In MemOriam

In loving memory of our dear son
and brother Lyle Burdette Kohl
who was killed three years ago,
June 8, second day of invasion in
Normandy, France,
Remembrance is golden chain
Death tries to break but all in vain
To have, toAloue and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of ones heart.
The year may wipe out many
things
But this they wipe out never
The memory of the happy days
When we were all together.
Sadly missed by
Mrs. Eva Kohl and Family.

Settlers Lose Lands
Some of Williams customers in
Ohio tried to hold their land through
tomahawk improvements but Con-
gress had them removed and sent
troops to burn their cabins.
Despite his shady real estate ac-
tivities, Williams was friend in
deed to the Marietta and Belpre set
tiers when a famine struck the set
Elements in 1789-1780. Nearly all the
supplies brought along on the boats
had given out and the corn crop,
planted too late, had been so ruined
by early frost that the corn produced
sickness and nausea. 1t was inedible
Starvation was near.
Williams, on the other side of the
Ohio, had planted early and had ar
abundant crop of corn. He was be-
sieged by spectators who offered
large prices for his supply but
though corn had reached 81 busheI
he refused to sell except to settlers
He charged them only so cents 6
bushel and proportioned his corn ac
cording to the number of persons il
a family.
Williams lived on his "tomahawl
improvement" Virginia farm unit
his death at Sd in 1920. He was bur
led beneath the oaks that surround
ed his log cabin home.

Use More Honey

Before the war the United States
was a honey exporting country.
While it imported about a quarter
of million pounds in 1899, it
shipped ten times that amount. The
next year, however, imports nearly
doubled. They continued to increase
until they reached a peak of more
than 36 million pounds in 1943. At
the same time, production of honey
on farms throughout the United
States was multiplying. II totaled
more than 233 million pounds in
1945.

PLANS DRAFTED
Carolina Beach Committees
Selected To Raise
$4,000

Plans for the solicitation OF $l0,-
600 for the relief of flood conditions
at Carolina Beach were completed
at a meeting of community leaders
yesterday afternoon, Glenn Tucker,
committee head, said last night.
The plan as formulated calls for
two teams to solicit funds from
businessmen at the resort town
as we'll as from interested parties
in Wilmington. The money raised
from this campaign will be used to
construct a large ditch in the flood
ed areas to drain off the excess
water.
Tucker explained that the beach
would be divided into two sections,
north and south, with the groups
to be headed by Mrs. Adolph Klaus
and. Sam Blake. Mrs. Kaus's group,
composed of Tom Groom and W.
H. Sim, will solicit the area north
of Cape Fear boulevard while the
team headed by Blake, and includ-
ing Ray Franklin and John Fergus,
will cover the section south of the
boulevard.

POLICE CONTINUE
PROBE OF THREAT
Recent Incident Labeled
As prank" By New
Hanover Deputies

New Hanover county law enforce
ment officers last night continued
to brand the burning of a cross and
the hanging of an effigy on the
Greenville sound road Monday
night as a prank.
The sheriff's officers reported
they are still investigating the al
legged telephone calls to the
Negroes in that area, but chung to
the belief that it was the work OF
'teen-age boys.
Harry E. Fales, superintendent
of the bureau of Identification
said yesterday that he did not
think there was an organization OF
the Ku Klux Khan in this county.
after he had studied the note, left
near the scene of the o. burn
ing. The note was signed xxx
KKK-KKK" and a dummy hang
ing from a pine tree limb bore the
inscription in red and grey letters
xxx.
Late last night the Star learned
the dummy was cut down from the
tree by a young Audubon boy, who
happened to pass the scene before
officers arrived. The youth car
ried the dummy to his home where
it remained until the family read
an account of the affair in the
Wednesday Morning Star. He then
carried the dummy to the Sheriff's
office.
According to attaches at the
! sheriff's office, they were informed
about the cross burning about 10
o'clock Monday night and went to
investigate. They reported they
talked with Negro residents of the
section and the Negroes had no
complaints to make and did not
know of any las why the cross
should be burned or the dummy
hanged.

Action on a proposal by Joe
Grant that he rent the eity's trash
cans was deferred by the council
for future action. Grant revealed
that he wanted the cans for use
in an advertising campaign but a
decision on the proposal was post
poned in view of the possibility
that the city might use them in ad-
vertising the planned Azalea fes-
tival.
Another feature of yesterdays
meeting was the renewal of efforts
on the part of DR.. F. W. Avaat,
Wilmington Negro physician, to
have a license issued by the city

taurant, the Brown Derby, recall,

ed at the meeting by Emmett Bel
lamy, attorney, protested against
the granting of the permit, stating
that the establishment located next
to his home, was a ''flambouyant,
spectacular, yellow hot dog stand
and was operated to the embar'
rassment of his family.
The possibility that Avant NIGH
be rewarded in his effort loomee
as the result of City Attorney Viii
liam B. Campbells action in de
Gliding to take under advisement
the legality of the council actor
in granting the permit a month
ago.
The operators of the Brown
Derby informed the council a
the time the license was granted
that they intended to operate
quiet, respectable eating place

Today And Tomorrow

Zionists, the Christians, the Rus
slams, the British, the French, the
Americans can participate. But
actually our policy in the Middle
East is the result of the conflict
ing pressures and influences of
particular forces.
Ii there were an overall and
central direction of American ior-
eign policy, we would have told the
world, when M. Molotov proposed
general disarmament at the United
Nations, that the regulation Of
armaments cannot precede but
must follow a general settlement
of the war. Our position would
have been that We would enter
seriously and exhaustively into the
business of discussing how all
armaments-from atomic weapons
to reserves of infantry-are to be
reduced and regulated. But we
would have said that we shall not
disarm before there is peace, only
when there is peace.
No one could have challenged
the validity of a policy where the
United States, sponsoring a gen
eral European, a general Middle
Eastern, and a general Far East
ern settlement, insisted that it
could not enter into general dis
armament until these general set
Elements have been secured.
If only we could consider our
foreign relations as a whole, II
would save us no end of embar-
rassment and confusion.

On atomic energy We are the
uneompromising advocates OF a
system of international inspection
and control. On the strategic bases
we are opposed to inspection and
control. On general disarmament
we have no position, except that
we are reluctant to oppose dis

in the government is how to per-
suade Congress and the people to
maintain a sufficient military es-
Enlistment.
