The Chamber Of Commerce

In starting its annual membership
campaign the Chamber of Commerce
properly looks to the Wilmington bust
ness, professional and industrial COM
munity for support.
The campaign directors point out
that membership is a matter of COM
munity pride and interest and that the
Chamber Of Commerce provides a
medium for %channeling efforts by which
the city may expand it's industrial &C
Invites, SO greatly needed in this post
wal reorganization period.
Wilmington has been fortunate to
have several industrial firms establish
plants within and near it's borders, but
needs more to replace the payrolls that
fell off when hostilities were ended.
The Chamber of Commerce can have
a more vital role in attracting them
provided the people back it financially
and take an active part in it's work.
Scranton, Pennsylvania, provides an
excellent example Of what a city can
do to get itself back on it's feet when
it is caught in the backwash of war
industry subsistence. With its Cham
Der Of Commerce in the forefront,
S~crantonites have created 13,245 new
jobs with an annual payroll of 1924, 1885,
900, and declare they have only begun
their effort to increase employment and
earnings. They point to t~wenty-six new
industries and thirteen major expan-
<sions of existing industrial facilities
as achievements to date.
Whether Wilmington can hope to
equal this extraordinary record is not
as important as the fact that the Cham
Der Of Commerce is on the job and
has a job for every forward-looking
Wilmingtonian who wishes his city to
be among the communities taking full
advantage Of the opportunity for de-
velopment.
It deserves your support. Join to-
day.

Tax Reduction Doomed

A fair guess is that tax reduction
is doomed so far as the present Con-
.gress is concerned.
Although the House passed the bill
with such an overwhelming majority
that a second veto obviously would be
overriden. the Senate's vote was two
short of the necessary two-thirds re-
.quired to repass a measure once a
President has turned it down.
As the matter now stands, and in
view of Mr.. Truman's assurance that
the bill will be vetoed, the House may
be expected to nullify and the Senate
sustain the veto. If this transpires,
tax reduction will be as dead as Paddy's
goat.
However, this does not preclude
the possibility that a few senators who
voted against the'bill on Monday might
change their minds and so help give
the nations taxpayers the relief they
richly deserve. But it is the merest
possibility.
Mr.. Truman appears in the position
of enforcing his will upon the Congress
"a personal victory but liable to prove
costly in next years presidential cleo
ton should he be the democrats nomi-
nee to succeed himself. Whatever rea-
sons he may offer for vetoing the tax
bill, the people generally will blame
him for making them carry the huge
tax burden longer than they are con-
WINGED it needs to be shouldered.

EARLY DAYS OF FRENCH
TANAnA

As told in a previous article,
French exploration in North
America began when Jacques
Cartier visited eastern Canada in
1894 and 1885, exploring the Gulf
Of St. Lawrence and part of the
St. Lawrence River. However, it
was 10 years later before any per-
manent French settlements were
established.
The early history Of Canada is
the story Of fishermen and fur
traders. There was q good mar
ket in Europe for the Goldfish of
the eastern coastal waters. Soon
fishermen began to come ashore
in order to dry their catch of fish.
In these fishing stations, they
came in contact with the Indians,
who brought furs to sell in ex-
change for goods from France or
England.
The French frs: tried to make
settlements in Canada because
they wanted to organize the fur
trade. Many trials ended in trag-
coy before the first colony OF
French settlers that survived was
Founded in 1904. This was at Port
Royal, on the Bay Of Fundy. in
what is now the province of Nova
Scotia. The settlers called the re-
gion Acadia.
One of the men who helped in
founding Port Royal was a young
soldier and explorer, Samuel de
Champlain. In 1903, it was he who
began the real New France at
Quebec on the st. Lawrence
RIVER.

suffered from enormous difficult
ties, which very nearly destroyed
the whole venture. During those
years, France was frequently at
war with England, and at one
time both Port Royal and Quebec
fell into the hands of the English.
Meanwhile, the fur trade was
proving difficult to control. The
Indians brought their furs down
the St. Lawrence River system,
and they we're constantly attacked
by their enemies, the fierce Iro-
q1eis, who lived in what is now
northern New York. The Indians
with whom .Champlain traded
were the Hurons and the Algon-
gums. The Iroquois, supplied with
weapons by the Dutch and Eng
lish traders in the Hudson Valley,
came down the waterways that
flow from the south into the St.
Lawrence and tell upon the Hur-
ons On their way to the French
posts.
These years, however, yer not
without progress, for many impor-
tant discoveries were made. The
fur traders and the missionaries
together made known to the white
man all the main river routes of
the St. Lawrence system.
Champlain himself found his
way up the Ottawa River. across
the river route into Georgian Bay,
and southwark across Lake On
tario into New York. Another
Frenchman, Jean Nlcolet, padded
with a band Of Indians hallway
down Lake Michigan and explor-
ed what Is nov Wisconsin.
Equally important and daring
was the work Of the missionaries.
These men, in a country which
they called Huronia between Lake

