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

Hulan Watts says that every time a dec

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!

"It got so every little paper had our pic

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.

Sot; thport, N. C. '
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.
