The State Port Pilot Southport, N. G. Published Every Wednesday IAMES M. HARPER, JR Editor 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 Wednesday, September 14, 1949 School Columns We commend to our readers the school columns which made their first appear ance of the year in The Pilot last week. We hope that they will follow the sche dule of last school term and will be re gular weekly features. From our own point of view, we con sider these columns of news by the young folks about the young folks to be among the most valuable features of this news paper. On the other hand, we believe that the students who accept the responsibil ity of preparing and mailing in the news each week are gaining valuable exper ience for themselves and are rendering a great service to their respective schools in letting people in every section of the county know what is going on in the way of student activities. We are proud of our school columns, and right now our principal concern in this connection is to get lined up with the two schools which thus far have not join ed in the effort to let the people of Bruns wick county know what is happening in our schools. $1.50 , 1.00 .75 Indian Summer Almost everyone we have seen during the past few days enjoyed the first sam ple of fall weather which visited this sec tion during the week-end. But on the basis of past experience we feel called upon to pass along the remin der that there will be many days during the next few weeks that will be much more suggestive of summer than of fall. Both September and October will have plenty of days during which the thermo meter will move up into the high eighties. This is what makes it true that these two months are among the best for visits to the beach, particularly if fishing hap pens to be one of your major interests^ The conventional beach season is past, of course; but it will be a lucky family that plans to come back for one more trip before fall sets in for keeps. What Others Say It is sometimes worth knowing just how things look to other people. Bruns wick county farmers and Brunswick county people in general may be interes ted in an editorial that appeared in the Wilmington News, Friday. Under the caption, "Brunswick Forges Ahead," the News had the following: "How are things going in Southeastern North Carolina? "Let's use the headlines from yester day's edition of The News to illustrate the agricultural progressiveness of one ? Brunswick ? of the several counties form ing this fine region. "Brahmans Top Other Cattle on Mar ket." "Brunswick Cattle Interest Jumps Af ter Sampson Visit." "Brunswick Man Records High Tobac co Yield." "Back of these headlines are stories substantiating the fact that Brunswick, containing some of the best farm land in Eastern Carolina, is hastening to enrich itself through its natural resources. There was a time when too extensive absentee ownership held Brunswick back. But its industrious farm people have overcome that disadvantage. And in doing so, they have not only reaped considerable personal reward but contributed to the overall bettermen of Southeastern North Carolina. "Only serious agricultural shortcom ing remaining in our neighboring county is inadequacy of markets. But construc tive attention is being given to this and, . should preliminary plans be developed and carried through, the day may not be into its own as one of the state's better agricultural counties." The People vs Polio Few people have missed hearing or reading something about the National Emergency Polio Fund. If there is any one who hasn't been moved by this ap peal or touched by the haunting spectre of fear that we might not give enough or give soon enough, nothing we can say now will cause such a person to see the need. This editorial is addressed rather to those who heard the appeal, experien ced the urge to contribute and then put off the matter of writing a check. Never has the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis faced such a cris is ! Never before since the organized war on polio came into being has there been a like situation! Next mosth and next January will be too late. We, here in Columbus County, know the sad story of polio. We know that polio isn't like pneumonia from which the patient either gets well or dies. In stead, polio leaves its crippled legs and arms and pain-racked bodies. It leaves patients in hospitals where the cost of treatment may go on and on. What could you do if polio struck your son or daughter tomorrow; that is, what could you do without the National Foun dation for Infantile Paralysis? Could you bear the expense of months and months, and perhaps years, of treatment at $350 per month? Could you? We're address ing this question to Mr. and Mrs. Aver age Family. If you couldn't, then you must realize that the one and the two and the five dollars you give to the polio fund now may be the insurance which will protect you and your children if there is an un fortunate tomorrow. Brunswick County has received $9,000 from the National Emergency Fund in less than 20 months. That help meant the difference between bringing polio suffer ers home to live or die without hope of further treatment and a continuation of the fine care they have received and are receiving. But that help cannot continue without our financial support now. If this appeal had been made when infantile paralysis was striking right and left last year, we know what our answer would have been. We think we know what our answer is going to be now. We hope that no person, however rich or poor, will fail to give something. Re member the widow's mite ! If we do our share, the results will be satisfactory. Have you given that dollar, that five dol lars, that $25 or that $100? Have you written that check ? RALEIGH ROUNDUP By Eula Nixon Greenwood SETTLING DOWN . . . Word comes from out the Capitol that the Scott administration is now in process of "settling down" to