Subscription Rates ONI YEAR 11.50 EX MONTHS 1.00 THREE MONTHS .76 NATIONAUDITORIALiflAiJ&.ASSOCIATION IU ll y/limit Wednesday, October 15, 1941 Bay Scout Troop No. 35 We admire the quiet efficiency with which Scoutmaster Fred Ashbum has pone about organizing a Boy Scout troop in Southport and guiding it through the first stage of development. Without benefit of ballyhoo, the boys and their leader have stuck to business and have passed quickly through the stage of tenderfoot scouts to a higher station, second class scouts, an attainment made as a result of a recent Court of Honor in Wilmington. Meanwhile, they have given active cooperation to at least two phases of the National Defense program, have participated in one funeral and have assisted the town in emerutmiiig viMimg ov.?.v.o| on three occasions. Although the latter instances did have their mercenary angle, they nevertheless did represent a service rendered. Citizens of the community, and particularly those who have sons in the Boy Scout troop, should be deeply grateful to the young scoutmaster. It is a big responsibility that he has undertaken and his new job will make demands upon both his time and his means. There is no yardstick for measuring the good that he is doing. Right now he is directing the activities of a group of normal boys into channels of wholesome and worthwhile development; the greater dividend will be in a finer citizenship of the future. Matter Of Supplies It has long been believed in many circles that two factors would eventually defeat Hitler: First ,the scope of American material aid to Britain and her allies; second, a slowing down of production inside Germany due to lack of certain basic supplies which are vital to the existence of the civilian population as well as to Hitler's gigantic military effort. Now is a good time to examine just what effect i.1 U ~ muse lauiurs ciie iicivnig un tne war. You can find many and various reports on American shipments to England, ranging from the wildly optimistic to the darkly pessimistic. A first hand report recently appeared in Raymond Clapper's syndicated column. Mr. Clapper is a forthright and able journalist, and lately spent considerable time in England finding out for himself how matters stand. His report is far from being encouraging. When it comes to lend-lease deliveries, he wrote, "The figures, in terms of appropriations, allocations and transfers, are large. In terms of deliveries, they shrink like a pair of wool socks in the laundry." Food, for instance, is one of England's principal needs. Yet, he stated, only about 200,000 tons of lend-lease food? equal to two and a half days' English consumption?had arrived when he was there a little more than a month ago. We are far behind schedule on shippihg arms, he continued, notably the tanks and bombing planes which represent one of Britain's most important military lacks. To use his own words, "So far as the British are concerned, ours still is ?ider the needs of our Associa-1 t tion and the work of our denomin-1, ition. Thus we go to be informed ind inspired concerning our work ' 'or Christ?that of reaching the 1 ost for Him. Therefore, we hope that our j brethren will put on their list of ' :hings to be done the part they: < ire going to have to support by i jifts and prayers our Baptist j Hospital, Winston-Salem, N. C. Brethren of the Brunswick As- ' ;ociation, we should do this: Here c s why:? j 1. Because of what our Baptist Hospital stands for. It stands as a memorial to the i jlory of Christ in healing Human-1 ty's hurt, physically and spiritu- j' illy. It is for Him we do it. j F The hospital stands as a me- jc norial to the obedience of our F I r s'orth Carolina Baptist brethren, jv Ibedience to that clear, ringing 1 lommand of our Lord. ! s It stands for true 'Christ-like aith and practice. Faith without p forks is dead. By our hospital we t iaptist manifest a living faith in h lur living Lord. n II. Because of what our hos- j, lital is doing. t Since May, 1923, the opening j o if the hospital, up to May. 1941. I il,395 patients have bene admit- a ed. "Of this number, 15,300 were | s nothers who were almost all 0 lessed to return to their 45,600 ' s hildren. During this time about .285 preachers, missionaries, and )( ninisterial students were patients a the hospital. Within these 17U ears about 20.350 patients, who e re usually referred to as serv- u ce or charity patients, were reated at an estimate cost of 1,956,000." The building program is fin- jt shed. This gives the hospital a J ed capacity of 300 whereas it .'as 108. This will mean 10,000 j f an be treated each year. "Of his number we may expect 3,300 f them will be service patients: hat is, not able to pay a hospital t iill. And 3,300 will be mothers I -j i'ho have waiting for their return orae, 10,000 children. If the pres- t( nt rate is maintained. 200 will e preachers for whom no charge as been made for the last two ears or more." Then there is the staff of 100 octors, all specialists in many ields of medicine and surgery. There is the well equipped tandard Training School for furses. A class of fifty will be iken each year, making a school ever previously visited Southport.: !ut his outdoor page has caried gobs of stuff about the Irunswick county hunting and ishing.

Other guys who have already laced themselves on record as goin' to come down here on the irst of November, have never yet ighted us, or we them.

In most cities and towns in the nine southern states we serve, the demand upon our services is without precedent.
