April 10, -1947.

Dear Peggy -s e..
SPRING HAS COME TO STAY IN our part of the world, with
the trees becoming greener day by day and the flowers bursting
into blooms of gorgeous hues in every garden. All of this is an
indication that summer is "just around the corner. with the open
ing Of the beach season merely a matter of days. We understand
from good authority that Wrightsvile Beach has recently undergone
a vertable face lifting. A spring cleaning campaign has been car
grass and refuse, to say nothing of much painting and building go
ing on. For months numerous out-oftown families have been trying
to rent cottages at Wrightsvlle for the summer and undoubtedly this
will be the banner season at the popular resort. The building boom
in progress at Carolina Beach is unprecedented and with things in
general becoming more stabilized everywhere there is n % reason
why our beaches should not become tops among Americas eastern
coastal Fairgrounds.

In delving around for silver and
information of old silver in the
city. members of the North Caro-
lima Society of the Colonial Danes
have discovered that as early as
1887 Wilmington was the nome
and place of business of a silver
smith, namely John Tying Pea
body.
Although. silversmith Peabody
probably never expected to be a
subject of interest to Wilmington
ians living in 1947, his name will
probably live again when the GO,
lonial Danes present their "olo
Silver Exhibit" April %, at 8 pm
in Gilmour Hall.
Not only will his name 1--we
again on the back of an old piece
of silver brought to light, nu'
George Barton Cutten, authority
on old silver, who will lecture at
q pm. after the opening OF the
exhibit will probably throw adol-
tional light on the early silver
smiths work. T..
According to members heaolng
the Silver show, there Is a posi-
hility of finding silver represent,
ing the work of early silversmlths
in the city as well as outside OF
the city.
The Colonial Danes, however,
ara not combining the exhibit o.
silver to early American pieces,
but will welcome the displays OF
French, English, Irish, German
s~ilvers brought over by immigrat-
In order that silverwork of the
early silversmiths in this area 1aa
which is in the possession of vii,
m rgtonians, might be displayed
With interest, the Colonial DANES
have released the names OF some
of the early artists.

Colonial Danes May Exhibit
John Peabody Silver, 1887

The Peabody work in the city
may well be abundant, since John
Tying Peabody came to Whining
ton in 1887 and married Gather
inc Jessup, from which union pre-
sumably came silversmiths, Asa
Peabody, who advertised in 1922,
and John Peabody, who advertis-
ed in Fayetteville il 1925.
Two other Wilmington silver
smiths were James Hues, who, adj
vertised in 1908 and John Sargent
who advertised in 1922. William
Thomson is said to have worked
in Wilmington before 1886.
Local advertisements Of the late
17O0s showed that such foreigners
as Charles LePlace of Paris, D.
Lambertoz of Paris, Henry Mel
vile of London, and c. F. Hugun-
in of Switzerland, suggest that
there was a rich market for the
selling of silver in the old city,
even in those days.
The Importance Of the Large
market of the early days lies in
the fact that silver bearing the
stamps of the artists must be in
existence today.
Il that silver is in existence,
George Barton Cutten, an author
ity on silver will be here to identl-
fly and evaluate it.
Colonial Danes, who are taking
the names of the exhibitors and
at the same time developing local
interest in the show are: Miss
Emily Kenan, Miss Sue MCQUEEN,
Mrs. Julien Morton, Mrs. Jennie
Fill. Miss Emma Williamson, Mrs.
Walker Taylor, Mrs. "il'i?m
Eroadfoot, Mrs. R. L. Grower,
Mrs. John Locket Poisson, and

Another sports figure who turned
down lots of money is Rocky Grail

for failure to report two 100000
bribe offers in connection with a May,
1945, fight and his cancelled bout
with Ruben Cowboy Shank last De-

mines from private to state ownership
on January l, called the drastic con-
servation program necessary to avert
complete disaster"
In a radio address to the people,
Prime Minister Clement Attlee ex-
planned that the unusually severe
winter was to blame in part, but that
war had depleted coal stock piles and
there simply were not enough miners
in the diggings.
A pail of misery spread yer the
tight little isle. Winston Churchill,
who as wartime Prime Minister rail-
lied morale with ringing historic
phrases, prophesied dispiritedly that
things were going to get worse. But
Churchill was not government spokes-
man now; he was leader of the op-
position, a Conservative arrayed
against the Laborites.
Il don't mean this particular emer-
gency is going to lay us low" Church
i'll said in Parliament, "but the
try is going to suffer increasingly and
it will learn by suffering"
No Coalition
Churchill spearheaded the Conserv-
alive plea for cooperation during the
industrial crisis but he snapped mo"
to an inquiry as to whether the Con-
s%ervatives might not join a coalition
government to tide the country over.
Churchill said he would withhold
"for another day" his expected de-
mand for a vote of censure of the La
Dor government and Fuel and Power
Minister Emanuel Shinwell.
Conservative newspapers called
upon Attlee to shake up his cabinet
and there were demands that Shin
well resign as fuel and power minis
ter.
Confusion and chaotic conditions
prevailed in many areas at first, but
the voluntary cooperation appeal
proved effective. The London Power
Co. said it was supplying about half
its normal load. In industrial Blrmlng-
ham, factories and the city's 100000
inhabitants were put on their honor
and electric use dropped about IS per-
cent.
hartford, Kent town Of $4,000, did
not respond Immediately to the ap-
peal, however, and all power was cut
off Immediately. Derby was another
town penalized.
Meanwhile, winters bite was felt
in the United States too. In Pitts
burgh, demands On natural gas for
heating were so great that more than
400 industries employing 10000
workers were forced to shut down.
Homes with gas furnaces, in many
communities, were placed on IS de-
gree thermostat readings, the war
time rationing evel.

Science
on the March

Virus diseases like infantile par
alysis, sleeping sickness and influenza
have the faculty of going UNDER
ground after losing a battle to medi-
cal science and thus escaping extermi-
nation, University of California re-
searchers have found.
In their dormant state, these viruses
cause latent infections which do not
produce outward symptoms of di-
sease. Yet when conditions are favor
able they again come into the open.
DR.. Karl F. Meyer, virus expert,
said there were three kinds of latent
Infections: Cd those which take root
in a person causing an illness so mild
the victim is not aware he is infected;
(2) those in which disease organisms
remain in the patient but lie dor
mant, causing no symptoms whatever,
until the victims system becomes
susceptible and then contracts a seri-
u illness, and 60 viruses which ON
tinue to live on the patient while he
is recovering from the disease.
One promising approach to UNDER
standing latent infections, DR.. Meyer
said, lies in learning more about
changes in a patients system at the
time viruses change from mild para
sites into rampaging invaders. II
bodily changes provide the opening
for the onslaught, it may be medical
ly possible to prevent them and thus
defeat the virus.
Meanwhile Yale University scien-
lists believe they have opened a new
field of medical research in dietary
deficiencies by exposing bacteria to
the ultraviolet ray. Working with
bacillus sbtilis (timothy hay bacillus),
they produced a new strain of bac-
terra which must be spoon fed" on
specially prepared compounds which
the parent organism had the power to
synthesize themselves.
Since Timothy hay" bacillus is
similar to the basic cells found in all
living matter, researchers believe
their work takes on a new impor-
lance in relation to the chemical re-
actions which 60 IN in all living
