October 27, 1907 We always feel sorry for a radio an nouncer who gives a colorful descriptioi of the next song: on his program whei the vocalist strides forward and sing something else. The stay-at-home football fan has it al over his game-going neighbor in the fev minutes immediately following the end o the game. I We already know most of the things i psychologist tells us, but he shows thi importance of putting them into practice The nearer the opening day of hunt ing season approaches the more valuabl a bird dog becomes. Some of the pre season values are deflated on the firs The anniversary day dinner at Cam] Sapona was another triumph for the boy who are on the mess staff. Those fellow should make some girl a good husband. Compared to Pandora, Delilah?bet traver of Sampson?was a lady. The for mer is the one that opened the box to le I out flies and mosquitos. I (iives Warning From Mayor Ericksen comes a warr i1; ing that fire hazards have been greatl I increased with the return of cool weathei The mayor advises all home owners t .investigate the condition of the their chim neys and flues before firing up for th first time this fall. There are many homes in Southporl ?4 he points out, that were built before ne> I fire regulations were adopted. Resident H of these places should be doubly carefu There is a common practice in South port of replacing burned out electric fuse with pennies. "Spend your pennies fc I candy or something," advises Mayor Er cksen. "Those fuses stand between yo and possible fire hazard from powe lyies." >; This is timely advice from Southport' rhayor, and there can be no joy for volur teer firemen in being called from thei beds one of these crisp, biting fall night I to fight a fire that was started throug negligence. On Approved List I gin North Carolina there are 67 hosp l^s that are on the approved list of th .ASnerican College of Surgeons; in th entire United States there are but 2,62 I institutions with this rating. JThe Brunswick County Hospital, a Southport, is on this list. SWe doubt if residents of this count I appreciate the true importance ot tnis re cognition. Possibly there will be a bette understanding if a list of ten criteria ol served in determining the rating of eac hospital in summarized: rork of Hospital Standardizatioi a* follows: 11. A modern physical plant, assurin tlfce patient's comfort and proper care. :2. Clear definition of organizatioi dfties, responsibilities and relations in th hospital's constitution, by-laws, rules an rdwulations. 2. A carefully selected governin lilard with complete supervisory author A competent, trained, superintei dent responsible to the board for carr; ing out its policies. 5. Adequate and efficient personne pip per ly organized and competently si pefrvised. 6. Organized medical staff of ethica competent physicians. I. Adequate diagnostic and therapei ticf facilities under competent medic, supervision. 8. Accurate and complete medical r cofds, readily accessible, for research an fouow-up. Regular group conferences of th administrative staff and of the medici staff for reviewing activities and resul so ?hs to maintain a high plane of sciei M 7 ' tific efficiency. 10. A humanitarian spirit?the pri ' marv consideration is the best care of the I . patient. ( t Definite Stand ? __________ j President Roosevelt's recent speech on "(world affairs, in which he disapproxed ? ?j dictatorships and proposed a virtual ' quarantine of waring powers, is perhaps 5 (the most important international event of "imanv months. It was greeted with aljnjost unanimous praise in this country., lit charted a definite course which this j government is apparently prepared to J follow. It was direct, aggressive and, for the head of a government, extremely daring. In the view of the experts, it is believed certain that the British and possibly the French foreign offices were consulted before the speech was made, and that the plan of action laid down by the, President is approved by the three great j s democracies of the world. Mr, Roosevelt's suggestion is as simple as it is revolutionary. In effect, he saidj ' that it might be necessary to place a to-j wering commercial wall around the na-j f tions which are responsible for today's war scares and war prospects. Peaceful nations would refuse to export to these * countries, and they would not import from e them. Little by little, as supplies on hand i. dwindled, the belligerent powers would find themselves lacking in the raw and -I finished materials which are essential to^h e' life both in peace and in war. Thus, faced e! - with want and privation, they would findL t it impossible to pursue their dreams of a conquest. The President did not mention any t P country by name. But it was obvious that i iz s he was referring to three powers: Japan, Is s Italy and Germany. Italy has taken over|Cj Ethiopia, in disregard of all treaties, by|? force. Japan is attempting to achieve a|i' similar victory in rich North China. And ^ - Germany, with Hitler as its spokesman, jw t makes no secret of the fact that it regar-|p ds colonial expansion as essential. I0I The world effect of such a declaration jh of potential policy would have been no-jj" where near as great hart it come irom me t] i- head of any other country. We are re- n y mote from all other major powers. We are peacefully inclined. We are one of h o the two nations which are economically ir i- self contained?that is, which possess e within their territorial borders the resources needed to provide every necessity and t, most of the luxuries of modern life. And, v for the past few years, we have been the s great question mark in international af1.1 fairs?we have moved slowly, said little i- and have kept aloof from participation in is world events. ir The strength of an alliance between i- the democracies and Russia is impossible u to exaggerate. From either the economic r or military standpoint, they are immensely superior to the dictatorships. Japan, s Italy and Germany must import tremeni dous quantities of the basic commodities r in order to exist. They must export their s own specialities, such as silk and olive oil h and wine, in order to obtain foreign credits. Close the world's margets to them, and at the same time forbid them to buy in the democracies, and they would be ruined. And, should they elect to fight, i- every fecognized military expert is cere tain that they would be doomed to quick e and crushing defeat. The U. S. and Eng1 land have the greatest navies afloat. Russia has the largest and best equipped it standing army in the world. The dictatorships have nothing to match these instru: ^ ments of force. i. - (r At existing meat prices, if Mary had a >- little lamb today, she'd be well-nigh a " h millionaire. p fi i, The divorce courts are full of people ? who remember Patrick Henry's speech w g about liberty, perhaps. P b; i, Human nature doesn't change much *v ie through the ages. Didn't Eve fall for the ^ d "Big Apple" too? g . ti g And if prisons get much nicer, how i- long before the inmates will be snubbing g the folks back home. 11 CI Y- The Japs are wasting their time fight- w ing on Saturdays.

