1T would be wrong to give Oxford
credit for teaching me how to drink,
but all the same it certainly fur
nished me with opportunities for
tentatively testing the art on my
self, as well as for observing the
dubious progress and occasional dis

The Duke, in telling of his early
travels on the continent, relates one
anecdote concerning a courtesy call
on Kaiser William II of Germany.
Kaiser Sits in Saddle.
HE was sitting in uniform behind
an extraordinarily high desk and in
greeting me rose in most curious
manner, as If dismounting from a
horse" Edward wrote. upon draw

wooden block shaped like a horses

saddle, complete with stirrups.

had found a saddle more conducive

Duke Of Windsor Tells
I'm Article Of Dislike
For Royal Ceremony
BY the Associuted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The Duke
Of Windsor, writing of his investi-
ture as Prince of Wales, said yester-
day it was during this ceremony that
he learned II recoiled from that
which tended to set me us as per-
son requiring homage"
In the second of a series of three
photographed articles in Life
magazine on his youth, the Duke de-
scribed minutely great state cere-
monials in which he participated
and also wrote frankly of his days
as a student at oxford University
and as a gay young cavalry officer
in London.
At the investiture. which took
place when he was II, Edward re-
belled unsuccessfully against the
costume he was expected to wear,
which he described as fantastic"
and "preposterous rig"
Taught Welsh Sentences.
The ceremony was held in Wales
and Lloyd George, later Prime Min
lister, had taught the young Prince
some Welsh sentences to speak, tell
ing him "all Welshmen will love
you for that"
After the investiture, Edward
wrote he was half fainting of heat
and nervousness" but Il delivered
the Welsh sentences which Mr.
Lloyd George, standing close by in
the ancient earb of constable, had
taught me.
In the midst of all this commo-
ton, I made painful discovery
about myself. 1t was that while I
was prepared to fulfill the duties
bound up in my heritage, recoiled
from that which tended to set me
up as a parsonage requiring homage.
After all, hadn't my father drilled
into me that I was no better than
anybody else?"
Writing of his years at Oxford,
the Duke commented wryly that the
ancient university failed to break
down the resistance to learning that
was the legacy of my unbookish an
cestors."
He said he was a little discour-

TOP o. THE
WHY JAYCEES grow

In his address at the Junior Cham
Der Of Commerce Founders Day banquet
George W.. Chandler declared the Jayceeq
the most rapidly growing civic organ
zation in the land. If the same situation
exists in other cities that prevails in VIII
mington, Mr.. Chambers claim is not TO
be doubled.
The Wilmington Junior Chamber Of
Commerce is not only growing rapidly
in membership but in stature as well
and the reason is not hard to find. II is
a hard working organization. Its work
Is constructive, with the sole purpose Of
attaining goals that add most TO the de-
velopment and welfare Of the city.
It was the Junior Chamber Of Commerce
that conducted the successful campaign
for the council form Of government. 1t has
been the Junior Chamber of Commerce
that has been selling tuberculosis bonds.
II has conducted waste paper campaigns
and devoted the proceeds to worthy under
iakings, including the Bruce c. Cameron
Memorial Boys camp organized and con-
ducted by the Brigade Boys Club. IT gave
Invaluable service in rounding up the
votes that brought success to the city ex-
tension campaign. In a dozen other ways
it has contributed funds and services thai
have counted largely in the progress Of
Wilmington.
Because it works ii grows. And because
it grows if is able TO do more work.
Wilmington is deeply indebted TO the
Junior Chamber Of Commerce not only for
its services but because in a few years the
young men who comprise its membership,
having reached ripper age. will have to
take over the chief responsibility for the
citYs business and industrial, cultural,
educational and spiritual progress. The
training they are now acquiring, by their
own effort and at times by hard knocks.
is fitting them for those duties.

FIREWORKS VICTIMS

The Hospital Care Association, with

survey Of fireworks injuries between
december 10, l946, and January 10, ls47.
Two hundred, fifty-one doctors reported.
AS this total is but a fraction Of the phv-

CIVILIZATION RISE AND FALL

This wide world, 5000 miles If
diameter and $4,000 miles round,
with over fifty million square miles
of land and twice as much water,
is the home of two billion people.
Some of them r crammed in
great cities; some are scattered
here and there with vast spaces
all around them. London has more
people than all Australia.
There are many striking differ
ences between the people of varl
Gus countries, and even between
different groups of people living ir
the same country. There are, Of
course, differences in language, If
color and size, in customs and in
dress, but the strangest difference
of all is the remarkable distance
in progress that separates the
various peoples of the world.
More than twenty centuries have
passed since the beginning of the
Christian Era, and all of this time
civilization has been growing, de-
veloping, changing. Yet, there are
places where time seems to have
stood still, and the people live in
much of the same way that our
ancestors did, hundreds, or even
thousands, of years ago.
We find, in parts of China and
in other countries, farmers using
wooden plows of a type that was
used in Europe eight hundred years
ago; yet these same farmers may
wear clothing made of cloth wovel,

FOR A SPORTS PARADE.

