The Stale Port Pilot j J Southport, N. G. j t Published Every Wednesday : ? j 1 JAMES M. HARPER, JR Editor ; < (On Leave of Absence, In U. S. N. R.) I Entered as seeond-claaa matter April 20, 162S, at i I the Post Office at Southport, N. C? under the Act of March 2, 13T9. 1 SUBSCRIPTION RATES < ONE YEAR $1.50 > t SIX MONTHS 1.00 , THREE MONTHS 75 { Wednesday, October 81, 1915 ( f Understanding Is Better j jj When the war ended many people j expected the Selective Service to end | c Jnot ac nnieklv. Some were bitterly dis- j JUOV M.) 1J ? ^ -appointed that it did not end and there < has been plenty of criticism of the fact that men are still being called to service. t Hut with the passage of time and a ( better realization of the reason there t has been less and less criticism. There 1 y now seems to be a much better understanding of the situation and a realization that men must still be called to the 1 service, regardless of the fact that the s country is not at war. n The understanding has come with t seeing so many vetrans returing from n both the European and Pacific war theatres. These men, or most of them fought for many weeks and months; I man\* saw two, three, four and five v years of service and separation from v their families. Now the fighting is over v they have a right to return to their d homes and they can not return unless j f others go to take their places. Armed r men must still be kept in Germany and , Japan. n ._ r Learned Something? r On a recent Sunday afternoon while t passing a prisoner of war camp we i saw a foot ball team engaged in a ; sDirited game. Not only were they ' spiritedly engaged, the entire list of v "prisoners in the camp seemed to be out, t pulling for one team or the other. It is probable that these Germans, 0 most of them young, and probably t never before having had the opportunitv to engage in play during the dozen j ^ or more years when Hitler was training a Germany for war, have learned a great j deal regarding sports and their whole- ! q some effect upon the human mind dur- ^ ing Sunday, holidays and spare hours J j while in this country as prisoners of j 0 war. At any rate, such can be hoped I r for. j j Art Of Playing Must t lie Learned t c Many tired, middle aged business men are grouchy in their home and also j j their offices because they have never learned to play. In early youth, they decided to amount to "something" and c went at business with a dead serious- t ness as though the making of huge ] sums of money were the only mission j t in life. They considered it a crusade I and not a game, a means to an end v and not the end itself. They didn't j t learn that rest periods were necessary. ' r They forgot to laugh, to relax and t play with the result that now they are c not even pleasant companions for them- s . seives. mey sense me iurinty ol tneir 1 f*" existence and find themselves facing i ; the end of life with years devoted to i futile purposes. They long for social 1 contacts no longer available. They are < ! the loneliest'of lonely men. They never ( 1 learned to play and get along with ; their fellow men. (From "For Release". 1 1 ! No More Knocks 1 1 - One of the casualties of peace praise ' be, is that deathlike rattle from our ' - high compression cars as they tried to 1 accelerate on wartime gasoline. In an 1 . astonishingly short time, the gasoline , ; makers stepped up octane ratings to 1 ; and then beyond prewar levels, so that our cars started to purr again instead - of snort. That was an excellent accomplish- 1 I ment and one that made everybody I happy. While we're at it, it seems to ; us, this would be as good a time as any to get rid of some of the other chronic knocks that have been infest ing American scene lately. We refer particularly to the "we have lost the Deace" bovs and the I lugubrious headshakers over the rel turning veterans crowd. I; It seems to us that the American people, by and large, have performed I ireditabiy in this war. Our fighting ncn wrote a record for all the world o envy. The returning veterans we lave seen have been tickled pink to be lome, proud of their new civilian clothes, glad to be back on the job and vould just as soon forget they are supposed to be problems. The folks at home did what they vere asked to do, put up with shortag>s, bought bonds and paid high taxes. \11 of us, soldiers, sailors and civilians dike, griped and grumbled. We always lo and always will. That's an Amerian privilege which the viewers with ilarm apparently fail ti understand. That's our national safety valve, like 'kill the umpire" or throw the bum >ut". It doesn't mean a thing. Service To Veterans Victory has brought a greater num>er of war veterans to be welcomed >ack to Brunswick county, and with hem a greater need for Red Cross seriees. The man or woman returning to ivilian life often has much business to ransact, many decisions to make. No ingle agency can take care of all eeds. But the Brunswick County Chaper of the American Red Cross is doing lore than ever to help the discharged erviceman and his family. Able-bodied veterans eager to obtain fork find the workers of the Brunswick Chapter always ready to consult with him about what he is best able to !o and direct him to the best agency or employment or vocational training. )ften a new job requires certain documents j the Red Cross helps secure mariage and birth certificates and other ecords. When an ex-serviceman gets ready o present his claims, he often needs elp in filling out forms. The Red Cross lersonnel in Veterans Administration ffices are specialists in this work and nil act as his representative in presening these claims to the rating board. The ex-serviceman himself is not the illy member of his family eligible for his aid. His wife, his children, or any 1 ? "fftloAmo IA ecognized ciepenaenis arc nciwmt ^ his aid with almost all l>inds of family nd financial problems. To the disabled veteran, the Red h-oss offers all the services offered to he able-bodied veteran. In addition; he disabled man and his family