GROCERY STORES CHANGE SCHEDULE Several Establishments Be gin Closing All Day Wed nesday For Check in order that they may have time for tabulating inventories required In the Office of Price Administra tion. and in order that they may hav? opportunity to familiarize themselves more completely with )iew rationing regulations as they (ievelop, several local gorcery stores on Wednesday initiated the policy 0f remaining closed during the en tire day. The closing measure is not gen ,ra | according to Paul T. Marsh IF YOU SUFFER FROM ARTHRITIS of Rheumatism, you can now do fc*nething' about it! Medical science lias recently come to the rescue with DMC PRESCRIP TION No. 49. Try this remarkable new medicine for two weeks and \ ou'll be surprised at the results, there is absolutely nothing on the market so effective for the treat ment of Arthritis and Rheuma tism as DMC PRESCRIPTION No. 49. Sold in Wilmington by futbelits pharmacy burn, president of the local Retail Merchants Association, because ob jections to the plan were presented at a recent meeting of the retail organization by certain of the larg er chain stores. “A number of the merchants have expressed themselves as favoring the policy of closing all day Wed nesday, but unless all the larger stores are agreeable it is not likely that the plan will be carried out on a wide scale,” Mr. Marshburn com mented. The Retail Merchants Association official explained that all-day clos ing on Wednesday would be inval uable to the grocerymen of the city, all of whom, he said, are w'elghed down with new rationing program matters and all of whom must keep accurate inventory records for OPA. Mr. Marshburn was able to cite two stores which closed their doors on Wednesday and another contem plating all-day closing on Thursday. “I believe if more of the grocery men would give thought to the mat ter they would soon see the wisdom of not opening their doors on Wed nesday,” he declared. “They w-ould be able to eliminate some of the long night hours many are forced to observe to do the extra work connected with rationing and ceiling prices, and they would be in a much better position to assist the pub lic.” At the present time, almost all grocery stores of the city are clos ed throughout Wednesday after noon. rr The beauty business is one of the 20 largest industries in the United States. First Christian Church Opening Is Delayed Here Due to the illness of the Rev. Janies T. Lawson, pastor, dedi cation services for the First Christian church, scheduled for next Sunday, were indefinitely postponed Wednesday. Services will continue to be held in the Sunday School building, as the sanctuary will not be |used until the appropriate dedication services can be held, it was revealed. Announcement of| dedication plans will be made as soon as Mr. Lawson is sufficiently re covered.

WE ARE REACHING TURNING PERIOD (Continued From Page One) and chauvinism, and to have tem pered the steel by burning away' the dross. The place of America in the war and in the post-war world is great, and the American destiny is hard and it is high. There is then nothing to be lost and there is everything to gain by dispelling the illusion of omnipotence and the sin of self-righteousness. In 1940 we had to learn that the fall of France and the threatened invasion of Britain and the cap ture or destruction of her fleet would leave the western hemi sphere exposed in both oceans to a deadly dangerous combination of enemies. This was a shock to many who had thought the United States was invulnerable behind her two oceans. In 1943 we have to learn that it is our own future se curity. and not only the future of other nations, which is jeopardized by the notion that we can sit back, decide nothing and commit ourselves to nothing while virtu ously we brandish the Atlantic Charter, and wait to see who does and who does not toe the mark we set. This will be a shock to many who are accustomed to think that we are always the givers—be it food, military action, or moral ad vice—and never the takers. Yet the world as it is today is not the kind of world in which the old wishful willfulness is possible. Unpleasant as it may be to same to hear it, we shall get nowhere except into vast and unmanageable trouble by being too squeamish to see the facts of life. The question for us is not whether we shall be pleased to continue to participate in reestab lishing and in maintaining order in the world. We cannot afford not to do these things. If, for example, 33 Senators could again be organized as another battalion of death to reject any engagement which was proposed, the thing which happened after 1919 could not happen this time. No Bricker could do again what Harding did then, which was to persuade our allies to dissolve their alliances and to disarm. For we may be absolutely cer tain that the one sure effect of another isolationist victory this time would be to make still tight er and firmer the Anglo-Soviet al liance, and to draw into it the new France and the liberated countries. Nor would our present allies disarm: on the Contrary, knowing that the victory of Amer ican isolationism would incite the enemy countries to plot for re venge, and that it would give aid and comfort to all Fascist