We aren't talking so much about those who owe the institution and won't pay, v nor about these who go to Wilmington or p Whiteville instead of coming to South port. 11 We are talking about our average, aifiausi u-lm takes thisl^ UtUl-frtVUlg Iiivt* ? lUHi.. .. fine institution entirely too much forlN granted. If he fully appreciated the dif- a ficulty of keeping Dosher Memorial IIos-1" pital up to the standards of the American 111 College of Surgeons, then his respect for the local hospital and the good it is doing |. would be greatly increased. L The following requirements have been ^ met by Dosher Memorial Hospital. Read n them over so you can see the fine job j ^ that is being done despite difficulties. | and feel proud to lend your social and o financial support to an institution that is a credit to Brunswick county: I , "1. Modern physical plant, assuring the patient safety, comfort, and efficient n P care. "2. Clearly defined organization, duties, responsibilities, and relations. j "3. Carefully selected governing board with complete and supreme authority. ^ "4. Competent, well trained superinVenrv' dent responsible to the governing board. "5. Adequate and efficient personnel, ^ properly organized and competently su- t pervised. I" "6. Organized medical staff of ethical, *1 competent physicians and surgeons. o "7. Adequate diagnostic and therapeutic facilities under competent medical su- pervision. "8. Accurate, complete medjcal records, | readily accessible for research and fol- ~ lowup. I ^ "9. Regular group conferences of the administrative staff and of the medical staff for reviewing activities and results so as to maintain a high plane of scientific efficiency. "10. A humanitarian spirit?the primary consideration being the best care of the patient." Distinguished Visitors This has been, and will be, a big week for Southport. Perhaps of much greater importance than many of us realize. To begin with, of course, there was the gathering here of members of the Outdoor Writers Association of America. Members of this association are men who are in intimate touch with the sportsmen of the nation, men who know and understand problems of conservation of game and forests and natural resources. Most of them represent metropolitan dailies and hail from our larger eastem cities. The fact that they have taken time off from their work for their trip here is flattery aplenty for Southport. Chief credit for this, of course, is due W. B. Keziah, tireless drum-beater for things in this section. It is nothing short of remarkable that he has been able, twice in succession, to lure these men away from other resorts and places of entertainment that are anxious for the prestige of their presence at a convention of this nature. Stragglers from the Outdoor Writers group will hardly be gone before the vanguard of distinguished legionnaires, here for the district American Legion Convention on Friday night, will arrive. Legionnaires of the Brunswick County Post, members of the Legion Auxiliary and private citizens have spared no effort to make Friday's celebration a memorable one in the hospitable history of Southport. Labor s Opportunity I ^ i . Th recent statement of the President of the United States, in which he said that labor must now forego strikes in the interest of national defense, should be pondered with care by the labor leaders. The President's words, beyond doubt, reflected the opinion of the overwhelming majority of Americans. A man who strikes today, strikes against his country's safety. A man who uses the threat of the strike unless government and industry capitulate meekly to his demands, is helping his country's enemies. The dictators must be gratified indeed when they read of recurring defense strikes in the nation which is working to become the arsenal of democracy. This government has established elabjrate arbitration machinery to protect lajor against any conceivable injustice. The jmployers of this nation accept without luestion the decisions made. It is a segnent of labor leadership which keeps inlustrial unrest going, and which holds to he "rule or ruin" principle. Labor has its chance now to work at ecord-breaking wages. If it persists in triking, the American people will know chat to do. The Japanese Situation We are inclined to agree with many writers who think President Roosevelt is ursuing the soundest policy in our deal- i ugs with Japan. People who have returned from the ,and of the Rising Sun emphasize the , ulnerability of the Nipponese to attack, ' nd their utter inability to cope with the 1 1 ,,,J 'u mi 11 lociern military situation. mere seems ttle room left for doubt with the modrn military situation. There seems little 00111 left for doubt that the Japs are be- 1 lg goaded and prodded by Hitler at J very point to pick a fight with the Uni- ( id States but nobody knows the Japa- < ese lack of military and navel strength 1 etter than Uncle Sam. We are told that the paper-box houses t f the larger cities of Japan would be i xceptionally effective targets for incen- ' iaries and other bombs. It is not uncom- ] ion for an ordinary fire even at the i resent time to destroy as many as 2,000 1 ouses at a time. 1 The Japanese are conscious of the fact lat their navy could not successfully i ithstandf an attack by the more power il U. S. naval units. All this leads up to the one conclusion. < f the Japs are goaded into war with the 1 'nited States, which would be a move by : litler to divert U. S. help for Britain, len the Nipponese are bidding for their wn destruction. I Anrl Pacfp IOT WISHING CURE (The News & Observer) Lieut. Col. Amos R. Koontz, medical direc- ' I tor of the Selective Service System in Maryland, made provocative statement recently in a discussion of the meaning of draft re- ' jection figures in terms of the general public health. "A comparatively small percentage of registrants in whom defects are found," he said, "show any willingness or desire to have them corrected." On first