HARPER, JR., Edjjpr Entered aa second-claw matter April 20, 1928, at the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under j the act of March 3, 1879. ; Subscription Rate* ONE YEAR ?1.50, IX MONTHS 1.00 THREE MONTHS .76 I' "3' ^ Wednesday, November 17, 1937 (The person who does the most talking isn't always the one who knows the most. Woman either brings out the best there is in a man, or the worst. The trouble with credit is that it loses f lie fids for you about as fast as it loses cash. What passes for intrigue in higher circles is branded as plain pettiness in small towns. A man with a good bird dog and gun i is better off than a person with a season | pass to all the big football games. I We wonder which takes the most whiskey: To celebrate victory or to drown memory of defeat. ; People who take all the credit usually find that there's a pay day not far in the offing. In Medieval times, people were burned at the stake. Now they're roasted alive by inane spell-binders. People with very good manners under ordinary-circumstances lose all consideration for their fellows when they are driving an automobile. New (lamp Paper We congratulate the officers and men of Camp Sapona upon the publication of the first issue of SAPONA SANDSPUR, successor of THE SANDSPUR. M The newspaper is more pretentious than its colorful predecessor, for it is printed in tabloid size instead of being run off on the camp mimeograph mach-i ine. Much work was necessary to get out I this first issue. More hard work is in J store for Educational Director D. C. Hun-: ter and his men if they are to maintain i the same high standard. School Columns For the past three weeks we have included as a feature of The Pilot a column of news prepared by the teachers and students of Southport high school. To us this news is an indication that the; I local school is doing good work, and that I the faculty members and pupils are anxiI ous to keep their friends and patrons inH formed of their activities. The State Port Pilot always is willing H to do everything in its power to cooperate [ I witft the school authorities. We wish j I that every school principal in the county H1 would take advantage of our offer to run I a weekly column of school news. jg Built To Use r.. ? The only complaint we have with the I Community Center Building is that it isn't |H beipg used as much as it should be by the II various clubs and organizations of the B town and county. In other towns where community buildI ings have been ei-ected these places have I become the center of social activity. At I Clinton the members of one of the organI izations have purchased china and silverI ware, and it is seldom that a big dinner I or banquet is served anywhere other than I in the Community Center Building. The upstairs auditorium of the local I building is by far the most attractive building of its kind in Southport. MoreI over; there are facilities and arrangements I that .'make the place ideal for meetings Bof almost every kind. We should like Hlo sde the women of Southport learn to get the maximum service from this buildI ing iliat is such an obvious asset to the I community. f* ___________________ Qqpgerous Omission |.!^2 Families in Southport who have neglec ted to see to it that their servants have; I 1,11 complied with the state law to undergo1 a health examination are toying lightly! with the health and happiness of members of their family. As a result of a few examinations that ! have been made locally several"servants are now being treated for contagious venereal diseases. Once the trouble is discovered and treatment is begun, the | danger of contagion is arrested. On the j other hand, it is nothing short of criminal' negligence to have a servant in your kitchen, or in charge of your child, whose health record has not been carefully checked. Hunting Don'ts f t . / ? r ,} y . ??? Since the hunting season opened in Columbus county, there have been frequent mishaps as a result of accidental | firing of guns. The hospitals in the coun-l ty have treated numerous accident cases,! some of them serious, and many flesh wounds and narrow escapes have been reported. The harmful effects on the part of careless sportsmen have not been confined to bodily injuries. Left in the wake ofi some hunters are forest fires, after cig-! arettes or matches had been flipped lightly into easily ignited leaves or brush. Farmers' cattle have strayed as a result1 of cut fences or left-open-gates and in; many other ways have the negligent hun-j lers wrought destruction. Relevant are these hunting "don'ts" which J. D. Chalk, State Game Commissioner, has compiled: 1. Don't carry your gun when climbing fences. 2. Don't keep your gun loaded except when you expect to make a shot. 3. Don't handle a gun by the muzzle. 4. Don't carry your gun so that an accidental discharge would hit you or your companion. 5. Don't shoot | unless you know positively what you are shooting at. 6. Don't leave gates open, j cut fences or destroy property. 