Third and Market

If the downtown streets under traf-
fic signal regulation were of uniform
width one dangerous intersection would
not exist. But both Third and Market
streets are much wider than the others
and pedestrians require more time to
cross either.
With the lights there changing on
the same schedule as at others, mar
rover. intersections, pedestrians must
either increase their pace practically to
a dog-trot to make the crossing on time
or be caught in the path of approach
ing vehicles, and all drivers are not
sufficiently considerate of pedestrians.
Either the lights at Third and Mar
ket should be operated separately with
a longer green light period, or pedes-
train islands plainly and frequently
painted and large enough to accomo-
date several persons should be main
tanned at the center of both streets.

touching the funds earmarked for a
tuberculosis sanatorium.
Such a structure, with a stage at
one end and a kitchen at the other,
could take care Of concerts, of large
Unattended banquets, convention gath
erings and even indoor winter sports.
The need for a hall larger than the
high school gymnasium for basketball
game spectators vas emphasized during
the last playing season when the high
school team played at home and hun
dreds Of potential spectators were
turned away, to the financial loss of the
schools athletic fund and the disap-
pointment of persons who could not
gain entrance to the gym.
Furthermore and aside from meeting
a public need, the county would re-
ceive revenue for the halls rental.
There is no doubt that the demand for
it's use would grow.
Of course it would be necessary for
the Board of Commissioners to make
some of the long-needed improvements
at the stadium reservation, but sure
ly the returns, added to the increasing
use of the stadium for outdoor sports,
would justify both the required effort
and investment.
Also, if the county undertook this
project the city administration could
no longer well neglect the Carolina
Beach highway from the lake to the
city limits. Safety as we'll as conven-
fence would compel the council to
catch up with its work.

upon their surface. After this, the
tea is spread out in darkened
rooms or placed in drawers, and
then covered with damp curtains
so arranged that they do not actual
ly touch the leaves. The heat and
moisture cause the tea to fer
ment, after which it goes through
a sort of baking process to arrest
fermentation and dry out the
leaves.
1t is this fermentation that
changes the color of the leaves
and gives us what is called black
tea. Green tea is not fermented;
it is steamed and baked soon aft
er it is gathered. There is a third
type of tea in which the leaves
are only partially fermented. This
is called oolong.
The leaves must now be sorted
into sizes and qualities. Sleeves of
various meshes are employed Tor
the purpose. Then, after a second
drying, the tea is ready for mar
ket.

Councils Fin Selections

After selecting it's wi chiefs at the
reorganization session on Saturday,
the City Council unanimously, ever
vociferously, reelected James R. Ben
son city manager and Mrs. Mary B.
Switzerland city clerk.
The small audience in the Council
chamber roundly %aprlauded, and it is
doubtless true that Wilmington's peo-
pie are equally pleased with the selec-
tons.
Mr.. Benson has been in the city's
employe so long as city clerk, and was
80 familiar with municipal affairs and
the attitude Of the residents, that when
a former council elevated him to the
office of city manager he promptly
fulfilled the confidence placed in him.
Mrs. Switzerland, with her long ex-
perience as chief aide to Mr.. Benson
and thorough understanding of the re-
sponsibilities to be assumed through her
Advancement, has administered the
city clerks office efficiently, and with
the graciousness inherent in Southern
women.
Naturally the council insisted that
William B. Campbell continue as city
attorney. 1t would not be easy to con-
template a change in that office. Mr..
Campbell is really a Wilmington tradi-
ton.

A Chance for the County

Wllmlngton's project for a conven-
ton hall, or city auditorium as it is
generally known, is not dead but Sleep
ing. How long the nap will continue is
beyond mortal ken. If the future re-
sernbles the past, it might last as long
as Rip Van Wrinkles.
If this is an exaggeration. as of
course it could be, it may be said
truthfully that there is no prospect of
the project getting past the drafting
board stage soon. The hope is an angel
will appear with a bag of gold, but as
we have learned from long experience
financial angels are scarce in Whining
ton.
Yet, Wilmington needs an auditor
ium. With one it could be a preferred
convention city; it could attract large
audiences for a great variety of cul.
tural and entertainment events.
So, if the city cannot see its way
clear to finance the splendid building
already blue printed, the county might
be prevailed upon to construct a one
story building to house, say, up tx
three thousand persons at the soutf
end of the Legion Stadium property.

