- The State Port Pilot Southport, N. G. Published Every Wednesday JAMES M. HARPER, JR Editor (On Leave of Absence, In U. S. N. R.) Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, at the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR $1.50 SIX MONTHS 1.00 THREE MONTHS 75 Wednesday, August 9, 1944 An Anniversary Of Achievement Just a year ago this week American newspapers launched the Victory Pulpwood Campaign in response to an appeal from Donald M. Nelson, chairman Of the War Production Board. ? At that time the pulpwood production picture was drab indeed. The nation's pulpwood supply has been steadily dwindling since the fall of 1942, yhile military and essential civilian heeds for paper and other pulpwood products had been as steadily rising. * AUU?.,~U nrv-i nrn-Qnmr 1C TiCit VPt. ! muiuu^u UlC *K> uv<r ?past, we are happy to report that real progress has been made during the fwelve months that The State Port Pilot and other newspapers in pulpwood areas have been supporting this war Campaign. The trend in pulpwood production has been reversed. Receipts this year are consistently better than last year and in some months on a par with 1942 when pulpwood production reached its highest peaks. However, pulpwood inventories all but disappeared during the lean months of 1943 and military requirements for paper and other pulpwood products have exceeded earlier Government estimates. We are not yet out of the woods? literally or figuratively. In fact, WPB * officials report that the victory tempo of our military services has increased the demands for pulpwood?now a war material of the highest priority. As a pulpwood-producing area, this county and our neighboring counties can be proud of our achievements during the past year. Without the aid of MfA AAIll/1 n nf VlQVO maHo V/Ul lailUClO) ?> C V.VU1U IIVI/ V IMWMV such progress. But, like our boys in uniform, we're not celebrating yet but rather digging in for the rest of 1944 or until the war is won. Mr. Nelson, you can count on this community to cut its share of the needed 16,000,000 cords this year. Schools Will Be Late Because of the widespread epideoiic of infantile paralysis it was recommended last week that schools in all counties where the disease prevails postpone their opening until all danger is passed. This seems to be the sensible course to take. If it is possible to prevent it, our boys and girls should not be exposed to a disease that may kill or leave marks that a lifetime cannot erase. It may upset the program to open the schools late but that is unim portant compared to the fact that it may save some boy or girl from suffering or death. So far, no cases of the disease have been reported in Brunswick. As matters now stand it is assumed that the schools will open on the original date, August 31st. However, should the disease develop in the county, there should be no hesitation on the part of school authorities to postpone the opening. As a matter of fact, regardless of the fact that we have no cases of the disease, steps should be taken to prevent the assembling of children in in crowds during the next few weeks. Toilers Now Reaping With the opening of the bright leaf tobacco markets on Tuesday, farmers in South Carolina and southern North Carolina are beginning to receive the reward for a year of the hardest labor that has ever fallen their lot. Many a farm boy and girl, irrespective of color, who never worked before on the farms, has toiled unceasingly on the farms this year. With them have been many adult women who never worked in the fields and at the tobacco barns before because there was no need. Toiling harder than ever before, too, have been the men unsuited for military service. It has been a year when everybody on ^.he farms worked. Along with the cash4hat is now coming in from the greatest money crop t of this section, the farm folks are also undoubtedly deriving a lot of satisfaction from the knowledge that they did not fail the men who are in the armed service. They have worked as they never worked before and have carried on on the home front . In Der Fuhrers Face That Hitler has reached a point where he now must accept a rebuff lying down is evident in the case of Turkey's diplomatic break with the Nazis. The most that Hitler has been able to do about it at this writing is to warn Turkey of the consequences of such an act. It does not appear at present likely that those consequences will be more than a verbal lashing from a Germany which once was able to punish violently for such conduct. What else can Hitler do when his armies are being mauled about with deadly blows south, east and west? What else can he do when his air force has been decimated to the point of practical impotence? What else can he do when Allied ships ply their way almost unchallenged along the highways of the J ~~~~ 9 uueaiis <tnu scctd ; If he couldn't react except verbally , when Portugal gi-anted the Allies submarine