reading this sounds Incredible. In effect what Lieutenant Colonel Koontz says is that people with defects which could be easily remedied are not willing to undergo the necessary corrective procedures. He adds that no matter what facilities may be available for the correction of defects, they are valueless ! unless the people in whom the defects exist are gotten into the frame of mind which makes them want to have them corrected. "This is a matter of education," he says. mat is, or course, true. There is need, as he says, for a closer and more realistic collaboration between public health and education authorities. Others have observed, as he does, that the kind of health and hygiene courses now given in the schools "do not, as a rule, make much impression on the students." Like the courses in government, called civics, they seem almost designed to be kept at a distance < from reality and from study interest. Nevertheless, the fact is that if the schools had created such a real health consciousness, as , he thinks is needed, in many States, if not in Maryland, the facilities for correction of defects would not have been available. Education and opportunity in this matter, as in others, must go hand in hand. Nobody 1 wants to die who can live in health. Nobody ] wants to be crippled or deformed who can be cured. Nobody wants to be undernourished. ' Education is necessary, better and more re- i alistic education. But in North Carolina and ' many other States there are waiting lists on the facilities available for the cure of defect and disease. Despite all advances, public health like public education still has a long way to go. THE STATE PORT P g < The f FISHERMEN ? BY BILL KEZIAH i? I" r Except for the fact that it provides good local hunting when a bit of cold weather comes along, jj the coast of Brunswick county is s not in it when it comes to provid-' ? 1ng duck hunters with sport. Just p as there is great duck hunting Jp in the Florida Everglades to the P south of us, there is great sport |e at Lake Manatamusket on our!n east. The coast of Brunswick, for j the most part high and dry, has,3 very few ducks (or mosquitoes) j to boast of. It [a: The above is written in fairness to sportsmen. Hunting is closely j0 allied to fishing. The lower North | Carolina coast claims that in Fry- ci Ing Pan shoals it has the best; f! salt water fishing east of Flor-1n iw ida to offer to the sportsmen. jr There is also good local hunting; C1 but when it comes to the specta- js -ular in duck shooting we have nothing to offer. c( , i When Scott Hart, widely known ty feature writer for The Washing- y ton Post and his photographer. |se Bill Klenn, came in this week for Vv pictures of the opening of the tj ilick hunting season, we frankly w told them to go to lake Manta- m musket to get what they had been!if issigned to get. We had very lit- ui tie to offer in the way of duck ? limiting pictures and stories to Jffer our friends of the outdoor writers and newspapers. When it j comes to pictures and stories of j fishing, we hope that Scott and j Sill will find their way to Southport again. This week we had a very much appreciated letter from our friend. Judge Henry Dannehl, of Fredericksburg, Va. Judge Dannehl is somewhere around 82-years of age and is about as hale, active and hearty as we are. An ardent Sport fisherman from his boyhood days, he still comes to Southport at least once each year for salt water fishing on Frying Pan. He has turned the mind of many Virginia sportsmen to the fishing at Southport. From Des Moines, Iowa, this week, came a letter from the one and only Jay N. (DING) Darling, a life member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America, and perhaps its most famous member. Ding wrote for us to convey his "Lilac-scented and deckle-edged regards" to all of the fellows. If we ever get Ding l.l? Te...n I.. - .. iiuiii iu"? i>ciu>m lima iui a ir? flays on the coast of North Carolina, we will feel that we have done the ultimate of accomplishment. Hereafter, we think, the lower North Carolina coast has a wonderful friend in Arnold Stewart, outdoor editor of the News-Journal papers, in Wilmington, Del. It was the beginning of the ducking season. Arnold came down thinking he was getting into good ducking country at a time when ducking stuff was interesting to his readers. He was wrong in that, but he arose to the occasion like the true sportsman that he is. He adapted himself to what he found and asked that we put him on our fishing news releases for the benefit of his Delaware and other readers. He is a fellow we will always be glad to see down here. Then- were too many of the Outdoor editors and their affiliated interests here this week for us to mention them all at this lime. Besides, we better wait until they all get home. We will better be able to send them our parting affections next week, instead of giving it to them now. RECEIVES BURNS Jimmie Smith of Southport was admitted to Dosher Memorial Hospital Tuesday for treatment for burns.

Gilbert Pearson, the world's most famous rinthologist, was here this week to attend the leeting- of the Outdoor Writers Association. He old this story regarding some difficulty he exerienced in obtaining admission to Guilford Col;ge, from which he later graduated. The presient, it seems, was giving him an oral quiz to etermine his fitness for higher learning. Finally i desperation the president, a good member of fie Quaker faith, asked, "Gilbert, does thee know nything at all?" And Dr. Pearson says that he old him he knew the name, the call and nesting abits of more than one hundred fifty birds. Well," the college president admitted, "thee nows more than I do. We'll let thee stay." . . . ind while on the subject of bird lovers, two kined spirits got together Sunday afternoon when >r. Pearson visited Oaks Plantation and found fie owner, F. B. Adams, at home. The two spent ome time paddling about the lakes of the planltion talking about birds, and identifying them.
