- The Staie Poi I Piloi Southport, IN. C. i Published livery Wednesday JAMES M. HARPER, JR Editor lOn Leave of Absence, In IT. S. N. R.) Entered as second-class matter April 20. 1023. at the Prist Office at Southport. N. C? under- the, Art of March S. 1S70 SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR SIX MONTHS THREE MONTHS Wednesday, January 1. 1 9-16 i Farm Federation During December an effort was put forth in Brunswick to enlist farmers and business men in the Farm Federa tion. Coming at the end of the year, troubled by bad weather and the fact that the minds of many were on tiie Victory Bond and other drives, the ef fort was not as successful as it might have been. According to available information, I only about a hundred members were , secured in Brunswick county. In the neighboring county of Columbus thir teen <v fourteen hundred farmers and business men joined. The Farm Federation is a national organization with thousands of mem bers in -16 of the IS states. Its object is to see that farming shares alike with labor and industry in getting its share of income. The strength and power that it has already gained is such as to justi fy the belief that it will be able to do a world of good among the farmers and among the business men, who pro fit on all sides by successful farming. Undismayed by the limited number of members secured for the Federation in this county in December, the offi cials of the Brunswick county organiza tion are starting out the new year by continuing the drive, if hard work will do it. they believe that the end of ?January will find them with several times the number of members that they now have. $1.50 : 1 .00 .75 i School Troubles During the war school patrons in Brunswick were very considerate and made ample allow ante for the trans portation problems that confronted the school authorities. Ful! allowance was* made for the inability to set new buses or to keep old ones in repair. It was not an unusual occurance for students living at a distance from school to be ready, and then fail to go because no conveyance came for them. Often, too, they were very late in get ting back home, due to bus trouble. During the war such things were looked upon as one of tiie unavoidable results of the times. But the war is now over. School ! transportation difficulties in this coun ty are apparently much worse than they were at any time during the war. During the last month we have been ' approached perhaps a dozen times by school patrons, of Southport and other schools, who complained bitterly of children being prepared for school and having to wait by the roadside for the bus that didn't come. The New Year? 1946 Now, as the New Year dawns, is a fitting time in which to assess the past to assay the future. The year just past has been a cruci- j bie for all of us, searching our hearts ; and tempering our resolves. We. as a people, learned to know the dread weight of many burdensome days . . . Of' Arnheim ! . . . Okinawa! . . . hvo Jima! Fearful days in a thousand bloody, memorable places! Bui we who lived in 1915 have also known the glory of Peace . . . Peace in Europe . . . and then in the Pacific and i throughout the world! This year is at its close. Our hopes have turned to 1916. What fate awaits us there in those still uncharted month:, that lay ahead? Some things we know . . . We know that in the midst of peace we will be fighting to preserve it. Not with guns iMid bullets! Not with planes and tanks! But with swords that have been beaten into plowshares, spears that iinve bercmc priming Hooks. In 1946 the fight is for prosperity, j To win th>s fina' buttle there hp i full production in factories, in the har vests taken from the soil, in the top quality pulpwood cut from our forests. Ours is not a great industrial city. But t'ie,e are good jobs to be had on farm: ^??d t'uste arc gcsa jet: in ! woods and mills nearby. By pulling together and working to- J gether we can win through to prosper ity in 1046. And if we do, we shall all have the IIAPPY NEW YEAR that we so sincerely wish to every one of our renders. Marshall And China Greatest task of General George C. Marshall in China is to dissipate the mutual distrust long existing between Central Government authorities and the Chinese Communists. Indications so far are that both sides are willing to give General Marshall every coopera- 1 tion in settling the Chinese civil war. Each faction, however, fears that it , wijl weaken its own long-range position if it grants concessions at the present time. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek wants the Communist army placed un der Central Government control before other are discussed. Communist leaders feel that such a move would not enable them to negotiate on an equal basis, j General Marshall has been instructed j to use American influence to bring j about a reorganization of the Chinese I government on a democratic basis. Latest information from Chungking | indicates that General Marshall under- ! stands the situation perfectly. He is de- j \oting all his efforts right now toward | convincing both sides that an immedi- j ate halt to hostilities is necessary be fore work car begin on a plan for per manent agreement. . Alcohol And Crime It would be to the advantage of every individual to read and heed the warning as expressed by Edgar Hoover that was reproduced in a letter written by G. C. Graham to