I PAGE 2 THE STATE PORT PILOT Southport, N. G. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY JAMES M. HARPER, JR., Eflfrr Bute red aa second-class matter April 20, 1028, at the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the act of March 3, 1879. Subscription Rates ONE TEAR 31.50 BIX MONTHS l.OO THREE MONTHS .71 11 - " - i , v?7?Wednesday, May 5, 1937 Some people pay too dearly for tlieii reputation for being different. Every man has his good days, but outstanding men use their best days as a standard. f Hear-say evidence is not admissable ir a court trial; it should not be used in private conversation to defame character, Whenever we hear of grown folks having the mumps or measles we have a feeling that they weren't brought up right. Desirable Citizens Much of the rural income of Georgetown county, South Carolina, comes from I several large plantations that are owned and maintained by wealthy men. n il-. itinifnr] rvrooii Chi'. necenu.v ?e vuncu uiuu.igi.-v.. u?. ' dens. The place was beautiful. Nature has done her noble best for that locality, and the beautification plans of landscape gardeners has completed the scene. In addition to attracting hundreds ot tourists visitors during the year, this plantation furnishes steady employment foi the heads of many families. Working on one of these large estates is equivalent to cultivating a year-round cash crop. No section of the Atlantict coast has more possibilities for development than does Brunswick county. If proper contacts are made, there is little doubt that wealthy persons, seeking a hobby, can be interested in developing in our county estates that will rival in grandeur any tc be found in North Carolina or South Car' olina. Mothers Day "WANTED?A woman to do genera' house work, nursing and washing foi family. Must also be practical nurse, anc be ready for day or night duty at a mo ment's notice. Must be cheerful at al I times and willing to humor the whims I i and wishes of each member of the fam H ily-" Can you imagine a sensible person answering an advertisement like that: |, Well, those are the cold words that des cribe the living: conditions ot the one per I, son in the world dearest to each of us? I our mother. Our mothers have been so devoted and self-sacrificing: for most of us that we I. have unconsciously come to take then* for granted. We don't remember how life was without them; we cannot realize the loss we will suffer when they are gone. Next Sunday is Mothers Day?a day fc that should be as universally celebrateel as any one of our national holidays. It is as little as we can do to try to make that day pleasant for our mothers. Mother love is unselfish, and mothers want nothing more than expressions ot I love from their children. These need not be expensive presents, for love is not measured in dollars and cents. Flowers, candy or, better still, a visit, will make your mother happy next Sunday. I Appreciation School is out on Bald Head Island, and | Brunswick County's only one-teachei [ school has closed for this term. With the j! transfer of the men from the Cape Feai I Coast Guard Station to Oak Island Statior [ it is a matter of doubt whether there wil be enough children on the island nexl I fall to reopen the school. From all reports Miss Bertha Reid ha: ji done a fine job this winter teaching grades from one to seven during the cour I., se of a single day. With the fine co-ope i ration of the older people, the litth I school gradually had become the centei f of interest on Bald Head Island. The peo ? pie will miss her. And we shall miss her, too, for it wa: she who has been sending in the interest ing news of Bald Head that has appearet I during the past few months. The placi I has a mysterious appeal for folks on th< | mainland, and we were always glad t< 1 get the news letter from Miss Bertha Rei< ?? a???? And while we are mentioning schoc , news, we wish to express our apprecia ; tion to Miss Elizabeth Taylor, Englisi i teacher, and members of the Shallott high school senior class for their Shai lotte School News column which the, .'faithfully reported during the winter am spring months. 1 Miss Edna Mintz reported the Wacca .' maw School News for us throughout th year, and we are grateful to her for fin ! work and faithfulness. Playground There is a fine opportunity for some ! body to assume leadership of the plaj j ground activities of Southport childre during the summer months. Time spent i play is free from mischief. The large square in the garrison wa used during the final weeks of school fc baseball and other sports by the boys 1 i There apparently is no reason why i | cannot be used all summer long for hea jthful, outdoor activity. li We have always believed that sport i are good for boys; that their value i , more far-reaching than just the musculo development. Lessons learned in sports manship and competetive temperamer are things that will be of value through out life. I Southport has the garrison and th boys. All they need is someone to direc the play during the coming months. Teach Them I low ine most dangerous gruu^ ui unvcn according to statistics, is the group whic ought to be the safest: The so-calle teen-age" class. When a person of eighl jeen or younger has an accident it is al I most always a serious one. It is 42 pe ' | cent more likely to be fatal than if an o der driver were involved. In the opinion of authorities, the chie difficulty is that young people who driv 1 cars lack both training and judgmenl They have had no formal instruction bt 1 hind the wheel. Usually they learn t drive by watching older persons or ; young companion. In this way they lear bad practices along with good ones, am being young, they are apt to exaggerat the bad and minimize the good. As on 1 bad