 If you see Gassaway Davis go- ing around with a satisfied look on his face lately, it is because he guessed the right horse in the best race at Tropical Park on the last day.
 Miss Geraldine Wells of the school teaching clan was home for Easter singing the praises of Gin cinnati, Ohio, where she is bring ing the three Rs to the children of that city as we'll as her musical knowledge.
 I don't know how many of the people realize it, but we are en- tering into an entirely new era during which the competition in all fields is much keener than ever before. Now is the time to prepare yourself. The time honoring saying 'In union there is strength" was never more true. If you are not a member of a union, get in one. If you are a recently discharged member of the armed forces, take advantage of Uncle Sam's offer to help you ready yourself for any opportunity that may be present ed. In my travels about the coun- try, during which had the op- portunity to observe closely all things, I saw evidence of Negroes receiving jobs and business oppor- tunities that heretofore had been closed to them.
 Since the Turf Club offers one of the best conducted as well as one of the most beautifully ap- pointed of the New England clubs your columnist wonders why it isn't better supported. To all you who realize the part the Turf serves in this community, l urge you to attend more regularly and bring all your out of town guests along to visit, too.

RIGHT DOWN
 THE LINE
CALLING WASHINGTON ID. C.
 By George A. David

By George A. David
 CThis is the second of a number of articles to be written in this column concerning important prob lems of the day).
 When Washington, D. C., voted down the bill to eliminate discrim- ination in the worlds greatest capitol, they voted down a group that helped to keep Hitler and Tojo out of the fair city. I won der what Hitler and Tojo would have proclaimed" for minor groups in Washington - at least we wouldn't be surprised at their declaring that discrimination should remain, mainly, because Ne groes fought and died to keep them out of Washington.
 But it is a very bitter pill to swallow when men and women are challenged" for the right to live free in mind and at liberty to go wherever his U. s. dollar goes.
 Millions of Americans have the habit of saying that "a mans life cannot be valued in dollars and cents." It is quite foolish to be- lieve that such a statement might ne considered true. It is a foregone conclusion that the dollar" has no limitations. The "dollar" is not discriminated / against. The "dollar" is not strung up to tree, shot and burned. The "dollar" needs no Federal or State legisla- tion that determines whether it should vote or where it should go. The dollar" is not discriminated against in the worst Southern Ne gro-hated business. A Negro can go to the back door or the side window and send the dollar" in to purchase for him. - But - can he enter - Ye Gods! No! It is for the living to think along the lines of life for the living"
 Old Washington, D. c. - "the world is waiting for the sunrise" ." It is always possible to keep Gods sun from coming in the window but we can never keep Gods earth from quaking.

 Before long, the Turf Club will regain it's status as a must" on your places to go list. The new series of programs inaugurated by the entertainment committee of James "Matt" Strong and Walter 'Beckham are creating more inter est and drawing more people each week. If you want an evening of real fun and diversion, by all means attend 'fRacing Nigh" which is Tuesday and Friday of each week.
 Elton Burton, Sr., Is again with us after a long illness. From now on the Pinochle Club at the Turf will have some real competition.
 Bessie Proffitt, Hartford's own queen of the blues, had as her Easter weekend guests, Miss Claudia Daniel and MT. George Copeland of New Brunswick, N. J., and MT. Wesley Boyd of Phila- delphia, Penna.

