Summer, no matter what whim-
sical turn the weather may take, is
done for as far as the night clubs
are concerned. Come Labor Day
and the summer doldrums are over,
it says here. From now on, all will
be beautiful in the bistros. All will
be beautiful, that is, until Thanks
giving brings the Christmas shop
ping doldrums. These end on New
Year Eve, to be followed Immediate
ly by the early January doldrums,
caused by people having spent too
much money on Christmas.
The early January doldrums end
about mid-January and things are
beautiful again. Until Lent. Night
clubbing Is what a lot OF people
give up for Lent, for some reason
considering this sacrifice. After
Easter, things are fine again until,
of course, warm weather comes
along and brings the summer dol
drums back It's a nice steady busi-
ness, running a night club. You can
always look at the calendar and
know to the day when you will again

ing.
With the end of summer on the
cabaret calendar, the After Dark
scene should begin to show some life.
One of the things that will be
happening this month is the reopen
ing of the May1ower Lounge, or
rather the opening of the new May
flower Lounge. The decor of the
new Lounge will be different from
anything you've seen at the May
flower before. Among other things
there will be a third dimension
mural painted by French artist,
Jean Pajes. 1t is so realistic that
our informant thinks more than one
patron will bump his nose against
the wall, thinking he is walking
into a familiar scene. Entertainment
will be by Violinist Florian Zabach
and his orchestra and Jeanne Shir-
ley, who is billed as Americas
Brightest Young Singing Star" The
annual champagne and Orchids
event is scheduled for Septem-
ber 18.
The night before the Mayflower
Lounge opens, September II that is,
Sam Schanker plans, as previously
announced, to reopen his Club Cairo
for its second season. Ben Blue,
veteran vaudeville comic and fea-
tured performer in number OF
MGM musicals, is the man Mr..
Schanker has in mind as the head
liner of his opening floor show.
And month after he reopens the
Cairo, on October Is to be exact,
Mr.. Schanker plans to present the
famed "Tragedian of jazz" Ted
Lewis, to Washington audiences
Other people with whose agents Mr..
S. has been dickering, with an eye
to showing them off at the Cairo,
include Phil Reagan, Carmen Mi
randa, Eleanor Powell and Martha
Raye.

MONTREAL, May 81 W.H-The
Southern Presbyterian church's
general assembly today again urg-
ed President Truman to recall NV
ron c. Taylor "soon" from his
duties as ambassador to the Vati-
car.
The delegates asked DR.. John R.
Cunningham, moderator of the
church, to remind the President
that he had indicated he would re-
call Taylor as soon as the Italian
peace treaty was signed.
DR.. John A. Mclean of Rich
mond. Va. reported that Mr.. Tru-
man had assured a group of Prot
estant church representatives last
year that "Taylor's service as am
bassador to the Pope might ter
inmate at an early date but would
certainly terminate with the sign
ing OF the peace treaty."
The group asked CUNNINGHAM to
write the President calling his
attention to the above statement
and expressing the earnest hope
that now that the treaty win Italy
has been signed the termination
of this official relationship between
our country and the Vatican might
soon be brought to an end

of the country ana people he loved,
building an ever widening loyal
audience.
This material has been collected
into a new book-"Home Country"
and it holds the heart of the
real Ernie Pyle, a happy traveller
looking forward each morning to
a new adventure. It is Ernie be-
fore war and personal sorrow had
taken the zest from him.
II hope some day you people
will publish the book Of mine that
] like best myself" he once told
a publishing firm. That's the
book with all the stuff / wrote
before the war, the book about my
own country, about home"
1t is his best writing-or as good
as anything he ever did later. 1t
is writing with the homely
strength that endures.
Writing in the simple. artless
vernacular Of the common man is
the hardest of literary arts. 1t is
much more difficult than turning
a chromium phrase Or the toy
gymnastics involved in coming a
radio wisecrack.
Ring Lardner could capture the
feel and flavor of American talk,
but he bent it sometimes into sat
ire. Ernie has the same gift with
out bitterness. He worked hard.
There was much labor behind each
of his seemingly effortless war col
umns. I watched him many times
rewrite them twice over, wedding
out the blank-sounding words, put
ting in the words that were the
echoes of his on heart.
One sample of his gift of simple
imagery: writing of his mothers
deep interest in her own commun-
ity and the welfare of old neigh
bors, he said: II believe Hitler
and Japan meant no more to her
than the noise of a passing truck"
Publication of "Home Country"
makes permanently available now
the choicest writing of his pre-war
years. 1t is in itself a kind of
autobiography, but there still re-
mains to be written the real life
history of Ernie, his inner troubles
and his outer victories.
That will close the story on this
pill-swallowing little man, beloved
Of many, who vas himself great
ness in CAPSULE.

