Most people are so anxious to pet something for nothing that they'll spend a lot of money to get it. When a man sets out to rule or ruin, and winds up doing the latter, he usually! finds himself included in the debacle. One feature about forming your own conclusion is that you aren't hemmed in by the facts. Crowded Out We have a mighty hard time getting our readers to understand why some contribution of theirs, or some piece of news which they are particularly interested, must sometimes be omitted from the issue in which they would be normally expected to appear. We suppose it does look funny to them that, after urging them over and over to send in their news to this newspaper, their solicited news stories fail to appear on schedule. So the purpose of this editorial is to make peace to some extent Uvith those who have been slighted in t;his manner recently. The press upon which this paper is printed gets out an even number of pages, so if plans have been made for a fourpage issue and there is enough news for .1511 1 i. ^ an extra page, the issue win sun nave iu be, four pages, with one left over, for the simple reason that there is no such thing as a five-page paper. ff the quarrel is that there's nothing, bftt ads in some particular issue, please do not feel too harshly toward the publisher, for it is from advertising that revenue for running the paper is derived. Remember that most of the papers you receive during the year have a greater percentage of space devoted to straight news, and don't begrudge the business department its brief stay in the sun. And most important of all, don't decide that you'll just stop sending in anything at all to the paper if they happen td leave something out. If this publication is to perform its proper function it must hflve the cooperation and good will of its readers. That is why we want to make this explanation. Menace To Labor inrc The troublemakers in the ranks of labor would do well to read the Gallup J'fcV 1 ? l Ll.'rt 1 Oft poll wnicn was puunsneu on utwuci c.v. The poll asked this question: "Are you in favor of the closed shop?that is, requiring every worker in a company to belong to a union before he can be hired?" /Seventy-seven per cent of those queried answered no. Only 13 per cent answered yes. The balance of 10 per cent was undecided. In short, sentiment against the closed shop was in the overwhelming ratio of six to one! The important part of this is that the hulk of major union disputes of late have diiiilt with the closed shop issue. When w&ge and hour issues are involved, government mediation boards exist to protect the worker against exploitation and unfair treatment. What union leadership warits is a closed shop which will prevent any man who doesn't pay tribute to a hnion from getting a job and earning a giving. The continual strike threat in the coal m'ihes supplying the nation's most basic defense industry, steel, was over the closed shop issue. The head of the mine workers has defied the government of the Urtited States and told it, in effect, to acdede to his demands?or else! The temper of the American people is ch&ar. No group, whether it be labor or capital, can be allowed to imperial this cothrtry. No group can put its own selfish interests ahead of the nation's safety. II I is unquestioned that the bulk of workers in this country are loyal and patriotic, They want to work, and they know that today wages are at record levels. But a few troublemaking union heads stop them. The radicals in the labor movement are digging unionism's grave. Let them remember the President's, words?"That small minority is a menace to the true cause of labor itself, as well as to the nation as a whole." Gaining Ground The tone of the German press has undergone a curious change. For instance, in a recent article propaganda director Goebbels seemed actually pessimistic as to Germany's chances. He didn't say that in clear words, of course, but the intimation was that the Reich had a mighty tough job on her hands and that victory was far away. It is generally believed m military quarters that the blitz technique has finally failed. It worked with France, Poland, the Low Countries and elsewhere. But it didn't work with England. And it isn't working with Russia. The war is becoming more or less stabilized. It is turning into a war of resources. Hitler's prime concern now is to organize German-controTTed Europe into the vast producing machine that the Nazi ni-miao noor] And the democracies' nrime concern is to outproduce him in all fields. Mr. Churchill's recent statement to the effect that the British air force is at last equal to Germany's is not regarded as braggadocio by those Who haWe access to the facts. England has done wonders in building up air power, and American aid is substantial and increasing. The democracies are gaining ground now?but they have a long way to go still. Hitler's land forces are still the best equipped and best trained on earth. Help The Postmaster This editorial isn't being written for the special benefit of our local postmaster, but for all the postmasters in the county in the hope that sympathetic readers will help make their task lighter this year by doing their Christmas mailing early. If you will think back over the year we believe that you will be able to remember more than one occasion when your postmaster has gone out of his way. to do you a favor. True, he is a government employee; but regulations do not require the little extra courtesies and considerations that he performs almost daily. W?11 -fri-r PVivietmns Hi IS VP.AT WP hp lieve we know what he would want from you. Its inexpensive, and it won't take too much trouble; and we know that he will appreciate it. In the first place, we believe that he would ask you to do as much of your holiday mailing as possible in advance of the last-minute rush. Secondly, he probably would want you to wrap your packages securely and address your mail with ink, and legibly. And thirdly, We believe that he would want yon to call at the office several time daily, especially during the latter days of the pre-Christmas season and collect your mail, thereby avoiding confusion. If you are served by an R.F.D. carrier, most of the things we halve had to say will apply to him, too. T i- _ it.'