The State Port Pilot Southport, N. C. Published Every Wednesday JAMES M. HARPER, JR Editor Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, at the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the I Act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR $1.50 j SIX MONTHS 1.00 j THREE MONTHS 75 ' Wednesday, September 3, 1947 Reverend O. /. Hinson News of the passing of the Rever end 0. I. Hinson was not unexpected, but throughout this community there was a genuine feeling of sorrow when it was learned Saturday that he had been taken by death. Here, we think, is the perfect exam ple of the man whose good was not in terred with is bones, for during his forty years of ministery we know that countless lives were touched and in fluenced by this good and kindly soul. We know that our own community felt the mark of his influence, and we believe that it is a better place because of his two years spent here as pastor of Trinity Methodist Church. There Still Is Time There are a number of developments that should be made in various parts of our county, some of them with impor tant money-making possibilities. We know that this is true, and so do many of our citizens, because we spend a good bit of time talking about them. But one of these days we are going to wake up to find that somebody with more foresight and courage than we possess has stepped in to provide these needs. It is better that this should happen than that our county and the communit ies within her borders shall continue to be without these improvements; but just think how much better it would be if our own folks would just go ahead and do these things now! Big Business Did you know that hunting and fish ing is a big business? Frankly, we had no idea just how big until this past week when we got hold of a reprint of the Arthur H. Carhart article in the August issue of Sports Afield. This year the hunting and fishing bill for the American sportsman will total $3,000,000,000.00, according to figures furnished from a recent survey made by Nations Business. If you want a bet ter idea of just how much money this is, then consider the fact that total retail sales for all filling stations during 1946 amounted to $21,000,000.00 less than that amount. Another set of astounding figures de veloped through this bit of fact-finding is that the annual dog bill for U. S. sportsmen equals what the whole American public spends to see football, baseball, basketball, boxing, horse rac ing and all other spectacular sports events combined. And there is no better place in North Carolina than our own county for de veloping hunting and fishing to a point where they will furnish a year-round attraction for sportsmen of this part of the Nation. Thought For The Week Some years ago there appeared a book "Be glad you are a Neurotic," writen by Louis E. Bisch, M. D., Ph. D., of New York. A strange Title; yet human beings can at times exhibit strange and un expected reactions. One example of this has just recently been reported from the bombing of England. A woman had"" been ordered by physicians to rest in bed, because of nerves ? as we say. One day as the bombing started, this in valid left her bed and walked quitely to a nearby shelter. Her doctor, check ing over the group there saw the neuro tic. She was self-controlled. The doctor who was supposed to be in perfect heal th was nervous and confused. "Look here," he said, "you had no business walking here, you are too weak; get back home and we will send a stretcher for you." One thing that contributes to keep ing a nervous person, is often a fear that they may have to face some crush ing cries. But it repeatedly happens, : that when any real test of strength and courage does come, the neurotic will j rise to the occasion, and carry on, and j be the comfort of those about them j whose emotions fail them altho they had been regarded as the healthy -ones of the group. I have seen it. Hence, to you nervous people, 1 say ? "Don't be 1 afraid." ? Dr. J. M. Waggett. Whither Shall We Go ? John Park, publisher of the Raleigh Times, regards Russia as a definite menace to world security. His view is based on his observations while on a visit to Europe as the guest of the gov ernment. * Whither shall we go, is a pertinent question. The Raleigh newspaperman is concerned about what direction our policies in Germany and other countries of war-torn Europe shall take. Experience proved that to let the conquered Germans stew in their own juice is not a solution. We let them stew after the first World War and as Mr. Park said, "they stewed up an un holy mess." Starvation and cold breed revolution and revolution means a Hitler or a Mussolini. Mr. Park recognized this in his address here and dispassionately as serted his conviction that the cost of aid now will be less than the cost of an other war. As he viewed the situation, we must either stay in Germany as a vital force or Germany will be dominated by Rus sia; England would be next and accord ing to Mr. Park, it isn't difficult to forecast who would be next after Eng land. Merchandising There's an art to merchandising as evidenced by the following story from the Reader's Digest: At the "We Have a Card for Every Occasion" counter of a large depart ment store, the clerk asked the woman standing beside me what he could do for her. "I'm afraid you haven't anything that will do," she said. "I've looked all these cards over." "Madam," said the clerk, "we have greeting cards for everything. What kind do you want?" The woman hesitated, then leaned forward and said in a low voice, "My brother has just been sent to jail, and I want to send him a card expressing my regret." The clerk thought a moment, then reached among the cards "For the Sick" and handed her one. It read: "Sorry to hear you're a shut-in. Hope you get out soon!" You can never get ahead of anyone as long as you are trying to get even with him ? Anon. Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live ? Mark Twain. This world is not so bad a world as some folks try to make it ; But whether good or whether bad, depends upon how you take it. ? Anon. "Drink has drained more blood hung more crepe, sold more homes, plunged more people into bankruptcy, armed more villains, slain more children, snap ped more wedding rings, defiled more innocence, blinded more reason, wreck ed more womanhood, broken more hearts, blasted more lives, driven more to suicide, and dug more graves than any other poisoned scourge that ever swept its death-dealing waves across the world." ? Evangeline Booth, Sal vation Army. The average top speed permitted motorists on the open highways of the United States is 50.7 miles per hours, but nine states have no speed limit whatever, reports the National Conser vation Bureau. Safety experts of the Bureau point out that no matter what the legal speed limit may be, the "safe" speed is still left to the judgment of the man behind the wheel. Thus, heavy traffic or., slippery pavement in a 50 mile zone cut the safe speed far below that legal limit. Drive at a safe speed at all times for your own sake and the safety of others.
