banks have idea FOR TIMELY GIFT Officials Offer Suggestion Of Buying War Bonds For Presents Officials of Wilmington banks have offered a timely suggestion (or the Christmas gift for the fam ,]v for the boy in the service, or for the one who is “so hard to buv for.” Mr. J. G. Thornton, of the Wil mington Savings and Trust com panv. said yesterday that he could think of no other gift quite so useful as a war bond. “It is a gift the recipient will have, long after other things have keen ■dis carded,” Mr. Thornton said. Mr. E. A. Laney, of the Morris Plan Bank said last night that the buying of war bonds as Christmas gifts seemed to him to be one of ,he best ways of saying “Merry Christmas” not only to the one to whom ihe bond is given but to those who are fighting and need ing war materials. ■ It is a gift with a fuutre,” Mr. Laney said, “and a wise invest ment for anyone.” ‘VICTORYFUND’ PROGRESSES HERE Local Chairman Announces That People Must Con tinue Purchases Mrs. R. S. Rogers, chairman for Region six of the Victory Fund committee, announced last night that “we have received some nice subscriptions, but we must work harder than ever if we are to con tribute our share to the govern ment’s request for 9 billion dollars this month through the sale of war bonds and new issues of se curities.” Rept. John H. Folger, said yes terday in an official press release that, “danger for inaction or un necessary delay in responding to the Victory Fund Drive now in progress can be compared only with the danger of such inaction on the African or Australian front.” ‘‘Subscription by everyone who has the resources is our most ur gent business in this war, as in dividuals,” Representative Folger continued. Mr. Rogers said that the Victory Fund committee, organized by the United States Treasury depart ment, for the purpose of selling r.ew issues of government securi ties, has recently taken over the sale of series F and G war bonds, siso. Banks and security dealers are authorized to handle applications for any of these government is sues. -v Cuban President En Route For Visit In Washington HAVANA.

Axis Invasion Jitters Now Plaguing Creators NEW YORK, Dec. 7.— (A»)—1The invasion jitters, a wartime mal ady once spread almost exclusive ly by Hitler, are now plagueing their creator—in double strength. This seems evident in his re ported moves to clear civilians from the coasts of the Netherlands and Belgium and from Sicily, areas on his western and south ern flanks beyond which mighty Allied forces are crouched for their threatened spring into Eu rope. On the western flank a forced migration inland of hundreds of thousands of Hollanders and Bel gians from their coastal homes is reported underway by Dutch and Belgian sources here. A similar action in Sicily is re ported by the Morocco radio, which said Hitler has directed the Ital ian government to remove civil ians from the strategic Mediter ranean isle so that he can set up a military garrison on that possible stepping stone to invasion of Italy. The Morocco report came as British and American troops in northern Tunisia awaited aerial support and reinforcements before continuing their drive toward Bi zerte and Tunis to close that gap in Allied control of north Africa. It was an indication that the Nazis’ fears of the ultimate loss of all north Africa and the re sultant exposure of the Axis’ un derside were increasing far out of proportion to German and Ital ian claims of recent successes in the battle for Tunisia. \ Advices reaching the Nether lands information bureau here said between 200,000 and 300,000 Hol landers are being uprooted from the coastal provinces of north Holland, south Holland and Zee land across tht North Sea from England, and from the western parts of the inland provinces of Utrecht and north Brabant. Belgian circles here said their own coast was the scene of a mass evacuation of civilians back to 50 miles from the sea. The clearing of civilians from the coastal areas would appear on the surface to be a humanitarian action designed to shift the non combatants from a potential bat tle zone and was reported as *o described by the Dutch Nazi lead er, Anton Mussert. Nazi Rear Admiral Richard Ga dow, however, gave a different reason when he was quoted by the newspaper, Deutsche Zeitung in Dn Niederlanden, as indicat ing the Germans were not con cerned over Dutch lives but wish ed to guarantee German defense forces greater freedom of move ment and at the same time pre vent “unreliables” from aiding the invaders should they come. More evidence of Hitler’s inva sion jitters came from the Dutch source’s report that virtually ev ery building along the 180-mile coastline affected has become a blockhouse and that a network of roads has been constructed to con vey supplies to the front. Thousands of mines have been sown on the sand dunes and sen tries have been ordered to fire upon persons trespassing on the beaches, the same source said, adding that General Frederich Christiansen, German military commander in Holland, had moved his headquarters far inland to Arn hem. The Netherlands information bu reau described the dislocation and suffering caused by the evacuation as among the most serious in Hol land in centuries and predicted its effects would be felt for years to come. The bureau declared that Hol land, with 8,800,000 persons in 13, 500 square miles, is unable to cope with the shift as the migrants are pushed into other populous dis tricts in the eastern Netherlands where there is little hope for work and where housing already is a problem. And, while Hitler thus shows signs of the invasion jitters, the Allies across the North Sea are continuing large-scale air attacks calculated to do anything but cure them as he turns from Africa to England and back again, facing possible thrusts from either direc tion. •XT MRS. FR COMMENTS ON PEARL HARBOR First Lady Says Day Should Not Be Made Into National Holiday WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.— W — Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said today she would hate to see the anniversary of Pearl Harbor made a holiday because “to me it is a day of great sadness.” Asked at her press conference if she had any comment on the anniversary, she said: “We unnecessarily lost human lives. We can replace the ships we lost, but we can’t replace the human lives. “I can only say we should learn a lesson, no matter how much you would like to keep the peace, it depends on other people besides yourself. “I think you must never think you can accomplish it by turning inward to your own interest. You’ve got to think of it in terms of the world as a whole.” T T . _ _ LOANS DECLINE WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 — (JP) — Commercial, industrial and agri cultural loans declined $49,000,000 in 101 leading member bank cities during the week ending De cember 2, the Federal Reserve Board reported today.