They're recording big city noises now, e- and they'll perhaps all be in the No. 1 id jazz tune for 1938. ie Some of our favorite comedians should al remember the saying "Laugh and the ts world laughs with you," doesn't apply to i- comedians. "HE STATE PORT PILOT, S Just Among j The Fishermen . (BY W. B. KEZIAH) ? == \l Retrospective i j; Looking back ward over the It! 1937 sport fishnig, one sees jfo continuous unfavorable wea- fc ther since the 4th of July. It jo has been the worst weather ly for this kind of fishing that a Southport has had in many t years. There would come 2 u or 3 days of fine weather I t then, just when a deluge of ' c up state sportsmen started j c down, here the winds would j0 get contrary and call off n their sport. Despite the had I weather, the season was bet- , o ter than that of four or five ; t previous years put together. Some wonderful catches were | made, hundreds of up-state c people learned of our fine a fishing for the first time. j. Coming back to Southport another year, as they assuredly will do, they will bring < friends in countless numbers | ^ and it can now be said that > ^ Southport is well on the road a to become the most renown- 0 ed sport fishing point on the North Carolina coast. j Need New Hotel Although the development of !a le sport fishing is assured, the j ling that will give the great-1a st speed to development is the instruction of a moderate sized,! lodern hotel at Southport; with good sized auditorium or dinig room in which convention ad associations may meet, j here are any number of organ- a ations that would gladly make outhport the point for their1 sarly gathering if adequate fa-'11 lities were available. The writer : F in say this because he has fre- j jently been querred about the Ja bility of the town to accom- j lodate gatherings, some of which ] ? ould have made over 350 peo-j. le paying guests in the town j ' >r several days. The pointing jv nt of the great need for a | { otel is not done with any idea' ? f reflecting on the present faci-, ties. The thing at issue is that J te city sadly needs more, and j lore modern facilities. These icilities must be provided. For t lose who provide it there is a j uge volume of business wait- j * s c Need Corttacts Last week a party of men s came down from Salisbury jp to go oufside fishing. They p arrived at noon, without hav- ja ing contacted any one here ! j or engaged a boatman for ^ the next day. Sometimes c such a plan has worked out e all right. In this case it hap- t pened that when they arriv- r ed here all the boats that e cater to fishing parties had |c already been chartered. I'll- L able to get a boat, the party L left here at dark to drive |f 150 miles up the coast to f try their luck at another ij, point. Subsequently we learn- ; ed that the weather was too 7 rough for fishing at this up |j, state point and that the par- tp ty finally arrived back at 0 Salisbury, after a circuit of ? hundreds of miles and with- ,c out having caught a fish. p Had this party contacted the n Southport Civic Club by let- a ter, post card or wire a day a before it came here, a boat j would have been chartered and all other desired arrange- v ments would have been made v for it without any charge for !r the service. Unless they have ij; their own arrangement fish- n ing and other parties to Southport should contact the t. Civic Club for any little ser- a vice needed. p h Plenty Fishing Ahead j| Unless the weather develops r lto unexpected roughness and d n early winter makes its ap- 1 earance. there is still a lot of | n ne iisrung iu ue nau at oouui- n; ort during 1937. As a matter of I n ict, there is fine fishing all h inter when the weather will d ermit. After the trout season is ' y ver late in November the sea I p ass fishing will be at its best J e henever the weather will per- L" lit boats going out. And the up- (a :ate fishermen should not for-11 et that Southport has very lite winter. Late in February or arly in March finds game fish C iting again and some of the p reatest catches of the year may e made. Unless our memory p arves us wrong, the biggest b itch of trout made during 1937 e as in March. i More Boats In 1938 While the boats that catered to the 1937 fishing parties are very much to be congratulated for the efficient and painstaking care and attention they showed their customers, the fact can be pointed out that we will need s more boats to be available in s 1938. Just as soon as things a slack up a hit- every possible 1 effort should be put forward towards getting this years a craft in fine shape for next it year. And the folks who s have an established list of , c customers can depend on c plenty of additions next year. 1 It may be a wise move for s some of these party boatmen t OOTHPORT. N. C. WASHINGTON^ LETTER Washington, October 25? Facionalism which has been ramlant for many months is expect-1 d