rfE MORNING STAB, WILMINGTON, N. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1918. SEVEN. YYiuL v v 11 j Liu m uijir, iiiKn fShipBuilders Arriving the Clty early yesterday fternoon. Governor Bickett, who 8 to Wilmington to deliver last ran18 lit that patriotic address whieh he " s been promising' the colored citl- a well as the white folks In , . . .1 : t i. -w-.t this . neck oi me wuuua emi;e juiy, greater part of the after- -nPTlt noon f111 a tour of insPection to Wil jngion's shipyards. At the Liberty vard the governor was greeted with enthusiastic applause by the employes, ,o whom he delivered an address, urg .n? that they continue to give their loyal support to Uncle Sam in carrying 0u't the nation's shipbuilding program, jle also urped that the shipbuilders fhould continue to invest their sav ings in war savings and thrift stamps in order to help the government shoul der its heavy war debt. Fronijthe Lib erty shipyard Governor Bickett went to the Carolina yard, where he was E30wn over the plant by President L. r Dilks and other officials of the com pany. The Liberty shipyard will commence today an intensive campaign in the in terest of united war work. J. F. Head, of the industrial division of the united war work organization, addressed the goremen of the Liberty yard at their meeting: yesterday afternoon, and. re jived from them a promise of their full co-operation in the drive. The campaign among the concrete ship iuiider? will be formally opened to iay at the noon hour. James H. Cow in, secretary of the chamber of com merce. Rogrer Moore, president of the fnamber, and State Director Zack Dun ap have been invited to speak to the workmen at the Liberty yard at that ine. and after the addresses the ship builders will be canvassed for sub scriptions to the fund. The Carolina shipyard has already subscribed 54, (00 to the united war work" drive, and Judging: by the enthusiasm of the con crete shipbuilders, they will do as well is the steel builders or go them one tetter. The following verses written "by an tmploye of the Fore River plant of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding corporation fittingly expresses the sentiment of the shipbuilders. The poem is entitled 'Ton Yohnson on th,e Job:" Sly name ban Yohn Yohnson, "And I drive the rivets true, Jm building ships to make the world More safe f'r me and you. I drive up 'round the foc'sle, I drive down 'round de keel, Ton bat dose rivets all ban tight When the pilot takes the wheel..

So, tell the boys that's waiting F'r the ships to lick that mob, "While you fight well, O'll work like hell," Yon Yohnson's on the Job. The keel for a 9,600 ton steel freight boat was laid at the Carolina yester day, making the fourth keel placed in position within the past 10 days. There were no ceremonies held In con 'nection with the laying . of the keel since the event has come to be a com mon occurrence there of late. There was no one present except employes of the company. Skilled workers have been arriving continuously since some time before the first keel was laid, but still the number engaged in the construction of ships at the Carolina is far from that which could be util ized to good advantage, and recruiting parties are continuously out on the scout for more men who are skilled in the art of building ships or who are first class machinists. The order of the shipping board relative to the strict observance of the eight hour law will become ef fective at both the Liberty and Caro lina yards today and the working hours at the Carolina will be 7:30 to 12:30 and 1:30 to 4:30. There will be no more for the extra time or Sunday work. But that does not mean that the work is going to be curtailed, but merely that since hostilities have ceased the shipping board has found it good policy to employ economic measures that could not be considered when submarines were sending down every ton of shipping possible. It begins to look like a permanent proposition at the Carolina.

