RACE TWO [ THE STATE PORT PILOT Ij Southport, N. C. PUBUSHED EVERY WEDNESDAY f ~~ JAMES M. HARPER, JR., Editor Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, at Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the act of March 3. 1879. I Subscription Rates I ONE YEAR , ?61.60 BIX MONTHS 1.00 I. THREE MONTHS .76 I NATIONAL 6DITORIAI I fi^JSsLASSOCIATION I Wednesday, February 12, 1011 I A poor excuse is one in which you I: pet caught. People who live in glass houses I' shouldn't. I You're likely to get musical pellagra I now from too little variety in your radio I diet. One kind of tourist traffic some people never have to worry about is a passing E fancy. Four walls do not a prison make, but add a little scribbling, carving and dirt, I and you've got it. Save your admiration for the lady who likes to write letters. Some day you can I afford a secretary, maybe. I In America we're debating the Lend j Lease bill, while in Europe they're dcbalH ing with bullets and bombs. B Apparent Need j It may not be a big project as some I of the others that are slated to come into j this territory as a result of the National | ' Defense program, but don't be surprised B to hear any time now that facilities are ; I being provided to refuel and reservice I small naval craft that come in to SouthI Last week more than half-dozen ves sels of several classes came in, and on B^ at least one occasion considerable inconB~venience was experienced because there i was no way to get the proper fuel aboard I and allow the craft to clear on schedule. The government has a way of trying B to be in position to supply demand, and I B this appears ore that is likely to be filled j ' | soon. 1* Opportunity The other day we heard of a young B man who has just completed a four-J H year hitch in the navy getting a job as, I diesel expert with a big railroad com|| pany. Four years ago that boy finished high | school and didn't have money enough to !o to college. He heard that the na\> ould give him an opportunity to study nd to learn a trade. He investigated nd proceeded to join. The job which he ow holds is probably a better one than is brother, who now is a college student, ill be able to get when he graduates. This isn't an editorial designed to disourage boys and girls from attending allege. In most cases, it is a fine .hing ar formal education to be continued un1 a college degree is received. But col;ge education is not within the reach of very boy in this county, and the opporjnity of enlisting in either the army or avy is. There never was a time when the govrnment was able to do more for its soliers and sailors; and there have been ew times when there was greater opporunity for patriotic service. jabor Problem Already it is apparent that added to he troubles of the farmer this year will e the problem of securing sufficient laior with which to carry on his normal arm operations. The obvious lesson to be drawn from his state of affairs is that there must e a changed farm program to meet new abor conditions that exist in our section. Several days ago County Agent J. E. )odson told us that he expected a good lany Brunswick county farmers would lot plant their full tobacco allotment, le explained that there is no penalty mposed under AAA rules this year for ailure to plant, then pointed to the unisual demands being made upon this ounty for laborers both at Camp Davis nd at Wilmington. "Our farmers are going to get away rom this cash crop idea,' he said, "and ;o in more extensively for feed and hay , crops." Diversified farming: that appears to be the order of the day and the practical solution to a situation that may become unbearable if farmers of this counj t.v insist upon putting all their eggs into | the same old tobacco basket this season. Road Survey Almost every site proposed for any rumored project for this locality has been up the river, between Southport and Wilmington, and the success of any one of them of any considerable importance is contingent upon hard surfacing the River | Road. We do not recommend that this be done simply in anticipation of some unforseen need (although we have long advocated that it be paved because of its value as a scenic route) but we do think that it would be a timely move to make a survey of the route so that paving work could begin soon after the location of an important project in the line of National Defense dictates its need. Lindbergh Talk Smells Like Nazi Propaganda The brand of defeatism expounded curj rently by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh before the House and Senate Foreign Relations Committees, so closely resembles the type of propaganda promulgated by the Nazis that it shows the famous flying colonel up in a rather bad light. Before Hitler moves into any country, he precedes it with a campaign of propaganda designed to terrorize the population of that country, demoralize and dis nipt all straight thinking, and in general build up a spirit of defeatism in face of the "invincible Nazi war machine." But most Americans are not ready to admit that Col. Lindbergh, because he happened to have the courage to fly the ocean for the first time 13 years ago, and because he has been decorated by [ Nazi Germany for his contribution to I aviation, is competent to speak in the role of military strategist and prophet. Doubtless. Lindbergh never would have conceded that the Greeks had a chance against the Italians, or that the tottering British would ever perform the miracle which has become a fact in Africa, but these things happened. The thing which the British must fight [ more strongly than the prospects of immediate Nazi invasion, is the same sort of defeatist attitude which Col Lindbergh would like to imbed in the minds of the American population. Personally, we would rather trust Col. Lindbergh's advice as