down yonder at Wrightsville Beach.
No more will the residents OF the
Northern extension feel that they
are members of the forgotten tribe
of bus riders. At long last they can
be as snooty as their southern ex.
tension friends in the matter OF
bus transportation. It's eureka ana
awav thew ride with the equal
aulornb of their heretofore more
fortunate brethren with quarters IN
the southern section. 1t has just
been revealed, as they say in the
dramatic head line news stories,
that within the next week or l5
davs a new bus schedule will be
drawn up which will include ire
ouent service to the northern ex-
tension jewellers. It's a fact. NO
longer will the work-weary travel
err to that neck Of the woods have
tn drag himself out at Station l
and hike to his home blocks away.
And mind you now, 1t is I. u
Baird. Superintendent of Transpor-
tation. Safeway Transit company,
who is to be thanked for this plea
SAINT additional -ervice.
I Wonder
Why do motorcycle drivers feel
that they are immune to the speed
laws? >. Why one can't buy
Why someone doesn't mention
naming the new auditorium as a
living memorial to the soldiers OF
this area who have paid the su-
preme sacrifice? Why the To-
cal police have only one day a
lapel flower for a reasonable price?
month off? Why someone hasn't
suggested that veterans be given
the Job as enumerators on the city
census? Why more people
dom 90 in for paid baby sitting?
Why the beautiful dining room
in the American Legion Home is
kept closed? Why we do not
have a public honor roll of both
living and dead who have served
their country from Wilmington or
the county? Why we don't
have a Gold Star Mothers chap
ter? When are the beaches
( ding to start the much heralded
publicity campaign? - or II they
have why we haven't heard some
thing about it?
PLAY THE GAME
Dear Lord, in the game that
goes thru life,
I ask but a field that is fair;
A chance that Is equal to all In
the strife
A courage to do and to dare.
And if should win, let 1t be by
the code;
With my faith and my honor held
high.
And if I should lose, let NE stand
by
The road and cheer as the sinners
go by.
Many thanks to r. G. for the

Questions anu Answers
On Servicemen's
Problems
NJ noIrGLAs LARSEN

WASHINGTON = The problems
of a veteran are varied ana com
nlex. Here are some questions
which don't fall within the provi-
sions Of any law, but are neverthe
less important to the ex-servlce-
man:
O.-Is it true that servicemen
can wear their uniforms as long as
sir months after they are dis
charged if they wear special in
sigma? This would be a good
idea. if true in view Of the short
age of clothing.
"A bill which would permit
this has ben introduced. But
veterans will be governed by the
old regulations regarding the
wearing of uniforms until that
bill is passed.
Q-While in the service I man
aged to save several thousand dol
lars. I now have chance to go
into the brick business with my
father in law. In view of the
scarcity Of building materials this
sounds like good idea. But what
I want to know is whether the
brick business will still be good in
10 or 20 years. What do you say?
A-The best thing for you to do
is to 60 to your veterans informa-
ton center and give them your
prob1em. If there isn't such
center in your town, it would be
wise to seek the advice OF an
established local businessman
whom yuo know and trust. There
are many local factors which
would govern the success OF a
business. It is impossible for me
to say what your chances for sue
cess are.
Q-I have a change to ct a gov
eminent guaranteed loan and buy
into a business, but my wife says
that if I get the loan won't draw
any bonus which the government
might give later, and that most
veterans will fail if they 60 into
business. Is this true?
A.-Success of failure depends
on your ability and the nature of
the business you intend to enter.
The law has been changed, and
loans or payments under the CT
bill will not be taken out of future
bonuses.
Questions will be answered

Rear Admiral C assadysSays
However, Operations Are
Entirely Feasible :

ABOARD THE CARRIER MID.
WAY $50 MILES, WEST OF
GREENLAND, March 12-NR)-
Rear Adm. John H., Cassidy said
Tuesday that Arctic. carrier opera.
tions are absolutely feasible"- but
slower than under ordinary con
ditions because of human 1irnita-
lions and a, lack of accurate
weather Information. = ~ 80 - ~
The commander Of the Nayy's