Just" outside, the yard fence there is a small army of carpenters, brick ma sons and others just as busy as they can be building the 100-rdom hotel that is going to mean so much in the solution of the housing problem. The frame work for the first floor has been placed in position and the structure "going on 'up." The Victory Home company is letting no grass grow un der its feet. With the completion of 10 or 12 houses in the southern part of the city near the Liberty yard the company is now gradually moving its fortfes of builders to Sunset Park where some houses have already been built. Material is being placed on the ground as fast as it can be secured and- transported.! There are at res eat about seven 'or eight carloads of brick on the ground and much lumber. There are still rumors about .the gov ernment taking a hand and building a few houses for the shipyard workers, FLORA MACDONALD GIRLS CELE3RATED PEACE NEWS f -Red Springs, Nov. 13. Red Springs and Flora Macdonald college celebrat ed the coming of peace in a most en thusiastic manner and in a fashion which left no doubt of their joy in the fact that Germany had signed the terms of armistice. Early in the morning the church bells were rung and the whistles were blown, while flag decked cars were driven through the streets. The most colorful note, perhaps, was furnished by the college, when at 11:30 they marched down the street led by Dr. Vardell carrying a huge United 'States flag, A. F. Jones with the equally large Union Jack with the distinctive emblem of Canada, Miss Annie Burt Stainback with the tri-color of France, and Miss Eloise McGlll, bearing the lion of Scotland. Following the lead ers, came the drummers, horn blowers, tin pan beaters, bell ringers, and shouters .galore, with the gayest pos sible array of ' American and French flags, among hich was conspicuously displayed the pennant of the U. S. marines. After parading the main streets of the town, cheered to the echo by the delighted throngs of spec tators, the girls grouped themselves around Miss Mary Pat Livingston, who led in 15 'rahs for President Wilson, Marshal Foch, the army, the navy, the flag, Pershing, and all the boys. The crowd demanded a speech from Dr. Vardell, and he expressed the joy that was In the hearts of all, saying that the1 past Sunday had been the dawn of the greatest peace that had come to the world since the angels sang of the Peace whose companion is good will to men. He referred to the friendly juxtaposition of the French and English flags, the British and American standards, and the new and stronger ties between the United, States and Canada, cementing the peace of a hundred years between these two great North American coun tries, as an indication of the relations henceforth t'o'be entered into and maintained in the League of Nations in their respect for the rights of others, even to the smallest and weak est nation' of the earth. He also sounded two notes of warning, saying that at no time and In no place must we so far forget the magnificent fight ing and heroism and sacrifice of our allies as to ever claim that the United States has done it all in winning the war. The second serious consideration is In the fact that the real work of the war is just ahead of us, the work of reconstruction; for war is tile ac- Will Contiraie THURSDA Y : FRIDA Y : SA TURD A Y a Every careful shopper should visit this store during" the last three days of this big sale.

Rev. H. M. Dixon was also called to the speakers' stand and spoke Nvery briefly, saying that he was not in the humor for making a speech, because as a Presbyterian he was constitution ally opposed to shouting , and if he. al lowed himself to say much he was afraid he would- do the very thing he was opposed to. SCHOOL DAY IS TUESDAY AT SAMPSON COUNTY FAIR Superintendent Isley Urges All Scnoola to Take Part. (Special Star Correspondence.) Clinton, Nov. 13.

Isley of the, county schools has ad dressed the following to his school teachers: The third annual fair of Sampson county will begin at Clinton Tuesday, November 18.

I am authorized by Man ager Boyd to announce that on the first day, Tuesday, all Sampson teachers V and pupils that come s a school unit may enter . without cost. To entter without cost teachers are to lead their schools and vouch for the pupils. Schools that attend the fair may have holiday the first day. Tuesday is school day. Teachers are asked to have their schools bring a nice float. The committees will help arrange the wagons, trucks or cars for the pupils and the float. - The float should represent any In dustry characteristic of the commun ity bringing it. It certainly should have as many flags as possible repre senting as many nations as possible except the enemy nations. The float should show the amount of Liberty bonds bought, the number of boys gone into service, the amount of thrift stamps bought, Red Cross work in the community bringing it. The float should show something concerning the war as Red Cross work or agriculture, home economics ,etc. "A Bond Slacker is a Kaiser Backer." "Thrift, Conservation Patriotism." "Make, Save, Serve." "If Democracy Dies, Who Lives?" "If Democracy Lives, Who Dies?" Such as the above expressions would look good on the school penant or float. The schools are asked to me,et at the high school building here at 9:30 o'clock and form line for the parade there. The colored schools are to meet at the colored school house at same time. Schools will not walk In the parade. The plan for the parade will be given when the schools arrive at the school house. MARRIAGE OF MISS PRIDGEN AND MR. GILBERT SUNDAY NIGHT Richards, N.

Cured His RUPTURE I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an opera tion. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never re turned, "although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no loss of time, no trouble. I have nothing to eell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation if you write to me, Eugene M.
