Becomes Bride Of 7. G..
Thompson On May 18th

At a ceremony Tuesday, May 7,
at st. Anthony's Catholic church,
Miss Mary Margaret O'Neil, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank O'Neil,
was united in marriage to Thomas
G. Thomson, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Guy Thomson of Reed Point. Rev.

of honor, was dressed in pink and
wore a corsage of white roses.
James Dixon was best man. Mrs.

wedding a navy blue dress with
which she wore a rose corsage and
Mrs. Thompson wore black with a
red corsage.
The bride, a graduate of the Lau-
rel high school with the class of
1914, had been employed for the

ROTARY HEARS DEBATE
ON BUSINESS HONESTY

Allen Gatewood and Paul Wilson
alternately carried the ball Tuesday
when as Rotary program committee
men they presented a debate on
as Business Honesty Declining ?"
which appeared in the May issue of
the Rotarian magazine. Answer
ing eyes, Greed is Driving 1t
Down" was the article written for
the magazine by Clarence G. Mann
ing, superintendent of schools at
Lewiston, Mont, and retiring gov
ernor of district No. 112. "No,
Main Street has Kept It's Morals"
wrote Norman G. Foster, a past
director of Rotary International ard
secretary-treasurer of a general
supply company in Ottawa, Ont,
Canada.
Gatewood read Manning's version
on business honesty, which included
the statement that "the headlOng
drive for money, for profit at any
body's expense, which possesses in
creasing millions of people today
will, unless checked, soon relegate
the whole agelong crusade for high
err ethical standards in business and
the professions to the limbo of
great lost causes"
Citing his contention he cited in
stances coming to his personal at
t%ention.
When Wilson took the floor 70
present Fosters opposite view, he
read: Business honesty, in my
opinion, is not declining. On the
contrary it is on the upgrade = = y
I know there are chiselers, double
dealers and mercenary ch~eapskates
aplenty, and many new mes in the
crop. III 40 years in business
have encountered numbers of them.
But as compared with the great
body of business and professional
men whose word is as good as
their bond and whose pride is in
the quality of their goods and serv-
ices, they are like a few stalks of
wild mustard in a fine field of
wheat"
He too cited instances he had
personally observed to support his
contention that despite a few rene
gades the majority of people are
honest.
Rebuttal was by Fred W. Graft
who after hearing both sides of
the argument and drawing on his
own observations, concluded that
much of the supporting material
was rather restricted and could
hardly be considered as reflecting
the overall-picture. He mentioned
that honesty seems to be inherent
in everyone and that it prevails in
the great majority.
At request of L. A. Nutting, o.
Void expressed his views, based
years of experience. His re-
marks added up to this: There have
been rascals and shady deal
.rs in and out of business. As
far back as he could remember hon
est business and professional people
have outnumbered the dishonest, !
and the majority increases with
each generation. !
B. NJ. Harris, president of the !
Yellowstone banks, contributed his
observations gathered from finance,
He rapidly recounted a number of 8
instances where in that field, especi- I
ally in the larger cities, a vision of
humanitarian service is

Hoover Called In

There is good reason to be gratified
that President Truman has at last call
ed former President Herbert Hoover
into consultation, along with other
prominent citizens, on the world food
situation and the Importance of volun-
tary rationing at home that this coun-
try may do more for the peoples of
war-wrecked nations.
Mr.. Hoover knows more about feed
ing the, worlds hungry and the distri-
button of relief than any person now
living. His work in Europe following
World War was little short of miracu-
lous.
That his advice and leadership were
not sought when UNRRA was organic
ed was serious mistake and may well
account for some of that organization s
failures.
Mr. Hoover is called only into con-
sultation, as yet. It is to be hoped that
the meeting Mr.. Truman has set for
today may result in his taking a con-
tinuing hand in the campaign the
President has started to induce Ameri-
cans to eat less, or at least more ad-
visedly, that the starving hordes in the
war areas may have the nourishing food
they need to become self-supporting
and independent.
Mr.. Hoover's program of voluntary
rationing in the former World War
worked wonders. AS he says, we have
had experience with compulsory ra-
tioning "and an examination will show
that consumption was no greater and
probably less under the voluntary sys-
tenn"
Certainly his recommendations de-
serve more than passing notice. Most
assuredly his services are needed in the
present food crisis.

