than relying on the "mere prevention

He offered five points for lasting
peace in the Americas. They are the
epitomy Of the Hull doctrine.
Note how closely they resemble
what the aging and ill former Secre-
tary of State proclaimed as essential
to hemisphere security, particularly
the items numbered one, four and five:
l. A sound basis of commercial ex.
change.
2. Improved transportation and
communication.
8. Development of vast agricultural,
mineral and industrial resources.
4. Raising the standard of living.
5. Promotion of closer cultural un-
d%erstanding among all peoples.
The goal has not been achieved. Some
of the republics in the other Americas
have not yet overcome their old su-
spicions of the United States. But the
fact that the great Pan-American Union
is working, as only it can, for complete
inter-American solidarity raises a hope
that the peace now so coveted for the
world may be led by accord in the
Americas.

I~nter-American Solidarity

Perhaps the best evidence of the
s%oundness of Cordell HulTs Good
Neighbor policy is to be found in the
principles upheld by the Pan-American
Union.
The effort to cement relations
among the republics of the Western
Hemisphere had started long before
Mr.. Hubs campaign for neighborliness,
but it was not u ntil he had been at
work ON his life's major project for
years that the need was generally
recognized and came to occupy a chief
place in the Unions activities.
DR.. William Manager, counselor of
the Union, addressing the Foreign
Traders Association in Philadelphia,
emphasized the fact that international
relations in this hemisphere have been
developed on the basis of unity and
solidarity instead of force and sane.

their clocks back on the usual
date. They continued daylight saw
ing throughout e year, though
n SO much daylight could be
saved in winter. Nevertheless a
considerable amount of electricity
was saved. When the following
spring came, Great Britain and
Unoccupied France put their
clocks one more hour ahead for
the summer months.
The United States and Canada
put their clocks ahead for one
hour all year for the duration of
the war. The term Daylight Saw
ing Time was changed to War
Time. Now, some sections of these
two countries have daylight saw
ing during h e summer months,
hut other sections stay on stand

Can Any Plant Grow Under Ice?
This is very often done by an
interesting little Alpine plant call
ed the soldanella. During the sum
mer, the flat leaves are exposed
to the sun and the plant stores
up fuel in the aaves until these
become quite fat. Then, as time
passes, they flatten to the ground,
and when the snow falls, the hard,
leathery covering of the leaves
protects them from damage.
The plant sleeps through the
winter, out in early spring the
water trucking through cracks in
the frozen snow above gets round
the root and causes the plant to
terminate. A little bud begins to
open and, using the fuel stored up
in the leaves, melts a place for
itself in the snow or ice.
AS it grows up toward the light
it continues to melt the snow, I'M
til at last it emerges into the fresh
air, but down below the snow
again freezes round the stem.
When the snow disappears, the
little soldanella is practically a
full-grown plant with its blossoms
open, inviting the bees to enter
and fertilize them. Fruits form,
yielding seeds. The plant then
flattens again to the ground and
stores up fuel or the following
year.
If the soldanella were to wait
Cor the snow to disappear before
II began to grow, it would have
little chance of surviving, for
there are crowds of other plants
all round that would overtop it,
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-04-25
School Maintenance

The Grand Jury report reveals need
for certain repairs at several schools.
Some of the needs are trivial. Two are
more serious. Tileston school furnace
needs major rehabilitation, and the
wiring situation generally is not too
good.
While it is important to insist that
necessary maintenance be provided, it
is also important and enlightening to
know why there has been any deteriora-
ton IN the care of buildings and
grounds. 1t is due to a slash in the
school budget by the Board of County
Commissioners. The Board of Educa-
ton, after reducing it's proposed ex-
penditures to the minimum, as it COM
puted the needs, requested $50, 900 for
the terms activities. The Commission
cut this to $49, 000-a reduction of &c.
900.
There were two ways to meet this
lower figure. Either teachers salaries
or maintenance could be reduced. AS
the teachers were already underpaid,
they could not be burdened with the
additional discomforts smaller salaries
would involve. The Board decided to
let maintenance absorb the reduction.
Obviously money must be provided
for repairing the Tileston furnace. It
could all too easily become a fire hazard.
Also essential rewriting must be done.
The needed funds should come through
action of the Board of County Com
missioners.

