dock which jutled out into Calico
creek. There came a Harker's is
land type of boat. I forget exactly
who was skippering the boat, but
it probably was a very excellent
fisherman named Arthur Lewis.
l asked him what he had. About
5000 pounds Of pan trout, he told
me
Sink netting, in case you don't
know, is actually gill netting. That
is, the nets r weighted to the
ocean floor and the fish, not car
ing any too much about where they
swim, plunge into the meshes and
therefore are caught.
Well, Arthur Lewis catch was
still enmeshed in the meshes of
the net, which was something like
1000 yards long. When he hove
his boat to the dock he started,
one by one, taking the pan trout
out of the meshes.
The boys in the receiving plant,
having finished their battening
down, went out to the docks edge
and started hauling up the pan
trout as the Lewis ere threw the
fish up on the dock.
This, as I say, was about dusk.

Responsibility Divided

There are some, maybe many, Ameri-
cans who blame President Roosevelt for
the arrogance Of strike-calling labor
leaders, because it was Roosevelt who
imposed a pro-labor government upon
the country. But for the encouragement
he gave the bosses of labor, from his
first entry into the White House down
to his famous edict to "clear through
Sidney" these persons declare, the
country would have gone through the
war era and the year following Ger
many's collapse without the costly
strikes that first imperiled the war
effort and since have blocked the ma
tion's smooth reconversion to peace
time Industrial production.
The view is not so startling as it
might seem at first glance. It cannot
well be denied that for the political
gains he could receive Mr.. Roosevelt ex-
tended himself in behalf of labor gains.
Of which he was never weary of talk
ing, and so encouraged union leaders to
throw off all restraint, even to violate
the terms of contracts with EMPLOYERS

which has been temporarily SUSPENDED
by a truce consented to by John L.
Lewis, the miners chieftain. is q fair
example of the influence President
Roosevelt exerted for unionism.
But all the responsibility cannot
fairly be charged to Mr.. Roosevelt or.
for that matter, to JohnL. Lewis. Part
of it must go to private enterprise which
has failed to harness the nations water
power to the fullest extent. There is
enough power in the water courses of

Flood Control Survey

Rep. J. Bayard Clark is exerting
wholesome and welcome effort to free
the Cape Fear watershed from the
heavy damage caused by the flooding
of one of North Cardinals most pro-
ductive regions.
His announcement yesterday that a
survey to determine flood-control needs
in the area will get under way this
summer indicates his determination to
use his official influence to have the
menace of succeeding foundations re-
moved.
This is especially true as he further
says that when the needs are known
he will introduce legislation in the
House for an appropriation to carry
out a flood-control project similar in
many ways to the project authorized
for the Roanoke valley and the Bugs
Island reservoir, heal the Virginia line
at a cost of 100000, 900.
1t is because of his deep interest ir
public improvements in and beyond
his congressional district, and his
thorough understanding of legislative
procedure through seventeen years Of
experience in the House Of Representa-,
tives, that Mr.. Clark so we'll deserves
the support of his constituency.

It seems fair to y that most

tn "intellectuals' developed an
almost sadistic attitude toward

HereU Be Bigger And Better Fish
Stories Coming Up All The Time Now

Between then and eight o'clock
on New Years Day 80 other Hank
er's island beats pulled in to the
dock and d%isgorged a like amount
of pan trout-an average of 5000
pounds to the boat.
There were, by honest weight,
some $780, 900 pounds of pan trout
that came in between dusk and
morning.
When 1 told Mr.. Clemmons about
this night he tut-tutted as if to
say this was nothing at all I'M

possible there are as many fish
in the waters off Wrightsville and

have to do is to 60 out and get
them"
You see, as l stated before, you
cannot possibly top a fishing yarn.
I figured $50, 1000 pounds of pan
trout-especially on a cold New
Years Eve-was and is quite a
jag of fish. But the big poundage
didn't feaze MIR. Clemmons one
whit.
And, when you get to thinking
about it. it is quite possible that
the sink meters working out of
Wrightsville sound can come in
with just as many fish on any

