iPAGE 2 I The State Port Pilot ?. Southport, N. G. I Every Wednesday I^^Bliiri4ARpiR, JR Editor l^^mk^r-ave of Absence, In U. S. N. H.) Cntered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, at ',1 the Post Office at Southport N. C., under the I Act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES i)NE YEAR $1.50 KIX MONTHS 1.00 THREE MONTHS 75 Wednesday, June 28, 1944 m An Honor I Mrs. James Harper, our co-worker I while Lt. Harper is in service, a couple I of weeks ago was elected President of I) the North Carolina Press Women. They I held a meeting- in Winston-Salem and I elected her, despite the fact that she J was not there to defend herslf. I Sine the N. C. P. W. is made up of -1 newspaper women on the big dailies as I well as the smaller weeklies, the elecI tlon of Mrs. Harper can be regarded I as an honor for the Pilot and BrunsI wick County. She is the first President J to be elected from the less-than-daily B papers in North Carolina. ' | We Hope Looks Deceive I We hope that the small attendance It at the special War Bond movie on MonI day is not an indication of the rate at B which bonds are being bought in South"I port. After the management of the Amuzu went to the trouble and exit ncnsti of nrovidine excellent entertain ment for bond buyers, there were about thirty to witness the shew. This was discouraging to Mr. Furpless and should spur South port bond buyers on . to make a better showing when the final count is made. There is nothing ( half-hearted about the invasion except the way some of the people back home j are backing it up. He Has Taken It Off In 1910 Adolph Hitler donned an ar1 my uniform, swearing he would never again take it off until the enemies of I Germany were defeated. England, RusI sia and the United States are far from ^ having been mastered, but pictures re! leased in German newsreels last week i depicted him in a plain double breastj ed coat that bore no resemblance to an army uniform. 1 It appears that the German War |HHTof yesterday has laid aside the ^^K|}k>that he swore he would wear Hn the last great gun sounded and ptKuOKfrhan people took their places | as rulers of the world. F Regardless of the fact that Hitler no longer wears his uniform, the whole i; picture of him has changed. A look at i him now no longer gives one the imf pression that he is a creature of surgj ing power and force. The mustache is the same but the rest of the picture of f the Hitler of today is that of a stooped, [ broken and dejected old man. Sollv?Do Not Want To Fight Unless memory serves us wrong, 1 vaunting Japanese Admirals announc| ed on the day of Pearl Harbor, and for many days thereafter, that the ji American navy had be^n destroyed, i Last week what is 'eft of the Jap1 anese navy lacked the courage to stand S and fight it out with American war: Ships in their own waters, "hey turned i about and ran, leaving slow-moving tankers and carriers, whi:h formed i part of their fleet, to be destroyed. Not a gun was fired from warships | of either fleet. So great was the Jap's I haste to get away from the possibility P of encounter that they turned and 1 fled while still hundreds of miles away ! from the small portion of the fleet which they once claimed was destroyed. Even with their head start they did I not escape entirely. Planes from car| riers overtook them and fourteen Jap^Msrdbels were sunk by these planes ^^E^thers| badly damaged. Spite the post-Pearl Harbor claims HBhe American fleet had been destroyed, and despite the great conceni tration of our warships in tie Atlantic, , where they must abide until the EuroI pean phase is closed, the United States j navy rules the Pacific and this same Navy will be greatly pleased if the ! Japanese navy will dispute the claim I and come out to give it battle. Good For Home Consumption : It has remained for Erie Johnston, President of the United States Chamber of Commerce, to lead the way in championing the American system of private enterprise. Instead of belittling our system as outmoded, as is too common a political practice heie at home, Mr. Johnston, at a luncheon given him in Moscow by the Soviet Trade Com.missar, said: "In economic ideology, the practice of my country is different from yours. YrtiU are state-minded, collective-minded. We are most private-minded, most individual - minded and, gentlemen, j make no mistake, we are determined < to remain so or even to become more J so. 1 *'l tlfink each of our two countries ; should .be allowed to pursue its own < economic experiment, unimpeded by the othec" Speaking of a "gulf" between th# nations, he said: "Three J bridges of practical cooperation can be . thrown acrass it: (1) Our common de- !j termination to bring Hitler and fasc- J ism to an end; (2) Our common passion for production; (3) The bridge of j export and import trade." The Rus- , sians applauded his speech and Trade < Commissar Mi key an congratulated Mr. 1 Johnston. We need moue men like Johnston , praising our own country and American ' private enterprise. Too many of our ' politicians are pussyfooting on this j subject, while injecting government further and further into the affairs of ] private citizens, thereby limiting indi- , vidual opportunity. Mr. Johnston can i do missionary work at home as well as ! in Russia. ( Let's Hear From Them j In Brunswick, and probobly in other i neighboring counties, there is a sur- 1 prisingly large number of new farm- 1 ers. A number of people from other i counties have bought land and moved 1 borp without the public becoming aware of the new ideas and general benefits to a community that these newcomers bring. In recent weeks we have run across quits a number of such new citizens and, to tell the truth, meeting them on the streets we would have gone on supposing that they were long-time residents of the county. The fact is established that they are new residents. A little further questioning among neighbors reveals that they are mighty welcome newcomers. From talks with these newcomers, coupled with talks with the people in the immediate neighborhoods in which they have bought places and settled, this paper is moved to express a welcome to all newcomers to this county. Along with this goes the hope that we will get to know more such people. Nine Days Wonder The long heralded German secret weapon, the rocket gun that was to devastate the English countryside and wreak