Let's Get Going

But if we are to have a festival in which
all would enjoy sincere pride, then it is
time for those who want it to begin their
plans.
Although the Christmas season is upon
us, it should not deter those intensely in
beginning early arrangements so that the
necessary work could get under way imme-
diately after the first of the year. Because
January is looked upon as a additionally
"dulI' month, it offers plenty of time for the
leaders and committees to get down to lay
ing the foundation. There are scores of gen.
eral plans and hundreds of details requir-
ing attention if a worthwhile festival is to
be presented. Well not go into them now. OF
course, any program should include ar
engagements for at least visitations to our
other beauty spots, such as Orion planta-
ton. Each has a distinctiveness of its own
which adds to the accumulation of varied
wealth of beauty seldom found elsewhere
in our land.
But the important thing is that the COM
munity should get to work on its plans.
1t is going to mean a lot Of work for many
people but the reward will certainly be
worth whatever effort is exerted to proper
ly present this great asset. 1t will call for
close cooperation, not only between indivi-
duals but groups. Coordination of thought
and effort will be most essential. And it is
going to cost some money, just how much
depends on the extensiveness of the first
years goals.
There is no doubt in the minds of the
great majority of Wilmingtonians who know
their Greenfield lake and park about the
success of the festival if it is undertaken
with the t~horoughness and determination
it deserves. Many have ideas, and mighty
good ones, too, which will add to the at
tractiveness of the general program. But
let's get them out Of the soft spoken dis
cussion stage. Let's get into action. Let's
get going on what can be the most ~colorful
of all means of inviting the remainder of
the state and nation to share a rare beauty
which we have failed to properly exploit for
SO many years.

Of money invested. John Hack

W~iImington's three greatest natural assets
are the port, nearby beaches and Green
field park and lake.
We know of no other city which enjoys
possession of three comparable types OF
community property.
It is usually the concensus OF those
thoroughly familiar with these assets that
their full potentialities have not been
achieved. While they may appear to have
been developed to a point of adequately
meeting present local demands, it has not
been until recent years that n real effort
has been exerted to better share them with
the remainder of North Carolina. Perhaps
everyday Indifference to their great value
and a shortage of vision may be responsible
for the manner in which they are too often
taken for granted. Yet, each could be made
into an attraction which would bring mil
lions of additional dollars into Wilmington
annually.
The advantage of port developments and
greater promotion of the beaches have been
discussed frequently in these columns.
Today, we shall emphasize the potential
value of Greenfield lake and park. Atten-
ton will be conferred on one of the means
an annual Azalea festival-easily possible
of bringing this rare beauty spot to the at
tention of thousands and thousands, not only
in North Carolina but the nation, with high
1y beneficial results to Wilmington.
The idea of the fete, patterned on lines
of those successfully presented elsewhere,
was offered many, many months ago.
Everyone was in agreement that, with the
park better developed than ever, it would
be a wonderful community undertaking. But
since then, we've heard comparatively little
about it. Because it would be an event
requiring not weeks but months of prepara-
ton. this festival is the best of all opportuni-
ties to share this glorious flood of Spring
beauty with others. 1t would be an excellent
preliminary to the community's annual tour
list season. 1t would advertise Wilmington in
a manner that would be the envy of many a
less fortunate city. 1t would invite more
visitors, in the week or any other period of
it's presentation, than any other single at
traction.

it was with the up-staters at Ply

into groups of five, each with a

these five-man groups con-
verged and it was possible to

British And Palestine

. Isn't it exasperating when you attempt
to help someone and their reaction is not
+. only one of complete refusal to cooperate
: but criticism Of your efforts?
That is what has happened in the Soviet
American program to effect some kim of
solution to the Palestine problem. A fail
ure for many, many years in the Holy Land,
. Great Britain recently threw up her hands
and announced that she was getting out of
the troubled land. So, the United Nations
stepped in and the United States and Rus
STA, during one Of those rare occasions when
they agree, decided on the partitioning of
Palestine into Jewish and Arabian states.
This arrangement calls for gradual trans
fer Of British authority.
But late last week, Sir Alexander Cadogan
told the UN committee on Palestine that
British rule there must end completely and
suddenly-and preferably at a very early
date" He added that the plan for step-by-
step withdrawal, a key part of the Soviet
American blueprint for partition, obvious
ly would nave disastrous consequences"
The British policy is very simple-get out
and let the devil take the hindmost.
Yet the United Nations does not have an
armed force which could replace English
troops in maintaining order during the time
division of the country into two states was
being effected. And in the absence of arm
ed authority, the expected would be the
greatest terror and bloodshed in the his
tory OF the old and torn land. Meanwhile,
. this unfavorable stand actually e~ndangers
the fate of partition itself. While Zionists
p. claim they nave lined up the necessary two
!, thirds majority needed for UN APPROVAL
Arabs, bitterly fighting partition, claim
. they have enough votes to defeat the pro-
: gram. With the British as unsvmpathetic
: toward the plan as they now appear to be
it would be no surprise if the Arabs col.

