a few days.
June % is called the summer
solstice because at this time of the
year the u does not seem te
change it's height at noon fol
several days. The word solstice
comes from two Latin words
meaning sun and stand. At the
summer solstice (and also at the
winter solstice) the sun seems tc
stand still.
South of the Equator, people
have a very short day and a very
long night on June %.

We cal | this day the winter

is the shortest day in the year,
and the longest night. AS you go
farther north on December o, the
night grows longer and longer
until, around the North pole, there
are tWenty-four hours of darkness.
In the Southern Hemisphere. just
the reverse is true. On December

The Wilmington morning star., 1947-02-26

article shows the path which the
earth takes around the sun. The
artist has drawn the earth's posi-.
ton on four different days in the
year, March 81, June %, Sep
TENDER % and December %.
On March 81 you see both the
North pole and the South pole
lighted by the sun. Everywhere or
earth, night and day r within a
few minutes of the same length,
and so we call this March day the
spring equinox. The word equinox
means equal night. The term
vernal or spring equinox is used
by astronomers to indicate the
point in the sky where the sun may
be found on this date.
September % is called the
autumn equinox, and on this date
we find much the same conditions
as on March 81. In the picture you
are looking at the dark half of the
globe, where it is night.
All over the earth sunrise and
sunset are just about twelve hours
apart on the equinoxes.
Now look at the earth's position
on June %. An area all round the
North pole is in the sunlight, while
an equal area around the South
pole is in darkness. On that date,
the sun never sets in the far north
and never rises in the far south.

SynchrOniZe Traffic Lights

experimentation of traffic lights has
been a periodical problem in Whining
ton, and as of today no permanent
solution has been found.
For a time the motorist driving six
teen miles an hour could pass the full
length of the traffic light area on any
street without interruption save as
other persons at motorcar wheels failed
to obey the light or maintain the req
uisite speed.
Barring the human element and &C.
centricities of some drivers, traffic need
suffer no delay.
Since those blessed days the lights
have contracted irregular habits, with
but few of them changing on time.
Obviously in an experiment, the signals
on north and south streets have been
turning green at two or three intersec-
lions simultaneously, but switching to
red before a motorist driving at mod
crate speed can pass more than one.
To say the least, this is confusing and
not particularly good for even equitable
tempers.
If traffic is to move smoothly
through the signal-protected business
district the city's electrical department
will have to do something to correct a
manifest nuisance.
1t is not unusual in traffic-infested
cities for green lights to remain on
long enough for the traffic stream to
pass more than one intersection. Our
observation has been that where this
custom obtains the lights are so synchro
nized that cars moving promptly at tn
turn of the light are not caught mid
block beyond the second intersection.
If Wilmington lights were equally
well adjusted there would be NO rea
son for complaint.
AS, the matter stands the City Hal
} has ample reason to heed the protest
that have reached the Council an
which are echoed in the Star of1lc
Frequently. -

Delinquency On Decline D..

When Mrs. J. C. Layton, clerk of the
Juvenile Court, says there is no reason
Tor alarm over juvenile delinquency in
this community, as she does in an inter.
view in yesterdays Star, she relieves
many minds of anxiety that has been
especially DEPRESSING since the war came
and youngsters in large numbers were
left to their own devices when both par
snts accepted employment.
While this is solacing, there is nc
reason for anyone to assume that de-
linquency is actually on the way out.
1t never has been. AS long as children
are born with normal emotional reac-
tons, it will be-.
It's extent depends in largest mea-
sure on the lack Of parental guidance.
If it is on the decline here the rea-
son probably is that mothers who were
employed in war industry are returning
to their domestic duties and giving their
offspring more care than was then pos
sible.
AS the physician diagnosing illness
searches for its predisposing cause, SO
it is the duty of the community to strike
ct the underlying cause of delinquency
In its diagnosis it will find, as Mrs.
Layton declares, that the breaking up
of homes is at the roots of the trouble
in nine cases out of ten. With this es-
tablished it is incumbent upon the COM
munity to apply the cure, not in punish
ing the child for it's misdeeds, but by
preventing the separation of parents.
This can best be done through a court
Of domestic relations where quarreling
parents may thresh out their differ
ences and with the advice of a compe-
tent judge find the way toward adjust
nnent.
Encouraging as Mrs. Layton's state
nent is, the delinquency situation would
be vastly improved if Wilmington has
such a court. It's creation has been de-
layed too long. Let the necessary steps
for it's establishment be taken without
further delay.

