GAS REGISTRATION SLATED TWO DAYS Will Be Carried Out At High School, Shipyard And Wrightsboro School The extended gasoline registra tion on Monday and Tuesday from 2 to 7 p. m. of this week will be held at three locations—the New Hanover High school, N. C'. Ship building company and Wrightsboro school — the New Hanover War Price and Rationing board an nounced Saturday. Although a count has not been made of the number of trucks, non highway users, and motorists ask ing for extra rations of gasoline, the board learned that a great number was unable to register dur ing the three-day period, last week at the four sub-registration boards in the county. There will be no registration at Carolina Beach this week. In announcing the continued reg istration, the board explained that shipyard employes will be register ed only at the N. C. Shipbuilding company. All owners of fleet pas senger cars must register at the High school. The board instructed tnat tnose persons who have filed applica tions, which have not been acted upon, should call for them at the office in the Trust building and register them at the shipyards or High school, as the case may be. These applications must be regis tered, it was explained, or else it will be impossible for the board to pass upon them for possibly 1C days. Most of the applications were mailed or left at the rationing board. Some are incomplete. The new plan of gasoline ration ing becomes effective midnight, July 21. The ration card in use at the present time will expire on that date. All supplies used for the emergency gasoline rationing will be destroyed by the New Hanover Rationing board that night.

The first month of the critical war summer of 1942 closes with Hitler’s master offensive ominous- , ly close to vital Allied resources and communication lines in Rus sia and Egypt, and still no sign that an Anglo-American second front offensive is close at hand Comparison of the battle Mapu as they stood in Russia and Egypt at the summer solstice, June 21-22, and as they are now, a short month later, would be gloomy if it told all the story. They do not. They do not even reflect all the unhappy events of those weeks. They do not record, either, any of the factors that tend to brighten the war prospect for the anti-Axis league despite the rave and grow ing perils in Russia and the Axis dagger-thrust in Egypt still dan gerously close to the Alexandria, heart of British power in the Mid dle East. Maps Show Axis Gains The war maps plot the rout of the British Eighth army in Libya. They define a vast new German occupied area in southwestern Russia. But they do not show the blood cost to Germany and her satelUte allies of these still inconclusive victories. They do not show the terrible toll of United Nations ship ping taken by Axis submarines in Western Hemisphere waters; but neither do they show the tremen dous and continuing flow of Amer ican fighting forces and war ma chines to the British Isles or the swelling tide of Anglo-Amer'can materiel which has won through to Russia. The cumulative effect of British and American bombing of Nazi in dustrial targets and German-held continental ports and war centers cannot be mapped. Its ultimate in fluence either on the Nazi cam paign in Russia or on the sea-at trition battle Hitler is waging in the Atlantic can only be conjec tured. That air second-front has not reached its peak; nothing ap proaching the thousand-planes-a night scale of sustained bombing has yet been attained. Just why is not revealed. London offers bad flying weather as an explanation of long lapses between mass bomb ing raids over Germany. The promised American air force parti cipation is yet to develop in more than token fashion. Only the Allied high command knows what prob lems of strategy, tactics or loss replacements and supply are still to be solved before the full weight of ever-increasing Anglo-American air power makes itself felt. And it may be that it is the solution of those problems that >ars the way to immediate sec ;nd-front operations in the west to ■elieve pressure on Russia. A ■ounter-invasion of the continent to :atch Hitler between two fires leems possible only when there is ivailable a vast and unmatchable \.nglo-American air umbrella to :over it and to blast a way for it. That does not necessarily forbid larly Commando raid operations m a far greater scale than have fet been attempted. I would not >eem to prevent, for instance, ef forts to secure air and submarine pases somewhere on the far north, irn coast of Norway as a further protection for the Atlantic-Arctic supply route to Russia. And with Nazi forces on or close to the Don river from the Voro nezh anchor of the Russians below Moscow to Migulisnk, far south past of Boguchar and stabbing to ward Rostov at the Caucasus ap proach. there seems urgent need for quick action in the west by air and otherwise to help avert a Rus sian disaster. The vital importance pf the Arctic supply route to Rus sia is increasing as rapidly as is the peril to her armies in the south. Ways and means of secur ing that route as well as of dis tracting German attention from the east must be foremost in Ai ded war councils in London and Washington at this grave moment in the war. In sharp contrast to the dark war scene across the Atlantic and be yond the Mediterranean, the Pa cific front offers much cheer to American eyes. The now disclosed victory fruits of the Coral sea and Midway battles are great. The Nipponese march southward or eastward, if not westward in China, appears definitely check ed. The diversion of American sea power could go far to prevent Ja pan’s breaking her truce with Rus sia in order to aid Hiller. 