mend the stand of Judge Walnaland
with regard to the opedot
machines and pinboards in
county and we hope to see
?ful in his efforts to drive out
ml machine now in operation
ceks ago when three cases
before him the counsel for the
??
fiscated machines bore a state license and
a county license. "Why should the state
and county take this man's money with
one hand and turn right around with the
other and arrest him," Attorney S. B.
Frink querried?
And that sounds like a pretty sensible
question until you begin to investigate
both the mechanical and personal element lc
in the operation of the machines. Evi- k
dence was brought out showing that one Cl
of the machines paid off in cash to sue- w
cessful players, while the other two had fi
their pay-off system conducted by an b,
operator in charge of the establishment. f(
It was plain to Judge Stanaland that
the sole purpose of these machines was to
intrigue the public into playing them with 0
money in the hope of gaining more money 0
if the mechanism turned up a paying w
combination. Once convinced that the t(
g
fundamental principal underlying their r(
operation was a game of chance, Judge n
Stanaland then ignored the fact that tl
some revenue mad employee of the state L
had seen fit to allow these machines to n
be licensed, and applid to them the same
penalty to their operators that would be | a
meted out to participants in a crap game, k
at
Judge Stanaland has handed the gam- ai
ing boards the gauntlet, and if the law ?
enforcement officers will back him up by a
bringing in the machines with the evi- t<
dence, he is going to fix it so you can Cl
send your boy to the store or to a filling si
station on an errand and not have his
youthful mind tormented with a brightly
lighted invitation to double his money. ,

Creating Jobs J

looms as a hopeful aspect in the unemployment
situation. Especially among
young people does the "pioneering spirit"
enter into job thinking, if results in a recent
NYA sponsored job-creation contest
in IllinQis are typical of youth of the
nation. Maxine Davis summarizes its results
in the current Rotarian Magazine.
Initiative and ingenuity were ingredients
in prize-winning ideas. For example,
Myrtis Pauline Rose, of Maunie, discovered
the need people have for birth certifi- ,
cates, and for a small sum handles the
technicalities., of getting them for clients.
Turning his Nature hobby into the busi- ^
ness of supplying such items as frogs, b
cray-fish, and earthworms to high school ^
biological laboratories brought Mitro Pel- ai
3.(
lock, of Benld, a prize and a good in- 0
come.
d)
Two brothers in Rockford, aged 17 and w
16, opened a shoppers' service in their o\
town. They have a crew of boys with
bicycles who do any errand for 10 cents. ec
Operated with strict efficiency, it has ?|
proved a profitable venture. b'
Tricky inventions of potential commer- ai
cial value put other ingenious lads above cc
the job-hunting class. August Mazzone,
of Chicago, devised a transparent rubber
band to fit over wrist watches and protect
them from water while swimming or
washing dishes.
William Harris, of Urbana, has developed
a new idea in T squares which may
give him a good income. Dave Daer in
vented a right-angular insteaci 01 a rouna
thumbtack for drawing boards which has j
profit possibilities. i
As novel in its way, continues Miss f
Davis, is the idea of several Chicago boys J
who rented a vacant 1? -t near a high i
school and "park" bicycles for 2c a day. '
State N. Y. A. Administrator William \
J. Campbell, serving on a volunteer basis ]
since his recent appointment as district ?
attorney in Chicago, is pleased with the v
results because they prove that American
youth still has individual ideas.
"We have a pessimistic older genera- ?
tion which has talked hard times so long m
the youngsters are licked before they of
start," he says. "All the boys and girls ^
hear is that security is the pot of gold at w
the end of the rainbow. Security! American
youth has never had security. The ^
genius of the American people has always w
been in the insecurity of its people. I cannot
conceive of normal, natural American ^
youth without the spirit of adventure." W;

RUMORS OF CLUB HOUSE
It is being strongly rumored
that officials of the North Carolina
Bottlers Association will
"stahlish a eluli house at South
port; a place where members j
nid their families may gather j
it will and enjoy hunting and |
Fishing. Since there are bottling
works in almost all of the sizible
towns, and the operators
>f these plants are nearly all
members of the association, a
lull house gives promise of being
very important. On the
whole, we believe that Brunswick
offers the most centrally
located point of any place on 1
the North Carolina coast for
?uch an undertaking. Incidently,
there is another large or- i
ganization that is seeking the
same thing, ample area for a j
rig summer colony at South- |<
port and with expectations of
keeping the place open the year
round. i

