H Most of the Southport ball players hi I like pitchers, but none of them pitch lik one. Some people have to live up to thei I reputations while others are forced fe Blive theirs down. H The victim always knows how to diag nose an attack of conscience. We are always suspicious of heraldec charity. If over compensation for an inferiority complex causes a person to talk loud anc act tough then we know some people whc must have an inner feeling that they art Ha worm. About the only way some people evei Hforget a prejudice is to take up a new WBird Sanctuary From Harry T. Davis, director of th< Rtforth Carolina State Museum, in Raleigh Hcomes the suggestion that Battery Islanc Hbe made a bird refuge. Mr. Davis and H. H. Brimley, curator Hwere here last week and made frequenl visits to the strip of land across the rivei channel from Southport in quest of ex Hhibitsfor a heron display in'the Stat* HMuseum. Both men were greatly impres ftcil with the possibility of making a birc nark over on Battery Island. [ "In connection with Battery Island,' Kaid Mr. Davis, "I have the persistant Hhought that it should be set aside as i nermanent bird park. If it is properly de Hveloped, I can understand that it migh Hbring more visitors to Southport thai Hwould the fishing, and this is not belittl Hng the fishing." instructor Needed We do not know the usual procedure ii Hecuring a Red Cross examiner for tin nurpose of conducting a series of life sav Hng tests and swimming classes, but w< Hre going to find out and see what cai H>e done about getting one for Southpor Hhis summer. One of the normal ambitions of i Hmungster is to learn to swim, and mos Htny robust boy who has learned to swin Bias a desire to go on with his training Hind take a life saving test. In the river and over at the bead here is unlimited possibility for youn* Hwimmers in this community, but eacl Ie has its risk for the boy or girl wh< ot swim. Even the swimmers get in ifficulty occasionally, and when the] t is well to have along some compan uapable of rendering safe, speedy as nee. lere is an active chapter of the Amer Red Cross here, and there appears t< o be no reason why a swimming in ;tor may not be secured. Surely w< v of no other place where one coulc tiore worthwhile good. iday Schools fie Men's Bible class of Trinity Meth t church Sunday school is a stronf or in the religious life of the South community. Sunday after Sunda] will find there a large group of mei id for an hour by a singleness of pur !. ut from this group springs many mer ! acts that have been of untold hell ess fortunate fellows, but the joy o: ice has greatly enriched the lives o1 men who regularly attend this class fter witnessing the good that is ac plished by this class, and knowing th< d that accrues to its members, w< ider why there ave not more units o) kind in our church school organiza > tions. Sunday school is a fine place foryout training, and under the proper disciplin . and guidance boys and girls can lear from their weekly Sunday school lessor j things that will enrich the spiritual an cultural background of their lives. The pity of it, though, is that relativ< ly few classes in Sunday school do th 0 good they are supposed to do, and th 0 sum total of the classes is not on th 6 credit side. And before that statement has us cm ered with an avalanche of protests w might just as well jump headlong int the sea of criticism. The idea of a Sunda School is to study the Bible, learn it stories and try to interpret their meanin so that the lessons drawn may be used t guide and direct our daily activities. Th . attitude of a person attending a clas 't should be one of reverence and of earnei inquiry. All right, what do we find? Well, i too many cases we find teachers wh (. have no more business teaching a Sunda e school class than they do preaching froi the pulpit. Their knowledge of subje< matter is shallow and uninteresting, the r usually have made little or no prepan 0 tion and there is a woeful need for th kind of poise that stimulates good b< havior. Criticism of the majority of Sunda school students comes under that latte head. Disorder and lack of respect con j pletely thwart the attempt of many tei chers who otherwise might do effectiv work. r This is not intended to be an agonisti 1 editorial from which the deduction is t be drawn that there is no possible good t come from Sunday school. On the cor trary, we class it as one of our finest ir stitutions when it is properly conducted. r The question of how to do this is on r that must be thrashed out by older an wiser heads, but it is a matter that deser ves critical, thoughtful consideration. Service % Maybe there appears to you to be noth ' ing unusual about today's paper, but w ' are proud of the fact that it is servin; our readers in such a wide variety o , ways. t Included is an announcement of a fami r ly reunion, a children's day program a . one of the rural churches, the annua ? session of the Vacation Bible School, plu - the usual run of other current news. 1 But the thing of which we are justl proud is the large number of country coi ' respondents who have sent in contribu t tions this week. We believe these com l munity letters are filled with interest fo our readers and it is our earnest hope tha our correspondents will continue to sem t in this news. 1 - Time For Action Naturally, everyone will recognize in stantly that malaria with regard to actua fatality cannot be compared with Yel^ i Fever, but both are mosquito-transmitters J The methods of ridding Cuba of the fe\ - er-bearing mosquito could be applied wit! - a great deal of good here in Brunswic 1 county. t The swamps and lowlands which outli the territory in and around Southpoi j and all other sections of Brunswick coun ^ ty furnish excellent breeding places fo j the malaria-bearing mosquito. Poor drain _ age, improper steps to eradicate sua! mosquito breeding places have beefTcoii tributing factors in the situation as w have it at present. Hundreds and thousands of people i Southport and Brunswick county suffe from malaria annually ? this diseas which saps the vitality, breaks dow their resistance against more serious ma! adies, and in general wreaks havoc o the physical system. Medical authorities of the county wi attetet to the accurateness of our est: mate?Quinine and other malaria med cines are dispatched here every year a most by the truck-load. It seems that it's high time for med: cal authorities, public health authoritie: governmental agencies, and the people a large to unite in their efforts to stam out this disease from Brunswick count - and its environs. ? ?

THE STATE PORT PILOT, h WASHINGTON : LETTER IS , Washington, June 20?Job hunt- J ers and their poMtical sponsors have descended upon the Capitol seeking gifts from the patronage counter. Congress left large appropriations and authorizations e for the employment of experts g and others. The solons, already " flooded with begging letters and j some preemptory demands from henohmen back home, quickly dis- 1 g appeared from their official lairs ' when the gavel fell for adjourn- ] ment. y It is surprising the number of rg lawyers, economists and other al- ' leged experts, who are either ' ? foot-loose or willing to give up ' 0 present employment for a berth J e on Uncle Sam's payroll. Leading in the list of contenders for po' sltions are the small army of ' 5t former N. R. A. employees, who ' feel that experience under the n Blue Eagle entitles them to spe- ' cial consideration. This type is ' 0 making a big play for job assigny ments under the new labor stand-1 [ n ards act, which they insist is ' comparable to the N. R. A., as it ] -t deals with questions of wages and ' y hours. The Labor Department, which j will figure prominently in the administration of the law, is the J J* magnet these days. It is known ( that the Administration created ( v under the Act will probably be N ' selected from the names forwarder ed to the President by Secretary j 1- of Labor Perkins before she sail- { ed for Europe. The word has been ' passed that employees for this ' 6 newer agency will be selected j from Civil Service lists, which ( c will complicate the loading of , political appointees. The lav/ does ^ not become operative until 120 0 days after the President signs. { 1- The bill was enacted after warnings about a long series of Su- , preme Court decisions about the I commerce clause. The pro-labor ' g forces insist the courts will susj tain it on the grounds of needed regulation of public health. Opinion differs as to the achievements of the Congress. Sen- i ator Bailey of North Carolina, an old-line Democrat, remarked, "It is possible that we might cure things by staying longer, but C fVixa oviHonno tin f/-v r\r>\tr le nnlfo I to the contrary". That was obvi- f e ously the general sentiment. The t legislators resisted all efforts to J ? keep their noses to the grind f stone. The White House threat of 1 a special session after the elec- t tions to consider railroad and 6 other matters fell on deaf ears, t t The solons have their troubles in c ,1 the home districts which requires I their personal attention. Officials of all states and their t political machines wil lexamine i y with a hostile eye the latest re- f port of the National Resources 1 Committee. The recommendations i I- of this Federal agency, contained t l- in ad ocument "The Future of < r State Planning" is something t that should interest taxpayers in ' j all communities. The findings, as i submitted to the President and 1 made public this week, involve vital questions as to the relation- * ship of the central government 8 to the governors and lesser fry t in the state administrations. The > l~ gentle hint is emphasized that ? 