4 -.V Arrest Of Enemy Aliens Is Announced By FBI NEW YORK, July 13.—OP)—The arrest of 14 enemy aliens,- one a German who declared “only fools become American citizens,” was announced today by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI said 13 were Germans and the other an Italian editorial writer of an unnamed Italian language newspaper in New York All were taken to Ellis Island for hearings before the enemy alien boards. One of those arrested was quoted by the FBI as saying: “I became a better German citizen by re maining in the United States than if I had returned to Germany. Only fools become American citizens.’ P. E. Foxworth, assistant direc tor of the FBI, said one was a fore man in a war production plant machine shop while others includ ed candy-store keepers, watch manufacturers, waiters and a boarding house operator. m the WORLD F RCLICIOn vlU.UI.RE ID BY W. W. REID “We have good food, and I am in good health, though I suffer from being obliged to keep up so many different activities instead of being just a physician,” is the word received by American friends from Dr. Albert Schweitzer, medi cal missionary extraordinary, whose famous hospital stands on the boundary between North Ga bon and South Gabon, provinces in Free French Equatorial Africa. At the request of the Free French government. Dr. Schweitzer’s hos pital is serving governmental needs during the war emergency. The Free French government and the American Red Cross are sup plying many of the institution's needs. When the present war is ended and the world settles down to a normal existance, there will prob ably be a great movement of peo pies both within countries and from country to country, in the opinion of Dr. Mark A. Dawber. rural expert and secretary of the Home Missions Council of North America. This, he says, has been the experience after every great upheaval, and these movements of people are always accompanied by depression and its trail of un rest and poverty. He urges that the Christian churches now serving migrant groups in America and elsewhere “gird themselves to meet the new and greater de mands.” “Ministering to uprooted people is no simple task,” says Dr. Dawber. “It calls for a leader ship of exceptional quality, well trained, and with a sacrificial spirit.” “The century which will come out of this war can and must be the century of the common man,” said Vice-president Henry A. Wal lace in a recent address. “No na tion will have the God-given right to exploit other nations. Other na tions will have the privilege to help younger nations get started on the path to industrialization, but there must be neither military nor economic imperialism. The meth ods of the nineteenth century will not work in the people’s century which is about to begin. India, China and Latin America have a tremendous stake in the people’s century. As their masses learn to read and write, and as they be come productive mechanics, their standard of living will double and treble. Modern science, when de voted wholeheartedly to the gen eral welfare, has in it potential ities of which we do not yet dream.” Within the last decade the Ro man Catholic Church has more than doubled the number of priests working exclusively among Ne groes in the United States. Today there are 486 priests serving Ne groes in both northern and south ern states, in addition to hun dreds who serve them in churches not wholly for that race. One of the newest such Negro center is the Catholic chapel at Kinston, North Carolina, with twenty-six members, ministered to by the Rex. David Gannon, a priest of the Society of the Atonement. Father Gannon was at one time an assistant manager of the old Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. The Board of Missions and. Church Extension of the Metho dist Church has recently commis sioned twenty-five young people as missionaries or deaconesses. Those going to foreign fields are: Miss Doris E. Cary, of Wilmore, Kv., to the Belgian Congo; Miss Muriel David, of Atlanta, Ga., to Argentina; Miss Evelyn de Vries, of Salem, Oregon, to Southern Rhodesia: Mrs. Pearl Willis Jones, of Arlington, Va., to China; Miss Jane Smith, of Conway, Ark., to Cuba; the Rev. and Mrs. Maurice E. Persons, of Independence, Oregon, to Liberia; Miss Susan Mitchell, of Godfrey, 111., to Li beria: Mrs. C. W. Chappel, ot Moss Point, Miss., to the Belgian Congo. Commissioned as deacon esses for service in the United States were the Misses Ruth Marie Baker of Auburn, Ind., Ethci Mary Bechtold of Lancaster, Pa. Anna M. De Ponceau of Brockway, Pa., Irene C. Pritchard of Parnell. Missouri, Rubye E. Russell ot Woodland, Ga., Dorothy Strong ot Sac City, Iowa, Fiances A. Tay lor, of Hemet, Calif., Louis*1 Weeks of Norman, Okla. Miss Eliz abeth Cooling, of Collingswood, N J., goes to Puerto Rico as a home missionary. Those who will serve as missionaries in the United States are the Misses Mary F Fairchild of Drew, Miss., Alice E Farrington, of Buffalo, New York; Jewell Mantooth of Henryetta, Okla., Doris Miller of Philadel phia, Miss., Erma Repaskey or Robins, Ohio, Christine Snyder of Charles Town, West Va., and Helen Strickland of Douglisville, Georgia.

