Disabled Vets May
Hove More Time
To Enlist in Army

A change in regulations which
will allow partially disabled
combat wounded veterans of
World War II additional time
in which to apply for enlist
ment in the new Regular Ar
my was announced today by
Major Harold E. Dalness.
Partially disabled combat
wounded veterans of World
War II who make application
for enlistment on or before 80
June, 1947, will be enlisted in
the grade held at the time of
discharge from last active ar
my service. Those who make
application for enlistment on
or after 1 July 1947, but within
20 days from date of discharge
will be enlisted in the grade
held at the time of discharge
from last active army service,
Dalness said.
Under the plan for enlist
ment of partially disabled COM
bat wounded veterans, humid
reds of army jobs falling in
to 103 different categories, have
been thrown open. OF the 103
MOS covered by the plan, on
ly % require qualified exper-
fence. Although experience is
desirable in the other 80 MOS.
it is not essential since those
who meet the revised physical
requirements will be given
training necessary to make
them efficient in the job to
which they are assigned
Dalness pointed out that
while government pensions are
suspended during the period of
enlistment, applications for re-
instatement may be made i'm
mediately the disabled veteran
is again discharged.

Sugar Still Under
Price Control.
USDA Office Sdys

Some confusion resulting
from transfer of sugar ration
ing from Office of Price adj
ministration to USDA by con-
g%ressional act on March 81,
1947, was cleared up by a state
ment recently by sugar ration
ing administration Of USDA.
While frequent references
have been made to transfer of
sugar rationing, the agency
said, transfer includes also
pricing of sugar. Price control
remains in effect and is being
made more effective and uni
form by revival of community
pricing program on May /.
All regulations and forms in
effect on date of transfer,
March 81, remain effective un-
less changed by legal orders
of USDA. In interest of econ
omy and in view Of limited
budget available, existing OPA
forms will continue to be used
while stocks of them remain,
SRA said. New forms will be
identified as SRA FORMS"
Continuation OF OPA regula-
tionS includes valuation OF
stamps for consumer sugar use
worth 10 pounds e. CHI instead
OF 5 pounds as heretofore. Al
though consumer rations will
be at least 10 pounds greater
ir 1947 than 194S, SRA said
it is necessary for housewives

snookie, largest ape-man

goes to show what a success a
fellow can be despite a college
education.
Snookie, who will be seen

cum laude of the famous Mont
gomery Monkey college at Al
bany, oregon, where the major
ity of the better performing
apes get their schooling. The
alphabet after Snookie's name
hasn't turned his head a bit.
What might be construed as a
Srooty manner comes from his
long associations in Hollywood
where the name "Snookie" Is
synonymous with the last word
in animal acting.
Taking Snookie's degrees in
order.......AB. in monkey COL
lege Technology means "Apogee
of Bedevilment" .....and if you
think he hasn't taken post
graduate work in this degree
just ask his keeper......who
swears there is never a dull
moment in either Snookie's or
his life.
M. D. is for Doctor of the
Mop".......Snookie actually mops
out his own cage with great
regularity........in fact apes and
monkeys are among the clean
est of the animal kingdom......:
SC Snookie has been taught to
do his own homework, though
this idiocyncrasy costs the cir
Gus about five mops a week.
Doctor of Phoolishness" is
what the Pho. behind Shook
les name stands for and the
great throngS around Snookie's
qurters attest to the fact that
he is certainly a past master
of this particular art
Strictly speaking, Snookie is
one of the largest of his species
ever exhibited. Purchased by
c R. Montgomery two years

Gov. ThurmOnd's Profit

A few weeks ago Governor Thurmond, OF
South Carolina, shocked a regional gather
ing of realtors at Myrtle Beach with the &C
c~usation that many in their business were
guilty of gross profiteering and fragrant
black marketing.
There were several qualifications from the
Governors caustic remarks. Such was to
realtors. Then, apparently everyone believed
the case closed.
But now comes a revelation which gives
a belated but interesting twist to the start
ling incident.
William M. Means, of Charleston, and vice
president of the National Association of Real
Estate boards, said recently that Governor
Thurmond made a profit of $4,000 in
a real estate transaction this year. Accord
ing to Mr.. Means, the Palmetto states chief
executive bought a hotel at Edgefield from
the receivers of the Peoples State bank for
$14, 900 in 1897 and sold it in 1947 for $50, 900.
Undoubtedly Governor Thurmond used good
Judgment and it must be that
he held the property for 10 years. In view
of that length of time of possession, it is hare
to accuse him of purely quick speculative
motives.
Mr.. Means has made it plain, as he should,
that he did not question the legality or the
ethics of the Governors alleged profit.
But it is difficult to see how Governor
Thurmond could criticize others after he
made such a neat $48, 900 on one deal. I'm
less. of course, he has since changed his
position and now believes that the realiza-
ton of a profit in a realty transaction
borders on a crime, as he indicated in his
explosive Myrtle Beach talk.

