The State Department has a
special section devoted to placing
information on foreign affairs be-
fore the public. 1t maintains dis
tribution centers for educational
material in Boston, New York,
Chicago, New Orleans and San
Francisco, and provides speakers
to explain current policies and
provide background for under
standing issues.
1t should be pointed out that
the Administration can go only
so far in informing the public be-
fore it runs into the charge of
"propagandizing." However, the

The sooner City Manager j. r. Ben
son appoints an administrative assls-
tant, the quicker the benefits in munich
pal administration which will accrue
from such a position will be felt by the
citizens Of Wilmington.
In making provision for the job, the
majority of City council wisely e%valuat-
ed the acute need for a competent man
to relieve him of many of the time
consuming details of the office. This
would mean greater opportunity for
attention to more important matters
by the City Manager. In addition, the
assistant could serve we'll in. %coordinat-
ing the various functions of the munich
pal government.
The city's executive office is too
inadequately stated to meet, with
maximum efficiency, all the many de-
mands made upon it.
And there is ample precedent for ap-
pointment of an assistant. When MIR.
Benson became City Manager, there
was a young man with the title OF
Secretary Of the City Planning board
who served as his assistant, But he
left soon afterward to enter private
business. During the time this arrange
ment was maintained, there were no
complaints over cost because the service

ment is that all other counties IN
North Carolina have done this;
therefore, New Hanover should do
likewise. I submit that this is eX-
actly no reason at all. There can
be only one real reason for this
merger and that is to show that
such a merger will be of benefit
to those who have to apply for
assistance and that it will be more
efficient. This has not been shown
and so far no one has attempted
to show it. If other counties want
to use a certain system, that is
their prerogative but it does not
follow that it is a good rule. I
have been Superintendent Of Pub
lie Welfare for more than Is years
and during that time I have seen
many changes made; some good
and others admittedly bad. When
Old Age Assistance became avail
able, some counties thought the
millennium had come and said we
would not need our county homes
any more, and some of them clos
ed them but these same counties
are now having to ask other coun-
ties to board some of their people,
because they have no place to put
them, and when they cannot
board them in other counties, they
r forced to board them in pri-
vate homes and many of these are
not satisfactory. I was one of the
backward ones who believed our
Couty home would always be
necessary and I am still of that
pinion. About IA years ago, Mrs.
Bost, then State Commissioner of
Welfare, asked me why we still
kept u Associated Charities
when other counties were doing
away with theirs. I told Mrs. Bost
that in our county u people felt
that it was a privilege and a part
OF their religion to help those less
fortunate than themselves and
that this meant several thousand
ooHdrs available for direct assist
ance, which would not be avail
able If direct assistance were
handled by the Welfare depart
ment, because people, as a rule,
did not make contributions to tax
supported agencies. I told Mrs.
Bost I believed we were doing a
better job than some of those
counties where direct assistance
was administered by the Welfare
department. I am still of that
opinion.

The Associated Charities

Back in the days of low grade
gasoline, when you could smell
cars farther than you could see
them, the story is told of a lady
who saw a group of boys playing
in the street. All were as busy
as could be and were making a
lot of noise, with the exception
of one little boy, who was sitting
on the curb and was perfectly
quite. The lady stopped and
watched the boys for some time
and then asked the boy on the
curb what they were playing. He
told her they we're playing auto
mobile. He showed her four boys
representing the wheels and two
who represented the engine, while
another was the steering wheel,
etc. She then asked him why he
didn't play with the other boys
and he said am playing"
''What part are you p~laying?" she
asked; to which the boy replied
81 am the smell"
In all of the discussion of the
Associated Charities by the Com
munity Chest and various individ-
uals, the conclusion was reached
that the Associated Charities
ought to be absorbed by the Wei
fare department but no n
bothered to contact the Welfare
department to get any informa-
ton as to how the public would
benefit by this change; therefore,
it would seem the Welfare depart
ment is like the boy on the curb
we r playing but no one knows
it.

PRINCETON, N. j., Aug.
23.-About one-fourth of the
nations voters want the gov
eminent to give out more
specific information concern
ing foreign policy.
Another one-fourth believe
the government is holding
back vital information, but
that there are probably good
reasons why Washington can
not give out more.
The remaining one-half of the
voters are either satisfied that
the government is telling enough
about International policy or have
no opinion.
A cross-section of voters was
asked in a coast-to-coast poll:
do you think our government
is giving the people all the impor-
tant facts about world conditions
today or do you think the govern
ment is holding back on a lot OF
important information which the
people ought to have?"
The results show that 10 per
cent think the government is Civ
ing out enough while SO per cent
think it is holding back, and %
per cent have no opinion.
Voters who said that the gov
eminent is holding back informa-
ton we're then asked: 1T there
anything in particular on which
you would like to have more in
formation?"
Only 26 per cent, or less than
half, mentioned anything specific.

