PAGE 2 ~ ~ THE STATE PORT PILOT _ Southport, N. G. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY JAMES M. JIARPER, JR., Edjftr Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, a the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the act of March 3, 1879. Subscription Rates ONE YEAR J1.& BIX MONTHS 10 XHREB MONTHS - .71 Wednesday, June 2nd, 1937 Suntan may be pretty, but it surely i painful?in its early stages. Sometimes it is an awful temptation t stick a verbal pin into a human windbag A man who earns a living by the swoa ,of his brow usually believes that al white-collar men are parasites. During the first stage of seasicknes the victim usually feels like he is going t die; a few minutes later his only fear i that he may not die. For a better understanding of some o the difficulties which confront an edito we recommend the article "I Want T See The Editor," which appeared in recent issue of The Saturday Evenin Post. I Congratulations We congratulate our neighboring cit of Wilmington upon her fine, new posl office building, which was opened wit elaborate dedicatory ceremonies Satui I day. Erected upon the site of the old posi office, this new postal terminal is an a' tractive building of red-brick constructio which will provide more spacious'quai ters and will otherwise facilitate the hai dling of Wilmington's increasing volum of mail. The erection of this postoffice buih ing is a step made in time with the marc of progress. J Camp Ground The camp ground which was cleare off last fall seems to fall under the hen L of unfinished business. Provision should be made to make coi tact with electric power; the same pn vision should be made for water suppl; The roadway to the camp should be in proved, and markers showing the locatic la of the camp grounds should be erected Tn mnnv citizens it mav appear th; there is being overmuch said about tl camp. Residents of the waterfront, hov ever, know that it is desirable to have or central camp-site. We don't know, but v also are of the opinion that the campei will be glad to have a place to themse ves. Contact Man The party-boat business can be impro ft ed in South port by the organization of boatman's club with one man as its actn head. Through organization, the boatme Jp will be able to contact more prospect and to provide improved service whentl parties arrive. They can require that r ij!J]l servations be made in advance, and wi (Pj thereby know what to figure on in tl ; way of business. The visiting fisherman, too, has a poi I to gain from such an arrangement. Tl secretary of the organization could gi' information regarding tides, weather co ditions, etc. The latter is particular ii portant, for it always is poor business allow a party to travel from distant pla es only to discover upon arrival th weather conditions make fishing impc See Your Dentist It is indeed unfortunate that the ethi of their profession make it impossible f doctors of dental surgery to advertn make contacts and otherwise solicit bu 11 ess. It is a natural human failing to pi crastinate; and while most of us usual can find time to do the things we wa to do, a trip to the dentist's office usual is pretty far down the list of our pref< ences. It is neglect and delay that turn mill dental work into serious business for bo dentist and patient. A small cavity fill now may save an extraction next yes T1 .An examination of your teeth and gums * now may save all of your teeth which " may be endangered by conditions about which you are blissfully ignorant. In our opinion, the puppet show 1 brought to Brunswick county schools this i spring was one of the finest attempts ever -Jundertaken to show children the impor-j + tance of oral hygiene. That movement,! jj we understand, was state-wide. We sug-' 5 gest that as soon as the state has been - covered for the school children these same people start back over their old route making a special appeal this time; i to the older folks who are neglecting a i very important factor in their continued igood health. ' It Can Happen Here s Last week we launched in The Pilot a campaign which we hope will be instrumental in controlling the spread of ven0 ereal diseases in Brunswick county. At any , rate, we hope that it will put a stop to the exposure of innocent children to malt adies which will permanently blight their 1 lives. We refer to the state law requiring house servants to have health permits. The recent case of the little Charlotte child was referred to in the article in last s week's paper. Since then we have learned 0 of a similar incident which occurred sev- m s eral years ago in a nearby South Carolina th city where a child in a prominent family Di contracted a serious venereal disease. ar f The child was carried to an eye spec r ialist, who made an examination and de- Wi o termined that gonorrhea was causing the oi a trouble. Informed of the diagnosis, the ar g parents of the child were furious and threatened to remove the child from the i care of the physician. Tests were posi-j tive, and the evidence was indisputable. Investigation revealed the fact that a nursemaid in charge of the child was car : lying an active case of a contagious social disease. The reaction of the average reader to " facts like these is that while the cases, are regrettable, they cannot happen here. But they can; and it is only through an ^ act of providence that these two cases II have not had their counterpart in Southr" port. i 1 Change Of Heart j" When the proposal to increase the " membership of the Supreme Court was iM first made, it was widely believed, by the t* 1 bill's opponents as well as backers, that ^ lit would be endorsed in the Senate by a'jt handsome majority. 0 Today, the most authoritative surveys ?' fi * 7 ^ bi " and estimates indicate that the majority ti i in favor of the bill is extremely slim? 1_ two or three votes. A number of senators originally believed to be for it have re- j ^ cently come out in opposition. 1_ What has caused this change? Several III elements are involved?but the most im portant of all is the force of public opin-l ^ ion. It is no secret that every congress-J ie man's mail has bulged with letters dis- j v~ cussing the proposal, and that the male jority has opposed it. The metropolitan j 'e and rural press is overwhelmingly oppos-| rs ed. So are most of the nation's most res' 1 1 ?t J - _ i 1 ; D pecieci ponucai anu ecuuumn; CUII1IHCIH.CV- ^ tors. tt More and more, partisanship is disap- tt pearing in regard to packing the high j? court. The people and their representav tives are realizing that here is one of the a most vital issues the country has yet fac'e ed, and that it must be debated on grounds of principle, not politics. That is >n a heartening sign. s, A Yankee is a person who thinks e~ that a cured ham is an actor who got 111 well, le ^ Americans are thrifty people. Now )e they're even conserving the daylight by means of Daylight Saving Time. n n.

