NON-STOP ONIONBALL — A
snowball rolls downhill by the force
of gravity. The Cape Fear onion
ball is propelled by a combination
of forces—Carl Rehder, the schools’
teachers apd principals, the prizes,
and, most of all, by the age-old love
Df children to put things into the
loil and watch them grow.
Mr. Rehder says he has never
seen so much garden-enthusiasm—
and so many onions — in his life.
But the really wonderfully part
about the whole affair is that the
children are branching out in their
gardening. Onions are fine, sure,
but why stop there?
The onionball hasn’t stopped
there. We know it hasn't because
we have received a letter from a
little girl.

AND TURNIPS, TOO—"I go to
Sunset Park school,” this letter
says, "and l would like very much
to win some of those baby chicks
offered as prizes in the ‘Onion
Derby.*
“I have already planted my on
ions and they are coming up fine.
I have also planted okra, spinach,
eggplants, peppers, turnips, beans,
peas, beets, and tomatoes.
‘‘I planted a flower garden also
. . . pinks, zinnias, snapdragons,
and sweetpeas.
‘‘We were all very much pleased
when our principal, Mrs. Shuffler,
told us about this Onion Derby’
started by Mr. Rehder.
“This is the first time I have
ever planted a garden.

CORNUCOPIA—Well, there you
are, folks. When that onionball fin

idea it will have all the dimensions
of a giant cornucopia — that tre

flowing with the good fruits of the
earth.
And it couldn’t overflow at a
more propitious time than right
now, when over 500,000,000 people
are starving to death in Europe.
If the Cape Fear onionball can

March 13 Pravda published an
interview quoting him as calling
Winston Churchill a “warmonger’-’,
and accusing Churchill of trying to
inflame a war against Russia.)
He said he attached “great im
portance” to the United Nations
organization and added that “it
will unquestionably play a great
and positive role in guaranteeing
universal peace and security” if
it succeeds in preserving the prin
ciple of “equality of states.”
Letter To Stalin
My letter to Stalin began:
“In view of the many questions
being asked in various parts of the
world and the anxiety being ex
pressed over keeping the peace,
may I respectfully address several
questions to you?”
This introduction was followed
by three questions which are quoted
below togther with Stalin’s an
swers.
Question: “What importance dc
you attach to the United Nations
organization as a means of pre
serving world peace?”
Answer: 'I attach great import
ance to the United Nations organi
zation as it is a serious instru
ment for the preservation of peace
and international security. The
strength of this organization con
gists in that it is based on the
principle of equality of states and
not on the principle of the domina
tion of one state over others. Ii
j the United Nations Organization
i succeeds in preserving in the future
this principle of equality it will
unquestionably play a great anc
positive role in guaranteeing uni
versal peace and security.”
Current Fear
Question: “What in your opinior
is responsible- for the current feai
of war felt by many peoples ir
many lands?”
Answer: “I am convinced tha‘
neither the nations nor their arm
ies are seeking another war. They
desire peace and are endeavoring
to secure peace. This means tha'
the ‘current fear of war’ is no
being caused by this side. I thin!
that the ‘present fear of war’ i:
being brought about by the action;
of certain political groups engagec
in the propaganda of a new wai
and by these means sowing seec
of discord and uncertainty.”
Question: “What should the g0v
ernments of the freedom lovinj
countries do at the present timi
to preserve the peace and tran
quility of the world’” ^
Talk Against War
Answer: “It is necessary f0
public opinion and the rulin;
circles of all states to organiz
a wide counter-propaganda agains
these advocates of a new war an
to secure the peace so that not i
single action on the part of th
advocates of new wars pass with

