The State Port Pilot Southport, N. C. Published Every Wednesday JAMES M. HARPER, JR. EdiUr 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, November 24, 1948 Don t Laugh Now When plans were first announced that the Southport Home Demonstra tion Club would conduct a yard beauti fication contest in Southport with one hundred dollars in cash prizes, there were many doubts expressed that the ladies would be able to raise the funds with which to carry out their project. It is time for Southport citizens to stop worrying about how the prize mon ey can be paid and to begin figuring on how to earn a part of it. The contest would be a lame venture, indeed, if the winner turns out to be the only serious contestant. The idea behind the plan is to have everyone enter, have every one work and do all that he reasonably well can to make his own yard more at tractive. Not only will this make it a good contest, but it will mean that every en trant also will be a winner;-because no body gains more in satisfaction and in self-respect than does the property-own er who has done a good job of making his grounds about his home more attrac tive. The women of the Home Demonstra tion Club had the nerve to stage a con test and to place the stakes high enough to justify spending some money in an effort to win a cash prize. The only thing they need to make it a success is competition. Watch Out For Fires It has been more than a quarter of | a century since bear, deer wild turkey and other small game were to be found [ in "Brunswick county as abundantly as they are now. j This does not mean that hunting has j been on the decrease during that time. [ On the contrary, there are more hunt 1 ers now than ever before, and they usu I ally bring in the game they go after. The whole explanation lies in the j fact that for a quarter of a century I Brunswick county has been cooperating J with State Forestry officials in the pre- ! I vention of forest fires. The main object j was to protect the woodlands. In pro j tecting the woodland from fire, game has also been prevented from going the way of destruction. The wildlife come j back along with the timber j County Agent J. E. Dodson has of ten stated that the value of the wood crop in Brunswitk is greater than that of all farm and field crops produced each year .In seeing things that way he probably did not even take into ac count the value of the game that is a part of the woodland crop. The hunting season is now on. Hunt ers should remember the value of the woodland game crop which they love to hunt. They should realize that pro tecting the woods from fire is protect ing their game. It is hoped that during the next few months all hunters, both local and visitors, will exercise every care against starting forest fires that they may destroy both timber and game. A Reminder Because we want to save time and trouble for our readers, we remind again that E, F. and G drivers must have their driver examinations before the close of business on Dec. 31 and all motor vehicles must be inspected before the New Year begins. The courts won't protect you in either case if you fail in these matters. They say keeping everlastingly at it brings success, but Smith Brothers cough drops have now been on the mar ket for 100 years, and people are still coughing. ? ?SQCI4TY Rowland-Stevens Miss Doris Stevens, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Stevens, of Southport, was married on Monday evening, November 22, to Ralph Rowland, member of the crew at Oak Island Coast Guard Station.

HEALED OF CANCER BY (Continued From Page One) Mr. Benton said that he knew| this to be old "Nick" talking to: him, and so he turned aside into, a clump of woods and knelt down. J There he prayed until the first J "voice" returned, reassuring him' that Mrs. Mintz had been healed, and that he should consider the case closed. In a short while Mrs. Mintz was up attending to her duties as a housewife, and news of her miraculous recovery must have spread swiftly, for it wasn't long | before doctors of Duke Hospital sent for her, and there five X ray pictures were taken, and no trace of cancer could be found. And now, after fifteen years, rtrs. Mintz has not felt any symptons of the disease. While delivering a sermon in the Delco Freewill Baptist Church the Rev. Mike Hilburn of Leland mentioned this miraculous healing, and afterward I contacted Mr. Benton for the complete story. Unlike some who preach that they do not believe in doctors, Preacher Benton has much praise for them. He was totally blind for nearly three years, and then he underwent surgery in a Wil mington hospital, and his sight was restored.
