Spencer, distinguished North Carolina woman who was largely responsible for the re-opening of the University after the Civil war, the 89th Liberty ship was launched at the North Carolina Shipbuilding company Saturday afternoon at 2:15 o’clock. The 10,500-ton vessel was spon sored by Mrs. J. M. Johnson, wife of the foreman of the yard’s Time keeping department. Her attendants were Miss .Maria Johnson and Mrs. Melville Bryant, both of Newport News, Va. The North Carolina Federation of Women's clubs was represented at the launching by Mrs. J. C.

Amiong out-of-town guests were Prof. Charles Phillips, of the University ot JSortn uaronna, ana Mrs. Phillips, of Chapel Hill. The launching brings the ship yard within one vessel of comple tion of its first three contracts with the U. S. Maritime commission. Mrs. Spencer, author and leader in the early educational movement in North Carolina, was born in Har lan, N. Y., the daughter of the Rev. James Phillips, later professor of mathematics at the University of North Carolina. She was reared in Chapel Hill and there married James M. Spencer, a native of Alabama. He died in 1861. Mrs. Spencer made many contributions to literature and was the author of ‘‘The Last Ninety Days of the War.” Through her letters, newspaper articles and speeches, she conducted a success ful campaign in behalf of education and particularly the saving of the University at that time. She was the first woman to receive an hon orary degree at Chapel Hill and one of the dormitories, Spencer Hall, at the University was named in her honor. EFFECTSOFWMC REE FELT HERE — Greater Use Will Be Made Of | Occupational Question naires In Filling Jobs Because of the recent War Man power Commission regulation re stricting transfer of workers, Fe lix A. Scroggs, manager of U. S. Employment Service here, pre dicted Saturday that greater use will be made of occupational ques tionnaires to supply manpower needs in the Wilmington area. These questionnaires, which draft boards required all men be tween the ages of 18 and 65 to fill out, indicate the. occupations of men in this age bracket in New Hanover. Pender, Brunswick and Columbus counties. The men’s questionnaires in this four-county are are on file at the employment office. Describing the WMC regulation as having a “very beneficial” ef fect locally, Scroggs said it has cut down the migration of work ers to a great extent and in creased the transfer of workers from non-essential to essential in dustry. "The application flow through this office dropped 50 per cent last week.” he said. He predicted the regulation will be helpful to employers who do not have as high a wage scale, as other war industries, in hold ing their employees. He explained that “up to this week the biggest source of work ers was from textile mills, but since this activity has been plac ed in the essential group, this source is practically exhausted ” The employment service will now look to other fields for work ers to fill openings in war in dustries here, he announced. “This will be accomplished by examining occupational question naires and Tailing in for an in terview those men who have an essential skill. They will be of fered war jobs.” -v Wallace Returns From South American Tour MIAMI, Fla., April 24.—CPI—Vice President Henry A. Wallace return ed late today from a good will trip to seven Latin American countries where he was given tremendous welcomes.

B, Parmele, pro minent realtor, Herbert Senna, manager of the project, disclosed Saturday. About 150 persons have been given tracts on the land which Mr. Parmele donated to us,” the man ager said, "and at least 300 or more persons are growing Victory Gardens in their own backyards.” He urged the gardeners to re gister at his office Monday if they wish to compete for the various prizes offered by civic clubs for the best-kept gardens, ine prizes now aggregate over $200. Mr. Sen na declared the gardens must be at least 20 by 20 feet to be eligible for the contest. Points emphasized in judging the gardens are variety of vegetable grown, whether or not the garden is “year-round,” cul tivation, fertilization, and later, when they have matured, the num ber of vegetables canned and pre served for future use. Five vege tables must be grown and no more than ten should be attempted, to enter the contest. “The reason we want them to register,” Mr. Senna continued, “is that we want to get an idea of how big their plot of ground is, and what they’re planning to grow, so we can estimate how much extra food we’ll have in this vicinity.” He commended the spirit of the residents in the Lake Forest area, who, he said, “almost mobbed” him when he announced the land would be available for growing Vic tory gardens. “A lot of the people out here used to be farmers, and they are cer tainly enthusiastic about growing things when given the chance,” he declared. “I don't suppose you ever lose the feeling for the soil once you've lived on a farm.” COURT TO OPEN BURGAW, April 21. — The April term of Pender county Superior Court will convene on Monday, with Judge Q. K. Nimmocks, of Fayetteville, presiding. The docket is light, and it is expected that the term will be short. A B.

L. DeLoach, chief recruiter, said Saturday. It will be the first all-out cam paign by the local Navy station to seek the enlistment of women in these auxiliary branches of serv ice, although it has energetically sought their enlistment since the women’s corps were established. Several women have already been accepted for enlistment through the Wilmington recruiting office. In addition to efforts by the staff of the recruiting office. Ensign Alice Colbert. Waves. USNR, will interview interested women at the recruiting office on the second floor of the postoffice building Monday and Tuesday nights from 7 to 8 o clock. She will be there again Sunday afternoon, May 2, from 4 to 5 o'clock. The Waves is an oganization of women whose jobs are to re place Navy men at shore stations, and the Spars is a similar one to replace Coast Guardsmen at shore activities. Term of enlist ment for Waves and Spars will be for the duration and six months thereafter. Service will be limited to the continental United States. Advancement in ratings and pay is very rapid, DeLoach said, and there is also a substantial clothing allowance upon enlisting. "For instance, an enlisted worn j an who has had two years in High | school is paid $50 a month, plus a clothing allowance of $200 while she is in training.” DcLoach ox plained. "Upon comnlction of the training the salary increases. Foi example, third class petty officers are paid $160.00 per month, pro vided the government does not furnish food and lodging at the place of assignment, which is us ually the case. As promotions are earned, this rate of pav is pro portionately increased. This is in the enlisted class and open to RADIO REPAIR SERVICE DIAL 6501 Work Guaranteed. Delivery Service ! qualified women between the ages of 20 and 35.” Enlistment is open to married women, provided they have no children under 18 years of age. A married woman, whose husband enters any branch of the armed services after she has enlisted, re tains her status in the Waves or Spars. -v Black Mountain Soldier Is Prisoner Of Italians WASHINGTON, April 24— (/P) — The War department announced to I day the names of 11 U.
