r 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, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR $1.50 SIX MONTHS 1.00 THREE MONTHS 75 Wednesday, October 13, 1948 dt -A Hunters Watch Your Step The hunting season opens Friday, and for the next few months there will be much travel about the woods of Brunswick county as hunters go in quest of game. County Forest Warden Dorman Mer cer sees in this fact a possible source of trouble for his department, and he has asked us to pass along a warning to the hunters to be very careful with matches, cigarettes and camp fires. We will do this, and gladly; but we think that the average hunter today is more conservation minded than his predecessor of a few years ago. He has come to realize that game cannot flour ish where there is no cover and food, and more and more intelligent care is being taken not to set destructive for est fires. Good Time Of Year We have some trouble deciding which season of the year we enjoy most here in Brunswick county, but right now we think that it is fall. We like the snug, warm days and the crisp, cool nights; we take pleas ure in the news that mullets are run ning, that spots have shown up, that trout are being caught in the river. We like to see the leaves turn and we listen with interest to the farmers' tales of harvest. And we confess that we keep an eye on the calendar, wait ing for the opening of the hunting sea son. There are a lot of things in the fall to make you glad that you live in Brunswick county. Sensible Souveniers Some of the best free advertising that Brunswick county ever had came a few years ago when the late Churchill Bragaw, then manager of Orton Plan tation, sent enough camellias to Ral eight so that each member of the North Carolina Press Women's group might each have one as a favor. This was in the dead of winter, and the gift sent the girls back to their typewriters ready to write reams of copy about Beautiful Orton Plantation. Last month club women here to at tend the 11th District Meeting of the North Carolina Federation of Woman's Clubs were delighted when each re ceived a seahorse or a star fish as a favor. These same ladies also had their choice from a large seashell collection, and the chances are that each person present will remember their South port trophies longer than she remembers the details of the meeting here. Yesterday there was a district meet ing of the Woman's Society of Chris tian Service at Trinity Methodist chur ch, and once more an intelligent effort was made to send each visitor home with some unusual, permanent remind er of the Southport visit. These may seem to be small things, but they are important in our effort to spread good will for our section. We believe that there are two important ways in which this may be improved in its effectiveness. The first is to en courage conventions and conferences to meet in our county, particularly at our beaches. And second, each time a group of visitors come to Brunswick county for a meeting, we should see that they have some typical souvenier .to carry home with them; "It's for you, Mary. . . take it up in your room" Extension telephones in easy-to-get-to places save time and steps, afford privacy on the telephone. Now Enjoy Extension Telephone Convenience in any room in your home An extension telephone saves time, steps and trouble. It improves your service and makes your telephone more valuable by increasing its usefulness. Extension telephones can now be installed in homes at small cost. You don't need to write us or come to the office. Just call our Busi ness Office. Orders for main telephone service are sometimes delayed, because of shortages of central office and other equipment, which are not involved in the installation of extension telephones. That's why you can now get extension telephones, though there may still be delays in furnishing main tele phone service. IN AN EMERGENCY An extension telephone at your bedside affords comfort and protection. SOUTHERN BELI TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY INCORPORATED Rovin' Reporter 'Continued From Page Omsl Saturday. She looks just the same as when she was at Bolivia and while we were wondering: where she was we found she had been getting the State Port Pilot right along. This week Mrs. Glenn North rop sent us her renewal. Writing as she did so: "We just can't do without The Pilot, it is so much like a letter from home." We have heard that before and never tire of hearing it repeated. We get a lot of personal satisfaction out of knowing that a lot of for mer residents of Brunswick coun ty remain their interest in the old place and that the paper plays a small part in keeping this interest alive. It almost seems as if the sum mer beach season is now starting up again at Caswell Beach, Hol den Beach and Long Beach. This week Carl* Sink, feature writer for the State News Bureau, wrote us that Bill Sharpe, the director, was getting a kick out of the rapid growth of our beaches. They really are stirring. At Holden Beach Saturday we heard of con struction about to start on half a dozen new homes. Long Beach Is getting three and a half miles of additional paved roads and is otherwise building. Mr. Minor and his wife from New York came down last week, bought a home and moved in the same day. The man with the rod and reel, cane pole and cork line and the fellow with the hand line, is get-j ting mighty interested in what] this county has to offer, accord-1 ing to a letter received this week I from the State News Bureau. I They say that the gulf stream | fishing and deep sea fishing is 1 fine, but there are a whole lot j of people who like it better to have their fishing in the creeks, rivers and waterway. They want to know where they can go and what they can reasonably expect to get. If you are having good fishing anywhere in Brunswick county and are interetsed in peo ple who want to come in to fish, write us something of what you are catching and we will pass the information around. With the sea son opening Friday of this week, don't forget that we are interest ed in your hunting experiences. A. H. Parker, Gause Landing resident, says that the work of dredges on the Intracoastal Wat erway is completely ruining the oysters on the lower Brunswick coast Mr. Parker says over $25, 000.00 was spent planting and looking after oyster beds. Now when a shoaling occurs in the waterway the dredges, usually I owned by contractors, elect to .spread their dumpage over every i oyster bed within a mile of their operations. Mr. Parker thinks j that the preservation of the oyst ers is a matter in which only the Army Engineers have a say. They should demand that all dredging dumpage from their own dredges and those of private constractors be placed elsewhere than over the oyster beds.

Hundreds of people are taking advantage of the fine weather and are strung out ^long the Brunswick coast, fishing, buying fish or just visit ing around. Hie inlets and water ways are now dishing out some remarkably good fishing and it seems to be getting better every day. Saturday night we had a sup per?dinner to some of you? with Dr. R. H. Holden and his family at Dr. Holden's new Ocean View Tavern at Holden Beach. For weeks Dr. Holden has been telling us what a cook his "Chief" was and the steak sup per Saturday nfght lived up to all that had been claimed for him. We are unable to either spell or; pronounce their names. That does not differ. The main thing is that the Ocean View Travern at Hold en Beach has a couple of Greeks who really know their business when it comes to handling foods. The place is to be kept open the | year-round and our bet is that j about everybody who goes there jfor a meal will pay a return call 'sometime, or other. OYSTER ROAST ?NOW OPEN?
