MORE ABOUT STUDENTS FROM PAGE ONE through the train by Conductor Hugh Humphreys and other con ductors, where they saw the pull man cars "where people sleep and the diners, and were allowed to stand on the rear platform _ and watch the passing “panorama’ of rivers, boats, bridges, and wooded countryside. They crossed five bridges, two “real long ones,” and had separate seats all the way out to Leland. Quiet On Trip Unlike most modern children, these three boys were quiet and reserved during the ride, except to exclaim to one another and to point out seemingly miraculous lights to their teacher. They exclaimed with delight t every passing object, and were doubly pleased when the conduct or returned, after Dawsey Atkinson had handed him the tickets, to invite them to inspect the train while traveling. But possibly the most exciting thing the boys had to relate was their fun when before leaving the station, a small bird flew into the car in which they were seated. Another might have been the royal purple colored train they gazed at with awe, as their train pulled away from the station. Explaining the reason the boys had never seen a train the teach er said that their parents are prominent residents of their res promineijt residents of their re spective communities, but the boys have always found other interests. What really got them started to FALSE TEETH LOWERS About 10 times as many people have trouble wearing lower sets as do those wearing uppers. For this reason a par ticularly powerful adhesive must be used, one MUCH STRONGER than or dinary ones. Such an adhesive is SUXION which is so saturated with gripping power that it is too FULL BODIED and SUBSTANTIAL to be squeezed from a tube and thus it will hold the loosest lower in far more rigidly, longer and with greater cushioned protection for the gums THAN ANY THING YOU HAVE EVER USED. You will eat and do as you wish and com pletely forget you are wearing false teeth. You are GUARANTEED that. So take a dentist's advice.

He apparently had been blown from the nearby home where his grandparents were killed. Highway patrolmen said the storm struck a swamp near the outskirts of Kinston and com pletely leveled a large section of trees.

MORE ABOUT ALONG THE CAPE FEAR FROM PAGE ONE fore one about a ship that burned up at Southport. Today we have enough phone-call notes on our desk to stagger sextil lions of secretaries. Considering that we have no secretary at all, the situation is something more than terrific. From where we sit, it appears that the ‘‘Shoo-Fly ’ was not the "Shoo-Fly'’ at all. It was the "Sand Fiddler. ’ Wr- have a hard enough time telling insecta from arth ropods in the botanical world, let alone the realm of the steam en gine So wh'ch was it? Was it the "Sand-Fiddler” or not? And if not, what was the "Sand-Fiddler" if there was one? And if it was the “Sand-Fiddler” what was the "Shco-Fly?” POSSIBLE AND PROBABLE — Further, we have four names for the ship which is supposed to have burned up at Southport—“Lily,” "Lilly,’ "Lillie,” and “Sylvan Grove.” The fact that this com bination sounds like a legal firm doesn't help us in the least. In fact, we can’t imagine how ‘‘Sylvan Grove” got into the sit uation at all. The “Lily-Lilly Lillie” combination seems to indicate a trend. One of them, we conclude, must be correct, if, indeed such a ship ever existed at all. Just as soon as we can get all our phone-notes deciphered we might be able to separate fact from fiction, if such a situation really exists. It s ’ust possible, you know, that the confusion (and hence the fic tion) exists entirely in our mind. Not cnlv possible but very very probable.

(2) Wilmington is about 100 miles closer to Bermuda than Charles ton. (3) The estimated flying-time between Wilmington and Bermuda is only about three hours, and the passenger-cost only about $30. Maximum Of Safety (4) The VHF (very high fre quency) radio range, slated to get under construction here in about 10 days with completion schedul ed some time in July, will provide a maximum of safety to the ocean going planes as they move in and out of the local field.

Colonial Airline’s move to get its route extended south is not new. About 10 years ago the line filed an application for the route with the Civil Aeronautics board. Air Association In support of Colonial, the At lantic Coastal Cities Air Service association—composed of Wilming ton, New Bern, Norfolk, Charles ton, and other southern cities—was organized by M. O. Dunning, Colo nial’s attorney. The Wilmington members were the late Bruce B Cameron, Sr., Harry Gardner, county commis sioner and airport authority mem ber; and R. B. Page, local publish er. The association fought strongly for Colonial. Other airlines also made application for the same route, however, and the CAB final ly awarded it to National Airlines, the line which now runs from Flori da to New York with a stop at Wilmington. The association gradually dis solved but Colonial kept up its bid for a route south of Washington, D.

