River Dredging Starts

Wilmington has had no better news
in many a long day than that the Cape
Fear river channel dredging project,
which has been so greatly needed and
so long postponed, is actually under
way. When the job is finished the river
will be navigable by the average size
ca%rgo-carrying ships.
Inevitably the thirty-two-foot chan
mel will make Wilmington a regular port
of call for more and more ships. 1t is
the first step toward raising this port
to a truly competitive place among
South Atlantic ports.
The next and equally vital step is
the creation of terminals, warehouses
and other facilities indispensable in the
successful operation of a port, as pro-
posed by the State Ports Authority.
With such a physical plant as the Au-
thority contemplates, Wilmington may
confidently count on a volume of COM
merce favorably comparable with ports
to the north and the south.
In the creation of an adequate port
plant there will be benefits not only
for the states great industries, for the
receipt of raw materials from aboard
and the shipping of North Carolina
products to the worlds markets. There
will also be benefits for every business
and busy Individual in the city, from
the largest corporation to the individual
longshoreman.
It is known that additional indus
tries await only the establishment of
an adequate port plant to move to Will
mington. If, in addition, it is possible
to open direct rail communication to
the west, it is certain that even more
industries will make Wilmington their
base of operations and tonnage through
the port reach greater volume.
Surely the community can unite ir
no greater undertaking than the full
development Of the port along the lines
approved by the Authority.

Prompt Action Would Help

While Henniker ditch drainage is
a Carolina Beach, and not a county.
wide, undertaking, all New Hanover
countians can join with residents of the
resort in thankfullness that after SO
long a time the Board of County Com.
missioneTs is to perform it's part in the
project. At the same time all county
residents will regret that it took a
miniature flood during the recent un-
lamented rains, and stiff protest from
a beach delegation, to bring the ques-
ton to a head.
The Board would have saved itself
annoyance and justifiable criticism if
it had completed the project promptly
in as much as the Carolina Beach
people, by private subscription, raised
a fund for a considerable part of the
work. This at least is the opinion of
the subscribing group. It is also in
line with the general view that county
projects calling for prompt board &C.
ton often are delayed, to the disad.
vantage of the people and embarrass.
ment of the board.
It may well be that conditions over
which the commissioners have no con-
troll sometimes make it impossible tc
speed up notwithstanding the
people may not understand but which
they are quick to seize on to condemn
the county's governing body. This was
the case, for example, at the Legion
Stadium, where new wood seat tops
were needed for some years, but for
which satisfactory lumber could moi
be obtained. Even here there was q
delay, as the old seats had splintered
before the war, when lumber was
available. The public complaint would
not have been heard if the commission
had made this replacement when it
acquired title to the Stadium.
The thought is that the county's
business deserves to be conducted with
the same promptness characteristic of
successful private business, and that
representation works against the
county's best interests and the peoples
well being.

The Texas City Disaster

Difficult as it is to make accurate
count of the Texas City blast victims,
it must be a hard heart indeed that is
indifferent to word that early estimates
of the toll of human lives are probably
exaggerated. But the final count,
whatever it may be, does not lessen
the fact that the Texas port commu-
nifty has suffered one of the country's
worst disasters.
The little city itself is all but oblit-
Grated. Its nearby, and even some dis

ly damaged, with dead still undiscover-

Debunking Quackery

Why do bull fighters wave red cloth
before the bulls they propose to slaugh-
ter? AS everybody knows, it is to make
the bulls mad enough to fight.
But is this correct? According to
DR.. Earle E. Emme, associate professor
of psychology at Ohio State University,
red is not nearly as effective as white
for making bulls bullish. He waved
banners of different colors before COWS
and q bull, and decided what disturbs