LongfelloW,

on the committee says it's membership
comes "from all sections of the
state. >"
That statement is questionable.
Why?
Because of the 70 persons named,
only one-Dr. R. M. Olive, Of Fayette-
ville-is from the ten-county area
usually considered and labeled as South
eastern North Carolina. Thus, a tenth
of the state, from the standpoint of
the number of counties, has but one
representative on this body, expected
to become quite an important n in
the highly worthwhile good health
movement. Maybe more Southeastern
Tar Heels were offered appointment
but refused. Nevertheless, that should
not discourage efforts for better rep
resentation. There is a sufficiency of
competent membership material among
those vitality interested in better health
opportunities for the masses.
The defense of this slight may be
that the region is not as populous as
others of similar area in the Piedmont
or other parts of North Carolina. Yet
it's medical care problems are as great,
if not greater, than any other section.
No ho1ioro Thu TON oo11pfioo hoI,a fo1ror
we'll maintained hospital beds than any
corresponding number of political sub
divisions grouped together elsewhere
within the boundaries of the state. Yet,
if the composition of the advisory COM
mittee is an Indicator, Southeastern
North Carolina cannot expect any ex-
traordinary attention from the associa-
ton. And the organization should
realize that public support from the
various sections is in direct ratio to
it's interest in them.
1t is interesting to note the COM
parison in representation among the
larger cities.
Wilmington was ignored entirely. So
was Asheville. Raleigh, however, is rep
resented by % members; Charlotte by
eight, the same number for Durham
and six for Chapel Hill. From this and
other considerations of the committees
lineup, it appears that the association
is mainly a central North Carolina one.
If the leaders want it that way, that's
their business. But there is no doubt
that there should be a more equitable
distribution of the committees men,
bership if they are anxious for the
group to be truly statewide.
Promotion Of good health should be
the concern of every North Carolinian.
But. it will be hard for it to be that
way when a large section like the
Southeast is disregarded as it has been
in the appointment of this important
committee.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-08-24
Raising The Standards

Because most problems in the Will
mington Police department have been
traceable to personnel, Forthcoming
recommendations by the Civil Service
commission on standards for applicants
may be looked upon as another step to-
ward assuring a better force in the
future.
The commission, we are informed,
is completing the proposals and should
place them before City council within
the next few weeks.
Some of the necessary qualifications,
such as age limits, local residence and
evidence of good character, are laid
down in the Civil service law. But
equally important are the additional,
new requirements expected to be re-
quested by the commission. First
among them is better educational back
ground. The commission is expected to
ask that at least three years of High
school be necessary for appointment to
the force. Some may believe that a
High school diploma should be re-
quired. But study of the local situation
has disclosed that this would be unfair
to those potential candidates who enter
ed the armed services after completion
of their Junior year in High school
and have not resumed and completed
their studies. At the present, there
are no educational requirements other
than the applicant be intelligent and
able to read and write in a satisfactory
manner.
Another demand of the commission
will be that the applicant have a good
credit rating. The prestige of munich
pal employees as a whole suffers some
times when one is tardy in meeting his
financial obligations. Because the Of
ficer is considered a representative of
good order, as we'll as the law, the pub
lie expects him to meet his promises
promptly. It is an old rule in personnel
management that the person who takes
his credit standing lightly is liable to
have a similar attitude toward the re-
sponsibilities of his job.
Because these and other recommen-
dations expected from the commission
are directly designed to provide better
men, they demand favorable action by
council.
The requirements planned are not
as stringent as those of the State High
way patrol. In comparison, that law
enforcement organization demands a
High school education or the equivalent
and five years residence in the state.
Yet, the starting pay for a Whining
ton policeman and a highway patrol
man is the same, SITS a month.
In improving standards of entrance,
the commission should also see that
investigation of the applicants past is
as thorough as possible. Greater con-
sideration Of his recommendations is
also in order. A laudatory letter isn't
hard to obtain but too often it. has
little real meaning. 1t is the RESPONSE
bility of the commission to see that
endorsements are sound and based on
fact, not just someone's opinion of an
other.
Under the law, the commission mas
an important role in determining the
quality of the men entering the DEPART
ment. How it does it will decide, to a
large degree, the future efficiency of
the force. Obviously, in seeking to
raise the standards of admission, the
members of the civil service board are
aware of this responsibility and are
making sincere effort to fulfill it prop
erly.
