Slightly Off The Record
Dear Peggy
Wilmington, N. c.
May 26. 1915.

Dear Peggy
Another one of our special favorites who grew up in Will
to us last week for a visit. We refer to Mrs. Thomas Ramsaeur
of Baltimore who is the attractive guest of her sister, Mrs. Oscar
Peck at her home 140 Grace street In our opinion Amyeria
Stevenson Rannsaeur represents a combination of the suavity,
poise, and sophistication of THE Green Spring Valley set, in
Baltimore, with the sweetness and natural graciousness of one
of DUR own home town girls. And by the way, she was looking
unusually smart in a black and pink silk print dress with which
she wore a small lowered hat of delicate pink.
Mrs. Francis Curtzwiler of Toledo, Ohio, arrived in the city
on Thursday and is visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Storm for several
days before occupying her home at l Hydrangea Place in oean-
der, for the month of June. DR.. CurtzWiler will join Mrs. Curtz-
wier here shortly for a brief stay, and her daughter, Mrs; John
Robert Anthony Beatty; of New York city, nee Anne Ernpe Kidder
of Wilmington, is also expected to arrive early in June to be with
her mother. Needless to say, Frances Curtzwiler's innumerable
friends are giving her the Warmest kind of a welcome, for
besides being one of the most charming and capable members
of the local social contingent, she is famous for her ability to mix
pleasantly with people, which you may be sure places her high
on the popularity list with Wilnningtonians of all ages.
Ensign Robert R. Belamy USNR arrived in Wilmington on
Friday from San Diego, Calf, where he has been stationed for
three months, and is now spending his terminal leave with his
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Hargrove Benamy at their
home 14I7 Market street. Ensign BeIany saw duty in the
Pacific, aboard an Ism, and served with distinction m the navy
for the past three and a half years. He intends to return to the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to complete his edu.
cation which was Interrupted by the war. Having watched Robert
grow up from a youngster, I think I share the sentiments of all
who know him when I say that he has become as fine 2 young man
as you will meet anywhere. In short, he has EVERYTHING
a splendid mind-a grand sense OF hunor-good looks-toerance
aalore-mlnnted generosty-and last, but certainly not least,
an abundance of character. Happy landings, Robert!
MI. and Mrs. Louis B. Orrel are planning a "trip to West Point,
N. Y, in the near future, where Mr.. orren will attend a reunion OF
the class of 1911, of which he was a member.
Did I tell you, in an earlier letter, that Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley
Winborne have purchased the George A. Carey home In Forest
Hills? I feel sure you will remember this nice young couple. Mrs;
Winborne is the former Mary ROBERTSON oausn1er O. u.

compromise himself. Unfortunately, Ambassador Bonnet became excited and forgot to offer the proposal. Following this, Gromyko did stage the walkout which Dr. Evatt anti cipated. Later, however, Colonel Hodgson presented the compromise in an open session of the Security Council, and the Australian plan finally was adopted-though not in time to prevent the Soviet exit.
 Long in advance of making his proposal, Colonel Hodgson had per formed a lobbying job which would have done credit to any American big business corporation. He had buttonholed various members of the Security Council and persuaded them to vote for the Australian compromise plan. He had managed to get the support of Ambassador Oscar Lange of Poland, who turns somersaults at the slightest nod from the Soviet Ambassador.
 Note-Evatt is leaving for Paris next week to attend the Peace Conference in person.

dates: also criticized inequities in the type of clothes issued officers and enlisted men in Alaska.
 Enlisted men stationed at Ladd Field, near Fairbanks in Alaska, were not permitted to wear the heavy Arctic clothes and furs is- sued to officers, Douglas said, be cause the powers that be were afraid some visiting general might mistake us for officers. AS re- suit, he added, a number of GI.'s became i'll from the intense Alas kan cold.
 Tt did us no good to gripe, Douglas testified, because all our mail from Alaska was heavily cen sored."
 General Doolittle said he was aware of the problem, but that ef- forts were under way to correct 1t by standardizing officers and en- listed mems clothing and making 1t possible for enlisted men to voice their complaints to travelling in- spectors general without going through the usual chain of com- mand.