Of that number 126 were Liberty ships with n average cost of $1,508,905 as op posed to the following rates: Per manente Metals Corp., Richmond, Calif., 489 ships, $1,715,578; J. A.

The estimate did not contain an account on costs of other types, including C-2’s, AKA's and other military types, and combination passenger-cargo ships such as those being completed here for the Grace Lines, Inc. Layup Basins Recommendations concerning the Wilmington yard and basin, and the West coast basins, also touched layup installations in the Neches river near Baumont, Tex., the Peggy laM^ basin, near Hous ton, Tex., and a temporary basin, not proposed as a permanent site, at Sausalito, Calif. Additional lay-up basins termed “temporary” in the commission report are facilities on the James river, near Norfolk, Va., Mobile bay, Mobile, Ala., and Suisan bay, near South San Francisco, Calif. 500 Employes That approximately 500 full time employes will be required to service and maintain the Bruns wick basin is indicated by the commission's request for an ap propriation sufficient to retain 1, 500 civil service employes on the three permanent lay-up basins. Tentatively, and pending con gressio-.al action on funds, the commission proposes to operate its lay-up program independently of its four permanent shipbuilding yards, it was learned by the Star Washington bureau yesterday. Federal Or Private The Star was informed by a commission spokesman that two propositions were under current consideration relative to operation of the shipyards: (1) place all personnel under federal civil ser vice; (2) operate the yards under contract to private contracters. Since its activation here, the Wilmington shipyard has been operated under commission con tract by the North Carolina Ship building company, a subsidiary of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock company of Newport News, Va. Maintenance Stressed Stressed as a necessity in the commission’s report to Congress, was the upkeep of suitable yards for the maintenance, repair and building of government-owned ves sels. On what scale these opera tions would be carried out was not specified in detail. The commission did. however, point out that it proposed to put 3,000 ships in storage for ready reserve purposes by the end of 1947. By December 31 it was plan ned to have 1,000 surplus ships laid away in permanent and tem porary basins. Two thousand more would be added to complete the reserve merchant fleet by January 1, 1948. Included will be dry cargo ships, tankers, training ships, pas senger ships, and tugs. The commision report indicated hat the first 400 vessels for the lew merchant marine reserve leet will be towed from the James -iver temporary lay-up basin to Wilmington within the next few months. All of the laying up, both tem jorary and permanent, will be done )y Maritime commission em )loyes. It was estimated that 3, !46 man-years of work would be reeded to perform the primary pre servative work on the ships. Rough y half of the $15,600,000 fund—or 57,607,368—is earmarked for “per sonal services,” of which $2,250 424 is for primary lay-up and $2, 702,392 for complete lay-ups, $4, 952,816 together; $229,868 is for supervisory force and $2,424,694 for fleet-service force. Also $3,020, 900 is allowed for acquiring heavy equipment such as tugs, launches and barges, and $2,400,000 is al lotted for towing the four hundred ships from the James river to Wilmington at $6,000 each. Being partly dismantled, these ships will be towed because it will be uneconomical to reassemble machinery to get them to the per manent site under tneir own power, spokesman said. Competi tive bidding on the towage con tract is about four months away. Wilmington's permanent site will provide a basin in virtually salt free water of the Brunswick river. Influencing the commission choice of the Wilmington site were a number of factors: its location in “an important shipping, ship building and repair area, away from any great national strategic centers and reasonably secluded; soil and water conditions which will create economical inclosed storage and provide excellent pro tection from theft; location free from severe temperature condi tions; water with a minimum of salt content and free of destructive chemicals and acids; elements which control preservation of the ship's hull; absence of contamina tion of the air from industrial cen ters which would speed deteriora tion of paint and above water structures.” Questioned by the bureau, a mari time commission spokesman said the reserve fleet site will have no connection with the future develop ment of the shipyard, which is completing its last construction I contract !

Krug expressed hope that the miners “will stay at work and I hope we can find the basis for agreement that will keep the work ers on the job.” He said that whatever contract eventually is worked out must com ply with the government’s wage price policy.
