MARINES TRAIN IN USE OF BARRAGE BALLOONS
Efficiency of the barrage balloon in keeping Nazi planes high over London, thus lessening the bombers’ accuracy, has
resulted in the U. S. adopting the balloons as part of its war equipment. At the new training center at Parris Island,
S. C., the West Point of the Marines, the leathernecks learn technique in handling the big bags. Top, left, Marines
work inside the balloon. Bottom, left, a ground crew fills the big sausage with helium gas. Right, the balloon is “put

Pvt. Roy Lambert Wins Davis Essay
Contest; Work Rejects Foreign ‘Isms’
- *
Pvt. Hoy E. Lambert, Battery
D, 93rd C. A., has been selected as
the winner of the first prize in the
Camp Davis essay contest, it was
announced by the Wilmington com
mittee of judges Wednesday.
Pvt. Lambert’s dissertation was
entitled, “Quo Vadimus,” and he
appealed, through his essay, for
Americans to stand firm in the
tight against foreign doctrines of
government. /
As the prize winning essayist,
Lambert will receive an expense
paid furlough to Washington, D. C.
He will be accompanied to the
capital by the winner of the camp
oratorical contest, who is to be
chosen Friday. The essay and ora
torical contests have attracted
widespread interest on the post.
Second place in the essay con
test went to Cpl. A. W. Washing
ton, Battery M, 99th C. A., for his
discussion of the subject “Why We
Are in the Army.” Eugene A. Alex
ander, Battery E, 95th C. A., was
awarded third place with his essay
on “We Are the Keepers of De
mocracy.” Nine essayists were
given honorable mention.
Judges of the essays were H.
M. Roland, superintendent of New
Hanover county schools; Mrs.
George LeGrand, Miss Louise
Tapp, and Miss Francis F. Duval.
Quoting from Mein Kampf, Es
sayist Lambert listed the following
objectives of Hitler’s program: (1)
Germany, as the acknowledged
first power of Europe, will dictate
the new order, as envisioned by
her rulers, in conjunction with the
heads of the Axis partner, Italy.
(2) The pure Awyan race will reign
as the chosen beings on a conti
nent of successively inferior sects.
i3) The welfare of the individual
will be subordinated to the inter
ests of the state. (4) Religion will
become a nonentity.
Freely translated, Lambert’s es
say topic is “Where do we go from
here?” In his conclusion, he says:
~ “This, then, is the German con
cept of government. Ours, of
course, is the antithesis of it.
Which is the better way, in this
work of constantly shifting values?
How to judge? The answer, we
believe, lies in the word ‘shifting.’
Men, conditions, governments
change. The basis principles of
human conduct have remained in
tact through the ages. It is not
therefore a question of determin
ing how applicable the Christian
code of conduct is to any prevail
ing political system, but of decid
ing whether that system is fit to
survive the truisms which civiliza
ion has accepted as the final stan
dard, the ultimate perfection
against which every human effort
must finally be weighed.
“The principles of American de
mocracy have been put to the test
and have not been found wanting.
For a hundred and fifty .years, the
written expression of our forefa
thers’ convictions has withstood
every change in time, tempo, and
human relationship, to shine forth
as the guiding light of civilization;
as a constant reminder that in a
universe of turmoil, faith and hope
may yet accomplish wonderous
things. Civil war and foreign up
heaval, internal friction and strife,
depressions and recessions have
come and gone, but the eternal
verities for which the first Con
tinntal Congress convened, sur
vive.
“The German creed on the other
hand assails every right, every
privilege which Christianity holds
dear. Freedoms for which men
fought and suffered are denied to
the masses. The gospel of Jesus
Christ and the brotherhood of man
are rejected as doctrines incom
patible with the Nazi platform.
Selfishness and charity are de
spised as indications of weakness.
Bids To Be Called Soon
On Four WHA Projects
-- *
Plans for administration, main
tenance and recreation buildings,
to be constructed on the four de
fense housing projects here, now
are being drawn up and a call for
bids will be issued this week by
the Housing Authority of Wilming
ton, H. R. Emory, executive direc
tor, revealed Thursday.
Architect William Henly Dietrich
of Raleigh, in cooperation with the
local firm of Lynch and Foard, is
engaged in drawing up the plans
and Mr. Emroy said they probably
would be finished this week.
The largest of the four buildings
will be erected on the east side of
Greenfield Terrace, south of
Greenfield street, and will contain
the administrative offices of the
housing authority, administrative
offices of the Greenfield Terrace
Man’s inhumanity to man has
reached unprecedented depths.
Lambert condemns the creed of
Hitler as "the force of evil,” and
predicts “This too shall pass
away.’
On the other hand, the essayist
states it is not enough to acknowl
edge the infamies of Fascism as
injustices.
"Rather, by reason of our knowl
edge, it is our duty to indict Hit
lerism for the misery and hatred
which it has fostered; it is our
duty to make such indiements
clearly and unhesitantly; and fin
ally it is our duty to announce to a
waiting world our irrevocable op
position to Fascism and that for
which it stands."
Honorable mention in the essay
contest went to Cpl. Wilmer V.

and Lake Forest housing proiects

Mr. Emory said but he could give
