Wednesday, November 3, 1937 f I Ma folks need help fore than they do t Oritiem. e s Wod prices are boosting the oil heat- c er business. f \Y>n't be long- now before Brunswick I couty basketball teams swing into action ( I in jre-season games. "lie colder the night the better is the ^ combination of a good radio and an open ... o irre. s Some people can make hay with the;s grass that grows under other people's Jj feet, we've noted. j: This is the time of year when the leav-lt es are blushing to think how green t i thev've been all summer. ' I Tlie first freeze of fall will do more i' than all the flv-swatting of the summer|? 1 8 to clean up the flies and mosquitos. c After hearing a partisan elaborate on I one-half the facts it is sometimes hard to, believe there really are two sides even to | political questions. ^ Home life must be made attractive if! young people are to stay there in pre-j? ference to going somewhere else for amusement. 1; Doctor bills, hospital bills and church j pledges are three pretty good things to; think of at this season when money is a' bit more plentiful than at other times of; ^ the year. ' , id For Sportsmen j Southport and Brunswick county havej , been called a "sportsman's paradise" so ' often by us that the phrase grows trite; j s yet it is the only adequate description of ^ the unrivaled hunting and fishing possi-'a liilities in this section. If it is the tug of a game fish?fresh or j c salt water?that gives you your greatest j c sporting thrill, there is no other spot in,e North Carolina where as many, nor as 1 fine variety, may be taken. The possibi- 1 lities range from still fishing in the creeks r for perch to casting in the surf for drum, s - - 4 If it is the music of a pack of hounds L drjving a buck before them that sets your nerves tingling, then stop off here with \ your dogs and guns; for nowhere else? optside the protected National forest area in Western North Carolina?will a greater * . abundance of deer be found. Add fox a hunting, bird hunting, duck hunting and * you get an idea why each year finds more c and more hunters here. c Thousands of sport loving fans pile into t automobiles each Saturday and sit shiver- c ing in the concrete stands of our mighty stadia to watch two highly publicized e football teams fight it out on the grid- ] irdn. Single out the real sports in the s Chowd, though, and sixty per cent of them i would trade you their seat at the game e fOif a good stand on a deer hunt. c t Begin At Home s ? No person in Brunswick county is more < interested in the safety of school children s than we are, but it sometimes occurs to t us that the kids themselves do not give i the motorist a sporting chance. 1 This complaint is prompted by actions { noticed among children waiting beside the road for the school bus each morning, i Pedestrian's rights of a few feet of preci- < dus pavement often are insisted upon by 1 tji'e boys and girls, who would be just as < comfortable?and infinitely safer-further ; from the path of passing vehicles. \ Other kids think it great sport to tan- ' talize the oncoming drivers with threats to dash across the road immediately in frbnt of the car. Foolish vanity and boy- | hood bravado are responsible for some of th'te most dangerous risks. k " There is a good way to put a stop to . these foolhardy practices, for most of 1 them occur in front of the homes. Watch- ( fill parents can do a lot toward curbing s his roadside danger by keeping the chiliren in the house until almost time foi he bus. It is well enough to check up on this ituation and see if there isn't some child, >r group of children, whom you can inluence for safety before it is too late. lood News Word that contracts soon are to be lei or hard surfacing seven more miles ol he Whiteville-Shallotte highway will be welcomed throughout the lower end ol he county. Already since the beginning of the pork on this end of the road, there has >een a noticeable improvement in the prorressiveness of the persons who will beneit most from the highway. There is no reason now to doubt thai his project will be pushed through to an arly completion. Officials in both Brunwick and Columbus counties have been oncentrating on this project, and they lave the cooperation now of Highway Commissioner A. E. Powell. lood Idea We don't know whether it was the city athers or whether the move resulted from ctivity of school officials; but the idea if roping off the block in front of the chool house for a playground during chool each day is a good one. The only drawback to the Southport igh school building is that there are no -rounds about it upon which children may day in safety. This wide street undei Urt tAi.nn.Jnrr nol'C l'fi nil fHl!?WPV tfl uc: ivncuug i??^ v?%?u hat need. Only one residence, that of the Rev. !. M. Hall, is affected by the safety zonng, and we are sure that he and members f his family are more than glad to suffer bit of inconvenience in the interest ol hild safety. arofit From Walnuts To our attention recently has come the act that desirable profit may be had rom the proper cultivation and handling f black walnuts. Large buyers of nuts inform us that he best way to care for Black Walnuts 5 as follows: Gather the walnuts as soon as they all. When the hull begins to turn dark, ake off the soft hull, allow the nuts to Iry in the sun for not less than ten days, tfter this the nuts should be stored in a Iry place where air can circulate through hem. A corn sheller is very good foi ;etting off the soft hull. Never let the hull dry hard on walnuts, i crib or barn loft is a good place to tore. Properly cared for, walnuts will ;eep indefinitely. Keep nuts away from ny kind of oils, grease, or kerosene. Walnuts can be sold in the shell 01 racked and sold as kernels, but the racked kernels give the farmer the greatst return. Why not get a cracking machne