C., under ;|l " opks cn child-raising but there were Snore woodsheds, U The world would be a much better place if we spent as much time looking for good qualities as we do finding fault with our neighbor. ir, Recently we heard of the lohgest newsSpaper subscription in the history of the world. It is good for 1,000 years, and is transferable by will. B Some people spend so much time talkBog about themselves that they never Sliaye an opportunity to find out what Bothers may think about them. mGolden Rule H If Brunswick county is to escape the ravages of forest fire during the.spring! months, then residents of this county must apply the golden rule to their program of Bffre control. In the first place, it will be physically! impossible for the forest warden to know Immediately of every blaze that flares up. This being true, it is to the interest of property owners to extinguish small fires whenever and wherever possible. | No matter if the fire is not burning near your property, your neighbor will appreciate your thoughifulness and labor if you will put out an early fire on his property. g If it appears that a fire is about to get out of control, the sensible thing to do is to notify the forest warden. Negro CCC Camp Representatives from district headquarters for the Civilian Conservation Corps were in Southport Monday to attend a joint meeting of the board of county commissioners and the Southport board of aldermen! The question for discussion was the establishment of a side camp of fifty Negro enrollees at Southport. The offer was made before the meeting, and Major Ifetts, spokesman for the CCC command, said that the wishes of the citizens would he followed. Members of the board of aldermen opposed the establishment of the side camp here. Open doubt was expressed that strange Negroes of nondescript background would be accepted by South port's colored citizens, who were described as being of a superior type. Eyen in the face of losing every possibility of the re-establishment of a CCC unit here, Southport citizens stood firm in their resolve. I Members of the board of county commissioners, on the other hand, favored the Bide camp. A group of CCC" enrollees, be they white or black, is greatly to be des1 tsw r ired during the coming months whei threat of forest fire is at its height. We offer a suggestion to which neithei can object: Let's accept the side campeven try for a full fledged encampment? but let's establish the camp site out ii the county at some point that will b< centrally located with regard to worl .projects. This will afford the county ils dc-sirec protection, and at the same time will no impose upon the citizens of Southport : condition which they feel is undesirable Personal Expressions We always welcome expressions fron our readers, regardless of whether the; are friendly words of encouragement o criticism. We pass along a few. Caiy Pigford, of Ash, says that he en joys The Pilot. He is blind, but has i i,ead to him every week . . . Mrs. Roi Robinson subscribed to this newspape this week before leaving for her riev home in Boston. She says that she is go ing to depend upon The State Port Pilo to keep her informed of what goes on ii her old home town for the next year . . Hulan Watts says that every time a dec ent catch of slirimp is made we run i story in the paper that results in a sud den deluge of new shrimpers . . . Mrs S. W. Watts likes , the increase that ha: been made recently in Southport socia items. The newspaper is about the onlj way shut-ins have of keeping up wit! their neighbors, she says . . . Tom Mes haw writes from Georgetown, S. C., tha he missed a couple of copies of The Pilo while his boat was being transferred fron Morehead City. Mail me a couple of bad copies if you have them to spare, be ask: . . . Mrs. Kenneth Kinsler made arrange - i _ L??? ^ +1-> r* rvonni' in liot iPCUiS IU Uil-VC IU> dCUU VUC vu 41V. at her new home at Ft. Brady, Mich., be fore she left last week. She told us tha; she seldom missed a copy of the papei while we were sending it to her in lh< Panama Canal Zone. . . . Mrs. Lennoi S-Wain wants us to send The Pilot to hei at Church Point, La. I am starved foi home news, she said . . . Bill Payne tolc officers in Charlotte that things were gel ting too hot for them in North Carolina "It got so every little paper had our pic tures," he complained. We wonder if h< was talking about a cut of him we rar in The State Port Pilot while he was using his Brunswick county hideout? Rules For Safety At its recent annual Congress, the Nat ipnal Safety Council reaffirmed its decla ration of war on accidents, and askec for: 1. More and belter uniform traffi* laws, especially in the matters of stand ard signs and signals and drivers' licen sing requirements. 2. Stricter, fairer and more intelligem enforcement. 3. Efficient safety organizations ii every state, county and community. 4. More and better traffic engineer iug, resulting in safer highways. 5. Periodic inspection of all motoi vehicles by properly equipped station operated or closely supervised by state o: city. 6. Intelligent safety instruction in al schools. 7. More research into the physica causes and preventatives of accidents. Here is the way to make our street: and highways?which are today mon dangerous than a battlefield?safe. Then is no royal road to safety, but neither i there any mystery about it. Good drivers operating good cars, under proper regula tiops, on well designed arteries, aren' likely to cause death, injury or prcperti damage. The reckless, incompetent o drupkpn motorist; the mechanically de fective automobile; the highway which i structurally years behind the times? these are the triumvirate that are collec tively responsible for the annual traffi: massacre of 30,000 Americans. And o the three, the first is infinitely the great est menace. Vote On War The suggestion of resurrecting the pro posed Ludlow resolution giving the peo pie of the country the right to have i say by popular vote before war can b( declared has met with considerable op position recently. Now there seems little doubt that tin proposal will ever find its way back t< the floor of the Senate or the House o our National Congress. While not ideally framed in its origi nal, thp proposal had many points whicl perhaps should have deserved the con sideration of the people. Yet there wer other points which confounded the issu in the minds of the American people. THE STATE PORT PILOT. 