World Needs More To Eat

This cereal shortage is made 70
appear greater by a number Of
complicating factors. Wheat must
be used as a substitute for rice,
meats, fats, and oils. Grains nor
mally fed to livestock had to be
alkocated for human consumption.
That has made it impossible to
build up livestock and poultry
numbers to increase meat, dairy
products, and eggs supplies to
prewar levels.
Meat production in Europe is
still only 60 per cent prewar. That
pulls world production down to
s or 10 below prewar. Meat prices
are still SO high that importing
| countries cannot afford to buy.
That creates a still greater de-
mand for cereals.
Fats and oils supply is estimat-
ed 20 per cent less than prewar in
total Tonnage, but Is per cent less
on a per capita basis because OF
population creases.
Production of pulses-peas and
beans other than soybeans-is es-
timated slightly above prewar. But
there will be a third less pulses
than the importing countries are
demanding to make up for short
ages in meats, cereals. fats and
oils.
Early estimates put next years
world sugar production at this
years level. European and Fill
Pine production may be up, but
Cuban production is expected to
drop.
This S the sad picture that con-
fronts food experts as they meet
to divide up world supplies. What
it indicates is that world food
production is not recovering nor
correcting itself as rapidly as ii
should.
The hard fact seems TO be that
the governments themselves have
not provided adequate machinery
for dealing with these food short
age situations. Deficit countries
have been lax in their controls.
They have not controlled their inn
ports and have not collected all
indigenous food supplies. They
have not rationel wisely and have
not stopped black markets. Most
of all they have not concentrated
on getting their food production
back to prewar levels. When short
ages become acute they take the
easy road of appealing to the U. S.
for food or for loans to buy food.
This is nov an old story to which
the U. S. Congress 10 showing less

WASHINGTON, - In well-fed
America is hard to get excited
about food shortages in other parts
of the world. Yet anyone with a
nickel's worth Of sense must realize
that there can be no peace or sta
bility until more people have
enough to eat. Hunger is the
worlds public enemy number one.
The report which Sec.-Gen. D.
A. FITZGERALD has just made to the
International Emergency Food
Council meeting he1. in Washing
ton points up some Of the horrible
truths of this situation.
World War II was seven times
as destructive as World War l.
1882 billion as against a mere
$186- billion damage. Obviously,
recovery cannot be as quick and
easy as in 1920-21.
The world acreage under the
pillow is no greater than it was lC
years ago, but the population has
increased by from 5 to 10 per cent.
In Southeast Asia alone it is esti'
mated there are 100 million more
people to be fed than there were
in 1888.
Living standards are rising ali
over the world. People want more
to eat. People who used to be con
tent with cor or rice now want
more wheat and meat.
In the face Of these conditions
which tend to aggravate wartime
food shortages, manw old world
countries are finding it necessary
to continue food rationing. In some
countries the ration may have to be
cut, even though new crops will
soon be harvested. II not cut now
there may be worse shortages next
spring.
The first rule Of politics is that
the rations must be maintained
or the governments imposing them
will fall.
Today there are only three areas
in the world that have more basic
bods-grains and meat-than they
will consume. They are Argentina,
the U. S. and Canada, Australia
and New Zealand. The fights
among the importing countries for
larger shares Of the exporting
countries SURPRISES have been
long and bitter, behind the closed
doors Of IEFC commodity COM
mittees.
Despite record wheat crops and
exports from the U. S. and Argen-
tina, lower production Of cereals
in the old world will make this
years total supply less than last
years.

in order of size, young hysop,
hyson and imperial. In India and
Ceylon, the bud and first leaf are
called broken, or flowery, orange
peko( pronounced peck-o), and the
other three leaves are called
orange peko, peko and souchong.
When tea is taken 10 the factory
the baskets are emptied out onto
shallow trays, which r then
carried to a heated room, through
which a strong current of air is
forced. This softens and withers
the leaf. Special machines con-
sisting Of cylinders rotating in hot
air are often used instead of the
open trays.
Now the leaves are passed
through a machine which curls
them and presses the puice out
