Reasons To Give Thanks

Notwithstanding lowering clouds that
some prophets believe indicate war; politi-
cal unrest in most of the worlds nations
and an unbalanced economy everywhere
Americans have genuine reason for thanks
giving today
For one thing, and it is important, we
are in a position to relieve the suffering OF
nations and peoples stricken down by cruel,
and ruthless conflict.
We alone of all countries on earth can
extend helping hand to countries still ir
dire need of reconstruction and food in the
wake of war two years after the combat
lceased-nations that face not only hunger
and cold as winter approaches but the
grasping paw of the Russian bear that
would reduce them to even greater want
once it traced its communistic trail across
their lands.
True, we are not in position to be the
worlds Good Samaritan, nor can we i'm
plement the Marshall plan without should
|ering additional burdens. But the f2St that
we have come through the war as well as
we have, that we are still fundamentally
a Christian people, and can afford to give
sucor where it is so grievously needed
albeit at additional individual sacrifice, is
sufficient reason for thanksgiving today.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-11-27
A Psalm Of Thanksgiving

I Will extol thee, my God o King; and
! will bless thy name for ever and ever.
Every day will bless thee; and l will
praise thy name for ever and ever.
Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be
praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall laud thy works to
another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
Of the glorious majesty of thine honor,
and of thy wondrous works. will I medi-
tate.
And men shall speak of the might of thy
terrible acts; and I will declare thy great
ness.
They shall utter the memory of thy great
goodness and shall sing Of thy righteous
ness.
Jehovah is gracious, and merciful; slow
to anger, and of great lovingkindness.
Jehovah is good to all; and his tender
nnercies are over all his works.
All thy works shall give thanks unto
thee, o jehovah; and thy Saints shall bless
thee.
They shall speak of the glory of thy
kingdom, and talk of thy power
To make known to the sons of men his
eN1o,
Of his kingdom.
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and thy dominion endurest throughout all
generations.
Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth
up all those that are bowed down.
The eyes of all wait for thee, and thou
given them their food in due season.
Thou openeth thy hand and satisfiest the
desire of every living thing.
Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and
gracious in all his works.
Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call
upon him, to all that call upon him in
truth.
He will fulfil the desire of them that
fear him; he also will hear their crv and
will save them.
Jahovah preserveth all them that love
him; but all the wicked will he DESTROY
My mouth will speak the praise of Je-
hovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name
for ever and ever. Psalm 145.

Wilmingtons famous living Christm S
tree draws large attendance not only from
the city's residents but the rural popula-
ton as well. Families from considerable
distance drive into the city with cars full
of children, with the result that only the
early arrivals can place their cars within
easy walking distance. All others must
park where they can. Last year cars were
lined up almost all the way downtown and
out the Castle Haynes road as far as WMfD
radio station.
The thought is that by ligh~lg the tree
saw week before Christmas many vlsl-
tors from other communities would drive
in before Christmas Eve, and probably De
joined by many Wilmington families ana
so reduce the traffic blockade and the long
walk to parked cars that took the keen
edge of enjoyment off the trees lighting
last year.

The Nurse Situation

According to the lady who IS the eHecu
tive secretary of the North Carolina Nurses
Association. James Walker Memorial hos
nita1 is threatened by mass designations
But, it is only fair to add, there mas oeen
no local confirmation of this threat
However, the lady in question says
nurses here will not strike Being humanl-
tarians. she says they wouldn't think o1
such a thing. But, she hastens to add, "dic
YOU ever hear of mass resignations?
It isn't our right to enter into any dlt'
ferences as to pay, working conditions OF
hours at the hospital. 1t is not our right te
tell either side what they should or must
do.
But, as newspaper OF pubic service
we, like the nurses and the hospital, have
a duty to perform to our people.
We are prompted, therefore, to ask wha
would be the difference to the patients II
the nurses resigned en- masse, or IN
strike? Surely the patients would be With
out the services of these highly trained anc
efficient women who have dedicated thel1
lives to aiding the sick and the m e
Surely the patients would suffer untold

the nurses would be suffering by staying
on, and meanwhile trying to adjust then
differences.
Of course, every nurse, as do other
persons, has a right to resign and to ac-
cept more lucrative employment else
where This is one of the rights OF al
American citizens, yes, and non-citizens
too. But mass designations would smell o1
the strike, call it what one may.
We sincerely trust the differences exist
ing, if any, can be ironed out and the
nurses continue their efficient srvice IN
a hospital that, like them, is filling great
need here.
Perhaps this season of the year, Thanks
giving and Christmas, will bring sufficient
influence to bear to bring more coopera
tive spirit to all concerned.
1t is to be hoped.

