TWO THE STATE PORT PILOT Southport, N. G. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY JAMES M. HARPER, JR., Editor ntered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, at the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the act of March 3, 1879. Subscription Rates ONE YEAR 1150 BIX MONTHS 100 THRF3 MONTHS .75 NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION 19 3 6- (fvg -MrvnfRWednesday, September 2, 1936 He who hesitates is bossed. Small boy's version of a lie: A sin in the eyes of the Lord and his Sunday school teacher, but an ever present aid in time of trouble. It is a commendable fact that not once during the two tournaments that have been played on the local courts this summer has there been any evidence of poor sportsmanship on the part of the players. __________ mk - I Air Base Following agitation begun two weeks ago to interest Coast Guard officials in the possibility of establishing an air base at Fort Caswell, several letters of encouragement have been received by local citizens. There is no assurance that the base will be located here, in fact, no appropriation has been made for its establishment anywhere. There is a note of encouragement, in knowing that when definite action is taken, Southport will be given due consideration. Regular Attendance As Brunswick county schools open tomorrow for the new year, parents and students are cautioned not to under estimate the value of attending school the first day and being present every day; thereafter. The first consideration, of course, is the value resulting for the student. Regular attendance naturally is a help in doing good work. When a boy or a girl misses a day of school, a vital unit in the year's work has been lost. Another important fact is that teachers are alloted schools on the basis of at-' tendance. Sometimes over-crowded condi-J tions must be endured all year when reg-: ular attendance on the part of students enrolled would have been sufficient to secure an extra teacher. Don't let your child miss a single day from school if you can possibly help it. ? Fall Sports So far, Brunswick county has escaped the softball craze that has swept the country this summer, but we are offering a suggestion which we hope will put an end to this immunity. We believe that an interesting rivalry can be built up between the five consolidated high schools of the county this fall if softball teams are chosen to represent each school. Since none of them have football teams, there would be no conflict with other sports. Anyone who believes softball is just a game for sissies just doesn't know. About the only difference in softball and regulation baseball is in the equipment and the speed of the game. Softball is much faster, and therefore more interesting to the average action-loving fan. All the equipment absolutely necessary for a softball team is a bat, ball and mask. In most cases players do not use gloves and mitts. Further needs in this line could be taken care of in each school as the occasion demands. There must be something to this game or more than a million men and boys would not have been playing it all sum mer. We believe that a five team league running in this county for the next eigh' weeks will do much to create a healthj interscholastic rivalry. Camp Site Needed The fame of Southport as a fisherman's paradise is spreading to all parts of the state and during the past few weeks many groups of campers have come dowr THE STATE for a day and night. We are afraid tha the impression that these people get o our town and its citizens is not flatter jing. In the first place, there are no facilitie i provided for campers. After traveling sev eral hundred miles to get to the water ithey naturally like to pitch their cam] on the waterfront. This means that the; must become over-night squatters in some one's front yard or in other close proxi mity to a private residence. Local citizens are inclined to resen their presence, and they are hardly to b< i blamed for this attitude. On the other hand, it is little more pleasant for th< j campers themselves to spend the nigh almost under some stranger's house. An attractive camp site with moderr tourist conveniences should be providec near Southport so that visitors here car be made to feel that they are welcome and that the people of the town woulc like for them to come back. This chang* in attitude would attract many more visitors to Southport. Valuable word-ofmouth advertising would result, not tc mention the increased business for local merchants. Protect Timber A few years ago a forest fire burned for eleven days in Oregon. It destroyed three hundred thousand acres of timber. According to an article in the Family Circle, the actual damage done was estimated as follows: "It wiped out six years of continuous employment for 14,000 woodsmen. "It reduced the tax income of one county by 43 per cent a year, or $400,000 "It robbed the lumber companies of timber with a potential value of $200,000,000. "It cost the general public five dollars for every dollar the lumber interests 1 J. > 9 * IU5U This was an unusually great forest fire. But every year, there are thousands of fires all over the nation whose cumulative total destruction greatly exceeds the holocaust described. Our average yearly loss for the entire country is 52,000,000 acres of woodland. Here is a problem that almost every citizen can help solve. Most of us at one time or another visit woods?and many of us, through either ignorance or carelessness, do things that are liable to cause fire. Careless disposal of cigarette butts and matches and improperly built camp fires are two prolific causes of forest holocausts. Most man-made fires begin froir something of this sort?and a modicuir of care would prevent them. Man is burning his forests faster thar nature can replace them. Do your part tc protect our irreplaceable and invaluable timber resources. Slow Down At Night Here is some worth-while advice tc motorists: As soon as darkness descends slow down pronto! In spite of the fact that the bulk o! cars are onerated almost entirelv during the day, well over half of all the fata accidents last year occurred at night Sixty-nine per cent of the victims wen pedestrians. And the death rate for th< evening rush hours was over 100 per cen' greater in winter than in summer, due t( darkness. Unconsciously or otherwise many motorists chronically "overdriv* headlights"? that is, they could no bring their cars to a stap within the ilium inated distance before them. And mor powerful lights are no cure for this? they produce glare, a potent cause o I head-on car crashes, and are justly illega in most states. The pedestrian, of course, is not wholl free from blame. It has been extensivel ' publicized that one should always wal on the left side of the highway, facin oncoming traffic?but a great man ! night-walkers apparently haven't hear the news yet. And many of them als don't seem to realize that to walk on ' dark highway wearing dark clothes is a ' invitation to the corner. Light reflectio " is an eccentric thing.?and a darklj 1 dressed pedestrian often can't be seen b the motorist until it is too late. 7 Thus, we need education for the pede; trian as well as for the auto driver. Bi in the meantime, the driver should tak every precaution?and even go to whs may seem ridiculous lengths?to operat 3 his car safely. After all, he is in comman i of a potentially lethal vehicle that litera s ly kills more men than does war. Don i take a chance! 7-7- -T -"77"' ^ PORT PILOT, SOUTHPORT, Personal S i !
