUATTERS POSE RACE PROBLEM

Chicago-There were a consid- ,erable number of people that dur ing the past war were very hope full about the improved racial atti- tudes that might appear in the postwar period as the result of white and Negro GIs having sui fered side by side.
 In isolated instances this type of enlightenment seems to have manifested itself but in far the majority of cases there are no such indications.
 The Airports Home Veterans Housing Project in Chicago was originally developed as an inter racial veterans housing project. Fifty-four of the hundred and eighty six units were to be for Negro veterans. But before these veterans and their families could move In white veteran squatters took over.
 Because the Chicago Housing Authority has not taken positive stand, the whole situation is at an empasse. It is alleged that the white veterans took their cue from certain prejudiced white families in the area that did not want Ne groes.

 ''The continuing worldwide shortages of fats and oils is so serious that 1t appears that 1t may be necessary to maintain the Fat Salvage Program for sometime to come. Government and industry working together demonstrated in the Fat Salv- age campaign that the public, we'll informed on the need for salvage as a source of additional industrial fats, could be induced to continue at present, or even higher, rates of salvage as long as 1t is convinced that a genuine need exists.

EAST COUNTS FASTER

It is part of Western thinking to very often take it for granted that our mechanical ingenuity can surpass all things that are depend- ent solely upon the human mind.
 This fallacy was made quite ob- vious recently when there was some question about the efficiency of the American calculating ma chine over the ancient system for counting that is now in vogue in Japan.
 In Japan and China they use what IS called the Abacus, which looks bcry much like a system of wooden beads on a series of wires, that Is sometime used to assist youngsters in learning the art of counting.
 A contest for speed was ar ranged between Kiyoshi Mastu- zaki of the Japanese Communica- tlons Ministry and Private lhom- as M. Wood of the 24Oth Finance Company, U. S. A. The speed test was in five different problems addition, subtraction, multiplica- tion, division and a combination of the four. Mastuzaki won every contest with the abacus except the addition contest. His time was thirty seconds shorter than Woods with the calculating machine and he made fewer mistakes.
 There was an audience of 7, 800 GIs watching this contest and it is reported that they gave the win ner a tremendous ovation.
