J - _ 1 A bore is one who talks at length about something that makes no difference when < you should be doing something that does. < - ' ? ? 1 I Only half credit for lying should be charged against a man when he's talking about a fiahing trip, a bird dog or when he is selling a cow. As for those who are ever-anxious to ' have us "burn up" somebody in an editorial may we again refer them to the Open Forum column, where they can do their own "burning"?over their signature. Showers . A news note from Waccamaw tells us that showers for basketball players have been installed at the Waccamaw high school gymnasium. The installation of showers also is a part of the project now 1 being carried on here to improve the Southport gymnasium. In our opinion there could be no more progressive step taken by authorities of the two schools in the interest of the health of the youthful athletes of Brunswick county. Watch Your Fires This Is the season foi preparing tobacco beds, and progressive farmera in this ova ali'saHv h:i<4ilv encaged ini VUUIIVJ ?V ??n ? making ready for their season's supply of plants. One of the important steps in the proper preparation of the tobacco plant bed is burning it off, a process usually accomplished by piling brush and limbs high on the area where the bed is to be located, and then burning. Practically all plant beds are located in a peice of new ground, as farmers seek soil that is free from any kind of plant disease. Frecjuently fire gets away from the burning brush on the bed and ignites the vegetation and undergrowth nearby. Serious woods fires result, The proper care and protection of timber has come to mean too much to farmers of this county for them to take any unnecessary chances with fires. Every possible care should be exercised when zuring off this year's tobacco plant bed to see that the next ten year's timber burning off this year's tobacco plant bed crop is not ruined in the process. Good Milk Supply Recently a photostatic copy of the Fedoral milk rating for the City of Southport was mailed to the county doctor. The report is self-explanatory, but it indicates that the milk inspector should get busy and clean up sources of milk that is being produced outside the regulations pres| cribed by the State Board of Health. Following is the letter from Warren H. Booker, Collaborating Sanitary Engineer: "The retail-raw milk rating for Southport was 96 percent, which is excellent indeed, and which places Southport on the list of honor roll towns, as regards milk sanitation. Congratulations on this achievement. "Incidentally, it is noted that the enforcement methods receive a rating of only 80 percent. It is hoped that this may be Improved, and that at least the same high grade protection be continued in connection with the rftgil-raw milk supply." i K T Wrong Way No basketball gamp is good enough to justify marking all over the sidewalk , ivith chalk in an undignified effort to invite the public to witness the contest. We recognize the necessity of getting news of the games before the basketball _ fans. Crowds are desirable, both for their moral influence and their pecuniary aid. ?o jt is the method, not the purpose, that we criticize. No one, we believe, will deny that The Pilot has a friendly attitude toward iports in general, and basketball in particular. Nothing would give us greater pleasure than to be allowed to have a whedute of games each week. Times Change An ironic circumstance which commanded the attention of the readingpublic one day last week came by way of the Raleigh News and Observer, which in one section of the paper, carried an item which showed that back in 1882 a negro was sentenced to 10 to 12 years for stealing two bushels of wheat from a White farmer. On another page of the same paper, there was an article of a negro beingpardoned at the end of six years for killing a member of his own race in! North Carolina. Times have in reality changed. Little comment seems necessary on this score, for which a circumstance speaks eloquently enough for itself. The Tax Flood Time was when a young man starting out in life could turn to business with optimistic eyes as means for a iiveiinooa. He could establish his little business, apply himself diligently and in a few years become a successful entrepeneur and leading citizen of his community, x'his was the rule rather than the ex;eption and thousands of prominent business men can tell you that they launched their career with virtually a shoe lace. S{ How changed the picture today. If a tii voung man seeks to set up a little trade ^ today he is confronted with a host of p. state and federal taxes which must be pi meted out before he can sell the first ^ nickels worth of merchandise. Many of in these taxes are extraordinarily high and a< ruthless and a merchant must do a good bl business in order to make a profit after ^ the taxes are paid. ef Even the old established merchants are 81 having the struggle of their lives trying ^ to exist under the increasing load of w taxes. If you don't believe it, ask them? in They are not just "griping"; they are !" patriotic and loyal to their state and a, country but when their government tries be to tax them out of business the old in- A stinct of self-survival comes to the front. P< Let's scan a few figures. The New! York Sun tells us that the average man's taxes has jumped from Si.27 in 1925 to SI.51 in 1937. About 1933 his taxes, state and federal, jumped from S8.80 to $70.00 per year. Five taxes ere collected on shoes before they are ever sold to the consumer and this is fairly typical of other merchandise. It Is estimated that a man spends onefourth