For % CO1 DUE TO 7 that OJGH A COLD r PER BOTTLE MANY LOCAL MEN SAVED IN DRAFT New Ruling On Induction Of Those Over 38 Years Boon To County Several hundred Wilmington married men in the age bracket of 38 to 45 years old, who possibly would have been inducted will es cape the draft by the President’s call to halt the induction of all men over 38, Glenn McClelland, of city Draft Board No. 1 said yes terday. At the same time, McClelland said that most single men in the age bracket registered with the city board have been sent to the induction center at Fort Bragg, where they have either been in ducted or rejected. A large number in this age bracket have been rejected at Fort Bragg, he commented, because they fell below the physical re quirements. Officials of county board No. 2 stated they were unprepared to place any estimate on the number of their registrants to be affected by the new order. Neither board was able to ex plain the far-reaching effects of the new orders announced by Pres ident Roosevelt Saturday, in which he told Army and Navy to get their recruits henceforth through the Selective Service system. It is not known here if any Wil mington men over 38, who are already in the service, will be given honorable discharges. —— V Army Officer Slated» To Speak To Rotary The Wilmington Rotary club, at its weekly meeting today, will note the first anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor with Lieut.

Ham, master project director. NYA youths at the completion of their courses in the local center have entered North Carolina Ship building company yards; the New port News Shipbuilding company; Bethlehem - Fairchild airplane plant, Baltimore; Southeastern Shipbuilding company, Savannah; Glenn L. Martin airplane plant, Baltimore; Tennessee Valley Au thority, Bryson City; and the Ed wards company, Sanford. Since July of this year, 25 have joined the nation’s armed forces, where their specialized training is util ized. Everything needed for complete training in machine shop and weld ing practices is provided for the 170 youths usually in residence at the center. In the six weeks’ pe riod of their concentrated study, the boys learn by actually produc ing on burning outfits, acetylene welding machines, lathes, grind ers, automatic pressure grinders, drill presses, power planers, shap ers, cutting saws, anvils, and forge. A counselor helps them to select the type of work for which they show the greatest ap titude. At the present time, youths in both welding and machine shops, under the guidance of skilled in structors, are working on an order from the Maritime Commission for 1,070 ship ladders. The machine shop crew is also engaged in do ing repair work on trucks and trailers and in making parts for the Army. Eight buildings comprise the | city’s NYA project—two shops, a dining hall, an infirmary, two bar racks, an administration building, and a recreation-property room. I The dining hall boasts an “A’* j grade rating. At the infirmary, j staffed with a full-time registered nurse and a part-time doctor, boy» are given complete physical ex aminations and all the vaccina tions and blood tests necessary to strengthen them for strenuous in dustrial life. “Not all activity at the center involves work,” Mr. Ham told a Star reporter who was making I rounds of his campus. He opened the door t the recreation hall | where a square dance was in prog : ress and youths were dancing with ■ local girls to music furnished by their own string band. Staff su • pervisors were also in evidence on j the dance floor, as were repre j sentatives from NYA’s regional of ! fice in Charleston, W. Va. The center trainees, who have j come from 65 counties in this ■ state and from cities and rural I districts as far away as Califor i nia, have their own student gov ernment and their own athletic ' competitions. They borrow books : from a 500-volume library. Mr. Ham declared that plans are going ahead for making the center I ready to accommodate 75 girls by the middle of this month. The girls, who will occupy one of the dormitories, will work at shop ma chines in NYA-made overalls. A dean to supervise their activities has not yet been named. Asked how the boys felt about having girls as their "grease-mon j key” companions and campus ; mates, Mr. Ham declared, with * emphasis: ‘‘They’re all for it!” “If It’s From Kingoff’s It’s Guaranteed’’ 10 North Front St. i is vouir wmvtree TOR LONGER USE OF.