: prevented peaceful settlement of the old
problem for decades.
. When Britain pleads postwar weakness
in failing to meet her responsibilities as a
major Allied power, she is usually sympa.
. thetically forgiven.
: But it is most difficult to pardon her ir
. this latest instance. Surely she has enough
military resources to lend a helping hane
to the United States and Russia as they seel
to relieve her of a problem she has beer
unable to solve. But her new obstinatenes.
on the Palestine question is not only vexin,
to those attempting to help but endanger
their only plan of effecting a solution tina
could eventually bring a measure of peac
to the troubled Holy Land.

Amateur Subway Art
Fooled By New Tile

NEW YORK U.H Amateur
art is on the decline in New
York's subways. The board of
transportation is stepping up its
battle against zany amateur
cartoonists who beard babies,
extract teeth from smiling
models and put mustaches on
dignified dowagers.
One phase Of the boards cam
paign is to give subway Ear
tists'' less working surface and
make erasing their work easier.
1t is being done by sheathing
subway station pillars with cera-
mic tile. Tiles glazed surface is
not suited to pencil drawings
and makes erasure with soap
and water a simple matter for
cleaning crews.
A one = man erasing squad

More Direct Payment

White House reporters seem to think that
Argentina stands a good chance of getting
an American loan If the Peron government
should request one. Evidently it is felt that
a loan of dollars might purchase the South
American country's cooperation in the in
ternational food supply program.
Well, a loan probably would be cheaper
than our present practice of sending dollars
to European governments who spend them
with Argentina for S.. 90-a-bushel wheat,
with the profits going into President Peron's
treasury. Certainly such a transaction would
have a more pleasing order than that as

Fatalistic Moslems
Defy Cholera Germs

demic in Egypt has produced
many examples of Moslem fata-
ism.
A Moslem emerging from
prayers in a Mosque, where he
heard a sermon on the epidemic
and how to keep away from it,
met a peddler selling dates. He
asked him for 1.-TWO ounces of
Cholera" Dates are known to
be carriers of the microbe.
Some peddlers selling green
vegetables advertise their mer-
chandise by crying, "There IS
one God and one death"
Vegetables are apt to carry

Intellectual European Aid

A movement to encourage school children
to gather used books for the benefit of war
devastated countries youth studying our
language and interested in American ways
is expected to take on definite form in North
Carolina soon.
Already under way in Wake, its success
there prompted the proposal to expand it
into other counties.
1t is a kind of intellectual assistance to
younger Europeans which has been sadly
overlooked as practically every other effort
is suggested or undertaken to rehabilitate
the continent. 1t is a commendable means
OF providing them the opportunity for a
clearer picture and finer appreciation of
Americans which will return real divi-
dends in better understanding. Our occupa-
ton authorities sent word back long ago
that American books were the best of all
instruments needed in drawing youth away
from totalitarian though on which the last
war was launched, waged and lost.
Books were one of the practical means
the Nazis used to warp the minds of their
youngsters into the brutal state necessary
to conduct total war. As an example, in
1885 mathematics texts in German grade
schools contained problems such as re-
gas needed to kill inhabitants of large cities.
Reporting on this recently, Florida Supreme
Court Justice H. L. Sebring, who recently
returned from hearing German war crime
trials at Nuremberg, quoted other examples
of the barbaric spirit thrust upon innocent
minds through school books.
AS examples:
"The construction of an insane asylum
requires six million reichmarks. How many
settlement houses at $4,000 reiehmarks each
could be built for that sum? An insane per-
son costs four reichmarks daily, a crippled
minal three and a half reichmarks. How
many marriage loans could be paid from
this money!"
After teaching the children insane persons
were too costly to live-and that is what a
propaganderized problem like that does-it
wasn't a difficult matter to hustle the I'M
fortunate off to death chambers without
fear OF an aroused public opinion seriously
opposing this mass murder.
The United States is gravely concerned
over feeding Europe's children, Of helping
make their homelands again support them
and their elders. But there is a serious in
difference to the welfare of these peoples
minds. Shouldn't greater effort be made to
provide mental antidotes for those which
nave been poisoned? And wouldn't the
youngsters admiration of our progressive
ness and wealth, as gained from our books,
be inspiration for greater determination
to better their standard of living? We think
so.
The benefits of making these books avail
able are so great that their proposed collec-
ton on a statewide basis deserves full sup
port of all conscientious Americans who
know intellectual aid is just as important
as material assistance in European recon-
structiOn.

