The State Port Pilot Southport, N. G. Published Every Wednesday FAMES M. HARPER, JR Editor Entered aa second-class matter April 20, 1928, at the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1870. SUBSCRIPTION RATES DNE YEAR 1 SIX MONTHS - fHREE MONTHS Wednesday, June 29, 1349 One For All We were talking the other day to J. E. Dodson, former county agent, who says that he will be pleased to spend some time and effort in trying to develop a community spirit in Brunswick which will know no metes and bounds and which wil have as its ultimate aim the betterment of the whole county. We join with Mr. Dodson in the thought that we waste too much of our energy in Brunswick county squabbling among ourselves. The fact is that we have advantages in various sections which recommend those communities for some particular kind of development. There is no need of nor is there room for blanket jealousies. You will find in cities, counties and sections where progress is in evidence that the first foundation for social and business betterment is unselfish coopera tion. We believe that this is the right at titude for every good citizen of Bruns wick county to adopt, and when there is a chance o secure some help or improve ment for one community it should be a signal for citizens of every other section to rally to render whatever assistance possible. One thing which will materially assist in promoting a better spirit of under standing among our people will be more meetings and gatherings where we may have an opportunity to know and under stand each other better. We find that it is hard to hate or distrust a fellow you have shaken hands with and have sat next to at dinner. Brunswick county is a great place. It was made that way by nature. Man can do a lot to improve it by working with his fellow. $1.50 . 1.00 | . .75 | Too Much Talking It was Mark Twain, we believe, who once remarked that "Everybody is talk ing about the weather, but nobody seems to be doing anything about it." Well, the various needs of Southport are just like Mark Twain's weather, and until and unless some of our citizens who are capable of leadership assume some responsibility about improving condi tions, there is little likelihood of a change for the better. For instance, this is fishing season and there is little doubt that the best deep sea fishing off the North Carolina coast is done by parties leaving from South port. We have six good party boats available for charter daily, yet on most days they remain at the dock. Their skip pers spend a little money for cards and for advertisements in trade publications, but there is no active, concerted effort made to fill up every one of these boats every day during the season. One contributing cause is the fact that many parties go other places where the fishing is not as gooc| but where the ac commodations for spending the night are better. And there again the matter of the Mark Twain weather enters in. We com plain that we have no hotel in operation, we bemoan the fact that we do not have a tourist court, but not one single intelli gent step has been taken to correct this lack of housing facilities. We have hundreds of visitors at our nearby beaches each week, and many of them visit Southport while they are in this area ; but thus far there has been no effort on the part of our six churches, either individually or collectively, to urge these folks from all over North Car olina to go to church and Sunday School in Southport on Sunday mornings during the summer. All of us spend too much time talking about the things we need, and too little time in trying to develop and use to the best advantage the things that we have. I What Makes A Leader? "All of us can be good leaders some of the time if we learn to be good fol lowers most of the time," declares Dr.| Henry C. Link, psychologist and auth-; or, in The Reader's Digest for April. j Leaders are made, not born, Dr. Link; contends. They attain leadership not byj inherited talents but through habits and : skills acquired by practice. A study of i 40 leaders and 40 non-leaders among I high school students revealed that the j j leaders were those who had learned the ; ! habits of cooperation. A leader might j be the captain or manager in one or two activities but was merely a member of the team or group in other activities. Most of his time was spent not in lead ing but in being a good team-mate. He was elected to leadership because he had demonstrated his superiority as aj follower. Dr. Link notes, however, that "high scholarship may or may not contribute to leadership. The scholar who is also a good leader is doubly equipped, but the two do not necessarily go together."* Most people, no matter what their in heritance, can acquire some of the hab its of leadership, the author states. "Al most any skill which a person develops to the point of competence can give him a sense of confidence and a degree of leadership. The ability to express one self before a group is one of the more important skills of leadership. But even the homely arts of cooking, sewing, gar dening, being handy with tools, if de veloped to the point of superiority, can become the means of leadership." Competitive sports and creative work rank high among the activities which produce leadership, Dr. Link says. "Anyone interested in -developing his capacities as a leader might well begin i with an inventory of how many hours a week he spends in such static pastimes as watching the movies, listening to the radio and just plain sitting. If only a third of this time were applied to one or two creative activities the results would be gratifying." Adolescents vary tremendously in the rate and manner of their development, and parents shouldn't worry if their son is larger or smaller than the supposed "average" for his age, or seems slow to mature. "There is no average boy," de clares Dr. J. Roswell Gallagher, school physician at Phillips Andover Academy, in the Reader's Digest. RALEIGH ROUNDUP POLITICANS, TOO . . . Judges, whether they be superior, supreme, recorder court type, or of the county garden variety, art ? or have been ? politicans. This charge has been thrown at them for a thousand years, and though they have done a great deal of squirming, looking as judicial as possible all the while, they have not been able to live down the criticism. Some of the hottest and most bitterly con tested political campaigns waged in this State have been between judges. And ? on at least one occasion ? a man who had never engaged in the practice of law was named a Superior Court judge (and thus given the power to send men to death) simply because he supported the right man for Governor. Many a shirt-tail lawyer in North Carolina has often felt that the political opinions and connections of jurists have poured over and colored decisions ma,de by them. People would have more confidence in their judges if they did not have the political taint, but the situation in North Carolina is such that a lawyer who isn't a good politician stands a poor chance indeed of obtaining much of a promotion in his profession. NOTES . . . Ever heard the saying "Nobody is indispensable"? This is said to be one of Governor Scott's favorite maxims . . . The Durham Sun remarked the other day "The governor is writing a new book of Exodus". If you are not a student of the Bible, look up "exodus" and you will get the full meaning of that statement . . . But the changes being made now will be no greater than those four years hence in the event Scott is not able to name his successor . . . They say Scott is keeping Judge George Patton of Franklin on the bench because the Governor "considers him a good sport" ? even though he was a Johnson supporter. Also, when he was Assistant Attorney General, assigned to the State Agriculture Department, Patton help ed Agriculture Commission Scott straighten out some agricultural messes . . . . . . Rumor which 'will not be downed here is that Kerr Scott wants to succeed Senator Clyde R- Hooy next year . . . Mobbso . . but this column can't see it now . . .Why not Congress man Thurmond Chatham of Elkin, if anybody? L. P. McLendon of Greefisboro is said to be interested . . . . . . Did you see that H. L. Mocham of Ashe ville (Allied Farmers Coperative) was made head of prison farms last Friday, as predicted here? . . . The great number of speeches which Congressman Harold Cooley has made within the past three months are leading people to think he has another political job in mind . . As chairman of the House Agriculture Com mittee, he is on one of the hottest seats in the nation. .. . .Ogi FINISHING TOUCH (Continued From Pa*e One) next construction project on the River Road will be a complete !one, taking in all of the eight miles from Walden Creek to Lilli put Creek. Contracts for struc tures across Walden Creek, Orton spillway and Lilliput Creek will probably be let at the same time as the road. MIDWIVES WILL (Continued Frrm ra.ge One! clinics at two or more locations in Brunswick county." Dr. Johnson states that a nurse from the State Board of Health in Raleigh will be in the county to help get the program under way. NEW INITIALS UP (Continued from page one) court moved to Monday has made a big difference in the number of persons who have been show ing up for the past two weeks for examinations. He urges all ap plicants to study the Drivers Manual before coming in for their test. "Failure in this respect causes most of our trouble", the examiner reports. INTEREST GROWS (Continued from paie one) ing. They point out that in ad dition to every resident doing his part by spraying his home and outhouses, he should urge his neighbors to do likewise as that will eliminate much in the way of visiting flies and mosquitoes. Bolivia community appears to be one in which special efforts are being made. J. H. Tinga, Vet erans farm training teacher at that place, says that the workers are having to devote much time to explaining, time that they could better use at the work of spraying.