an aviation authoriJ ty than as a military prophet, because we believe there are many military men in ithis country more qualified to speak about England's chance to survive than the famous flier. Americans ..should ..be ..grateful ..that while time flies, so still does the RAF.? "\Xjt r? W7 i n C?11 V* tUltl ?? iiiviiv?i. Shears And Paste SENSIBLE AND EQUITABLE (Greensboro News) A retirement fund will be set up for the teachers, prophets around Raleigh are confident; a prospect to cheer their old age, if they stick to the profession and can take it long enough to reach an old age. We trust that it will be so, and that by the time any considerable number of the teachers become entitled to its provisions, there will be enough to keep them in comfort. Now the Governor is reported to be in favor of a pay increment for teachers having nine years or more of service, which would provide a measure of present relief for a fraction of the whole number. The Daily News would like to see a substantial increase of the scale of pay to all the teachers if the cost of living index should rise materially in the next biennium, they are likely to need it badly. They need it anyway. The cost of living is more likely to rise than to recede, although it has not shifted much as yet, and perhaps may remain about as it is. But what with one thing and another, especially the heavy taking out of production by the federal government?nobody knows where that will end?the legislators may feel that it is impolitic if not impossible to find the big sum necessary to provide increases all around. Our own notion is that it is contrary to the public interest to leave teachers with reasonably just cause for complaint. There would certainly be a measure of justice ; in adding to the retirement provision, and the . increment for long service, an annual sickleave-with-pay allowance. That would cost relatively little, the political effort of it might not be great but it would be a sensible and equitable thing to do. THE STATE PORT PIL YOUR HOME AGENT SAYS USE MORE PEANUTS By Misses Mary E. Thomas & Sallie Brooks, Ext. Nutritionists. Peanuts are wholesome, healthful, and appetizing. They are rich in protein and fat and have consederable vitamin B? hence may be used as a meat substitute. Because of their dense nature, peanuts are not easily penetrated by the digestive juices. To be readily digested, they need therefore to be very thoroughly masticated or else finely ground. Peanuts should be combined with foods low in fat if they are to be consumed in any considerable quantity, otherwise their high fat content makes the total fat of the diet too great for easy digestion Peanut butter, peanut candy, parched, and salted peanuts, are the ways in which peanuts are most commonly used. However, they are good in soup, as to the main dish of the meal, as a vegetable, in salads, in breads in cakes and in puddings. To prepare unroasted peanuts for boiling or baking, shell the peanuts and pour boiling water over them, letting them remain in the water until the skins will peel off. BOILDED PEANUTS Cover skinned peanuts with cold water, bring to the boiling point, and cook until tender and mealy. This will require from one to three hours. Season with salt, pepper, and butter. Serve as you would dried beans. BAKED PEANUTS Put skinned peanuts in bean pot using three times as much water as peanuts; bring to boiling; season with salt and pepper; and bake slowly until soft and mealy, about eight hours. PEANUT ROAST l',2 cups bread crumbs Milk l'i cups chopped roasted peanuts I A 4-^r, ? _ J I * itaajjuuua pUWUer 1 Egg Salt and pepper Soak the bread crumbs in enough milk to soften them. Add the peanuts chopped or ground very fine, then the baking powder and the well beaten egg. Mix well and turn mixture into a well greased baking pan; bake in a moderate oven 45 minutes. Serve with hot tomato sauce. SCALLOPED PEANUTS 2 cups chopped roasted peanuts 2 cups cooked rice 2 cups milk 2 Tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons flour Salt cup buttered crumbs Make white sauce of milk, but- ! ter, flour, and salt. Into a buttered baking dish put a layer of ! cooked rice, a layer of chopped j peanuts, and pour over it half of 1 the white sauce. Put on another 1 layer of rice, peanuts, and the remainder of the white sauce. Cover with buttered bread crumbs. Put into oven until ; brown. PEANUT BUTTER Roast peanuts until a light , brown. Shell, husk, and run them through the food chopper using \ the medium fine plate. Then run them again through the food chopper using a finer plate. Repeat until a smooth butter is obtained. Season with salt using one tablespoon to one half pound of peanut butter. This may be aiuieu in covered jars until ready to use. Fresh peanut butter is superior to stored so make often and in small quantity. PEANUT CABBAGE SALAD 1 medium head cabbage 1 pint parched peanuts Chop peanuts and cabbage fine and mix with salad dressing. Serve on lettuse leaf. The above may be varied by the addition of chopped apples. SALTED PEANUTS Shell peanuts, cover with cold water, and soak over night. Next morning remove from water, dry with a clean cloth, and fry in deep fat, (preferably Wesson Oil). When a light brown, put on brown paper and sprinkle with salt while nuts are still hot. Instead of frying in deep fat, peanuts after soaking and drying may be placed In the oven in shallow pans and slowly tested. Add a level tablespoon of butter for each cup of peanuts. When light brown put on brown paper and sprinkle with salt while nuts are still hot. PEANUT BRITTLE M cup water 1 cup white corn syrup 1 tablespoon soda 2 cups sugar 4 cups shelled peanuts Mix water, syrup and sugar and heat to the boiling point. Add the peanuts. