D. C. Hewett, District Game

released the following regulations
governing the hunting of wildlife
game animals in Columbus and
surrounding counties. The regula
tions have been adopted by the

sion.

1949-1950 hunting and trapping
seasons were set in Raleigh at a
meeting of the North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission,

Executive Director of the Commis
sion.
"The 1949-1950 seasons are bas
ed on a set a tentative regula
tions submitted to the considera
tion of sportsmen in each of the
nine Commission districts, and are
sincerely believed to be in the best
interests of sportsmen, game
species, and the 'wise use' pro
gram being emphasized by the

SHALLOTTE SCHOOL I

right and cause for discharging
them as members of the Shallotte
school committee.
Eoth men also have damage
suits pending in which each are
asking ten thousand dollars dam
ages and costs aginst Dr. R. H.
Holden, another member of the
school committee.
Emmett Bellamy, Wilmington
attorney, represents both of the
plaintiffs. The suits are separate
and costs are also asked in addi
Ition to the $10,000 for each of
I the plaintiffs.
J The complaint says that the de
fendant, Dr. Holden, "did falsely
and maliciously state to the
Brunswick county board of educa
tion that the plaintiffs had failed
to attend a meeting of the school
committee, of which they were
members and to which meeting
they were summoned. And did
I falsely and maliciously make cer
tain other defamatory statements,
(resulting in the dismissal of the
plaintiffs from the school com
.mittee and causing them to suffer
great mental and character dam
age.
The complaint alleges that
these statements were made by
the defendant for the purpose of
having them fired and replaced
on the school committee by men
who would be favorable to the
selection of principal Henry C.
Stone, whom they had declined
to reelect at a previous meeting
of the school committee.
Previous to the filing of the
present damage suits were filed
by Russ and Hewett more than
a month ago against the Bruns
wick County Board of Education.
These suits were to determine If
the board acted within the law
in dismissing Russ and Hewett as
school committeemen.

CATHOUC INFORMATION
Suffering . .. Here or Hereafter...
Suffering! Not a one of us can
escape it. Some have a lot of it.
Some have a little of it. Somei
saintly people have it in super-i
abundance. Some godless people:
seem to escape most of it.
Where is the justice of it all in
man's sight or in God's sight ?!
Let us state the Catholic explana
tion.
The chief reward of Heaven is
the presence of God, and God's
presence will not tolerate sin.
Sin is the willful breaking of
God's laws. He who dies unre
pentant of his grievous sins, goes
to hell. He who dies with a con
trite heart goes eventually to
Heaven.
But he who sins, though for
fiven, must make reparation in
suffering and cleansing for the
temporal punishment due to sin,
before his soul is fit to enter the
sanctity and purity of heaven. As
our Divine Lord, Himself, said:
"I say to thee, thou shalt not go
out from thence till thou repay
the last farthing" (Matt. 5:26).
Purgatory, then, is the place of
purging, of atonement, of paying
the last farthing. How severe the
punishment, how long the time,
have not been revealed by God;
but we do know that final salva
tion is assured to those who enter
therein.
But some may spend their pur
gatory on this earth. Sinners who
make reparation by prayer, sacre
fice, good works, and suffering
offered up in union with the
agonies of Christ, can purge their
souls and atone for their sins
wholly or partially, thus at death
going straight to heaven, or en
during a shorter stay in purga
tory.
Suffering! Not a one or us can
escape it. The saints prayed for
more of it. Why should not all of
us make use of it in this testing
ground called life?
"If any man will come after
me", said our Savior, "let him
deny himself, and take up his
cross and follow me" (Matt.
16:24).
What a consolation then at the
death of, say, a dear old mother?
one who has sacrificed and suf
fered so long and so hard for
God and neighbor?to feel that
long years ago, perhaps, she took
up her cross and followed Him
from Jerusalem to Calvary and
mayhap then direct into His arms
in heaven.
Consolation? Yes, T>ut more
than that?an explanation?per
haps the only explanation?for
the otherwise inexplicable In
equalities of this world.
If it's anything Catholic, ask a
Catholic!
