Cupit has been here six months as Administrator ' of Dosher Memorial Hospital and feels the hospital is making prog ress. “I would like to let the people know how I feel about the status of their hospital,” he said this week. “The hospital was established for the benefit of the inhabitants of the city of Southport and County Brunswick. Through the years it has carried out its primary purpose by the treatment and care of tiie sick and injured, keeping always In mind quality and not quantity. There have been many changes of personnel and in the appearance of the hospital over the years, but it is firmly es tablished that the hospital has been and is now being supported by both the people of the city and county.

Roosevelt to visit Southport while on a forthcoming Southern tour. The fine fishing here had been held out as one of the big attractions.

Local fishermen were spending their spare time fishing for rock fish off Walden Creek bridge; Powell Crosley, owner of the Cincinnati Reds, had been a visitor here aboard his yacht, Sea Owl; and there was a new column in that issue of The Pilot “Pictured Personalities.” The tenderest hunting scene we ever saw was a front page photo in The Pilot for November 12, 1941. It showed a pretty lady hunter, armed with a shotgun, looking sadly at abuck that had been slain, and she was in the act of patting the poor creature. The caption was “Modern Diana and Her Deer”. Another hunting note was that lay days had been approved for quail hunting in Brunswick that fall. Not Exactly News that week had a fine tribute to Crawford Rourk, paid him by Col. Edgar H.
