Over sixty-five pounds of

were mostly giaheads, and ac- ,
cording to Jim Ferger, of the ,

a pound, a good weight for
perch.
The Price hoys were only
out for the perch, and got them. >
Their catch numbered sixty- i

priate Ceremony
GIFT TO HOSPITAL 01
IN HIS MEMORY
Presentation Made By Wil- Th
bur R. Dosher, Accept- T
ance Made By L. T.
Yaskell, Board
Chairman
In an impressive ceremony on '
Sunday afternoon at J. Arthur mi
Dosher Memorial Hospital an oil Bo
painting of the man whose name me
that institution bears was unveiled'
A gift of Dr. W. S. Dosher and
other friends of the late Dr. J. 30,
Arthur Dosher, the painting will se(
occupy a prominent place in the ,
lobby of the hospital. r0
The program attending the pre- ke:
sentation was presided over by <
L. T. Yaskell, chairman of the an
board of trustees of the hospital. Co
Following invocation by Rev. R. cai
S. Harrison, Wilbur R. Dosher, ni!
Wilmington postmaster, was introduced,
and he made the pre- by
sentation. jjjj
"We are here to perpetuate a ,
memory and to commemorate a M1
life that was sacrificed to keep re(
others alive," said Mr. Dosher. re<
He recalled that one of the out- '
standing characteristics of the re<
man whose memory was being as
honored was his indifference to cej
fame and fortune.
nei
"He had no selfish personal
ambitions," recalled the speaker,
"but wanted only those things
that would better enable him to p
serve his fellow men. After per- j ^
forming miracles of surgery un
cicr me moti onirjuu uuiiuumuo,
the realization of one of his
greatest ambitions was the erection
of this hospital which now Ini
bears his name.
"The life of Dr. Arthur Dosher
exemplified simplicity, and since
the best way to serve God is to
serve man, then the life of ser- '
vice rendered by the man we now ?
honor was the greatest possible ^
service he could render to our wa
Creator. am
"It is a fine compliment that Er
this gift has been made possible dei
through the efforts of a young 1
man who knew Dr. Arthur Dosh- or*
T
er as a citizen of this commun- '
ad*
Ity and as a member of the med- wh'
ical profession." cei
Acceptance was made by Mr. ioe
JTaskell as chairman of the hos- cei
pital board, and Mrs. C. Ed Tay- off
lor, chairman of the Hospital
Auxiliary, also made a few graci- a'"

Jobs
By REV. C. L. ALLIGOOD
America knows scouting as a
program of interesting, useful
things for boys to do in their leisure
time. These boys learn the
mysteries of woodcraft, of first
aid. swimming and life saving, of
outdoor cooking and camping, of
signaling, map making, hiking
and citizenship.
In this latter category these
Southport boys of troop number
"35" have done much to make
their city and community conscious
of the obligataions of good
citizenship. Conscious of the fact
that a good city must be an attractive
place in which to live,
they have joined hands with the
local garden club and have asked
the residents to clean up their
yards and pay better attenticm to
their flowers. They have Als?
joined in with the war effort by
making a thorough canvass of the
city in search of scrap iron and
scrap rubber which is being converted
into planes and ships s and
tires, so that our men at' the
battle fronts will not be found
wanting in the necessary tools so
vital in modern warfare. A local
memoer of the American Legion
holds regular drills on Friday
evenings so that these boys may
have sdme knowledge and , discipline
to meet whatever eventuality
or crisis that my arise. In
short, these young men are; responding
to the call of youth, and
they will *ot b* found in want -J,
when their government calls them
I to service, whether that service
be in peace or war.
Like the Red Cross, the 'Boy
Scouts of America is chartered
directly by Congress and the
President of the United States
is its honorary president.
The scoutmasters are picked,
trained local men, who havej had
experience in training boys. They
