If all residents comply with the re-
quirements enumerated by the census
taking force, headed by William B.
Bournelle of the Census Bureau, Wash
ington, not only the population but the
business, industrial, education, cultural
and economic resources of Wilmington
will be listed in the canvass scheduled
to get under way today.
This mid-period census of Whining
ton is among the most constructive and
generally helpful projects in the city s
postwar program. Not only will it re-
veal what the community has but in
large measure what it needs. It can
be the guide book, in way the open
sesame, for the city.
Residents are urged to be prepared
for the enumerators when they arrive.
And not only be at home but have all
answers ready. It is large job, taking
time. In the interest of completing
needed project with all possible speed,
let every person have all requested in
formation at hand and save the work
ers a second call.

Picture Not Pretty

There are two sides to the meat
picture and neither is pretty.
One is painted by the American
Meat Institute which blames the Of
flee of Price Administration for
countrywide black market in meat
which it claims costs the American pub
lie $1,25O,OQ0,O0O a year. At House
Agriculture Committee hearing, James
H. Mccall, the Institutes chairman,
declared: "The meat racket under OPA
makes the liquor racket of the 1920's
seem like petty crime" He added the
only remedy is removal of controls
from the livestock and meat industry.
That's one side: The other is a
Washington announcement by the OPA
that beginning on Monday housewives
will pay more for most pork and a
third of all beef cuts, with advances in
the price of veal, lamb and mutton to
be announced later. The increases are
attributed to the additional 16 cents an
hour authorized for packing industry
workers.
1t remains only to add that OPA's
alleged battle against initiation is given
another push in the opposite direction.

Fire Box Injunction

The Gamewell Company, which pre-
scented the high bid for fire alarm
boxes, has sued out an injunction on
the City of Wilmington restraining it
from completing it's contract with the
low bidder-the Wilmington Electrical
Supply Company-for Horni Company
boxes. Among the fourteen points in
the Gamewell injunction application, it
is alleged the City had done this COM
y "irreparable damage" by rejecting
it's bid.
1t is not the purpose of this news
paper to try this case either in it's news
or editorial columns. That will be done
at an open hearing in court. But it
is to be noted that the Gamewell bid
was for $13,5975O and the Horni bid
for $1O,822.O0. Here is a saving of
close to $4,000 for Wilmington tax
payers who are proper beneficiaries I'M
der the principle of open bidding justly
prevalent everywhere and which was
finally employed in this contract after
bitter opposition.
1t would appear that the taxpayers
of Wilmington would suffer the cir
reparable damage" claimed by the
Gamewell Company had the low bid
been rejected, especially as Horni fire
alarm boxes are used in some forty
cities including New York, Albany,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Newark, Nor
folk, Knoxville, Dallas and Seattle.

Doctor Says
WAR PROMOTED
GROUP MEDICINE
Bv WILLIAM A. o'BRIEN, M. D.


Physicians who served in the
armed forces or in the Puollc
Health Service during the war de-
veloped a marked interest IN pre-
ventive medicine, psychlatry, ana
more effective methods for the
distribution and care OF the Aek
and wounded. They discovered,
too. that working in groups IS the
most efficient way to render medl-
cal service.
World War II records indicate
that we had the highest percent
age of wound recovery and the
lowest incidence of disease In our
battle history. :,
Physicians who participated in
these developments are returning
to their various communities eager
to promote immunization and bet
ter sanitation everywhere.
Psychiatry is the medical sps-'
cialty which deals with the men
tally i'll. Though there never has
been a time when we have had
enough psychiatrists, much mental
illness can be treated by the gen
eral practitioner, as the majority
of the cases are mild or are COM
plications of physical failings.
Society needs highly specialized
hospitals for those suffering from
unusual injuries or illnesses. and
the teaching hospitals which have
been developed in connection with
medical schools supply this need.
Urban areas have hospitals man
med by doctors who can care for all
other types of illness.
People who live in the country
usually have to travel to reach the
type Of medical service which Is
supplied in cities, but many highly
trained specialists plan to enter
practice in small communities.
The community hospital, it IL
thought, henceforth will be the
center of medical activities for the
general medical practitioner. In
the least populated areas. these
institutions will contain eight to IL
beds to be used for obstetric, medl-
cal. pediatric, and emergency pa
tents. Community hospitals will not
be used for complicated operations,
as special hospitals will be located
within an hours driving distance.
If the former medical officers
have their way, group practice, in
which each physician concentrates
upon some particular phase OF
medicine, will be the rule. Con-
tinued education of the practicing
physician is possible only If he is
able to get a replacement when he
goes away, and group practice
facilitates this. Then, too, 1t en-
courages consultations between the
group members, and this assures
better service for the patients.
Service physicians are returning
to civilian life in large numbers,
but many are not re-entering pri-
waite practice until they can secure
advanced training and experience.
Medical schools and hospitals are
helping them acquire this desired
education.

