Letters To
Editor
Southport, N. C.
December 26, 1960
C-iUi LUI ,
State Port Pilot
Dear Sir:
Referring to the splendid article
by Lt. Col. Duffie carried on page
one December 21st issue of the
State Port Pilot please grant the
courtesy of the same medium
through which to assure Lt. Col.
Duffie that the people of South
port are indeed warmly grateful
for his frank complimentory, stim
ulating appraisal.
He deftly weaves a most de
lightful thread of intimacy and
fellowship into a choice garment
of beauty and appeal. The lure
and fragrance of it will linger on
and on and will endure. Surely
what a “flipperdinger” is you’ll
have to read this week's State
Magazine. They're made a long
way from the waterfront, which
is the only way we could think
of to get from Christmas cards
to nautical notes.
And since the Harpers didn’t
get around to sending a single
Christmas card, here’s wishing
you a very Happy New Year! ...
kind words are the oasis in the
realm of human relations offer
ing gentle healing. How very
vividly Lt. Col. Duffie portrays
hem. I heartily join the people
f Southport and Brunswick
bounty in thanking you warmly,
lolonel Duffie, for your splendid
:ompliment.
Sincerely,
James B. Church

The Christmas cards are still
coming in, these this week run
ning somewhat to men in service.
One from Woodrow Piner, with
a New York APO, wishing us
a Happy New Year.
A card from Charlie Splawn
from Washington, D. C., indicates
that he’s married since we last
heard from him as it’s signed
“and Brenda”. An attractive one,
which we’re sure he picked out
just for us, from Eddie Lindner
is a scene of two hunters shoot
ing quail. There are two pointers
holding staunchly and the back
ground shows a moss covered live
oak. The scene could be Bruns
wick County, though the card
came from Iowa where Eddie’s
in school.
A welcomed card from Florida
is from Capt. Howard Victor and
his “Cadet", which reminded us
of pleasant times in years past.
The card was preceded a few days
before by a birth announcement
from Miami saying that Susan
now has a daughter, Susan Ro
berta.
Quite an unusual card arrived
from the Stanley Souths, a hand
painted one aiong impressionistic
lines. What it represents to us is
the light of the Star shining
over the fields where the shep
herds watched. We didn’t know
archaeologists were artistic, or
could it be the wife?