to reach new heights at the | pecial session of congress, which onvenes next month. It is these ironounced outcroppings of feeing that makes the program of he legislature uncertain. Prelimnary surveys and prophecies y the Administration and the pposition scouts are of little alue. Checking on sentiment mong lawmakers via long-disance is unsatisfactory and futle. The intimate chats with facion leaders in the privacy of loakrooms during the early days J if the session will afford the I nly true picture of the political roves which will find support. Ceeping warring cliques in line j n questions of general policy at he Capitol is comparable to findig a solution for bitterness whih has disrupted a household . . . nd the lot of the peacemaker il each case is far from happy. Bloc leaders are now crying 10 ind an olive branch which will lave the way for the early en- j ctment of the troublesome wage I nd hour bill. If this stalemate is vercome in the early days of the athering then the task shoulered by the Congressional capains will be greatly lightened. ls a gesture toward "an amicble adjustment of differences, a ill bearing the name of Repre- = entative Arthur P. Lamneclc. lemocrat. of Ohio, has been priately circulated in hopes of en- ^ sting votes. The substitute lacks he drastic provisions of the llack-Connery labor standards j ~ leasure, which passed the Sen-' h! te only to run into a snag in; ? he House Rules Committee. It i doubtful, however, that Admin- r stration forces would accept the ? roposal as the Lamneclc idea is c ased on fair trade practices I1 mong employers. It is patently Tv ontrary to some of the board mrposes of the original measure J ent up from the White House I ^ ist spring in an effort to raise tandards of living in areas 4 vhere workers are paid less than | orty cents an hour and work in ~t xcess or iorty nours a wren. j ^ The petition to discharge thej ij louse Rules Committe from con- J ideration of this controversial | neasure has less than 100 signa ures of the 218 necessary to14 iring the matter before the i, louse for a vote. Effective pres- $ ure against two members of the ' ommittee forcing a change of 4 ront would also achieve the J ame result. It is generally J ^ mown that the rank and file of; % he House would like to avoid! 4 . parliamentary situation where- j J n a record vote would be re- ? iuired. All factions seem agreed ^ in one point . . that a record- j ~ id vote on this major issue on' he eve of the election is neither | lecessary or desirable. The dop- "5 sters on Capitol Hill, who spe- ~ ialize in labor matters, are not J n accord as to the ultimate po- J ition of organized labor. The % eud between the Lewis and i i Jreen camps, which is now rag- J ng, will eventually have a bear- 1 ng on the conduct of the House. % f the Southern contingent can ~ ie brought into line on a com- t iromise amendment taking care ; f their objections then this Ad- r ministration measure has a i hance. Measures which contem- J 'late the extension of a govern- | lent strait-jacket over workers % nd employers are not as popul- 4 .r now as in the heyday of the .: I. R. A. 1 Government agencies have been ^ wondering if the panic conditions ,'hich threatened Wall Street will j i equire a marked alteration in i | heir plans for business control ? leasures. The lawmakers would ~ e the first to advocate a more ^ emperate tone from Federal 'i gencies, especially if it could be T; roven that legislative policies | astened a collapse of the secur- J lies market and expedited the 3 eturn of the depression. A con- "5 ition hinting at bad times for 4 938 has all solons in a jittery ? rood for more than a third of | he Senate and the entire House "5 lembersmp must go Deiore tne 3 ustings next year. Incumbents j 0 not fare well with the voters J rhen factories are shut down and rivation is just around the corn- i r. Whatever drastic curbs the i brains-trusters" have in mind ? re not likely to find favor at v he special or regular sessions, i ??????????~ , O Bowled: "I understand Senator ? Irecn wanted you to act as his i irivate secretary." i Simmons: "He did, but I sim- i ily couldn't accept the position, lecause I would have to sign ev- | ~ rything Green per Simmons. ~ : to put additional craft into * service for next year. If they ? do not someone else is cer- J tain to do that to supply the need that will undoubtedly i present itself. 4 Fast Fishing Boat A Florida sport fishing craft % pent Friday night here. For her | ize she was the most elaborate j ^ ind speedy craft of its kind that i las ever docked at Southport. % 5he came down the river at such 4 1 speed that she was practically J nvisible because of the foam that 1 urrounded her. Inquiry of the % rew revealed that she had a! 4 iruising speed of 38 miles perjj tour, and that is fast time fori? i fishing boat. She was all rig- i red out for big game.