Mr.. A. c. Nichols,
City Manager,
Wilmington, N. c.
From the newspaper accounts
Wilmington is now on its way to
becoming a real port today. Since
an industrial agent has been ap-
pointed to secure for Wilmington
new industries, I would like to Of
fer a suggestion that I feel is es-
sential before we can make the
progress we desire in securing
manufacturing plants to locate in
Wilmington.
We can obtain property that can
be served by the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad company and ad.
|jacent to the Cape Fear river, for
industries, which would enable the
companies to receive and forward
commodities over rail and water
routes. The Atlantic Coast Line
Railroads present Belt line stops
at the Atlantic Refining Company
terminal. which is located On the
river road just beyond the North
Carolina Shipbuilding company. 1t
would be my suggestion that
representative Of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad company, City coun-
Gil and property owners get togeth-
err and agree to equally share in
the expense Of extending rail facii-
ties south in the direction of the
former plant Of Ethyl Dow Cheni-
cal company, to an agreed distance
Of approximately five miles and
make extensions as needed when
justified after the new industries
are located where rail and water
facilities are available.

Editorial Comment
FRIENDLY SPRING FLOWING

Neighborliness, which among other things
means friendliness, is an American practlce
ever since the early settlers used to lend
hand to each other in clearing land, harvesting
crops or building log cabins. In city, town, or
village, the housewife across the way bakes
big pan of brownies, and brings over plate
piled high with them. Differing aspects, but
the same thing.
--latest example of neighborliness to make
the headlines occurred in Texas when Ger
tain farmer became incapacitated One OF
these fine spring mornings Al OF his nelghbors
showed up with At tractors and plowed the
200 acres for HMM exactly one hour and
80 minutes!
A little neighborliness covered a lot of
ground in this instance. little friendliness
usually does go surprisingly far Herein is an
American tradition which deserves to be ex-
tended increasingly to the worldwide COM
munity of nations. - Christion Science Mon

And, of course, about Miss de

It's this way: Cal is one of j.

WAKE OF THE RED WITCH, by Gar
land Roark little, Brown; s2.75).
In some 430 pages written just
to keep you reading, and succeed
ing in it, too, Roark has put to-
gether a combination adventure
mystery yarn that spans the last
rs years and ranges over two
oceans and two civilizations, prim-
tive and modern.
To match these extremes in
place and time, there is no passion
except red-hot passion, no drunk
except crazy drunk, no danger eX-
cept mortal danger, no ambition
except unholy ambition, no +or-
tune less than fabulous, no girl
less than divinely beautiful.

GUS South Seas, one in the enor-
NOUS trading empire built ruth
lessly under the name Of Batjak,
one in the pearls preserved deep
in a tropical lagoon under the
Iquadruple guard of whites, ma
|t1ves, sharks and an octopus.
The women of course are made
for love and definitely disinclired
to waste themselves. Back in su-
rope it's Zulinde; out in the palm
fr1nged islands there are Lonyta,
Angelique, Teleia, with and with
