The Boys Are Not Going To Play Japs At Football ATHENS, Ga., May 29.— UP) — “We’re not going to play the Japs at football.” The man summing up the Navy’s case was Lieut. Commander B. L Boynton, lean and saddle-tanned athletic director for the Naval pre flight school here—and he dashed a tidy pail of cold water on the nation that air cadets will be pret ty hot potatoes on the gridiron next fall. The Navy’s four pre - flight schools are going to be no football paradises, says Lieut. Commander Boynton. It would be easier to coach a varsity team at Broadway and 42nd street, Manhattan. ‘We’re not after making varsity athletes,” he explains, severely. “We’re taking these boys and mak ing aviation cadets out of them. CLASS GRADUATED AT CAP DAVIS History Of AA Artillery Is Delivered By General Spiller The largest class yet to receive commissions from the Antiaircraft Officer Candidate school at Camp Davis was graduated Friday morn ing with ceremonies which includ ed a history of AA artillery de livered by Brig. Gen. O. L. Spiller. The number oi new officers ap pointed totaled 170. They formed the eighth class to graduate since the school was started at Ft. Mon roe. General Spiller, commander of the AA school, paid tribute to the new army, which he termed a true citizens’ army, “a cross-section of all walks of life”. These men ex pect to be advanced through merit hence the creation of the officer candidate schools. At present, according to the gen eral, the OCS has in certain of its classes more would - be officers than the number of officers and men in the entire antiaircraft ar tillery of the U. S. Army in 1920. AA artillery is a newer branch of the armed forces than any but an ti-tank units and certain of the armored forces. Chaplain Joseph P. Scherer, OCS chaplain, made the invocation. Chaplain John F. Herion delivered the benediction. 5 -V Dim-Out Inspection Here Is Postponed By Federal Officers An inspection to determine dim cut necessities for New Hanover county has been delayed as the of ficials to make the test have not arrived, County Defense Corps Commander C. David Jones said Friday. Assistant State Civilian Defense Director W. E. Nufer of Goldsboro and Col. France were to have been here Wednesday to determine what steps would be necessary for Wilmington and the county to comply with the Army’s recent dim-out order. They have not made the test, however. "Until the coast of New Hanover county has been Inspected from the ocean to determine if an ob jectionable loom is cast and where the loom is originating, naturally we can’t take any steps to cor rect it,” Mr. Jones said. Mayor Hargrove Bellamy said earlier this week that until an in spection was made by Army au thorities, no steps would be taken to comply with the comprehensive regulations laid down in Gen. Bry den’s order. MONEY TO LOAN ON ANYTHING OF VALUE No Loan Too Large—None Too 8raaD Cape Fear Loan Office LUGGAGE HEADQUARTERS 12 S. Front St. Dial 218M VOTE FOR CLAYTON C. HOLMES For House Of Representatives CABAPLE. FEARLESS vDEPENDABLE HE ADVOCATES: ■f 1. No increase of State Taxes on any one, but a reduction, if possible, to aid our War Effort. 2. L o w e r residential lighting rates for our City and County. 3. That the Port of Wil mington and New Hanover County’s Beaches be recognized by the State as Great State Assets. 4. Open Forum Meetings of our Citizens to dis cuss legislative Bills affecting them. THE AMERICAN RIGHT TO VOTE is still your privilege. Exercise this right at the Polls Saturday. r We’ll teach ’em ten sports, includ ing football, while they’re here— and not a sport in the program is there for sport’s sake.” The Athens pre - flight school— like three others elsewhere—will process 7,500 students a year. They’ll come and go at the rate of nearly 300 every fortnight, starling or ending 90-day courses. ‘‘Boys who think they’re good enough to try for the varsity will report for football. We’ll start probably with 90 men and cut the squad to 30 The rest will join inter-squadron teams. They’ll get 1 1-2 hours a day at practice—no more—just like the inter-squadron teams. If a boy completes his in struction here in the middle of the season, he’ll move on whether he’s on the football varsity or on the swimming team. “As a matter of fact, we don’t expect to get many big-name stars who have played in college. A ma jority of the football stars now in school have signed up with the Marines or Naval reserves, or will be getting Army commissions. “Officers will be eligible for our varsity teams, and some of these may have recently played collegi ate or professional football. But I doubt that more than one or two will want to resume active partici pation. “Playing big-name colleges isn’t important. Many of these boys are going to have hand-to-hand com bat. What’s important is equipping them to come out of it alive to fight again.’’ ? 3 -V Wilmington May Get Portion Of Pending Defense Housing Funds Funds from President Roose velt’s proposed $600,000,000 war housing allotment will be used here if it becomes necessary to build the 1,105 units recently ap proved for Wilmington, Director Henry R. Emory of the city hous ing authority said Friday. Funds for the 800-unit shipyard worker project, scheduled to be erected on the Carolina beach road near the shipyards, have already been set aside, he poihted out Whether or not it will become necessary to erect any of t h e 1, 105 units in the housing “reserve,” tentatively planned as 530 homes for white workers and 575 homes for negro workers, will depend on future developments in the nous ing situation here, Mr. Emory commented. Bids on site improvements for the Carolina beach road project will be opened by the authority next Wednesday Contracts for the construction of the pre-fabricated, demountable homes in the project have already been let. Whether the War Production board's recent “freeze” order on lumber will affect the progress of the project, badly-needed to house shipyard workers being employed daily by the North Carolina Ship building company, has not yet been determined "I' assume naturally that t he lumber for the projects will be in cluded in the amount which the WPB will release for vital war 'projects,” Mr. Emory said. 4 -V H. L. Foy Speeding Case Is Continued Recorder J. Hardy Ferguson Friday granted a one-week contin uance in the speeding and reckless driving case of H. L. Foy, 104 North Tenth street. Foy was arrested after a three way automobile collision at the intersection of Eighth and Market streets Thursday afternoon. His case will come before recorder’s court on Thursday, June 4. Foy is free under $250 bond. According to arresting officers, the coach driven by Foy first struck an automobile operated by E. B. White of 212 South Ninth street, which was waiting to cross the intersection, skidded across Market street and struck a coupe belonging to Mrs. Louise Struth ers, which was parked 100 feet south of Market on Eighth street. Considerable damage was done to all three automobiles. White told the officers that he thought the sound of Foy’s ap proaching automobile was an air plane motor and had just put his head out of the window to look for the plane when his car was hit from behind. Foy, an employe of V. P. Loftis company, told officers that he was on the way to the hospital and exhibited a finger from which the nail had been torn. - —V Last year’s production rate of airplanes by America alone was more than five times the total war losses announced by England. 4 2 WEEKS OLD CHICKS Started Chicks— Two weeks old 12c each.

The people now are living main ly on herbs which are rapidly dry ing up under the hot summer sun, according to the report, which came from an American investiga tor who spent a week in the Smyrna region talking to refugees from the islands. Ten thousand islanders already have crossed the sea by devious means, eluding Turkish patrols. Half of them are in the Smyrna area, emaciated and yellow-skinned from malnutrition. (The British radio reported that “Turkey, though short of food it self, has decided to send over 600 tons of food, mostly raisins, dried figs and fish, to the islands. The first shipment will leave on Mon day). “Unless food is sent to the is lands soon,” the report said, “a tidal wave of Greeks may break upon the Turkish shores with the probability that the situation will be getting out of hand. Panic is spreading among the islanders as they see only death from starva tion before them and they will get across somehow.” Hundreds of persons, the report said, have been lost at sea in the passage to the mainland, and others have been fired on by the Turkish patrols. One refugee told the investigator a few unscrupulous Greeks were cooperating with the Germans in making money in the black mar ket, buying up at small prices the property which the departing is landers must sell to get passage money. -V Greenfield Lake Law To Become Effective Beginning Next Week The Greenfield lake ordinance, barring outboard and inboard mo tor boats from the city-owned lake and requiring the registration of all boats and canoes operating on the lake, will be put into effect early next week, City Manager James G. Wallace said yesterday morning. Before any boat Is registered, it will be inspected by the police de partment and, if found in a safe condition, a registration number will be granted which must be painted on the bows of the craft. Boats failing to meet safety re quirements will be removed from the lake either by the owner or by the city, City Manager Wallace said. There is no fee for the registra tion. The ordinance carries a fine of $20 for each