bases in the Azores, now when he is much weaker is an unlikely time for him to send his bombers over Turkey to bring that fighting little nation into the maelstrom of war. What appears more likely than Hitler's declaration of war against Turkey is that his desperation will cause him to unloose every weapon at his disposal against Russia, Great Britain and the United States. It has been the pressure of these governments which has brought about a diplomatic break between Turkey and Germany and well does Hitler know that. Now that they have driven this additional dagger into Nazi Germany, a desperate Hitler, as Drew Pearson says, may follow the robot bomb with "gas, bacteriological warfare and other fiendish Hitler tortures." Never has any government been placed in a more uneviablg position than are the Nazis at this moment. Both the East Wall and the West Wall are falling in upon them. From above them pour endless tons of destruction. When a lion is cornered he shoots the works in a final desperate' effort to lunge his way out. Hitler may do likewise and bring down with him civilization. Help Save A Life The circus fire tragedy at Hartford, Conn., is unusual in only one respect? it caused the death of an unusual number of people in one fire. And yet death was no more definite for each of those victims than it is for the individual who perishes in a farmhouse, or for one or two or three children who meet death in home fires almost every day. Because some 150 people meet death from a single fire in Hartford, the tragedy is given page headlines across the nation. But when 10,000 people burn up annually by ones and twos, you never see the fact blazoned to the world in large type. Circus or night club tragedies, and most other fires, could be prevented if each individual appointed himself a committee of one to see that every time he lit a match, smoked a cigarette or had anything to do with any appliance that caused heat, it was out or properly safeguarded, when he left it. Our 10,000-a-year fire death toll could be largely eliminated if we would all learn a lesson from the fiarttora disaster and be individually careful. Shortage Or Plenty Government agencies have conducted consumer surveys which bear out the general belief that at the end of the war American consumers will be in the market for every luxury and necessity in the book. Alarm clocks and garbage cans, carpet sweepers and teakettles, lawn mowers and frying pans are but a few of the common articles needed. And it is predicted that demand for. refrigerators, automobiles, new homes and even yachts will be insatiable. If these surveys prove correct, the next job will be to fill the demand. Whether that can be done will depend upon the ability of American manufacturers and retailers to produce the goods and distribute them at prices the people can pay. War wages and material costs must be met and overcome, if possible, by unprecedented operating efficiency. THE STATE PO Old Storm* Are Recalled A* Recent One Reviewed (Continued rrom rage 1) time was 70 miles per hour and a combination of the wind blowing inshore and tide coming in at the mouth of the river brought them in. No lives were lost in this storm, despite the great damjage to sailing vessels. Hie Coast Guard effected many hazardous rescues. Again in October of the same I year, just two months after the above storm, a gale resulted in the wind registering 75 miles per hour. In this storm the Weather Bureau station was blown away. Several vessels were wrecked but, I again, no lives were lost. Again in 1898, says Captain!. Brinkman, a storm visited this j section and the wind registered 1 100 miles per hour at Fort Caswell. Ashore at a wind gauge at the Garrison building the wind registered 106 miles per hour. In this storm the steamer Wilmington came down the river, loaded with passengers and freight. The storm reached its height just before her arrival here and she had to put about and return to Wilmington where better protection was afforded by the narrow sheltered river. The tug, Blanche, which Is still owned and operated in Wilmington, was dashed ashore with her bow reaching to the little street bridge at the USO building. At the same time the little steamer Southport struck the end of the old Pavillion. A number of vessels were lost in this gale but no lives were lost. Just a year later, in September, 1899, a 75 mile an hour gale wrecked a number of sailing vessels in the harbor and along the coast. In those days practically all vessels were sailing craft and when storms struck the coast the Coast Guard had their hands full rescuing the crews of such vessels. From all information available there has never been a life lost in Southport harbor during a storm. However, in one of the above storms several lives were lost when a ship was wrecked up the Elizabeth River, about midway between the Oak Island Coast Guard station and the new Caswell - Southport highway bridge.
