Southport To Get
Catholic Church
Father Howard Announces
That Construction Will
Begin On New Church
In Summer
Rev. F. J. Howard, rector of
the Sacred Heart Catholic chapel
in Whiteville announced during
the week end that a church similar
to the one which two years
ago was erected in Whiteville, is
being planned in Southport in the
near future.
Father Howard said that the
plans for the building which will
be a practical duplication of the
church here, are now being drawn
by J. H. Campen, Whiteville
architect, and that brick were being
placed on the lot in Southport
the latter part of the week.
The lot for the new church was
donated by Gus McNeill, and construction
is expected to start
sometime in the summer.
Puzzled?But
Not For Long
When W. B. Keztah of the
Brunswick County Chamber of
Commerce met the big cruiser
Sybil of New York here last Sunday
morning, he had some pleasing
news for the skipper.
He was looking at the Sybil
and puzzling. He remembered a
snow white Sybil. This one was
a beautiful mahogany. He was
scratching his head when the skipper,
Captain John Van Mill, slapped
him on the back and said:
"She is the same boat but we
used to have her painted white.

when I told you that you needed

CARNEGIE
Author of "How to Win
Friends and Influence
People."
DALE CARNEGIE speaks in
Whiteville on April 30th.
A few years ago an automobile |
manufacturer asked Charles F. \
Kettering to come to his factory
and make a study of a problem J
that no one had been able to j
| - ~ . --<! solve. You have
^ in^Uie^
you trade with or in your office.
He also developed ethyl. gasoline,
and Duco enamel.
When he arrived at the plant
Kettering found that the problem
the manufacturer wanted solved
proved to be a quicker way to
paint his automobiles. He told
Kettering he would take him
through the paint department
and show him all the details so
that he could find where some of
them could be improved.
"I don't want to know any details,"
said Kettering, which surprised
the man. What! not study
the details!
. . .
Kettering asked him how long
it took to send a car through the
paint shop.
Thirty-one days.
"How many days do you want
cut off?" Kettering asked him.
"Well, if you could cut of three
days I would be satisfied. That
would save me thousands of dollars.
But I warn you I have the
fastest and the mofct skillful
painters in the business. We consider
ourselves experts."
Kettering found this to be true.
Corners had been cut till absolute
efficiency had been achieved.
"Suppose I don't try to improve
your method at all, but
work out a new method", said
Kettering.
The manufacturer was blank.
'Tm afraid you're tackling the
impossible. There is no other
method."
"Well, there always is", said
Kettering.
Kettering called his staff together
and set the men to work
to find a new method. The first
decision they made was to change
the paint?get a faster drying
paint. The next step was not to
use paint brushes at all! The idea
might prove to be absurd, but it
was worth trying.
The men started in with the
two simple objectives. In no time
at all a fast-drying paint was
worked out. In fact, it dried so
fast that it stiffened the brushes,
and that was not practical. So

to get it on the cars. Then they I
plans for beautifying the main
road in this section.
Mrs. Marion Dosher, home
agent, gave a talk and demonstration
on "Planning For Adequate
Lights".
One new member, Mrs. Alvie
Hewett was received into the
club.
The hostess served refreshments
to six members, and home
agent.
April meeting will be held at
the home of Mrs.. Sermon Roach.

