Pirate Log By: The Three Buccaneers Kat, .Ian and Peg Friends, this is hello and good- j by. Hello for this week and good hy until the next school term. "We would like to dedicate this ' c61umn to the Shallotte high school senior class of 1948-49. I Since they have been our friends for many years, it is hard to look toward another school year with out them. The last three days at school were packed with exams and fun. Because the two don't seem to mix let us explain that the fun was had after exams were over. Sunday morning the Rev. Rus sel A. Caudill preached the bac calaureate sermon, xne invocation Was led by the Rev. H. B. Ben CATHOLIC INFORMATION Don't Eat That ? It's Poisoned ! "Now, children, be good while Mother's out. Don't play with the matches! Don't lean out the win dow! Don't eat that cake in the pantry ? it's poisoned for rats!" \Vhat a lot of commands! What restrictions on the children's free dom! But who can question that a mother has both the right and the duty to give s>';h commands ?( Ever since Christ said to Peter: "Fcied my lambs. Feed my sheep", Holy Mother Church has exer cised the right and duty to feed herchildren God's spiritual food and to protect them from poisons, skill fully concocted to ruin the faith and morals of the unwary. It is for this reason that the Church has its Index of Forbid den Books. | The Index is wisely misunder stood. It does not list by title and name all books and authors for bidden to the Catholic. In fact those so listed are comparatively few and consist largely of works about whose character there was a doubt and upon which therefore the Church had to make public i decision. I The application to the great mass of Catholics is in the Gener al Rules of the Index, which plainly show the type or charact er of work, the reading of which I is dangerous to faith and morals! and therefore forbidden under pain, of grievous sin. If books of such a character are not known to the! individual by reputation, they soon make themselves manifest in the reeding; and the loyal Catholic immediately closes such a book. i The General Rules of the Index] closely parallel God's natural law, , which forbids any man deliberate ly to lead himself into tempta tion;, for example, by such things as sinful companions, places of | ill-repute, obscene plays and i motion pictures. That ' the Index hampers free dom of thought is not true, un less license to obsorb error and to dwell on impurity can be call ed "freedom of thought." And the Church is eminently fair and practical. Just as the doctor or chemist is permitted to use drugs and poisons forbidden to the mas ses, so the wellfortified Catholic teacher or scholar may be dis pensed by the proper authorities from such rules of the Index, the observance of which would inter fere with some necessary study or research. Christ said, "He that heareth you, hereth me," and so the ap preciative Catholic bows his head in loving submission when Holy Mother Church says: "Don't read that ? it's poisoned!" If it's anything Catholic, ask a Catholic! For further information write P. O. Box 331, Whiteville N. C. [ nett and the high school glac [club entertained with "Above thf ! Hills of Time" and "Gloria Patri.'1 1 Monday and Tuesday all th$ | students with the exception of [ the seniors had to get down to I business. All their study halls and even their 15 minutes recess was used for studying. The nervous students went to exams looking like they were going to meet their death. [ Tuesday night was the night of nights for the seniors. Their graduation, the time they had longed to see, had come. Follow ing the processional the invoca tion was led by the Rev. H. B. Bennett which in turn was follow ed by the salutation by Eleanor Thompson. The Junior Glee Club assisted by Geraldine Cox next entertained with "Mighty Lak A Rose" followed by "Night Winds''^ a duet by Ramona Frink and Kathleen Clemmons. Next Waban Thomas, senior class president, presented the school with a large United State flag and money with which to buy playground equip ment for the grammar grades. Speaking for the school we know these gifts will be appreciated greatly. Principal H. T. Stone presented the Hamilton Mint; memorial cup to Waban Thomas and the Dr. Goley plaque to Clara Hewett. The next feature which was enjoyed very much was the valedictory speech by Betty Jane Downer. The program was ended with the presentation of the diplomas to Betty Jane Downer, valedictorian; Eleanor Thompson, salutorium; Ross