MANY SOLDIERS VISIT HUT HERE Express Appreciation For Wil mington’s Efforts To Entertain Them The new Woodrow Wilson hut, the first of its type to be opened to service men in the nation, re ceived its first influx of hundreds of soldiers from Camp Davis over the week-end. All of the boys who dropped into the hut for a brief visit told Mrs. Carl A. Powers, hostess, they were appreciative of what the citizens of Wilmington were doing for them. In small groups the soldiers first stopped on the front porch, stood at the doors looking in, and practi cally all expressed amazement at the recreational facilities offered by the hut, dedicated formally on ly last Friday and located on the northwest corner of Fourth and and Princess strets. "There was not a rowdy boy in the bunch,” said Mrs. Powers, hostess at the hut, where no drink ing or gambling will be permitted All day Sunday soldiers f rom Camp Davis were making t h ei r first visits to the hut. Some were busy while there writing letters home. Others merely relaxed and rested. A large number of the soldiers enjoyed themselves listening to the radio or reading magazines a nd newspapers to be found about the building. It was unfortunate, Mrs. Powers said yesterday, that many of the sol diers stationed at Camp Davis ad not heard in advance about the recreation hut. Advance notices of the formal opening had not been posted on the bulletin boards at the camp. However, among the hundreds ot boys who did chance to discover the hut while roaming about town seemed pleased that the city-coun ty governments had not waited for federal government funds. Initial influx of soldiers over the week-end, Mrs. Powers pointed out, stressed the apparent need for the conscription of girls in Wil mington and vicinity for dancing partners for the soldiers during a series of week-end parties. Soldier t ys told the hostess "all of their buddies certainly would come, once they find 'hers the hut is located.” Some of the boys, noticing that the planting of grass and flowers was needed about the grounds, of fered to do the work themselves on a return trip, Mrs. Powers said. “The citizens of Wilmington are wonderful to do this for us," was typical of the statements made by visiting soldiers. Mrs. Powers said the soldiers expressed the desire to hold week end dances at the hut and "every thing possible along this line will be done as soon as practicable.” Citizens of Wilmington have re sponded very nicely, she said, to the first call for donations to in crease the recreational convenien ces at the hut, but further contribu tions are badly needed and will be welcomed. Among the contributions re ceived were listed by the hut hos tess as follows: piano, J. Holmes Davis, Sr.; two other pianos are expected; radio and electric clock, Ben Kingoff; books, magazines, golf sticks, St. James church; two leather chairs, Mrs. P. R. Al bright. Also desk supplies, O. H. Shoe maker; transfer services, Harry R. Gardner; Roudabushes, Miss Dorothy Owens, Wilmington Junior Chamber of Commerce, Jack Swart, Castle Haynes bulb club, and Mrs. Addison Hewlett, Sr., do nations of flowers. Also Henry Rehder, flags and flower stands; Mr. Roberts, a new comer to the city, assistance in ar ranging decorations; Mrs. Guy E. Pigford, cakes; pictures and poems, Mrs. Sadie June Matthews; a mounted dter head, loaned by James E. L. Wade; portrait of Woodrow Wilson, the Wilmington Furniture company. Mrs. Powers appealed f® t h e loan of musical instruments. Vio lins especially are needed, she said. Many of the boys over the week-end said they are writing let ters home for music. Citizens are asked to assist, Mrs. Powers said, by taking the sol diers out riding Sunday t-fternoons, or home for dinner. The Wilmington Museum of Art is cooperating by arranging exhi bitions from time to time. Dona tions of books, magazines, playing cards, games, such as ping uong sets, are particularly needed. Rugs are needed for the ladies parlor. Mrs. Powers said she wished to thank publicly Lieut. Eugene Lay Verdict Is Returned In Death of Carter Following an inquest conducted yesterday by Coroner Asa W. Allen, a jury decided that Jesse Carter, ne gro, was killed by John D. McLean, also colored, with a piece of iron in a fight. The altercation occurred on May 27, and Carter died in a hospital Sunday night. His skull was frac tured when McLean is said to have struck him on the back of the head with the pipe. It is understood that McLean will be held for superior court