NO MOOSE IN BRUNSWICK
While visiting his fishing estab- i
shment last week, our good :
iend Andrew Parker of Gause i
each, sought to establish the :
onderful hunting possibilities of i
lis county by bringing out the
itlers of a huge Maine or Can- 1
Jian moose. They were better ]
lah five feet in length and ]
eighed around 30 pounds. An- i
rew was a bit crestfallen when <
e maintained that the original; ]
vner of that pair of antlers
;ver roamed the woods of ,
runswick. He finally compromis- j
1 on the situation by bringing
it the headpiece of a 5-prong, j
!-snag deer that was accepted
! the cameraman as having been j
i authentic resident of this ,
mnty.
? ? * ?
FEW SIGNS OF FIRE
A person can sometimes drive
'or a full hundred miles in
Jrunswick without seeing more
:han one or two places where
here are any evidence of forest
ires having passed that way
n three years or so. At some
daces there may have been
turning of a little undergrowth,
nit it occurred at times when
he flames did not effect the
nore sturdy trees. On every
land young pine trees are
growing lustily and providing a
valuable crop for the future.
Jrunswick, with 82 per cent of
ts area classed as woodland,
s growing a tremendous crop
if young trees. Our guess is
hat there are few, if any,
and owners who do not rejoice
it the sight of the flourishing
voodlands. ,
? * ? ?
NOT RECONCILED
We are far from being reconled
at the persistence of the
:ate Highway Commission in
aking a dead end at Orton out
the River Road, which runs
om Southport through the old
ilonial plantation to the Brunsick
River bridge. Tourists who
i by the road maps are given
ie idea that the only way to
ach Orton is to go around by
'ilmington; and the only way to
:t away from Orton is to go
ick to Wilmington. Oh. well,
me day maybe, the State Highay
Commission will pave the ]
iver Road and will then show it (
r its real entire length?from ]
luthport to the Brunswick River (
idge.

A NATURAL RIDER
When it comes to horseback
iding Brother Christian, youngst
son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Christian, Is, to our mind, the
nost natural rider in Southlort.
He handles them in a
ray that probably Inspires a bit
if envy on the part of the
ictual owners. Certainly none
if them, so far as we can
ee, can ride with the same
toise with which Brother
Christian sits his borrowed.

last Friday by the home
agent and the following girls
from Brunswick: Mary Lewis,
Shallotte school; Mary Francis
Dodson, Waccamaw school; Elizabeth
Lewis, Bolivia school; and
Elnora Gainey, Leland school.
This revue was most colorful and
the girls will have inspiring reports
and suggestions to pass on
to the other club members at
their respective meetings this
month.
Meat Canning
Winter and the meat canning
season are just around the corner.
I want to pass on to you the
information sent out bv our ex
tension specialist in food conservation
and marketing, Mrs. Cornelia
C. Morris, of Raleigh:
Equipment And Supplies
Pressure cookers only should
be used in canning meats. Other
methods are not safe. Have all
equipment and supplies in order
the day before canning is to be
done. Equipment needed will be
sharp knives, good jars, new rubber
rings, dish pans, meat fork,
measuring spoons, measuring cup,
two shallow pans, a frying pan,
stove, table and a pressure cooker.
Have also a supply of hot and
cold water, dish towels, soap,
matches, salt and pepper.
Canning Meats
1. Select fresh, clean meat and
discard surplus fat. Chill poultry
from 6 to 12 hours, pork 24
hours and beef 48 hours before
canning.
2. Meat for canning may be
packed into the jars either raw
or partially cooked. The processing
time will be the same in
either case but it will take the
raw meat longer to reach the
desired pressure.
3. Pre-cooking may be done
by searing the meat in fat, by
partially roasting it, or by parboiling.
Meat to be canned should
not be cooked more than half
done. It should not be seasoned
before cooking.
4. Cut meat into pieces of
convenient size for packing and
pack loosely into hot sterilized
jars. Arrange the pieces to allow
for heat penetration. This applies
to both seared and raw
meats. Salt is added in the same
proportion to all meats. Two level
teaspoonfuls to each quart. Pepper
may be added sparingly if desired.
5. Sausage, liver, fried chicken
and fish should be packed
dry. All other pre-cooked meats
should be covered with broth or
vith diluted pan gravy to improve
flavor. Leave one half inch
bead space to prevent loss of
iquid.
6. Do not add liquid to meat
.vhich is packed raw as the processing
will draw out enough
iquid to cover the product.
7. Wipe off the rim of jars
lo remove grease. Grease causes
the rubber rings to disintegrate.
Adjust the jar tops or caps and
partially seal to permit exhaustng.
Place the jars in the canner
mmediately and process.
8. Process both cooked and
aw meats 60 minutes at 15
pounds pressure. Process fish 90
ninutes at 10 pounds pressure.
fx ACTION NOW
The North Carolina Fox Hunters
Association is holding one of
its annual meets this week, Robeson
county furnishing the setting.
It is reported that there is
i huge assemblage of sportsmen
ind dogs. Some of these hunters
and dogs will come to Southport
a little later in the year and it is
hoped that conditions will be such
that next year's big meet can
be staged here.