ans. Here they established mis-
sion stations. They brought in a

these mission stations, Sainte Ma

Nostalgia

In an excerpt from Albert ]. Bever-
lidge's abraham Lincoln" found in a
contemporary, we note this: $50 many
were the visitors during sessions of
Congress that the four hotels along the
venue (Pennsylvania) could scarcely
find room for them"
i, What were the four hotels on the
avenue a century age? There was the
National, at Sixth, where Henry Clay
died, and the Metropolitan across the
street at the southeast intersection.
The Ebbett, perhaps, was the third.
This is only q guess, but in our boyhood
it looked all of a hundred years old.
Was there a Willard? We wouldn't
know.
The excerpt notes that Washington's
streets were not lighted, ave for a
short stretch on the avente which was
.dimly Illuminated by smoky oil lamps"
1t was not so long, however, as time
flies, before Washington installed gas,
with lamps at corners - not more
than thirty or forty years - and there
was nothing so nice in a youngsters
life as accompanying the lamplighter
on his rounds carrying his lighted
taper, or, on rare occasions, being per-
mitted to turn on and light a lamp.
This wa quite a trick, as the light
must burn only so brightly and the
glass side of the contraption protecting
the light, which was hinged, must be
securely hooked. How many blocks we
marched at the lamplighter's side,
when We could evade parental prohibi-
ton, for this thrill.
This all happened while Washington
people rode in one-horse street cars,
before even Pennsylvania avenue was
fully paved, people went to church reg
ularly on Sundays, and the parks were
still bowers Of beauty instead Of the
eyesores most of them have become
since.
Washington was a grand place in
our early boyhood, ever if we did start
to school in an abandoned livery stable
peabody Annex where the aroma of
former tenants still fingered. We learn
ed to swim in Eastern Branch, back
of the District Jail, where Guiteau.
President Garfield's assassin, was hang
ed, and which stood alone in the vast
commons beyond Lincoln park, now
solidly built up.
In the nostalgia this excerpt from
Beveridge's book creates, We find little
to recommend the Washington of today.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-07-16
BY T EDISON

WASHINGTON. - The greatest
sheer that could be hurled at any
M in Washington in wartime was
to call i'm 4 "Coordinator."
Those were the Gays when Nelson
Rockefeller was Coordinator for
South America. Archie MacLeish
was Coordinator of Facts and
Figures and there were coordins-
tors for this, that and every other
little thing.
Congressman up on Capitol Hill
used to delight in heaping scorn
on the heads Of all the coordi-
majors downtown. 1t got so bad
that when Wilson Wyatt came to
Washington to be Housing Coordi-
nator, he said, When you call
me Coordinator, smile!"
But times have changed. Now
what do you find? You find that
the congressman have named
themselves a Coordinator of Infcr-
nation, that's what you find.
He has been on the job a couple
Of months now, SO it seemed like
an idea to run him down and see
how he was getting on with his
coordinating. Anyone coordinating
Congress must be good.
He was harder TO find than the
guy who started throwing those
saucers. The Clerk Of the House
gave directions to a little-used ele-
vator. The elevator operator knew
which floor it was, down in the
upper basement. Then one of the
natives who to live down
there and like it, knew which door
il was. No name on 1t. But inside
was Mr.. Coordinator ]. Frederick
Richardson himself, comfortably
housed in a big old-fashioned Of
flee with a circular end, a fire
place and a couple Of helpers.
Mr.. Richardson looks a good bit
like a congressman - and that's
not intended to be a dirty crack,
son. He is big and gray and
mustached and bespectacled. He
used to be { newspaperman him
self and is probably a nice gent
if you ever got 10 know him.
But he says he can't talk. Conf
Dental servant OF the House, it
seems. He gives no interviews,
makes no statements. That makes
him Coordinator OF Secrets NOT
Information.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-07-16
House Tries A Coordinator

He did say he didn't expect to
occupy this space long. Had a
terrible time getting a telephone.
Seems that all the plugs or the
Capitol switchboard were assigned
to others. But eventually he'll
move over to the House Office
building. There he'll assemble a
staff and be ready for business
when Congress comes back to
town. He has $65, 600 to get going
on, $12, 900 Of which is for him,
which seems fair enough.
There are, it seems, some 5000
organizations pouring their intor-
nation in on Congress. Eight hun
dred have offices in Washington.
Fifty are considered important.
Congress doesn't know what to do
with all this material. So the idea
is to send it all to the new Co.
ordinator's office and let him do
something with it.
What can he do with it? Well,
he can file it, and he can make
card-indexes Of it, 50 that if any
body ever wants it, he'll know ex-
actly where it should be, at any
rate. That's exactly what Con-
gress has needed all along. A Co
ordinator Of Useless and Mislaid
Information.
The House Coordinator Of Infor-
nation will also answer questions
from congressman who want to
know what's what about what. He
won't do any original research,
but he will make use OF the work
already done by others. He will
Try to report both sides, without
partisan bias in selection or pres
entation," as 1t says in House
Resolution 1873, which created the
job.
OF course, a block away from
the Capitol is another big-doomed
Victorian pile known as the Ii
brary of Congress. Its more mod
ern annex is just about as big.
Together they make the hest IL
brary in the country, If not in
the world.
In these buildings works a group
of scholars in the Legislative Re-
erence Service. It is Congress
own research organization. But tor
some reason the congressman
seem to mistrust all that book
learnin', and they mistrust all
those college professors in Legis-
lative Reference Service. They re-
organized it last year, but still
weren't satisfied, so they set up
this sos, 900 Coordinator Of Infor-
nation.
All this is in keeping with party
pledges to economic. wipe out un-
necessary and duplicating aaen-
cies and bring greater efficiency
Into overnment.

VISION AND CRASHES

On the theory hal you can't
put millions of drivers with 40-mile-
an-hour eyes into 90-mile-an-hour
vehicles on 55-mile-an-hour high
ways without disastrous results"
the head of the New York State
Optometric Association urges that
motorists be obliged to undergo
eye tests every five years. He in
sists such a provision would cut
down our annual highway accident
toll tremendously, and there can
be no doubt but that his insistence
that poor vision is the cause of a
large number of our accidents can
not be taken lightly. - Boston Post.
