though Southport made no Dlo

that the town has been listed

ton for, the 1OOO-bed neuropsy-'
chiatric hospital, recently au-
thorized for North Carolina by
the Veterans Administrator
J. E.. Harris, Chief of the Re
Division and r e a l

Star-News representative this

would arrive in Southport on or
about October 9th. He REQUEST
ed that all available informa-
ton be assembled and held for
this board on it's arrival.
The requirements are for 25e
to, 300 acres in or near town.
This area having various fea-
lures. Mr.. Harris stated that
zoo, 900 gallons Of water would
be required daily and that ii
was highly desirable that con-
nection with city sewerage sys-
tenn be available.
Southport will endeavor tc
present Fort Caswell as a loca'
ton already having many Of the
required factors. The property
consists of 300 acres. with its
own sewerage system, water
works, electric current supplied
from Southport and many sub
stantial buildings and physi
cal properties, that will lene
themselves admirably to the
administration of the hospital
1t is thought that with the selec'
ton of Fort Caswell little more
than a main building would be
involved in an immediate con.
struction program.
The climate and scenic sur
roundings are ideal with posi-.
bilitjes for much in the way oil
healthful physical recreation.
The property is owned by the
Navy, which has no present
needs for it and apparently lit
tie probability of future needs.
A transfer of the land and the
physical properties to the Vet
Grams Administration would at
ford a huge saving in initial
costs of the hospital.

A base is needed upon which
to mount each animal. TIL S
should be at least / IA inches
wide, and about as long as the
animal. After each animal and
it's base have been sandpaper-
ed and balanced, the base is
carefully nailed to the animals
feet with two or more small
brads or nails. Be sure that
your animal is placed along the
center line of your base, or he
may topple over.
Now you are ready to give
the animal his color. Any spots
or other decorations should be
painted a bright color with COM
mon oil paints or with water
color. Care should be taken that
it does not spread into the
grain Of the wood.
When this or the oil paint is
dry, an oil stain can be rubbed
over both wood and decoration
with a soft cloth. Later it should
be rubbed down with two or
more coats of wax. If only COM
mon oil paints are used, the
spots and other markings
should be made after, rather
than before, the first coat is
applied.
The colors for each animal
will be left to your judgment.
For example, you may paint a
bear brown, black or white.

Mayor S. A. Smith issued in

down on delinquent water bills
by ordering that service be dis
continued when bills have not
been paid by the 18th of the

In a signed statement, the
mayor said:
"All water bills are due and
payable on or before the 18th
of each month and the water
department has been notified
that when such requirement is
not met that service is to be
discontinued. In order to have
this service cut on, an addition
al charge of $1.00 will be made.
The bills are payable at the
town office only"
The latter sentence in the
statement is interpreted to mean
that water department employees
who are sent out to discontinue
service are not authorized to

mist party retains important
strength.
And in raising the level Of life
everything depends on two
things. There must be dollars
from the United States, to pro-
vide wheat for bread, fertilizer
for the long unfertilized fields
and coal and raw materials for
the factories. And we must
somehow prevent the world eco
nomic collapse which would cut
off the Italian export Gas well
as our OWN. Disaster will come
in Italy if the dollars are lack
ing or world economic chaos is
permitted to occur.
The specific needs of Italy
are, moreover, fairly moderate
in total. Securing wheat alloca-
tons from the world pool "a
vital subject which must be
dealt with later at greater
lengthy will actually be harder
than making the needed dollars
available. In very brief terms,
the Italian government has
asked Washington for $3.50 mil
lions to cover the deficit for
the rest of this year, and for
a descending scale of recon-
struction credits for four years
thereafter. These sums to put
Italy on her feet amount to 1925
millions for 1949, $40 millions
for 1850 and $3.50 millions for
1851.
The amounts are considerable
but they are also approximate
ly one-fortieth of the cost to the
American taxpayer of another
$40 billions annually for nation
al defense. And the incompar-
able myopia of a Kenneth
Wherry - surely an important
case for politico-medical histo-
ry-is needed not to see that
tripling the cost Of the national
defense will be the first result
of letting western Europe slip
