Southport, N. G. Published Every Wednesday l 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 ONE YEAR $1.50 H SIX MONTHS 1.00 p THREE MONTHS 75 Wednesday, July 19, 1944 r Best In Ten Years Rice Gwynn, Brunswick county tobacco planter and farmer, made the statement last week that this year's crop of the weed in this eastern Carolina area was the best in ten years. He want on to say that this applied not only to the amount being produced, bui the quality is above the average wit! more perfect leaves and better weighl to them when cured. In other words the cured tobacco is rnnninir more to perfect and heavier leaves. This, Mr. Gwynn says, is due to the fact that there were no excessive rains at any time during the growing period. Like claims regarding the crop have been heard from many other tobacco growers. There appears to be no denying that this years production of tobacco is good in both quantity and quality. In a short time now this crop will be rolling to market. I1 Seems Different Here In Sampson county, last week, 20 cases of rationing violations were disposed of in one day by the county hearing pannel. The cases involved everything from the accepting of ini, valid coupons on to the illegal possession of coupons and various illegel uses. I The punishment was equally varied. In this county the disposition that is I made of violations of ration rules does not seem to be made public. Such cases, if there are any, seem to come to the knowledge of no one but the violators and the trial board. The public gets tc y know nothing of violations and through i this lack of general knowledge the rationing board is handicapped. Publication of all actions of the trial board or county hearing pannel would, we believe, result in curbing the num!. ber of violations. The fact that there has been no publicity in this paper ir regard to ration law violators is not chargeable to the paper. Such matter would receive the same news attention as visitors in the Recorder's Court if the records were made equally avail| able. 1 They Run Their Course In some respects a tobacco barn fire " is like a war in Europe. There is a reasonably good chance of preventing ji- them, and no hope at all of stopping one until it has run its course, once the flames have started. Prevention, therefore, becomes everything with regard to a tobacco barn fire. Before beginning to fill a barn with the green leaves, strung On sticks, the , operator usually checks over everything al^out the sheet iron flues, seeing that |> there are no cracks from which sparks may emerge to start something in the I tobacco as it dries. For many hours fires must keep these flqes at red heat. The once green and heavy leaves, packed in the barn and down to within % about four and a half feet of the flues, become as dry as tinder. A bit of dust falling from overhead returns as a J spark. A poorly secured leaf of tobacco ! falling rises again as a flame and if i this flame merely touches the tobacco over the flues both tobacco and bam become an inferno of flame and smoke in a matter of seconds. Partly burned tobacco barns are unheard of. There is no such thing as control. They must be prevented or all is lost. There would be fewer with better preventive measures in some cases. There would also be fewer wars if better preventative measures were taken to prevent future Hitlers in Germany from blazing up. He Helped Farmers I When E. M. Cole died at his home in Charlotte recently there passed a man who did more than anyone els6 in this state to aid the farming class of our citizenship. When he made the first Cole Corn and Cotton planters he made farming implements that millions of farmers in the south came to know as perfection in seed planters. They were dependable and sturdy implements and throughout his long life Mr. Cole continued to make them. Probably not so many farmers ever came to know the maker, but millions in the south got to know the Cole corn and cotton planters and othet seed planters made by him. In knbwing those implements they knew the man who made them, Eugene Macon Cole. Applies Generally One thing said by C. M. Brickhouse of the North Carolina Extension Service, when he was speaking to the Brunswick county board of commissioners, Monday, applies to all North Carolina counties. Observing farmers can easily see the facts lying behind his remarks and recognize that the lot of the County Agent of today, is a hard one. Mr. Brickhouse stressed the fact that much of the worries of draft boards of other days has been shifted tb the shoulders of county agents during the present war. Practically all the blame that went to draft boards in 19I7-'18 is now bestowed upon the County Agent as head of the War Board. " -JJ-J 4- ~?1,. Mr. CriCKnOUSe <iuueu, nut um,y musk the War Board head?the county agent ?take the blame that went to draft boards, his burdens are so increased by the non-paying job with the War Board that he cannot possibly keep up with all the great volume of county agents work that he has had to do and is still