T- i PAGE 4 The State Port Pilot Southport, N. C. Published Every Wednesday JAMES M. HARPER, JR Editoi (On Leave of Absence, In U. S. N. R.) Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, a the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under th< Act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR $1.5( SIX MONTHS l.OC THREE MONTHS 7f Wednesday, October 3, 1945 They Prefer Fishing To those who have never given any consideration to fhe possibilities, the results of a survey just completed among veterans may sound incredible. Out of thousands of returning service men, 62 per cent stated that they preferred sport fishing as the form of relaxation and recreation they wished to indulge in upon their return to civi ban life. This would indicate that the normal civilian sportsman population of all . ages, liking their fishing, will be swelled by hundreds of thousands of service men when they lay aside their uniforms. New fishing centers will be sought on all sides and distance will be 110 barrier, so long as the fishing, the boats, and accommodations are there. Same Time? A minor uproar arose on Monday when it was learned around town that the Amuzu Theatre would continue to show it's pictures at the same time "by the sun" as during War Time, thus making the first show begin at 6:30 Standard Time. As always, there are two sides to the question, and we'd like to point out one thing in favor of the early opening. Most important, we think, is the fact that the audience viewing the first show is made up largely of children who go to school. These children will be able, with the earlier opening, to be home and in bed a whole hour earlier than they would otherwise. It seems that all parents who have children of school age and who are interested in seeing that their children get proper rest will agree that it is best to get them home. So far as adult enjoyment goes, it is evident that the second show, with the majority of children out of the way, can give more pleasure to the adults present. Many times we've missed things in the dialogue of the first show because of the noise of the children. In a fast comedy only about half the gags can be heard over the din down ? front. Sport Fishing ????? There is nothing that Brunswick county can look forward to with greator oonfirlonpo in rlpvplnnmPllf than VI WUliVl V? VV 111 VI V ? V1V I'tiivii v sport fishing. Given the proper type of sport fish. ing boats for operating on the gulf 1 stym and nearer waters, sport fishing %dn the Brunswick coast will attract ''thousands if proper hotel facilities are - available. - Hotel are just as essential as the : boats because when a party of sports' men from distant points comes in from ! the sea at the end of a long day of ; tiring, but thrilling sport, they want a * place where they can rest in comfort. ? They have the money for such things - and it follows that if they get both ^ their sport and relaxation many of them will become financilly interested I in the area. J The shoals of Cape Fear, with their rocky bottoms and surrounding areas ~ filled with shrimp and small fish, are - a year round attraction to the big game fish that made Florida famous and t in Florida more than the whole Flordia - citrus crop brings to that state. Sports" men in Ohio.Pennys.vlvaina, Maryland. New Jersey, New York and various .. other states, already know that the Z Brunswick coast has the fishing. They : also know that the Brunswick coast Z is only half the distance to Flordia. Give these sportsmen the hotel faci lities and the boats and they will flock " here each year by the thousands. - Surprising Attitude The Japanese are showing a surl prising disposition to cooperate with : American occupation forces. In many to j cases where it was expected that positive orders would have to be given and j summary action taken, the Japanese . I have themselves taken the initative. | The world was surprised when the . j Japanese Emperor requested an aud- | r ience with General McArthur. Things apparently passed off much the same j j as if the two men had been ordinary j s | businessmen, gathering for a discussI ion of business affairs. It may be that the Japs realize that ' there is no alternative and knowledge \ | of their defeat may be sinking in. ; | r Economic Survey j, i i Some time in the near future a 1 thorough survey will be made of this | county in an effort to discover all economic possibilities and to aid de- j' velopment. It is not to be denied that \ : the county has a wealth of possibilities, < I unknown to the general run of citizens, jt In many cases there are great pos ! sibilities that are not realized by even i j the neighborhoods possessing them. ] Citizens of the county, interested in ! its future and possibilities, should begin now to look about them, consider i and weigh in their minds everything j' that may be valuable to the future. ( ' 1 Rapid Return ' i Regardless of the objections prevail so urgently neeaea, we can maKe inese products available sooner. , It must be kept in mind by those who criticize the occupation that Germany was for many years a one-party country?and that the one party was the Nazi Party. More than most coun- I tries, Germany was a bureaucracy . Most ; of those who had interest in the arts of government worked in the civil service?and most of those who did not work in civil service took notoriously little interest in government problems. That has been the history of Germany for very long time . And?to complete the picture?it should be here observed that civil servants wherever they work, seldom find it expedient to be openly hostile to the party in power. Even in this country, with its twoparty system, it would be difficult to reorganize and restaff the public ser- i rices if eligibility were confined to ! those who had never voted for candidates of a long-entrenched previous administration.

