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.

The effectiveness of the sodium

:n A small garden duster may be

6 Stew-pendous I
Ways to Stretch
Meat Rations
There's not a more versatile dish
in the archives of American culinary
art than the famous meat stew.
Found on the tables of rich and
pqor alike, it is a standard item on
the national bill of fare.
Even with American meat producj
tion at an all-time high, the mul!
tiple requirements of the armed
i forces, lend-lease, and civilians
I necessitate that meat be conserved
; and extended. The nation's cooks
and homemakers, searching for ways
I to extend meat dishes ana conserve
precious ration points, have discovered
that merely by adding one
or two ingredients to the basic
American stew they can achieve
almost an endless variety of meat
dishes with an international flavor.
Following are recipes for six stews
which speak various languages:
Hungarian Gonlash
1 pound beef (for stew)
2 medium onions, chopped
Lard or drippings for browning
1 tablespoon paprika
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups water
4-6 potatoes, diced
1 teaspoon salt
Cook onions in drippings about 5
minutes. Add the meat and seasonings
and water. Simmer one hour.
Add diced potatoes. Simmer until
tender, about 30 minutes. Add bread
dumplings if desired.
East Indian Curry
114 cups cubed lamb i
Lard or drippings for browning :
% cup chopped onion I
cup (hopped gTcen pepper <
14 cup chopped celery
% clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder
Vii teaspoons salt
2 cups lamb broth (stock made
from bones removed from lamb
roast)
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
! Cover meat with water and sim1
mer until tender. Brown vegetables
in drippings, then combine them i
with seasonings, broth, and meat.
Simmer for 30 minutes. Thicken I
with flour. Serve the curry with
1 , rice.