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until candy spins thread which breads as soon as cool or will form a hard ball in water and breads easily. Peanuts will be done when candy has cooked sufficiently. Use unroasted and unbleached peanuts. When candy is done, remove from heat, add soda and stir vigorously. If candy thermometer is available cook to 294 degrees F. Spread on buttered dish or slab to cool. INFLUENZA Mrs. W. E. Bell and two children, Rudy and Joy Lynn, of Southport, entered Dosher Memorial Hospital Monday for treatment for influenza. OT. 50LTHP0RT.N. C. __ The Legislature A Brief Review Of What Is Going On In Raleigh J At The Present Time. i _____ ( Editor's Note: This is the , fifth of a series of weekly summaries of the activities of the 1941 General Assembly. The staff of the Institute of Government presents this service to afford a comprehensive review of legislation introduced or passed by the representatives In Raleigh. PUBLIC LEGISLATION At the close of its fifth week the General Assembly is preparing to dig through an avalanche of public legislation, including such individual obstacles as wagehour, state marketing authority, i reapportionment, unemployment compensation and national defense bills. COURT CHANGES The only measures of public significance actually passed during the week were bills requiring the judge in first-degree burglary cases to charge the jury that they may render a verdict in the second degree and permitting divorced women to resume their maiden names or the name 11 of a prior divorced husband. FOR SABOTAGE The national defense bills in- ^ volved sabotage, housing, army t: draftees and volunteers, and uni- Cl forms. The sabotage measure, a v uniform bill sponsored by the ^ Council of State Governments, j5; would send to jail for 10 years or fine $10,000, or both, persons sl intentionally destroying or injur- ^ ing property or failing to note, " on inspection, intentionally defec- ci tive workmanship on articles ci when such actions would delay D of ititftrfnro tirlfVi rJofonop nr \irnr I preparations. The act also pro- r( vides lesser penalties for unlaw- c] ful entry on defense properties, el or restricted streets or highways, 0 and defines the rights of labor, privileges of witnesses and the questioning and detention of suspects in such cases. HOUSING MEASURES r< Three housing measures, one v validating the establishment and w undertakings of housing authori- *c ties, were presented on Friday. n The others would create such " authorities to engage in slum a clearance and dwelling accomda- S1 tion projects for persons of low a income, including farmers, authorize cooperation with the federal government in housing projects, f' an<^ assure safe and sanitary ir dwellings for persons engaged in ^ national defense activities. An- tc other bill would credit to draf- c< tees on a new car license the pro- fl portional amount of "Schedule B" " license tax he had paid but not I exercised because of his indue- I tion into armed forces. Other de- ) fense bills would appropriate | $30,000 for uniforming home I guard units and authorize the 1 Governor to form a State Guard 1 to substitute for the National ) Guard when the latter is called ) into active federal service. In- ) dividual State Guard members ! would not be exempt from feder- ) al service, and the organization I would be disbanded upon the Na- j tional Guard's return. WAGE-HOUR BILL A State wage-hour bill, much nearer to federal standards than j the impending Wage and Hour j Commission's majority and min- j ority reports, was offered by Senator Gregory. Minimum wages 3f 25 cents and maximum hours j of 44 per week would be prescribed for the first year; a 30 cents per hour minimum for the next six years, with 40 cents per hour from then on; 42 hours maximum for the second year, with 40 hours thereafter. The act creates a Wage and Hour Bureau in the Department of Labor, to be appointed by Commissioner of Labor, and specifies non-interf;rence with labor's right to collective bargaining. PRESENTATION* Representative LeGrand of New Hanover sponsored a bill calling for the submission of a constitutional amendment at the nixt general election to limit the representation of any single county in the General Assembly to one senator and three representatives. Another measure proposed to set up a State Marketing Authority, composed of members of the State Board of Agriculture, to promote the more effective marketing of farm products. Hie unemployment compensation law amendments are designed to extend and revise the provisions of the present law. ROAD BONDS > Perhaps the most vital of all the bills introduced, from the standpoint of the counties and their officials, is the one which would require the State to assume all obligations on county road bonds issued before 1931. While the counties would not be relieved of responsibility for principal or interest in arrears at that time, the assumption, on July 1, 1941, would put upon state highway funds the burden of all payments due after that date. Also included in the bill is a provision prohibiting diversion pf the highway funds. Of further interest to counties are measures to permit the appointment of county electrical inspectors to inspect wiring and elec- j - NOT Seems like there has been moi luring the past 10-days than duri period in a long, long time . . . hoys, Homer McKeithan and Prin now working for rival oil firms lood business . . .

Non-stock, non-profit, riaritable hospitals would be extnpted from taxation under anther bill. INSPECTION The riding public and highway ansportation agencies are di;ctly affected both by the Motor ehicle Inspection bill, which ould subject all motor vehicles, ) a semi-annual inspection, and lie those found to be unsafe off j le highways, and the proposed mendments to the Gasoline Injection Law, which would adopt minimum standard for gasoline.