Written for NEA Service
When you pull up a chair to
k-bitz a rubber bridge game il
indianapolis you never know what
is going to happen next. Today's
hand was sent to me by Walter
]. Pray of that city, who sat West.
His partner was William K. Coop
Ell, a youngster of rs who has
been playing bridge for so years.
Pray says that Mr.. Cooper is Just
as keen about the game as the
young fellows Qike Pray himself,
who IS CD.
This hand was quite a freak,
but how many East players would
open with five clubs as Mr..
Cooper did?
And how many would go to six
ciubc with the West hand?
However, Walter Pray would
say that you r a coward if you
would not, and his redouble was
put in just to make the game
more spirited.
The opening diamond lead was
trumped in dummy with the five
of clubs and a small spade was
led. North played the queen, Mr..
Cooper ruffed, led a small dia :
mond, South played the queen
and dummy rutfed. Another spade
was ruffed by declarer and the
six OF diamonds ruffed in dummy.
The third spade was ruffed by
LAST, and the seven of diamonds
ruffed in dummy with the Jack of
clubs.
Thus Mr.. Cooper made six
clubs doubled and redoubled with
an. overtrick. 4

about-if you will excuse all the Hoov-
ercrats and Deweycrats. But what these
Gratis could have done wouldn't have
amounted to much, anyhow. And the
dinner didn't amount to much except
from a astronomical standpoint. The
real business went on in the Sir Walter
hotel lobby beforehand-and after
wards. And the real business concern
ed the lineup for governor and sena-
tor in the contest for the democratic
nomination next year.
"The way it looks to me is this:
Charlie Johnson is way out in front.
Stag Ballentine is second, but not a
close second at this writing.
"The senate race will be close but
Broughton, is well in the lead. He has
the smarter politicians for him. He is
the smarter politician himself. This race
will be close. But from this distance
my money goes on Broughton for ena
tor and johnson for governor-and
neither one has too much to worry
about. Though Johnson is much
further ahead in this race than Brough-
ton is in the race for senator.
Southeastern North Carolina voters
cannot fail to hope the Thompson
prophecy, which has all the earmarks
of authenticity, is fulfilled. Both Mr..
Johnson and Mr.. Broughton are friends
of the area, as they are Of all North
Carolina.

WHAT is DAYLIGHT SAVING?
In all civilized countries for
years past, people have been
gradually keeping later and later
hours, with the result that for
half the year at least they have
missed much of the daylight. n
the bright hours of the morning
they have been in bed asleep, and
for hours after darkness mas fall
len in the evening, they have been
going about in artificial light.
Benjamin Franklin in 1884 wrote
about this strange habit Of civil
lized man. He published a humor-
GUS article on the subject in a
Paris paper.
1t was not until 1907 that the
idea of putting the clocks forward
was seriously suggested. In that
year an Englishman, William Will
| e t, brought forward a plan to
change the clocks during the sum-
mer months and make people get
up an hour earlier.
Lie 4QColiOll was llldSil 0lSNto-
sed for years, and in 1916, during
World War l, Daylight Saving was
adopted in England. One day in
spring, by Act of Parliament, all
the clocks were overnight put for
ward one hour. This saved electric
ity. Soon Germany, Canada, Aus
tralia n d some other countries
passed Daylight Saving laws. Al
ter the United States entered the
war, this country, too, adopted
Daylight Saving. All clocks were
put ahead an hour in the spring,
ard put back an hour in the fall.
After the war, some of the coun-
ties repealed their Daylight Saw
ing laws, but others retained
them.
In the fall of 1910, during World
War II, Great Britain, France,
Germany and several other day
light-saving countries did not put
