Community
Chest Drive
Is Extended

Unless Montgomery County's
Community Chest drive gets a
quick shot in the arm, it is going
to be recorded as the first failure

made yesterday by Mrs. Albert

chairman of the current campaign
who told reporters that the Coun-
ty Chest has now collected rs per
cent of it's quota, or $4,000 out
of an expected $126,640.
She added that her co-workers
were planning to avail themselves
Of the campaign extension to Dec
ember 3 to push the Montgomery
section over the top.
At the same time, Mrs. Walker
made public the current break

County Areas, with their quotas,

road work on the approaches is

Plans For a
Better Town

The Rockville Chamber of Com

meeting Monday evening due to
the fact that many members

tain evening before Christmas in
competition with those of othes
towns.

Miss Fields Reaches
95th Anniversary

Miss Margaret Fields, the only
surviving child Of the late
Matthew Fields, who established
the Sentinel in 1855, is very i'll at
her home. On Wednesday, No
vember 18th she reached the ripe
old age of 95.
Despite her age Miss Fields had
continued very active until after
the death Of her sister, Mrs. David
Warfeld, early in the year, which
seems to have taken from her the
desire TO live. Her mother lived
over 100 years TO be called the
oldest newspaperwoman in the
world.

Unsuitable Delay

President Truman is being severely
criticized by certain members of Con-
gress for postponing his message on the
state of the nation from yesterday until
next Monday. Their argument is that,
the President, having castigated Con-
gress for delaying essential legislation
in a recent broadcast to the people, is
now, himself, guilty of doing just that,
inasmuch as the established custom
long has been for Congress to take no
action until the President has delivered
his message.
The present exception to this custom,
however, appears to be justified. OBJ
vioUsly, Mr.. Truman hopes to be able
to announce settlement Of the steel
controversy and possibly the end of
the General Motors, the packing house
workers and the electricians strikes
when he goes before Congress on Mon
day. Until existing labor disputes and
strikes are disposed of, any message on
the state of the nation could at best be
but gloomy recital of failures.
The President may not achieve all
that he hopes to do by next Monday,
but restoration of peace in the steel
industry would be the stepping stone
to general labor peace, and the tone of
his message could be much more hope
full.
The Presidents course since the
honeymoon ended has not been es-
pecially commendable, but in this one
decision he certainly does not deserve
to be reproved, especially by members
Of a Congress which devoted so much
Of it's time before the recess to dilly-
dallying.

Scent Air Mail

Not long ago it was forecast that
air travel would ultimately be reduced
to 3 cents mile. Now we hear that 8
cents an ounce is considered for air
mail.
1t came about at a conference of
Postmaster Robert E. Hannegan and
his aides with officials of the air trans
port industry. "The postal officials"
says recent article in the New York
Times, land the industry representa-
tlves agreed that the present air postal
rate of 8 cents could be reduced to :
cents and still show a profit for the
Postoffice Department Of $4,000, 900
yearly" Whereupon Rep. Robert E.
Ramspeck, vice president of the Air
Transport Association, suggested the
rate be cut to 3 cents.
Only in recent years has there been
any thought that the Postoffice Depart
ment should produce revenues above
operating expenses. The hope for many
years was to get to the point where it
could operate without deficit. Not un-
til James A. Farley became postmaster
general and made a great TODD over
issuing special stamps for any ana
every occasion, and postal rates were
increased in consequence, along with
heavy sales of new issues to collectors.
did the department pass the deficit
stage.
1t would seem wise for the postal
officials to make a new schedule of
rates which would cover costs of OPERA
ton and eliminate profits, so that the
people might benefit by the change.
A Scent air mail rate would be a
boon.

Wants A Throne

We no more than recover from the
shock of learning that Hirohito admits
he is a mere human that word comes,
via Baltimore Sun correspondent, that
he is not even entitled to the Mikado.

throne on the ground that 554 years
ago Hirohito's ancestors drove out the
priests progenitors and have ruled il
legally ever since He asks General
Macarthur to give him back the crown.
Well, it's a poor country that can't
afford a pretender.

Victory Clothing Drive

Wilmington is making a belated
start in the Victory Clothing campaign,
which is already more than a week old,
but is fortunate to have Wilbur R..
Dosher, postmaster, as director, or
chairman, of the drive. Mr.. Dosher
made an outstanding success of last
winters campaign. With similar CO.
operation from church organizations
and the schools, there is no reason why
this city should not contribute more
literally than then.
The need is for warm clothing, bed
ding and shoes. Wilmingtonians who
have shivered in the current cold spell
can easily picture the suffering of mil
lions in Europe who are still pitifully
thinly clad, after German depredations
during the war, many of whom must
perish if American aid is not forthcom-
ing quickly.
They have no money to buy raiment.
Even if they had, there are no markets
for them to patronize, except perhaps
black markets holding their goods at
prohibitive prices even for the well-to-
do.
This is one appeal which does not in
clude money All that is wanted is worn
apparel and bedding. Surely Whining
ton attics contain many articles no long
err needed which could be given without
cost to the donor.
When Mr.. Dosher has perfected his
organization and designated his deposi-
tories, there should be steady flow
of gifts which will bring comfort to
war victims and possibly save many
from death from exposure and disease.
Donors are urged by the national
organization to tie shoes together and
tack" coats and vests and skirts and
waists or jackets, that they may not
become separated in packing and so
lose at least half their value.
The problem of keeping related items
together is important as all clothing
collected is shipped to Treasury Depart
ment warehouses for processing and
packing, and in such mass handling it
is almost impossible for workers to
trace stray shoes and other items.
The national goal is one hundred
million garments. Let Wilmington's
contribution be noteworthy, in the name
of humanity.

A BROTHERS. VISIT
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Last week met the British
Prime Minister, and Lord Halifax
and several other dignitaries. 1 al
so had a good talk with my old
friend, Cordel Hull. But none OF
these gave me the deep satisfac.
ton had in visit from my elder
brother.
We talked of family affairs and
of personal interests and of old
times and of public matters. His
ripe and penetrating judgment
upon politics and the world situa-
ton made me, professional in
these fields, very humble.
like to think of Frank as of the
best type of American citizen. He
is a workingman, having come I'D
the hard way of the machinist's
bench to his present position as
superintendent Of a large factory.
His employers gave a splendi-
ferrous party, with lavish gifts, on
his fiftieth anniversary with the
firm. The entire force was pres
ent and paid enthusiastic tribute
to the boss.
Quiet, modest, housekeeping,
church-going, my brother has won
a high place in the esteem of his
community. It seemed to me, dur
ing this happy visit as if he were