Fire Box Hearing

The contract awarded by the City OF
Wilmington for the purchase of Ill
fire alarm boxes has been twice at
tackled, once by the company placing
the highest bid and secondly by three
residents of Sunset Park.
The Gamewell Company, which lost
out, declared in it's petition for an in
junction that the box manufactured
by the Horni Manufacturing Company,
to which the contract was awarded does
not meet the city's specifications. The
Sunset Park protestants say the con-
tract should be voided to prevent Sir
reparable damage"
Judge R. Hunt Parker has set a hear
ing this afternoon in Superior Court.
1t is for the court to determine all
points at issue. But it is permissible
to note that the original specifications
for the alarm boxes were so drawn that
only the Gamewell company could bid,
thus blocking a competitive bid, and
that it was not until the Star demanded
changes in the specifications tc allow
a competitive bid that the City Council
delayed awarding the contract until
this could be done.
The changes met the approval of the
city's best legal minds, and demonstra-
tons of the two types of boxes are de-
clared to have proved the Horni box
fully complies with the specification re-
quirements. The contract was therefore
awarded the Horni company at consider
able saving of the public funds.
AS for the position taken by the
Sunset Park trio, it must be obvious
that the purchase of III fire boxes
could not under any circumstances
create S'irreparable damage" These
plaintiffs further charge the Horni
company is insolvent or in Imminent
danger Of insolvency." a charge which
would seem to be disproved by the dec
laration of its representatives that
the company, now r~eorganized, is ready
to make a performance bond, which
could not be done by an i%nsolvent firm.
Furthermore, it is to be noted that a
Wilmington firm is scheduled to install
the Horni boxes, which means that a
sizeable part Of the money involved
in the contract would remain in the city.
Also, that the sound judgment of Will
mington's leading business h a is
favorable to the Councils action and
stands behind the contract awarded
the Horni company.
These are matters the court natural
ly will weigh carefully in deciding this
litigation.

PASSAGE FROM HOME, by Isaac
Resented Dial; S2.5O.)

A Chicago youngster in his early
teens tells this story, in the first
person, about himself and his rela-
tionship with father, stepmother,
grandparents, cousin Willy, Aunt
Minna and her friend, Fred Mason
Except for Willy, who married
into the family, they are Jews,
and there is a rich background Of
Passover and Seder, of religious
customs and, primarily, of 4 tight
ly knit group indivisible in spite
of striking contrasts in indNId-
uals.
Minna, the lone rebel, has broken
out Of the circle, made her own
home, and lived in an isolation
which, among with other mystef-
les about her, exercises a peculiar
fascination on her impresslonao-e
nephew.
The task of trying to persuade
you to read this absorbing BOOK
is pleasant but difficult, for have
nothing to tempt you with beyond
a few unimportant people, anu
some very slight action: scenes al
home, calls on Minna or grand
parents, walks with Willy, a cou-
pie of arguments, a surprise parry
and a pajama party.

City To Do The Job

City Manager Benson's plan to have
the city lay some 3 500 feet Of water
main out Chestnut street has two OBJ
jectives. Primarily the purpose is to
supply service to the residents in the
effected area. But the job is to be I'M
dertaken also as a test of time required
to install the main and to determine the
cost.
When the city received bids at an
earlier date on water main and sewer
installations the prices were too high,
in the opinion Of the Council, to accept.
It is proposed to r%eadvertise for bids
shortly. With the figures on the CITY,
performed Chestnut street job and the
time consumed in hand, the Council will
be in an advantageous position to act
or bids then submitted by contractors.
MI. Benson's decision is praise
worthy. There is a great deal of this
kind Of work to be done and the citizens
of the annexed areas deserve the service
as quickly and as cheaply as it can be
provided.