have musty scripts of ancient
military and labor censuses.
Fill Acres
And the Romans, who invented
the word, took enough censuses to
fill acres of archives.
To get closer to home, we see
that the first United States census
was started in 1790.
And now, right here in Wilming
ton, the very latest and the most
modern census of all time is about
to start enumerating itself.
Complete Picture
This census will not only tabu
late every living soul, from Grand
pa .to Junior, in Wilmington but
also paint a complete and compre
hensive picture of housing facili
ties, labor skills and the general
economic mechanism of the city.
ThuS, when finished, the census
will give a panorama of the entire
city of Wilmington without a sin
gle detail missing.
With such a detailed canvas to
study, it will be possible to fore
cast just what will happen in Wil
mington’s effort to become a mod
ern industrial city. If the results
ef the census show what civic
leaders expect them to show, Wil
mington’s future as a modern in
dustrial city is virtually assured.
Hustling City
Because the census is expected
to reveal Wilmington as a progres
sive, expanding city with better
’ than-average housing and, best of
; all. a tremendous amount of skill
‘ ed labor.
* i-ivic leaders predict that when
1 large industries see the results of
: the census they will realize what
• an ideal industrial community
- Wilmington is.
■ And what will happen from, then
- on is self-evident.
1 Building Staff
1 Meanwhile, William B. Pour*
nelle, director of the census, is
rapidly building up his staff in
the Woodrow Wilson hut. He ex
pects to have all 125 of his helpers
ready to go into action about April
So, come April 1, the old story
of the census will lie unfolded
again and a new chapter added.
And the new chapter promises
to be the best one in the book.

RURAL TRAINING
ASKED BY CHERRY
Governor Advocates Ex
pansion Of Agricul
tural Training
SCOTLAND NECK, March 22.—
(JP)—Governor Cherry told a farm
youth banquet here Friday night
that to safeguard the state’s agri
cultural future, “we must place
more emphasis on training young
rural youth for dealing in farm
problems.”
He spoke to more than 700 mem
bers of Future Farmer clubs in 17
counties in the Eoanoke-Chowan
district.
Mechanization
Because of the rapid progress
being made toward mechanization
in agriculture, the governor said,
“we must equip our present voca
tional agriculture farm shops to
teach the care and repair of farm
machinery. The successful farm
in the future is going to be mod
ernized,” he said.
“Not a large per cent of the men
who operate the farms of the fu
ture are going to be college train
ed. The training fbr this job must
be provided either through the de
partments of vocational agricul
ture in the high schools, or through
area vocational schools designed
and equipped to carry the student
one or two years beyond the reg

the degree of readiness to accept
Stalin's wrods at face value.
One extreme was represented by
Representative Andrews (R-N. Y.),
ranking minority member of the
House Military committee, who
said:
"It is a pretty good statement but
it doesn’t mean much. A lot of
words.”
Senator Capper (R-Kas.) went
farther than most of the lawmak
ers in the other direction:
Encouraging
“That is a very encouraging and
satisfactory statement on the part
of Mr. Stalin. I believe it is a
valuable contribution to the cause
of world peace. We should not
raise a question of good faith un
til we know differently. Mr. Stal
in has gone on record and I don’t
believe he will go back on it. The
Russians show signs of getting
away from a war program and
we should encourage them.”
While officials and Congressmen
studied Stalin’s comments, Soviet
Ambassador Andrei A. Gromyko
made an unheralded call on Presi
dent Truman, but Charles Ross,
White House press secretary, said
it was only a courtesy visit.
“Don’t Think So”
After his talk with the President,
which lasted only five minutes,
Gromyko was asked if they had
discussed the UNO and the Securi
ty Council meeting opening Mon
day in New York.
“I don’t think so,” the ambas
sador replied.
Mr. Truman made it clear Thurs
day that this country will block the
Russian proposal to postpone the
Security Council meeting for 16
days while Russia prepares its de
fense to a complaint from Iran
against continued presence of Rus
sian troops in that country. It
would require unanimous consent
to put off the meeting and this
country will not agree.
In that connection, Secretary of
State Byrnes disclosed that he will
sit on the Security Council as
American representative during
consideration of the Russian-Iran
ian dispute. Through Michael Mc
Dermott, department press officer,
Byrnes said he would be at the
council table only during discus
sion of “the Iranian case” and
would not replace Edward R. Stet
tinius, Jr., regular U. S. repre
sentative.

No Significance
A reporter pointed out that the
original announcement of the tests
had come from the Navy and in
quired if there were any signifi

ponement was announced from the
Whit? House.
Ross replied that everybody
seemed to want something from
the President. Smiling, he com
mented that White House tele
phones had been pretty busy since
the first reports of the delay came
out early in the evening.
Nothing was said by Ross as to
the source of the postponement
idea.
It was apparent that the decision
was somewhat abrupt, since
“Operation Crossroads” officers
had held a news conference only
Friday to give reporters a few ad
ditional technical details on plans.
At that-time they were proceeding
on the assumption that the experi
