Locust St. Wilmington IRV DICK BOB The desire to see a job through is a commendable trait. Some folks, however, take a dim view that the stick-to-itiveness which sometimes drives a determined person to success in the face of staggering odds is a slowly, but surely, disappearing quality with the modern generation. pessimistic souls can These, heart, however, at the singular fortitude displayed by a New York gentleman, named Ed Cantine, who has' proved that all is not. lost; that determination-the old college spirit, so to speak-still flourishes on the Western continent.

It seems that during a recent 92 mile river motorboat race this man's boat lost two needle valves, suffred a broken throttle and ran out of add to his misery, he lost his helmet and discovered that his crew pit was elsewhere on the river when needed.

Courage and hope and a great faith have sustained her through an illness of many months not an or- dinary illness but one that would break the spirit of lesser souls, and today she is better, "much better," she says. Easter was happy for her because she was able to visit with her friends, to enjoy the companionship of her family and to see in the flowers and gifts showered upon her the love of a good God, in whom her faith is centered. Her, ready smile and sense of humor, together with her innate kindness, have always been her outstanding characteristics. Even in times of great sorrow, she has been able to summon the smile that has meant so much to every. one she met.

Among her associates in the Rebekah Lodge in which she was active, her church circles and in the business where she has been employed for several years, she is a favorite. No one stands higher than she in all these groups and as she gains in strength these friends rejoice, knowing that it has been her own courage, her own faith and her own hope that have brought her surcease from pain. Through all of her suffering, she has never plained, in fact she always maintains a pleasant smile, a cheery word and a sympathetic interest in others.

Mrs.

W. G. Muntean presented. the program, which concerned prisons, the topic being "Who Are the Guilty." She opened with prayer, and with the assistance of sev. eral members, told of the ways that prisons could be improved.

There should be better buildings, a good personnel trained in helping the prisoners; there should be a rehabilitation program and work should be provided, she said. She also pointed out that "men should be sent to prison for punishment, but not to be punished. Recreation is important. We should know our courts as we do our schools. People should sit in on court proceedings and know what is going on and also lend Christian support." A letter was read from a girl called Jane, who had spent time in prison and while there had found God.

After she left the prison, she became a missionary. Mrs. Muntean told of the new prisons being built that have no bars or walls, and said that "we should realize the prisoners are men and should be treated as such. Mrs. Muntean had invited Mrs.

Mulberry St. Weapons Giving Army Stiff Problem WASHINGTON (P) New weapons--atomic cannon, guided missiles, rockets--are giving the Army firepower undreamed of not many years ago but they also are creating serious problems in the already intricate business of running an orderly, efficient battle.

These are among the problems to be worked on in maneuvers, involving 100,000 Army and air men, starting this week in the Carolinas. They are the first big-scale exercises involving the firing or simulated use of new weapons. Deciding what weapons to shooting at what target has been a source of argument even with conventional artillery and aircraft. The advent on the battlefield of "artillery" that can range out scores or hundreds of miles and has a much greater demolition radius is compounding the problem. The Army's new 280mm cannon, which like the Corporal missile or the Honest John heavy rocket fires either atomic or conventional explosive, is an example.

The approximately 11-inch gun has a maximum range of about 30 crayfish miles. Under present organization, red the gun is considered artilcopper lery."
