SUBSCRIPTION RATES NE YEAR $1.5' \ MONTHS 1.0' HREE MONTHS 7 Wednesday, April 26, 1944 Sees Future Sport Recently a sport fishing story was sent from here to the State News Bureau for syndication to morning newspapers throughout the United States. The High Point Enterprise is an afterloon paper, one of the few really good ?nes in North Carolina. Editor Bob Thompson of the Enterprise saw the story in the morning papers and was ivell enough acquainted with the situition to see room for editorial comnent. His paper earned the following hat evening: GAME FISH There was a story in todays' mornng papers concerning the year-round presence of big game fish in the waters >ff Southport which, though unsigned, Dears the hallmark of Bill Keziah. Those who do not know Bilk who las made a life's work out of promotng the advantages of Southport and idjacent woods and waters, are the oser. Those who do know him know ilso that when it comes to plugging lis home land and home waters Bill's scales and tape measure are sometimes >n the generous side. But he is adsoutely right in his latest song of South>ort and he stands ready to prove it ill just as soon as the war ends and he Frying Pan waters are open to iportsmen. Bill ended his story with these vords: "... there are big game fish iff the North Carolina coast the yearound. At least this fact is established s regards the waters off Southport. It s believed to apply equally to other fens along the North Carolina coast." That admission that there might be i ?fish or two in waters other than hose around Southport is the most enerous statement we have ever nown Bill to make which is the reaon we are not quite certain that he vas the author of the piece. But it is i fact, just the same, and one which, ge believe, will bring thousands of portsmen and millions of dollars to forth Carolina after the war. And ven more important than that, to our vay of thinking, it will provide milions of hours of one of the greatest f all sports to North Carolina in easy each of their homes. \ewspaper A Barmometer While the newspaDers may not inend to convey the impression it is till a rather undisputable fact that oiks who read the newspapers are etting a solid belief that the war, so ar as Germany is concerned, will be ver in the next few months, certainly y the end of th6 year. It almost taxes belief to look back nd review what Russia has done to lermany's finest during the past two ears. Add to that what the Royal Air 'orce and England-based American tlanes have dealt out to Germany durlg the past few months. The results re what even a layman can recognze, a country that is virtually knocked roggy and is only awaiting the knockat that will come with invasion. That invasion will come soon. Many ewspapers are apparently loath to peak of invasion in a future tense, i'or all they know, between the time irhen they write their editorials and he time when the papers are printed nd placed on the streets the invasion lay have already started. Helping, The Axis Uncontrolled forest and woods fires ire working for the Axis enemy. When ires burn the South's forests they damige trees which could have provided orest products needed on fighting ronts of the war. All of us should be xtra careful with fire in the woods uring wartime. Let's use our forests o fight the enemy. Our carelessness vith fire in the woods must not aid he Axis. , Finding The Ultimates One instinctively attempts to salvag - from the bestiality of war some r? deeming assets. And, indeed, war ha - them. Let it not be once felt that i r doesn't. War is bringing us closer to th 1 ultimate values of life. That is a re e deeming quality of war from whici there is no escape. Every act by which life is strippe q of it covering and man is thrown bac 5 upon the simplicities is an act by whicl - human nature is made to face up to th fact that the ultimates are all that mat ter after all. Eddie Rickenbacker found that to b true during days of cramped life upo a raft in the lonely reaches of th Pacific. What concerned him and hi companions then most of all was life and life became conditioned upon cii cumstances cutside of their control, am all that they could do to shape thos circumstances toward their rescue wa to pray, then trust Providence for th rest. The soldiers on Bataari learned earl; that there are no atheists in foxholes that there man is brought face to fac with the ultimates of life or death, am that faith there spirals into ascendancy Sailors on the high seas know to that when the white menacing wak of an enemy torpedo is hurdling towari their ship, one doesn't then questioi that life has its ultimates and that al plsp in comnarison seems trivial. And when sky fighters sight ai enemy ship on their tail and see th hot lead puncturing holes all aroum them, they, too, know then that life ha its ultimates and that only faith cai grasp them. They say that the closer to the fron line one gets in battle, the more d individual differences fade while fait! and purpose become regimented into i fierce ,resolve to face this ultimate witl courage and calmness. War brings us close to the ultimat values of life. That's true as it applie to the battlefronts, but it's equally tru< as it applies to the home front, thougl perhaps to a less degree. We are beginning to feel it now and they tell us that we have not fel it now anything like we will feel it be fore the war is over. True, our priva tions are minor, almost negligible ii comparison to the privations of mei who are bearing the battle load, bu they at least point in the same direc tion. They strip lite of its veneering am reduce demands to the commonplace They magnify spiritual virtues, such a: courage, patience, patriotism, loyalty faith, prayer, devotion, sacrifice. Thej exalt the saving grace of hard work thrift, foresight, thoroughness. Thej magnify idealism and religion, am religion they strip of its mechanization; in favor of a religion which really get; down to where a man lives out hi; daily life. In the conduct of this war. then have been the dark side and the bright The butchery of men on the battle fronts, the senseless and inhumar bombing of innocent women and chil dren in their homes and school anc churches, the starving of civilian popu lations, the mass execution of racia enemies, all have presented a gorj picture of twentieth century savagery On the other hand there have been th< glamor of a great drama (painfu though it has been), the heroism o: gallant action and sacrifice, the movinj spectacle of collective determination o: free peoples to survive at all cost, th< fierce purpose with which downtrod den peoples have fought back fjt th( enemy, ?these things have lent coloi to an otherwise somber and distressinj picture. And out of the total picture, ther< emerges the greatly significant fac that not many have escaped the grow ing feeling that life has its untimates and that to cultivate them is to dis cover the real meaning of living. White lies soon turn black. Care not what the world thinks. I doesn't. '"til When one sings his own praises hi music is bad. At least, let us do today what shouh have been done yesterday.

James Arnold Perry, a native of Gastonia who married and has ,g been residing here for the past U several years, committed suicide by hanging himself at Rockville, S. C., Wednesday.

Myron n" Maxwell, Extension entomologist ,n,at N. C. State College. The effectiveness of the sodium ] fluoride treatment depends upon jthe method of application. Max: well recommends that the powder | be dusted very thinly over the surfaces where the cockroaches may er j run through it. The pests lick the le material which sticks to their or feet and thus they are poisoned. l9' If the powder is left in piles, the )n cockroach will avoid walking r" through it. :n A small garden duster may be rs used for applying the sodium fluoride. If a duster is not availIS able, Maxwell recommends that e" about 11 teacunful of nowder be >S placed in the center of a piece of ? cloth about 12 by 18 inches.
