Wilmington, because of the prorni- nent part it ilayed during the war, not onlt after the entry of the Fnited States, but during the entire struggle, cannot afTord now to inp-e into its pre-war pace and take, so to -peak, a bark seat If ilmington is to continue to forge ahead its indict rial life, the citizens of Wilmington must set their minds to the task of making Wilmington a letter and bigger city than ever before. all have dreams of a greater Wilmington but those dreams can never come true unless we ourselves endeavor to make them a fact present stumbling block to the growth of Wilmington is its lack of a port.

Wilmington needs this fiort and Wilmington is logically located to become, a great commercial port. With the proposed port built Wilmington must grow even beyond the fondest dreams of her citizens. Are we then to continue to weigh and ponder this issue in time to come as we have in the past or with completed plans before us and a knowledge of its tost and understanding as we do what it will mean to Wilmington are we going to get back of it and see it through? "It is true there are other bodies in Wilmincton having, with ua. a similar thought to make Wilmington all that it should be, but we cannot afford to sit back and let '('forge do it'. It'o up to us.

Shall we not, aa Kiwanians, take ourselves a direct interest in this and other important local affairs? Xow is the time when wc should put forth every effort To Inake it. Wilmington all we want it to What I would particularly bring to vonr attention todav is the m-eat. nl of Wilmington for a oublie auditorium in which to hold public receptions, public Dans, mass meetings, community sines and the like from time to time. il-j mingfon is behind lie times in that it has no public building of this kind. I believe that the Stair- legislature appro-; priated two year? aco a substantial sum for the i-reetion of a Wilmington armorv and that this bill provided that the State funds would be available when a like-or greatt amount was raise by the itizens of Wilmington.

I would suggest that a committee of members of this club be appointed to immediately investigate the status of this appropriation, and ascertain what plans have been made. to carry out the provisions of the bill for constructing this building, and if the. matter is progressing satisfactorily, then let us co-operate in seeing that it is pushed to a lirJs but if no plana are under way then let the club get back of the project and endeavor to push it through. "Are we going to ak our boys who have been fighting for us over there and who will soon return to again take up their quarters in an old and out-of-date armory Cr shall we show them that during their abeence we've planned and started a home that will be a rcdit to our community and one which we can fairly ask the l-oys who prepare themselves in times of peace to defend their country in tiinea of war to take up aa their drill home. It too may be made to answer as a community centre, and be iise-d for conventions and other gatherings that Wilmington cannot now induce to visit our city." SLND IN HMD CROSS SEW ING.