of his income in taxes?direct and indirect. The food we eat, the clothes we wear, the bed we sleep in, the amusements we see?all bear taxes. When taxes threaten the very foundation of business and industry, merchants think not of political faith but of selfsurvival. What's everybody's business may be nobody's business, but it makes mighty choice gossip sometimes. We learn whiskey is a poor cure for snake-bite. Which means that there's been a lot of hooch wasted. With income tax worries in the offing, there's the added aggravation of trying to pronounce those Chinese words in the papers. B] The fellow who shoots straight from the shoulder might be an excellent gunman or an ardent lover. Politicians should make good horsemen. They've certainly had enough experience straddling the fence. The average hunter is a man who walks all day looking for birds he couldn't kill if he found them. Time is about the easiest thing wasted in the world unless it's the public's money, It seems now like the anti-lynching bill wjll be doomed to die by gas. HE STATE PORT FOOT. fust Among Ihe Fishermen <BV W. B. KCZ1AH) NEW o5nANIMATION The Sport Fisherman's Bureau, an auxiliary of the Southport Civic Club, has i been created within the past t week. Tlie members are boatmen who wjll be engaged in carrying fishing parties here in the spring, summer and fall. The objective is to give the sportsmen service anil to publicize and advertise the wonderful Gulf Stream fishing off Southport, as well as the trout, mackerel and blue out on the Cape Fear shoals. The Bureau will be in charge of the Civic Club secretary, he will meet all parties before they go out and register all news and the boat on which they make their trip. Meeting them again on their return to port, he will get a report of their catch and write a local news story to their home papers and will also .make and send photographs along Wun the story. Reports of all txceptioHally good catches and photographs of the same will also be sent the aJtate press and the publicity department of the Department of Conservation, at Raleigh. In addition to the various sources of publicity the bureau manager will keep all known sportsmen acquainted with the fishing conditions by direct mail and will endeavor to overcome a serious handicap that existed last year by trying to get parties to make their trip all through the week, instead of just on Saturdays ajul Sundays. It may not be generally known, the best catches last year were about all made on week days. WILL ASK COOPERATION The Sports Fisherman's Buriu will &sk the cooperation of art Caswell and all places in' mthport that will be in a posi>n to furnish accommodations j visiting fishermen. These j aces will be asked to recommid to their guests that they use Isherman's Bureau boats for eir trips, this because of the ct that the Bureau will be dog everthlng in its power to i lvertise the South port fishing, I ing parties here and render em service. We cannot bring irties here without organized I fbrt, at least, not in numbers, ifficient to give all boats em-| oyment. It stands to rea-1 in that business, generally, I ill profit by the bringing of large numbers of fishing irties and a thorough advertis-: g of Southport as a great sport ?hing center. Cooperation will both deserved and expected, nd what is given will be relid in kind. NEW BOATS HERE Last summer there was less than half a dozen boats available for carrying out parties. It often happened on Sunday that fifteen or more parties came in, only to find all boats already engaged. This naturally had a bad effect. To start this season, seven boats are already here from up-state to add to the local boats that handled the business last voqv ah spvAn of these ud state are going iji for the organization and wijl pay their share towards the advertising fund that is expected to bring in several times the number of parties that were here last year. Four of the up-State boats that are now here plan to go in for the new Gulf Stream fishing. All of them are almost new craft and in every way suitable for seathem are 50 footers, the Empress and the Cosair pf Captain Day, of Morehead City. Another seagoing big game fisherman from Manteo has been here since September and will remain all summer for the sport fishing, taking up shrimping in the fall. The Fannie Quidley, handsome turtle back boat, is lortly to be fixed up at Morehead City for the sport fishing and brought here. Roy Brown, of Beaufort, will also bring down his blue fish boat, equipped for sport until the netting season. There will probably be many others from various points. It is safe to say that with the advent of the sport fishing season there will be a strong fleet here to render service. The boatmen will, of course, do all in their individual power to encourage the coming of fishing parties. With the individual efforts and the wofk of the Bureau 15 to 25 boats Should be as eonsUntly employad as ware the less than half a dozen of last yaarThe town itself will, naturally, benefit greatly by the presence of the hundreds of MttTHMRT. ?

POIJCV Hie Bureau, working for its members, will make no distinction between lpcal boats and those that arc here from other points to serve the sporting public. If a boat pays its share of the advertising It will receive every consideration, regardless of who owns and operates it and providing it keeps the rules to render sendee- If a party asks for a particular boat, it will naturally have to be assigned them if it is available, otherwise, it will always be a matter of the ntsn whoae turn it is, or the available boat most suited for the need of the moment.