Front St. WEST POINT MEN END DAVIS VISIT Cadets Observe Anti-Aircraft Units In Action And In The Classroom Eighty-four senior cadets front the United States Military aca demy at West Point, N. Y., left Camp Davis for their home station yesterday after spending several days observing anti-aircraft units in action and in the classrooms. The cadets were under the su pervision of Lieut.-Col. James L. Hayden, Coast Artillery instructor at the academy. Some of the future officers who visited Camp Davis will make a career of anti-aircraft and the vis it to Davis was a special treat for them. The entire group visited Sears Landing to watch anti-air carft target practice. More West Point students are scheduled to arrive at Camp Davis this week, it was indicated. Colo nel Hayden expressed the opinion that the tours of army post are beneficial to the cadets, giving them more thorough insight into the workings of the various arms of military service. The Pointers seemed especially interested in the Anti-aircraft Ar tillery Officer Candidate school, where thousands of soldiers are being trained to take their places in anti-aircraft combat units. 3 Firing Scheduled At Sears Landing, Fis Camp Davis authorities a„ ■ call attention to firing for the v91!1 of July 20 to July 25 that win tak! place at both the Sears Land;!! and Fort Fisher ranges. ’ At the landing there will be Pr tice all week, up to noon Saturdw with Zone No. 2 dangerous to a ^' tance of 25,000 yards offshore * Fort Fisher will also be the seen of firing throughout the week eluding ail day Saturday. Zone >;!' 3 will be dangerous to a riisf,L of 25,000 yards offshore. flC! Small craft in this vicinity ar. warned to observe the closed area i The Complacent Arab and the Creeping Camel! 4 You know the story. The complacent Arab first allowed the camel to put his HEAD in the tent. Then his SHOUL DERS. Finally the camel pushed ALL the way in . .. crowded the Arab out into the cold. In that way, too, a free people can allow one little restriction to follow another ... until FREEDOM is crowded out. How can WE avoid it? The answer is simple: The people must know WHAT is happening. They must have a FREE PRESS to tell them the facts. In Germany, Hitler muzzled the press. 7. signed up Goebbels. Then, when a restrictive law was passed, no newspaper could criticize. The, press HAD to say: "You will like this fine new law! It is good for the state!” And the people believed it. For that was all the news they had. So they passed into POLITICAL slavery... But that wasn’t all! Hitler, for example, brought out a motor car. He told the press to say it was "The Best That Could Be Made.” Competition was chained and muzzled. The public read only Hitler’s claims. This way, and in a thousand others, they lost their right to choose, bo they^lost.^their ECONOMIC freedom, too! Remember, a dictatorship cannot live WITH a free press, a democracy cannot live WITHOUT it. FACTS are the bedrock under your democratic right of deciding what to do, where to go, what to buy, how to vote. Don’t imagine the wide Atlantic safeguards freedom of the press in America! For the REAL danger is right here ... in COMPLACENCY... m taking this freedom too much for granted. The publisher can’t do the job alone. It is YOUR responsibility, too! For it is your freedom, as well as ours, which MUST be protected! "But,” you ask, "just what can I do?” To begin with, read your newspaper more carefully than ever. It brings you the FACTS. Think about what you read. Watch for restrictions (beyond those really neces sary in time of emergency), restrictions not only on the press, but on ANY of your freedoms. Should you spot one, talk to your friends about it! Wake THEM up, too! Write your editor! Be an ACTIVE citizen! For if you are complacent, democracy may be crowded out. Remember the Arab and the Camel! In Germany, Italy, Russia, Japan, a government agency decides what the people shall read and hear. Not so in America.
