Stedman, President Of Scottich Bank And Summer Resident Of Long Beach, Praises Soil Con servation Practices LUMBERTON, April 7?John P. Stedman, president of the Scottish Bank, expressed his ap preciation of the high school students who participated in the State-wide contest on conserva tion in an interview here this w#ek. "North Carolina is an agricul tural state, with over one-third of its population directly depend ent upon the land," Stedman said. "We feel taht the boys and girls who took part in the speaking contests on land conservation have contributed much to the program of saving our soil." Erosion is not such a serious problem in this area, Stedman added, but "conservation means more than control of erosion. It means better land use. Much of our land here can't be used at all for cultivation or even for pas ture until it has been drained. So in many places we must start with drainage." He said the full effect of the speaking contests could not be estimated. "Thousands of our school children learned something about conservation of soil and water," he concluded. "And they will spread the word in the 83 counties take part next year." OPEN FORUM A eolomn dedicated to oplnloai of the pnbllc.

Dear Cheerleaders, It may seem a bit irregular to be getting this letter, but the truth is I wanted to tell you per sonally how much I enjoy read ing your columns. I hafe been reading the State Port Pilot regularly each week and I'll frankly admit (though Mr. Harper may not appreciate this) that "High Times" is the most interesting and by far my favorite section of the paper. I would, however, like to make one suggestion. From all reports Richard Brendle is a pretty hot ball player so you could do him no harm by writing a detail ac count of his exploits on the hard wood. A lot of people read The Pilot and if the right person sees it Richard may be on his way to glory. I join with the citizens of Southport in expressing my fond est congratulations for the ex cellent job you are doing of giv ing us up-to-the-minute news of Southport high school. Yours very truly F.