wholesale destruction, has failed to weaken England's determination to win. Put to the test it proved to be less than a nine days wonder. All of I the publicity that the Germans center- I ed around it, with the intention Of creating terror, has brought down upon their own heads the deaths 6f thousands of people and destruction of much property. England and the United States met I the rocket gun thrusts with the new time-honored blockbusters. The whole rocket gun threat turned on the Germans less than a week after it was set in motion. , When the war started, Germany had , one great secret weapon it's spies and ' propaganda agents who spread terror j of the unknown and boasted of the i German war machine. The result was i that country after country, including J France, were pushovers. The quicker , one country surrendered the quicker another followed in its footsteps, "this ' went on until the goosesteppers met : the English and found them, especially i Winston Churchill, decidedly bull-head- 1 ed and not inclined to' aidmit the existance of anv secret weapon or the su- ] periority of the German soldier. Eng- < land balked at lying down and whim- ; pering when the would-be world-mas- i ters approached. Russia did the same in refusing to admit the existence of German secret weapons or better trained German fighters. The two great countries proved that their beliefs were well founded. They debunked the secret weapon stuff and for the past two years there has been little talk of secret weapons. There probably would have been no talk now, no setni-useless rocket gun, except for a forlorn hope that by enshrouding them in the midst of terror they could stave off the fate that is descending on Germany. The war has entered upon that stage where nothing but shot and shell and cold steel will avail, and that the Allies, not Germany, have. 7 . THE STATE FOR 58,400 Fafflilii Carolina As Approximately 58,400 families in North Carolina have been provided with better housing: through 579,050,000 advanced by private lending institutions and insured by the Federal Housing Administration since the start of the FHA program in 1934. Aubrey G. McCabe, State Director, announced today as the FHA observed its 10th anniversary. Since June 27, 1934, Mr. McCabe reported that the FHA in Its nation-wide operations has insured loans for nearly 6,000,000 families in a total amount of $7,500,000,000 during its ten-year activities. When the FHA was first established, Mr. McCabe pointed out, its program was primarily one of stimulating home ownership and employment. At that time the building industry was at a standstill, high-cost first, second and third mortgage loans were accepted practice in a largely frozen mortgage market and lending institutions were reluctant to lend funds for the construction and repair of homes. Through its insured mortgage program the FHA made the low down payment, long-term amortized mortgage popular. The insurance of single mortgages basea on sound appraisals and involving mod erate interest charges reduced the risk element in home financing as compared with previous financing systems, and encouraged the flow cf capital into the home mortgage field. The FHA programs, Mr. McCabe stated, assisted the industry to get back on its feet, increased employment in the building trades, and made it possible for many thousands of families to build, buy cr improve homes. Loans insured in North Carolina since June, iyj4 uirougn June, 1944, Mr. McCabe said, were as follows: 42,200 loans for $14,450,)00 were insured for alterations, repairs and improvement on existing homes and other structures; L6.200 loans for $84,600,000 ad,'aneed for the purpose of buying )r building homes or rental housng projects. . During the war emergency, the tforth Carolina office has played i vital role in the production of sousing for workers in the state's issential war industries, Mr. Mcffabe said. It has done this by injuring financing for new privately juilt war housing units and for he conversion of existing housing nto additional units for war work;rs and their families. The state iffice also processes priority apilications for new construction ind the conversion of existing lousing under local quotas estabished by the National Housing Vgency. The peacetime job of the Federal lousing Administration, Mr. McHabe stated, will be to stimulate hrough its insured mortgage sys:em the production of sound, at:ractive homes for a broad-scale narket. After the war the FHA al io will continue tb exert every ffort to prevent inflationary pricis. Only homes that meet FHA valuation will be accepted for inmred financing. Production Of Lumber Falling fit - rv r m.T i snort Ut Weeds JIanchard Names Factors Contributing To Loss of Production; Free Advice Available By H. E. BLAN'CHARD, Farm Porester In spite of the decrease in DUilding, our lumber production is rapidly falling behind the reqjiremefits. The Armed Forces and issential civilian needs will have to have 34 billion feet of sawtimber this year as well as 13 million cords of pulpwood. The krmy alone has 800 different uses lor wood and the navy has almost as many. Loss of production has been :aused by several different fac tors. Labor shortage is one of the largest and there is little hope of Improvement in the situation this iummer. Another big factor in decreased production is that many people Pave timber that should be cut it this time and they will not put this timber on the market rhe boys on the battlefields may be giving up their lives because they did not get the ammunition that would have been delivered but for the lack of lumber. It takes 100,000 feet of lumber to send every shipload of supplies overseas. Can those timber owners who will not sell their timbei face their neighbors whose boy isn't coming back? Stumpage prices have neves been higher and the mill owners are anxious to buy. They are willing to cut the timber in anyway that the landowner desires. Free advice and help is available to timber owners to see thai they get a fair price for their timber and to help them find buyers Anyone who has timber for sals or knows of timber for sale is requested to get in touch wit! their county agent at once. Let's back the invasion with more thai war bonds. T PILOT, SOUTHPORT, N. < es In North sisted By FHA * ??? Hour Is Here For Women Of United States , ! In the Army's Air Transport !

