II jfp COMMANDER OF LOCAL COAST GUARD CORPS Wi ; % MAYBE MADE MAJOR l Organization of Similar va : Outfit at Greensboro Batat i / lion is Formed &#’ '■ ■ ; - - - f ' 1 With the formation of a ooast artil K ’: 4ery company in .Greensboro several Si* .;4 .days ..go, it is thought here that in all III f; Wy'Jl; i • II tea v!'« i & : W a r probability that Capt. R. F. McClelland, commanding officer of the Wilmington Ldght Infantry, through his seniority rating in the coast artillery company, will be appointed major of the batta lion that is automatically formed with the organization of the Greensboro company.'. Capt. McClelland has not yet re ceived his appointment sis a major but there is but little doubt that he will ;be named, to head .the. .coast artiller; outfit of the state guard troops. I; Two other officers will necessaril be named with the forming of the bat tallon and it is thought likely tha both of these will come from the Wil mington Light Infantry organization. Besides a major a battalion must have an adjutant with the rank of first-lieu tenant and a supply oficer ranking as second lieutenant. A headquarters de tachment composed almost wholly of non-commissioned officers must also be formed and in all 'likelihood the personnel of that detachment will be made up of Wijmington men. t, The question of a successor to Capt. ^LCClelland of the local militia unit, in the event that.he is appointed major, ipame up at the regular meeting of the £orp last Thursday night and at that time a committee was appointed to Suggest one who would be qualified to Command the organization. S The committee had held several ^meetings since Thursday night and 'will at the regular drill, meeting Tues day report back to the company. ^ ‘‘Human Hearts” is r I Offering at Academy ; , 1 “Human Hearts’’ will be the attrac lj!/j tion offered by the Pickert Stock com pany at the Academy. beginning today .and running three days.

Hl-Y CLUB MAKES RECORD FOR WORK DONE IN THE SOUTH Local Club is Setting Pace That / Other Organizations Finding Hard to Better ’ The Wilmington Hi-Y club which is | an organization of high school boys hav.ing as their motto “To create, main- j tain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of j Christian character,” has thus far this ■ year carried out the biggest program j of any other Hi-Y club in this state or in the entire south. Everything that has been attempted has been a success. Hundreds of un der-classmen in school have been reach ed sand helped by the four weeks of Bible classes held in 10 homes in the various parts of the city. -These classes were taught by Hi-Y members and al ready results can be seen from these meetings. Several other big under takings have been attempted and the result has always been the same; suc cess. The members are becomihg so en thused over their work that every week an article is to be written and published so that the entire city may get an idea of what real value the Hi-Y club is to boys of New Hanover high school and to the public at large. At the meeting last week the fol lowing motions vzere made and carried; That the Hi-Y club thank W. H. S. girls reserve club for their social last Friday afternoon and also voted to have the girls club their guests in the near fu ture. Another was to have published every week an article written by some Hi-Y club member, dealing with the business of the preceeding meeting. Casts for the annual minstrel show were also announced, and practice for, this will start soon. This minstrel show is held every year in order that some of the expenses incurred during the year may be met. Next week, as already stated, another article on Wilmington's Hi-Y club will be published and it is hoped that every one will get a clearer and better idea of what the Hi-Y club is doing. Waterways Convention . Be Held In November - Mayor James H. Cowan, vice-presi dent of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways association was notified yesterday by J. Hampton Moore, mayor of Philadel phia and president of the Atlantic Deep er Waterways association that the 1924 meeting which the Portland, Maine convention last fall decided should be held in Norfolk will be held from No vember 13th to November 15th inclu sive. Unusually the meeting is called for a little earlier in the year but due to the fact that the convention this yea,r comes to a southern city it was deem ed advisable Jo hold the meeting later* in the year. Mayor Cowan plans to attend the meeting in Norfolk and will doubtless take a prominent rflrt in the doings of the assemblage, having been a lead ing figure in the activities of the asso ciation for the past several years. “Music Hath Charms” Sweet Musice and Bright, Home-like Surroundings Make This “THE HOME OF DELICIOUS FOODS” Ah Ideal Place for Friends to Meet YWCA.

Under the act as passed by the gen eral assembly the governor must make the appointments to the new board and it is felt by many that prac tically every man now serving on the board will be reappointed by Governor Morrison, although up until yesterday the governor had not expressed him self publicly on thS matter. Wilmington at present has but one member on the board, E. H. Freeman being that representative, but with the ' increase in personnel of the board it is ' hoped that three or more members will be appointed from this section. I The bill making an appropriation for I the upbuilding of the fish and shell fish industry in the state has also I passed this session of the general as- , sembly and it is hoped that the com- ! mission that will have charge of the , expenditure# of the funds will .see to it, that Wilmington and the vicinity here abouts secures the rightful amount of the funds.
