State Aid Proposed

In the seven-point legislative pro-
gram approved by the Association OF
County Commissioners at their Wednes-
day convention session at Wrightsvllle
Beach, one is of especial interest in New
Hanover.
It calls for a dollar-a-day a%ppropria-
ton from state funds for each bed in
county-owned tuberculosis sanatoria.
With the county administration view
ing ~favorably the creation of a sana-
forum to replace the Red Cross retreat
near the airport, which became unten-
antable when the Army expanded Blue
thenthal field, this money would go far
toward maintaining a new institution.
Although the New Hanover Health
and tuberculosis Association has done
what it could in caring for tubercular
victims and conducting X-ray examina-
tons, there is great need for a new
sanatorium where patients may receive
the care and treatment required for
their restoration to health at an isolated
place where the danger of communicat-
ing their disease to others is remote.
Certainly the people Of the county
have every reaso to support the pro-
posal thus advanced by the County Com
missioners when it is presented at the
forthcoming legislative session.

BY WILLIAM I. ELLIS

Before the World War l, the
Germans conducted famous exca-
vations at Babylon, and l was a
guest there. After having been
shown over the ruins by DR..
Kaldeway. l returned to my room
and read some of the familiar Old
Testament prophecies concerning
Babylon. One Of them was the
thirteenth chapter of Isaiah. which
closes with the prediction that
''Howling creatures shall cry in
their castles, and jackals in the
pleasant palaces.
Later in the evening, l. went for
a walk over the excavated ruins
of Nebuchadnezzars palace. and a
jackal ran from under nv feet!
This literal fulfillment of a detail
of Isaiahs word was no more re-.
markable than the fate of Babv.
lon as q whole. But it pointed
prophecy for ne.
Surer than the strength of ma.
tons or the life of cities is every
word of the living God. We are
safer in relying upon Scripture
than in accepting material truths
which are as strong as, Babylon

nations, o King Of kings. We Of

A Waiting Period

Nobody is willing to accept the re-
possibility Of definitely explaining the
tremendous down-swing of stock values.
Some commentators blame the specula-
tors, who are said to be INDUCING their
periodical habit of driving stocks down
with heavy offerings intending to buy
them back when they hit bottom and
pocketing immense profits. Others at
tribute it to domestic labor conditions
and still others to international discord.
The view is also held that the time has
come for the price pendulum to swing
back.
Which is the correct view, if any of
them is right, is beyond our ken. There
may be other reasons we wat not Of.
But it would seem that something ought
to be done about it pronto. The loss
of $415, 000,0 900 in a single days trad
ing on the Stock Exchange is a fabulous
disaster to us who have little folding
money at any time but are still cling
ing to our wal bonds with the idea
that we are helping the nation pull it's
weight in the postwar race.
Notwithstanding that so many of
us are on the outside, we have faith
in the belief that if stock transactions
were not conducted at ticker speed such
- 1~, ~.1xx1-1 Ill.,
cent days might be prevented and
worthwhile stocks retain something like
par value.
A waiting period, say Of thirty days
after preliminary stock sale negotia-
lions, before completing the transac-
ton, would seem to put an end to these
unsettling conditions, that, must have
made many paupers this week.

BRIDGE

S
I CANNOT put down S. ]. 81
mons book, why You Lose al
Bridge" before giving you the
hand about the palooka and the
club expert. Every club has its
expert who thinks that all the
others are palookas. When he
loses, he is just unlucky. He al
ways plays scientific book bridge.
The biding shown is the way
this hand is bid in Mr.. Simon's
book. In the United States the
four no-trump bid would in al
probability be a slam convention,
asking for ace and the response
would be five clubs, showing no
aces.
Mr.. Simon says that in London
the sign-off bid would be five
hearts. But the palooka forgets
they are playing Blackwood, and,
when his partner bids four no
trump, he goes into a huddle and
bids a timid five spades OBJ
viously hating the. whole business
and wishing he had not come to
the club that night. The expert
should know that five spades can
not be the correct conventional
response because he holds three
aces himself, but now, MI. Simon
says, he makes a master bid Six
clubs. Following a conventional
bid of four-no-trump, this is a
'cue-bid indicating that the spade
suit has been more or less agreed
upon, and maybe a grand slam
can be made. But the palooka
gives a sigh of relief and passes.
Down seven undoubled!
Do you think this happens only
in London? I can tell you that it
happened on two different occa-
sions when two Of our great play
ers played a hand at a slam with

the Revolution. What may have

three daughters, each of whom
married gentlemen of distinction.
One of them married John Hay,

of Brunswick, a gentleman Of fine
talents and attainments. The third
married Capt. Hall, also of Bruins

ing a favorite pastime with them,

striking English characteristics.
This man afterward lived and
kept an inn at Fayetteville where
his three daughters married gen.

of age settled at Hymeham, and
married the daughter of William
Hooper, one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence. When
the writer was a boy at school at
Hillsboro he knew this lady as she
took notice Of and was kind to the
down country boys, as we were
called. The impression left on my
mind is that she was the perfect
ideal of a refined and elegant gen.
tlewoman.

SPOILED Brats

There is always a youngster in every
neighborhood who won't play unless hi
can make the rules and run the game
Usually the same situation exists IN
adult life, only, with men, it is frequent
" q case of rule or ruin. The big Eel
|'ow not only won't play unless he's the
top man, but spoils the game for every
body else.
AS nations are merely the reflection
of the rulers, and the rulers being men,
there is little difference in their con-
duct from that of the spoiled brats VINO
disrupt the fun of their playmates. A
present example is the Soviet Union
which from the time Russia was given
military aid in sufficient volume to
turn back the tide of the German in
vasion has fought its war allies-the
nations which literally saved it from
annihilation-at every turn of events,
and s~teadfastly refuses to participate in
the establishment of world peace un-
less it names the terms.
This has been manifest at every ses-
sion of the Foreign Ministers confer
ences, at every session of the Security
Council, at every meeting of the Paris
conference conducted to work out
reasonable treaties for countries that
under pressure served Hitler in his et-
fort to gain control and impose slavery
on the world. 1t has been manifest
in Yugoslavia's attitude, in Tito's bel
ligerency, toward the United States in
the case involving the death of Ameri-
can filters shot down by Yugoslav
planes.
It is now apparent in the Soviet
Ukraine foreign minister's attitude be-
fore the Security Council, meeting at
Lake Success, New York. The foreign
minister, Dmitri Manuilsky, charged
in an ill-tempered speech at Wednes-
days Council session, that Greece is a
serious threat" to the peace OF the
Balkans.
1t so happens that Greece is the only
Balkan state Russia has failed to COM
munize. On last Sunday Greece held
an election in which King George was
victorious, and thus returns to rule in
Athens.
Far be it from US to say that this
is the best Greece could have done for
itself. We are not qualified to pass
judgment. But the fact remains that
the Greeks made their own decision,
instead of Moscow. Consequently, in
the customary Russian pattern, Greece
is accused of threatening the peace of
the Balkans-with Great Britain's aid.
Obviously Moscow holds that any ma
ton within the sphere o. influence it
has mapped for itself which does not
bow to it's will, but dares to act indie
pendently, is a threat to peace.
The question that demands an an
swer without more equivocation is when
the world powers that saved Russia in
her time Of sore distress will stop the
spoiled brats of Moscow from running
the possibility of re-establishing peace.
