Save Banks Channel

Residents of Wrigtsville Beach,
IHarbor Island and Wilmington, as well
as visiting yachtsmen and anglers are
properly aroused over the proposal to
dredge some three hundred thousand
wards of bottom soil or silt at the north
ern end of Banks channel and dump 1t
west of the Wrighteville Beach sewage
disposal plant.
If the project should be carried out
engineers are agreed that in a few
wears Banks channel would become un-
slightly marsh land and Wrightsville
Beach and Harbor Island lose OF
it's greatest assets.
Action of the tides has already
created shoaling in the channel which
in itself has been watched with alarm
because of the threat it constitutes to
the free flow of waters through the
channel. It is a manifest fact that any
artificial disturbance Of the bottom,
such as the proposed dredging, would
cause additional shoallng.
It would seem that a greater need
is for the clearing of %culverts Install
ed when the causeway was built, as
an anti-shoaling measure.
Looking back I'VE the years. or
only as long ago as yesterday, 1t. is easy
to picture the craft sailing the chan
mel 49, motor boats, rakish sail boats,
speed boats and luxurious motor-driven
yachts. Looking ahead, it is possible to
picture a wide sweep Of marsh grass,
dank, insect breeding-grounds at the
edge of both Harbor Island and
Wrightsville Beach, the old beauty
transformed into unsightliness.
Inevitably, this is what would
transpire if Banks channel were sub
iected to much greater shoaling.
Surely the people of Wrightsville
Beach, Harbor Iseland, Wilmington and
the authorities with jurisdiction over
the channel are justified in giving the
present dredging proposal their inten-
sive consideration before making 50
momentous a decision.

Set Our House in Order

Ii the United States is to put a
check to Russia's ambition to rule all
of Europe it would seem the only way
is to use dollars.
This is to say that Europe cannot
resist communism until it is placed on
a capitalistic foundation.
Communism breeds on poverty, and
Europe today is poverty-stricken. The
United States is the only great power
capable of relieving Europe's Distress.
Whether is would require the
twenty-four billions of American dol
lars to do this, as is being discussed in
Washington, is not for us to say.
But it is obvious that among our
first national obligations is to set our
own economic house in order. With the
price OF meats in some regions rising
above the frightful level of wartime
black markets it must be apparent to
the most casual observer that some
thing serious is taking place in our pro-
duction and marketing.
1t is reported that we in the United
States are paying more for government
than for food. Not by the greatest
stretch of the imagination can this be
considered sound economics.

represent a considerable change in
Moscow's former viewpoint.
At the same time, important points
of differences between Russia and the
United States remain unchanged.
Among them, perhaps chief among
them, is abolition of the veto. Also the
question Of international ownership
and management of the raw materials

Currently this is the story of

STAFF of IA who have decided they
cannot accept orders from the new

coup in Budapest.
Ex-Minister Szedey-Maszak is a

Of medium height. He speaks Eng

He has a nice smile. He hopes to
return to Hungary as soon as con-
ditions will permit. When does he
think that will be? "Ah," he says
as his face lights up, Il would be
very glad to know the answer"
His only hope for that return
now lies in solution of his coun-
try's problem by the UN.. Hun
gary" he says, lis a test case
for the United Nations. Hungary
was the only country that had free
and unfettered elections after the
war. There the peasants were
granted an opportunity to express
their point OF view, with the re-
suit that the Small Land Holders
Party won 81 per cent of the votes
while the Communists won only
II per cent. Now the Communists
are attempting to reduce this ma
jority to a minority.
eff democracy is to survive, it
must be based on the peasants
wish for self-government, indepen-
dence, and individualism. If the
UN is to S peace and order
based on law, it must find the
proper way to deal with this ques-
ton.
THAT is the first element, which
concerns Hungary alone. The Sec
ond element is broader and con

This is the real test case for the
United Nations. If these small ma
tons can survive only as satellites
to a big power, then there is little

small nations anywhere in the
world"
The ex-minister mentions as a
parallel the failure of the League
of Nations to stop Italy's invasion
and seizure Of power in Ethiopia
in 1888. Four years later the
League was dead.