Marie Holden, Helen Hewett, Hilda He wett, Betty Jane Hewett, Olive White, Susie Ann Wilson, Clara Hewett, Margaret Ann Roach, Gladys Hewett, Marie Hewett, Mary Fyna Clemmons, Mary Lou Hewett, Elva Gray Sellers, Ra mona McLamb, Audrey Gore, Waban Thomas, Wiilard Todd, Claudie Beck, Otis Fulford, L. L. i ' Hewett, 3am Flecher Frink and t [Hubert Cheers. I Among the group were many happy but tear-stained faces. ' j They were happy that they had i ' reached their goal but sad to i think of leaving their classmates, ^teachers and friends behind. Not [only to the seniors of Shallotte ? but to all seniors everywhere we 1 wish much success and happiness (in facing the world. Mascots were Shirl Grissett and Phil Milligan. Marshals were BiUie Kate Leonard, Chief; Selene Re gister, Geraldine Cox, Audrey Milligan, Ruth Galloway, Viona Sellers and Rosalie Clemmons. Friday night Sylvia Sermons entertained the seniors and a few friends with a party at her home. Together with games and the seniors talk of old times the party proved to be very entertain ing. Delicious punch and cookies were served. Friends, we hope you have en joyed reading the school news as much sis have enjoyed writing it. We hope everyone of you have the best vacation ever and until the next school term-so long. News Pictures To Be Released John Henaer Wn? In County Last Week To Do Series On Sheppard Plant Farnj And Method* Of Handl ing Pl*nt? The widespread distribution last fall of Reigel Paper company cat tle pictures and story and also of pictures and story of John Fern aide and his pack of bear hounds Is likely to be eclipsed with real benefit to Brunswick county in the near future. John Hemmer, State News Bur eau and Department of Conserva tion and Development photograp her, made the Reigel brahma cat tle pictures and also the pictures of Fernside and his hounds. Hem mer was back last week for two days and during this stay three solid hours were spent in the photographing of the Everett H. Sheppard tomato plant farm on the River Road. This River Road area seems to be especially suited for the com mercial early spring growing of plants for truckers, etc., in east ern states. Securing the pictures of the plant growing activities last week, Hemmer, through Bill Sharpe of the State News Bureau, will distribute the pictures And stories throughout the United States. ji In the making ?f the pictures empha?s was laid on the toraito plant packing assembly Jlne, 4aid to be the only line of its kind in the world and with facilities for packing a hundred thousand plants per hour. This assembly line pictures will be of real news value and will give reader Inter est to the story, assuring wide usage. In addition to the regular dis tribution avenues of newspapers and magazines, special efforts will be made to serve canning trade journals with both story and photographs. It is believed that such matter judiciously hand led will interest the plant pro duction men of the big canning Industries into coming to. Bruns wick to look over the possibilities of producing their plants at some point in this county. Tobacco Will Be Harvested Soon Reports Indicate "JTiat First Cropping WiU Be Made Early Next Week In Sev eral Sections Quito a number of Brunswick county growers will begin their anual toil at cropping and curing tobacco by next week. Register of Deeds Ames J. Wal ton stated this week that he had five acres of exceptionally fine tobacco reaching above his shoul ders. He will begin curing by n?xt Monday, according to his present expectations. County Commissioner George B. Ward is also very much pleased at the advanced condition of his cjop. He stated while here Mon day that he would begin curing in a few days. According to these and other farmers it begins to look as , if, a whole lot of the Brunswick county tobacco will be out of tbe fields, in the barns and out aga,in waiting for the graders before even the earliest water melons get ripe to ease off some of the hot labor attendant on cropping and curing tobacco. Bee Raider Gets Into Croom Trap It was moving time in Green Swamp last week but the moving was not popular with Oscar Croom, farmer and honey pro ducer. A honey-loving bear raided thf bee yard of Mr. Croom %nd de stroyed and made off with a dozen stands of bees. Some of tl\e stands were carried five and six hundred yards away. Croom, an arch-enemy of the raiding bears, got permission from game protectors to set a trap. He got his bear and added an other skin to his trophies.