Mckinney On

Americas Card Authority
One of the most important &C.
tivities undertaken by the Ameri-
can Contract Bridge League dur
ing the war was War Orphans
Scholarships, Inc. The chairman
of the board Of directors of that
organization is Maj.-Gen. Peter c.
Harris of Washington, who was
Adjutant General during World
War I, While I doubt that the gen.
eral plays cards, he gets a big
thrill out of awarding scholarships
for college to the children of serv-
icenen who were killed in action.
So he deserves a spot on our ALL
America team.
Tournaments to raise funds for
this purpose are conducted all over
the country. At recent one in
Philadelphia, today's hand came
up. When the dummy went down
with the singleton king Of hearts,
West reasoned that his only chance
to set the contract was to find his
partner with doubleton diamond.
He knew South should hold the ace
of clubs to justify the opening bid.
so West swung the ten. Declarer
discarded dummy's third diamond
On the good queen of hearts; but
when he played trump, West
went right in with the ace and
played the nine Of diamonds. This
was ruffed in dummy, but East
was able to over-ruff and defeat
the contract.

Didn't Care About Artificial Ice

ice plant in Wilmington was at a
point between Grace and Walnut
streets on Front in a brick building
directly behind the Morrison-Mot
Service station.
Mr.. Outlaw isn't sure of the name
Of the man who experimental with
the ice-making machinery. He tells
me Mr.. Frank Meier, also of here,
who used to operate monument
place in the building passed the in
formation along to him.
It seems some time in the 1890 S
a man came here, probably from up
North, and began experimenting
with ice-making machinery. He
brought a lot of gadgets in here and
began putting them together. After
several months he started up the
machinery to see what it would do.
It didn't do so well. It just sort Of
half-froze the water so the ice was
somewhat mushy.
The man kept on trying, though,
and finally he got his machinery
perfected well enough to be able
to turn out solidly frozen cakes of
ice. He didn't have, according to
Mr.. Outlaw, any too much money,
so he set out to sell stock in his
company.
Apparently few people here were
interested in ice-making because
the man wasn't able to sell any
stock. Discouraged, he dismantled
his machinery and shipped it back
up North where, so far as Mr.. Out
law knows, he began making ice
and doing all right.

Get On The JOB

Some veterans of World War II TAX
ing "on the job" training in Whining
ton have complained bitterly that gov
eminent subsistence pay, guaranteed
under the CT Bill of Rights, has been
long delayed. Their complaint, taken up
with the Veterans Administration by
the Star, has brought the explanation
that either employer or employe may
have delayed forwarding the necessary
documentary proof of eligibility, that
the required forms may have been inn
properly or incompletely made out and
that correspondence resulting has I'M
avoidably consumed time.
It is further explained that much of
the red tape which blocked prompt SUBJ
sistence pay when the system was first
set up has been cut, and that under
average conditions the veteran should
be in line for this compensation within
one week or at most month.
AS the Veterans Administration
took immediate action on the Stars
presentation of complaints and sent
two of it's agents, E. C. Hemingway
and R. V. Elder, from its Fayetteville
office to look into the situation at
close range, it is reasonable to expect
that the delays which have caused &C
tual discomfort to ION the job" trainees
will be done away with and government
checks be forthcoming monthly.
Perhaps it is because there have
been these delays that veterans are
slow to participate in the program
They may also account for the slow
registration of firms making them
eligible for trainees. However this may
be, the ION the job" plan has not had
the cooperation either by veterans O,
employers it deserves. Both are urged
to participate, that normal business
