Things just did not fvelop The pond has not been | tait and it seemed to us that the saner was forgotten. But it now J appears that Odell just needed cue. He has cleared off part of Jtfce land for the pond, has en ?e: the aid of the Soil Con sfrvation people and is trying to a bulldozer to begin work that pond in the near future. Just as we suspected and re cently stated, the Candfiddlers who are the making of a baseball team of Southport of the future, are lacking in gallantry. They ( jfeel that baseball is a man's game that there is no room in it for ! co-ed features to be formed. ! Proof substantiating this belief , was found during last Thursday's : game here with Shallotte. Things' were going fine until manager j Guy McKeithan, of Shallotte, ' stuck a girl in at shortstop. This act created consternation among I the small Southporter hopefuls. ' The young men straightway be- j came possed of distress of mind in various stages. One young gentleman of nine years was on the point of quitting the game and was only deterred by his father telling him. Get in there and play ball for all you are worth. If you don't she will beat the hide off of you guys." | Contests are many these days. Some are popular and some are not. It strikes us that there is one form of a contest that has never been engaged in despite the fact that it has unlimited possibilities. For instance, Willie Suggs, Jr., 13-year old Southport er, could we believe, easily carry! off top honors against the whole of Brunswick county as being the most freckled face boy at large. Mention of the possibilities that lie in Willie is made purely be cause of the fact that he was very much disappointed at not getting mentioned in this column as one of the small boys who caught a 200-pound shark. To con sole __ him we promised him that think of something to write about him and as his freckles are his most outstanding attribute, we ar^ mentioning them. There has been right much shifting about among clerks at j both the Shallotte Soda Shop ' Cafe and the Coastal Drug Com pany, at Shallotte, duding the past week.

Young (what's his first name) Nobles has resigned as chief clerk and soda dispenser at the drug store and has been succeeded by Mrs. Myrtle Boyd, who had to resign her job in the Soda Shop Cafe to go over. Miss Mary Emma Tripp succeeded Mrs. Boyd at the cafe. ! Last summer we mentioned something about Halstead Holden. , young Durham and Brunswick county man who was then enter ing the University of North Caro- 1 lina and would go out for the track team, a sort in which he had already attained considerable reputation. We lost track of the youngster during the spring not having time to keep up with sports. Now the young fellow is back at Holden's Beach and is becoming a permanent resident of Brunswick. Inquiry regarding him Saturday revealed he had won two letters and three med als as a member of the University track team this year. If you rate a shark as a fish, ! Kehnith Kinsler 14:year-old as the top man, assisted by Danny Har relson, 13 and Marvin Fulwood, 12 rates the honors for the bigg est fish of the year, their ages considered. Fishing at the Thomp son dock Saturday they hooked and landed a 200-pound shark, all by their own efforts. This is j not the first shark these young- 1 sters have caught. Last summer they got plenty of what might be called bigger and better ones. When they got a bite usually have to anchor their plowline around a piling to keep from be ing pulled overboard. Mrs. Nell Robbins, nurse in Dr. Rourk's office at Shallotte, will be admitted free to any show at the Shallotte Theatre this week upon presentation of a copy of this week's State Port Pilot at the ticket office. At South port Miss Pat Arrington will be admitted to any show at the Amuzu under like conditions. Not infrequently we find our- ; self elevated to the outstanding position of being Captain of a ) ! Rowboat on some fish pond. Some j times with a more or less distin- j j guished set of numbskulls to serve I as a crew. On such occasion they find it hard to talk back to I us. On one such recent occasion the crew, composed of one of the State Fish and Game Commis sion men and the teacher of Pol- 1 itical Science at Chapel Hill, j j found a colony of great blue i herens in nearby weeds, while we [ fished. Returning late to camp we passed a huge rockery of turkey buzzards, roosting in pine trees, j Arriving- at camp we found that 1 Bob Sturtevant, celebrated lands- 1 capist from Boston, Mass, and Nashville, Tenn., had taken poses- 1 sion. We can scarcely recall dis- ( tinctly what was the most inter esting thing we came across on this trip. If this colum makes its ap- 1 pearance -this week, next week or | any week with our mug adorned with a different old hat, different old pipe and a generally salty j appearance, you can blame it on * A1 Dickson, editor of the Wilming- 1 ton Evening News. On a recent fishing trip A1 became outraged, ' both at our personal appearance and the appearance of the picture j at the column head. He acquired j another picture, one made by ( | Charlie FarreH of Greensboro when we were fishing with Char- ' ! lie out at sea. A1 took this fel- 1 lonously acquired picture and announced his intention of trying to give us a face lifting by mak ing a new thumbnail cut. As a rule we never ask any j | one to go fishing with us. It is the other way around. We have j such a hard time getting away to go with some of the folks who want us to go with them and ex plaining to others why we haven't ' time, we just let things run their course and go when we are able. This week, however, we had such a nice letter from State High | way Commissioner J. A. Bridger that we have decided to break the rule, and ask him to come and go fishing with us. He has had a lot of trouble and there is nothing so efficient at causing a person to forget trouble as going fishing. Especially when the blue gills are biting.

BRUNSWICK CROP (Continued Firm T-age One I together the production outlook appears pretty good, with pros pects of it becoming even better before harvesting time. Some few farmers will start cropping their early-planted to bacco within ten days. As early as Saturday some fields could be noted that were ready for' such operations. By July cropping and curing tobacco will be on -in earnest throughout the county. BOOTLEGGER HAS Continued From Page One hunting blackberries, this despite the fact that there was no ber ries in miles of the place. Realizing that the contact with the children would reveal to the operators that the still had been discovered and that it was use less to maintain the watch any longer, the officers took and de stroyed the still, a 150-gallon steam type affair.

J Farm Accidents j Take Heavy Toll Two Lives Losts And 205 Injured During Each Working Hour In Agri-I culture During the one hour you take for' dinner each day, two farm residents will b accidentally kill- ] ed and 205 injured, according to David S. Weaver, head of the Agricultural Engineering depart ment at State College. In giving these facts that were found by the National Safety j Council, Prof. Weaver advises the ! use of common sense in keeping j down the accident tolls this year. In 1946, about 4,500 farm work ers were killed and approximate ly 300,000 farm workers were in jured. During the same year it is estimated that motor vehicle deaths to farm residents increas- . ed about 1,000 over 1945. Unless extra precautions are j taken this year, one out of every ! 10 farmers will suffer a disabling injury, either on or off the job. j One out of every 350 farm fami lies will suffer the pain and sor- 1 row which accompany accidental deaths. Fifty-two farm people will strike some farmer in the United States every minute. How can farm accidents be prevented? Farm safety is parti cularly a family affair because, unlike the urban dweller, the family is so closely associated with the actual operations of j farming. Common sense tells us, I for example, that children have no more right to be near or on , a piece of operating farm ma- ; chinery than city children have ; to be around a punch press or a moving locomotive; they have no ; more business driving a tractor I than city children have behind the wheel of a 100 horse power j passenger automobile. Many accidents can be prevent ed if each family will learn what! hazards menance their lives at I home, at work and on the high- 1 way; what each member of the | family can do to eliminate as j many of these hazards as pos- 1 sible; and that carelessness on the part of any member of the fami- 1 ily perils the lives and happiness of all. j ON AIRCRAFT CARRIER Dexter C.
