N. C. POSTMASTERS WILL GATHER HERE Plans Being Completed For Convention At Beach May 28 And 29 plans are underway for the an nual two-day state postmasters’ convention at Wrightsville "Beach’s Ocean Terrace hotel, May 28-29, according to Wilbur R. Dosher, Wilmington postmaster and ho$t for the meeting. "According to rumor the post masters’ convention will not be held at Wrightsville Beach, but it will be,” Mr. Dosher emphasized. • War or no war, we will hold the annual meeting there. There jj no indication that it will be un -ate at the coastal resort and cer tainly we should not bring the state's postmasters here if it were deemed so. ■Of course, there will be certain precautions taken, such as the dimmed-out lights already in ef fect at. Wrightsville. And, no doubt, the hotel will be sufficiently "dimmed” for the occasion. How ever. this will not work any hard ship upon those gathered there for the convention, but will rather lend a war-like atmosphere, which may be carried back to the cities and small towns by our postmasters and serve to demonstrate to the people i".i North Carolina that a war is going on. "Neither 1. nor the officers m charge of the meeting of the North Carolina chapter of the National Association of Postmasters feel there is any reason to call off the convention, even though General Drum has designated the North Carolina coast a military area. We have taken the precaution of checking with those officials near est to the war defense, and their answer has been a similar one. "The postmasters' convention will be held at Wrightsville Beach as previously scheduled. After all, none of the other three conventions already planned at local beaches has been cancelled. It is fitting that the postmasters should lead the way and prove to skeptical persons that there is no danger on our beaches.” The convention will be attended by representatives from the post otfice department in Washington, officers of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and members of the National Association of Postmas ters. A large representation of postoffice heads from all over North Carolina is expected. Mr. Dosher said. The postmasters’ part in the present emergency, particularly in reference to national defense and the necessity for efficient service under war-time demands, is ex pected to be stressed at the meet ing. 2 -V Pneumatic life rafts, carried in planes for emergency water land ings. contain 29 pounds of rubber. Probe Death Navy intelligence officers and F.B.I. agents have entered the in vestigation into the strange death of wealthy, beautiful Mrs. Kliza beth de Haven Towle Wood Kis kadden, once prominent California society woman. She was found un conscious in her room at a fash ionable hotel and died without re gaining consciousness. — Central Press.) DISASTER RELIEF WORK IS OUTLINED W. W.

It does not take over control, but out of its wide experience and wiih its great re sources, lends assistance,” he re marked. During the morning session in the Tide Water Power company build ing.

In his report on the work done by the Survey committee, Mr. Newman stated the workers have made a survey of the hazards which may happen in this locality.
