Dog Yarn Gets
j Out Of Bounds
Hers We Let Gag Story
Break Out Of Its Proper
Place In Rovin' Reporter
Into Straight News Col
umns
Attorney G. Butler Thompson
[of Lumberton is apparently peeV'
| ed at the treatment our Rovin'
Reporter accorded one of his
stories about a bird dog pointing
a quail that was on the inside of
a 10-lb trout, or so he alleged
this week in the following letter
received from him:
"Dear Bill: t
"Since last week's issue of the
State Port Pilot has reached its
numerous subscribers in Lumber
ton and other parts of Robeson
county, several of my friends have
been somewhat incensed over the
fact that you doubted my word
concerning the bird dog pointing
a quail that was on the inside
of a 10-lb trout. Several of these
friends have suggested that I
institute suit against the paper in
the sum of $100,000.00 for de
famation of character.
"Incidently, Congressman F.
Ertle Carlyle was at home over
the week-end. He had read the
story and he stated that despite
what you said he still- had im
plicit faith the quail-fish story.
CATHOLIC INFORMATION
If God Didn't ? Who Did?
"Sonny," mused old man Stone
ax ten "thousand years ago, "do,
you know that if the sun stopped j
shining, or the rain' stopped fall-'
ing, or the soil stopped growing
things, or the animals stopped
breeding, it would be just too
bad for you and me and every
other living creature."
"Righto!" agreed the boy.
"What a break that everything
is as it is!"
"Break, nothing!" retored the
parent. "Such things can't hap
pen by chance. The gods made
them that we might live."
"The gods! How do you know?"
"That's easy, sonny?if the gods
didn't, who did?"
History records that, from the
earliest times every rational be
ing has been by nature and in
tellect a believer in a supreme
being or beings of some kind. To
disavow any Creator would have
been to eliminate a First Cause
and that has never been in accord
With man's intellect. To deny a
personal Maker or Makers whom
man must seek and worship would
have been to choke the desire for
Ctod which He implants in the
mind and heart of every man.
To become a sincere atheist a
man must be wrenched from his
plumb. He must believe in a
great nothingness without any
sound or scientific reason for such
a belief. Or his reason must be
overpowered by the mind of one
whose prestige attracts to him
self blind followers. Or he must
be emotionally drawn to anything
that is ballynooed to relieve the1
world of misery and persecution.
Or finally, having sought for the
truth in false or in complete
religions, he gives up in dismay,
believing that all creeds are
myths, shams, and opates. Thus
he arrives at such unintellectual
and unscientific philosophies as
that the universe always was or
that it created itself?that life
comes from matter?that man is
a mere animal whose destiny is
here and now.
"In the beginning was the
Word," writes St. John, "and the
Word was with God and the
World was God . . . All things
were made by him and without
him was made nothing that was
made" (John 1:1, 3).
This inspired statement is sim
ple, definite, and entirely reason
able, states every believer in God
?and to those who may disagree,
he merely asks: "If God didn't,
who did?"
If it's anything Catholic, ask a
Catholic!

Howell's Point like all the rest,

be having a strong tide ofhome!
building. A small place with ts

that are bound to make it grow
and develop despite the handicap
of not having' a good road.
I Chief of these assets is the
remarkable fine inside
there where the Lockwoods Foly
river empties into the intracoastal
waterway. Convenient to both
Holden Beach and Long Beach,j
the steady increase of summer
and year-round residents at Ho
well's Point is swelled by visitors
of both beaches going over to
enjoy the extra fine fishing.
Adding to the 20 or more re
sidences at Howell's Point, F.R
Fraley of High Point has 3ust
completed a new home. Ken Mc
Lain and Mr. Thompson of Kan
napolis are also building new
homes there. A. D. WhiUey,
sort of head man of the com
munity, reported this week tha
there are expectations of other
homes going up very shortly.
He felt sure it was all true.
"I expect to be back in South-,

I might be persuaded to reduce

Raftery Shows
Here This Week
Road Season For Brunswick
County Organization Gets
Underway With Week At
Southport
Making its annual appearance]
here under the auspices of the|
Southport Volunteer Fire Depart-!
ment, the James M. Raftery
shows are holding forth on the,
local show grounds this week.
The week at Southport is pre
limary to going on the road for
the next seven or eigth months.
During this period the show will
exhibit in a dozen states, re
turning to its winter quarters
near Leland in the late fall.
Owing to the limited area of
the show grounds, not all of the
show can be brought here for
the initial week of the season.
However, it is presenting a much
larger variety of amusements
than it usually brings here for
its first week. Jimmy Raftery,
the genial owner, says that this
year he will have the biggest
and best road show that has ever
provided amusements for this sec
tion of the state. He has a great
collection of rides and other
things to interest the young and
old.

New Plymouth Features:
Beauty - Performance
Safety - Comfort
ON DISPLAY FRIDAY, MARCH 18
Brilliant new styling is combined
with outstanding riding comfort, in
creased roominess, and sweeping
mechanical improvements in the
new line of Plymouth automobiles.
Completely redesigned, the new
Plymouth has a longer wheelbase
for a better ride and more road sta
bility, but less front and rear over
hang for easier parking and garaging.
While the silhouette has been low
.ered and the width decreased, there
is more head and leg room and seats
are wider. Typical of Plymouth's
many refinements is the ignition
starter combination, with which a
turn of the key starts the engine.
The new Plymouths are sleek in
appearance. New rear-end styling
provides a graceful balance with the
. horizontal grille lines which empha- J
size the broadness of the front
Fenders which blend perfectly into
body lines are nevertheless separate
and detachable, thus avoiding sheet
metal panels so costly to repair or
replace.
The new Plymouth line includes
nine distinct automobiles. Special
deluxe and deluxe types are on a
118-inch wheelbase, one inch longer
than last year's. Special deluxe
models are: four-door sedan, club
coupe, convertible club coupe and
station wagon. In the deluxe group
are the four-door sedan and the
club coupe. In addition, Plymouth
will build three deluxe models on a
brand new 111-inch wheelbase, a
two-door sedan, a three-passenger
coupe, and a new body type, the
Suburban.
The 97-horsepower engine has im
proved performance and efficiency
with a new design cylinder head
which increases compression ratio
to 7 to 1. A new chrome plated
compression piston ring reduces
Cylinder wear and provides greater
protection during the break-in per
iod. There are improved oil rings
for greater oil economy, while a
nfewly-designed intake manifold in
duces quicker, smoother engine
warm-up and produces faster throttle
response.
Body styling which produces
greater passenger room without ex
cessive bulk also increases visibility.
V-typc windshields have 37 perccnt
more area and provide excellent
vision without distortion. Wind
shield wipers clear 61.5 perccnt
greater area and the rear window
is 35.4 Bercent larffer. ? ? A
