ASSOCIATION Wednesday, October 23, 194$ ^ ? i 111 Of Spain's General Franco it may truthfully be said that it looks like the worm has squirmed. - . A lot of people who aren't funny themselves are sometimes able to edit the actions of one of their fellows and come up t with a humorous story. _ 1 | Foresight is something that secondguessers claim they had. I * , , I There may be no such thing as luck, but fortune never seems to'mis'some people. Intemperance has killed more people in the dining room than it has in the barroom. When a young man's fancy lightly turns he usually isn't much good for anything else. Hard times are when you don't have enough money for the things you need, but have plenty for the things you want. In Which We Concur In last week's Open Forum column Robert Marlowe, young Southport business man, was eternally right when he indicted the common practice of drunk voting. Neither his open letter nor this editorial will be able to keep the drunks away from the polls in next Tuesday's election. Only the people, through the power of public opinion, can do that. They, and they alone, can make votes dearer than a drink of whiskey; and voting with a clear head and a clean conscience more popular than the stupid fumblings of a drunk. /Vegro Fishermen Nowhere along the coast of North Carolina is there a town, regardless of size, that furnishes more men for menhaden fishing crews than does Southport. Up and down the coast, from Delaware to Florida, the colored men of this community enjoy a fine reputation as able and dependable fishermen, and here in Southport it is recognized that these men make good citizens. Our Visitors Visitors to our section this week are members of the board of directors of the Outdoor Writers Association of America, a fine group of fellows for whom the primary requisite is that they be true sportsmen. , We venture that never before has this group met in a place more picturesque, in a community where hospitality was more genuine. If it is fishing they want, then 'tis fishing they'll ha,ve?and they can choose their own kind. Or, if it is hunting that interests them, nowhere else along the Atlantic seaboard will they find a greater variety of game for the niinrod. And if active participation in neither appeals to them, then, indeed, are they in a paradise for jvriters; for the twice-told tales and legends of local hunting and fishing exploits will make reams of column copy. No better evidence of the importance of this visit is needed than is shown by the presence of the Hatteras, flagship of the North Carolina navy, and of the important officials of the State Department of Conservation and Development. The fact that the directors of the Outdoor Writers Association of America chose North Carolina, and Southport, for their place of meeting deserves co-operation from the state officials down to the humblest citizen of this community. These men are our guests for this week-end, and we can ask for no better reception than that they be accorded the same warm welcome that has earned for Southport its title?"The Friendly City." , ; f i1 1 "' ' Neied Supplied V I) P? 1 '4. J c '? ' . Approximately ten million disabling injuries occur in the United States annually, according to Mr. J. Beyg, chairman of the Brunswick County Red Cross Chapter, co-incident with the beginning of a series of first aid classes this week at Boliyia school. "What an appalling tragedy it would be if every citizen of the State of North Carolina was suddenly laid low, by , an accident," Mr. Berg pointed out. 'Wet this number of persons receive disabling injuries each year, and a number equivalent to the total pbpv'ation of ChaHotte, lOO,000, are tilled each year. "Accidents are no respectersi of states, cities, or of individuals," Mr. Berg said. "They invade every city, every state, and every country. They threaten persons on eyery street, at every place of work, and in every home." The classes in first aid being sponsored by the chapter are a part of the national j program of the American Red Qross planj ned to reduce the. number of deaths and disabilities throughout the country. "We are trying to spread a knowledge i of first aid and its proper administration throughout Brunswick," Mr. Berg declared. "Our county has great need for more i persons trained in caring for the injured, and for trained personnel in case of emer- t gencies. I consider our ability to offer this s course of training in this county one of ' the finest recent contributions yet made , our people by the Red Cross." t i t , Farm Taxes { We are in accord with what the Raleigh News & Observer has to say with regard to farm ta*es,:, "A dispatch jp Thursday's paper from The News and Observer's Washington bureau contained the following startling statement: "The North Carolina farmer paid a higher proportionate tax on his farm real estate in 1939 than any other farmer in the country, according to figures released today by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. "If that statement were literally true in a State where the entire burden of operating schools and roads has been transferred from land taxes to other taxes, including a heavy sales tax which the farmer also pays, the situation would be more than serious, it would be unbearable. "Further in the dispatch, it is revealed that the statement is not literally true. It is based not on actual figures, but on weighted figures and figures weighted in such a way as to be quite misleading insofar as North Carolina is concerned. The basis used in weighing the figures is the five-year pre-war period, 1909-1914. That period is generally accepted as being one when agriculture was on a parity with industry in the nation as a whole. But the period is not representative for North fwAwi nv.*,, nnnA?f n v. J-J f\f v> cl I U1J11 cl -LIVII1 an y aopcv.1. aim yi,vuuo\~ Vx that fact a different period was substi- c tuted in the Agricultural Adjustment Act 1 for North Carolina's principal agricultu- c ral commodity, tobacco. j "From the standpoint of taxes, the period is even less representative in North Carolina. The large-scale development of this State had scarcely begun at the end * of that period. That developpient did not t really get underway until 1921- But once t underway, it proceeded rapidly. Tax rates i increased greatly in the twenties and public debts mounted at an even faster rate, i Even before the depression came in 1929 j taxes, on land had become so burdensome 3 jhiait the State began in the late twenties s to take over some of the functions of the counties. By 1933, the State completed 3 the process of taking over both the i schools and the roads. Since that time the 1 major share of taxes on farm lands has 5 gone toward payment of earlier debts. ( "Debt payment has been slow, but tax- 1 es on North Carolina farm land are not * now increasing, although such taxes in- 2 creased last year for the country as a J whole. In North Carolina in 1939, the ave- 1 rage tax on farm land per acre was 38 ^ cents as compared to a national average 1 of 39 cents and the average tax rate was j 98 cents as compared to a national ave- < rage of $1.16, with the averages in the 3 sister States of Virginia and South Caro- i lina 67 cents and one dollar; respectively. J "Taxes on North Carolina farm lands < are still much higher than should be in j Consideration of the general sales tax of > three per cent and the State gasoline tax 3 of six cents a gallop. ] "Bui North Carolina does not have the ; highest farm taxes in the nation and such < taxes are decreasing, although all ioo slowly." _ - . 1 THE STATE PORT P B&LIVlA SCHOOL NEWS The grammar grades are now taking part in the activity period. Various games supervised by the teachers are being played. Later on clubs are to be organized. Friday morning the seventh grade gave a very interesting play entitled "How Stillwater Got The Library. Between acts some recitations were given. Those taking part in the program were Horace Lewis, Bethea Danford, Wilma Galloway, Inez Mitchell, Travis Danford, Vara Lee Gore, Virginia Collum, and Louise Galloway. An amateur hour was conducted here Friday night before our movie. There were several participants and their music was enjoyed. Following this the movie, "Fit For a King", was shown. We have in our Library 630 new books for the elementary school. We do not have any new books for high school, but hope (0 succeed in getting some before the school term is out.
