The State Port Pilot Southport, N. G. Published Every Wednesday I AMES M. HARPER, JR. 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 SIX MONTHS THREE MONTHS .$1.50 . 1.00 . .75 Wednesday, August 10, 1949 t Pay Up We once heard a very wise man say that no matter how much money you have to your name in the bank, it does not belong to you so long as you owe money to someone else. Many of our farmers who are now in the midst of their seasonal prosperity will do well to heed this warning. The easiest time in the world to pay a debt is when you have the money with which to do it. The surest way in the world to keep your credit good is to pay your just obli gations. These may sound like trite repetitions of obvious truths, but they are bits of ad vice which our people well might follow. And just this final admonition in this sermon about paying your debts: "Don't forget your doctor, your dentist nor your church pledge. Just because none of these creditors holds a mortgage or a note is no reason to wait until the last thing to pay them. Notable Improvement As a rule we do not devote a large amount of space crediting donations, re gardless of how worthy the cause may be ; but this week we are breaking over because of the forceful impression we re ceived about recent improvements at Dosher Memorial Hospital. The moment you walk in the front door on your next visit you will realize what we mean. The walls and floor of the lob by and hall are fresh and clean looking, but it is not until you pass through the sun porch that you will fully appreciate the splendid job of decoration and fur nishing. We can sum it up by saying that it is something you can well afford to be proud of. First of all we should say that none of these improvements would have resulted had it not been for the untiring efforts of members of the Hospital Auxiliary and particularly the president of this fine organization, Mrs. H. B. Smith. There could be no finer measure of the importance attached to hospital auxiliary work than the fact that this is one of the requirements for an accredited hospital. The local organization does much more than meet this requirement; and we sometimes think that there is no more im portant department of the county hos pital. When they start out on a project the main job for the Hospital Auxiliary members is to get a little help from a lot of people and accomplish some major undertaking. This is what was done in connection with redecorating and refur nishing the sun porch ; but since some of the donations reached such generous por portions, we think that our people will want to know about them. First there was the matter of paint, and all of this material was donated by Atlantic Paint & Varnish Co. of Wiftnin gton through their local dealer, L. H. Harrison, who has taken a personal in terest in the work. Drapery materials with which to complete the job were do nated by Hobson Kirby of Shallotte Trad ing Co. The matter of furnishing the sun porch called for some major financing, but this job was made easier when Leon Todd of Todd Furniture Co. and Mrs. Jones of Wilmington Furniture Co., both of Wilmington, agreed to furnish the room at net cost. Funds for this purpose and other re quirements were raised principally from a benefit supper ? put on by members of the Hospital Auxiliary ? with provisions furnished by friends and patrons of the hospital. Typical was the contribution of 12 grown hens by the membership of Bolivia Baptist church, colored ; and the contribution of all eggs needed by the school children of both the white and col ored schools of Southport. And while this by na means gives all the credit to all who deserves it, it does let our people know that conditions are improving at Dosher Memorial Hospital, thanks to the hard working women of the auxiliary and the generosity of many good citizens who have been called upon for help. Rovin' Reporter (Continued from page one) colm Lewis, Mre. Lewis being their teacher in the Durham schools. These boys were Louis Schwartz, Mike Brown and Phillip Motley. We have not been able to learn the first name of the fourth boy but his name was Detweiler C. C. McQulston, Burlington hosiery manufacturer who owns a nice summer home and has a nice family at Caswell Beach, forgot the cigars when his second son was born here in the Dosher Memorial Hospital last month. Without anything at all being i mentioned to him, he last week j made amends by sending us a j full box of very pretty sox by one i of his also pretty and almost growr.-up daughters. No one in Southport appeared I to know the address or names of I any of the relatives of the late ! Dr. Robert J. Hyatt. Mention of \ this circumstance was made in , | the paper two weeks ago follow- j in ghis death. This week Mrs. j Gilda Arnold Orenstein of Cape i May, New Jersey, writes the pap- I er that Dr. Hyatt has a daughter' Mrs. W. D. Imbeau, 4611 M Lex- j ington Avenue, Hollywood, Cali fornia. Mrs. Orenstein says that Dr- Hyatt also left a granddaugh ter is married and lives either in Hollywood or Los Angeles, Cali fornia. She feels sure that Dr. Hyatt's daughter can be located in Hollywood at the address she gives above. All reports of fishing trips | made by parties and boatmen out , of Southport are now being en | tered in a ledger. The name of the boat, captain and members of all in the party