With the Wilmington Soap Box
Derby just n week away, en-
trants, parents and Mr.. and Mrs.
John @. Public yesterday were
quickly whetting up increasing in
terest in the race which will be
sponsored by The Star-News and
Raney Chevrolet company.
As a score or more boys were
busy with paint jobs on their cars
yesterday, reports reached Derby
headquarters that at least four
more racers had been completed
and were ready for test runs Sat
urday morning.
Sponsors, too, were busy lining
up their name signs for the cars
that will represent them in the
Derby, an event which is expected
to attract a crowd of well over
10, 900 persons to Derby Downs
next Wednesday afternoon.
BY far the most important an
rouncement released from Derby
Headquarters during the day was
the fact that final selection OF of
ficials who will handle actual run
ming OF the big Derby, had beer
made and approved.
List Of Officials
As submitted to headquarters
by Chairman Ralph Volk and his
committee, the list of officials vii

were principally grown in this Sec
ton.
And. as the paper recorded,
'labor is plentiful and cheap and
living expenses just what you
choose to make them"
The paper continues, Here the
climate favors outdoor work the
entire year. Here are excellent
terminal facilities and in summer,
inexpensive seaside resorts. Here
it is healthy at all times, statis-
tics showing a rate of mortality
less than that Of any other city
except one in the United States.'
IN PRIME-In 1898 Wilmington
was in its prime. 1t was the larg-
est city in the state and n OF
the prettiest, the old paper show
ed.
In fields other than business and
farming, the Port City appeared,
from what the paper states, to be
on good behavior.
Thirty-six churches and a COM
plete system of well conducted
schools and similar institutions
were Listed. Good order is every
where maintained. There are no
hoodlums, no roWdies, no criminal
classes"

Report To Judge Carr Says
Officials Have Ignored
Recommendation

City officials have failed to fol
low recommendations Of the Sup
erior Court grand jury in New
Hanover county in improving fire
fighting conditions for as long as
four years.
The grand jury made that
charge yesterday in a tWo-page
report turned over to Judge Leo
Carr in which recommendations
also were made for lettering CON
ditions at the county home where
sanitation and building repair
were described in poor shape.
The court, following the Jury's
report, ascertained from court at
taches that the last recommended
tons for improving fire fighting
conditions was made late in 1915.
The court then instructed the
clerk Of the court to determine
who in the city council has the
responsibility of directing the fire
committee.
Fire conditions that need imme-
diate remedying are at the l7th
and Dock streets fire station and
the city fire boat.
1.-THE grand jury wishes to point
out that the recommendations in
regard to the windows and front
doors have been made by several
previous jl;ries as far back a. 1913
and that the conditions have rot
been renlecied," the report read.
Front doors at the station "arc
so difficult to open as to cause
a possible loss in time in getting
OUT" the jurors reported. Win
dows on the second floor sleeping
quarters should be placed in
and watertight condition
and the present heating system is
inadequate. the report added.
The report also pointed out that
the present fire boat is IS years
old and is reported "inadequate
and obsolete" The pier leading to
the boat is reported l need OF
repair.
The jurors asserted that ga
competent inspector be authorized
to report on this condition and if
it is found to be true that the
present boat and equipment be re-
without delay"
Seven definite recommendations
for lettering the county home
were listed.
Protection is needed for the line
shaft in the laundry; a new cook
stove is needed; improved venti-
lation in the kitchen is needed;

ecrding to H. A. Marks, president.
Five years ago today, Marks
raid, the representatives of six To-
cal agencies met at the Chamber
Of Commerce and agreed to join
their fund raising efforts in one
'rnual campaign. They adopted a
constitution and bylaws and elect
ed the following officers:
Harriss Newman, president; the
Pew. Walter B. Freed, vice-presi-
dent; C. F. Moose, treasurer; and
George L. Stearns, secretary.
Newman, the founding presi-
dent, served until the annual
meeting early in 1914, at which
time, Storer P. Ware, then secre-
tary of the North Carolina Ship
building company was elected to
succeed him. Ware soon left to
Join the armed forces, and his
term was. finished by Mr.. Freed.
Presidents since Freed have been,

3 third was raised for war relief
appeals, and during this period
has saved Wilmington 101 sepa-

Stocky, heavy-set j. B. Brown,

and an argument that occurred
aboard a boat that was carrying

Three Negroes, all passengers

yesterday in Judge Leo Cars

COLD SNAP HITS
l947 CORN CROP
Temperatures Drop To
Lowest Point For July
In Chicago History

CHICAGO, July 22-U.P)-A mid,
summer cold snap moved across
the Midwest today, dropping tenn
peratures at some points to rec
ord-breaking lows for July.
The new threat to the corr crop
developed as the Agriculture de-
partment at Washington revised
upwards its 1947 estimate of yield,
rejecting the effect of good
weather that has prevailed in the
corn belt during the first two
weeks Of July.
The Departments estimate,
made in a special report, was for
a crop of 2,770, $50, 900 bushels, an
improvement of 158, 600, 900 bush
els over the departments July
estimate. Crop experts said more
delay in the growth of corn which
vas hit by floods last month and
the increasing danger from frost
this eall before the crop is devel-
oped fully, might necessitate a
new and lower estimate.
The freakish twist of weather
had immediate reaction on the
Board of Trade, the worlds larg-
est grain mart.
Corn Price Jumps
Low temperatures IN the corr
belt states caused early strength
in trading and corn for delivery
