TWO THE STATE PORT PILOT \ Southport, N. C. j PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY JAMES 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 $1.50 SIX MONTHS 1.00, THREE MONTHS 75 WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1935 j The dime chain is just another proof ^ that a lot of people still haven't learnedI you can't get something for nothing. Financial experts agree that the de-!' pression has been routed, and let us all j hope that there is no return route. M j] Chief American Hoodlum Huey Long ] trots far more nuDlicitv in the daily press! *- than a man of his type deserves.

How can a mdn, whose 1 life has been spent in teaching the doctrine of brotherly love, become a member] of an organization whose sole purpose is i the destruction of human life. In simpler * words, we asked that question. j "In serving as a chaplain in the army," 1 he said, "I do not endorse the institution 1 of war. But the Bible commands that 'Ye go where men are.' My place is where t there is greatest opportunity for service. 1 In time of war, there are thousands of 1 men in the army who are in need of i spiritual influence and advice. That is t why I am proud of my commission as army chaplain." s That explanation was good enough for i us. We had never thought about the mat- s ter in that light; and perhaps many of t our readers haven't. j { VOCATIONAL TRAINING 1 j ! 1 We had the opportunity last week to visit the camp near Southport of Com- ' pany 427 of the Civilians Conservation Corps. This was our first visit to one of the CCC camps and, naturally, we were < in lrjoyminr* oil oKnnf 4-1-1/% />ow%y% 4 Jllb^I^OVVU AAA AVUIAAUig Cv A A UUVUt IJ1C V. CI I 11 \J, I the men, their work and activities. The local camp has a high rating, ac- j cording to figures showing the grades of j the various camps in this corps area. Dur- 1 ing our inspection of the camp, we saw j good reason why this is true. The work that the men are doing in i reforestation has become so well organi- i zed that the efficiency of that program 1 is no longer a problem. Working eight hours a day, five days a week, the men have much leisure time. It is the use of this time that made the greatest impression on us. For the usual forms of recreation there are the library and athletic playgrounds. But in the evening there are educational classes of various kinds?classes that teach everything from reading and writing to making and reading blue prints. The woodcraft shop apparently has been (a center of activity, for there are many useful articles of expert workmanship being made by the men in their spare time. The object of this program is to make better citizens of the men who enroll for! CCC service. Many of the things they, I THE STATE PORT 1 learn in the classes and shops during; their spare time will doubtless enable; them to earn a better living when their; period of enlistment has been completed.! It seems to us that this is the finest ac-j complishment of the camp, helping these: men to find themselves. RESTRICTIONS REMOVED The removal of all restrictions fromj The Peoples United Bank of Southport,; following a re-organization meeting held here Thursday afternoon, is an actionj that is sure to mean much to the financial future of Brunswick County. Although the bank has been open on! a restricted basis during the past twoj pears, there was something about that condition that caused a feeling of uneasi-j less and made many people unwilling to ; place their savings in its keeping. The situation now is entirely changed. f\ll deposits up to $5,000 are secured by Federal Deposit Insurance. The removal >f restrictions means that old accounts ield by the bank may now be used by i< Jepositors, just as funds of new deposi-l ors have been available all along. Officials elected by stockholders of the i' lank are men of business ability and un-j1 luestioried integrity. J. W. Ruark, re-|, elected president, is a man who has serv- p ;d Brunswick County well in public of- 1 ?ice and is a man in whom the people ] I-a wl n r\r\ f li oiv fvnef 1 ,aii wen anui u tu piinvii w uou. i Tudge Peter Rourk, vice-president, is a nan of business ability and enjoys the; ull confidence of his friends. J. W. fates, cashier, is a former vice-president >f the North Carolina Bank and Trust Company. He has had years of experience; n the banking business and is thoroughly! amiliar with banking problems. S. Bunn rrink and R. R. Stone, the other two directors, are well known men. No business institution in a town or :ounty enjoys a greater opportunity for: service than a bank that has the confi-j lence of the people. It is the hub of the vheel of progress in any community. Brunswick County citizens should forget j ;hat there was ever any question concerning its soundness has now been renoved and the institution deserves the ?ull support of the people. WELCOME VISITORS Southport will have as her guests tonorrow members of the Eastern North: Carolina Hospital Association and citi-1 sens of the town should do everything in ' ;heir power to make the visitors feel at lome. I The hospital officials will be here upon | ;he invitation of members of the staff of I she Brunswick County Hospital. Memiers of the Hospital Auxiliary will have i prominent part in the program of enertainment.

I' , j The Legislature has met and adjourn- ] ;d. Four months elapsed between these J ;wo events. l When the Assembly convened shortly i ifter the New Year, there were many groups' of people filled with high hopes ( chat the session might result in some good ; for themselves. Perhaps the group needing help the most were those teaching school. Perhapsthey didn't get as much as they had an-j ticipated out of the Legislature this year, but they did get a salary raise. But in the main, they must have learned something. They must know from past experience that with the Legislature, the fellow who yells the loudest gets the most. That's usually the way it is. This year they cried aloud for what they wanted, and while what they got may not have been sufficient, it's more than they got two years ago when they chose to remain silent and let their fate rest solely in the hands of their legislators. And we'll venture that henceforth those :in educational circles will keep their lungs well developed in order that their yells may be heard above the constant din of professional lobbyists and patronage seekers.

The clash of policies before a measure reaches the White House is -10thing compared to an outrighl rejection of a veto. It is small wonder that the Democratic members of Congress, in particular, are shaking in their boots as hey await the reaction from their home districts after the jmoke of battle has lifted. ^ The Democratic leaders in the Senate are placing important legislative proposals in a sieve to leparate the wheat from the :haff. The NRA extension bill vill soon be placed on the dooritep of the House. The commitees in charge of the utility holdng company bill are putting on (team in an attempt to get this iroject on the preferred list beore adjournment. Many vital neasures will undoubtedly fall by he wayside. Such is the fate of egislation that encounters parliamentary snags during the closing veeks of a long and hectic sesson. The tactics utilized in whipjawing a rebellious Congress into line to force an acceptance o 1 the Roosevelt ideas are not entirely new. it is an old time ?ame of matching the Senate igafnst the House, knowing that ooth are jealous of their prerogatives granted by the founders )f 4,16 Republic. The House is particularly susceptible to the weather vane of public sentiment Administration leaders point oul that the hustings are approaching with the result that recalcitrant solons usually forget theii peeves and vote according to the White House dictates. There are receptions to the rule. The bonus a an illustration. The stamp ol approval from the White House will probably help Democratic in'umbents in their re-election efforts. Legislators are essentially opportunists and play along "here it will bring political regards. Though 13 months will elapse oefore the gavels fall on the natonal conventions of the two major parties, scouts are now afield sounding out sentiment in state political carnps. Several willing Presidential aspirants are watchng the drift of their trial balloons. So far, no Democratic rivHs art- courting popular favor as t is conceded that the present :cc?pant of the White House has the nomination in the bag.