are recorded. Al so the post office address and the ! number and kind of fish caught. | Weather for the day will also be recorded. Boatmen should report every trip they make. The in formation will also be used for newspaper stories. Last summer we presented Mr. and Mrs. Ted Robinson a big watermelon. They had rented and were occupying' a cottage at Long Beach for the summer. The cot tage they rented was later sold to Charles Trott. This week Charlie stopped us on the street to say that the big melon which we gave to the associate editor of Time Magizine had reproduced itself in his front yard. The vine now has a 40-pound melon that 'will soon be ripe, according to Mr. (Trott. ROBINS NEST HAS NEW (Continued from page one) Mr. and Mrs. Targerson, the former owners of Robins Nest and the last tenants, were both writ ers. Since they moved away the 22-acre estate has grown up in beautiful woods. As soon as they get well settled in the home Mr. Hayes intends to devote himself to an acre or more of the grounds about the house, planting flowers and shrubbery. In a few years he expects to have one of the show places along the Cape fear. IMPROVED BUS TO Continued From Page One bus line at Pueblo found it neces sary to switch to buses with heavy duty deisel engines. Four of its buses with regular gasoline engines were acquired by the local corporation. CLYDE P. PATTON (Continued from page one) public, Mr. Patton then went into detail on the state's program of game management. Afterwards he answered various questions posed him by those present. At the close of the meeting everyone attended a fish fry which had been skillfully prepared while the meeting was in progress. BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT (Continued Frnn rage One) 1946. At the time it was destroy ed by fire it also was the post office site for the community of Longwood. Many towns with a history similar to that of Longwood have wasted away to nothing once their principal support has been remov ed, and for a few years hard times set in for this place. How ever, the land in the surrounding area was fertile, and more and more enterprising men developed good farms. Slowly at first, but steadily on the upgrade, Long wood began its come-back, this time with the solid back-log of a prosperous farming territory. Building records during the past few . years indicate better than anything else to what degree this recovery has been accomplished. One of the first to make a sub stantlal permanent improvement was Rice Gwynn, Jr., who erected The Country Store. Next came D. S. Gore, who built a general mer chandise store. Then came the new postoffice building, replacing quarters destroyed in the Brown Store fire. Former County Com missioner A. P. . Russ demonstrat ed his faith in his home commun ity by building a two-story brick building; and P. G. Russ follow ed with a large cinder block building for a furniture store. W. H. Long's Service Center is one of the latest business additions. Erection of Longwood Baptist church and several attractive re sidences help to round out the building picture. Meanwhile, colored residents of the community have been busy I with improvements. Among these are a high school of brick and cinderblock construction, a church and the R. L. Gore store. FATAL INJURIES (Continued from page one) more and has a 4-months old baby. Withington came to this sec tion from Dillon, S. C., and sev eral years ago married Single tary's mother. He had previously been married in South Carloina and has a married daughter, Mrs. | Alice Allen, at Dillon. Mrs. Allen j asked that the body be, sent to | Dillon for burial. Officers found a small unopen ed pocketknife of the dead man. The death weapon is said to have been a large, long-bladed pocket knife. Singletary surrendered this weapon to officers. In view of his admitting the slaying it was not necessary to hold an inquest. Singletary is being held for the September grand Jury. Sheriff Walter M. Stanaland made an investigation Monday into the circumstances surround ing the case, and when evidence was uncovered that the victim had been cruel to his wife and her children over a long period of time, he recommended to Solici tor Clifton L. Moore that Single tary be freed under bond of $5,000.00 Relatives were trying this week to raise this amount. WALLACE WADE IS Continued From Page One bert Clark of Winston-Salem. Mr. Wade's two small granddaughters, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Clark, are also at the cottage. Tentative plans for today or tomorrow include a trip out for the bluefish and mackerel. This trip has been arranged for any day this week when the boatmen do not have a regular party. If he can get away from his fresh water fishing ideas W. B. Keziah may go out with the party. The Blue Devil football mentor has been freshwater fishing with Mr. Keziah in past summers and the Better bus service to Whiteville this weeK, and we look for business to pick up on this route, which sreves Brunswick county's most progressive rural area . . .

Commander Red- ' wine says that owing to the fact that many ex-service men find it 1 more convenient to do such work at night, it was decided that the former service officer should be made available to help any of them on each regular meeting night POULTRY SHOW AT (Continued from pas* one) i tension service.
