nearly eight years before the Bos-
ton Tea Party incident, of which
so much has been made In North
ern history; while this Colonial
ruin, the veritable cradle of Am
erican liberty, is probably unknown
to nine-tenths Of the people on the
Cape Fear at the present day.
This place, which has eloquent
ly been referred to by two of the
most distinguished sons of the
Cape Fear, and direct descendants
Of Sir John Yeamans, the late Hon.
George Davis and the Hon. A. M.
Waddell, and which was known as
Russelborough, was bought from
William Moore, son and successor
Of king" Roger, by Capt. John

Of about IS acres his name. It

Wise Choice

The city governments agreement
with popular sentiment for the appoint
ment of John H. Farrell, executive
secretary of the Chamber of Commerce,
as Wilmington's industrial agent is
praiseworthy. Mr.. FarrelPs long train
ing and experience, no less than his Wis
ion of the need for industrial expan-
sion and means to bring it about, fit
him especially for his new duties.
Another point in the new program
equally commendable is that it will be
directly affiliated with the Chamber
of Commerce, and not branch of city
government, in which case, however,
incorrect it might prove, it would be
under suspicion as political under
taking.
The Chamber of Commerce will be
hard pressed to find an assistant secre-
tary to relieve Mr.. Farrell of the great
amount of detail work he cannot do,
once the industrial program is well
under way, but the present board of
directors may be relied on to make a
wise choice

Editorial Comment
PEARL HARBOR II,

Delay in the passage Of universal military
training law is not in the interest of the welfare
OF the United States
One OF the strongest deterrents Of wars Of
aggression by stupid and greedy nations is
the knowledge that democratic and righteous
nations are strong.
The United States cannot be strong with a
voluntary army
It the present Congress fails to enact suit
able law to provide for the compulsory mill.
tary training Of the youth of the nation anc
the maintenance Of an adequate standing army
1t will be doing the people Of the United States
great disservice.
Return to a volunteer army will be the hrs
step toward world war number three and Fear
Harbor number two.-Fayetteville Observer.

used for an indoor field day, and hum
dreds of parents and relatives be left
at the gate when school festivals were
held.
Wilmington must build for the
future. It's people have their eyes on the
future. They would support an auditori-
UNI project if it could meet the demand
for years to come By the same token,
they assuredly would reject such a
project if it could not meet the demand
today.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-02-15
Auditorium Too Small

Perhaps the general plans of the
Augusta auditorium are, as the coun-
cilmanic voice declares, so we'll adapted
to Wilmington's needs that they justify
repetition here, but the Council will be
exceptionally short-sighted and lack
public support if it provides no more
seating capacity than indicated in the
report Of it's deliberations on Wednes-
day.
A concert hall, for example, with but
900 seats would not be adequate. This
is no guess. It is proved by the attend
ance and the waiting list at the Concert
Associations performances. These are
held in the New Hanover High school
auditorium, where the seating capacity
Is about 1000. Invariably in recent
years many applications for tickets are
filed in case earlier purchasers, by re-
moval from the city or other CAUSE
surrender their tickets, but in no case
are more tickets sold than the seating
capacity. How, then, can the auditorium
planners expect to satisfy the nublic
demand, even for this one regular en-
tertainment course, in hall which can
accommodate but 900 auditors? How
can Wilmington expand it's entertain
ment features, as growing city must
do, in such hall?
AS for the Augusta main auditorium
it is equally difficult to see how audi
ences seeking admission to athletic
events could find seats if the same
seating capacity is provided here This
hall has level floor. It seats 1,843. The
balcony seats 1878 and the gallery 402
Ii the main floor is used for athletic
contests or other events spectators
could not occupy any part of it. Audi.
ences would be restricted to the balcony
and the gallery both of which coulc
not seat the people who would turn out
say, for high school basket ball game
Certainly many applicants for tickets
would be turned away if the arena weel