apple contaminates a barrel, one poc driver can create dozens of worse ones i he attempts the role of teacher. Fortunately, the high schools of the n: .tion are recognizing a responsibility fc these facts. Some five thousand hig I schools in more than half the states ai now giving instructions in the principh I of traffic safety. Some schools are actua ., ly teaching their students how to driv I by giving real road training in real car 5 Three states, California, Indiana an . North Carolina, have made such instrui tion compulsory, while state departmeni . of education in 28 states have issue ' model courses of study in traffic safet; - The subject of good driving has becom the fastest growing movement in the hi: - tory of American education. Already there are significant results. I [ Rhode Island, more than a thousand hig ; school boys and girls were taught t i drive in a course sponsored by the Mote i Vehicle Department of that state. Thei 1 driving records were kept in a specif file for a period of three years. In a that time not one of the youngsters wa I involved in a reportable accident and nc i one was convicted of a traffic violatioi - Outstanding educators say there is n greater function for education than tea ; ching children how to do better, th things they may expect to do in life. Cei tainly, teaching them how to drive moto cars so as not to kill themselves or other; fits neatly into that definition. If you want information on the weatt er, the national monetary policy, and it ternational affairs, ask a street corne loafer. I People wonder where old jokes gc ' They're re-worded, rehashed, and hande out over the radio. 1 So the yo-yo returns. It could be wors - perhaps though, because it could hav been jig-saw puzzles. 5 ? Some people like to get away fror - themselves. They should, because ba - company isn't good for one. rj It's easy to mend almost everything ej - cept a person who is broke, to our notioi ?? Si About the only thing a person cannc - buy on the installment plan now is I home in Heaven, perhaps. a e Some men are so two-faced that it's a wonder the barber doesn't have to shav II them twice. I - THE STATE PQRT PILOT Jj Just Among y. The Fishermen (J : (BY W. B. KEZIAH) Brady l_ j The stage seems all set for tt e resumption of the 1937 fres L water fishing season on ne> e Monday. Postmaster Yaskell ha ithe boat. Forest Warden Dawso I Jones has the trailer on which ; is to be hauled to the pond, yoi j columnist has the minnow tra land bucket and is expected to c ail the work of catching the ba minnows and digging furrums. , | InquiryAfter having it in the pall per last week a man from n Alaska coming here to go fishing. it is hard to believe that anyone so near to us S as St. Louis. Mo., should ! write in to the Civic Club to ask if thfere was any good ''1 fishing here at Southport. it; That is just what E. F. |-1 French did last Saturday. He's been told all about it since then. IS Table Use is A co-ed fishing party froi Charlotte came in Friday nigl and caught the fixings Saturda 5- morning for a fish fry at nooi it Still not satisfied, they went fi; |hing again in the afternoon an caught the wherewith on whic I their self-appointed cook an e Ikitchen police prepared suppe , 'The wind was from the east an it was not a good day for fisl j ing, but neither the fish or tti | party seemed to mind. Conflict A friendly farmer boy tells us that there is one thing- on which nature failed to balan5' ce itself. He was referring to h the fact that the busiest sead son of the year for the farmers and the itch to go fishing always come along at I- the same time. You just have j. to do the work and you just . can't resist the urge to go i fishing. Unfavorable f The local fishermen are n< favorably disposed to any pn e i position to build a road froi 1.1 Port Fisher to Bald Head Islani j If such a thing is ever done Bal I Head will cease to be an islar 0 i of Brunswick county. It will I a'only a peninsula running 01 n I from New Hanover. The loci . sentiment is to let the island ri '> main an island, and this is s e it should be. As an island it e famed far and near. Insurance ir It would not be a bad idea if for all the Southport boats thdti cater to fishing parties to i have a shrimp trawl as I" part of the equipment. On ir those rare occasions when |1 the fish won't bite the trawl could be put into service and "e enough shrimp and fish could ;s be taken to recompense the j. party for what they paid for the boat. This would guard e against disappointments and S. would assure the fishing pnr(j ties of always getting something at Southport. Suggestion ts Operators of boats carrying 01 <-]: fishing parties are urged to ke< a log or register, showing tl | names and addresses of all in tl e I party.

At another poil . on the coast the Civic Club hi several parties keeping such n 11 gisters and they will be avai g! able for interesting parties ar bringing them here next seaso | Advertise I, Brunswick county people Q making good catches of fish, either salt or fresh water, are urged to write in a ree port to the Southport Civic Club. The story will be published and it may serve as T good advertising of the sec| tion in which the catch is made and the party making it. Rough [.! Some twenty or more Wilminj | ton fishermen came down earl " j Sunday morning and embarke T1 on Capt. E. L. Krahnke's Volusi for a day outside. They encoui [ tered heavy weather and roug i.seas which made the Volusia pi > back into port at noon with moi J of the passengers looking as they were suffering from ses sickness.

II Before turning stock into a II pasture where nitrate has been II applied, he said, be sure that en- II ough rain has fallen to wash the II nitrate off the grass and down I ! into the soil.