can ;et emergency financial aid if they ieed it until the first payment on his tension claim is made. Food and fuel, lothing and shelter-?the Red Cross irovides the means of all these necessiies to the disabled veteran in need luring this period of waiting. Russian Policy? There can be little doubt that the ourse pursued by the Soviet Union at he meeting of the Big Five Foreign Hinisters at London has strengthened he ties between the United States and Britain. The alternative to universal vorld collaboration is formation of ilosely knit blocs. The aim o four diplonacy has been something different. (V'e wanted to give free rein to the for:es of democracy in all nations. Rusja's insistence on the right to act unlaterally throughout eastern Europe lullifies the American concept and sets lp a Russian sphere of influence. The imiting of a sphere of influence retires concerted action by other powers. Relations between Russia on the o*ne land and the United States and the United Kingdom on the other qre lound to be cool for some time to come. Russia hasn't helped the situation any >y moving to restore diplomatic rela;ions with Argentina at a time when Washington is trying to undermine the Farrell-Peron regime at Buenos Aires. Basically, Russia does not believe in limitless sovereignty for small nations. Moscow is believed to feel it is foolish for small nations to be free to spend money and energy raising armies which can get into trouble with the armies of other small nations, starting quarrels which later involve other and larger powers. The Russian blueprint for world peace calls for a military alliance of the Soviet Union with the United States and Great Britain, leaving the policing of the world entirely to the Big Three. Wise statesmanship may be able to reconcile this aim with the objectives of the United Nations World Organization, but that remains to be seen. % - 'V "il l " ' I 1 ' =ssssssafc=g HOME COMING AT NEW HOPE CHUSCH (Continued froVn page one) Mr. Coblentz in this service. Eight former and present elders j of the church were present. These j were, Bradford Reynolds and R. | S. McKenZie, now 'of the First Pfesbyterian church of Wilmington; J. Mercer Taylor, of Pearsall Memorial church, Wilmington; F., M. PriUgen, Rocky Mt.; Henry I McKeithan, Florence, S. C.: and J the three present elders, O. T.1 i Reid, A. P. Henry. Sr.. and D. R. Johnson. Following the morning services a bounteous lunch was served on j a long table underneath the oak trees in the church yard. This J was followed by a happy time of I reunion and reminiscence of past' ! days. i In the afternoon F. M. Pridgen I j led in the geneml song service,, then came the wonderful time of j I reviewing the church and com-1 . fnunity in the days of old. | No memorial services were held j 1 this year. After singing "Blest j Be The Tie That Binds," and a 1 ) prayer offered by Rev. David j i Coblentz, the Fifty-First Home j j Coming Day cume to a happy ! ending. LELAND BAPTISTS PIAN NEW CHURCH I (Continued From h"a?e One) the community for the past dozen j or more years and many more j new homes are now under con- ( st ruction. Mr. Rourk said that the next j few years would undoubtedly see a great building up in the community around Leland. The plans i for the new church are in keepI ing with these expectations. MUCH WORK IN COUNTY OFFICE (Continued from page 1) in the office prior to 1910 have j been established. For some of the real estate papers the recording fees have: run from 30 cents to as high as: $99.50. Another rapidly growing source of work in the office is the recording of Army, Navy, Marine and Coast Guard discharges. Great numbers of such papers have already found permanent recording on the books. This is a work for which no fees are paid. There has naturally been a large volume of other work, not I listed in any of the above. Mr. Walton says that the handling of the large volume of business has only been made possible by the wholehearted cooperation of the public. Information from those j having papers for handling is | often necessary and the average I person with such papers usually j is able to quickly supply this information. j CHARLOTTE P. M. ION FISHING TRIP Ibonunuea ?-.xrm face unei erel, ab6ard Captain H. T. Bow- j mer's boat. Today and tomor-1 row they are on the gulf stream : With Captain Victor P. Lance andf his Moja. Quite a number of prominent sportsmen from all parts of this . and other states have been here j recently on fishing trips, and are ; coming in daily When the weather; permits. But for the shortage of. bQats and absence of hotel facili-1 ties the town would be swarming with them. RIFLES OUTLAWED FOR DUCKS-GEESE (Continued from page One) hunting geese and ducks arises j out of the fact that many per-,[ sons, mostly young boys, make ft > a habit to use such weapons, | shooting at the birds'from a distance and often crippling them.1 In other cases the birds are killed but are too far ffbm shore to be retrieved. This results in a big waste of birds and persons j found ' hunting with rifles will : be prosecuted. There are various other regula- j tions' regarding hunting ducks ; and geese. Hunters would do well to acquaint themselves with the laws on the subject before they start out on their expeditions. Very high tides with the last full moon period came in late , and produced some excellent marsh hen hunting, the hunters often getting their full days limit of 15 birds before the tide got near its fullest point. Warden I i JJowmer states that he very much I j appreciates the cooperation of' , both up-state and local sportsmen during the above period. He and others kept close watch on the hunting and in no case did they find a hunter who exceeded the lawful limit on birds. The sportsmen during the above period. He and others kept close | watch on the hunting and in no i case did they find a hunter who exceeded the lawful liipit on birds. The sportsmen quit and came in as soon'as they got their limit, even when the best period j foe shooting was still ahead.