WASHINGTON
LETTER
WASHINGTON, April 17?Attempts
to concentrate Congressional
attention on pending domestic
matters to the exclusion
of foreign affairs have met with
dismal failure. The possibility of
having the European was spread
close to the shores of North
America continent through Nazi
occupation of Greenland and Iceland
has revived interest in the
Monroe Doctrine. There are many
other factors, which keep the lawmakers
alert to trends which
might bring about what the suave
diplomats call "the imminence of
involvement".
The invasion of Scandinavia is
studied for its political and economic
effects. Prior to the last
World War sentiment for .the
preservation of enutrality was
particularly strong in states having
a heavy percentage of citizens
of Scandinavian descent who
cherished the traditions of neutrality.
The generations born here
or transplanted to this country
made known their wishes to their
Congressional delegations in an
effort to prevent this nation being
drawn into the conflict. Now
wit htheir ancestral homes and
relatives in the direct path of
war, the politicians are wondering
whether this sturdy segment of
our national racial structure will
change their thinking on international
policies.
The quick action of the Administration
in "freezing" Scandinavian
credits the day following
the German march has implications
not yet understood. For
instance, the Export-Import
Bank, a Federal agency, had only
recently extended a ten million
loan to Norway to be used to
purchase American agricultural
and manufactured products of- a
nonmilitarv nature. A similar
sura had been credited to Finland
subject to the same restrictions.
It was officially stated that
other Scandinavian loans were
contemplated. Hitler's legions
have upset all this planning and
struck a heavy blow to exporters
of farm and manufactured products
who otherwise would have
found a rich market. Curtailment
of our export trade because of
war conditions usually contributes
to unemployment.
The overseas turmoil reaching
an intense stage adds to the bewilderment
of the professional
politicians. The planks written
into the Republican platform at
the Philadelphia convention may
have more effect on the people's
voting next fal than any controversial
demostic policy declaration.
In fact, Democrats and
Republicans are admitting that
foreign affairs may yet make or
breaw their hopes. The third
term issue is tied directly to this
phase of public affairs. The international
furore also tends to
make Secretary of State Hull a
leading national figure and, of
course, a prospective Presidential
candidate. It will be recalled that
these grave problems of statecraft
dominated the 1916 elections
and bid well for a repeat
performance this year.
The Congressional calendar for
this week includes consideration
of the Walter-Logan bill to "regulate
the regulators" or change
Federal administrative procedures.
The House is expected to accept
what is considered a restriction
on bureaucracy. The opponents,
In rcr*?l\r ffnuornmpnf r?ffir?inlc and
W'6VV 0V,V?.M..V... %*.??
lawyers, hope to stave off final
approval by the Senate. Routine
subjects scheduled include bills to
extend Federal housing p.ctivities,
crop insurance and the homestead
land policy. In the House, the
National Labor Relations Act are
temporarily suppressed by the
majority leaders, who fear a
rampant membersship may take
the bit in the teeth. The Senate
is trying to rush through important
money bills before a filibuster
envelops the law-making
machinery. This tie-up is due any
moment the proposed anti-lynching
measure is called up for a
vote.
Congress is girding itself for a
battle royal over relief. The
House Appropriations Committee
has been working on estimates
for several weeks. While the exact
amount of money that Congress
is willing to appropriate is
not known at this time, the
chances are that it will be in the
neighborhood or a billion dollars.
Effort to transfer the iarge proportion
of this burden to the
states have not met with much
encouragement. Despite assurances
from W. P. A. Administrator
Harrington that every effort
will be made to divorce politics
from the work relief projects, the
lawmakers and a goodly section
of the public are skeptical. In
tried a squirt gun. It worked! The
paint dried as soon as it hit the
car. Next they started in to improve
the squirt gun which finally
developed into a spray. The car
would dry in an hour! A month
had been saved in painting a car.
Kettering had achieved his aim
not by trying to improve old
methods, but by working out an
absolutely new method. 'There
is always another method." How
true that is! It is the goal to
strive for. Instead of trying to
improve an old method in some
line which interests you, why
don't you think up an entirely
new and diferent method ?v Yes,
indeed?there is always another
method.
the state port i
fact, Colonel Harrington in his
speech a day or two ago to the
National Association of County
i Officials admitted the difficulties!
j in the simple declaration, "I
; know perfectly well that in a I
i campaign year and with some,
two million people on the WPA (
program there will be efforts
i made in some localities to con- j
| vince workers that tehir best in-1
| terests lie in voting for this i
! or that candidate or in making j
j them believe that they should;
contribute to the campaign of j
certain candidates". Therefore, [
political considerations will make

j lief appropriations highly enter-1

lasted several days. There were
I many conflicting reports and each
I side claimed the victory, but it
is generally conceded that the
Germans lost at least 20 ships
including destroyers, cruisers and
transports. The British admit the
loss of four destroyers. Some
others were damaged. Both sides
lost a good many planes.
The Germans claim they are
still landing troops in Norway,
some of them by air, some by
water, and it is generally conceded
that their occupation of
Southern Norway is a success.
Immediately after the occupation
of Narvik the British attacked
it and were repulsed.
Later, with a battleship, mine
sweepers and several destroyers
they resumed the attack and captured
the city. Since then they