United States, Russia and Iran, Australia has dominated the Con- ference.
 Most significant move made by the Evatt- -Hodgson team was the original Australian proposal that both Iran. and Russia be asked to submit their views in writing. AL though not adopted until after So- viet Ambassador Andrei Gromyko had walked out, actually this plan was put forth on Evatt's sugges- tion well in advance.
 Evatt told ms colleague in New York that he should do everything possible to prevent a Soviet walk out-which he, Evatt apparently figured was definitely in the works.
 To that end, Colonel Hodgson asked French Ambassador Henri Bonnet to offer Evatts proposal as a compromise during three-power meeting of Secretary Byrnes, So- viet Ambassador Gromyko and French Ambassador Bonnet. Other members of the Security Council were not present, so tha Hodgson was unable to present tn

Ia couple need to marry on? Does this mean that financial prudence is creeping into the marriage market? For the subject of the marriage budget hasn't been publicly debated for half dozen years at least well before Pearl Harbor young people have been giving no thought to salaries, bud- gets or nest eggs as they have rushed to marriage license bureaus. The threat and later the presence of war caused them to grab at life uninhibited by caution
 The Womans Home Companion, in recent poll of selected group of women readers, found fairly modest ideas prevailing to the needed income for newlvweds The middegrounders said couple could live on from $40 to $45 week without the wie's working If the wife worked expenses would be hlgher and the income would have to be around $50. Esti- mates varied greatly for different parts of the country and and city These standards seem moderate compared the ideas of 1929 when fashion magazines were asking Can bride live on $5000 year?" However that year described by social historians as one of extravagant spending and whoopee making,
 year which shoes sold for S2250 and hats for $50! Yet do not these 1929 prices have familiar ring? And with the bulge in the price line in imminent danger of giving way under .business usual pres sure it is not unlikely that the hypothetical marriage budget may rise again.
 Whether love will continue to laugh at budgets IS question: In the past rising living standards have usually depressed the marriage market by postponng marriage to later and more secure years. But the United States is still the grip of wars emotion, and also in the marrying mood. There are even some evidences that you regained of the marriage daring of pioneer days But this daring hold out under present complexities? In the early 1800s certain foreign visitors were the widespread custom of girls and boys in their teens marrying without dovries savings possessions, visible means of sus- tenance and setting out to build log cabins in the wilderness. One handicap to such marriage daring today is that not even a log cabin is available, let alone wilderness. The housing situation if not the marriage budget may slow the march to the altar

AUSTRALIANS EVATT TELE-
 PHONES

The strident, irrepressible voice of Australias External Affairs Min ister Herbert Eyatt has been ab- sent from the United Nations Se- curity Council meeting. But, be- hind the scenes, his direct presence is definitely felt. Every evening, Evatt talks by trans-Pacific tele- phone to the Australian Delegate, Col. w. R. Hodgson. The two have achieved perfect teamwork, and many of the Australian moves in the Irania crisis were matched in advance over the teleuhone.
 In fact the Australian telephone bill at the end of the Conference may look like the national debt, be- cause some trans-Pacific talks lasted an hour.
 Results. however, appear to jus tify the cost. For, along with the

 Among other things, the United States Army has just declared surplus for sale the public 433 727 washboards and 1884 249 bars of laundry soap Is this merely another casual unloading of unwaned material or is it. do you suppose another step in the carefully thought-out plan to popularize Army enistments?
 In our minds eye can just see the motnerly type of Sergeant sometimes to be found at Army Re cruiting Stations throwing friendly arm about the shoulder of a prospective enlisted man and saylngs Look Buddy we've done got rid of all them wash boards and laundry soap, you don't haveta worry about nothing like washing clothes. Incidentally, be- fore we forget, the characters mentioned in this editorial are purely fictona and any resemblance to actual persons living dead is strictly coincidental
 Well, if the armed forces can encourage enlist ments by dvesting themselves of all paraphernalia that suggests work, say more power to them, but they really make the act entirely convincing we suggest that they not stop with selling few million bars of laundry soap and half million wash boards but go all the way and sell their 4O0Oo0O0 suits of fatigue work clothes their 35000000 shove picks rakes scythes sckes, lawnmowers- perhaps even their three four million potato pairing knives
 On second thought they had better preserve specimens of all such equipment-n for no other reason than for educational purposes, to show the incoming rockies the implements with which their elder brothers won World War IT.

TO PASS OR NOT TO PASS

According to word received from Ketchikan yester- day. a large number of Ketchkan merchants are sponsoring advertisements stating that they will not pass along the new sales for the veterans fund to the consumers but will absorb it themselves since they feel it is the least they do for the men who fought overseas to save their businesses.
 Some of the Ketchikan merchants have already stated however that they will pass the tax along to the consumer But since the advertisements of the ~absorbers" have come up, many of these have abandoned their stand Obviously the consumer is going to- take his trade to the merchant who doesn't pass the tax along.
 Here in Juneau some of the merchants are for absorbing it and others for passing it along The drug stores have worked out method to collect the tax from the sale of magazines, not charging it on other articles
 From here it looks if most of the merchants. because of competition, will not pass the tax to the consumer To these merchants the tax will be the same as if it were gross income tax which was one of the alternatives at the recent special session.
 At any rate we don't believe that anyone will mind paying the tax because they know that the funds are going to the veterans, and this is the way Alaskans can help repay the debt. The money col lected from this will go out in loans for bonuses to come back to the benefit of all for the development of Alaska AS soon as the debt is obligated the tax will cease exist which is another advantage of the revenue measure and