There is no way in which they ' may obtain relief except for volunteer J duty on the part of others and the temporary continuance of the funct1 ions of the draft boards. The need for ! men did not end with the ending of J! the war. it y The Shape Of \ Things To Come r It A wonderful new age of scientific ,j ' magic is just around the corner. | j; It may be along any day now, de- |v pending only upon how soon the Ameri- |f can people can get the wheels of peace- 1 time industry rolling. i Stores will be getting new merchan- t dise, and most of us will be in for a c pleasant shock when we see the amazing and unsual new products that research has brough us. < Here is a preview of just a few of { the many surprises we may expect to i find: ij Paper sheets and pillow-cases. j( Packaging that will protect food- r stuffs from mould. 3 Livestock feeds of high protein content, distilled from wood.

October 7-13 Is \ Fire Prevention Week In Nation i Post - War Building Program Offers Opportunity To Reduce Fires By Observing Fire Precautions In Construction Fire, one of man's most powerful tools, is also one of his greatest enemies. It was fire that helped win the war against Japan, but fires here at home are the most destructive agency in i America. National Fire Prevention Week is October 7 to 13, and President Truman in his < proclamation has appealed to all ' , farmers to take active steps to wipe out farm fhe hazards which last year took a toll of 3,500 lives and destroyed 90 million j dollars worth of farm property, j The post war building program / offe.s an opportunity to reduce i fires, says Professor David S. Weaver, in charge of Agricultural ] Engineering at State College. It has been estimated that a reduc- i tion of fifty percent can be made in fire losses, if fire safe build- 1 ings are constructed and reason- ' able precautions taken to elimin- i ate fire hazards. i It is obvious that in a short J time farmers will be spending millions of dollars for the con- | struction of new dwellings and ? < farm buildings, and there are five , important principles which should , be observed to reduce fire haz- aids. Professor Weaver says: (1) j - * ' - ll._4. ~,,r, ,.,l IViaKe suie UH&L cvcijr aaic guaiu is taken in the installation of heating equipment. (2) Fire re- , sistant roofing should be used s rather than roofing materials which ignite easily. (3) Electric j wiring must be adequate and , safe. (41 All chimneys must be , of sound construction with fire safe material. (5) Lightning rods I should be put on the principal j farm buildings. Statistics are available to show that 85 percent of all farm fires are preventable. Human care-! lessness is the greatest cause of | fires. "Just a little common sense and a little knowledge of howj fires are started will prevent a tremendous loss of life and property." Weaver says. To clean spinach the easy way use two pans or a double sink,1 filling them alternately with water, and using both hands to draw and drain off water and to lift the greens. Most women cut i off the roots in the washing! water or sink, but trimming di- ] rectly into a garbage container before washing is faster. i| TOTAL RE l!h IM J26S.S 19: $936,4 19! $3,057, 19; $3,772, 19' $7,661, 19 $18,396 19 $22,998 19' $26,756 % QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Who is an "Intelligent buyer?" An intelligent buyer is one who gets the best possible value in goods or services for every dollar spent. This is based, first of all, on planning?planting for wise spending in all the departments that make a home a going concern. We can "make or do without" when it comes to household equipment and clothing, but man must eat?and woman, too?and meals of the right kind are the basis of health. Buy by the pound whenever you can instead of by the dime's or quarter's worth, or by the basket. Always watch the scales Lo make sure you get all you oay for. Remember brown shell eggs are just as good as white ones, and vice versa. The color of the shell has nothing to do with the focd value of the egg inside. 5"ARM QUESTIONS Question: Can alfalfa hay be 'ed to chickens? Answer: Yes, says Prof. Roy Dearstyne, in charge of the Poul:ry Department at State College, f the hay is cut when 9 to 10 nches high and cured inside with orotection from the sun or rain, rhe same is true for other legumes, which furnish an excellent supplement to the diet of chick:ns. Such hays are rich in vitanins A and G, and also contain ninerals and valuable proteins, rhe hay should be fed in racks n the laying house. Question: How can I prevent ny workstock from having blind staggers ? Answer: Call in the veterar.aran and have the animals vaccilated, says Dr. C. D.