7. Don't throw cigarettes out of cars. 8. Don't shoot without a license. Eliminate Fire Hazards The National Board of Fire Underwriters has just released a bulletin entitled,1 "What to look for in Dwelling House Inspections." While the bulletin is specially designated for firemen, the advice it gives can easily be followed to advantage by home owners. Items to be checked from outside the house include: 1. Condition of roof. Old or warped roofing collects sparks. 2. Condition of chimneys. Loose bricks, open joints, cracks, improper supports, etc., present obvious dangers. 3. Condition of the yard. Dry grass, leaves, papers and other combustible accumulations constitute a serious fire hazard to adjacent places. 4. Condition of garages and sheds. Cleanliness and good maintenance are essential precautions. 5. The storage of hazardous materials such as oil and kerosene. Inside the house a thorough fire inspection must include the checking of accumulated waste and discarded materials; store of fuel; the condition of furnaces, stoves and other heating applianone rvAcoiUln o iv? incnrlt} pliimnoTc V.VO , pvooi KJ1 UV1VVU1 lit 1UOIUV/ VIIIIUUVJ u, fire stops, etc. The citizen who is uncertain as to hazards and their elimination can get the' necessary information from the National Board of Fire Underwriters, 85 Johnson Street, New York. Periodic inspection by owners would unquestionably prevent the great majority of the dwelling fires which destroy millions of dollars in property, values and take hundreds of lives annually. Wanted!?New Parents A much-needed truth has been expres-! sed by Dr. Luther A. Weigle in his book,| "Training of Children in the Christian , Family," published by the Pilgrim Press, of Boston. Dr. Weigle quotes, approvingly but anonymously, the following paragraph from a modern educator: "1 do not hesitate to say that in my opinion the children of today do not need vocational guides so much as they need a new set of parents; parents who have spunk enough to climb back upon the thrones in their own households which they have abdicated in favor of their children; parents who have energy enough to get their children out of bed in the morning early enough for them to wash their faces, comb their hair, and lace their shoes without the schools being obliged toj give promotion credit for their doing so;j parents who, when the shades of night begin to fall, look after their boys with the same degree of care that they give to their bull pup, which they chain up' lest he associate with the strange cur on the street. We have autocracy enough in education; what we need most is authority in the home."?"Christian Observer.", THE STATE PORT PILOT, Just Among The Fishermen (BY XV. B. KF.ZIAH) Brought in Proof Although this department deolineil to go with them on a fishing foray to Howell's Point, Thursday, he can state postivel.v that Postmaster Yaskell, aided liy R. M. Wolfe and Skipper Myers, caught 62 beautiful puppy drum. We are able to be so sure about it because they brought them around for us to see when they reached town at about 3:00 o'clock. They certainly brought in the fish, and we know danged well that there is nobody in Bmnswiek who thinks enough of them to have presented them with said fish. Furthermore, they are all too Stingy, or u'ere all too broke, to have bought them off of anybody. So, we have explicit . faith in their claim that'they caught those puppy drum. Another Strange Catch ' Skipper Red Fulwood, who pilots one of the S. I. Burris boats, came in Thursday with a conch that was different from all other conchs we have seen. The edges, instead of being sharp, were almost a quarter of an inch thick and the whole shell 'was a jet black. There were few of the wrinkles that are usually found on conch shells. At the same time Skipper Red brought in a 62 pound sturgeon. Sold On Fishing Rodeo This department is sold on the big game fishing rodeo that is being planned for Southport next spring. It will be the biggest and most valuable advertising stunt ever pulled off here and will result in many Hundreds of sportsmen becoming interested in the Southport fishing. We have fine boats and boat men for the trout, blue fish and mackerel, and the presence of these fish here is already well known. The presence of the big game fish a short distance off our coast is not so well known, and the rodeo and the experienced gtiides and suitable boats for that sort of fishing will draw widespread attention and interest. The entry fees from the hoats and the small additional entry fee of $1.00 from the sportsmen will provide ample funds with which to pay for valuable sweepstake prizes. Racking this up, the sporting goods manufacturers and dealers can be depended on to put up dozens of additional prizes in the way of rods, reels, tackle boxes, lines, spoons, plugs, etc. Salty Fishermen "Salty" is a term usually applied to mariners who do not give a whoop how rough the weather is. It