GROWTH OUTLINED
Mrs. Theodore S. Johnson,
National Member, Will
Attend Meeting Here
By MABEL ROGERS
Star-NeWs Staff Writer

Mrs. Theodore S. johnson, of
Raleigh, and National YWCA men,
Der from North Carolina, will be
the main speaker at the first an
nual meeting OF the Wilmington
Young Women's Christian associa-
ton, scheduled to be held in the
'Y" Thursday night at o'clock.
The election of officers will also
take place during the meeting and
ballots which have been prepared
by the nominating committee may
be placed in the ballot box near the
door, Miss Dorothea Mcdowell
executive director said yesterday.
In reviewing the years activi-
ties, Miss Mcdowell said that prior
to her arrival here last April, the
work was carried on without a
board committee. After Miss Nc
Dowell took over the dictatorship
she Immediately started a MEM
bership drive and board members
were elected. Miss Mary Rhyme,
program director in charge of
younger girls work, arrived in
October and began full program
of activities for that age group. At
present, Miss Rhyme has six active
Girl Reserve groups functioning.
Other groups organized during
the year included the Business
Girls club, named the Blue-Tri-

Camp Sites Needed

It is noted with commentator that
the district committee for 1916 is look
ing for Wilmington Boy Scout camp
site. All success to the effort.
The Scouts have been camping here
and there, sometimes on Lake Wacca-
NAV, sometime elsewhere, always en-
joyably and with benefit.
The value to the city troops of hav-
ing their own assembly place for sum-
mer camp, however, is obvious. The
boys would not only have special in
centive to protect the property, but
could create building program which
in time would insure them of ample &C
commodations and Fairgrounds.
At the same time it would be emf
nently fitting to undertake similar
project for the city's Girl Scouts, who
are rapidly growing in numbers and
efficiency, but who lack camp, al
though their need for one is every bit
as great as the Boy Scouts.
With so much unoccupied land with
in the Wilmington area, especially on
the sound, one Of the many owners
have an exceptional opportunity OF
proving his interest in the organization
by deciding or granting long term
lease to whatever acreage the girls
would need.
Girl scouting is not receiving the
public support it deserves. The women
who have so valiantly revived the move
ment are achieving splendidly, despite
the handicap of widespread lndltter
ence.
With summer not so far off, tht
time is ripe for some land owner whose
property is idle to "come across" 81
that the organization may have III
camp.
And. with this done, there is no goot
reason why another owner should no
do as much for the Boy Scouts.

capricious comes firm Capra and
by this you can judge for yourself
what kind of temperaments goats
have. That, emphasize, is another
piece of information the Britanni-
ca does not give you.)
There are lots and lots Of kinds
of goats. In China, India, Egypt,
Europe, and North America III e
goat is chiefly a milk producer
You may remember that Ghandi
usually takes a goat around with
him when he travels. That's be-
cause he drinks hardly anything
but goats milk.
Those nice, soft sweaters you
wear come from goats. These are
the Cashmeres. The Angora goat
also produces wool or mohair. They
make those shiny black mems sum-
mer suits from moAair.
But the milk is probably the
most important product Of the goat,
although lots of people eat the
flesh. Even you may have eaten
goat and thought you were eating
spring lamb.
The chalky white milk of the goat
contains more solids than that Of
the COW. 1t makes excellent chees-
es and probably if it weren't for
goats you wouldn't know as much
about the Swiss as you do because
most of the Swiss cheeses are
made from goats milk. The chees-
es that come from Norway are
made from goats milk. These
cheeses have a nutty flavor.
Maybe you didn't know, but goats
are SO important, even in the Unit
ed States, that there are three
magazines published in this coun-
try about them. The one that in
terests me most is called 'The
Goat World"
However, I find I'm much more
interested in Mrs. Edens' quadrup-
lets. They'd interest me even more
| if could find out if it's unusual
for goats to be born in tours.

Four Kids Born At SCOTS Hill
Almost At Same Time Merely Goats

ured they needed milk. ] also fig
ured that it would be a great deal
more economical for the parents
Of these children to own goats than
it would be for them to own cows.
Economically, I figured right. But
I couldn't sell the idea to the par
ents.
But until yesterday that, in SUBJ
stance, was about all knew about
goats. I wondered, too, if it wasn't
a bit unusual about what happened
to Mrs. Edens' goat.
I didn't get the goats name and
I'm not sure whether the four baby
goats have been named. This shows
I was off in my reporting when I
talked with Mrs. Swami. But there
are extenuating circumstances.
You see, when Mrs. Swami called
me she said:
would you like good story
about four kids being born%"
"All at one time?'' I asked.
Yes" she said.
That naturally snapped me out
of the usual humdrum of the Star
city room and I was about to grab
my coat and make for the Edens'
place, figuring that if we didn't
have Dionne incident at least we
had Keys incident. Il think Keys
is the. name Of those famous quad
ruplets.)
But, then, Mrs. Swami told me
the kids were goats and what with
getting excited one minute and then
being let down the next I forgot to
ask about the names.
In move to piece out my edu-
cation I turned to the Encyclopedia
Enthusiastically to try to find if
there's anything unusual about goat
quadruplets. They forgot to men,
ton this item, though. Maybe the
Britannica people didn't think it
would ever be brought up.
/ did learn, though, that the goat
is the rurninat of the genus Capra.