1 Our Washington ; Letter Undoubtedly, the absorbing j question of the week has to do with the time Jag between contemporary White House confer: ences with business, labor and farm leaders and the announce1 ment of a fixed governmental t policy. The sanguine hope is ex1 pressed that the primary effects will be felt at an early date as a means of reviving public confidence. It is realized, of course, that concerted action on a vast scale requires more time than 1 that of a single individual or >' unit. A planning program of I' national scope cannot be evolved or adapted overnight and suddenly crammed down the throats * of the people. t The bright thread of politics: . is vividly clear in the pattern of discussions at the' Evecut Mansion. The animating spirit of ,' the talks being one of mutual helpfulness for national security has, in a sense, discounted the t ever-present political factors? a 1 development which will probably make the gab-feasts something more than a lame endeavor to * face problems arising from ja de-j l finite business "recession. On Ca. pitol Hill, critics of President Roosevelt are charging him with * "blowing hot and cold" on policy 3 revision for staging a comeback 1 to prosperity. Private enterprise has adopted a cooperative atU-1 tude although spotted by k l watching and searching skeptid. sm. These postures are easily accounted for in Mr. RooseveTt's conflicting public statements t which leave the country In a j quandry. Far-sighted spokes, men for powerful business groups realize mat aespite ius great 3 power, the Chief Executive is . handicapped by political considerations. 1 Readjustment of Administra tion policies, which have been lnt terwoven for five years, requires fatiguing efforts. The radical elements?the 1O0 per cent' New Dealers who were largely res1 ponsible for the innovations of . the Roosevelt regime?cannot be lightly thrown, aside or ignored. The worth and weight of their 1 influence in Presidential councils is not entirely overlooked by those who have been invited to confer with Mr. Roosevelt. On lookers who followed these delij berations closely feel that the lofty objectives of the left-wing1 era toward a government based 3 on social needs must be greatly modified in a compromise plan for the nation's welfare. All observers agree that the whole subject of policy-making is so vW tal that it cannot be treated with levity or indifference. It would be a mistake of . the first order to assume that j everthing is hunky-dory at these White House chats. The suggestions offered by the various I guests and the President are always subject to challenge?otherwise the conversations would be polite and futile. Oddly enough, it was the demonstration of con(. cem on Capitol Hill at the special session as to the future of American business that had 1 much to do with the present series of Presidential conferences. Yet, resentment is creeping out " among the solons that Mr. Roosevelt is privately bothering to ,, take the legislative branch ,of *' -t kin ?>,?. U1C gUVCi IlIUClll 1IHW ItU) VV1WI 3 dence. Congress will, however, r have full opportunity to consider the policies when the recommenda, tions for legislative action are ' forwarded from the White House. Meanwhile, prominent business j tycoons are giving a Senate committee an earful in public testimony on causes and SUggesS ted remedies for the slump In 2 trade. The larger corporations which - afford employment to vast nums bers of citizens cannot see mueh relief from government action in ' the pending tax bill. The hearings before the House Committee t on Ways and Means showed that ; the revision of the tax laws if downward would be designed to assist the smaller business enter prises. A retroactive amendS ment to the undistributed profitp tax for 1937 Is desired by industry but resisted in powerful Con gressional and Treasury circles. It C is known that representative men r having small business bgvC Stressed the need for , tax relief in * talks with the President and with the legislators. The big investment houses and banks are pkittery these days as the President openly demands restrictive legislation for holding companies. Heretofore, his objective was confined utility holding groups but - is now broadened to reach the j banking fraternity which demands from corporations which B they have financed.

'A claims division has been set up to "check on the records of all workers whose claims are re-; ceived to find if they have the proper work record. More than 35,000 of these claims were received during the first week, but many of the workers will return to work before 'the' two weeks waiting period Is .completed, and,' in ' such cases, no payment win be made. If the eligible workers remain unemployed'for the third full week,; then' they are due benefits for that week, and the checks for that week are to be sent out by January 28 or soon thereafterOne distressing condition exists, that of workers wjfto ^re jugem? ployed and whose employers have made no quarterly reports, or incomplete quarterly reports on their earnings.

' Dear Sir: j We think that Northern and Central North Carolina counties ! are getting well fed up with the jhythical feast-West' political lines. I know that a lot of people in Brunswick, the most southern ly county, are that way. Why should all of the Young Lochinlvar's have to come from the West to consort with the Jackasres on our Eastern crest? -It is ahout that way, or vice-versa. The lines have become so sharply drawn that, apparently, the whole state government Is centered on either the East or West. Northern, Central and Southern counties get very little notice or consideration. Certainly, about the only consideration we have ever had down here in Brunswick was a recommendation that we put up money for the branch of the North Carolina Fisheries, Inc. It might be added that we were also > given pronounced double-cross in the matter of a CCC camp.