In addition to demonstration
clubs, the county boasts II All
clubs for youth.
In 1885 the county had no club
houses for members of the home
demonstration clubs to meet. To-
day there is a club house at
Wrightsboro, Castle Hayne, Myrtle
Grove, Masonboro, and Murrys-
vile. The East Wilmington or
ganization has fixed its club room
in the educational department of
the Pearsall Memorial church at
East Wilmington. These are equip

pie.
At present there are $50 active
members of the home demonstra-
ton organization and 300 members
of the All clubs.
Every year members of the
demonstration club have an oppor-
tunlty to 60 on a tour throughout
some part Of the world. This year
the club plans to tour Canada,
with 81 women making the trip.

Miss Ann Mason, who for the
past IL years has served New
Hanover county farm women in
their every day problems and has
assisted them in home making, is
we'll equipped" for the position OF
county home demonstration.
Miss Mason was born in the
rural section of Cullman county,
Alabama. one of 10 children. Her
father, M. F. Mason, was a con
tractor. Miss Mason attended the
small country school at Cullman
until Sic entered high school, at
which time her family moved to
Cullman.
But, Miss Mason, says she can
still remember the farm. When
l was 70 years old l was a mem
Der Of the All club in Cullman
county and for my first project, 1
raised a pig. For a long time I
took extreme care of my project
and as a result o. a prize in the
county meet for having one of the
best pigs in the county. My pig
was even better than my broth
er's.".
After high school she entered
Athens college for women, at
Athens, Ala. and attended that in
stitution for two years, before en-
tering Auburn college, Auburn,
Ala. an agriculture school. After
obtaining her A. B. degree from
Auburn, she took postgraduate
work in extension work and be-
came a member of Sigma Phi
Epsilon, an honorary society in
Home Economics, for making an
average of 80 or more.
For two years she taught school
at Huntsville, Ala; mainly, general
science and home economics.
North Carolina State college did
not accept women therefore the
state had 10 rely on out-of-state
workers. So, when a district agent
came to Auburn in search of home
extension workers, Miss Mason
was recommended for the job as
home demonstration leader of
Carteret county, N. c. She stayed
there for one and a half years.
She later requested to be trans
ferred to Wilmington. Her re-
quest vas granted, and she came
to Wilmington in 1885 as home
demonstration agent, Of New Han

In 1899 she attended the world
conference of home demonstration
leaders in London, and later toured
Europe sightseeing in nine Euro

The Man Who Never Wrote
A Book Now Has One
In His Name
BY HAL BOYLE

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 81
R-The man who has written
some of the best books of our
time never deliberately wrote a
book in his life.
And he proved something-that
a man doesn't have to haul off in
an ivory tower to create literature.
He can do it under the day to day
stress of turning out a daily piece
for the newspapers, newspapers
which tomorrow a housewife may
use to line a pantry shelf.
I mean Ernie Pyle. AS his fame
as war reporter rose in the early
days of the African war, Ernie
was subjected to many PORTABLE
offers from publishers who want
ed him to write a book. His an
swer was always the same: 1T
takes everything I've got to 60 on
doing what l am"
What he was doing was simply
writing the greatest study Of sol
dier life in war time in history.
Eventually this became apparent,
and this daily material was gath
cred into a series of books that
will stand as the classic eye wit
ness account of the second war.
These books made the little man
with the half-pint body and the
giant heart a national hero, be-
cause he somehow symbolized the
American fear and hatred of war
and yet also the American char
acter to 60 on and finish the task.
The books also made him famous,
embarrassed and rich-wealth he
never cared for nor lived to spend.
But before Ernie became the
spokesman of the American SOL
der at a he was the quiet
chronicler of America at peace.
For five years before the war
he travelled about the states, writ
ing about the oddities and virtues

while in civilian employment, in
GLIDING federal government serv-
ice, may receive disability COM
pensation or retirement pay con-
currently with the salary from
such employment.
He may not receive disability
compensation or retirement pay
concurrently with active duty pay,
explained Robert S. Matthews, Jr.,
contact representative in charge
Of Wilmington's VA Office, 125
CuStomhouse.
Should one of these veterans re
enlist and remain in the military
service until retirement, he could
not receive his disability compen-
satlon concurrently with his re-
tirement pay.
Whereas, Matthews said, such
disability compensation or military
retirement pay may be paid con-
currently with civilian retirement
pay.
The VA will be notified upon a
veterans discharge from his re-
enlistment, and such disability as
is then in order will be automati-
cally resumed by the VA as of the
day following the date of the vet
Grams discharge.
However, should the veterans
disability be aggravated by his
subsequent period of military serv-
ice, or should additional disability
be suffered therein. disability
compensation for these conditions
would not be paid automatically
by the VA upon the veterans dis
charge, but would be contingent
upon the filing of a claim for such
additional or new disability, an
informal claim being sufficient for
this purpose.
