GROi TO COLLECT CLO [NG SUNDAY The public clothing collection committee of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, headed by Davis polvogt, has made its report on collections oy the club which will be made Sunday, Feb. 3. The club will start collections at 12 o’clock Sunday instead of earlier in the day as had previously been announced. This change is made because of the extra time it will ,;ve contributors to get their bundles together and place them convenient for collection, accord ing to a spokesman. The City of Wilmington hag off ered to lend the club two trucks (or use in the collection campaign. Thrift-T-Stores will furnish one truck, Home Furniture company and Todd Furniture company have offered to furnish one truck each (or use in the drive Sunday. The S. and G. company is also lending one truck for the collection, mak ing a total of six trucks to aid in the Sunday collection. The chairman asked all volun teers to be on hand early Sunday in order to be ready to start at 12. .He said the school buildings will be opened by janitors to receive the clothing when the trucks re turn from collection tours through out the city. Among other business matters taken up at last night’s meeting of the Junior Chamber was that of ap pointing a committee to investigate matters regarding incorporation of the local club. Their decision will be announced at a meeting, the time for which was not disclosed. Ed Gilmore was appointed to serve on this committee. Serving with him are Sol Sternberger and Lew Jenkins. h Plans for attending the State Board meeting which will be held In Wilson Feb. 15, were discussed it the meeting. President Bob Howard read a letter of invitation from Walter Pittman, president of the Wilson club stating that the f: three-day convention will be held at the Cherry hotel, Wilson. A 5 business and recreational program has been planned for the meeting. Frank Jones, member of the ilub's board of directors intro duced the Harmony Jubilee sing 1 ers, a Negro quintet, which sang for the club. County School Buses Rank I With Best In U.S* System (Continued from Page One) *• Replacement of the painted btop! ’ on the rear of the bus with a semaphore signal to warn motor ists at the instant the drive intends to stop. This innovation has been m use on buses in the county for several years, Roland pointed out. The semaphores are placed on the side of the buses out from the driv er’s seat. 2. A new heater-ventilator that keeps noxious fumes out of the vehicle. Roland pointed out that there has been no trouble with the bus he eating systems used in the county. He said the comparatively warm climate of this section makes it unnecessary for any additional heating equipment or any added precautions against these noxious fumes. ‘Because of our comparative mild climate,” Roland said, “our buses are not as tightly construct ed as those used in the North and colder climates. Therefore, we are not confronted with the problems that arise from carbon monoxide gas. I do not know of any instance where children riding the buses of cur state system have been over come by noxious fumes.” 3. Windows that.open far enough to provide good ventilation in warm weather but not far enough to pass youthful heads and arms. The windows can be removed en tirely in case of accident. Roland said there is a ruling against chil dren putting their arms and heads out of the windows and that in most cases there is not room enough through the openings to per mit such practice. He also said that most windows are removable to permit easy exit in case of acci dents. 4. Non-skid construction on all floors and steps. This feature is in corporated in all of the newer type buses in use in the county, Roland said. 5. Location of gas tanks and filling ports entirely outside the bus body. The buses here have this feature. 6. A body strong enough to sup port the entire weight of the load ed bus on its side or top if it should overturn. Roland said the newer type buses in use in the county have this feature. Roland pointed out that there is no problem in the county with bus construction. “Our many problem,” he said, “has to do with the replacement of old buses and our safety records indicate that our transportation program has been carried out well.” WHISKEY CREEK PROJECT DENIED (Continued from Page One) General Newman pointed out, in his unfavorable report, that citi zens interested in the project have the right of appeal to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Har bors, in Washington, D. C. Any action on the project must be taken by Feb. 26, four weeks from the time General Newman’s report was made public. However, the Board will permit the citizens to take longer than this time pro vided it is necessary in accumu lating data revelant to the project. JAYCEES HERE WIN NATIONAL HONORS FOR ACHIEVEMENT (Continued from Page One) club in the United States to apply for and receive notice that the award is being forwarded. According to President Howard, to become eligible for the award, proof of accomplishment of the club must be given affiliates. The eligibility requirements entail several minor qualifications and some exacting ones. esse Sellers secretary of the local club said that among re quirements for obtaining the achievement award are the follow ing; club must have had 125 per cent increase in membership since June 1, 1945. The club must be on active status and have held at least two meetings per month during each month of the year. STEPS FOR NEGRO RESORT TAKEN IN FILING OF SUIT As possible steps toward the opening of a new Negro resort, a suit was filed yesterday with A. L. Meyland, clerk of New Hanover Superior court for the partitioning of land opposite Seabreeze, Negro Resort which is situated on the Inland waterway, Federal Point township.

It seems this was a fore runner of cold storage here in Wil mington and there are a lot of circumstances surrounding the building of the plant ALONG THE CAPE FEAR would like to know about. Any information would be great ly appreciated. RESORT HOTEL—Down at the mouth of the Cape Fear—at South port, to be exact—our operatives have heard rumors that there is to be a new resort hotel built in the Brunswick capital. According to meagre information, northern capital is supposed to go into the project. However, there seem to be few details on the matter at this time. Any information on this also would be gratefully received. UAW ■ GM TO OP NEW PEACE T, l (Continued from Page One) for which there is a sound justifica tion.” The OPA has indicated it favor ed a steel price increase of no more than $2.50 a ton to cover increased costs but offers of high er , boosts never have been of ficially confirmed. John J. Brady, Iowa director of the Midwest Truck Operators association, announced settlement of a 70-day midwest truck drivers’ strike. A two-year contract was signed granting AFL truck drivers a pay boost of from 15 to 18 per cent. The union estimated up to 12,000 drivers were involved in the strike which tied up freight and merchandise shipments in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Missouri! Kansas and the Dakotas. Olds said the corporation had neither made nor considered any new proposal for settling its wage dispute with the 750,000 striking steelworkers. He said Benjamin F. Fairless, president of U. S. Steel, was in Washington on a mat ter “quite apart from the steel strike.’ * HOUSE PASSES BILL SENDING USES BACK TO STATES OF UNION (Continued from Page One) called “Full Employment” bill the President recommended. They wouldn’t say whether the compro mise would call for a policy of “full employment”, as approved by the Senate, or a high level of employment, as proposed by the House.