and quasi-Fascist elements in every country, they would necessarily re main in a state of high military preparedness. The world would look upon our refusal to organize peace as the certain prelude to another cycle of civil and inter national wars. Inevitably, we should then find that our action had wrecked our influence in South America, in Africa, and in Asia. A Bricker administration in America, brought into power by the politicians who are now for him, would be taken at ones tmoughout the world to mean that the United States had learned nothing, and that at the next crisis of affairs, we would be just as unprepared physically, politically and morally as we were in the long disastrous years from 1921 to 1941. In South America our position would collapse, as it very nearly did in 1940, because the spectacle of a large democracy which does not know its own interests and cannot make up its own mind, would confirm the worst suspi cions of all those who think poorly of democracy anyway. In Africa, which is of such vital interest to the defense of this hemisphere, there would be turmoil and confu sion. For the native peoples of Africa will never respect a nation which exhibits such appalling weakness. In Asia the Filipinos would lose all faith in us, once they saw that we were getting ready to be just as incapable of protecting them as we were in 1941. And in China the influence of those Chinese who are most friendly to us would sink to zero, while those who would make quite other arrangements would become dominant. And at home, divided by the struggle with the isolationists, we should be once more a frustrated people. We should see no future in which we believed. We should know that our form of government is self-paralyzing. We should be wracked by the awful realization that we had failed again to con solidate our victory and to insure our interests and our peace. In the tragedy of that demorali zation, where should we find the mind, the heart and the good will to master the issues which the war compels us to face? pipe One route PARLEY STARTED (Continued From Page One) it to the Hood’s creek section for the present Plans call for the construction of the pipeline to Hood’s creek and then along the creek for a distance of a mile to reach deep water. The Lock-Joir* plant will be in stalled along the Seaboard Airline right-of-way and will employ ap proximately 100 workmen. It will produce a minimum of 600 feet of pipe a day when operating at capacity. * BLANKS NOT RECEIVED Local merchants, scheduled to receive and complete their OPA inventory form R-1310 be tween April 1 and April 10, were advised Wednesday by the New Hanover War Price and Ration ing board that the necessary blanks had not been received and that they should not apply for them until further notice. The new form which the mer chants will be required to fill out concerns processed foods, by items and sines. Ration board officials will an nounce through the newspaper when the blanks come into headquarters? VITALGERMAN AREA IS TAKEN (Continued From Page One) munique said another Nazi defense point was knocked out and 100 Germans killed. West of Rostov along the north ern shore of the Sea of Azov, the communique said the Germans had attacked Russian positions but were forced into “a hurried re treat” by Soviet artillery and mor tar fire. This was the first time in weeks that fighting had been re ported in this area between Ros tov and Taganrog. The Russian effort to expel the Germans from the western Cauca sus had been bogged down by spring muds, but the Red army was showing more offensive effort there than elsewhere, and was last reported only 20 miles from Novorossisk. The noon communique yesterday said that a German Caucasian stronghold had been taken and 150 enemy troops killed. (The German communique pecu liarly said “a German offensive op eration made in order to shorten the front reached prearranged ob jectives” south of Lake Ilmen, sug gesting a new retreat toward Sta raya Russa. The Germans said the Russians were attacking south of Lake Ladoga near Leningrad, southwest of Vyazma and in the Kuban. “All was quiet” on the southern and central fronts, the Nazis said.) German tanks probed at the un yielding Russian defense lines along the Donets river east of Khar kov, and the midday communique said seven were destroyed. Dispat ches said another 13 were dam aged. Behind the front, peasants were digging seed into the liberat ed soil. One whole division was reported by Red Star to have attacked one narrow sector of the Donets front without success. The army newspaper made the disturbing statement that on one area of the western front where the Russians are from 32 to BO miles short of the pivotal base of Smolensk, the “enemy was in su perior numbers.” The dispatch re lated, however, that the Russians rolled back Nazi counterattacks launched by small groups of tanks and artillery. The communique said that scouts were active and that 250 Germans were wiped out in a bayonet and grenade charge that carried a Nazi trench south of Bely. Active fighting was reported in the rice fields of the western Cau casus where the Red army is 20 miles from Novorossisk. A strong hold was captured and 150 Ger mans were killed.