Power Off Reminder

Certain parts of Wilmington were given
"a reminder, in small way, of what life
with grandpa must have been like when
the power failed Wednesday.
Those accustomed to riding up and down
from floor to floor reached their destina-
tions instead, putting and perhaps some
suddenly realized they aren't as young as
they used to be or why they didn't build
tall buildings in grandpa's day. Maybe the
old folks had something there.
But that wasn't all. News services, con-
Meeting the city with the entire world, the
Big-Four conference Moscow, The White
House and others almost as important
went silent and all at once came the reali-
zation of what caused slower thinking OF
no thinking at all, in grandpa's day on
things international.
In those days the Big-Four news, in the
same detail as now reported in matter o1
hours, would have taken weeks via ship
And then the account would be small by
brought to the fore our progress and once
again shows how we have come to take il
as a matter of course.
1t all goes to show that, while it otter
takes years to accomplish progress, it car
be wiped out in a matter of seconds. This
could be true in a war. Having tasted thi!
slight discomfort, perhaps we now can re-
alize what is meant when our national lead
ers urge us to be prepared, prepared tt
keep out of the United States those whe
would cripple it.
How they would do this is of no import
ance. The fact they would, if they could, il
sufficient to warrant precaution. Shoule
what happened in Wilmington become ma
tion-wide the country would practically
cease to function, certainly not in time tt
prevent further losses.

Today And Tomorrow

in the Paris conference but had
been forbidden to do so by Sta

between economic advanta ge
and the political security of the
Russian alliance, his country
had no choice but to choose the
alliance.
But he had said also, though
in a different part of the con-

the Paris report, he now knew
that his country, which needs
capital goods, would have gotten
title immediate advantage ou t
of participating. Then he went
on to discuss the Marshall plan.

POstOffice Extras

extra clerks will be employed to handle
holiday mail expeditiously in Wilmington
and the district served by the Wilmington
post office, Postmaster Wilbur R. Dosher
SAYS that however regrettable the fact is
the college students who count on bling

The reason is that colleges generally will

Turkish Roads
BY PETER EDSON

only four small cement plants,
which combined might equal the
output of one fair American
plant Asphalt is now shipped
into Turkey by the oil compa-
MES in drums. The country has
only one small steel mill 1t may
be able to produce enough rein
forcing rods, mats and small
shapes. The bridges will proba-
bly, have to be built in the U. S.
from designs made after the en-
gineers complete surveys.
Full U. S. participation in this
Turkish road-buf1ding program
will cost $5 million. The money
comes from the 500 million ap-
propriated by Congress for aid
to Turkey under the Truman
doctrine. The original amount
earmarked for roads was 81
million, but when it was pointed
out to the military that their
modernization of the Turkish
army would be wasted and USE
less unless there was q modern
highway grid over which to haul
it, the ALLEGATION was increased
five times.
On top of this the Turkish Re-
public has appropriated $13 mill
lion to pay native labor and buy
materials. About 5000 Turkish
workmen will be employed at
peak construction. Part of the
| job of the Hits mission will be
to train Turkish engineers.
This road building is perhaps
the only part of the Turkish aid
program with which there can
be no quarrel. Benefits aren't
just military. Turkey has bgi
farm and livestock areas which
are now isolated. They can't
move their crops TO market be.
cause there are no passable
roads.
Of the $1,000 miles of roads
on the Turkish map, $4,000 miles
are classified as macadamized
and $4,000 are dirt. But only a
third of this mileage is consid-
cred passable.
When the American road mis-
sion gets through, it hopes to
have a 20,000-mile net of main
highways surveyed. Construc-
ton will begin next spring.
There will be three classes of
road, ranging from "a to 80 feet
in width. Little of it will be mod
ern concrete highway in the
modern American sense, outside
the cities.
In 1914 Turkey had only $4,000
motor vehicles, which is half as
many as Puerto Rico has, and
third of what Crba has. With
more or less modern highway
system, the Turks should pro-
vide good market for Ameri-
can cars, trucks, filling stations
and probably even roadside hot
dog stands.