expected to do, by those who do not understand. The work of the War Board is a patriotic service for which the county agents should be praised, instead of receiving the undeserved criticism that is bestowed by people who would like to get special consideration for their sons from the War Board. Depends On The Leaders The question of how long Germany will continue to fight seems to depend very much on German war lords, speaking fr6m the safety of the rear. When German armies are surrounded and there is no escape, nothing but surrender or death, the dumb devotees of Nazism are told to fight to the death or die with a shot in their backs, fired by their own officers. Such is the reward of German soldiers. Their lives mean nothing to those above them, except for the taking of other lives. For the soldiers and for the whole of the German people there is nothing to be gained by fighting to the death. To the German people the war is already lost. For the German soldiers it is not theirs to reason why, theirs is but to die. rney wm ngnt on so long as their leaders hold a gun in their back. It is inconceivable that the German military leaders are not aware of the fact that they have already lost the war. If they are that dense it will not" be long before the advancing hordes of Russia bring them to their senses. The Land Of Miracles If Kit Carson and his colleagues of the Wilderness could look upon the nation they explored not so many years ago, they would think indeed that many miracles had come to pass in America. They would see miracles where we of today see nothing. In Kit Carson's day, distance was a mountainous obstacle to be traversed painfully on foot. The journey sometimes took months. Now, airliners and express trains have made the mountain into a molehill. When a housewife in the Middle West wants a dish of fresh strawberries or a crab cocktail or fish t(>t dinner, she has but to go to the nearest grocery store. If Kit Carson wanted them, he had to walk a few thousand miles to Maine or California. The fact that nearly 8,000 carload3 of fruit and vegetables were shipped by express to all parts of the country during 1943, is no miracle to' contemporary consumers. But to the pioneers of a hundred years ago who were acquainted with nothing more speedy than a horse, the spectacle of a modern refrigerated express car loaded with delicacies rolling at sixty miles an hour across deserts and mountains, would have been overwhelming?the work of gods from anotherworld. The miracle of refrigerated express is not a creation Of super men, but merely the work of the American business men. It is only one of thousands of miracles that make the United States a good place to live, fluring the next hundred years, thousands more such miracles will be created by the same kind of men?provicfng this country remains a land in whicft men are free to create miracles. 4 THE STATE POR' READJUSTMENT PROGRAM TO AID RETURNING MfeN (Continued Pron Page One) i they have a wealth of personal experience to use in their new i jobs. The Marines have a slight jump on the Navy and Coast Guard in their hehafiilitation program, having gotten it underway last January and today are established with good results. Last month, 571 Marines were discharged in this! district, and Captain Page reports! that every one has been placed in! jobs. ''The purpose of the Civil Readjustment program of the Navy is to inform all naval personnel be-j ing discharged of their rights and privileges under present laws," Commander Warren said, speaking for the group. "The officers will see that discharged veterans receive full information on mustering out pay, insurance, procedure for reinstatement in a former job or obtaining a new job. They will aid men in making out pension applications for service connected disabilities, make vocational training applications and for continuing education interrupted by War." The district organization will1 consist of the District Civil Read- | justment Officer for each service (District Rehabilitation Officer in the case of the Marines) and assistants at headquarters, plus a civil redjustment oafficer at every activity in the district, under the command of the Commandant, which discharges personiiel. Every man or woman being discharged from the Navy will receive a final interview from a nnmmiaoirtnoil nffinrn* urV\n ttrill ooo that the discharge is fully informed of the proper steps to take in returning to civil life. COTTON'S FATHER COMING TO TOWN (Continued From Page One) go to his native North Carolina to visit, rest and fish." "I'm far behind in my fishing," Mr. Cotton declared, "and I am going back to Southport, North Carolina, for a time to be with my former cronies and fish with them. I am going to fish where they catch the big ones." Mr. and Mrs. Cotton have three sons, the youngest, Sam Cotton, is with the armed forces in Italy; the second, Whitworth Cotton, is City Engineer in Petersburg and the oldest is Joseph Cotton, Hollywood movie actor, who is known throughout the country.
