Japan Eats SparrOUs;
Insects Peril Crops

TOKYO - (4) - Because the
Japanese "have been using even
.sparrows for food" a shortage of
birds which normally destroy the
hungry nation with further food
scarcity, says CrOsbie Morrison,
Australian bilOgist.
81 would be inclined to believe
that one of Japan's early problems
will be the ravages of insects in
food crops" Morrison declared al
ter a five-week tour through south
ern HOnshu.
Insecticides may help. he said
that is if they don't kill off the in
sects available to pollinate plants. -"

BELTON, Mont. --(P)- 1t wasn't
so bad when a big. black bear
climbed into Art Anderson's empty
automobile while Anderson was
helping clear snow from Il Glacier
National Park highway.
The trouble started when the
animal slammed the door and then
tried to get out. The door catch
from the inside was too much for
the bruin so he literally tore his
way out, destroying the uphOlestry

sCreeping' High Wire
Challenges Aerialists

NEW YORK-(P)--A new and
more dangerous high wire for cir
Gus arcobats is swinging oval
track that tilts and rises 40 feet
above the usual tight-rope levels,
according to its inventor, A. A.
Ostrander, well-known theatrical
designer.
The apparatus is shaped like a
mammoth tennis racket with a
weight at the handle" AS the
performers move on narrow
outer rim it changes position and
can be made to rise vertically
high above the ring.
A troupe of aerialists has gone
into training for the big top debut
of the new device. Ostrander says.

the point which Winston Churchill has
been arguing with great force in his
opposition speeches. Well-meaning men
set the stage-and the dictators fol-
low.
The Labor government has created
the super-state in the name Of British
economic rehabilitation. But all the
evidence Of history proves that socialism
is essentially non-productive. It de-
stroys initiative, by refusing owners and

The Gordon Recital

y Announcement that Norman Gordon
lis to give a recital in Wilmington on
september 10 is received with especial
pleasure in music circles. It ought also
to bring equal pleasure to friends of the
South Eastern North Carolina Beach
Association as the entire proceeds are
to go toward defraying the expenses
Of the association.
Mr.. Gordon has sung with the
Metropolitan Opera Company and is
now among the most popular of Broad
ways musical comedy stars. His audi
ence, which should overflow whatever
hall is secured for the event, is assured
an evening Of unexcelled musical enter
tainment.
An additional reason for gratifica-
ton over his engagement is the fact
that the Junior Chamber of Commerce
is the sponsor. This group of young
business men thus offers one more il
~lustration of their willingness to pro-
mote worthwhile undertakings which
promise definite benefit to the COM
munity.

Britain's Plight

Unpleasant as the fact may be to
Americans schooled in the British tradl-
ton OF liberty, the Labor government
is following the pattern of dictatorship
in every particular.
That pattern has become as fixed a.
a proposition in Euclid. It begins with
an enormous extension of bureaucracy
which exerts complete control over al
industry, and binds the country fast in
a maze of red tape. Private capital is
destroyed through taxation and exnro-
priation. The basic industries are then
nationalized, on the grounds that free
enterprise is no longer capable of meet
ing the needs of the nation. The rights
of labor are restricted, and men are
forced into employment which thew do
not desire. Finally, in the long run.
opposition is stifled and civil liberties
60 the way of economic liberties.
Mr.. Attlee and the other ministers
are not tyrants. But the Labor govern.
ment has established the machinery
which makes tyranny possible. That il

The staff is small, but if it were
fullstrength it would still be in
adequate: II doctors, including the
superintendent: IS graduate
nurses; 222 attendants: and stu
dents.
Low pay is probably the big rea-
son for the personnel shortage.
Graduate nurses get from $3.50 to
$3.50 a month. the highest salaries
going to those who fill supervisory
positions. Maids carr S78. and at.
tendants receive from $50 to $113
a month. All these wages are in
addition to maintenance. which in
cludes room. board and laundry.
Good living conditions help at
tract workers. The Nurses home
is fine, and pretty cottages are
provided many staff members who
have families. When quarters are
not furnished, an employe receives
an extra $40 a month to help pay
his rent.
The old buildings are well-kept.
The women's division is nice. hav-
ing been re-opened about a year
ago after extensive re modelling.
Over in the mems wing, which
has been almost untouched since
1926, the floors -~e bad. the plas.
ter is cracked, and it is impossible
to keep it sanitary. All the sleep
ing quarters are jammed.
Council and Kirby halls in the
Epileptic colony are neat. Floors
are scrubbed several times each
day, and even the cracks in the
floor are cleaned. Mrs. Marvin T..
Johnson, a graduate nurse, is in
charge. She has one graduate
working with her, Mrs. Sally
O'Neil, who is now on vacation.
Also on her staff are II attend
ants, eight on day duty and three
working at. night; two student
nurses; four cooks: one sewing
room supervisor who looks after
mending for three buildings.
Some patients are assigned
chores, which help keep their
minds Oft their troubles and add
to the cleanliness.
Mrs. Effie Parker is the head
nurse IN the mental division. She
has IS graduate nurses looking aft.

partment. including three on the
male side. Helping are Is students
