SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR $1.50 SIX MONTHS 1.00 THREE MONTHS 75 Wednesday, December 12, 1915 } ear-Round Fishing John D. Findley, State Commissioner of Inland Fishing, has announced that 1 thirty-three North Carolina lakes are now open to year-round fishing. None of the year-round open places are in - Brunswick. Local sportsmen who like to engage in freshwater fishing will I have to lay off next April for -10 days, ; a time when freshwater fishing is at ; its best. Quoting Mr. Findley: "Research in; dicates that year-round hook and line a i. 4 1-,^ fioii cunnlv in Iisnnig cannuu iim^u mc -most impounded waters. Due to the I rapid rate of growth of fish in southl ern waters many bass reach maturity and die without being caugiit. Bass are inclined to take a plug best during the spawning season, although the fish actually spawning will not bite at all. Sportsmen miss their best fishing during the closed season." The above being true, no reason is seen by this paper for most of the lakes throughout the state being closed for 10 days, while others are open to hook and line fishing. Here in Brunswick the fishing is just getting good when the closed season comes on. When the 10 days closed period is over there is little worthwhile fishing because of the fact that the waters are full of young spawn upon which the adult fish feed. In addition, the spring season is so far advanced that mosquitoes and other insect pests make it an ordeal to venture on any of the streams or lakes. If one wished to be fair to the sportsmen throughout the state it would not be oat of place to declare an open seasou lor fishing with hook and line in all lakes of the state. Our Brunswick Coast After the war ended it was not expected that the full tide of tourist travel southward would get underway for a year or two. All the same, they say that everywhere in Florida tourists who traveled by car and trailer and by yacht are gathered by the thousands. They are paying unheard of prices for any sort of accommodations and for many of them accommodations are out of the question. Florida is already about as congested as Washington was during war times. Next year hundreds of northern and ; eastern yacht owners will eagerly welcome any opportunity that presents itself, permitting them to go to southern I wfeters without running into congested I centers. The coa. t of Brunswick county, from I Little Biver to Southport will be mis. ah .1 l\irr Knt if if rlr?o<c not im Olllg UUV \>il ?v '/i j.; uvv iL ?v vtvrvt; ?? mediately begin to work on the idea of safe winter dockage for yachts and 1 hotel accommodations for the water! way travelers. Calabash, Seaside, Shallottelnlet, Lockwoods Folly Inlet and South port all have possibilities. If any of these places find it absolutely impossible to do anything of a physically constructive nature at this time they I can still do constructive work by showI ing the waterway travelers hospitality and friendliness at every possible opportunity. Compulsory A (tendance During the war welfare officoals, upon whom rests the burden of seeing ; that compulsory school attendance I laws are enforced, had to be lax in seeing that many young boys and girls were kept in school. The plea that they were needed to work was listened to, and rightly during the all-out-to-win J days. The war has now been won. Sensibly minded young men and women are turning eagerly back to the books and gaining an education while they still have time. Many others, not so sensibly minded, are now neither attending school nor engaged in any worthwhile ; effort. f i * fc.: THE STATE PORT PILOT, !