1 "the State planning movement 1 V has depended to a very large ex- ' 5. tent on Federal financial assist- , r. ance". The lawmakers will also ] l underline the comment that "the t planning boards normally have i a a closer relationship to the Gov- s ernor than to State legislature." s e The situation in many common- f , wealths has been anything but i happy. The cause of friction is i l" mentioned in the Federal report ( T which concedes that in their deal lags with the public "the State t l. ; planning boards are faced with j a dilcOnma". It seems that "if ! I- the activities of the board are i e publicized extensively the State i departments may feel, and quite ( rightly, that they are not receiv- i R ing the proper credit for their { r work". On the other hand, "if 5 g tbe board receives no publicity, \ it may have difficulty in secur- ( ing adequate financial support or 3 I- public support for its general ob- ; n jectives". The government agency t feels that a partial solution would ( be to "publicize no personality" s II and the state boards should "have t i_ no lay members on their way up \ the political ladder". All of which ( is more ideal than practical with j I- planing board authorizing to ar- ^ range state projects form which i i- patronage and political capital I 3( could be derived. And the Nation-, it al Resources Board consists of five Cabinet members, W. P. A. ' P Administrator Hopkins and F. H. y Delano, the President's uncle. The meanderings of the National Economic Committee created to make a sweeping inquiry I e into practically all phases of business activity are a source of concern. Business officials are likely to defer vacations with the prospect of committee agents apy pearing at the offices with de- ( r mands for data heretofore regarded as private and confiden- ; tial. "Hie committee expected to ! make sensational plays in the [j early fall?just prior to the elections. The more orderly aspects 0 of the inquiry will be in effect when facts rather than scandal are more desirable. Business and mittee as part of the political e picture. They fully anticipated a 0 wave of one-sided evidence for ^ the proponents of the committee i _ SOUTHPORT. N. C.

Expert Answers Farm Questions \dvice On Poultry Blood Testing; Hog Rations; Curing Barn Of Tobaccc Question:? Is it possible for the poultry lock owner to do his own blood esting? Answer:? It is possible but not advisable mless the owner has had special raining along these lines. While idvertisements may say that the esting is simple and that anyine can do it, the proper interiretation of the test requires raining, and, for the safety ol he flock it is much better tc lave this work done by a proessional. Applications to Dr. Wiliam Moore, State Veterinarian laleigh, will receive prompt atention if made before July 15th Question:? What proportion of cottonseed neal can be used in a ration foi logs with satisfactory results? Vnswer:? Recent experiments show thai vhen equal parts of fish meal ind cottonseed meal are used as he protein supplement, the aninals made more rapid and cheaptr gains than where other mix.ures were used. However, no ill iffects were evident from a largir consumption of cottonseed neal, but the rate of gain was owered. By replacing one-half oi he fish meal with cottonseed neal, each 100 pounds of cottonleed meal saved 111 pounds ol ihelled corn and 31 pounds ol 'ish meal, without any value beng placed on the increase in ate of gain. Question:? How long does it take to cure t barn of tobacco? Vnswer:?It usually requires frorr 14 to 96 hours fcr proper curng. The first temperature ahoulc >e from five to ten degrees high;r than that outside the barn rhis is maintained until the leal s fairly yellow or about 24 tc 16 hours. The temperature is hen raised four to five degrees :ach hour until it reaches 120 tc L25 degrees. When the tips of the eaves begin to dry the tempera:ure is raised another 15 to 2C legrees at the rate of four tc rix degrees an hour and held unil the leaf tissue is dry. It is hen raised again from 5 to 1C legrees an hour until the tern lerature reaches 180 to 190 de frees and this heat maintainec intil the leaf stem is dry in al jarts of the barn.