and start either an individual or comnunity cracking plant ? There are a lumber of local markets, or farmers may tore their surplus walnuts for the early rade next fall. f he Price Of Speed As everyone knows, speed is the great lighway killer. The mortorist who drives it an excessive rate endangers not only lis own life, but those of everyone else in the public streets and roads. He can iffer but one "excuse" for his conduct? hat super-fast driving gets him to his lestination sooner. The truth is, the minutes we save by xcessive speed are pitifully few in the ight of the risk involved. A short time igo a test was made in Chicago. A radio mnouncer was told to drive his car on an iight-mile trip through heavy traffic, ibserving not only every traffic regulaion, but every rule of courtesy. At the lame time, a police officer followed the lame route under instructions to take >very risk and reach the destination in the ihortest possible time. Twenty-three milutes later the reckless driver pulled in it the stopping point. The safe, supposedy slow driver, who had taken no risks at ill, got there exactly two minutes later. We have all met the motorist whc nakes a trip in a length of time that required him to risk a hundred lives, and ;hen spends twice the amount he saved >ver a normal, safe passage, boasting ibout it. None of us is so busy, none oi as has so great a need of saving a few ninutes or a few hours, that we can afford the "price of speed." "Save ten minutes?take a life." That should be the motto of the driver whc 'opens her up" on every possible occasion speed and speed alone is the dominating 'actor in the great bulk of the nation's serous traffic accidents. Look at it from youi >wn point of view and from a purely ielfish standpoint?is it worth it? THE STATE PORT PILQ1 i ;( : Tust Among The Fishermen (BY W. B. KEZIAH) LUCK IN OVER ALLS - It is no unusual thing to st ' Congressman J. Bayard Clark a , Southport, but it is a little ur \ usual to see a Congressman ai rayed in blue jean overalls?an faded overalls at that. Thursday when he was supposed to b 'somewhere else in company wit > a bunch of high jinks, Congress . man Clark appeared here, arm ed with a cane fishing pole an both his appearance and mar ner indicated that he intended t ; do some real drum fishing. I ! contrast to the Congressmai Captain I. B. Bussell, and Posl master Wilbur Dosher. of Wil mington, were rather jauntil garbed. All three proposed to g drum fishing from rowboats ove near Bald Head island, and I was decided that Captain H. 1 Bowmer should pilot the Cor gressman and his cane fishin pole while Captain Bussell an Postmaster Dosher rowed thei own and manipulated rods an reels. Well, they returned i about three hours and the check up revealed that the Congress man had 28 big puppy drum an . one sheep head. On the othe hand the Postmaster and th Captain only had three fish. FINE ROE Ml'LLETTS Fish roe is worth 80 cent per pound and there is always a big demand for it. i Among his catch Thursday morning Cooker, one of the boys who supplies the local demand for fish, found seven dozen large roe mullets. The roe from anv two of them made over a pound and in one instance one pound and six ounces of roe was taken from a single fish. The roe alone was worth about $15. BIO CATCH OF BLUER Six blue fish boats, work in; for the Ben Gray fish hous< ,! brought in 18,000 pounds of blu 1 fish in a single day last weel They made a huge pile on th ; floor of the packing house whil i waiting to be boxed and ice 1 for shipment north. INTERESTING CATCH One of the blue fish boats from up-state brought in an interesting catch one afternoon last week in the shape { of six thousand pounds of red, black and puppy drum, with a few trout. The trout were unusually large ones, averaging at least three and a half |>ounds. The puppy drum would all run to an average of about three pounds each, as would the black drum. In the case of 11 the red the individual [roundage took a tremendous jump, the average being somewhere between 15 and 30 [rounds to the fish. About SO specimems weighed well over 40 pounds each. The whole catch was i interesting and intriguing, but comparatively worthless. Drum commands a very low price. It is understood that this catch brought a cent and a half per pound. The fish were taken with a . j drag net, some distance out at sea. STILL PLENTY PARTIES Every favorable day, and som not so favorable, brings in fish ing parties from some point u; state. Good catches are alway ' i made on the days when th ' weather wil permit fishing, am ' there seems to be indication I that the parties will continue un til early winter. It is believe* that trout will continue bitini for some time longer and afte ( that the bass fishing gets a 1 its best and continues througl the winter. BITE ON WEEK DAYS Fish bite just as well on week days as they do on I Sunday, despite the fact that II most of the parties from up state appear to think differently and act accordingly. It has been the rule for parties to pour In on Sundays. Often they could not get the boats they wanted because some', one was ahead of them. If they did get their boat they often found that the favorite places for trout fishing were l swarming with other boats. Often, since the inclination seems to be to always have an u|>roarious week-end, they brought a little too much l liquor with them and members of the party would indulge a little too much with I the result that real sport | was spoiled. While he had no , intention to criticize his cus.! tomers, a Southport boatman J remarked a day or so ago that he hoped the public would find out that the fish bite just as well on week days as they do on Sundays. In addition, the chances are ' | a hundred per cent better If the parties will spread them,! selves out over week days, instead of all coming for Sat"j urday and Sunday.
