Office At Franklin Park Motor Court SOUTHPORT, N. C. Letter To Editor Editor, State Port Pilot, Southport, N. C. Dear Editor: Oysters, unfortunately, have been dragged into the Brunswick County political arena. This is as tragic as it would be, or is, to make a political football of our public schools. Intelligent men and women know there is something wrong when a once-thriving industry, a wonderful and vast natural re source. falls to the sorry state that has over-taken our opsters. Even young men who try to make a living on the water have seen oysters decline stea.dily in value and qantity under existing legis lation—until there is virtually no oyster business left. To spread the false alarm that thieving high-bniders are platting to take oyster grounds out of the public domain is fantastic. It is FOR HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES The campaign draws to a close, and win, lose or draw, | have en joyed every minute of it. It has been a privilage and a pleasure to travel into every section of Bruns wick County, to meet and talk to so many of my fellow citizens in their home community and to be come better acquainted with our vast natural resources, which are not limited to any one section of Brunswick County. Your Representative can do much to help bring about greater devel opment, so when you vote Satur day be sure that you are helping to elect the man who can and will do the most to induce industry and new business to move to Brunswick. JAMES C. BOWMAN (TUNE IN WMFD-TV FRIDAY NIGHT AT 8:10 O’CLOCK. worse than fantastic; it is sinful thus to play upon the credulous ignorance of men and women who hope desperately to enjoy their stake in a vast natural resource. Nobody wants to take this en joyment away from them. Nobody but a few politicians have sug gested that a small group of men plan a grand steal of the oyster grounds. Nobody in his right | mind would think Governor Hodges or the Legislature would ! let them get away with it. True, there is a small group : not content to let oysters con-! tinue on their present downward ! path—which is leading fast be- j yond and below nowhere at all. I Surely, they can demand that any j politician who impugns their mo tives come forward with definite, ] specific plans and suggestons. It j is cowardly, and helps none of' us, to cry "Thief! Thief!” and then hide behind vague and mean ingless promises of improvement. This is like saying that things are good enough as they are. Bad as they are, they are bound to grow worse unless present trends are halted and reserved. Politics got oysters where they are. If they are ever to play a part in a prosperous Brunswick County they must be taken out of, and kept out of politics. No can ddiate need tell this writer that he is opposed to a grand steal of the oyster grounds, any more than to tell him that good has certain advantages over evil. It shouldn’t be necessary to re assume a single voter that no body is trying to take over the oyster grounds and hold them as private gardens. Anybody with a grain of intelligence knows this isn’t true—but knows, also, that something needs to be done and the politicians haven’t taken a1 single step to determine what is needed or how to go about get ting it. Anybody dumb enough to think that he needs the protection of an office seeker in this situa tion is probably too dumb to know LISTEN TO James C.