Sugar Not Scarce

Sugar ~rationing is ended for the ma.
jority of consumers. AS a result 1t
is demonstrated that there has been
no actual recent shortage. This is in
.teresting and to an extent amusing.
For example, proprietors of public
eating places made application to ra-
tioning headquarters in Raleigh for
additional sugar in order to meet the
extraordinary demand forseen during
the Legion convention. They were told,
the Star is informed, that sugar was
very scarce and there could be no in
crease in their regular allotment.
One proprietor entered a local whole
sale house the morning after rationlng
was lifted and learned that the pro-
prietor had a carload on hand, and had
no difficulty securing the three hundred
pounds needed for this weeks rush.
This is a fair example of the whole
rationing program, during the wal and
since. Artificial controls have worked
unnecessary hardships on us all from
the time they were instituted. Search
ties, for the most part, were trumped
up, with the tragic result that while
we were denied commodities we could
we'll afford to pay for these same COM
modities were spelling in warehouses
beyond any hope of reprocessing. An
even more tragic effect was the Gre
alton of black markets.
Let's hope the whole principle of
%rationing is now gone with the wind.
At the same time, let everybody buy
sugar in quantities only large enough
to meet immediate demands.
II private consumers stock up with
more than they need, there is danger
that a real scarcity may develop. In
that case we will not be able to blame
b%ureaucrats but only own selfish whim.

LIFE OF
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

William Shakespeare, considered
by many people as the greatest
writer who ever used the English
language, was born in Stratford-
on-Avon, England, in 1864. His
father was a prosperous dealer
in wool and leather who became
mayor in 1868. His mother was
Mary Arden, daughter of a we'll
TODD landowner. William was one
Of eight children.
There is no record to prove it,
but it seems natural to suppose
that he went to grammar school
at Stratford. The school was a good
one, and provided a thorough edu-
cation in Latin grammar, rhe-
toric. poetry and drama.
When Shakespeare was about
10 years old, his father began to
have financial troubles, and a ira
dition has come down that he had
to leave school for lack of money.
However this may be, we know
nothing more about Shakespeare's
youth until he was 10. He remained
in Stanford; he may have been
%apprenticed to his father Gone of
the legends says that when he
killed a calf he would do it in
high style and make a speech.
Before he was 10 years old,
Shakespeare married Anne Hatha-
way, daughter of a farmer. She
was eight years older. In 1888,
their first child was christened
Susanna. Two years later twins,
Hamnet and Judith, were born.
After this C1585), there is no rec
ord of Shakespeare in Stratford
for some years. The next time we
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-06-16

hear of him is in 1892, when he
was in London and already estab-
lished as a playwright.
What he did in those seven years
is a mystery. One legend has it
that he was a schoolmaster in the
country. The most famous Of many
legends about Shakespeare life
has to do with the reason he left
Stratford. We have no way of
knowing whether it is true or not.
The story is that Shakespeare was
caught poaching STEALING game)
and was prosecuted so severely
that he had to run away.

The Dominion already oper-
ates several Arctic stations at
widely scattered points-at
Arctic Bay, on Baf1in Island;
at Fort Ross, on Boothia
Peninsula, near the magnetic
pole; at Coppermine, Holman
Island, and at Aklavik, at the
mouth of the Mackenzie River.
These were invaluable during
the war for predictions of
North Atlantic flying condi-
tions. Additional stations are
contemplated on Melville,
Banks and Ellesmere Islands.
Some years ago, a string of
robot weather stations around
the Arctic rim was proposed.
The automatic apparatus has
not proved very successful in
operation, and research Is in
progress to perfect equipment
which could operate about
three months without serv-
icing and have a range of
about 600 miles for radio
reception.
