CATHOLIC INFORMATION
Confessions Of A StuDid Man
I read the Bible frequently be
cause ray Church urges me to do
so and because I like to do so.
Yet withall my reading I cannot
learn, from the inspired words
alone, exactly how God means me
to worship and to live in order
to save my soul. But maybe that's
l?cause I'm just a stupid man.
Some people claim that the
Scriptures contain all of God's
fjuths which are made clear to
the individual by the Holy Ghost.
But this is all beyond my under
standing, for why then is there
so much conflict about texts so
vital that salvation itself depends
upon them? And, being a stupid
man. I want to be very, very sure
about such things.
Scholars there are who claim to
have studied the Bible so long
that they have finally reached
the conclusion that the sacred
r~ ds are not sacred? that there
no God? or that at least it
does not matter much one way
or the other.
I'm rather glad to be dubbed a
stupid man, for then you see no
one expects me to solve the com
plexities and seeming contradic
tions of hihinal ? no on? nslfs
me to decide which of the dis
agreeing religious leaders is right
or wrong or nearly right or most
ly right or mostly wrong ? no one
asks my opinion of the atheistic
scientist who, in order to rout out
the religious dogma of a creative
God, must first' rout out the
scientific dogma of a first cause.
Yes, I am of simple mind, and
so it satisfies me to believe that
Christ, who is God, builded a
Church, as He, Himself, stated ?
that He left the Will of His
Father with this Church which,
under the direction of the Holy
Ghost, was to safeguard His
Truths for all ages, teach them
to the world in all their complete
ness, and interpret them so de
finitely that they might be acted
upon with certainty by any man.
Simple ? ' Divinely simple! Stu
pid?' Some will claim so! But
then God knows how stupid all
men are. That's way, I think. He
made His way so simple, clear,
and logical to men who know
that they are stupid.
If it's anything Catholic, ask a
Catholic!

Southport Drops
| Opening Contest
Locals Drop 19 To 0 Decision
To Visiting Chadbourn
Eleven Friday Afternoon
In Well-Played Game
SOUTHPORT? Coach Ken Mc
Leod's Purple Panthers of Chad
bourn High won a 19 to 0 de
cision over a big, scrappy South
port eleven here Friday in the
first grid contest ever played in
Brunswick County.
A large crowd of spectators
was on hand for the county's first
regulation pigskin event.
The local crew of Coach H. T.
Sanders showed signs of excellent
tutoring to be playing, their first
game. They never penetrated
within the 30-yard line of the
Panthers, offensively, but did a
fine job of all-around defensive
work against the Chadbourn club.
Though they looked green, as they
looked green, as any novice ag
gregation would, the Southporter
showed promise of becoming a
powerful club once they have ex
perience under their belts. '
It was a cleanly played, hard
fought game. i
The initial Panther touchdown'
came in the first quarter, with I
Dickie Turlington going over from '
the 6-yard line after a sustained |
drivs from the midfield stripe. |
Frank Andrews went 7 yards to'
the hometown 43, Pat Bass went ]
9 yards off-tackle to the 34, then ;
Turlington moved 3 yards to the
31, Bass and Tommy Lewis cash-|
ed in with 10-yard runs, carrying
the pigskin to the 11, Andrews j
made 5 over guard, and Turling- '
ton went over right-tackle for the
TD. Tommy Lewis' placement was!
no good.
No score was made in the 2nd
period with play being about even j
between the competitors. Midway
the third quarter, Pat Bass tallied
Chadbourn's second counter on a
35-yard ramble around his own
left end. A pass play for the
point was broken up.
Tommy Lewis got the final
Panther six-pointer, in the 4th
stanza, on a center plunge from
the one-yard line, and a quarter
back-sneak by Pat Bass produced
the Columbus Countians' ' only
PAT of the day.
Total offensive earnings for the
Panthers' labors totaled 310
yards; with 266 of them being!
gained on the ground and 44 in!
the air.

New Building
For Shallotte
Construction Began This
We^k On Kings Electrical
Sales Company Building
Work started this week on the
40 x 80 foot building that will be
the home of the Kings Electrical
Sales' Company at' Shailottie. The
structure wrfl have a 'brick and
plate glass front' and concrete
block sides and rear. Mr. Kravitz
stated Saturday that it should
be ready for occupancy by the
first of December.
The Kings Electrical Sales Com
pany was established at Shallotte
four years ago by a young New
York man, following his discharge
from the army. Stationed in
Brunswick county during the ear
ly part of the war he had married
a Brunswick girl and had de
cided that the county offered him
just as good opportunities as New
York did.
His father had founded a Kings
Electrical Sales Company in New
York before he was born. He and
his brothers were operating the
business when the war came along
and the brothers are still running
the Kings Electrical Sales Com
pany in New York. The store at
Shallotte just naturally got the
same name.
The business started in a small
room in the Williamson Motor
Company building. From there it
moved to a larger and better
suited structure owned' by Dr.
Rosebaum. The lease on this build
ing still has until February to
run and instead of renewing it
was decided that hereafter Kings
Electrical Sales will operate in
its own building.
Many Farmers
Have Pastures
County Agent Estimates
Over One Thousand Ac
re# Now Planted For Use
As Permanent Pastures In
Brunswick
Over a thousand acres in Bruns
wick county are now well estab
lished as permanent pastures, ac
cording to County Agent A. S.
Knowles. The area runs' from one
to several acres per farm and the
number of farmers who are sowing
pastures is steadily increasing.
The largest permanent pasture
acreage in the county, not includ
ed in the above, is that of the
Reigel Paper Company on its
ranch at Honey Hill in Wacca
raaw township and in portions of
Town Creek township. The com
pany is said to have considerably
over a hundred acres well es
tablished in permanent pasture.
This furnishes year-round grazing
for the large herd of Brahman
cattle owned by the company.
Mr. Knowles says that there
is a fast growing list of indi
vidual farmers whose names are
being inscribed on a roll of honor
at the AAA office at Supply.
This list is far from complete and
new names are being added al-j

Danger Of Screw
Worms Subsides
Return of Cool Weather Will
Turn Back Blow Flies
Which Migrate Up Coast
To Cause Trouble
Only a few livestock are re
ported to have been lost in Bruns
wick from the visitation of screw
worms and the danger of loss
gTOWs less daily, according to
County Agent A. S. Knowles.
The screw worm eggs, are laid
by a blowfly that resembles an
ordinary blowfly, with the ex
ception that the body is longer.
These flies migrate from Florida
and cannot survive the winter
climate here. It is only following
a very mild and early spring
that they can be expected to
reach this area, even during the
late summer or fall. People who
have made a study of the flies

say that it may be years oeio?c
they again reach this section in
a noticeable number.
The worms attack hogs, cattle
and all manner of animals that
have suffered bruises or scratches.
Such effected animals easily re
spond to the proper treatment.
This year's visitation of the flies,
says Mr. Knowles, has been met
with generously distributed in
formation on how to kill the
worms, this information going by
press, radio and word of mouth.
There are now few people who
do not know, what to do when
they have an animal attacted by
screw worms. The situation is
one that no longer causes much
worry.