seemingly originated around Gape Cod where there is both romance and fiction attached to the fishing industry. To see the Southport shrimp trawlers come in last Thursday would have given any one a pretty clear idea of the salty term. The boys went out in the early morning with every indication of fairly good weather for the day. By ten o'clock a heavy northeast gale was raging and both the river and ocean were thundering and beating at everything in its way. One by one, the little boats came wallowing back in. breakers crashing against their sides, now rolling almost on their sidfes, now standing almost on their ends as they were lifted by a giant swell. They all came thr ough. Xced That Basin Rough weather. Big boats that eould go a little distance out in the harbor and anchor stood it easily. At the docks, the little ones rolled, tossed, tumbled, banged against each other. There was no place for them to go. They were too crowded to be safe, and practically all of them suffered minor damages from their contacts with pilings and the ceaseless grinding of other1 boats. The city of Southport Is financially Unable to sponsor the cost of dredging out a yacht basin and storm haven for the small boats in a protected spot. To our mind, the War Department, which has spent millions and millions of dollars for the protection of craft in various harbors, can well afford to put out the few thousand that are sorely needed in behalf of both commercial and pleasure boats at Southport. To our mind, Congressman J. Bayard Clark and Senator Reynolds should both make a resolute stand for the necessary appropriation just as soon as they can get together during the present session of congress. Mrs. J. C. Chadwick, of Leland, in charge of W. P. A. in Brunswick county, is busy lately with a crew of ladies cleaning the schools (inside), thru-out the county. A SQ-JTHPORT, N C. ij ?; Southport School News i ARMISTICE DAY PROGRAM * Ori' TMn'sclay,'* No\kemb&r the eleventh, an enjoyable Armistice ! Day Program was held in the | Southport high school auditorium, j The program was under the supervision of Mrs. Josephine Mert shall. , At the beginning: of the program, all stood and sang "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean." This j .was followed by the reading of scriptures, and prayer by the Reverend A. H. Marshall. The topic of the speech which was given by the speaker of the day, Reverend Marshall, was "Patriotism." Next on the program was j the singing of the song "America the Beautiful", by the glee club sextet. The song was sung I in alto and soprano arrangement, i A peom, "Heroes We Never i Name", was read by Katie Cox. Several annouhcements were made by the principal, W. R. | Lingle, and chapel was dismissed. ? BASKETBALL GIRLS I The girls baslcetball team under the supervision of Miss Pelf' ly and Mr. Wonsavage is pro| gressing slowjy, but s'tudents i hope to have a winning team : (before the season is over. Much j more interest is shown among | the lower classmen this year, j and there is some very promisj ing material among them. There are two new additions this year, ] Margaret Watts, from Whiteville, and Annie Laura Willis, from Morehead. The first game with j a county team is with Bolivia i on December 3. on the local ! court. I CHAPEL PROGRAM On Friday the fifth grade presented, under the direction of | Mrs. H. W. Hood, a radio play (entitled "The Birth of the Star' j upaiigicu uniuici. The play portrayed in a most I interesting manner the events j j and circumstances connected with the writing of the song, "The [ I Star Spangled Banner". ' It was ; j very educational and entertain- j j ing. Appropriate patriotic music I I was sung off stage between acts., i This was the concluding program ' of a series of chapel exercises l commemorating National Education Week. FIRST AID KIT Through Miss " Annie May; Woodside and some other of its friends the school has been given a first aid kit. Other common J medicines have been added to it! by Principal W. L. Lingle. It has proved very handy1 for little accidents and any sudden illness in the school. ! CALL OF BOOKS j The price for rented books this 1 I year is not so great as it was last session. Still pupils should1 i bear in mind that the books are : no less valuable. They should jbe carefully kept and studied. j Do not dog-ear them, mark them i or fling them about as if they | were a piece of stovewood. CONDUCT The pupil who is careless and inatentative in his or her studies is not only doing himself or her self harm. While they may not know it, they are interferring greatly with their fellow pupils. In doing the best work in ' school students should choose the right kind of playmates. If they play with people that don't have | their minds on school work, thev | are sure to get' the same way. j Pupils should play with people who try to do the best work in school. If they do that they are ! j sure to get along with their tea! cher and have more friends also.