D0SHER ISSUES
CLOTHING APPEAL

In a special appeal, Wilbur R.
Dosher, chairman of the Whining
ton committee of the Victory Cloth
ing Collection, yesterday wrote an
open letter to the churches, civic
clubs, fraternal organizations, and
to all citizens of Wilmington and
New Hanover county as follows:
in this January of 1916 we have
the privilege of sharing, under
peace-time conditions, with our
unfortunate neighbors in the war
torn countries of the world, that OF
which we have an abundance and
of which they are partially and in
some cases wholly denied, namely
clothes, shoes and bedding.
In the 1916 Old Clothes drive
our people did themselves proud
in the magnificent response to the
call from across the waters. In the
1946 drive, I, as chairman Of the
local committee, do hunbly beg
that the same unselfish spirit pre-
vail.
I'VE are late in the organization
Of this undertaking, and in order
to achieve results worthy of our
City and County the unqualified CO.
operation of every organization
and individual is necessary.
II respectfully request and urge,
therefore, that on Sunday, January
| 27, each minister of Wilmington
and our County bring this informa-
ton and its Importance to the at
tention of his congregation, and
that adequate arrangements be
completed in each church for CO.
operation in the drive to an extent
in keeping with its religious faith
and the brotherhood Of man.
'That the leaders of each civic
and fraternal organization COM
plete arrangements for their parti-
cipation in the work, details of
which will be furnished to each and
made public by press and radio
as soon as compiled.
That Mr.. and Mrs. John @.
Public, upon whom rests the sue
cess of this undertaking, realize
that their interest, their initiative,
their untiring efforts and their
willingness to share, are the de-
termining factors of this humani-
tartan drive.
Remember our land has not
been torn by bombs, showered by
flack, ravished by disease nor
burdened by hopelessness. Let us
show our gratitude by dividing
that which we have with those who
have not-in this their our Of great
need"

,Confederacy Loses Last
United States Stronghold

Bolstered by a free lunch of bar
becued veal sandwiches and cof-
fee, the hardy residents braved
cold, damp weather to gather in
open air mass meeting before a
dilapidated old blacksmith shop
where the original articles of Sc
cession were signed in 1861.
After a brief opening ceremony
by village heads from the back of
an old hay wagon Respondent in
red and white bunting, the assem-
blage retired to the local frehouse
to witness the premier showing OF

Truman Square," crossroads
center of town renamed il honor of
the President last fall, villagers re-
ceived official ballots and the vote
was taken.
Film stars Cesar Romero and
Martha Stewart, making personal
appearances in conjunction with
the film showing, tabulated the
votes.
AS the ballots were collected,
little dog darted about among the
crowd, bearing a sign attached
reading: "Beat the Damned Yam
KEGS"
But to at least one villager, Miss
Grace Kidder, the whole affair was
no joke. One of Town Lines oldest
residents, Miss Kidder described
the secession as a disgrace as
she cast her vote in favor OF return
ing to the union.
THE secession, I think, was
promoted by Mrs. Meals, local
merchant" the tiny, gray-haired
woman said. THE Meals family
was Scotch-Irish. There were sew
eral sons, one of whom was a lead
er in the Town Line secession. I
do not know what became of him"

federacy was lowered without fan.

Until today, Town Line had been

to light last July after Dade coun-

President Truman was asked to
arbitrate the matter When the Town

formed him that the town was "in
turmoil over factional differences.
Inc perturbed citizens agreed to
ABIDE by the Presidents suggestion

There are few controversies
that are not susceptible of a peace

atmosphere of tranquility and

COMMON PLEAS COURT
Divorce Filed


Gertrude Clara Thompson from
Harry Lee Thompson, on grounds
of gross neglect of duty and ex-
treme cruelty. They were married
Oct. Is, 1941 in Columbus and
have one child, of whom plaintiff
asks custody. Clifton L. Caryl is
attorney for the plaintiff.
Asks Injunction
N. f. and Aida Davis have
brought suit against Wilbur and
Stella Orr, asking for an injunc-
tion to prevent defendants from in
terfering with the plaintiffs in an
effort to reopen the sanitary sew
er from their property at Z. Sixth
and Chestnuts SITS. In 1916, the
lots on which the two families re-
side were owned by the same per-
son, and in that year a common
sewer was installed to serve both
properties, and has been used by
both alike for more than q years,
plaintiffs say. Plaintiffs are now
trying to install a larger sewer of
their own, but meanwhile, they
claim, defendants have cut off