Just Among | The Fishermen (BY W. B. KEZIAH) | 4* Fishermen Seems to be essential that ' at least one doctor should be included in every fishing party that comes from up state. Doctors are good sports and as a usual thing they are the 1 very best fishermen. But we have an idea that when a lot of the fishing parties are forming, the organizers feel that they may get seasick and, j j accordingly, they bring a | doctor. That is alright, the doctors should be brought 1 along, but if you bring them as a possible preventive of seasickness you are pretty apt to grow pale around the :i gills before your boat crosses ' the bar. The more you think of it and how to avoid it the more likely you are to be a victim. Among Thursday's fishing parties from Goldsboro were Dr. L. J. Harrell, Dr. C. F. Strosnider, James Crawford and George Harrell. Localized We had never heard of Bahaa except in relation to the isnd or group of islands out in e Atlantic until Thursday, when r. J. E. Patrick, J. F. Capps id M. P. Sanford stated they sre from Bahama. They eluci ited by saying' tmu Manama is in Durham county. W. G. iver, Jr., of Yanceyville. was nong this fishing party. Seamen Drs. F. P. Summers and K. Ginter, Charlotte chemists. are good sports and much better fishermen. They come to Southport often and they go fishing when they do come. Once some years ago we remember their coming in the middle of a fair sized hurricane, the nearest to such things that Southport ever has. They went fishing. Thursday, with other boats turning back because of choppy seas, the two Charlotte boys and Capt. Hulen Watts went rolling on and did not come back until late in the afternoon. And they brought a good catch with them. Red Bugs "Chiggers" are beginning to eate some uneasiness in the linds and restlessness of the Klies of freswater fishermen. At lis time of the year it apepars lat the only way to avoid them to get your car to within six j imps of your boat and make lose jumps in one. Strolling ong a stream or around the inks of a pond is not conducve to peace of mind the next iyGood Lurk Three HOLC men, Charles Neal, Harris Langdon and Fred Upchurch, all of Greensboro. took a try at the trout, blues and mackerel here Saturday. They went out on the Hulen Watts boat in company with James 1 Thompson, Jr., Mr. Thomp son reports uicii uicy lau^m. the very nice total of 150 large fish, mostly trout and blues. Drum Fishing Former state auditor, Baxter urham, has been here the past eek and from this information le reader may rest assured that1 le drum over at Bald Head ismd and on Corncake Inlet suf;red a lot. Satisfied The boat of Captain H. T. ) Bowmer has been doing exceptionally well this spring. His parties have all been satisfied and some of them have returned to port in a very jubilant state of mind. A nice little catch of 70 large fish was made from the Bowmer craft Saturday. The fishermen were J. C. Brooks and O. S. Thomas, both of the Standard Oil Company at Monroe. Mr. Brooks left orders with the Civic Club for a telegram to be sent him if the fish ever got to biting better than they were Saturday. Visitors Charlotte has been sending a >t of parties in to have a go at le trout and blues. It has been ard to keep up with them and rith other parties from all about be state. A nice bunch of feljws, Richard Bradshaw, C. I. ones, Jr., Ed and George Kempsn, C. H. Ellison, Jno. L. Beal, tobin Kirby and Jno. J. Moron were calling for their favrite home paper early Thursday norning. We missed them on heir return from outside and ave no report on the catch they nade. large Party J. Irving Corbett, of Wilmington, and his yacht the Loafalong, has the honor of carrying out the biggest fishing party from Southport yet this year. There were about 40 in the party and they had a grand and glorious time, making a good catch to take home and show the folks.
