convinced of the seriousness of the

ever, that he would join Mr.. Brown

Speaking before throngs Of peo-

said that the average price for tbs
Eastern North Carolina crop in
1916 was 52.5 cents per pound.
He said "the estimate of this

mated that Great Britain's pur-

Jimmy could slug it out. He
was an underprivileged child-a
glib term that we toss off lightly
when we want to make ~generaliza-
tions about kids who have never
had a chance. It's easy to &C.
knowledge the fact that there are
such children, but it takes patti
erce, tolerance and understanding
to help them. Too many good
folks think it can be done with
a bag of candy and a repainted
broken down toy at Christmas.
In Jimmy's case, the under
priviledged world opened for him
at birth. He was born in a base
ment and he has never lived
above the sidewalk. His father de-
serted the family wnen Jimmy
was three and his mother attempt
ed to keep two frail bodies and
two stalwart souls together. 1t
was hard going and she faltered
many times. Jimmy learned
about life on the sidewalks and in
the streets. He quickly came to
believe that hands were only for
slugging the kid who had some
thing he wanted.
On his first trip to one of Will
mington's Red Feather neighbor-
hood centers, Jimmy decided that
he did not like the looks of some
other children who were entering
the yard. With the aid of a brok-
en- limb he dispersed the group
forthwith. A play group was all
right but he readily tired of the
game assigned to him-the kid
at the next table had a better
one. With a fist that was small
but hard, he punched him in the
ear thereby causing an uproar
which enabled him to grab his
toys.
How did they help him? 1t was
a slow process and it's a long
story. Clean clothing was the
first step. An occasional lecture
was part of it. A few talks with
the mother helped some. But most
important was the opportunity to
associate with other children I'M
der the leadership of a person who
had the respect of all.
Jimmy probably won't become
a juvenile delinquent.

BARNES, BOYD
PLAN TO CONFER
Placing OF Wilmington On
Air Route To Be
Discussed

A conference between Horace
Barnes, Lumberton owner of the
Seaboard Transport airline, and
Henry E. Boyd, ST., industrial
traffic manager of the Whining
ton Port Traffic association, may
be held next week.
Boyd said last night he was con-
tinuing his efforts to link Whining
ton with Atlanta and Norfolk and
that he had appealed to Barnes
to include Wilmington on the route
Seaboard applied for from Civil
Aeronautics Board examiners. The
route lies from Norfolk to Atlanta,
through Lumberton. 1t by-passes
Wilmington.
A letter from Barnes last night
indicated approval of the Whining
ton appeal, Boyd said. He added
that Barnes would probably be in
Wilmington next week, and that he
expected to meet with the airline
owner on the proposition.

"Since States petition has been
tossed out in Washington" Boyd
said, IT think they'll go ahead and

years"
The possibility of the service
being held up again was cited by
Boyd. He said another State in
junction against CAB, if the board
certificates Piedmont, might add
to the delay.

|YMCA RELIGIOUS
PROGRAMS BEST
Athletic Director Saws
Sports Not Only I'm
portant Program
BY ADAM SMITH
YMCA Athletic Director

Difficult as it may be to measure
the extent to which the Whining
ton YMCA program is contributing
toward this worthy end, neverthe-
less a serious effort is being made
10 understand the religious point
OF view the Y is developing.
Experience has demonstrated
that a religious point of view de-
velops most naturally under GER
tain conditions. n
Some of these conditions which
YMCA leaders are trying to pro-
vide are:
THAT members be exposed to
the leadership of contagious Chris
tan personalities.
2-That all persons be treated
as brothers.
3-That strcng ties of unselfish
friendship be forced through
sharing in significant experiences
to gether.
4-That members be encouraged
to think clearly about what is in
volved in the good life
5-That the desire and ability
to help make the world a better
place in which to live be develop
ed.
6-That programs be provided to
afford rich opportunities for the
practice of consideration for and
the service of others.
THAT experience be provided
which creates the personal aware
ness of God.
Not since Spartan days has
health consciousness been as pre-
valent as it is at present, and the
pride, self confidence, vigor Of
mind, and body which results from
regular physical exercise is ap-
praciated by every active partici-
pant in the YMCA physical edu-
cation department programs.
Approximately IS per cent of the
total membership avails itself to
the facilities and instruction pro-
vlded by the YMCA to further bet
ter health and recreation.
Here boys and young men learn
cooperation. self-control the spirit
OF fair play and develop sound
physiques through the associations
wide range of physical activity.
Leaders groups, councils, ath-
letic teams, committees, and spec
lal class instructors offer broad
fields of effort to the health-mind-
ed and encouragement is given
to have new leaders take up the
cause.
The beauty of the YMCA physi-
cal education work is it's variety.
Part of it (mass games. gym
classes, calisthenics) is formal.
Much of it, however is informal,
with small optional groups in
which the school lad of tired bust
nessman forgets his fatigue and
joins happily in after hours of bas-
ketball, handball, swimming, APP.
paratus work, wrestling, and other
forms of bodybuilding sport.
Valuable work is also being pro-
grained by the health services
which include correct posture
studies through a doctors pre-
scrlption, and massage work.

TRACY AND HEPBURN TEAM
IN THE SEA OF GRASS"

Sunday and Monday, October 1913,
as one of the years most distin-
guished dramatic hits
Based on Conrad Ritcher's widely
read novel of the great land rush
into New Mexico at the turn of the
century, the story centers on Col.
Jim Brewton, pioneer cattle baron
who has given his life'S blood to
open up the cattle country and who
is determined to keep out the on
surging homesteaders who will de-
stroy his beloved sea of grass" His
implacable enemy is Brice Chamber
lain, altruistic lawyer who repre-
sents the claims of the home seek
erS.
Spencer Tracy, in his first screen
appearance in almost two years,
makes welcome return as Col.
Brewton 1t is a role eminently
suited to the dynamic qualities of
this great star and he gives it every
thing he's got. Katharine Hepburn
is tremendously appealing as the
wife who finds the sea of grass
her most dangerous rival; Robert
Walker is excellent as the gambling
Brock, and Melvyn Dougles COM
pletes the cast of stars with a per-
suasive portrayal of the embattled
