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 Act of March 3, 1870. SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR - *1,50 SIX MONTHS - 1-00 THREE MONTHS 75 Wednesday, October 6, 1948 Good Meeting It seems that the ladies of our com munity really did a tip-top job last Wednesday when the Southport Wo man's Club was hostess to the inn District meeting o? the North Carolina iteration of Woman's Clubs. But not flf of the credit belongs to the women, ? ??t teli you about two men Who had a lot to do with the success of the entertainment. ? ? There was much discussion a what the visitors should receive as fav ors Since it was desirable that this be something with local ^ic^th was decided to present each guestjut a venus fly-trap. This was a splendid idea, the only trouble being that you cannot go out in the woods and get them this time of the year. Somebody thought that a sand dollar would ma LoTghtTa'tuckeTfulfg^ed from operations M Sever to thlTdeM a'nd odorless speci star fish. These he has dried and gild ed and had stored away. Hearing of the dilema of the club members, he of fered to supply them with a quantity of [hese sea trophies, and the problem was solved to the full delight of the visiting 13 The' meeting was routine up until lunchtime,- but they tell us that there was nothing commonplace about the seafood luncheon that was served, nor was there anything wrong with the ap petites nor the enthusiastic apprecia tion of the guests. Shrimp which ha been donated by local dealers provided the main bourse, and the visitors had an opportunity to see just how they should be prepared and served. After lunch another man took over, this time Mayor Hubert Livingston, who drove one of his big, new, shiney buses over to Ft. Caswell and along the sea shore beach route, much to the delight of the upstate visitors. This phase of the entertainment was made absolutely complete when the bus stopped at the Long Beach cottage of Mrs. E. H. Cran mer and she invited the ladies to help fhemselves to as many shells as they wanted from her collection piled high underneath her house. Verily, when these Southport people once set out to do a job, they do it well ! Health Department A delegation for Home Demonstra tion Clubs ove rthe county, representa tives from the Southport Woman's Club and the Southport Lions Club met Mon day with members of the board of county commissioners to make an ad ded plea that Brunswick have the ser vices of a full-time, full-staffed Public Health Department. It was pointed out that the salary and travel expenses of the county nurse - runs to within $650.00 of the amount which the county will be required to contribute as its part in paying, for a health department which will include the part-time services of a public health doctor and a sanitarian and the full time services of a public health nurse and a sanitarian and the full-time ser vices of a public health nurse and a clerical assistant. Advocates of the health department recalled that Brunswick is one of the four counties in North Carolina which does not have a health department, As ide from the stigma of being a member of this small group, there is the more serious consequence that so far as di rect benefits which accrue to our coun ty are concerned, the State Board of Health might just as well be non-exist ant. We have no agency through which cooperation can be established. We think that members of the board of county commissioners chose a wise course when they made arrangements for a more thorough study of the situ ation. There is evidence that a group of progressiVe-minded, far-sighted citi zens are on the right track, and that the commissioners are inclined to go along with them if there are ways and means whereby this may be done. > And it might be a good time for ad vocates of the Public Health Depart ment to ask candidates for the board of county commissioners where they stand with regard to this program. If the people will let the candidates know they want it, they will be for it. Eure, Hall Or Gore? Of course nobody can be expected to take this warning seriously if front page stories are ignored, but those whose names begin with E, F. or G. might well take a look at this item and save themselves a lot of trouble later on by going immediately to the State driver license examiner for the test which will make them eligible to drive after the first of January. Along about the middle of the Christ mas shopping season, long lines will be gin to form in the corridors of the courthouse and there'll be a tireless wait for each and every individual. Picture yourself in the setting and how much you'll want to be out getting your shopping done. Try to visualize how ex hausting and irritating it will be to stand around for hours. After you ve done this little bit of looking into the future resolve to attend to the matter of getting your new driver ieense now and avoid those inconvenient hours that are in prospect. The driver license ex aminer isn't busy now but he will be in December. Is it worth waiting for? If you -wait until late in the last month of the year, don't say we didn't warn you. The Bootleg Law The "gallon*' law, which permits eight pints of legal whiskey to be brought into a county which has no ABC store, was misnamed. It should have been called the "bootleg" law. It is that and nothing else. Law enforcement officers can never do anything to curb bootleg sales so long as this statute remains on the books. Officers may search cars and bootleg joints from now until kingdom come without finding very many who are foolish enough to haul or possess more than the legal limit. Known bootleggers frankly open up their cache when officers arrive and permit a thorough inspection. What can the officer do? The answ er, of course, is nothing. He knows there are illegal sales but he can't prove it in court. And no bootlegger is fool ish enough to complete a transaction in an officer's presence. * Repeal of the so-call, misnamed "gal lon' law and substitution of a quart law would take the profit out of the busi ness for those who make periodic trips to legal stores and bring back whiskey for re-sale. We believe that this move ment to send the bootleggers back to honest toil will meet with the approv al of both the most ardent drys and the strongest advocates of legal sales. No one ever learned to enjoy ,a gridi ron contest by reading the rule book. It is by seeing and being thrilled by the play that fans learn the finer points of the game. Likewise it is by contact with good music that we grow in ap preciation. The first American to engage in meat packing was William Pynchon, of Springfield, Mass., who in 1655 started to drive cattle to Boston. The first grapevines in Europe were planted on the Rhine River by the Gen man King Ludwig in 842 A. D. The Roman catacombs?the first church and cemetery of the early Chris tians?wind for 587 miles under the Italian city and contain more than 6,000,000 tombs. Experiments conducted by a New York laboratory showed that the Ivory Tone Panama made by the Frank H. Lee Company reflected 93% of the sun's heat rays. Rovin' Reporter (Continued from page one) paring the big supper. We are not sure what was the custom in the case of corn like that of Moon ey's. Recently Dr. R. H. Holden, of Shallotte and Holden Beach, said J he wanted to express his apprecia tion of the interest this paper] is taking in the welfare and bet-\ terment of the whole county. "So! far as I can see," said Dr. Holden, j "allowing for the contacts you are j able to make with the people and | what is going on in various places in the county, you are just as much interested in what goes on j here as you are in what happens! at Southport." In turn the appre ciation of Dr. Holden and that of other fine residents of Brunswick] is appreciated by all connected i with this paper. The paper tries j to go by the theory that what j helps one part of Brunswick I county will help all parts. Although the average killing frost is not due to arrive in Brunswick county until November 22 it has come much earlier, at least once. A recent cold morning remind ed Bill Holmes of Shallotte that on September 25, 1910, Brunswick county folks awoke to find frost practically everywhere in the county. He remembered the time because he was on the beach fish ing and slept that night in a wet boat sail. He says he nearly froze to death. We are not pre pared to say how much of a national loss it would have been it he had. After spending two years here at Fort Caswell and recently transferred to Charleston, John Glassglow, SM, a Nashville, Ten nessee boy, still thinks a lot of what he calls his second home? Southport. He takes The Pilot in Charleston and runs up to South port for the week-end whenever he can. At present he is in Bos ton as part of a crew sent to transfer a heavy cruiser to Char leston. With the removal of an old garage near the home of Lewis Hardee, and some clearing up work by their mothers, the child ren of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Har dee, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sells and others in the neighborhood have a very nive skating rink. The place seems to be very popu lar, despite its smallness, and the parents probably get a great deal of satisfaction out of knowing that the kids are not facing the danger of skating on the streets. Although there may not be any visible connection, seeing Dawson Jones of Leland in town Monday reminded us that this month of October is supposed to be the time when former postmaster L. T. Yaskell comes down from New Jersey for a month of fishing. Postmaster Wilbur Dosher of Wil mington will get his annual vaca tion at the same time. Miss Marion Frink stopped us this week to volunteer the inform ation that we pretty near ruined her with one of our stories to the Greensboro Daily News. Seems she and her dad went to Greens boro to attend a convention of Young Democratis, a full week before the convention was schedul ed. Through some misadventure they found themselves in the mid dle of a CIO convention. Well, Miss Frink went back the next Friday, that being the correct time for holding the Young Dem ocrat Convention. The Greensboro News as befitted the occasion played up the convention strongly. In perfered position on the front page right along side the conven tion story was the one we had written about her trip the pre vious week.