Editorial Comment
SNOW AND LITERATURE

If the earth's multiplied population were
distributed evenly all over the earth's sur
face, only three people out of each ten would
ever see a snowfall. Snow never falls upon
70 per cent of the earth's surface. 1t is a
novel thought that majority Of the worlds
population does not know what snow is except
from hearsay.
To read, as most of us have, the lines which
tell of the first snowfall and of the snow which
began in the cleaning, We could easily con-
clude that a snowstorm is one of the world S
most familiar sights. But with any impression
that familiarity with snow is universal would
be a profound mistake. 1t just happens that
most of the worlds literature is produced in
the part of the world where snow storms are
common.-Daily Oklahoman.

BY JOHN SKIES

There'd be precious little I'd
know about goats if Mrs. J. S.
Swami, of SCOTS Hill, hadn't tele-
phoned me yesterday.
Mrs. Swami is kinsman of Mrs.
W. H. Edens, also of SCOTS Hill.
Mrs. Edens owns goat, nanny
goat.
Well, it turns out that on the
night of Jan. IS Mrs. Edens' nanny
goat became the mother of four
little goats, two nannies and two
billies. Quadruplets, mind you.
This seemed to me an unusual
amount of goats to be born at one
time. In fact, Mrs. Swami thought
the same thing. She said great
many people have stopped by the
Eden place at SCOTS Hill to see the
goats and that most of these people
have said they never heard Of goat
quadruplets before.
This unusual incident set me to
thinking that my education has
been more neglected than I'd
thought; that it should include a
few items about goats.
1t isn't that I didn't know any
thing at all about goats. When ]
was somewhat younger I owned a
goat with set of harness to fit,
and a wagon. I recall that if you
twist a goats tail he will get-up
and get-up pretty rapidly.
Too, I remember interviewing a
retired Army officer at Pinehurst
who raised goats and he intrigued
me by telling me his goats were
absolutely odorless. Seems there
are several breeds of goats that
are odorless. Among these are the
Nubian and the Toggenburg. These
are used mainly for milking pur.
poses.
When interviewed the Army of.
ficer I was down with a crusading
fever. 1t was about the time when
there were great many more
underprivileged children in North
Carolina than there are now. I fig.

Airport Development

II arrangements are not speedily
made for operation Of the Army Air
Base by any branch of the armed
forces, the county administration will
soon have to draft program of it's own
Lacking experience in such a project
on a large scale, and being busy with
its own normal functions, the Board of
County Commissioners will require the
advice of other air base operators, and
be prepared to invest county funds in
improvements essential in transform
ing the field from a military base into
an air field adapted to the needs of
commercial air lines and private filters.
The Civilian Aeronautics Admins
tration has urged the commissioners to
examine what has been done at Wins
ton-Salem and the success that has ac-
companied the transformation there.
Winston-Salem has found an airport
authority eminently satisfactory. The
county is thereby relieved of the many
details connected with the project,
which it has no time to perform. The
authority there has found it profitable
to employ an airport manager, a man
of experience in air transportation,
whose services have steadily increased
use of the field.
Obviously the CAA would not have
named Winston-Salem if it were not
convinced it's program was good ex-
ample worthy of emulation. The New
Hanover commissioners, with equal OBJ
viousness, would pass up an opportuni-
ty to profit by the experience of the
Winston-Salem field if they neglected
to observe at short range what has been
done to make it's operation successful.
Having seen, and being anxious to
develop the Wilmington field to the
peak of efficiency, it is not to be doubt
ed that they will mould their program
on the Winston-Salem pattern, so far
as it can apply to the local situation,
and particularly employ manager who,
besides seeing that gasoline is always
available for visiting planes and a
ground crew on hand to make repairs
as they are needed, will contact distant
fields with the object of having fliers
routed by way of Wilmington.
In the air age upon which we are
entering filters will be routed as care
fully as gasoline companies routed auto
tourists before the war. Wilmington
may share largely in this practice as
soon as its accommodations are known
at distant fields, particularly as it is
acknowledged by pilots as one of the
country's best.
Whatever the cost to the county of
employing an experienced manager, the
investment would be source of profit.
If, in addition, an airport authority were
also set up, the prospects at Bluethen-
thai would be materially improved.
There is no time to waste in fitting
the airport for civilian use, when and
if all branches Of the nations armed
forces reject it for their own operation.

Second Airport Is
Proposed for County

Proposal to construct a second air
port in the county and an application
for license has been filed with the
Maryland State Aviation commission
The license is sought for site on the
Curtis Savage farm near McHenry,
by Mr.. Savage and by Dr.. w. M. Rey-
nolds, Oakland veterinarian.
The first application for a license
was filed few weeks ago by Will
liam Wildesen, manager of Hamilton
Air Park, of Gormania, w. Va. The
Air Park is proposed for construction
along route so on the Hamilton
farm, Red House.
DR.. Reynolds said that the sites
both at Weber's and at H. J. Swartz-
entruber's, were too small, according
to the specifications of the State
Aviation commission, not allowing
enough clearance for large planes.
The site on the Savage farm is
large enough for the construction of
a runway 1000 feet long, DR.. Rey-
nolds stated.