It approved and sent to the Senate floor for ac tion a bill to give veterans pref erence over everyone but the Federal government in buying surplus war supplies. Veterans, Servicemen Have Housing Priority Veterans and servicemen have priority on Federal housing in Wilmington, according to a tele gram received late yesterday by Ray Galloway, executive officer of Wilmington Post No. 1 ci the American Legion. The telegram was sent by an as sistant to Wilson Wyatt, national housing expediter, in response to a request by the local Legion to clarify the suitation here in which 140 veterans are on a wating list for housing in the federal projects. OVERSEAS SUPPLY MOVEMENT LAUDED (Continued from Page One) ing the Army. He has been award ed the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, the Order of the British Em pire and! the French Croix de Guerre. Following his talk, two sound films depicting the work of the Transportation corps during the war both here and overseas, were shown by High school students Harvey Britt and Graham Mur ray. Prior to Fuller’s speech, Ben McDonald made an appeal to members for all-out support of the March of Dimes campaign. McDonald said, in announcing a ball for the fund Thursday even ing concluding the campaign, that “unless something happens in the next two days, the quota in New Hanover county will not be sub scribed.” He said that tickets could be bought for the dance at many of the town’s stores or the American Legion Home.

Jaycees Study Measures To Help Sick Veterans (Continued from Page One) An initial step, according to chairman Welsh, is to invite Ray Galloway, executive director of Post No. 10, American Legion, to attend a dinner meeting of mem bers so that the club can get “the low down’’ on conditions exist ing in the community which pertain to the veteran. Second, the club will investigate veterans'emergency cases which cannot obtain admittance to hos pitals. The importance of getting all the facts about cases and back ing the worthwhile cases, was stressed by Welsh. A suggestion that the commit tee contact proper authorities at Camp Lejeune regarding the Marine hospitals acceptance of emergency veterans cases which may come up in the community. If all efforts to make this pos sible fail the club will then negoti ate with officials for veterans ad mittance to the Camp Davis hos pital. Finally, the club would apply for facilities for the veterans at the Fort Fisher hospital. This was considered by Welsh and others as the preferable hospital since it is situated nearby and would afford the earliest relief to emergency cases. Chairman Welsh reported that there have been a number of cases of veterans who need emer gency hospitalization and cannot gain admission. He suggested that members of the club contact doctors whom they know and ask them to assist in getting aid for these needing immediate assist ance. He said that six local doctors have offered to cooperate with the movement already. COLEMAN DENIES CHARGING MISUSE (Continued from Page One) Following the quotation, winch Coleman denied, Community Chest officials declared yesterday that the Associated Charities, and all other agencies of the Chest, had agreed on submitting budgets be fore yearly appropriations are finally adopted. The budget committee of the Chest consists of 11 members who are appointed annually by the president with the approval of the board of directors. Serving in 1945 and setting up the 1946 budget were L. D. Latta, chairman, Mrs. Herbert Bluethen thal, John H. Hardin, Warren S. Johnson, Thomas B. Lilly, W. D. McCaig, Pomeroy Nichols, Howard A. Penton and J. Goodlet Thornton. Community Chest budgeting, according to officials, is a process of finance, the deficit arising from the differences between the esti mated income and the approved expenses of member agencies. The Associated Charities present ed its 1946 budget for $8,005. Aftei it had been presented by E. L Yow, member of the board o: directors in the Family Service division of the Associated Charities the budget was cut to $6,000 bj the committee with the stipulatioi that it be used for the establish ment and operation of a Family Service agency, separate from th< Pubic Welfare department and other service agencies. The budget provided for $2,401 for a director, $1,000 for an assis tant or clerk, $600 for housing $400 for furnishings, and $1,500 foi emergency aid. According to officials of the Ches this aid has not been refused, bu cannot be made available unti such time as the Agency is setuj in operating form. Mrs. L. O. Ellis, executive direc tor of the Associated Charities said yesterday that the Charities have been unable to find a workei in the $1,800 to $2,400 class. Ii addition, she pointed out, the or ganization has been unable to secure proper housing facilities for the agency. “We asked for,” Mrs. Ellis said, “a sum of $8,005 which would have left about $4,600 for the continuance of emergency relief of family cases.” At the present time, she pointed out, there are 41 family service cases on file in her office, whicl she declared would be cared foi through the services of a Family Service agency. In the same instance, she ex plained that the budget presentee to the city and county had bees cut some $3,000 by the official; of those two administrative bodies a figure, she said, which had “helped carry the load.” When asked about the defici under which the Charities wen operating, Mrs. Ellis explained tha a large percentage of that amoun was in unpaid bills, some of which she said, were of many month standing. Officials of the Chest explains that in July of each year the bud get committee is divided into sub committees of two members witl each group being assigned budget submitted by three member agen cies. These reports are then studied they said, and are returnable b; the first of August when the com mittee, through a series of week ly meetings, review and discus; its recommendations* with offi cials of the agencies.
