TEAK 51.60 DC MONTHS 1.00 rHRKE MONTHS .76 NATIONAL EDITORIALASSOCIATION \ml Wednesday, August 7, 1910 After two people have said 'I do the sooner they change that phrase to 'We do' the more likely they are to get along. An alibi is a story from which you've had time to smooth off all the rough edges. A trouble hunter never gets going good until he's away from home. If it flops you're a fool, if it goes you're a genius. ? No worse fate awaits a man than that j -- u:_ . he should come to be Known as ins wnco husband. You don't have to be an equestrian to ride a high horse. What this country needs is more men who try to live up to what their mothers and their little sons think of them. What To Do If the war drags 011 into the winter, and it looks now as though it might, Britain's hope for eventual victory will have been greatly improved. Not only has her plan all along been to enforce an effective blockade against her enemy, but her speeded up armament program is gaining momentum daily. Already from the continent are coming rumors that all is not well with the prospective food supply for the Nazi war machine, nor for the people back home. In the lowlands and in France, farms that were turned into battlefields have produced 110 food stuff this year, and survivors face a winter of starvation. And 011 the heels of hunger will come pestilance. We can't permit that to happen, we cry. We have plenty, so why may we not feed the non-beligerants, the refugees, the victims of war? Why not, indeed? For that is the humanitarian approach to a situation that is going to prove a crucial turning point in the war. If our sympathies are with England, and that is surely where our best interest lies, this is one time when the hand of mercy must be withheld. We must steel ourselves to turn a deaf ear to the German propoganda that will flood us with appeals for food and clothing for the na tions that have been over-run by her army. We cannot help these people without helping Germany, and we cannot help Germany without hurting England, who now stands as our last defense against being drawn into the war's inferno. The Nazis have already driven off most of the cattle in conquered Denmark? sent back to the slaughter pens of Germany; they have made repeated demands for supplies upon impoverished districts of France?food to be shipped back home. The same thing is happening in other territory that has fallen in her path. The theory is simple: Strip the land clean as we go; the Master Race must have food and to spax*e. Let the old gentleman in striped pants and with a long white beard look after our victims this winter. There will be many in the United States who will want to do just that; to do it honestly, in the name of humanity. And there is likely to be a terrific row raised over it. When it comes, this is one time Uncle Sam must be Uncle Scrooge unless he is to earn for himself another and more unpleasant title?Uncle Sap. Government Service Since the first of the year more than 50 Brunswick county boys have enlisted in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps. And, in the light of present day conditions, we don't know of a better thing for a healthy, ambitious young man to do. In the first place, our country needs volunteers for increasing the personnel of our armed forces. It is obvious that our defense must be strengthened, and the type of boy who enlists of his own free will is likely to make Uncle Sam a much better soldier, sailor or marine than the THE STAT! ones he could get through draft. In the second place, the proposed ex pansion of our armed rorces means rapic advancement for the boys who enlist be fore the big drive for recruits gets under way. NOT EXACTLY NEWS Willie Cooker found a turtle nest on Battery Is land Friday when he went over for flounders. ThL is the second turtle that has worked her waj inland to lay within the past two years, George Fulford having discovered a nest on the same island during that time ... A gallon thermos ju| makes a fine cooling unit with which to transpor fish- and shrimp in small quantities in your auto , mobile. No mess, no smell . . . And talking aboul | the smell of stale shrimp, Capt. J. J. Pigott say.1 | that Dallas brought home a bushel of orange! | and a bushel of apples in his new truck aftei hauling his first load of prawn north from Louisiana and they smelled and tasted so bad thai they couldn't use them. Charlie Hewett is the first man we've seer wearing a presidential campaign button?and its Willkie and McNary .... Judge W. M. Stanaland one of Brunswick's most astute politicians, sayi there is no need to try to talk politics down her< j until after tobacco is cured, graded and sold. You'll have a chance to see Tyrone Power and Dorothy Lamour, two local favorites, at the Amuzu tonight and tomorrow in Johny Appolo. A pretty good gal and boy story with a crimedoesn't-pay twist to it . . . Three local ladies (prominent, too) may be sued for unfair practice by the United Order of Mermaids. The sea-gals claim that bathing in the nude in the river? even at night?is encroaching on their territory. Bill Styron and Dick Brendle are probably the two most improved tennis players in town this summer among the older group, but if we have a tournament and Arvill Cotrell doesn't win, it won't be because he can't make the shots . . , There's a complete skeet shooting outfit bought and paid for here in town, and prospective mem bers of the club are too lazy to put it up. Josephine Wolfe is scheduled to stage a dance tomorrow nite at the Long Beach Casino. The music will be of the canned variety and the event is honoring a guest of hers ... In his Sunday speech, Gen. John J. Pershing, commander of the A.E.F. in World War 1, asked the country to send fifty or more destroyers to the aid of the British, ere it was too late. This is met with by approval by the greater part of the country, but it probably will never come to pass. The bill must first be introduced in Congress and then let the huge group of legislators debate and by the time anything definite is decided on the war will be history. Recordings: To pick any one band leader as the best has now become an impossibility. Woody Herman, a fast rising leader, presents two ho) waxings in "Herman At The Sherman and Jukin,' Also in the swing groove are "Flight of Bumble bee," "Four or Five Times," "Back Beat Boogie' and "Night Special"?all by Harry James. For sweet fans Kay Kyser offers, among others, "Fools Rush In." And of course there's always a box full of Jan Savitt's to pick from. Pets magazine has started a movement tc evacuate dogs, cats and other pets from the Brit ish Isles for the duration of the war. Anyone whc wishes to help may take care of the pet, and the ones they arc bringing over are all registered animals, for the owner. There will be no transportation, either way, for the benefactors. Anyone whc would like to take care of one or more pets foi their English owners can write either to this corner or to that magazine, at 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago.

C. E Brown, whose family is spending the summer al their home here, is an outstanding bridge con struction engineer with the state highway department .... The increase in the size of both the army and navy is going to open up some good jobs for colored youths as mess attendants. There are several young colored boy cooks in town. Wonder what Southport's amusement fad will be this winter? . . . One thing's sure, it'll have to be something new . . . Another Southport landmark was moved recently when Mrs. Lizzie Grimes picked up bag and baggage and went next door to run her boarding house ... It has been b long time since there was any baby-crying going on in the Methodist parsonage . . . The Frinki have an ingenius method for taking hot shower! at their Long Beach cottage. The pipe running in to their house from the water main is buried verj shallow, and when the sun is shining there i! about fifty yards of hot water throughout th< day. Wonder if the ever-marrying Holly wood stars get anything off for purchas ing licenses wholesale. Too many people are trying to fine fault with the other fellow who don'1 need a detective to see their own faults. It's a funny thing, but the fellow wit! he best horse sense seldom gets horsey. Loving your neighbor doesn't always necessitate your entertaining his chickens all the time. ? E PORT PILOT. SOUTHPOl ?ur The Young family Is having reunion here for 2 weeks th summer . . . Mrs. J.
