In breaking down the figures,
White said that the approved goal
for the campaign is some $50, 600
less than was asked for last year
and item for item Is only four per
cent above the 1916 figures. The
nationwide increase for l947, the
speaker said, is 16 per cent placing
this city rs per cent below the ma
tional Community Chest average in

tons from past years from employ
es Of the North Carolina ShiuDuild-
ing company, Eythl-Dow and other
firms will be unavailable this year.
White urged that heads Of firms
and corporations with small or
large payrolls, adopt the payroll
deduction plan in order that the
drive may be assured from its
inception.
Answering a few of his own ques-
tons, White said that the drive pro-
per will run from OCTOBER l through

canvas, which is now underway,

drive: that one out OF every five
people in Wilmington are directly
or indirectly aided each year by
the Community Chest. One new
unit has been added to the Red
Feather group this year-tne Fam

1915 were but three per cent of the
amount raised, he added.

Five hundred or more Whining
ton boys and girls are expected to
take part in a colorful parade
through Front street probably on
Saturday morning, November 2,
as a prelude to a two-hour safety
meeting and entertainment in
Legion stadium. Photographers re-
presenting Fox Movietone News
will come to the city to film the
event for showing in the thousands
of motion picture threatres of the
United States and Canada which
exhibit Fox Movietone regularly.
Preliminary plans for the big
event which the Wilmington
Kiwanis club voted unanimously to
sponsor at its regular meeting yes
terday, were unfolded for the club
members by Ken Noble, local pub
licist, who was introduced by John
E. Hope.
Noble told Kiwanians that while
many angles for the event remain
to be worked out, preliminary
plans call for a monster parade OF
boys and girls on bicycles through
Front street to Legion stadium.
There they will be instructed on
safety rules by members Of the
State Highway Patrol, city and
county traffic squad members and
former City Police Captain John
Davis who has been teaching safe
ty to school children here for many
years.
Variety Programs
The safety part Of the program
would be interespersed with a high
class vaudeville program, Noble
said.
Following his presentation Of the
novel idea, club members voted
unanimously to sponsor the event.
E. L. White, chairman of the
Special Gifts committee for the
forthcoming Community Chest
drive, was the guest speaker for
the day. He outlined the purpose
and scope Of the annual drive
which has a goal of sos, 204 for
1947 fund requirements. In addi-

The flames spread quickly

Wind Saves Block
1--WE thought the Whole block

a night Of fighting the flame and
smoke which rolled from the tobac-
CO stored in the buildings.
A change of wind when the
flames reached their height was
a major factor in the saving Of
the block surrounding the ware
houses, he added.
The structures were partially
covered by insurance, Rose said,
and added that as far as he had
been able to ascertain the tobac-
co owned by farmers was insured.
Stores and other business estab-
lishments in the vicinity Of the
burning building were emptied Of
their stocks when it appeared they
would catch fire.

as he is concerned, "the important

Wilmington has lost nothing, since

Col. B. c. Andrus, chief Of the

In all countries men are seeking

They lost their way when they
undertook to begin the settlement
of the world war by dealing first,
not with the central issues, but
with the peripheral and secondary
issues. AS all of us should have
foreseen, as all must now see, it
has been impossible to settle the
world war Of Trieste or in the
Balkins, or in Iran. The failure to
do what every previous peace con-
ference has done-namely to deal
first with the principal enemy

an endless series Of insoluble minor
