PAGE 2 The State Port Pilot Southport, N. G. Published Every Wednesday JAMES M. HARPER, JR. ............ Editoi (On Leave of Absence, In U. S. N. R.) Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1926, a' the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under th< Act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR . $1.5( SIX MONTHS l-.0( THREE MONTHS ,7? Wednesday, October 18, 1944 A n A ble Man Passes On .in 1 ,. Although our paths sometimes crossed, that is to say we occasionally took different views, I long ago learned to admire C. Ed Taylor for the many sterling qualities that went with the man. Regardless of how I might differ with him I never failed to respect his opinions, his devotion to his family^ hi? church and his friends, not least of all, I admired his love of Brunswick county, a love in which we shared alike. It is superfluous to dwell upon what his family and his church have lost in the passing on of C. Ed Taylor. I would only say to his friends throughout the county that they have lost a friend?a man who knew and loved n Kan d rsrunSWlCK VjUUHL^V auu uti |/w{/?v? W. B. KEZIAH. Hoard Your War Bonds The fact that banks are now authorized to cash War Bonds must not be taken to indicate that owners should part with such securities. Far from it. The bonds should not be cashed until they mature unless the owner is in dire need of funds. To cash them now or in a few weeks after purchasing means I that the buyer loses all interest that would come from his investment. Furthermore, instead of helping win the war by buying bonds the man or woman who buys a bond and then turns around and cashes it is causing needless extra work. It may be interesting to note here that during the month of September, when there was no bond drive on, Brunswick county citizens, with an eye to a good investment, bought $5,528.75 worth of war bonds. It is doubted if a single person who bought bonds without the fanfare of a drive, in September, will cash any of his securities. She September sales were m^de to people wfio sincerely want to help win the wir and who are able to recognize a good investment to make against the day when they will really need money. A good piece of advice to offer any j man or woman who has idle money is to tell them to invest it in war bonds and hoard the bonds against the day when they will actually need money. * Aft Enough For Some j Several Brunswick hunters have rejt cetftly commented on the fact that they ari unable to buy even a small number 1 oflshotgun shells with which to go hufcting. One outstanding Shallotte citiizen, who owns some land Oh whiOh th^re is considerable game, said he had not been able to buy a single shell. On th|| other hand, he said, folks who have no^game of their own, and Whd make a feasonal practice of hunting on the laifcs of some one else, seem to have pi ' pl?ty of shells. jlccidently the writer came across I U _ ( ' -L 1 _1 ___< ij J_ : . . . so?e nrsi-nana miormation m support of rvthis claim that some people sefem abfc to get all the shells they waiit. ftecemly a couple of hunters were here I frdtri a distant point in the state. They ar J known to have hilled several tihies th( r days bag limit on a certain kind of ame on two consecutive days. Accoi ing to a statement they fired a total 3f 228 shots in two days. 1 rith no shells at all for some and not enough for a great many others, it see is unfair that still others should Kj ha1 > ways and means of getting all the want, and killing all the game the want to kill, without regard for projective laws.' A fFor thy Name ?|venty and more years ago when IT praltically all shipping still ran under sailfthe Cape Fear Pilots, who lived I her? at the mouth of the river atid guided the passing ships, had to be meii of iron. Death frequently stared theih in the face and it was not lintisI ual for the call of duty to lead them on to death. One monument in the Southport cemetery is a tribute to five pilots, only one 4of Whose bodies were ever recover ed.to sleep beneath the sod. They all went Olit together and went down together. With ships being named for heroes Of the sea, we know Or no name more . fitting than that Of Joseph Arnold, a r pilot of the old days. He lived to round out far more than the allotted three ^ score and ten. With him lived five , others, thanks to his heroic action. The pilot boat was at sea in line of . duty. It was caught in a terrific storm and Its rhasts snapped off, carrying ' hundreds of yards of canvass into the ! sea, still held to the long forward bow~ sprit by heavy lines. With giant waves breaking over the whole boat, the wreckage, fast to the end of the bowsprit was relentlessly ] dragging it down. It could be but a few minutes until the ship would be lost. The wreckage had to be cut loose. It appeared certain death to crawl out on that slender bowsprit over which seas broke as the ship rose and fell, but every man stood ready to go. Joe Arnold, the youhgest of all, pushed them all aside. All except he VioW wiWa ind families to which they liUU IT 1 f VW V...? ? ? ? j milSt return. He could cut the wreckage loose or die. Stripped to the skin and with a knife in his teeth, he reached the dragging lines with their weight of wreckage and slashed away with the strength bom of the supreme moment when a man must do or die. He was under raging water, save for scant irregular seconds When the seas dropped from under him and he could get a half breath, jfisr comrades could not know Whether he Was winning