PAGE 4 - 1 I The State Pet Pilot Southport, N. G. Published Every Wednesday I JAMES M. HARPER, JR Editor (On Leave of Absence, In U. S. N. R.) Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, at the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES I ONE YEAR $1.50 ! SIX MONTHS 1.00 | THREE MONTHS 75 Wednesday, May 10, 1944 A Job For All A keenly-alert, thinking, forwardlooking school superintendent got his ; teachers together one afternoon to talk j with them about grave matters. What he said to them may be sum1 med up something like this, though in i the written word it is impossible to impart the force behind his spoken word: They are telling us that we have i a tremendous job to do now, that the ) nation is looking to the schools to imi part something to the youth of the ! land which will furnish an unshakeable bulwark in character against this or any other crisis. To do the job I wWL wo nro Vipimr ovneeted to accom ,,u,v" " v " v """"O ---J plish, we must be empowered with a profound sense of obligaton; we must have a cause and that cause must control our conduct in and out of the classroom. We must acquire a vision of the immense capa'city for usefulness which our office as teachers endows us with, and that capacity must be implemented both in the classi'oom and in the community. That is what he "'Said, although he I1 would have difficulty in recognizing his , own thought, clothed as it is in somewhat different language from his own. n It was well and timely said. He was | speaking as a professional man to a I professional group. That professional \ group grapples everyday with the proL blems of young America. They see the j ragged edges of human nature; they I are thrilled many times with the active I responses of talented youth to leaderI shin; thev see character forming and II lives being made. They live hourly dur' ing the school year in the midst of a ; cross section of human nature where I alV human resportees to external stimuli | at one time or another tome to the I surface. They live and work in a labI oratory of human life. Normal times impose upon them a f heavy weight of responsibility, which ' responsibility they have learned to cari ry gracefully and patiently. Critical I times, such as now, increase that weight ; of responsibility both in the increased curriculum load and in the added weight , of moral and spiritual obligation felt ji toward the task of molding substantial I American citizenship. What the Superintendent said to his f teachers, however, has significance outL side the teaching profession, and that J is the point of this editorial. Never has there at any time been J more objective evidence of the empow : ring mignt 01 a cause to wnicn one attaches himself than at the present. Ask the defenders of Stalingrad '.?< whether they defended a faith of a city :vHand they'll tell you a faith. Ask the British if they defended an Be island against the Luftwaffe or a great K overpowering conviction, and they'll I;-'tell you that it was a conviction. Ask the Chinese if they withstood six years of Japanese insults for the S preservation of a land or a belief, and B? they'll say a belief. Ask your fellow Americans who unA derstand the real meaning of this war Bs what they are fighting for ultimately, B| American soil or American ideals, and 1 F if they think before they answer, they'll Bfsay American ideals. K True, they fight to preserve their If: soil, but their love for soi is funda ^mentally unattachable from ideals asKsociated with the soil. The profpundM est emotions which grip man have to k Bdo with ideals which have found obRjective rootage in native land. So that Wwhen any man fights to preserve his country, his country to him is the sumB. total of the ideals which have come pto fruitage on the land which he calls B "my country". The classroom teacher sees it as her B'responsibility to implant more deeply Bj into the growing minds of her pupils K something of the idealism associated f.Bwith American citizenship. But isn't that also the responsibility i Bof every American, especially during ^Bftimes like these? Doesn't that become ipAthe bounden duty of the church, the 1 e * ' * S' S *I service club, the social group, the I fraternal body, the home, and every institution in American life? Can anyone claim immunity from this immense, i imperative responsibility ? J Is it not true that America's cqllec- ( tive obligation reaches deeper than the ; task connected with turning out war materials ? Does it not have to do with the building and strengthening of faiths? Isn't it concerned ultimately with mat- ] ters of ethics and morality? , That's the teachers responsibility in relation to her pupil. Indeed, it is. But .that responsibility sits astride every professional and occupational ! group, every fraternal and religious in- ' stitution, every civic and social club j in the land. i And to the extent that we as a nation build up profound moralities an- ' chored in great spiritual faith, to that i extent are we preparing the soil for a I world where faith's preservation through war is achieved instead through war's moral equivalents. 