TRAFFIC REDUCED BY CAS RATIONING Chamber Of Commerce Park ing'Lots, Tourist Facili ties Affected The effect of tire and gasoline rationing in the Wilmington area has resulted in possibly 50 per cent reduction of traffic on the highways. The lessening of prospective vol ume is having a detrimental ef fect upon the average business of drive-in eating places, golf clubs, parking lots, various kinds of tour ist facilities, amusements and at tendance at public meetings, the Greater Wilmington Chamber of Commerce Saturday advised Roy Mundee, regional manager U. S. Department Commerce, Richmond. The volume of theatre business has not been affected by the ra tioning, the chamber said, since Wilmington has had a marked in crease of population due to the lo cation here of the North Carolina ship Building company and Camp Davis. As yet the 10,000 or more work ers essential to war production at the shipyards are experiencing no difficulty in getting to and from their place of employment. Trans portation to the shipyards is being supplemented and aided through enlarged bus service of the Tide Water Power company. The man agement is doing a splendid job In handling traffic at rush periods during the morning and afternoon, and so far no accidents have oc curred. said the cnamoer. it is a remarkable record for the ma agement of the utilities company. The chamber expressed the opin ion there has been distinct change in the consumer shopping habits. The housewife is the one who does the average shopping for the home, and the necessity for economy in the operation of the family automobile is generally rec ognized by them. The carrying of packages by individual purchasers is steadily increasing in response to government appeals, and this reaction is especially noticeable in the downtown business area, in cluding grocery stores, and super markets. The season at Southeastern beaches is yet so early that it is difficult to determine the effect of tire and gasoline rationing upon the volume of traffic said the chamber. Necessarily, it is con siderably lighter than during past seasons, but week-end reports from the seashore resorts for the past several weeks indicate crowded conditions. The resorts seem to be receiving a splendid volume of traffic, much of which is attributed to the in flux of new residents in the Wil mington area due to Camp Davis, the mammoth shipyard, and the Army airport. This augurs well for a continuance and an assurance of a successful and prosperous sea son at the beaches. -V Chauffeurs* Licenses Aoplications Should Be Made Immediately Applications for chauffeurs’ li censes should be made as quickly as possible to avoid delay, R. E. Stone, driver’s license examiner here, said ysterday. According to Examiner Stone, 1941-42 chauffeurs’ permits expire on June 30.

WILSON MEMORIAL MARKER ERECTED Moore Suggests That Liberty Ship Be Named For Former President A memorial market to President Woodrow Wilson has been erected on Third street, between Orange and Dock streets, just north of the First Presbyterian church by the North Carolina State Highway and Public Works Commission. The inscription on the g r a y j metal marker, which relates to the war president’s residence in Wilmington, reads, as follows: “Woodrow Wilson, president 1913 1921. His home 1874-1882 the Pres byterian manse, which stood one block East.” Louis T. Moore, acting secretary of Greater Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, called the attention of Storer P. Ware, of N. C. Ship building company, to the marker in connection with the suggestion that the name of President Wood row Wilson be used for one of the ships to be launched here. The President was the son of Dr. Joseph R. Wilson, who was pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Wilmington 1874-1885. and made his home here for eight years. The inscription on the marker was prepared by the N. C. His torical Commission and furnished to the highway and public works commission. B. B. Cameron, director of N.C. Shipbuilding company, has asked the chamber of commerce for the historical background of Colonel Alexander Lillington, Colonel Rich ard Caswell and Cornelius Harnett. He hopes to get these names on three of the ships coming off the ways here. The Rev. A. J. Howell, chairman of New Hanover Historical com mission, and Louis T. Moore will prepare the sketches immediately, it was said. -v Fire Defense Class Will Convene Monday The second meeting of a Fire Defense B.

