Subscription Rates DNB YKAK *1.60 8 MX MONTHS 1.00 r THREE MONTHS - .78i Wednesday, October 19, 1938 The only thing"worse tlu^?^he-gossip is a he-gossip. The rules of longevity apply only to o 1 individual cases, and you never know i' 9 whether you are "on the right tract or not until you are passed eighty. Those who call on patients in the hos- ? pital usually take so much time telling g about their own experiences that they r don't have a chance to find out how their jj I! host is getting along. Some people act stuck-up in an effort s to keep others from discovering just how f, ordinary they really are. jj The recent , row between Germany and c Czechoslovakia shows that right doesn't tj make might, either. ^ Politics make some strange bedfellows. ^ , I We have contempt for a sissy, but we <" hate a bully. ? We have hope for tomorrow, because the things that are ours today are the c things that we wanted yesterday. tj Safety Patrol a There is a new safety unit at work in g i Southport this week?the Southport high school Safety Patrol. j. A group of responsible boys have been s, assigned duty on three dangerous corn- t< ers of the town in an effort to guarantee safe passage for the school children in ^ going to and from school. The purpose of this assignment is a worthy one, but the degree of success with which it will meet is left directly up g | to the motorists of Southport and Bruns- t( wick county. They will play the game, r( we believe, when they stop to realize that the pawns are the lives of little children. ^ There Must Re A Reason Recently in Freeland news we ran b across the following item: b "We note more interest in school this p year than has been in the past as we see n several of the young folks who dropped d out two or three years ago are returning c to classes in this session." We believe there are at least two good e reasons behind this fact. In the first tl place, Mr. Z. G. Ray, the principal, is a f conscientious, hard-working official who e K is anxious to keep the standard of his s [ school right up among the best. P In the second place, we believe that s [ investigation will show that the introduc- tion of a course in vocational agriculture, v | with Mr. LeRoy Mintz as the full-time in- F structor, has induced several boys to come t I back and complete their high school edu- s cation. No longer is there the bugaboo of strange languages frightening them out t of school. Instead there is offered an op- r portunity to study modern, scientific me- ? 9 thods of farming?the vocation from r which most of them plan to earn their t I living. s We look forward to the day when < H there shall be agriculture departments in I at least four of the county schools and a | home economics department in every conI solidated school of the county. 1 More Danger A graph prepared by the National 5 Board of Fire Underwriters shows that fire losses usually increase at an alarm ing rate from September to December. "The reason for this is obvious," states the Board. "People start their stoves and furnaces as soon as cool weather arrives; in many cases neglecting to check over | their heating plants. As a result, there is an epidemic of serious fires from defec tive equipment." Soot-loaded chimneys are a major haz- ( ard. It is important to check up on chim- \ neys for cracks and holes, aijd to clean ) TH? j he flues ever}' year. Flue linings are esential for safety. Also, sagging, rusted srpoke pipes :ause trouble. Sparks may fly out and tart a fire. Don't take this chance! Intall a new pipe a safe distance from ombustibles. Another cause is overheated stoves and urnaces, the result of poor maintenance md faulty operation. If you don't get as nuch warmth as you should, the heater is irobably out of order. You should consult I heating expert. Never "force" the fire n cold weather. Keep your heating plant lean and in good repair. Use metal ontainers for hot ashes. For safety's sake check your heating quipment now, before real cold weather ets in. ^Iie Crucial Period The automobile death and accident rate las shown a steady decline for a number f months. But now the crucial test perod is at hand. We are entering the most dangerous Iriving months. Fall brings rain, to be ollowed by the ice and snows of winter, II of which immeasurably increase drivog hazards. Equally important, these seaons bring shorter days?and the accident ate at night, is much higher than in dayight. The wise driver will prepare for this angerous period. And preparation hould take two forms. Put your car in irst-class condition, so far as brakes, ghts, tires and steering are concerned, ind put yourself in the proper mental ondition for safe driving. Never forget lat the human element is the responsible actor in the great majority of accidents. Q^AVQ onvAwo rlviiro csjfplv ho TYxllftf". ICXVlt ?1?J VliV vwn ? ' V wwavij p ??V * ? * link safely. He must know the hazards e faces, and be prepared for them. This safety consciousness" is the first and lost vital essential of accident prevenon. Remember that chance-taking isn't lever. Any fool can push the throttle to le floorboards, pass on hills and curves, isregard adverse weather conditions, nd perform similar acts of idiotic reckissness. Caution is the product of inteJlience. Drive safely all the time, and be especilly careful in the fall ai.d winter seaons. Then the accident rate will continue ) go down. Golden Month (Christian Science Monitor) As the moving finger deftly whisks eptember from northern calendars, the jnth month of the waning year stands evealed in varicolored glory. The landcape has taken on Rembrandtesque luches of color. Rich reds and vivid rowns predominate. Summer's green has iven way to a riot of russets. October is not welcomed by song of bird r buzz of bee. But in their stead comes riefl.v another aerial greeter, the rainow-winged butterfly. Although some lant life has gone into its hibernation, lany flowers are seen and there is no rabness since the still plentiful foliation ontributes a thousand tantalizing tints. \T.l ii*.