At the same time Mr. Baker announced that the annual camp for colored scouts will be held at Jones Lake for two weeks, beginning July 10. Douglas W. King, Wilmington colored field executive, will be in charge of the Negro camp. G. Y.

Bain, Slat* Director, 90S * c. Chicken Pox Is Infectious Iill For County Fowl Raper Tells How To* Treat Disease Commonly Spoken Of As Sorehead Among Chickens By C. D. RAPER Chicken pox, often called foul pox and most commonly known in | Columbus County as sorehead in! chickens, is a highly infections disease, especially among young growing stock and pullets. This disease starts with reddish gray nodules on the comb and maddles and unfeathered parts of chickens' heads and is later covered with scabs. It is generally noticed by farmers and poultrymen of this section at the time the scabs are forming and by the cheesey cores around the eyes and mouth. Mortality from chicken pox is low except in growing stock. However, chicken pox lowers the resistance of the birds and may cause complications with other diseases such as the development of cold, roup, and other respiratory diseases. Chicken pox is caused by a virus and is often carried from one chicken to another by mosquitos and flies, and it may develop in chickens through a break in the skin or any unfeathered portion of the chicken. To date, there are no known medicine agents which will cure chicken pox. The best know treatment at the present time is to grease the heads and affected parts with carbolated vaseline. This disease may be prevented by vaccinating the young stock with chicken pox vaccine. This is one of the few vaccinations that is pvactical to poultry farmers in this section. In vaccinating against chicken dox. I would stife'est that vounp birds be vaccinated as soon after they are 6 weeks old as possible. Cockerels intended to be sold for friers or broliers should be separated from the rest of the flock and kept combined for several! days. There are two methods of 1 vaccination. (1) the stick method and (2) the follicle method. The follicle method is more commonly used in this section and is done by pulling 6 to 8 feathers from thigh and swabbing holes left by pulling feathers out with a short brush which has been purchased along with the vaccine. Scabs at the place of vaccination within 10 days from vaccination, indicates that the vaccination has taken on the birds and they are immune from chicken pox. If after examining several and no scabs are found/ it is best to revaccinate the birds. Vaccination against chicken pox cost less than a cent each when vaccinating in groups of 100 or more.

Otie Millionth Refund F Jose])h D. Nunan, Jr. commissioner of Internal Revenue, has announced that the one millionth refund on 1943 individual income tax returns was made this week. However, he cautioned taxpayers that it will take several months before the remainder of the 1943 refunds can be completed. Each refund check will be mailed as soon as possible by the regional disbursing office of the Treasury Department in the taxpayer's own district. In view of numerous inquiries from taxpayers as to when they ? tk.ir ofnnris Pom mis can exj>cti .. , sioner Nunan made the following statement: It is estimated that approximately 18,000,000 taxpayers are entitled to refunds on their 1943 income tax returns. It is our duty and intention to make these refunds as rapidly as possible. First attention was given to the claims of members of the armed forces. Now refunds to civilians are being made in large numbers. More than a quarter million taxpayers will receive their refunds this week, bringing the total to more than a million since March 15. An increasing number of taxpayers will get their refunds next week, and in every subsequent week until the list is complete. Each refund will include interest computed at the rate of six percent per year from March 15, 1944, to the date the refund :is scheduled. This is such a big job that obviously its completion will take several months. The preliminary steps b<fore making refunds of any amounts paid or withheld in excess cf the liability reported on these returns involve the assembling, checking and comparing of nearly two hundred million documents such as returns, withholding tax receipts and declarations of estimated tax. Every means possible is being utilized to expedite the handling of the task as a whole. Due to the volume of cases and the nufnber of processing operations, it s impractical to give preferential treatment to individual cases. In fairness to all taxpayers, we are making these refunds in the order in which they fall as a result of the mechanical procedure. , Since each refund will be mailed as soon as it is ready, no corresponder ce or other action will be necessary on the part of the taxpayer. In case the taxpayer has moved from the address shown on his 1943 return, however, he should send a notice of the change, giving both the new and old addresses, to the collector of internal revenue in the district where the! return was filed.
