For Fishermen
Early Appearance Of Big;
Blues Off Coast Has Been
Attracting Sportsmen; In
side Fishing Starting
The outlook for sports fishing'
this year is better than it ever,
has been before during the early
part of May. This applies to the
whole of the Brunswick county
coast, from Flying Pan Shoals
on down to Little River, S. C.
Blue fish put in their appear
ance about three weeks earlier
than they normally do. They are
said to run somewhat larger than!
those of previous years. In addi- j
tion to the blues," the wrecks of j
sunken ships off the coast have
been yielding some fine catches
of trout. These wrecks also yield
up about all sorts of other bot
tom fish.
Both Long Beach and Holden
Beach have easy access to the
mouth of Lockwoods Folly River
and Howell's Point. Howell's
Point is drawing many sports
fishermen on its own and the two
beaches usually send in a lot
more sportsmen to try their luck
in the waterway and river mouth.

CATHOLIC INFORMATION
Dickie, a Buick and the Pope
Suddenly something hit me
from behind and I found myself
sprawled at the far side of the'
J?vement. Sitting up, half dazed,
1 saw out in the gutter an over-,
turned express wagon and the j
grinning and almost gloating vis:j
age of my seven-year-old nep
liew.
"Hello, Uncle!" he shouted. "I
'sure can go some, can't I?"
"Yes," I answered, rising slow
ly and trying out each limb se
parately. "1*11 admit your speed,
"but I'm not a bit convinced of,
your steering ability."
"Oh, I can steer all right,,
when I want to! You ought to [
see me steer the Buick all over
town!"
I scoffed at the boast, but af
' ter dinner we all went out for a
drive and Dickie proved beyond
"tny question his infallibility as a
steerer. Up and down hills,
around curves, in and out of traf
fic we went, Dickie on his fa
ther's lap, steering with accuracy
and full confidence, because he
knew that behind his own little
hands on the wheel were the big,
strong, sure hands of his daddy.
.LP-This little episode is a simple
parallel to the Dogma' of. Papal
Infallibility, which is simply that
the head of the Church of Christ
is preserved' from teaching error
in matters of faith or morals,
due to the special assistance of
the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of
Truth.
The Pope may steer his own
little express wagon with inac
curacy; but when the occasion
arises for him to direct the mo
tor car of God's revealed truths,
the hands of the Holy Ghost are
behind his on the wheel, to make
certain that the faithful are guid
ed unerringly in their beliefs.
From Peter to Pius XII there
have been 262 Popes, no one ol
whom has defined a single dog
ma which conflicted in any way
with the dogmatic definitions of
any other Pope. .
To the Catholic the dogma of
Papal Infallibility is clear, logi
caul, and essential to a Church
founded by God for all men for
all time.
If it's anything Catholic, ask
a Catholic! For further informa

WELFARE DEPT.
Ruth E. Patterson ,
Superintendent Public Welfare
[ Mrs. Jennie Wilson came to
the welfare office to make ap
plication for an old age assistant
grant. We investigated her needs
and income in order to present
the case to the Welfare Board. In
our investigations we talked with
Mrs. Wilson's son, John, with
whom she was living. Mr. Wil
son was not at all interested in
having his mother receive an old
age assistance grant because he
said that he and his brother who
lived close by were able to take
care of her properly without out
side help.
We talked . to Mrs. Wilson
about this, but she wanted us to
continue with the application be
cause she did not want to be a
burden on her sons. She had no
income except what they gave
her, and she felt that she was
too much of a burden on them.
When the case was presented
to the Welfare Board, the appli
cation was rejected because Mrs.
Wilson's two sons were willing
and able to care for her without
our help. When Mrs. Wilson
learned the outcome she was
very much upset. She told us
how John's crops had been bad
this year and how Andy's baby
had been sick. She just disn't
want to ask them for everything
she needed.
We explained to her in case
she was dissatisfied with the de
cision of the local Welfare Board
she had a perfect right to appeal
the case to the State Board of
Allotments and Appeals. We
helped her to sign the proper pa
within three or four hundred
yards of the Holden Beach de
velopment, also offers sportsmen
at that beach a lot in the way
of fine inside fishing.
Shallotte Point, at the mouth
of the Shallotte river, is also
coming right along as an attrac
tive spot for lishermen and the
same can be said of Gause Land
ing, Seaside and Calabash.
A recent trip down that way
revealed the presence of many
parties from points throughout
this and other states. Reports
are that these inside fishing par
ties are not yet making such big
catches. They are, however, get
,pers for such an appeal.
A day was set for a hearing
and everyone who had any in
terest in the case was informed
of the time and place. A repre
sentative from the state office,
together with a stenographer,
came down to hear the evidence
again of how she had no income [
except what her sons gave her.'
1 Her two soils told of how they
owned enough property and had
enough income so that together j
they were able and willing to.

The evidence gathered at this'
I hearing was taken to the State!
Board of Allotments and Appeals1
[where it was carefully studied. It]
i was decided to uphold the first!

i this particular case.
j Even though Mrs. Wilson did
j not get the OAA grant she was
seeking, she felt more satisfied

i application and the appeal. She
showed herself and her sons that
she was trying to help herself as

the appeal she felt that she was
being given every opportunity to
tell her individual problem to the
highest authority. She saw too

UNUSUAL CATCH
Lewis Dorme, of New Bern,
fishing Saturday on the pigfish
grounds in the river and off Fort
Caswell, caught a speckled trout
that was nearly two feet in
length. Local fishermen say they
have no records of speckled trout
being caught in this area and

A DISTINGUISHED RECORD
OF LEADERSHIP
SPEAKS FOR ITSELF TO THE FARMERS
OF NORTH CAROLINA
FORMER GOVERNOR |
J. MELVILLE BROUGHTON
CANDIDATE FOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE
As Governor, Legislator and Public Servant, Former Governor Broughton Took An Active Part in fhe
Accomplishment of These Progressive Measures for the Farrier:
1. Former Governor Broughton Jias been engaged actively in farming for over twenty-five years and is
himself a flue-cured tobacco grower.
2. ^r' Broughton has been active in securing better prices for tobacco. In October, 1943, while he was
Governor when the price for tobacco collapsed, he declared a marketing holiday and kept the mar
kets closed until he was successful in working out plans for better prices and a stabilized market. In
1945 he personally appeared before officials of the Office of Price Administration insisting on an increase
in the ceiling price for tobacco. The increase was granted which meant more than 10 million dollars to
the growers of tobacco. In 1945 he appeared before the proper government agencies insisting that ceil
ing prices and allocations on tobacco be abolished. This was done and meant millions of dollars to the
_ growers.
