PAGE 2 THE STATE PORT PILOT Southport, N. C. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY JAMES M. HARPER, JR., Editor toUrad u aecond-clAM matter April 20, 1028, at tfea Foit Office at Southport, N. C? under the act of March 3, 1870. I 1" . I .1 ! I Subscription Rate* ? ONE TEAR $1.60 f (DC MONTHS 1.00 THREE MONTHS .76 NATIONAL 6DITORIAI ; Wednesday, March 10, 1943 1 Beer Business ItX a report last week of legislative doJL ings of the day, we learned that the bill introduced by McLamb of Brunswick governing the sale of beer in this county on Sunday had been killed. w;**This was not necessarily because the legislators were against this particular $ bill, but because provision for this situ| ation had been made in a bill making g sweeping changes in the beer regulations | of our state. Q One of these provides that no beer * -r * i .on ? shall be sold between tne nours 01 h.m ^o'clock each evening and 7 o'clock in the | morning. Another provides that the coun*ty commissioners shall have the power to |prohibit the sale of beer on Sunday. This means that the commissioners now Shave it within their power to accomplish ' their desired purpose. They Mean You THE drive for Red Cross War Funds is nation-wide, and as a result there J tare some mighty fine appeals being made lover the radio networks of our nation. J tSome of the best talent in the land has volunteered to help put over this drive. When you listen to these appeals, remember that they are talking to YOU, not to a man in New York City; not to I somebody in another section of North Carolina; but directly to each man, woman and child who is listening in. If the Red Cross is to be able to perform its job, then it will take the combined support of all of us who are staying at home. Individualism? BY an ironic twist of circumstances, modern war proves beyond argument that individual initiative is the key to victory and progress. <. Captain Eddie Rickenbacker says: "Once you put a boy in a foxhole, he is pn his own. Once you drop a parachute trooper behind the enemy's lines, he is on his own. The youth in the cockpit of a fighter, in a tank, on a commando raid, is always on his own. The 'rugged individualist', as a political symbol, may have few friends, but God help us if we can't recreate him on the battlefield and the gactory floor." The nation that does not Slave rugged individualism on its side will |ose the war. * This stark truth must come as a shock Jo the political sharpshooters who have l>een busy right here in our own country jjcicking the props from under a system hat was founded on the supremacy 01 he individual. Captain Rickenbacker is i product of that system. He fought as a oldier, willing to give his life that the ystenfc might live. He helped to pioneer he automobile and aviation industries. He as time and again taken chances, as a oldier and as a businessman, because he ould envisage a bright future, not just or himself, but for his family and all the ther families of America. The future he has pictured through the ears has not taken its lustre merely from le prospect of comfort and security. Edie Rickenbacker is a typical rugged inividualist. For him there is no future unjss his right to take risks, to think up ew ideas, to do things on his own hook nd reap a fair reward, is safeguarded nd encouraged. The United States was built by men ke Rickenbacker. They came across the lains in ox-drawn wagons, fought Inians, dug in the earth for gold, developed farms. They discovered, invented and produced their way to the higghest standard of living in the world. At the presttit moment, they are the men and women who own, operate and work the coal and metal mines, oil wells, power plants, railroads and factories that are turning but the weapons for other "rugged individualists" on the battlefront, who will win this war. Above all else, this war is being fought to keep the future bright for the descen Jj dants of these millions who believe in 1 themselves as individuals. Those who think and act otherwise are running contrary to the character and tradition of i this country. ! Give Books For The Service Men WE assume that every loyal citizen of the United States wants to do his part in this war, and is fully cognizent i of the tremendous sacrifice which is being made by the boy or man in the armed , services. We know further, that everyone has an inate desire to make the boys at the front as comfortable as possible, whether they be on the rolling, cedar covered hills of Tunisia, the swampy, malaria infested wastes of Guadalcanal, or the treeless , plains of India. There is a tangible method by which , every one of us can contribute to the i entertainment of these men, as well as ^ those who are in training at the hundreds of army camps over the nation. And that is by contributing to the Vic- ' tory Book Campaign. This is a drive to j collect books for the boys at the front < and those at home. An interesting novel, or a popular work ( of a non-fictional author will help some {soldier somewhere pass the hours he has \ 011 his hands more quickly. Engrossed in 1 a good book, he will be a happier soldier, j Don't try to unload the books which 1 you don't want on the soldiers who are , fighting for our freedom and liberty. On 1 the other hand, a book you yourself 1 would like to keep is a good book to give ' to the Victory Book drive. < Turn such books over to your local librarian, and they will be directed into the proper channels so that the service ! men will soon have them. ( . i - - . t Marriage Restrictions In South Carolina Heartening news to the people of North Carolina and Georgia will be | the fact that the South Carolina Assembly is considering marriage laws which practically duplicate those which are in force in this State. South Carolina has been like a strip of fine ham between two slices of black {bread, North Carolina and Georgia rcpreI senting the latter. Couples frustrated at the attempt to secure marriage licenses in this state, had but to drive thirty miles across the line into the Palmetto country to secure the licenses. A dispatch from Columbia described the situation very graphically when it said that "chief opposition to the measure came from counties which border on North Carolina and Georgia where probate judges find a lucrative proposition by marrying couples from those border I states." Only through the cooperation of our sister state of South Carolina can the laws which are now in force in Georgia and North Carolina be fully effective, so it is heartening to see that steps being taken in that direction. Just because a man's a good mixer doesn't mean he is stirred easily. The army and navy are the only places in the world where a surgeon cuts a guy's hair. NOT EXACTLY NEWS When somebody calls for Joe over at the city hall, there's plenty of action. There is Joe Loughlin, delinquent tax collector; Joe Lewis, chief machinist at the power plant; and Joe Spencer, driv er 01 one 01 me cny irucxs . . . ?r. uun juewia, who has just become acquainted with the magic of goat milk, recently told one of his friends that if he'd found out about it in time he didn't believe he ever would have grown old. Iky Cox has about the prettiest litter of setter pups down at his house you ever saw. From almost pure white stock, the pups run largely true to their breeding . . . Down at Shallotte the saddle horse population is still flourishing. They say that Charles Rush has the mostest horse in the leastest hide that has been brought in yet. The ban on pleasure driving hadn't been relaxed two notches before certain of the wrestling faithful were wanting to know about tickets to the bouts at Thalian Hall . . , Brunswick county doesn't run very heavily toward purebred milk cows, but practically all there are in the county are owned by residents on the river road. J. J. Ramaeur at I The Oaks has some fine Holsteins; at Orton Plantation there are some registered Jerkies that came from the herd at State College; and at Magnolia dairy there are registered Jersies from the test farm at Willard and two or three purebred Holsteins. Already one or two devotees of freshwater fishing have wanted to know whether going out for food of this type would be considered pleasure driving. Well, baaed on any results we ever had, it would be strictly that . . . The Fredere's have ' moved to town, and the old CCC Camp is about to be activated once more. - >T. SOUTHPORT, N.