* mature seems suddenly to nave acquird the Midas-like faculty of turning all hings to gold, and vine and tree send orth, seemingly overnight, leaves platd with the precious metal. A tempered un likewise does its part, drenching the eaceful countryside with a golden glow, hining down on pleasant pastoral scenes -igloes of harvested hay and Indian-like illages of stalked corn, while plump tumpkins, catching its reflection, are ransformed into a thousand satellite uns. Although the current month boasts all he colors of the spectrum, yellow?the aellowed yellow of autumn?seems to lominate the scene. It is as though the nyriad hues of summer have resolved hemselves, through rosy changes, into a ingle shade, that, from the dross of the lays fed into the crucible of time, emerres a huge ingot?October's gold. Some men bring home the bacon all ight, but it's sliced mighty thin. Back Fences are something that children climb, cows jump and women gossip over. At any rate, the map of Europe seems rapidly to be changing its facial expression. Lying never seems so despicable as when the other fellow's witnesses are doing a better job than yours. From Oklahoma comes word of the development of a milch cow only 33 inches tall. It is, we believe, the first attempt to condense the cow.?Chicago Daily News. >TATg PORT PILOT. SOUTF Just Among The Fishermen ? COOPERATIVE When it comes to cooperating in- any good undertaking the Southport folks just can't be beat i and they do not mind being called upon to do some thing. Last week this columnist had an outstanding commercial photographer here. The pictures he made are destine to be of wonderful advertising value to Southport and Brunswick count. Half a dozen boatmen offered free service in getting the party to Bald Head Island. The craft of Prank Mollycheck was selected, as he was going anyway. At the last moment it wa3 found that the party was larger than earlier expected and Reverend and Mrs. I A. H. Marshall prevailed on Mr. I Mollycheck to let their bigger boat be substituted. Over on the island the accommodating Captain J. E. Pinner, of the Cape Pear lighthouse, gave transportation. Frank Sherrill, of Charlotte insisted, on being host to everybody at dinner. Adrian Willetts of the Coast Guard, did superlative work in preparing the same. The dozen or more men in the Varnum shore fishery vied with each other in eagerness to execute the slightest wishes of Mr. Farrell. the photographer. In addition to other things they maintained a nextra sharp watch for fish in order that a picture could be made of a set. At one time I they even went to the labor of making a set when there was few I prospects. of fish in order that the camera could record the process. Captain and Mrs. J. E. Pinner, Captain and Mrs. Munn, Captain and Mrs. MonycnecK ana everybody on the island did everything they could. Outside of the expo- 1 sure of a hundred or more films the whole day passed without the i photographer and his guide being i subject to a cent of expenses. Back at Ben Giay's fish house the skipper's of the shrimp trawlers and their helpers were right there with everything that was , called for in the way of cooper- ^ ation. So was Capt in Willis, who , manages the house for Mr. Gray. . The flashlights recorded a lot of ( interesting features of Southport's commercial fishing industry. ....In the picking house, itself, , things also went pretty well. The ( colored shrimp pickers were a , littel shy of the exploding flash lights but most of them stood . to their ta3k at the tables. Things could have been better but the . camera man was satisfied. The next day, with a dozen shrimp trawlers having offered to carry everything free for pictures , of a day's trawling operations, the Empress, of Captain Leslie , Day and his father, Captain Ben , Day, was selected. It was a large . boat and had a mast and other accessories that would lend them- ^ selves to photography when the . net was being hoisted aboard. The two skippers and their . helper, Clyde Colburn, were fine in coope: ating in every way they j could. They set out a good break- , fast and at noon a great shrimp , and fish dinner with accessories was brought out on deck and eaten there. The camera man got ' close to 100 shots of the shrimping scenes during the day. Most of them were scenes right there on the Empress, but many pic- 1 tures were also taken or otner trawlers as they approached or passed the Empress. Next day called for another early start. This time the menhaden ship W. P. Anderson, of the Brunswick Navigation Company providing the transportation. The Anderson is in command of Mayor John D. Eriksen. Southport's sea-going mayor. Clamberjing aboard at the dock, obliging colored fishermen quickly directed the photographer and assistant forward to where Captain Ericksen and his boatkeeper, Dock Robinson, were waiting in the pilot house. Coffee was brought out instantly by Jasper Galloway, colored fisherman, who waite on the Captain's table. Waiting for the, whole fleet to cast off, Captain J. B. Church, dean of Southport fishermen, came aboard for a few minutes talk, as did Captain Rheuben Gutherie and Captain Thomas St. George. Then we were off and soon thereafter Jasper appeared again this time to set the table for breakfast. It was not a good day for fishing. Only a few were sighted and no sets were made. Nevertheless, Parrell's efficient camera recorded a wonderful story of the menhadden fishing. Pictures were made of the Mayor's colored firstmate, John Frink, and of Elias Gore, gigantic fisherman who stands over seven feet tall. In the domain of Joseph Parker, the cook, some excellent pictures were also made. Joseph had a fine typical sea-going dinner "ready at 11:30, Coming in about the middle of the afternoon Farrel lgot several score wonderful pictures of a big schooner-yacht, aground with all sails set This is told of in another story else where In this paper. "What do you mean?girls are balaed"? "Oh, bias us this and bias tPORT, M. C. Holding Meeting At Acme D Reverend J. R. Potts, of 1 port, and Reverend J.
