The Recreation Department

With the long school summer vaca-
ton at hand it is appropriate to say
something about the way the children
of the community are to employ their
idle time.
Some of the more fortunate will
spend varying periods at summer
camps.
Some of the less fortunate also will
go to camp near home. The Brigade
Boys Club is planning an especially in
teresting season for it's members at the
Bruce B. Cameron Memorial amp at
Porter's Neck.
The scout organizations, both boy
and girl, will have their own outings.
But there are many children who do
not hold membership in any Of these
groups. It is their welfare and hap
piness we should consider.
They ordinarily have little to inter
est them at home and spend much
of their time idling the hours away
down town or when they can "touch'
their parents for the price, at picture
shows which are not always we'll adapt
ed to their needs.
1t is for them that the City Recrea-
ton department has need for a summer
long, practically day-long, program. To
do it's full share in the wholesome en-
tertainment and development Of these
children the department needs not only
financial backing but the volunteer
services of a large corps Of adults and
older children.
1t is to be considered that any foot
loose child, who only too easily could
get into trouble if left to his or hel
own devices or to evil associations, but
who ON through the ummer with
happiness in the heart, and safely, is
worth any expenditure in money OF
service required.
The Star earnestly urges the people
of Wilmington to give the Recreation
department moral and substantial SUD
port, that it's work may prosper in tn
creation of good citizenship anon,
youngsters who need, but lack, adequat,
guidance at home.

FOUNDING OF PLYMOUTH BY
THE PHI .GRJMS
THE PILGRIMS

In 1907, the same year h a t
jamestown, Virinia, was founded
by English settlers, another group
tried to make a settlement on the
coast of Maine - in what was
then known as North Virginia.
However. they Jailed, for the
winter that followed was bitterly
cold and there was not enough
food. Many men died. The next
year, the survivors sailed back to
England.
This group had been sent to
America by the Virginia Company
Of Plymouth, to which King James
I had granted the land extending
approximately from the top of
Maine to Long Island Sound. When
Capt. John Smith, famous .eader
OF the Jamestown %colonists, re-
turned to England, the Plymouth
employed him to explore
their territory. This he did IN 1914,
and he named the region y e W
England.

More Speed

On Thursday of last week John Eos
ter, Jr., executive editor of Aviation,
told the luncheon session of the Eng
LAND councils Aviation Conference that
Russian designers have developed a jet
plane capable Ct lettering $50 miles per
hour.
On Saturday a United Press dis
patch from St. Louis announced the
United States Navy has a jet-propelled
carrier plane, already successfully
tested, that makes 600 miles per hour.
This twin-engined fighter climbs more
than 5000 feet a minute and it's turbo-
jet engines develop energy equivalent
to $500 horsepower.
This is not quite up to the Russian
speed, by the figures mentioned by Mr..
Foster, which may be significant or not.
In this age of meteoric flight sixty
miles an hour difference between the
Russian plane and the American Nays
might mean the difference between
victory and defeat in air combat, al
though it is possible that maneuver-
ability could offset the greater speed.
What appears more significant from
the lay viewpoint is that, while dis
armament is being forced to the fore
around the world, leading powers are
utilizing their engineering skill to de-
velop more speed in the air, more dead
ly weapons, more accuracy of fire and
greater firepower.
Former Secretary of State Byrnes
says we are thinking too much about
another war and not enough about
peace. He is correct, as he usually is.
But how can it be possible for peoples
and governments to set about an ade-
Iquate disarmament program, in the in
terest of lasting world peace, when the
great nations put their best efforts into
matching OF topping the war machines
of other great nations?
Certainly peace cannot come this
way. Nor is there any prospect as of
today that the United Nations can be
supplemented with sufficient power to
safeguard the world against further
wars, so long as the Soviet Union re-
jects the proposal for universal and un-
limited inspection for the control of
atomic energy.
Andrei A. Gromyko, the Russian
delegate on the Security Council, made
his governments position clear on this
vital matter in an address before the
Amerei can-Russian Institute in New
York last week. He declared that Rus
STA will not consent to the proposition
that unlimited inspection in every coun-
try is the only means of creating effec-
tive safeguards against atomic war
fare. 1t was his contention, and he
obviously spoke with the authority of
Moscow, that unlimited inspection might
reach to possible interference in do
nestle affairs"
So, while the United States, Great
Britain, France, China and the lesser
nations affirm that unlimited inspec-
ton is the way to guarantee perpetual
observance of atomic control. Mr.. Gro
myko made it plain that Russia intends
to go it's W way, in this as in other
vital peace proposals, and who can say
that Moscow does not ever now plot
another war behind the iron curtain
over Russian and the regions of eastern
Europe under Russian domination.
