Wednesday, November 26, 1941 fBi ing the dust is just an old American custc n. Pedestrians pick right up where |j: the l sdskins left off. 1 Nc iv they're selling cigaret butts in |, Fran e?and despite the high price, business s picking up. , Ur 'ortunately most of us are not like a j stean kettle, which sings even though it is up to its neck in hot water.

Diversified Farming | We have written before about the far- 1 ^ mingj practices of Mr. Wallace Moore, II and fe hold up his methods as an ex | ampl4 which may well be followed by farmars of Brunswick. In she first place, the success or failure oi his farming is not dependent upon it any <{ne of the so-called cash crops. He i caters to the appetite of the public, and lie r^ts his case upon the presumption that people must eat. 1 Therefore, his first crop each year is waterpellons, and although some seasons are litter than others, he usually manages to show a good return from the sale J of meflons. I Right back on this same land, then, : goes 4 potato crop that finds a ready sale i any itormal fall. Sweet potatoes are be- 1 i coming more and more a staple item in 1 f the isjverage American family diet, and i ; Mr. Moore is one of Brunswick county's ; I largest producers. Completing his cycle of four crops per f year, Mr. Moore raises hogs, using, by the ' way, many of the culled sweet potatoes | and slips as feed. Now the reason Mr. Moore is probably | the most successful farmer in the county, | year in and year out, is not so much that i: he raises watermelons, sweet potatoes, | pears and hogs. Rather is it that he plans 1 his farm program ahead and makes his z arrangements accordingly. And that is * * " A if the lesson tnat is m mis story iui umu I Brunswick farmers: To choose some | worthwhile program of diversified farm- | ]| ing and stick to it year after year. y J? Good Advice K For the past three weeks we have been I running a series of Open Fpram letters IT from D. Sam Cox, recent visitor to SouthI port, who took such an interest in our I community that he wanted to make a few I suggestions to its citizens regarding its J future. Among the things he said this stateK ment stands out: "If the citizens of your I town do not recognize the things that ? need doing and do them, somebody is I coming in who will." Now there is a statement that may be I worth remembering. We confidently be lieve that Southport faces a period of adJjj vancement and development, and it is | our opinion that we have citizens in our |"k midst thoroughly capable of playing a leading role. But the time for them to start is before, not after, outsiders have come in to take over. Camp To Be Abandoned H I Abandonment of the Civilian ConserI vation Camp 12 miles south of Bolton I will arouse genuine regret among the I people of Columbus and Brunswick coun ties, which have been the chief benefiI ciaries under this project. It is entirely understandable that the I men in the Civilian Conservation Camp at I this moment of emergency may be put to w more pressing business than that in which 11 they are presently engaged. But it is to | be hoped that when the present crisis is 3 over, they may be returned to the busiI ness of preserving the natural resources I of this nation. It cannot be denied that one of Colum bus county's most valuable natural resources, if not its most valuable resource, lies in the forest lands which the CCC men have been protecting during the past several years. This work has been constructive, and has been valuable to the county as a whole. For the CCC work to be abandoned permanently would be a blow to the na-| tion as a whole, in that the business of the CCC during the past several years has been principally the protection of the country's vast natural resources and wild life. But the most important phase of the CCC work has been the building of strong, sturdy bodies of young men, who might otherwise have been wasting themselves in idleness. Momentarily, the military is taking care in a large sense of this situation, but the day may come when 1 the CCC will again have to be called upon to contribute its part toward this ? phase of our national life. ' * Too Early J The month of November is almost past, t and with it has gone one-half of the open * season for migratory fowl. It is needless ^ to point out that there have been very ? few days since the first of the month fit ' for duck hunting. * We know there is nothing that can be done about it for this year, but we be- 1 lieve that if enough sportsmen get behind ? the movement we can bring about a 0 change that will have the open season h coincide more closely with the appear- ? ance of wild ducks along this section of e the North Carolina coast. t . 9 91 Welcome, R. A *s v . t ? Whiteville, during the week-end, is to n nlav host to some 120 boys between the ages of 9 and 16 who will be here in attendance at the Baptist Royal Ambassa- ^ dor conclave of the Wilmington division, e which will be held in the local church. r It has never been more truly said than ? that the hope of the American nation a lies in its youth. It is such organizations * as the R. A.'s that makes America what ? it is today. Judge John J. Burney, speaking before R the young people of Westminster Presby- e terian Church on Sunday evening, made ^ the striking statement that during his h years on the bench, he has never yet been s called upon to sentence any young man ? who attended church regularly, and fur- 3 therm ore, he has never had to sentence * but one yonng man who was at any time * a member of a Boy Scout troop. With such organizations as this flourishing in America, occupying the atten- J tion of the boys and girls, is it any sur- ? prise that America can be expected to j withstand the tide, however strong it < may be ? f ~ 1 1 | Shears And Paste S IN THE NEWS f t It snouia De a source 01 iraamuuu w wi North Carolinians that the 1941 season of "The Lost Colony" at Manteo yielded the largest net profit in the history of its presentation. D. Bradford Fearing, president of the Roanoke Island Historical Association and executive manager of The Lost Colony production, in his report to the board of directors recently, said that there was a gross income of $61,000, and that of the net profits $10,000 had been used to pay back debts; and approximately $900 remains on hand. The pageant drew visitors from the far corners of the nation and even foreign lands. The boost it has given to North Carolina is, of course, invaluable.?High Point Enterprise. HITLER'S LATEST LIE ! "I have commanded German ships, whenever they see Americans, not to shoot there- , upon but to defend themselves as soon as 1 they are attacked." If this new lie were not completely refuted by the record of his U-boats alone, it would be refuted by all the rest Of Hitler's record. When in his career has he deliberately allowed any one to attack him first? The "self-defense" of his U-boats is the same kind of "selfdefense" that Nazi Go-many made successively against the "attacks" of Austria, Caeeho-Stovakia, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Greece and Russia.?