Jerome Scheuer of Boston is q
keen student of contract bridge
bidding. He is most insistent upon
sound overcalls, and one of his
pet theories is that a player should
get out of the bidding as quickly
as possible when a hand shows up
as a misfit.
Scheuer opened the bidding OF
today's hand with n club, North,
his partner, bid n diamond, East
one spade.
Realizing that there might be
a misfit, Scheuer decided against
bidding two hearts, and was agree
ably surprised when his partner
doubled the one spade bid. He
quite willingly passed again, and
was more than ever surprised when
West bid two hearts.
In the play Scheuer and ms
partner were able to take the first
nine tricks plus the ace OF trumps'
He won the opening lead Wit
the ace of clubs and returned the
diamond, North winning with the
queen. The ace of diamonds was
cashed and a small diamond rufted
by Scheuer. A small club came
back, North ruffed, led another
diamond and Scheue~ ruffed this
with the ten of hearts. He leo
another club for North to ruff.
Scheuer ruffed the diamond return
with the king of hearts and led
back his last club. Declarer
trumped this with the seven OF
hearts, North ~overruffed with the
eight, and of course the ace OF
hearts .nti1A. had .AoeAake al$xiek.

To The Editor:
l would like TO say a few word,
III connection 10 the proposed oil
truck lane on Seventh street.
1t seems the State Highway
Commission insists routing oil
trucks through the center Of til,

read in the papers the commission
contends that Seventh street, which
is almost center of the city. would
be a less fire hazard than il rou,

habit of routing all truck laneI
through the center Of the cities
of North Carolina. l seriously dolN
if Greensboro, Durham. Charlotte

May l call the commission al:

that an oil truck lane here would

The terrible stir made in Moscow over
Undersecretary of State Acheson's re-
ply to a question during a Senate in
quiry, and Secretary of State MarshalPs
answer to the Russian protest, served
we'll to point out the thinness of Rus
sian skin and the Russion sensitiveness
to criticism. The lack of Russian consid-
Grafton for other nations, when her own
interests are to be served, is now made
plain.
In an article occupying a page and
one-quarter in Pravda, the official organ
of the Communist Party's Central Com
mittee, Otto Kuusinen, president of the
Karelo-Finnish republic and member of
the presidium of the Supreme Soviet
of the Soviet Union, warns western Eu-
rope against political attacks by the
United States and Britain" in an ex-
haustive Indictment of American and
Great Britain toward the Continent.
Note this quotation from a dispatch
from Moscow, to the New York Times
by Drew Middleton, who has as clear an
understanding of Russian policy and
motives as any correspondent in the
Russian capital:
"Mr. Kuusinen specifically warns
western Europe against an American
plan for a reciprocal lowering of tariffs
the world over, which will probably be
presented in Geneva in April when sew
enteen nations meet to found the Inter
national Trade Organization.
Ellis advice to Europe is to retain
its economic national independence in
the face of the American danger, which
in the case of France, he says, has al
ready gravely jeopardized her chance
of carrying out a program Of nation
alization and progressive economic re-.
form"
And again:
american and British plans for the
subjugation of European states, Mr..
Kuusinen asserted, are aimed not only
at shattering the independence of those
states, but also at d%isrupting the cause
of a durable peace. The plans, he said,
are launched by Mr.. Churchill and his
British and American followers, "the
advocates of new wars"
Obviously the Russians see nothing
wrong in falsely accusing the nations
that saved her from destruction by the
Germans of ambitions foreign to the
policies of the United States and Brit
ain, but resent the truth when it is
spoken of themselves.
It makes one wonder if it will eve
be possible to live in peace and harmony
with the Sovie+ Union.

A ROOM ON THE ROUTE,
by Godfrey Blunden (Lippin-
colt; 81; SONS, by v. A. Smir-
nov, translated by Naomi Y.
Yohel Doubleday; $2.75).
Australian = born Blunden takes
for the subject of his novel a small
group of men and women in Mos
COW during World War II, and
Smirnov, of the Soviet Writer'S I'm
ion, gives a fictional account of the
betWeen-Wars collectivization of a
small village. Even allowing for
the difference in the periods, you
would think these men were writ
ing about countries as far apart
as two moons, as opposite as ITO
pia and Gehenna.
Smirnov's story is about Anna
Mikhailovna and her twin ons
Alexei and Mikhail. Grubbing for
a meager existence, at best keep
ing a horse and COW, laboring to
clothe the growing youngsters,
fighting with her neighbor, get
ting more and more help from the
experimental village Soviet. Anna
is won over slowly to acceptance
of the new society.