said the Navy already has the
ships, planes and much of \ the
equipment needed to- conduct a
full-scale northern operation. r.
,.,, Good Ship ~ a. ~
1--WE definitely have proved that
the Midway is an all-purpose ship
and that carrier operations in Arc
tic regions are absolutely feas.
ible," Cassidy said. But they
will have to be conducted for some
time at. much slower rate than
was attained in tropical regions
during the war. . go
"We have found that men have
to become acclimated to these
cold weather conditions. They have
to work longer hours to keep sthe
planes in flying condition and to
keep the flight deck free Of snow
and ice. And to conpicate. things
they have to wear heavy curnber-
some clothing which reduces. their
efficiency he said.
Cassidy said the current expe-
dition which was sent into north
ern waters to see how fighting
men and machines reacted to sub.
freezing temperatures, had been
handicapped by inadequate wealth
er information.
He recommended that addition.
al land weather stations be estab-
lished in the Arctic and subarctic
in addition to weather reporting
ships, submarines and planes.
Cassidy added that he hoped to
increase the amount the Midway
is allowed to spend for food from
60 to 70 cents a day because the
men need four meals a day as a
result of the heavy work schedule.
some crewmen have been going

No end Of people have written
in about the FIN situation. Many
of the writer's want to know just
when they can sit down and listen
to an FIN broadcast. From all II
can gather on the subject FIN
broadc t and reception will be
with us ere long. Now, some say
that it will be here within the next
90 days. But do know this-that
FIN broadcasting equipment Is
about ready to hit the production
lines and that FIN receiving sets
will be manufactu to keep pace
with the production Of equipment.
A careful estimate places FIN on
the airwaves before the summer is
out. The whole country is waiting
for this new type Of reception. And
well they should for FIN promises
to be one Of the greatest additions
to radio devised for postwar use.
One Of the most important features
Of frequency meditation broad.
casting is that it will eliminate
man-made as well as natural static.
FIN is the ultimate in radio recep
ton and once 1t is properly heard,
by that I mean through receivers
built for the purpose of FIN recep-
ton, this latest development in the
radio field will completely amaze
and astound the listener. One thing
that all agree on is that FIN Is on
its way and with the strikes being
settled it is reliably believed we
will have FIN long before 1t was
originally believed possible.

NEGRO VETS SING
FOR GI'5 ABROAD

PARIS, Jan. Is (ANP). = The
Caisson choir, an all-Negro group
of 80 trained spiritual singers, has
been appearing in Red Cross clubs
throughout the European Theatre
of Operations on a six-months' en-
gagement that has made them one
of the most travelled groups in the
U. S. army.
Made up of tWo-star veterans of
the 350th and 351st FA battalions,
the choir was formed at Camp Liv-
ingston, La, in 1943, and later
transferred to Fort Sill, Okla,
where the men sang to 10000 GIs
and over several radio networks. In
Europe they have appeared at st.
PauPs and Westminster Central
hall in London, Glasgow, Edin-
burgh, Paris, Cannes, Nice, Le-
Havre, Rouen, Brussels, and Ant
werp.
Their repertoire consists of
Negro spirituals, English ballads
and popular American songs. Sew
eral arrangements by William T.
Dawson, head of the music depart
ment of Tuskegee institute, are
used.
The singers are under the direc-
ton of Chaplain H. A. Robinson of
Delaware and Pfc. Thomas E. Reid
of Philadelphia, a graduate of How
ard university.

white AND NEGRO
VETERANS PLAN new
INTERRAIAL ORGANIZATION

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 (ANP)-
Plans for the organization of an
interracial veterans body were out
lined here during d meeting of white
and Negro World War II veterans
at the Theresa hotel under the lea
dership of James Watson Jr., son
Of Municipal Court Justice James
S. Watson.
Watson, who previously had set
up a statewide body that met a day
earlier at the West 135th Street
branch of the YMCA, said that his
group desired mo political affilia-
tions as such" but wished to grow
up as a representative organization
of the younger veterans" The or
ganization will mot allow itself" to
become "the tool of any special
group, communist or otherwise"
The slowness of other veterans
groups is responsible for the organ
ization of the new body "on an in
terracial basis" Watson said.
Maurice Stember, deputy adju-
tant of the New York State depart
ment of the American Legion, re-
marked that the policy of the Le-
gion was to prevent the organiza-
ton of ''too many posts" and that
his office would discourage the
mushroom growth of new posts
where a single veteran sometimes
carries a post in his hip pocket for
personal or political purposes.

DELTAS BACK STRIKERS BY

RICHMOND, Va, January II
(ANP) - A resolution to boycott
the products of the American To-
bacco company was adopted here
by 120 delegates to the 10Th ma
tional convention of the Delta Sig
ma Theta sorority at Virginia Un-
ion university.
"All organized groups should
recognize their opportunity and
responsibility in the abolition of
hatred, bigotry and prejudice. Such
a program would involve self edu-
cation as we'll as social education.
"Prejudice, one Of the unsolved
issues of the war, should be given
greater consideration by UNO
