Spinal Conditions
By DR. ROGER W. PRICE
Through scientific research and clinical observa
tion chiropractors have learned that slight dis
piacement of vertebrae causes pressure on
nerves, and interferes with vital nerve energy,
resulting in disharmony and dis-ease in the
body.
It takes time for ligaments, muscles, tendons, and disc structures to return
to normal position so that they are able to hold the vertebrae in its cor
rect alignment. In the early stage of health restoration there will be a ten
dency for the vertebrae to return to the old abnormal position. When this
occurs, additional adjustments may be needed before the abnormal spinal
condition is corrected. The longer the spine remains in correct alignment the
more rapailiy the body can restore itself to health.
Modern Chiropractors are trained to locate and correct the adnormalties of
the joints, muscles and nerves.

School Daze
By JUDY GORE
Well, welcome back to WHS!
Here we are, once again, to bring
you the word on happenings at
Waccamaw High School during
the 1961-62 school year.
Be sure to let us in on all of
your activities at the school so we
can get them into "School Daze”
and into The State Port Pilot
and News Reporter.
Things are really buzzing
around here these days, so I
know there must be lots and lots
of things happening.
Everyone felt real good at
Waccamaw. Prior to report card
time, that is. I wonder how many
feel so good, now that they’ve
been passed out ? Oh, why do we
have to have those things, any
way?
All the students here are excit
ed about the State Fair. They are
going to join the thousands of
other N. C. students attending
the Fair, Friday.
We have a football game,
Thursday afternoon. All of you
come out and support our team
when they clash with the Bolivia
Bears. The boys lost to Bolivia
in a non-conference game early
in the year and they’ll be going
all out to beat our old Brunswick
rival in the Border Belt Confer
ence. So, come on out!
The seniors have elected super
latives. They also have their play
books. This play, “Crazy But
Cute”, promises to be a hit.
SEEN AND HEARD AROUND:
Halloween king and queen pos
ters on display . . . Term papers
. . . Sandwiches, cakes, peanuts
on sale everywhere . . .
Biology class going frog-hunt
ing . . . Happy Birthday to Mr.
Sloan! . . . FFA boys and girls

See you next week.—(JG).
High Times
By PATRICIA CASTER And
CHERYL PRICE
Here we are again with the
news of the past weekend a pre
view of coming events.
After many delays the school
newspaper will come out Mon
day. The staff has worked hard
on it and we are anxious to see
the results of their efforts. If
possible, a second edition is plan
ned to come out before Halloween.
We did not have a ball game
this past Friday night. A game
is scheduled this Friday with
Camp Lejeune. It will be played
at Southport.
The cheerleaders have been
working very hard in order to
earn money for their Homecoming
Fund. They plan to sponsor a bon
the annual Teen-ager award,
Christmas baskets for needy fam-'
ilies. and Little League baseball.
Brenda Lee, a native of Lith
onia, Georgia, now resides in
Nashville, Tennessee. Her last six
records have hit the million
mark, and she is an established
singing star although still in her
early teens.
Eddie Hodges, whose 400 per
formances in the Broadway
smash “The Music Man” esta
blished him as one of the bright
young stars, has made only one
record, but that, too, went over
the million mark.
Larkins, who became a favorite
of visitors at last year’s Azalea
Festival, has delayed his trip to
the West coast so that he can
take part in the Police show.
Two performances will be given
at Brogden Hall on Saturday,
October 21. The afternoon show
stars at 2:30 p. m. and the eve
ning show starts at 8 p. m.

receiving instruction from a
selected cadre of cadet officers.
Now formally recognized as a
member of the Corps, the new
fourth classmen will march with
the Corps in weekly dress parades
and other ceremonies.
The preesntation review began
as the upper three classes march
ed onto the parade ground to face
the freshmen. The classes saluted,
and The Citadel Alma Mater was

Russell, the Regimental Comman

are turning- yellow and losing
leaves. What can I do?
There are three possible sug
gestions that may be made to cor
rect this trouble. First, soil
drainage. Camellias do not like
“wet feet.” Secondly, the plants
may have been set too deep in
the soil. This is a common error.
When plants are purchased from
your nurseryman or favorite gar
den supply center, they are al
ways “balled and burlapped.” Dig
a hole larger than the ball, and
set the plants so that the top of
the ball is even with the soil
level. Fill the hole with equal
Art Glasses At
Southport School
Southport High School has re
cently arranged for two art
courses to be taught in connection
with the school. Both these cours
es carry one half unit credit for
high school students and both
courses are open to school chil
dren and adults.
One will be taught by Miss
Hester Donnelly, a director of the
Artists Gallery in Wilmington.
Miss Donnelly's class will be held
in the school on Friday after
noons, from 3:15 until 5 o’clock.
The other course will be taught
by Joe Ryne, local artist, on Sat
urday mornings in his studio
above Arrington’s, from nine un
til 12. Both courses will cover
basic drawing, color, with stu
dents progressing into oils and
water colors. It is hoped that
parents as well as students will
take advantage of this opportuni
ty to develop their talents.
New Art Exhibit
In Public Library
The Southport Art Association
is sponsoring a new show in the
Southport Public Library, which
will hang for approximately one
month. The exhibit comes from
the Artists Gallery in Wilming
ton, featuring work of Gallery
artists from Southeastern North
Carolina.
Featured in this exhibition are
works by Margaret Davis, Etta
Williams, Claude Howell, Ray
Musselwhite, James Kirby, Jack
Berkman, Hester Donnelly, Gil
liam Homstein, C. Dee Woodward
and Ray Sawyer.

volumes of peat and good soil,
firm, and mulch with pine needles.
The third, and most likely
cause, is associated with soil pH.
The camellia likes a soil with a
pH of about 5.5. The only safe
method to determine the pH
range is by a soil test. When
grading around new homes or oth
er buildings, lime and plaster resi
dues are mixed with the soil
which may raise the pH to 7.0
or above. This is too “sweet” for
camellias and azaleas. See your
county agent, vocational agricul
ture teacher or your soil conser
vation man and ask for a soil
sample kit. Full instructions will
be given, on the box, for taking
and mailing the samples.
Sulphur, or a mixture of‘three
parts sulphur and one part of
iron sulphate, may be used to pull
the pH down, but you should
know the proper amount to use or
you may injure the plants. A soil
test is the only safe method.
The pyracanthas are beautiful
in our neighborhood. Plan to
plant one this fall and train it
flat against a wall, or a louver
which screens the carport. This
can be easily done by Espalier
training. Because this plant is
naturally a rather straggly grow
er, some form of training will
give many pretty patterns. It is
best to start with a young plant
so that you can control the effect
you want to produce.
