The State Port Pilot Published Every Wednesday Soufhpbrt, N. C. JAMES M. HARPER, JR. Editor Bnt.ered aa second-class matter April 20, 1928 at the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR .$1.50 SIX MONTHS . 1.00 rilREE MONTHS .75 Wednesday. February 3, 1954 FOR THE BOOZERS We’ve carried the item before, but a reader of these columns suggests that we print “Poser for the Boozers” again. Anyway, here’s the suggestion: “If you are a married man w^ho ab solutely must drink booze, start a saloon in your own home. Be the only customer and you won’t have to buy a license. Give your wife two dollars to buy a gal lon of whiskey. Remember that there are 69 glasses in a gallon. Buy your drinks froiq your wife. “When the first gallon is gone, your wife will have eight dollars to deposit in the bank, and two dollars to start business again. If you should live ten years, continue to buy booze from her, and then die with snakes in your boots. Your widow will have enough money to bury you respectably, bring up your children, buy a house and lot, marry a decent man, and forget all about you.” The arithmetic in this version is very faulty and so is the amount set aside for buying a gallon. This, however, is beside the point. A home guzzler, using this method, could help his wife accu mulate a sizeable fortune, be less dan gerous to others on the highway, and probably end up in the cemetery just as quickly. ROVING REPORTER (Continued from Page One) selves and their wives here for a all newcomers at their services. The Pirate Log By IRENE HOLDEN And ANNIE RUTH SELLERS Wednesday morning at first per iod found all the high school as sembled in the auditorium for an installation service for the New Beta Club members. The services began by the student body stand ing and singing “Holy, Holy, Holy’’. After this we all repeated together the Twenty-third Psalm. All the old members were on the' stage. A speech was made by Evelyn Register, the president; vice-president, Elizabeth Caison; secretary, Frances Anne Stanley; treasurer, Pauline Holden; Emma Lou Gore, as an old member; and Berniece Hewett, as a new mem ber. After this, all the new mem bers pledged together. Then, one by one, they walked across and received their Beta Club certifi cate and pin, which were given by Mrs. McKeithan. Our girls’ team started the week off right by winning their first victory of the season tn they played Southport last Tues day night. It was really a good game and our girls stayed a few points ahead all through the game. We were very excited when several of our girls on first team fouled out and Southport started gaining on us. But Coach Ragan knew what he was doing when he gave the girls their last in structions because we did win the game by two points. To us, this was just as good as 100 points and we are more than proud of you, Girls. Just keep the good work up and we’ll be right behind you. Oops . . . nearly forgot to tell you that Emma Lou Gore was high scorer for the girls and Shir ley Robinson tallying next to highest. The boys lost their game to Southport, but you just watch out because our boys are going to be ‘‘red hot” before we all have time to realize what is happening. They say that history repeats itself, you know! The Lady Pirates were really on the ball last week and just to prove it to you we'll tell about two more victories they took over. The town team challenged them to a game Thursday night. Without even thinking about win ning, they accepted the game. But we’re afraid some of the for mer students were disappointed because our girls won. The same night, they challenged them to another game on Friday night. Again the girls accepted and again they won the game. Now we hear that they want to play another game and we think it should be worthwhile for anyone interested in basketball to attend. On Thursday night the boys won a game from the Southside Baptist Church of Wilmington. Donald McKeithan racked up 20 points and was very proud as he walked off as high scorer. Then oh Friday night, they played the town team and again they walk ed off with another victory. Keep up the-good work, Boys! WONDER WHY: Kendall Har dee doesn’t like to wear ear bobs ... A number of boys had rather settle down and wear trousers instead of a shirt . . » Some girls hate to wear high heels to school and their hair plaited in 18 pig tails with dif ferent colored ribbons on each one . . . James Varaum has sorta taken a liking to his brown hat after tailing the feathers off it . . . Students laughed a good deal at school Monday . . . The teach ers found it sorta hard to keep order in their room when a new Beta Club member appeared . . . Gee, but we bet you really are wondering now. Here’s why. Mon day was the day set aside to in itiate the new Beta members. And what an initiation they did get. The girls wore high heel shoes with men socks, pan-cake make up, rouge, powder, dark lipstick, their hair plaited in 18 pigtails; some had skirts on wrong side outwards, while others had them on right, and they all wore a man’s shirt wrong side out. The boys wore skirts over their trou sers, with their shirts on back wards, carried a ladies handbag, wore ear bobs, and ladies’ hats. Both the boys and girls carried candy to give the old members, but it seems as if the whole school tried to he Beta’s for to day just to get the candy. It was really hard for the studentbody to keep from laughing at times, so to the teachers, we apologize for our behavior of the day. Then to the new Beta members, we CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF I am a candidate for the Democratic Nomination for Sheriff of Brunswick County, subject to the will of the voters in the Primary Elec tion in May. I am not a member of the Law Enforcement Division of Brunswick County and have not been since September 8, 1953. I resigned from my position as Deputy Sheriff on that date and at that time I had no intention of becoming a candidate for Sheriff of Brunswick County. However, since then I have had many friends from every section of the county urge me to become a candidate for this position, and that is why I am making my announcement. Your vote and influence in my behalf will be greatly appreciated.

Meet BILL DING I’LL PAY A VISIT EVERY WEEK AND THEN MY LITTLE PIECE I’LL SPEAK J Not Exactly Netcs Herbert Johnson saw us out bird hunting the other day and asked if we knew why a quail can not fly high and why a mule cannot bear young. We confessed our ignorance. "Well,” Herbert said, “when Jesus was on earth he was riding along a road one day on a donkey. A covey of quail flew up and frightened his mount, and he was thrown to the ground. Now this made the Lord sort of angry and he said to the mule, ‘Because of this you nor your kind shall ever bear any young’; then he turned to the quail and said ‘and you nor any of your offspring shall ever fly above the treetop.’ ” Herbert admitted that he was not right ly sure that this is in the Bible but he said that he had heard some folks say that they had read it. It was quite appropriate tat the Rev. R. H. Jor dan officiate at the infant baptismal service for little Norwood Meredith Jones here Sunday morn ing, for not only was this young man born in Southport while his father was pastor of Trinity Methodist Church, but the Joneses and the Jordans knew each other when they were in school at High Point College. The two young ministers were fra ternity brothers . . . Another Sampson county man who was back around his old stomping ground last week was J. T. Denning, who took off Friday af ternoon and brought his two bird dogs along for a little outing. "Split Second", with Stephen McNally and Alexis Smith, is the Thursday-Friday feature at the Arau zu. Alexis will be remembered as the beautiful queen of the 1953 Wilmington Azalea Festival . .. With the basketball season entering the home stretch in the county it appears that the Wacca maw boys are the class of the league, as thus far they have not been defeated in league play. The Ice land girls appear to have an edge over Waccamaw in the. battle for supremacy in their division. If you believe in superstition you may as well button up your overcoat for six more weeks of winter weather, for if the groundhog failed to see his shadow Tuesday it was because he was too sleepy . . . We entertained a couple of young teen age newly weds one afternoon this week by per mitting them to browse through some of our bound volumes of The Pilot. They were interested in the contents, and we were just as interested in their comments . . . One of the biggest recent improve ments in Southport is the new tourist court erect ed on the waterfront by Mrs. I. B. Bussells. We saw some of the high school boys playing tennis Sunday afternoon, and that leads us to won der if it might not be a good idea to have a high school tennis team this spring. There are several likely prospects . . . And that reminds us that It won’t be long before the new playground will again be the center of athletic interest.
