TRAVELOGUES FORM
PROGRAM Of ROTARY

Two travelogues, one describing
a visit to Victoria, B. c., last win
ter and the other telling of a recent
trip to Florida, constituted the pro-
gram Tuesday of the Rotary club.
Clyde Cromwell, junior past presi-
dent, presided at the session in the
absence of the president and the
vice president. j. R. Heebner, elect
ed to membership last week, was
introduced. Merritt Williams, mem
Der of the June program committee,
presented the speakers.
Some of his impressions of Vic
toria were given by Campbell Cal
vert, who visited there last January.
He found green grass, blooming
plants and a mild climate. The city,
which is on Vancouver island, is a
mecca for tourists at all seasons,
particularly in summer.
In addition to the na~tive-born
Canadians the population includes a
large number of people who were
bern and reared in England. AS a
consequence the city is very English
in appearance and is said by some
tc be more English than England.
The policemen are Boobies, whose
uniforms duplicate those of the
Boobies in London.
The shops are apt to deal in only
one commodity, such as linens, china,
baked goods, meats or furnishings.
One of the outstanding exceptions
is the Hudson's Bay company, or
ganized in 1910 as a fur trading
concern which sells everything and
has stores throughout Canada.
Some of the captivating scenery
was described, also the English
dishes that were enjoyed.
j. w. Corwin was the second
and told of having made
: trip to Florida to attend a con-.
vention. When he left here, Mon
ANA was enjoying mild weather, but
az route he encountered snow and
in the states east. AS he
crossed several of the states of the
leep south he noted the signs on
he plantations, giving the name of
he owner and kinds of crops or
livestock produced. One, he observ-
ID, bore the name of Clyde Crom-
veil, who raised cotton and corn.
He was struck by the extremes
n Florida. At times he wondered
Why the country had been taken from
he Indians. The land appeared to
,e poor and unproductive, and dwell
ings along the way were evidently
he properties of people of small
means. Then he would enter a
beautiful city where all the evidence

Arrival OF War Dead To Begin In
October, From Europe and Pacific

Final burial of the naton's Worlc
war II dead will cost about $751;
100000, latest estimates of the wal
department indicate. 1t was esti-
originally that the repartia,
ton program would cost $200,000,-
900.
Last July congress appropriated
$92 ,500,000 to start the program
The fund vas earmarked for search
of the missing dead which numbered
64,989 on VI day, Identification,
concentration in temporary military
cemeteries overseas of remains found
in isolated graves, and prepare
ton for return to the United States
of possibly 228,000 remains.
The appropriation was intended
for an Operational period of nine
months only, but the quartermaster
corps has found it will carry the
operation through to Oct. 1.
Before fall, congress will be asked
to appropriate $95, 100000 to COM
plete the program.
The first remains are to be re-
returned from cemeteries in Hawaii
and from Henri Chappelle cemetery
IN Belgium. Latest information
from the office of the quartermaster
general indicates they will reach the
United States about Oct. /.
Largest single item of expense
far is $40,000,000 for 100000

DATES FOR
SUGAR DISTRIBUTION

Housewives and industrial users
are permitted to buy sugar a month
earlier than previously anticipated,
the sugar rationing administration
has announced. Spare stamp II be-
came valid this week instead of wait
ing until July 1, as heretofore sched-
uled. The date for third-quarter al
lotments to both percentage and
provisional allowance industrial US
ers was advanced from June 10 to
June 1. The 30-day limitation was
removed for industrial users, enabl-
ing them to purchase their entire
allotments as soon as granted.
The Cuban receipts are now at
seasonal peak, and as boxcars will
soon be needed to move an estimated
billion-bushel winter wheat crop the
department of agriculture believed
speeding up of sugar distribu-
ton now is necessary in order to
transportation facilities later.
The action which advances the
late does not increase the rations.
No stamps will be issued this
year as "home canning sugar
stamps" but an allowance of 35
for home use is intended to
include canning.