SOUTHPORT MAN Continued From Page One other carriers than the one from which he operated. This by rea son of constant shifting of the fleet and sometimes the exhaus tion of his gas supply before he could find his own carrier. His plane was on the Sartoga when the huge and famous old "Sar" was struck and badly dam aged by Jap suicide planes. Or dered into the air, together with all other planes on the flight deck of the Sara, his ship was shot down by other Jap planes before he could get well into the air. He got out before the plane could sink under him and swam around for two hours before he was picked up. When a new plane was assigned to him he was interested in find ing that it carried a card, say ing: "This plane was purchased with money raised by the Wom an's Club of Whiteville, North Carolina, in their sale of War Bonds."

If he's a Catholic the chances are that he is a member of his parish Holy Name Society. That means that once each j month he marches up his church j aisle with other members of his | Society at Sunday Mass to re ceive his God in Holy Communion. This he does for the glory of Jesus Christ, for the good exam ple it sets to others, and fo rthe untold graces he receives and re-! quires for the keeping of his Holy Name pledge. Holy Name men! Two and a( half million of them in America] alone! Men courageous enough to come forth boldly for God and Hisj Holy Name ? for truthfulness and Cleanliness of speech ? for the stars and stripes an dthe prin ciples of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for which they stand. Their leader, the gentle Jesus. Their battle-cry, "Blessed be His Holy Name!" Their armor, their manly virtue. Their missile, prayer shot to Heaven for you and for me and for the conver sion of the enemy. The Holy Name Pledge Blessed be God. Bessed be His Holy Name. Blessed be Jusus Christ, true God and true Man. Blessed be the Name of Jesus. I believe, O Jesus, that Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. I believe all the sacred truths which the Holy Catholic Church believes and teaches. I proclaim my love for the Cicar of Christ on earth. I promise to give good example by the regular practice of my faith. X pledge myself against perjury, blasphemy, profanity, and obscene speech. I pledge my loyalty to the flag of my country and to the God given principles of freedom, jus tice, and happiness for which it stands. I pledge my support, in honor of His Divine Name, to all lawful authority, both civil and religious. | I dedicate my manhood to the honor of the Sacred Name of 1 Jesus Christ and beg that He will keep me faithful to these pledges until death.

State Leads In Fertilizer Use Still The Leader In Fertili zer Consumption Over The Nation State Showed A Decline In 1948 WASHINGTON, D. C.? Al though North Carolina still leads the Nation in fertilizer consump tion, the State registered a decline in such use in 1948. Figures made available by The National Fertili zer Association show an estimated 1,554,581 tons were used by the State's farmers in 1948 as com pared to 1,646,673 tons in 1947. The eight South Atlantic States continued to be the section of heaviest consumption with the State of Georgia reaching a new record in 1948. However, in addi ction to North Carolina, five of the States (Maryland, Virginia, West ! Virginia, South Carolina and Florida) used somewnat less fert ilizer in 1948 than in 1947. | In the entire country, 1948 con sumption topped the previous re cord year of 1947 oy about 6 percent, 15,956,289 tons as against 15,039,376 tons. The 10-year record of uninter rupted increase in the level of fertilizer consumption is attribut able to several factors. An im portant influence, of course has been the desire of American far mers to increase their crop yields and their readiness to accept and apply scientific practices that will accomplish this end. Other fac tors include the declining reserve of plant food in the soil; the reali zation that greater yields per acre can be produced from many crops; the greater requirements of new high-yielding crop varieties such as hybrid corn; and the re cognition that pasture is a cash crop which should be fertilized.