the busi ness of running the State. There have been quarrels, back-bltinjf, in vestigations, and general confusion ? and some little items that would make your hair curl just to read them ? but there is work to do and it will be done. CLAP . . . During dull, dark days of winter when things were quiet in the State Agriculture Department, , Scott, as Commissioner of Agri culture, would walk down the hall and slap his hands together in such a way that the clap made sounded like rifle fire. Stenographers would stick their heads outside their office doors only to see their big boss striding up and down the corridors like a lion in his cage. Why did he walk that way and why did he disturb the peace? Nobody ever knew. "The Commis sioner's a character", the employees would say. That seemed to be the only answer. NOTES . . . State employees want to work longer hours on Monday through Friday and stay off work on Saturday . . . Gov. Scott says he thinks it will not work out, but will "go along" with the committee now working hard on the study. What do you think the com mittee's recommendations will be ? in view of Scott's statement? . . . The State Supreme Court may be re quested for a ruling on the matter of spend ing part of the $200,000,000 (for roads) bond issue for road machinery . . . . . . Remember two years ago ? and four years ago ? how Rep. John Folger and Thur mond Chatham were at each other's throats over the seat in Congress? The fight waa ter rific. Well, Rep. Chatham's son recently mar ried former Rep. Folger's niece. That is what you would call an unbeatable combination in Surry County . . . OFF THE CUFF . . . Here are some of the games of the gridiron which will be carried over N. C. stations ... 40 of them in ail . . . this fall: Duquesne ? WF, State-Carolina, WF SMTJ, Ga. ? Car., WF-Car, George ? town-WF, Car. ? LSU, Car. - Tenn., Duke ? WF, Car. ? No tre Dame, Villanova ? State, and Va. ? Car. . . . So, wherever you live, you should be able to get all the big games merely by a twist of your wrist . . . MEMBERSHIP DRIVE (Continued from page one) ers, Edwards said. He pointed to the Tobacco Stablization Corpora- j tion as the handiwork of Farm | Bureau. If tobacco growers would total their benefits from every j 1 basket of tobacco sold through 1 the Tobacco Stabilization Pro garm, there would be no question j [of a 100 per cent membership in' {Farm Bureau, he suggested. ! | "We are faced with the task of saving the gains," Edwards | said in conclusion. "We must unite in Farm Bureau to protect I our interest." ? State President Edwards de j clared he had traveled through i out the State preaching the gos pel of Farm Bureau without pay and without even an expense ac count "because I am selfish." Ex plaining this statement, he said he realiezd that as a farmer, he couldn't prosper unless other farmers prospered. "I'm selfish enough to want to get a decent living from my labors. And I'm convinced that a strong Farm j Bureau is essential to farm pro j sperity." !

Not Exactly News C. N. Sanders, a new member of the South port high school faculty this year, found an old shipmate when he moved to town. He and Tommie Garner served aboard the same U. S. Navy Attack Transport during the war . . . During the past ten days Southport has had a visit from the Governor, who came down from Wilmington to see Warren Hood; from Dr. Norton, State Health Officer, who came down to see Dr. Floyd Johnson; and from C. D. Baucom, chief of the State Bureau of Weig hts and Measures, who was another Hood visi tor. So it would see that at long last some of the top State officials have discovered the ex istence of Brunswick county. When Mr. Garfield Simmons learned that the little boy he was talking to ''in Southport last week was the grandson and namesake of the late C. Ed Taylor he handed the youngster a dime saying, "Here, Son, go buy yourself an ice cream cone". Which shows that the Republi can old guard still hasn't given up the ghost . . Skippy Stiller was showing some of the boys how to boot a football out on the garrison one afternoon last week.

When you see in a Catholic church, shrine, or home a picture j or statue of our Blessed Savior , with arms outstretched in invita tion, with heart glowing with love | and bleeding in anguish, you are witnessing the sequel to a little story of a great love nearly 300 years old. ? In a convent in France in 167S, I a humble little nun had the one I great love experience of her life; j and requited love it proved to be, for her beloved Jesus appeared to her in the flesh and with detailed, directions made her the instru-| ment of spreading throughout the world the beautiful Devotion to the Sacred Heart. The account of the Divine Visi tation was first dtfufcted; then in vestigated, and finally officially recognized by the Catholic Church. That is why today Christ's own directions to her whom we nowj venerate as St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, are being fulfilled in every land. That is why the Feast1 of the Sacred Heart is celebrated on a special day every June. That is why on the First Friday mor ning every month millions of Catholics take into their breasts their God in Holy Oa and spend an evening hs ing His Real Presence ? under the appearance i In essence the devobxt Sacred Heart means ttti tion and appreciation o! 4 Man's love for us isybfc His Sacred Heart) anitki of our love to Him in rai for our own sins and the millions who ignore. ^ hate Him. In this beacM worship Catholics try uii plea of Jesus Himself, mi the humble nun: "Dopti console and rejoice rte h ing as much as you cui ingratitude." There is nothing acrid Heaven than Gods kvtf There is nothing more I earth than man's lovti Jesus Christ loves us u<l us so. If we love Jifll should we not tell Hie f' "Oh Sacred Heart cf i implore that I may ere* more and more!'' It it's anything Catlaiti Catholic! For further infomaan P. O.