the editor of the Durham (N.C) Herald. The subject was: The growing wave of crime in America. During recent years, the crime wave has assumed abnormal pro portions, and, among other things, Mr. Hoover contends that alcohol is the di rect cause of 75 per cent of all crimes committed. During this season of accidents, crime, and general unrestraint, it be hooves all of us who lay claim to some degree of intelligence to set an exam ple in the community. It is our duty as responsible citizens to so conduct our selves that the example we set will serve as a guide and restraining influ ence, that the young and less experien ced among us may profit thereby. "Liquor," stated Mr. Hoover further, "is enemy number one of mankind. It is the cancer of society." There is am ple justification for the conclusion, reached, and, during this season, as at all times, sane leadership and strength of character are attributes that should be cultivated and practiced. Looking forward to the next genera tion, what can we hope for in the way of character and progress unless we of the present generation set the proper example for their guidance. We need self-control and self-restraint ? the or ganization of constructive literary and social clubs ? organizations that will tend to elevate rather than demoralize. During this age in which we are living, far too many of us have the wrong con ception of recreating. Our activities in this respect could more aptly be term ed "wreckreating." By that we mean, burning the candle at both ends, sitting up late at night, imbibing too freely, and attempting to do a day's work afterward. The result is seen on every hand ? death at an early age or brok en and wasted lives. If we are to develop strong men and Women, men and women who are pre pared culturally, physically, and moral ly to assume positions of leadership, there must be a revamping of our social program. Complaining about proscrip tion. ostracism, and discrimination will serve no useful end unless we develop the necessary qualifications to demand consideration. Progress and material success come as a result of progressive thinking and honest purpose. ? C. C. Spaulding, President North Carolina Mutual Life Ins. Co., Durham, N. C. When people get the idea that sin means only one thing, it is because that particular sin seems most interest ing. It looked like a typographical error at first glance. But possibly the report er wrote it that way, and coined one of the best phrases to come out of the Pearl Harbor investigation. He said the sessions were closed promptly at 4 p. m. each day, even if the witness "is in the midst of a sentence." ' frlAjwF. WiN i ?

He finished his brothers term and was relected, serving until September 8, 1039, when he resigned to begin the practice of law. He had pnicticcd two years when he was called to active service with the Army. Following hi.? graduation from! college, Mintz was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the In fantry Reserve. He was promoted lo First Lieutenant on Dec. 3, ! 1934. Successive promotions! came during the war and he was sent home from oversea! with the rank of Major. At the beginning: of the war Major Mintz was stationed at Camp Davis; at the Jackson Army. Air Base, Jackson. Miss.; Columbia Army Air Base, Col umbia, S. C.: Walterboro Army Air Base. Walterboro, S. C., and then overseas to England and France. He spent 22 months over seas. Following Germany's surrender, I Major Mintz and his outfit were scheduled to go to the Pacific. With the Japanese war over he was placed on an inactive status several weeks later. So for as is. known at the pre sent time Major Mintz is the only service ma.i who is definite ly committed to offer as a candi date in the 1946 election. FINDLAY WRITES ABOUT FISHING IN FRESH WATERS (Continued from page I) ] interest in these lakes. This au- j thority was granted me in order to provide this year round fish I ing privilege in any lakes which were not opened by the original regulation a:id in which the peo ple owning these lakes or con trolling them desired to have this same privilege. I might add here that anyone owning a private pond already has authority to fish In that pond at any time of the year if he so desires. "To further clarify this situa tion I would like to state that the thirty-three lakes that were opened to year round fishing are all of the large publicly owned bodies of water to which we were certain the TVA research find ings would apply. I am sure that you can understand it would be impossible for us to list all of the additional privately controlled ! smaller lakes in this State which can be opened under the Board regualtion, particularly in view of the fact that some of the owners | of these lakes might not want j them opened.

Among other things, the re turn of Mr. Hardee to Southport may point to the erection of a I freezer plant for shrimp and fish at Southport and the handling of such products under the Har dee lable. In former days J. H. Bennett, a fine citizen living between Thomasboro and Hickman's Cross Roads, was a frequent visitor to Southport. With a keen public interest in things, he liked to get around and find out what was going on among his friends, who were always glad to see him. We had not sfen Mr. Bennett in over a year until a few days ago when he came to town with his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lacy Ben nett.