The Gallup Poll
Most Voters Believe Democrats Can
Handle Government Better Than COP
By GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute OF
Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. q.
The Republican party faces an
uphill climb in the next eleven
months to convince wage earn
ers, farmers and white collar
workers that it can run the Fed
eral government better than the
Democratic party.
As the Administration pro
gram is being placed before the
special congressional session,
the weight of voter opinion is
that Democrats can best handle
both foreign and domestic af-
fairs.
Percentage-wise the prefer
ence is not large and one fifth
of voters see no difference at
all between the abilities of the
two major parties. However,, all
occupational groups except pro-
fessional and business people
give the edge to the Democrats.
In other. words, COP strate-
gists, looking for large nu1meri-
cal support, today find the big
gest population groups voting
against them. Among manual
workers, the largest group of all,
the vote is better than three-to-
two.
A national cross = section of
thousands of voters was asked
this question by Institute inter-
viewers:
GAS you feel today, which
political party the Democratic
or the Republican-can hand ! e

Would Correct Mistake

A series of articles on the life and times
of Mr.. Cameron Morrison, former governor
of North Carolina, has been appearing dur
ing the past few days in The Charlotte
News.
Written by highly competent Mr.. Burke
Davis, the stories seem to have reached their
climax Friday afternoon with a concise
wide Improvements effected during Mr..
Morrison's administration. These better
ments ranged from a $65, 600, 900 better roads
program to the launching Of a greatlyfex-
banded plan for public health.
But one failure was recorded.
"He pioneered" Mr.. Davis wrote, "in the
fight for lower freight rates in the South,
with his program to improve N. C. ports and
waterWays-the only major item he did not
get through"
But if Mr.. Morrison's good health con-
tinues for a reasonable time, there's strong
likelihood that he will see his old dream
OF modern state ports realized. Others who
have followed believe as strongly as he that
v VI VI CdIlIlOL NC d IQly great StdLc
until all it's water transportation facilities
are developed to a condition comparable to
those of other coastal commonwealth.
The revival of the ports movement ac-
tually began on March 81, 1945, the day the
North Carolina State Ports authority bill
was ratified.
Two years passed by before the agency
had one State-appropriated cent on which
to operate. But during this time it received
a grant of 100000 from the Federal Works
Agency for a comprehensive survey of North
Cardinals potential water-borne commerce.
Coupled with this is a study to determine
terminal and other Improvements necessary
to accommodate this traffic. Next big step
was the beginning of efforts to acquire use
Of the now-idle Wilmington shipyard for
conversion into deep-water faci-
lities. Friday, J. Melville Broughton, gen.
eral counse for the authority, was in Wash
ington arranging a conference with the
Maritime commission relative to leasing
a large area of the yard. During the last
session of the legislature, the first appro-
priation was made available to the authori-
ty. With this assistance, it is able to estab-
hsh offices here and appoint Col. George w.
Gillette, outstanding Army engineer who
is retiring next month, as Executive Direc-
tor.
Thus, the foundation has been laid for a
broad ports program whose benefits in rate
savings, employment and attraction of new
industry to the predominately agricultural
east will mean additional millions of dollars
to North Carolinians in years ahead.
The torch MIR. Morrison lifted, out was
unable to develop into a great blaze neces-
sary to light the way to a material state