Butler Takes Trout
Weighing Nearly 8
Pounds, Saltwater

The Saltwater river still has
big trout in its swiftly moving
waters. This was demonstrated
Tuesday by Edward Butler, son
of Mrs. F. A. Eoff of Laurel,
who caught a lochlaven that
weighed eight and three-fourths
pounds when landed. After it
was dressed it weighed seven
pounds.
The location was near the Eoff
summer home on the Saltwater,
a few miles up the river from
Columbus. Butler used a sucker
minnow. Landing the fish requir-
ed 20 minutes.

Fireboat Outlook Brighter

Following several efforts whose failures
could not be charged to City council but
were usually the result of the strange work.
ings of bureaucracy, Wilmington appears
about ready to receive the fireboat needed
so long to replace the practically useless
Atlantic.
City officials are now awaiting official
notification from the U. S. Maritime COM
mission that Wilmington has been declared
purchaser of a surplus fire fighting craft
in Charleston. The bid submitted was the
highest of several received and, unless there
is a 1ast-minute hitch, confirmation of the
sale should be forthcoming.
When it is refitted with a new 1000 gallon
pumping engine and placed in commits
sion, the occasion will mark the end of a
problem with which the council has wrestled
for years. Only through the body's determi-
nation to follow every lead to the limit has
it been solved, thereby giving the harbor
the protection it-has needed so badly, especi-
al in view of the fact that it is one of the
largest gasoline terminal points in the
country.

The Ports Race

Best evidence of the acute need Tor i'm
mediate development of the Port of VIII
mington we've seen recently is a Depart
ment of Commerce report that the Port OF
Charleston led it's principal competitors
Savannah and Wilmington, in seagoing trail
fic in July.
Figures released showed that SO ships en-
tered Charleston's port to discharge lz''ooo
tons of cargo. Savannah handled 81 vessels
and 81, 1000 tons of incoming freight wnlle
Wilmington had but two ships with 5000
tons.
AS to exports, 20 ships left Charleston
carving "a, 900 tons of outbound ocean
freight. Savannah sent out "A vessels with
n. 600 tons and Wilmington dispatched two
freighters laden with II, 1000 tons.
The three ports are in competition for the
commerce of the Carolinas and Georgia. This
trade contest is nothing new. 1t was under
wav years before the war and Is now beln9
resumed with greater 'erminatlon, especl-
allv as to Charleston, than ever before. Will
mington has made the weakest return OF all
to the race because it was not until recently
that state assistance was made available.
Meantime, Charleston acquired the valu-
able port of embarkation located there.
THROUGH the South Carolina Ports authority,
which is much older than North Caro-
lina's comparable body, it has obtained
numerous regular steamship sailings. AS 1t
gains and uses these advantages, it is only
natural that it should encroach on territory
which Wilmington could serve as well or
better if it had facilities and services as good
as those of the Palmetto state port.
The North Carolina State Ports authority
has and will continue to exert every effort
to improve the Port of Wilmington, as well
as others of the state, and make 1t as at
~tractive to commerce as Charleston is IN
averaging a ship a day. Meanwhile, the mead
start Charleston has must be considered
not in the light of defeatism but as In
spiration to return in force to the port COM
petition as soon as possible.
The failure of Wilmington's Port to pro-
gress as Charleston's has is not primarily its
fault. Rather, it has not received the ad-
vantaees the South Carolina one is now
using. The longer our port is handicapped
by not having comparable facilities, the
harder it will be for it to regain its right
full position of service to the richer of the
three states.

H COLD WAR

At the root of Mr.. KS philo-
sophy about Russian-Americen
relations and underlying all the
ideas of the Truman Doctrine
there is a disbelief in the posi-
bility of a settlement of the
issues raised by this war. Hav-
ing observed, l believe quite
correctly, that we cannot ex-
pect "to enjoy political intimacy
with the Soviet regime,," and
that we must regard the Soviet
Union as a rival, not a partner
in the political arena" and that
there can be no appeal to COM
mon purpose" Mr.. X has reach
ed the conclusion that all we
can do is to "contain' Russia
until Russia changes, ceases to
be our rival, and becomes our
partner.
The conclusion is, it seems to
me, quite unwarranted. The his
tory of diplomacy is the history
of relations among rival powers,
which did not enjoy political in
timacy, and did not respond to
appeals to common purposes.
Nevertheless, there have been
settlements. Some of them die