trial with out bond. NEGROES ARE HELD IN ASSAULT CASE Five Scheduled to be Tried In Superior Court For Attacking Lamb Five negroes, charged with as saulting Frank Lamb, white labor foreman at the shipyards of the North Carolina Shipbuilding com pany on May 22, were bound over to superior court yesterday under bonds ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 by Judge Alton A. Lennon of record er's court. The negroes and the amounts oi their bonds were: Willie Doe, $2,000; David Jordan. $1,500; Fred Smith, $1,500; Willie Penn Harrison, $1,500; and John Jordan, $1,000. It is charged that the negroes "ganged up” on Lamb, inflicting severe head injuries with a hammer. Hospital attendants said yesterday that Lamb’s condition is “very good.” He has been receiving treatment since the assault almost two weeks ago. It was stated that Lamb remon strated with a truck driver for a] leged carelessness, and was assailed by the five negroes, who now are in the New Hanover county jail. Judge Lennon also placed A. J. Gardner, white, under $100 bond, which he is understood to have fur nished, for allegedly drawing a pis tol on Mrs. Lillie Watts and Robert Watts, and striking the Watts man with a blackjack. A. B. Purvis, white, was found guilty of an assault on Mrs. Zella Koonce, and given the option ot paying a fine of $50 and costs or serving 60 days at the county farm. It was said that Koonce was unable to pay the fine and costs. Mrs. Koonce, who was in the courtroom for the trial, appeared tc have been badly beaten. Her face was a mass of lacerations and bruises, and both her eyes had been blackened. The assault oc curred on May 31. ‘Learn-to-Swim’ Class Is Started at Y. M. C. A. The first session of a "learn-to swim” class for members was held yesterday morning in the Y. M. C.

All members in whatever clUss or age group are urged to take ad vantage of this instruction. The class is usually discontinued about mid summer, because all members have been taught to swim by that time. Boys’ Mass Meeting Is Planned at Y. M. C. A. Plans are being made for a mass meeting of all members of the boy’s division at the Y.M.C.A., at 10 o’clock Friday morning, it was an nounced yesterday. Entertainment and program features will be offered by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Alexander, visit ing evangelists and musicians, who are assisting the Rev. Mr. Rosell in the meeting now being held at Thalian Hall. cock and the New Hanover High school KOTC unit, Mrs. Erio Nor den, and Mrs. O. O. Humphries, for their fine cooperation in t h e dedication exercises last Friday. Musical organizations of the community have offered their serv ices for the entertainment of the boys and the ho6tess expressed the hope the civic service clubs would cooperate by sponsoring events from time to time. 4 Frank Hill, Northwestern track coach, started his career as a mid dle distance runner for a Chicago club, with Knute Rockne as a 'eam mate. 1 WAR FILM SHOWN AT ROTARY MEET “Thumbs Up’ Is Exhibited At Weekly Session of The Wilmington Club Depicting in dramatic detail the debacle of Dunkerque and the death, destruction and devastation that have been visited upon Eng land, France and Belgium and other European nations, “Thumbs Up,” a motion picture distributed and shown through the British War Relief society was seen yesterday by members of the Rotary club at their regular meeting in the Cape Fear hotel. The picture, presented by the society as a “gesture of gratitude to the American people,” was shown last night and will be repeated to night at 8 o’clock at New Hanover High school. Admission will be free and the public is invited. The picture shows actual war scenes on land, on the sea, and in the air —Nazi dive bombers swoop ing down on ships, troops, cities, and defenseless civilians crouching in ditches; fleet British destroyers laying down smoke screens to pro tect precious cargoes in vessels; tanks and infantry advancing to battle; huge fighting airships en gaging in aerial combat; refugees fleeing in every conceivable kind of vehicle—all combine to make the picture one of grim realism. The picture also serves another purpose—its title indicates the un conquerable spirit of the British people. It portrays the activities of the Society in this country, and shows thousands of articles being contributed by Americans. Sound effects made the picture even more realistic. Lowell Thom as, radio commentator, was the narrator. It was announced that H. M.