or losing until the last line was cut and the vessel came upright to ride out the storm. That pilot boat and its crew all came home together, ^e know of no name more fitting for the Maritime Commission to honor then that of Joseph Arnold. Meaning Of Good Management The most amazihgly successful management job in history was the preparation for opening the second front. For sheer efficiency, it resembled the working methods of industry here at home. Men and materials were assembled at the right place at the right time to do a specific job. In the humdrum existence of peacetime, this organizing genius, traditional to the iJnited States, never seemed Very important. But suddenly when our armies hit the beaches of Normandy,, everyone prayed that rioth ihg had bien overlooked. They prayed that management in industry, in government and in the army had done a good job. Countless lives depended on good management. If a single phase in the management of the invasion had failed, the whole project would have been thrown out of gear. For instance, thousands of land, sea and air craft, frohi giant tanks, jeeps, airplanes, and battleships, had to be fueled and ready to go on the instant of H-TIour. Fueling and lubricating the invasion was up to the American oil industry. That task has become known as the biggest "filling station" operation in History. It was done without a hitch, thanks to the good management Of the Oil men. After the War is over, good management will fee needed to keep industry going in the tough days of reconversion. it wilt be needed nOt only in the oil industry, but' in every other enterSme. It Saved lives in the invasions. 1 peacetime it will Sfeve jobs. There is J no better manager than the independent Afihericdh' business man. We should remember fliid in the days to Come. - - VKS - I Ptittefii At Aatheti What Is taking plWtee at Aachen spikes the hopes of many for victory in Europe before fhe shows fall. Such fanatical resistance fooms as a pattern of the kind of war all signs indicate Hitlerite Germany proposes to wage to the bitter end. Recent pronouncement.*; Of Allied spokesmen serve only to strengthen that German determination. If Hitler's artnies rilust be defeated one by Ohte and Hitler's cities must be levdled ihto surrender, as present signs indicate, war in Rurope into 1'945, perhaps late in the year, is inevitable. And if <fapah holds out in the same fashion, then world peace is still in the distant i future. The Whit'eville tobacco market failed to exceed the 193 d all-tittle high sales Volumes but it did not fail to demonstrate once again that this is a . big-time tobacco town. A Saturday afternoon carnival would not have drawn , mOVe people to town than Were drawn heire day after day by the lure of tobacco sales. THE STATE PORT PILOT, Roving Reporter J (Continued from page 1) ranked a close second. Joe Stone, President of the Stone Printing Company in Greensboro and Mrs. j " Stone both made fine catches.' We trailed the bunch with much! ou fewer but bigger fish. One of |111 the highlights was when Mr. I Stone caught an eight inch red fin. Before he could get it to the 10 boat the grandaddy of all big mouth bass swallowed it. With the hook sheathed in the smaller ou fish the big bass was drawn to the boat and its head lifted part-, ly out of the water before it released its hold on its prize. Mr. Stone swore it was the biggest g bass he had ever gotten on a line in all of his years of fishing., Others in the boat agreed with de him. An exciting few minutes was i had when Duncan, No. 1 colored guide, led the two boats to a hole that yielded 37 large goggle: eyes before the bait ran out. Rockfish have been biting right well in Walden's Creek and at; other points during the recent J chilly days. Claude Moore, who J owns a fine farm near the creek, has caught several large ones. Various others are also reported to have made catches. The rock is not particuilar as to the bait, a piece of white cloth on a hook and waved centlv about on the1 surface of the water seems to be the best inducement for him to rise and strike. They may weigh anywhere up to 25 pounds or more. When it comes to courtsey to visiting fishermen Paul Fodale has all folks in Southport beat. If they want to freeze their catch overnight in his shrimp house ice box it isfo. k. by him. even if he does have to go around to put them away and again to take them out. His concrete ice house with its own freezing system holds a good many tons of ice and shrimp or fish and the temperature can be regulated to freeze anything solid or any desired j degree. Mr. Fodale, like his father who preceeded him as a local fish dealer, never takes pay for any little favor he can render j visitors. Last fall many Brunswick farm-f ers had rather poor luck with their small grain at the start,' failing to get a good stand because of the prevailing dryness. With the best time for sowing oats running from October 15th to November 15th, those who sow oats and other small grain this year should not have any trouble in getting a good stand. County Agent Dodson reports that there has been very seasonable weather all over the county and there is plenty of moisture in the ground to germinate all seed that may he-, sown now, and during the next two weeks, even if we should have another dry spell during late October and early November. It looks, says the county agent, as if we will have an extra good season for planting small grain. Reports are that many farmers are planting this week.