-. ^ ir uci o pi?u iiuw vo mane mis a merry Christmas, even for the postal employees. Mussolini blew th6 whistle, Jdpati rang the bell, Hitler pulled the throttle, and Europe went to .... ! | Shears And Paste HITLER'S GRAND (The Charlotte Observer) Hitler is staging an all-out show of his military successes by calltng into conference today representatives of an European nations, England, of course, excluded, who are antiCommunistic. He win have around him all of the little Heil-ers from Berlin, Mussolini and his puppets, the Quislings who Trojan-horsed their peoples into the hands of the Nazis, and his appointed agents in an the countries he has overrun. It is to be a grand demonstration of European unity for Hitler's "New Order" on the continent and a flashtng display Of their combined loathesomeness of Communism. Not, of course, that Nitler cafes a hoot for Communism as such, or even understands its ; mischievous content. THE STATE PORT P The I; FISHERMEN !: ST BILL KFZIAH This past week we had a vis-1 j! itor whose comings sort of intri- I . gued us because he brought with him possibilities for great devel- j opment of the sport fishing in-, dusfrv off Soutftport. The guest 1 j was Captain Lev Raymond, mas- ( ter of the Lev-Lou, the only sport | } fishing craft that ?*e have ever j v seen that was equipped with two sets of outriggers for trolling, y Captain Raymond, accompanied by t Mrs'.' Raymond, was on his way fo Florida for the winter fish-1 fng. HIS stop here was at the ex- , ri request of Rill Ackerman of , Washington, D. C. Post; Boh Wilson of the Washington HeraldTimes and on N. Carpenter, hunt-1 trig and fishing editor of the I Washington Roily News. c * * * I j These fellows, all members of! r the outdoor Writers Association of America and ail keenly interested I e in sport fishing development, have : ( been telling Captain Raymond j v that SouthDort offered a lot of' possibilities. A bit of credit also 1J goes to half doz. other key-pound-! ? ers Who have likewise been singing the praise of this part of the ( coast. t * * e Captain Raymond is manager of the Ocean City, .Maryland,'s yacht basin and it may be said v here that in the past five years Ocean City has gained nation-wide f recognition for its summer si>ort i J fishing. The season there begins on June 1st and ends October 1st. j s Silvty to a hundred of the finest i v sport fishing craft afloat leave Florida each April. They drift J t northward to Ocean City and have j little or nothing to do until June, j ii After the closing on the first of October these boats return south- J ward and have little to do in I \ Florida until about the first of December. ja ? \ To be brief, they have about a two months between the closing of the Florida season and while i waiting until the Ocean City busi- t ness starts up in June of each v year. Likewise at the end of Sept- h ember the boats have nothing to c do until Florida starts up in December. Only a little time is re- j quired for the boats to travel b from point to point. s Now, If the weather is anyway n favorable, fishing may be expected to be beginning good here \ early in April. Liftewise, October and November are about the best ^ months we have. Our friend, Cap- r tain Raymond, encouraged by the reports he has been getting from i our friends, the outdoor writers ' has ecquired an idea of making Southport a great half-way fishing point between Ocean City and Miami. When the Florida season g closes next April, if plans work \ out, he and several other boats c will come here and fish until June. Then going on to Ocean City, they will fish there until the end of September and return to Southport for another two months of it before going on to Florida. Of course, if they get plenty of parties, some of the boats stopping here in the spring will stay right on through the summer and fall, only going to Florida about December and returning no further north than Southport. At least, there will be enough of such boats to take care of the actual and potential business. . ... | The great publicity value of | having Southport a mid-way fishing center between Miami and Ocean City are readily apparent. While he has never operated a bo?t out from here. Captain Raymond is confident that Southport has as good or better spring, summer and fall fishing than any point on the coast above here. The one difficulty is that there has been little exploration. The playgrounds of sails and marlin have not yet been discovered, although, he says, these fish are here In abundance. Southport trouble is developing the big game fishing in the past has been due to the fact that barracuda, amberjack and dolphin, etc., were found In siich abundance in certain areas, no one has ever bothered to go a bit out of the regular ruts and took for salts and marlin. ... There WOh't be any trouble in | locating either sailfiah or marlin, i dcebrdtng to Captain Raymond dnd Captain Victor P. Lance of the Torobil. These two captains dre good friends and work together ?t their fishing. Captain Lance, I I LOT, SOUTHPORT, N. C. ICHURCHESl! ZION, Town Creek: Church; chool at 10 a. m., Supt. Jesse | . Knox.

Wilson, Mrs. Troy vho has made several short stays lere, has seen both the possibilties and the shortcomings that nust be overcome before real big fame sport fishing development fets underway here. * * * One of the essential needs is the creation of mooring facilities at i he yacht basin. The sport fish- j ng craft need dockage, with wat- j ;r and light connections. They i lon't mind paying for such things, in fact, according to Captain Kay- j nond, they are glad to pay for ! facilities. Another obstacle to de- ; /elopment is the absence of adejuate hotel facilities. Sportsmen 1 like to come in groups and to renain together. "With good boats re re and hotel facilities", said Captain Raymond, "South|>ort will become overrun with wealthy tportsmen." If other places with rot half as good fishing or half j as long a season as prevails at Southport can provide all of the business that 60 to a 100 boats can handle, then Southport can and should really blossom out as one of the greatest midway sport fishing centers on the Atlantic coast. "All you need is boat and hotel facilities, the sportsmen will come here in droves If you have those things. Thanks to the great publicity that Southport has had and is getting right along, you only need the boats and the hotel facilities in order to become a Very attractive point to sportsmen for practically nine months out of each year." - NOT EXflC On his new farm Dr. Fergus has a barn that so i ompletely overshadows his house on the place j hat some "kind friend suggested he ought to have i barn dance and turn it into a farm shower.