Canadian Skipper Deplores Lack of Yacht Facilities (Continued From Page One) his boat was about to leave and he had little time, to write Mr. Keziah a letter relative to the' trip and conditions. This the' Captain, who is a Canadian, read- j ily agreed to do, mailing his let-j tcr at Georgetown when the Jomar II docked there. The letter was as follows: "Dear Bill: "As I promised you, here is a small item, relative to our trip, and the views of a seafarer. If you think it worthy of printing i in the paper you are quite wel-1 come to make any use you like1 of it. "As I told you, we are one: ship of a convoy of 19 ships that left Elizabeth City on Saturday,; December 1st. Previous to that time six others had been in company with us and they fell behind. The Jomar II, on which I am, sailed from Niagara Falls, Ontario, a little over three weeks ago and joined the convoy at New York. "All the way down the coast we were treated very kindly and it seemed that the further south we got the greater the hospitality. At every place we stopped we found adequate supplies of fuel, oil, gas, groceries, etc. There was one place that was an exception. Before we reached Southport we were warned that owing to the limited docking facilities j and the great number of shrimp boats it would be almost impos-1 sible for us to tie up at South-' port. A number of the boats inj the convoy heeded this warning I and stopped at Wrightsville, while others came on. On our arrival here we found the warnings were true. Other yachts ahead of us 4 It is becoming increasingly evident that enforcing the compulsory school attendance law will again become an i -;tj the welfare officials. Apparently, the sooner such actions bej gin the better it will be for all con! cerned. There seem to be a great many j young people of this county who have not been in school this fall and who j should be found there when school re! opens after Christmas. Returned Servicemen ?????? Since the day the war in the Pacific j ended some one has bobbed up daily with the inquiry: "What will our boys ' d when they get back ?" Up to the present time over 275 men j in this county have had their discharges recorded at the office of the Regis1 ter of Deeds. Since this is purely a I safety measure and there are no orders , ; and no law requiring such recording, it I is safe to say that between 50 and 100 j more men than those shown by the recorded papers are also at home. From the beginning the only possible answer to the question was to wait and see. The Final answer had to come ! from the boys. Enough are back home now and have been out of their G. 1. clothing ; long enough to show what they will do. |, i Most of them are right back where I they left off, on farms, in stores, garages, and what have you. A goodly : number of them are entering business 1 for themselves or getting better jobs than they formerly held, where such is i possible. A number are in college, finishing the education that was inter; rupted. Another group is doing nothing much, just looking around in an effort to determine what is best for tnem to do. [ One thing1 is certain, very few of them are not losing any time in getting back to normal living. Time For A Show-Down In a recent letter to Representative Gore, Democrat, of Tennessee, Bernard M. Baruch gave the people of the United States sound advice and warned labor and management to settle their differences or face government intervention. He recommended an inventory of the resources of our nation so we might have "an over-all picture of the balance sheet of the countrq." He also urged an examination of our productive capacity "to see that I enough of what is produced remains i in the United States to avoid disastrous : inflation, and then how much to allo! cate for the rehabilitation of Europe, China, the Philippines. "Unless this dividingis done wisely, we will sink and the whole world will go down with us. We should direct our aid to foreign countries by giving priority to those who need the most and ! who will use it to help set themselves j on their feet. "If we promise loans to foreigners, the money will be useless if they cannot buy the goods from our production here. "Such demands will further inflation temporarily because they aggravate de! mands here. There is no use giving foreigners credit (or our citizens greater buying power through increased wages and decreased taxes) unless we are willing to establish priorities which will ration our production where we want it to go until production increases. "We must be careful when we give j aid to other countries, that this aid is not used to nationalize their industries against us, to destroy our own competitive system which, I think, should be | preserved. England, Czechoslovak^ I Prance and other countries arc nation] alizing or about to nationalize their industries. Russia has totalized herself? one buyer and one seller?and is total: izing all countries coming under her I aetris." I w This week, al Mitchel Field, N. Y., ' General H. 11. Arnold, General Carl Spaatz, and Lt. General James Doolitlle of (he Air Forces went to bat for the young officers and men who are being demobilized?in an effort to sell (hem back into private life under the most favorable conditions. It has been the contention of the Air Forces that, up to now, fewer than 5 ! percent of all veterans get adequate counselling on their return to civilian life. The Mitchel Field conference was an effort to get more intelligent handling of veterans in every American community. and particularly to get across the point that a man who can run an office should not be used to sweep the floor, or to vun ds. and not a part of our convoy had J taken up every available mooring and there was nothing for us to do but go out in the canal and anchor for the night. "Now, to my mind, the absence of dockage at Southport results | in a great loss to your com- j munity. It is very bad advertis-; ing in addition to taking money j away from your merchants. When J you consider that the average j touring yacht spends about ?15.00 or more at each stopping place j for supplies, not including oil and 1 gas, then multiply this by the number of yachts and you have a transient trade possibly greater) in one day than all of the local tiude for a week. "Something ought to be done about the present conditions right j now. Since travel restrictions [ are lifted this inland waterway j will be filled with people going up and down the coast. We will certainly get a large party to j come down from our own yacht' club in Toronto, Canada, next year and I guess that hundreds of other boats will come from other portions of Canada. They tell us that the yachts arc already tied up 10 dccy in the slips at Miami and if you had basin and docking facilities here there is i no reason why many boats from the north should not stop here for the entire winter, instead of going on to Florida, where the worst fll Hr JP HHf Mm BKm M3k B m K ?