This is accounted for by the fact that the big boats work a considerable distance out to sea. The smaller craft at other points cling more closely to the shore Tines. Stingarees are swept in by the hundreds daily, all sizes from no larger than a man's hand to huge, barb-tailed creatures that weigh half a ton or more. These larger specimens and some of the smal ler ones are dangerous. The poi son barb on the long tail can drive a man delirious and after wards result In a rotting sore. Other dangerous takes in the nets are man eating sharks, devil fish, octopus, saw fish and -what not. They all come up in the net with the shrimp and edible fish. Hie boatmen always have a gaff ready to get them back over board. Many carry stotguns, rifles or revolvers on the boat for the purpose of dispatching the 'larger and more dangerous cus tomers.

CARLYLE SEEKS toontinued frojn page one; through. Of interest to nominee Carlyle is a program to find out what he can do to aid the shrimpers and fishermen on the lower Nor th Carolina coast. He said he plans to return to Brunswick j county for two or three days and have conferences with the fishermen for the purpose of learning from them their views on what he may be able to do to aid them. He indicated that he was already assured river inlet to permit the passage of boats. He will strive to have such work done by the Army Engineers. A third matter that Mr. Carly le is interested in, without yet being certain of how he can go about getting it done, is the mat ter of a bridge across Lockwoods Folly inlet, connecting Holden! Beach with Long Beach. This may be a project in which the Federal government and State will have to cooperate.

I caught amber i jack, dolphin, etc. The late Sena-! tor Bailey and Frank Fuller, of1 New York, followed me up and made fishing off the North Caro lina coast what it is today." Mr. Morson hastily added: "Mr. Nelson and six friends, including myself, are coming back here on October 14th to do some real Gulf Stream fishing. Bill Combs, who says he is one of your admir ers, is coming with us. We have heard that the Southport fishing is just as good as Morehead's." ON THE BOXER Clifton C. Gore and Clarence D.
