A letter received yesterday
by Postmaster Wilbur Doshur
from two lonely Swedish
soldiers, revealing the world
wide popularity of American
girls, has prompted a Star
News contest to choose two
girls to correspond with tn e
soldiers.
Hans Hellberg and Folbe
Isaksson are two soldiers in the
Swedish army stationed Sin the
great solitude" of north Sweden
and they asked Postmaster
Doshur to try to find two Amer
lean girls to write to them.
They wrote:
Dear Postmaster: We are
sure you'll be very surprised
when you read this. You see we
are two soldiers in the great
solitude Of north Sweden.
"Just now we got the idea
of having some fun. Please give
our addresses to two (2) girls
(H-21 years. and beg them to
write us. Please do this.
"We are sure you can if you
want. We are no bad boys. We
are very differentiated and in
terested in literature (Heming-
way, Faulkner, Steinbeck, Frs
kline Caldwell, Wolfe), art and
music classical and old jazz.
cit isn't necessary that the
girls have the same interests in
any case. We only wish some
one to correspond with and ex-
change letters and thoughts
with.
"Please help us and we'll be
very very thankful to you.
with best wishes,.-~..
"Folbe 1saksson

Recognizing that soldiers,
particularly in peace-tine, are
additionally lonely and always
waiting for letters, particularly
girls, and particularly from
American girls, the Star-News
Lonely Hearts department has
undertaken to find two Ameri
can girls for two Swedish sol
diers.
Wilmington girls between the
ages of II and 81 are invited
to write to the Star-News Lone

why they think they wou]e be

&c. Hardwck Comes Up
With Brilliant Idea For
Paul Hess
By IND

Now we're getting somewhere.
instead of starting a bucket
,.;aade from here to Winston
caIero. as suggested in the Will
s.inoton News weather Quips''
l.st Friday, J. c. Hardwick, 3Oa
~rolonial drive, has come up with
y brilliant idea to relieve the
'',.ter shortage in the Cigarette
City. .
n.y. Of Weather Quips" yesterday,
In my opinion the bucket
,rioade idea is a swell sugges-
+;on. but believe you will agree
hat it would be much easier to
,nove Weatherman Paul Hess to
w;nston-Salem instead"
And he adds a final punch:
"p S. The sooner the better
Whv didn't we think of that
=, the first place? We figured
Il would take 900,0 men, all
so,,ipped with buckets, spread
slong the highway between here
md VS. to provide the much
needed water up there.
But with Hardwick's idea, we
could accomplish the same result
bv simply moving Hess, lock,
stock and barometer, to VS..
Then Wilmingtonians could
nut away their umbrellas and
r1bbers, go back to the beaches
once more, and Coach Brogden
could let his grid boys play their
Games as scheduled.
The bucket brigade idea had
ifs points, but we are always
willing to take good suggestions.
Besides, we must admit that
we got the idea from an old
FDR joke.
It went something like this:
I'D was making one of his
famous fireside chats. "My
friends" he said with the voice
that gave confidence to millions.
q have a plan to transfer the
Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific
Ocean. The transfer, which we
at Washington have worked out
to the last detail, would not be
BY means of a transcontinental
pipeline, nor by means of the
Panama Canal, but by means Of
a bucket brigade"
See what we mean
Hardwick's idea, however, has
one drawback. Hess says he
doesn't want to move to Winston
Salem. I'D much rather go tc
Florida" he said.
Hardwick didn't suggest any
other place for Hess to go be-
sides Winston-Salem, but we are
sure, if he had, it would have
been a spot much warmer thar
Florida.

Construction Wages
Lag Behind Costs
OF Building

WashingtOn-LPA- workers
in the building trades are working just
as long hours, but earning more money
than they did a year ago. Wages are
up an average of Csc an hour in the
basic pay scale of nearly 100000 union
workers in seven principal construc-
ton classifications
According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, plumbers and plasterers
won the highest increase, 10 per cent,
between July 1, 1916 and July 1, 1947.
Others were: bricklayers, 1872 per
cent; carpenters, 1874; electricians,
1876; painters, 11.6, and building lab
Orers, 1873.
Over the eight year period between
July, 1889 and 1947, wages in the
building trades rose 40 per cent, COM
pared to the cost-of-living rise of SO
per cent. During the same time prices
of building materials at wholesale rose
SO per cent-thus disproving any
claims that building employees have
caused the disasterous rise in prices
of newly built homes.