' THE STATE PORT P i i i ;" -?T g The FISHERMEN i BT BILL KEZIAH ( Maxie Cooker has been telling ' ts that there are a lot of coons ] >n Bald Head Island. He bases its conclusions on the fact that j hey have been eating fish, taught In bis nets In the creeks ! m the northern side. The nets tre set near the bank and the isheraian goes on to set another J let or to wait for an hour or so lefofe taking a net out. A fish omes along, gets caught near he top of the net and the coon ' lips out of the grass and reeds * o dive in, pull him to the bank .nd make a meal before the c Ishennan returns. This has been ( lapiienlng during the |>ast ?veek. * * * * I Maxie has also been reporting * he presence of lots of ducks, nd he is probably the best quali- ^ ied man in Southport to report n their presence. Along with ^ is father and sometimes another rother, Maxie gets up at around i in the morning, goes out to the a reeks and sets his nets for fish, v "he nets are taken out at about I unrlae and the ducks have grown *" "00'in+Atv.ar? fn fiv<?phmen r U avvuoivmvu iu v?.v ......? hat they never bother about I hem. This is easily understood t rom the fact that the fisherlen never carry gruns. t * * * j \VhRe over at Fort Caswell .unday we noticed one of the r ewt.v arrived gobs busily engag- t d at the task of cleaning a s Ishing rod and reel. This leads s to entertain the susptrfon that a rhen the new residents of this j rca pet fufly accliinated. good f ishing stories from over aeross he bay will become quite com- j aon. j * * We had a note this week from torris Ackerman, president em- ' ritus of the OWAA. He is now * own at Seabring, Fla., with Rex leach. He just wrote to advise v e had sent a good story on-s] iouthfBnt to the Cleveland t Ohio)" Press, for which he has een writing columns for the past j 0 years. His son, Bill Ackerman, j 1 outdoor editor of that paper nd will send on a copy with the j tory. y * * * C. L. Nash, of Golds born, was iroudly showing us a two-andne-half pound gray trout Satirday night. Mr. Nash took the r rout with rod and reel while ishing from the bank of Wakien ^reek. With his brother, L. M. Cash, of Kinston, he was down lere visiting his sister, Mrs. ieorge R. Galloway. The two put j' n a bit of their time fishing. * ? Mr. and Mrs. Arthur S. Mowry, of Salisbury, and their two ons, Arthur, Jr., and Billy Mowry, spent part of the past week lere, nunimg ana nsmng. ?uuui he first thing Mrs. Mowery isked us was, had we seen the >ig picture that Bob Wilson had n last Sunday's Washington rimes-Herald? This led to our , >eing informed that the Mowery amily had been seeing something ibout Southport in 4he Timesierald every week. * * * The local menhaden boats spent ast week fishing off Morehead nty, a rather usual procedure at -his time of the year when the Wg schools of menhaden are novlng up the coast to work on Km advancing fish as they near ore in their movement southsard. ? * This week we had a letter from Ernest J. Carlson, of Reading, Pa. Mr. Carlson wanted to know if live shrimp could be procured itere in quantity during the winter months. We had to advise dim the shrimp were alive when taken, but we did not know of any method of getting them to Reading or any other point without their kicking the bucket en route. * * We have been hoping for the past three years that the owners of Long Beach would sec their way dear to constructing a fishing pfcr at the resort. After being there, several time the past week with visitors from the north the hope has grown materially stronger. The beach has some wonderful fishing, but it Is just a Utfle too far out for casting from shore. If a pier was built thefe ft would attract thousands of sportsmen. At any other place than Southport, br else way down south below us ,the problem of writing a fishing column in the whiter months is just about as attractive as owning a prise bird dog in the summer time. There just ain't much to stimulate interest 1L0T, SOUTHPORT, N. C. Personals _ '' Miss Wilma Barnett, student at | S. C. T.

In 1916 it was Preparedness; in 1941, National Defense. But now the scale is i bigger, the pace is faster. There was pressure on.the telephone business then.The pressure is infinitely greater now. New training camps; new aviation fields; new munition plants; new shipyards and many other defense industries, all need telephones. Everyone is moving faster... and, when a nation hurries, it does so by telephone. Southern Bell spent about $4,600,000 on new construe- . tion in 1916. It is spending over $51,000,000 in 1941. The entire Southern Bell organization serving nine Southern states, is giving "first call" to Defense.

I - NOT EXflC If Southport ever becomes a thriving metropolis we hope that his company will make Clyde Dyson, obliging bread truck driver, manager of the local branch. Clyde never asks: "When are you all going to get something down here?" He wants to know "When do you reckon WE are going to get something down here"? . . . According ito early reports from the bird hunters, the dogs stood the lay-off better than their masters. No bag limits were broken the first two days. Just about everybody thought the Don Grimes dance Thanksgiving night was mighty good. The jitterbugs made merry until somebody tipped Don off that most of the sponsors who had made the dance possible were over thirty. From then on out the tunes were on the sweet side. The important thing, though, is that the band can play 'em either way?and good . . .