The Stars correspondent who recently
offered a year-round schedule Of sports
and recreation, month by month, fol
Wilmington and the beaches, and whose
enthusiasm for a sports parade increases
as the days pass, now points out thai il
drinking (hard and soft, smoking, the
radio, motion pictures and outdoor sports
are Jumped" as the kids say in swapping
toys, the American people spend more
than half Of the national income on amuse-
mems. More than half the population
make amusement their chief aim in life.
Were it not this way the other half would
sfarve, government would stagnate and
there would be a business recession.
The conclusion is that any community
which does not seek by approved bust
ness methods TO get its full share Of the
biggest business in the United States does
moi deserve TO prosper. A sports parade
IS seen as one and perhaps the best means
OF launching a Year-round program. Ger
tainlY it could be expected TO attract wide
attention, even national publicity.
The proposal is that the participants
assemble at SkYways airport, thence pro-
coed TO Seagate, and around the Carolina
Beach loop, entering the city at Green
field. For grand marshal, Colonel George
Gillette is suggested. For marshal, Carl
Dunn; master Of ceremonies, Edmund
Harding; historian, Carl Goerch; pictures
(still and moving), Hugh Morton and Fox
Movietone; music master, Lieut.. Lacock.
Camp Lejeune and the Coast Guard might
cooperate. Significantly, it is added: The
Junior Chamber Of Commerce, with COOP
GRAFTON from the City Recreation Depart
ment and director, should be able TO do
a good job"
There it is-the project in its broades1
dimensions. The reason for undertaking
it, and a tentative list Of officials, are
offered. All that is needed is the enthu.
siasm Of the proponent on a community
wide scale TO put it across.

MARSHALL'S MEANING CLEAR

When General Marshall declared so
commercially that he never could be
drafted" for, political office he was not
quite accurate although his meaning was
not TO be doubted. He has just been
sworn into a political office as Secretary
Of State. What he meant was that he
would not seek or be drafted for an cleo
tive office, particularly the presidency.
But so long as he remains in the Cabi-
net he will hold political office. And
if, as we may reasonably believe, he
applies the exact, and not the debased.
definition Of politics,-that is TO say, the
science Of governmental his conduct
in the State Department there can be
no complaint Of his holding a political
office.
He enters upon his new dulles under
favorable circumstances. By his frank
assertion that he has no aspirations as
a potential tenant Of the White House
he won instantaneous approval Of both
democrats and republicans in Congress
a fact that should smooth his path in
the Intricate problems both the State
Department and the Congress must solve

a position in which he discharged his
duties with exceptional credit.
He brings 10 his new duties a clear
understanding Of United States relations
with other nations and the complica-
fions that have made it so difficult to
maintain this nations proper place in
adjustments for world peace.
Altogether, General MarshalTs tenure
Of office promises marked advance in

THE BOOK OF
KNOWLEDGE

chinery. We find the Laplanders
living in tents of reindeer skin,
while not far away, in Sweden,
people live in houses with all Of
the most modern conveniences.
Australia has a highly develope
modern civilization, yet back ii
the wild interior of the continent
there are tribes who are still liv-
ing in the Stone Age.
Great civilizations flourisheo
thousands of years ago in Persia
and Assyria, Babylonia, Egypt and
Ur of the Chaldees. When these
countries were at the height OF
their greatness, western Europe
was a land of endless forests, in
habitated by a few savage tribes,
and America was not Eve known
to exist. AS the centuries passed,
civilization moved westward. ano
today, those ancient lands, after a
long period of decay, are receiving
new light and new life from the
civilization of the once barbarous
West.
Great Civilizations Rise,
Then Vanish Into Tine
All of human history is a great
tapestry woven of many threads.
The same threads do not all reach
the whole length of the tapestry;
new ones are continually being
drawn into the mesh and inter-
woven with the old to make an
ever-changing picture. The fabric
on the loom of Time grows ever
longer. We are SO close to its grow
ing end that it is difficult for us
to see the far-off beginning of the
tapestry.
Time covers up the history of
mankind, so that all that we know
of the past is only a small part of
what has actually existed. Through
archaeology, some of the buried
cities and lost civilizations have
been found, and the manners and
customs of their people traced
through the records they left be-
hind them, carved in stone, or
impressed on clay tablets, or
painted on the walls of tombs.
It is a strange thing to consider,
that because so much Of the knowl-
edge and history of our own times
is recorded only upon perishable
paper, or celluloid film, the men Of
thousands of years from now may
know less about our life than we
know about the life of the people
of ancient Egypt.