1 lfl'" ' ' | Shears and Paste ' ' DECISION BY 4IR | (From the Christian Scjence ^oojtqr) 1 ' ' 1 The mounting tempo of air war oyer j Europe, the British-American report 1 011 how the Luftwaffe is being mas- ' tered, and disclosures of Allied ability , to invade the Continent with whole j divisions of air-borne troops?all these j are giving the airplane almost the role predicted for it by "dreamers" ime : Douhet and de Seversky. Planes based , on Britain and Italy are daily carry- 1 ing effective invasion through the roof j of Hitler's "fortress". , The British, on the receiving end of the bombing blitz of 1940-41, learned j how war industry could be crippled j from the air. Since 1942 they have i been putting the lesson into effect j against Germany with their area j bombing by night. They have hit the l Reich ten times as hard as Hitler was ' able to hit them. But the Germans 1 learned from their failure to overcome 1 the RAF fighters who in 1940 kept the ' "tight little island" an island. The Germans saw that they must j have more fighter planes to defend i themselves. In the fall of 1942 they made plans to curtail bomber produc- ! tion and quadruple their output of fighters. More and more they have de- 1 centralized these plane plants. Many . of them were untouched by the RAF's "bomb trucks"?the great Lancasters and Halifaxes whjch dropped block- ' busters by night on big cities. This looked like a job lor American daylight precision bombing. But through most of last year the Fortresses and Liberators, formidably armed as they were, could not regularly go uneescorted far into Germany. Then the long-range fighters, Lightnings, Thunderbolts and Mustangs, began to gc along. That made a wonderful difference. In the last four months the new combination of British-American round-the-clock, massand-precision bombing has reached ! even into cracks and crannies where i the Luftwaffe hid. It has destroyed factories, planes on thp ground and ! planes 'in the air. Today German i fighter-plane production has been cut below the level from which Hitler's new program started in 1942. This fact gives special pertinence to every day's reduction of irreplacabla Ueman fighter-plane strength. The latest?152 by British-based forces alone?sets a pace which, if piaintained for a few weeks, wqqld be decisive. The Nazis still can ppt up stiff resistance in spots, an dthe Allies can never be sure where they will hit such a spot. But already German fighters are unable to coyer a}l the targets, and they never know where the Allies will hit. Even upder present conditions, British-American air power should be able to hold a good umbrella over any beachhead. It will also be able to concentrate 15.000 tons of bombs a day on enemy troops anc| communications jp such an area. Now from London come dispatches saying that wellequipped Allied air-borne divisions? partly composed of natives of occupied countries?can be dropped behind the beaches to hold airports, destroy railways and establish road blocks to prevent the counterattacks which are the Nazis' main hope of defense. The Second Front will be a land front eventually, but air power is already playing a spectacular part in opening the way, and it will have an even bigger role in the first decisive days of digging in. THE STA! COUNTY FARMERS OF FSA PRODUCE BfG FOOD VOLUME (Continued From Page One) 3f 19,087 soldiers for a year. The beef and veal increases are equal to a year's supply for 9,659 men. Chickens for 15,825 and eggs for 36,116 men. Increased sales of livestock and livestock products were: Hogs?1942 Sales: 3,229,544 lbs; 1943 Sales: 5,519,957; Increase: (0.9 per cent.

Besides what they have sent to market, families in the FSA program are producing more food for their own tables. Every FSA family has a home garden and most of them have increased the garden area and greatly added in 1943 to the number of quarts of food cantied for home use. It is anticipated that eaqh family will can 80 qts. per family member for 1944. It was emphasized by the county supervisors that when these families came to FSA for assistance they did not have sufficient security which would enable them to obtain adequate credit from any normal source. These families records are "all the more remarkable" because in order to effect these increases it was necessary for the families to improve their methods of farming thereby eliminating unwise practices that bad led to their failure in the past. The farm and home supervisors Pave tried to help Columbus and Brunswick County families to accomplish these things through the .vise use of credit and in planning md guiding these families in carrying on their farm and home operations. These FSA borrowers are repaying their loans and establishing themselves on a sounder farming basis for the years to come, i letter recently received in the local FSA office from a man who in 1943 paid his tenant purchase loan in full: "In reply to your letter of April 13, I am sorry I lid not write you, but with many thanks to you, and your letter of inquiry in getting my mortgage pff of record. I am glad to say it pas all been ciearea up. Will always have to thank FSA for their kindness to me and my family, for the FSA is the people who helped me out of the gutter. I still recommend FSA to any one who would like to get out of the gutter. Best Wishes, Very truly yours, Paul Brown."

The Roving Reporter (Continued From Page One) land, planting the crop. Most of them were well up with all tasks j despite labor shortage. Those who were in town when the rains came could smile at the thought of how their crops could now grow. Out on the farms were probably many more also smiling. The rain was needed and it was welcomed. Telling us and his neighbor, Jessie Clemmons, about it, Claude Gore of Shallotte said Saturday: that with the labor shortage he! was out of the cotton growing business for the duration at least. I He had a good crop last year but he had to pay $2 to $3 per hundred for the picking of the! seed cotton. All other labor cogtj was in the same proportion. In the end he only got 20 cents per ; pound for the finished lint. There was half a bale of the staple still in the field this spring when) he plowed it up. Offsetting the bad luck with cotton, Mr. Gore had 30 acres in lespadeza, from! all of which he gathered the seed instead of making hay. He got i seven thousand pounds of seed, j his land received wonderful fer- j tilization when the lespadeza was I plowed under after the seed was harvested. That was not all, small I grain was planted on the 30 acres and the land reseeded itself in the lespedeza. A fine grain crop is now getting along towards being ready for harvesting and j coming right after it is a wonder-1 . ? IT, N- C. ^ ? ful lespedeza crop, already two! or three inches high.
