We have never been able to understand why people in the South never think of shooting firecrackers in celcbratI iiiv" the Fourth of July, but save them all for Christmas. Good Advice I , Last week when Governor Clyde R. fjoey officially launched the $250,000.00 advertising program for the State of North Carolina lie'stressed a very practical point when he insisted that it is the local responsibility of citizens of the var-l H ious communities to stage a thorough! H elean-ui) campaign that will make their , town or city show up to its best advan j tage to visitors. I That advice is particularly applicable H'? to Southi)ort. Less than six weeks from now hundreds of spectators will be atI tracted here for the first, annual yacht ing regatta. Civic minded persons are anxious that, every visitor carry away a I favorable impression of our town. Paint and repairs, of course, offer the bust tangible evidence of improvement. I But tliere are other less expensive things tliat can be done to improve the appear- j ajlpe of South port. Encouraging I ; The best news in two years about the bard surfacing of the Whiteville-Shal-j lcjtte highway was contained in the an nmincement that appeared last week regirding the bids for the project. j&ounds like something really is going Hi tqjibe done about the highway, and that Hi within the near future. iljjjim? Credit Is Due 'Last week is was our pleasure to attend two dinners given in honor of Dr. William S. Dosher on the eve of his depicture for Boston City Hospital, where hdi-will specialize in the study of gynocology and obstetrics. At the dinner Wednesday night, each m present was given an opportunity to m ke a brief expression regarding the d< arture of Southpori's young physician. Tnere was no doubt regarding the popularity of Dr. Dosher, and a brilliant future was freely predicted for him as his friends extended their good wishes. ,One neighbor who has known Dr. Doshjer since his early childhood arose and stated that he was going to depart from thjjiother things that were being said. His tribute would not be paid to William, he declared, but to his father and mother, Mp, and Mrs. W. .E. Dosher. It was through their patient care and sacrifice thtft they were able to rear and educate not just one, but four, children who have I become valuable citizens. It did us good to see deserved credit bejng given to Mr. Willie and to Miss Ndllie even in the excitement of a farewell party for their son. Wfrat It Cost Several weeks ago there appeared in TliC State Port Pilot an article, together with a picture, announcing that members * - t _ T of the Carolina Motorboat Association' + j 1 were anxious to come here, one Sunday to stage a series of speedboat races in the [ local harbor. The only obstacle in the way of obtaining this event was the question of providing expenses for boat-j j i owners to get their craft to Southport. i f 'f' From that issue to this there has been! no offer of support or co-operation in j connection with promoting the races. cf. This despite the fact that there would be |ev much local interest in the races, and that st there was every reason to believe that .ir hundreds of up-state visitors would come P< ' sh here for a Sunday afternoon of free en-1^ tertainment. 'ar Turning statistical for a moment, we th believe that it is conservative to estimate ^ that no less than two thousand visitors th would be attracted here for the Sunday th afternoon races. Figuring that there would be an average of four persons in each au- f0 tomobile, there would be five hundred da extra cars in Southport that day. Many!01 people would be here in time for Sunday ^ dinner, or would stay over for Sunday j" night supper. Practically all the visitors would want cold drings and refreshments j" while they were here. co So filling station proprietors have pas- in; sed up an opportunity to furnish gas and sa oil and service to five hundred extra cars ou in one day; boarding house operators th have overlooked the possibility for extra so guests for a Sunday dinner or a Sunday m night supper. Merchants did not stop to fh think that hotels, boarding houses and Jvl cafes buy their supplies from them, and co that the more they sell the more they ^ buy. And operators of every place in on town that sells candy, cold drings, ice cream and sandwiches on Sundav let slip fr' j... m through their lingers me uesi uav mej m will have this summer. C{ PC to The Line-Up iy m' i f i*i The impending cleavage of the Dem-'0f ocratic party is becoming an actuality. It is tending to obscure all other political news of the moment. at The Supreme Court bill, in the view of ur most political experts, is definitely dead. ^ It may not even come to a vote in the,bo Senate. If it does come to a vole, these:1* experts think it will be beaten by a mar- ^ gin of five or six votes. ar It is an open secret that Vice-President 11 Garner's departure from Washington for a vacation?an unprecedented action in ifi: an important legislative session?is due at jto major disagreements between him and.?0 the President. This seriously weakens Mr. ay Roosevelt's legislative machine in the ti? Senate?Mr. Garner has been extremely th ca efficient in getting legislation through, n and swinging recalcitrants into line. n A legion of incidents have lead the >n pc best commentators to say that in 1940 ct the voters may find themselves confront-1 ed with an entirely new political alignment?"liberals" of the New Deal school Cr on one side, and "conservatives" on the to other side. If this happens, the two old fa parties will be split wide open?both of p' them contain members who have almost ti nothing in common in their philosophies pl of government. sr In the meantime, labor becomes an in- fe creasingly important factor. Advocates of yf a more or less radical farmer-labor political alliance are being heard. And John a L. Lewis frankly looks forward to the day when organized labor will be direct- ti ly involved in politics, may lead a party le of its own. Whatever your opinion on these mat- sv ters, these are the facts of the case. Nev- F er was the political outlook more confus- ^ ed, or more difficult to forects. Almost tr anything can happen. c ol tt Aimed At South tr m The wage law which is being proposed f' in Congress for a minimum of $16 for a ai 10-hour week seems to have been rightly y dubbed a "pistol shot aimed directly at y. Southern industry." ? Reason seems quite obvious. The Yan- si kee who drew the measure knows nothing of Southern conditions. We call upon the ci North Carolina delegation in Washington,| to rally to the cause of "North Carolina |p industry, and leave the right of Southern Ifl people to remedy their labor problems in * their own way with the people of our state. j Our Legislature, it seems to us, is per- r* fectly competent for this task, and we s think that such labor problems should be h considered from the standpoint of the ^ state rather than from the national scope, a O Some of the best culinary artists seem jto be pretty good at cooking up stories s; also. * D a Helum gas is used to boost airships, r Conversational gas is used to boost poli- ^ ; tical campaigns. a HE STATE PORT PILOT Just Among The Fishermen (BY \V.