The belief that current tense relations

a ouite different had President Roosevelt
lived comes in for quite a ou1le'Lhs W
sor,oer Secretary of State James F. Byrnes
- nis c~eosatjon-Dacked memoirs, Speaking

In his rev book, he makes it quite clear
that the Soviet Union had decloeo N "
oo1icv If international suspicion, oostrucuon-
ism and covetousness during the i@''ei
months Of Mr.. R~oosevelt's lie.
Din1omatjc relations, according to Mr.
Bvrnes. mad deteriorated badly.
In fact. an hour before his death' MI.
pooseveIt wrote Winston Churchill; l
,,,o,1d minimize the general Soviet problem
& ro,cn as possible because these proolennS'
n one form or another, seem to arise every
dav. We must be firm, however, anu
course thus far is correct
Obviously. Mr.. Roosevelt realized Russia
was placing the foundation for a dangerous

r,,rone 4 month after Yalta, he told Mr..
Bvrnes that he had grave lhlSsi'iis' ""
the future" Of dealings betWee this country
ard the Soviet Union. Mr.. Churchill, in turn,
warned the late President that the month
old Yalta agreements were "oreaklng down
and only serious consequences" would re-
suit.
The former Secretary of State also dis
closes that all was not pleasant between MIR.
Roosevelt and Marshall Stain. Apparently
this situation was the fault Of the latter.
Just before the Presidents death, the
Russian leader "~greatly offended him by
accusing him in exceedingly Objectionable
language of secretly concluding a separate
peace with Germany. Mr.. Roosevelt protest
ed the "vile Misrepresentation" Of Marshall
Stains informers, whom he accused of for
menting American-Soviet discord. But Stain
stood by them and, in effect, rejected Mr..
Roosevelts explanation.
Thus the Russian leader insulted the best
American friend he ever had.
But even more interesting than the early
indicators Of the slipping away of what
good Will Russia held by the United States
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-10-19
The Die Was Cast

and the remainder OF the world is the fact
that the President was beginning to consider
a firm attitude the best course. Mr.. Churc-
hill and many others knew this but it is re-
grettable that the American public was so
poorly acquainted with his attitude before
his death.
The nation is fortunate that Mr.. Byrnes
became a disciple of this policy and that
Secretary of State Marshall has not only
followed but strengthened it in recent
months.
It is, as Mr.. Roosevelt indicated, the only
way in view of Russian policy.
Therefore. there is little reason to believe
that. had Mr.. Roosevelt lived, the official
IAmerican attitude toward Moscow would
have been radically different. And the late
President would have faced just as many
disappointments as others who took up the
task have suffered. 1t would have been Just
as hard for him to seek a common ground
between Communism and Democracy.
The only answer appears to be the one
offered by Mr.. Byrnes. It is that the United
States reply to Russia's obstructl4plsm on
atomic energy and peace treaty agreements
with "better and more atomic bombs and a
decision to use force, if necessary to Dust the
Red Army from German soil. He admitted
Reluctantly that the United States may nave
to make the peace with Germany, Austria
and japan without Russia. His sensatlonal
nroposal-a 1O-step "course of action 1or
restoring "peace"-would lead to World war
III if the Russians refuse to go along, but'
he adds, "for many reasons the Sovlets 90
not want war"
Mr.. Byrnes is simply appealing for a call
nm the Soviet Unions grand bluff as it at
tempts to acquire, acre by acre and without
firing a shot, control of Europe.
The majority of Americans subscribe TO
his policy.
And we believe if President Roosevelt
were living today he would be Included
among this majority. Moscow has certainly
done nothing since the war to make any
other course possible with the exception
of a shameful and eventually fatal one OF
appeasement.