violation upon con viction. Declared to be in the interest of public safety, the ordinance was adopted unanimously by the city council Wednesday. The city manager expressed the hope that removing motorboats and unseaworthy boats from the U: ;e would cut down on the toll of deaths by drowning in the lake. -V Moore Family Here Has Four In Navy Ralph Edward Moore, gunner’s mate second class, U. S. Navy, who is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Moore, Castle Hayne road, has three brothers in the Navy besides himself. There has been six out of ere seven Moore boys to serve in the Navy. Jack Moore, before enlist ment, was a member of the mo ‘orcycle traffic squad here. Clyde C. Moore, who was enlisted as chief electrician’s mate on Janu ary 5, 1939, lost his life in service at Pearl Harbor. Ralnh Moore enlisted as an ap prentice seaman in 1939 and since that time has been elevated to gunner’s mate second class on the Navy’s, warships. In a visit to the local Navy Recruiting office, where he was enlisted, Moore expressed his com plete satisfaction with his present ship and the service in general. He advised any young man seek ing adventure, travel, excitement as well as a worth-while trade to join the Navy. John Marshall Seeks To Enlist In Army John Marshall, business manager of the New Hanover county board of education, an nounced yesterday that he had applied for enlistment in the U. S. Army. Pending a physical examina tion, Mr. Marshall will not tender his resignation to the school board, he said. If, when examined, he is accepted in the Army, his resignation will become effective then. Mr. Marshall recently served as an ensign in the U. S. Navy but was discharged for a slight physical defect. Upon his return to the city, he as sumed the position Of business manager Of the school board. 5 AIR RATO SIRENS NOW IN EFFECT Alarm Signal Is Consid ered To Be Generally Satisfactory With the installation and testing of the five large air sirens in Wil mington, the official air raid warn ing signal is now in effect. George Stearns, secretary of the New Han over Defense council announced yesterday. "On the whole, the sirens are satisfactory and in the case of ‘dead spots’, a situation prevalent in every city of any size, other means will be induced to bring the signal to the attention of the public’’, Stearns said. Police cars are a common meth od of bolstering and relaying the signal in “dead spots”, it was pointed out. Upon the sounding of the alert, the cars are immediate ly dispatched to the dead areas, these being surveyed beforehand. With the police car sirens, the signal is relayed to the people in that locality. The official signal is a series of intermittent blasts on the sirens; about 5 seconds duration with a pause of about 3 seconds. “Unless further notified, any such signal from the air raid .warn ing sirens will constitute an alert, effective at once’, Mr. Stearns said. "It is possible that further tests may be made on the sirens, but if it is done, the public will be notified in advance so that no one will take alarm”. The large sirens, mounted atop high poles at the various fire de partment stations, are remotely controlled and arranged for a si multaneous sounding upon receipt of an alert from the control room, it was explained. It is important that the public be cooperative in the distribution of an air raid warning signal, Mr. Stearns said. Drivers in autos may not hear the signal and it is the duty of pedestrians to attract their attention. This of course ap plies in all cases. 5 VOTE TODAY —FOR— The Best Qualified Candidates Your Support^ Of Jack Q.

The Camp Quartermaster is putting it on Wednesday at 8 p.m. over WMFD. This will be the first of a series to be given weekly at the same time, known as the Quartermast er Quarter-Hour. The program will consist of a series of talks by Quartermaster officers from Camp Davis and recorded music. The first program will feature a discussion of the K type army field ration. Succeeding programs will take up other subjects con cerning quartermaster duties. Lieut. L. L. Propst, of the QM purchasing and contracting section recently appointed Quartermaster Public Relations officer, is produc ing the broadcasts in cooperation with the 4th Corps Area Quarter master. While the Quartermaster Quart er Hour is the first new radio show to be presented by Camp Davis since the declaration of war, all regiments at the post had weekly programs until the step ping up of training forced them off the air. At present the camp Public Re lations office -furnishes material which is used by WMFD, and the 514th Coast Artillery regiment has a program in preparation. Programs presented in the past have featured soldier talent. Va riety has been the keynote, with singers, orchestras, actors and other entertainers.