SPECIAL BANNER TO FLY AT DAVIS Nearby Camp Will Pay Unique Tribute To Unit ed Nations Today The United Nations will be sin gled out for tribute in a novel man ner at Camp Davis today when two emblems instead of one are unfurled on the camp flag staff. Beneath the American flag will be a large emblem listing 26 other nations, ranging in size from tiny Luxembourg to mighty Russia, the war partners of Uncle Sam. In flying the two flags Camp Davis will be taking the cue from President Roosevelt, who in his Flag Day proclamation said: “We as a nation are not fighting alone. Unless all triumph, all wiii fail. For these reasons it is fitting that on our traditional Flag Day we honor not only our own colors, but also the flags of those who have, with us, signed the Declara tion by United Nations.” Camp Davis, unable to secure flags of all the United Nations has instead made an emblem bearing the name of each of the Allied powers. Concerning the two-flag observ ance, Major General Frederic H. Smith of Camp Davis remarked, “in this way we will show our high esteem for each of these na tions and our high hope for ulti mate glorious victory.” The United Nations emblem, con ceived and made at Davis, has a red field. Blue letters on white rectangles spell out the names of the United States’ Allies. A feature of the improvised flag is the arrangement of names— they form a huge “V.” In the middle of the “V” are the words “One For All.” Lettering of the flag was done by Sgt. Henry M. Swan, soldier-artist. There will be an appropriate ceremony at the foot of the flag staff today. Twins Scarce In Movies; Maybe It’s Just As Well By TED GILL • HOLLYWOOD, June 13 —(Wide World) —It certainly is a good thing that most stage-struck peo ple aren’t twins. If they were, they’d never get far in the movies. Fewer than a dozen pair of twins have ever appeared in American films, and none of them ever got past first base. After all, with a few tricks of the camera, any player can, be shown as his own twin. Of course, there’s sometimes bound to be an exception, and Jean and Jane McNabb, a pretty, ’teen-age pair, hope they become just that. Right now, they’re working in the third picture since m a k ing their movie debut last December much progress as a stepping stone —to break the jinx. In their new roles, they appear as dancers in “Give Out, Sisters”, a musical light comedy, starring the Andrews sisters. Born in Omaha, these comely, blue-eyed, golden-haired girls are such truly identical twins that few persons, including their parents, can tell them apart. In fact, before they came to Hollywood, scientists from the uni versity of Chicago, attending a na tional twins convention, picked them as being the most identical twins in America. Also chosen as the most beauti ful of the 500 pairs attending that convention, the McNabb girls are accomplished dancers and musi cians with lots of personality, and they photograph like a million dol lars in war bonds. Not only do they look, dress and act alike, but they also have iden tical tastes for foods, wouldn’t think of going anywhere without each other, and when studio tech nicians recorded sound tracks of their voices, they had to label each one immediately to distinguish one from the other. The girls say the biggest prob lem confronting them, in view of their close relationship, is the pos sibility that one of them will fall in love and want to marry. “We both want to get married some day,” admits Jane. “But,” sighs Jean, ‘we can’t bear the thought of ever being sep arated.” But what if they should fall in love with the same man? “Oh, no, that will never hap pen,” insist the two of them. “It’s something that just can’t happen,” s ays Jane, “because when a boy asks one of us for a date, the other won’t ever date him—ever! After a boy has been out with one of us, he always wants a date with the other. I guess they want to see what is the difference.” “But actually,” they both say, “there isn’t any difference.” -V Davis Relief Fund To Receive Big Donation The Army Emergency Relief lund at Camp Davis will receive a large donation today from tke U. S. Army Motion Picture service All receipts taken in by the foui theatres in camp will be handed over to the AER for use in alle viating hardships caused to Army personnel and their families. The benefit has been arranged by Lieut. Col. John R. Sampey. Special Service officer, and Major Roy S. Wood, Theatre officer. The motion picture service is waiving its rights to the money collected today. MORGAN IS GIVEN" 18 MONTHS TEE?, Negro Soldier Convicted 0f Manslaughter In Death Of Youth Here Walter B.