White Harriss, a surgeon OF the
Confederate Army. When the
Northern army occupied Will
mington, he was the last and
onl Confederate officer left
here, where he stayed to mini
ster to the sick and wounded.
Mr.. Howell's love for Will
mington was SO great that his
family could not even persuade
him to go to Florida for the
wisters, for the sake of his
health; he wanted to stay with
his native place.
W. of the second generation
after the war almost felt that
WE had been through it all, as
we lived it again with III ell
ders. Yet Mr.. Howell, loving the
Confederacy with an ardent de-
votion and knowing it's history
thus intimately and thoroughly,
his memory stimulated by a po-
etc Imagination, and by the
sight of the South's brave and
sorrowful struggles. always
spoke and wrote of these times
with truth and tolerance. H S
was a gentle nature; he lived
that "charity which thinketh no
evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity,
but ~rejoiceth in the TRUTH. And
we ete very grateful to him for
all his labors in recording our
history and in marking our his
toric spots. He has been fol
many years our County Histor-
ian and the chairman of the
New Hanover Historical CO M
mission. He has shown us how
to overcome the ills of the past
and to build on it a good future.
He wrote much history and
spoke on many occasions. Two
of his best known books are,
''The Book of Wilmington, and
"Sorvs of Summer Nights". OF
the many speeches he was call
ed upon to make on our history,
the last perhaps was given the
past June, at Moore's CIR e k
Battle Ground. And he collected
a large amount of Information,
both published and Unpublished,
which is part of the treasure of
his library.
But with all his devotion to
history, Mr.. Howell's first and
deepest love was for his Lord
and his church. After engaging
in business in Wilmington f O r
some years as a successful sec
rotary, he felt the call to the
ministry. His dear friend and
pastor, DR.. ]. M. Wells, encour-
aged him, and took him in
charge as a private ministerial
student. So great was his earn

it's tremendous historical significance, 1t has
received the most notice. But it must be re-
that so other pastors have,
through large and small opportunities,
brought thousands of others to Christianity.
And the result, perhaps not as great in ulti-
mate magnitude as the conversion of Mr..
|Soong, has been felt here and elsewhere
throughout the years. 1t is for this reason
and not primarily that the church is a
century old, that its congregation begins It's
celebration in a spirit of rich Christian JOY.
With it comes a deep and justified pride
lin the church and a rehabilitation of in
spiration for greater assignments IN the
work of God. That it's members, for more
than five generations, have readily accepted
their responsibility to Christianity in general
and Methodism in particular is ample as
surance that Fifth Avenue Methodist
church's future will be as glorious as its
historic past has been in service to God.

Attaining Its Goal

Substantial evidence that the second an
anal Southeastern North Carolina Fishing
rodeo is fulfilling its purpose OF attracting
more anglers from upstate is offered IN
the nrize list for the events fourth week.
During the period, IL of the rs awards
went to sport fishermen from cities and
towns other than in Southeastern North
Carolina. Included among those represented
NV Waltonites were Salisbury, Concord,
China Grove, Buies Creek and Durham.
And the week, like the majority of the
others. was far from being one to encourage
a maximum amount of fishing The passage
of a tropical disturbance up the Atlantic
coast probably kept many away who would
have otherwise tried their luck IN one of the
nations largest salt water fishing compe-
titions.
With two weeks remaining, even an aver
age supply of good weather should boost
the number of participants and increase the
rodeo's popularity as one of the regions
best attractions for the visitor.

A Fine Centennial

The Fifth Avenue Methodist church today
begins celebration of it's centenary Of service,
For d simple beginning as a mission estab-
Iiahed by the late Rev. Abel Chreltzberg,
then pastor Of Front street (noW Grace
Methodist church, it has grown to be one OF
the most substantial and influential churches
in North Carolina.
During its 100 years of advancement, its
good influence has not been restricted to It's
membership and community. Because fate
its moral and spiritual light far beyond the
borders of this country, it made one of the
most unique and distinctive contributions to
world Christian missions.
No one dreamed when Charles Soong, who
came to Wilmington DIS a member of the
crew of a Revenue cutter, was converted to
Christianity in 1881 that some day this quite
spiritual event would implant the love Of
of God in the hearts of the ruling family of
one of the worlds greatest powers. But 1t
did. And thus begins a story that illustrates
well the fact that the ways of Christianity
are marked so clearly by Him that the good
person has a path for the remainder of his
mortal days.
1t was the late venerable and beloved Rev.
T. Page Ricaud who started Mr.. Soong on
his life of Christian service. An exceptional
young man, he attracted the interest of all
who knew him and through the help OF
Col. Julian S. Carr and others, he became
a student at Trinity college and later Van
derbilt university, two schools long promi-
nent in Methodist education. Upon leaving
Vanderbilt, Mr.. Soong returned to his native
China, where he married a Christian wife
and they established a home whose good
Influence upon its country was to become
unreasonable in later years.
OF this union were born the children who
would lead, politically and economically
China into a new day. One is Madame
Chang Kai-shek, wife of the president OF
China who converted him, thus giving the
extension of Christianity its greatest oppor-
tunity in that far-away country.
But this is but one example of Flftf
Avenue Methodist church's force for gooc
through the 100 years of its life. Because OF
