VOL : , I APRIL 10.. 1941 NO. 19 NEWSPAPERS CAN SERVE * a newspaper can occasionally do harm with the careless reporting of news, or the irresponsible advocacy ot causes ot doubtful value, in many cases it can do a great deal of good. One recent instance, which has been widely praised, and has received favorable comment in many quar ters, is this newspaper’s reference to the importance of the fishermen weighing every shipment of fish they send out, and keeping a record of the weights, to check against the account of 3ales that come with returns. All good honest dealers prefer to do business in a busi nesslike manner. But there are dealers who shortweight the fishermen of three to five pounds on a box of fish. When shad are selling a.t 50 cents a pound, and fishermen lose on several shipments, the loss runs into a goodly sum during the run of a season. Some fly-by-night dealers make a lot of money in this manner, at the expense of our hardworking fishermen. They occasionally bait the fishermen by offering a cent or two more on the pound, than prices paid by old reliable dealers, who for many years, have loaned money to the fishermen. This inducement that a few fishermen fall for, is offset by the chiseling on weights. Hence it can easily be seen, that the fisherman who weighs his fish can have a ready check on returns, and he will usually find that he gets more money from the old reliable dealer, who serves him year after year, in good season, and bad, and who lends him money, and often makes donations to community enterprises. Another matter the fishermen should take more to heart: There have been many instances where fishermen pledged to ship their fish to a dealer who has loaned them money to finance their work, send their shipments in the name of a child, or in the name of some practically non-existent partnership. In this manner, the dealer is unable to deduct the payments promised him. This is a practice entirely unworthy of those who pretend to be good citizens. More over, it works against the best interests of the honest fish erman. and the industry generally. In order to build up the fishing industry, much attention should be given to correcting these abuses. Now when thje industry is ailing, is the time to give it good medicine. Let’s stick by the good dealers. This newspaper will help you in this and other worthy causes. A newspaper can help. BROUGHTON TALKS SQUARELY Credit is due Governor J. M. Broughton for his Jackson Day dinner speech in Raleigh in which he said labor racket eers will be given no quarter in North Carolina. We need more of this talk in the nation, and we need action to follow it. Too long has this nation catered to wops, kikes, social ists. and communists, and God knows what‘else who have gained control of organisations and are robbing the work ers, to their great loss and at the expense of the nation. Led by gangsters, racketeers and money grabbers general ly many laboring groups are striking for unreasonable wages to come out of the. pockets of the public and be paid out on defense projects. These same crooks are willing to permit other and better citizens to be forced into compul sory military service at a dollar a day. Unless this Govern ment takes a hand and controls such unpatriotic labor and drives from these shores their despicable leaders, it is not worthy the name of Government, and will most certainly fall and not be long doing it. When Government isn t big enough to protect all its citizens it is a failure. Many such leaders would serve thq country better if lined up before a firing squad. AMERICA USUALLY TRIMMED Not only with labor, but it is an old American custom to take a trimming particularly when it comes to dealing wit foreign nations. In nearly every contract made with them, many of them for the protection wholly of the other fel low, “Uncle Sam has come out at the little end of the horn. Witness the Spanish-Amencan war when what this coun try took it also paid for in cash. In the world war, with exception, the many nations that borrowed our monev neglected to pay it back, but could afford to spend v^rLms g on Ornaments. Unde Sam wins all the ware he goes into by the sheer force and weight of his resources, pays more dearly for them than anyone else. OTHER EDITORS PROPER FOOD CURES DISEASE What you eat and the quantity thereof probably measures the length of your life. The importance of diet in the well-being of individuals has been increasingly recognized in recent decades although one easilj won ders why, for so many years, no one seems to have undertaken a real study of the fuel content ot the human body. There are wise people who be lieve that, given a proper diet, the individual would avoid disease. 31 course, proper diet, spread over several generations would be neces sary because of physical weak nesses that are transmitted. Doctors have learned that lacK of certain substances in food are rerponsible for some of our ills. discovery may be made about other scourges that inflict suffering aH death upon human beings. ________ LEGALIZED DOODLING? Perhans it is the beginning of a trend. In West Orarifce; New’ Jer sey, a telenhone booth has been lined with blackboards and equip ped with chalk. For doodlers it now has all the comforts of a res taurant tablecloth. Doodling, a some doodlers may not know, though many who doodle do, is something that the Pharaohs seem to have encouraged—if one can judge by the hieroglyphs on pyra mid walls—as an honorable pro fession; but its practice nowadays has become surreptitious. It has been driven underground, onto subway walls; or corners Hkte telephone booths- Host people doodle in solitude. But a few still enjoy scratching a pad >wjth a pencil while listening to lec tures, or waiting for trains. They | only ask that no curious or criti-; cal eye may watch the progress of j the elaborate designs-upon-designs; that their uninhabited surrealist fancies conceive. The doodlers who doodle on scratch pads have always been j above reproach but now it seems even the doodler who is inclined to j mar walls, chairs, tables, menus, | napkins, or anything else he can. get a pencil on, is looked upon as,j if not forgivable, at least inevit-. able. That seems to be the mean-1 ing of the blackboarded booth. I Possibly the thought behind such j conveniences is that if you give a | man enough rope he will hang himself, and if you give a doodler ( enough space he will get himself so involved in those never-ending, ever-curving, quite unnerving lines of his that one doodle will last him a lifetime.—Christian science Mon itor. lots of dodging A medical scientist hopes to do ( something to bring about longer, life. He will be satisfied with' about 125 years. It seems that it’s a question of arteries and he’s go ing to do something with or to them to keep them young. But something would have to be i done about all that leisure. If one! should retire at 65 and begin his pension he would have about. 60 years of solid loafing to do, going around worrying people. That would be simply too much spare time. . ... Beside, while the scientist might be able to do something about ar teries* he couldn’t do anything at all with traffic accidents. As the arteries improve, the death toll on street and highways increases.— Shelby Daily Star. MAYBE RECALCITRANT SENATORS CAUSED IT North Carolina Got Mighty Small Proportion of Federal Ex penditures Some think that because our Senators were at loggerheads with President Roosevelt during most of his administration, we got over looked in the distribution of Fed eral relief expenditures, so that North Carolina got a mighty small part. Others think maybe the money went into doubtful states, and to buy off Republican states, inasmuch as the South is solidly Democratic, but this is dis counted by South Carolina and Florida having gotten nearly twice as much per capita. j We don’t know the answer, but ! the following editorial from Carl i Goerch’s State Magazine is inter esting at this time: j North Carolina and Relief Per capital expenditures by the federal government for relief and relief work in North Carolina for the period from April 8, 1935, when funds became available under the Emergency Relief Appropriation I Act, through 1940 were the lowest tin the nation. | We doubt that many of our read jers knew this. So far as we our selves are concerned, we were in i complete ignorance of it. j But it’s a fact, and here are the figures to prove it: Dist. of Columbia $361.74 Montana 251.26 |New Mexico 157.82 Washington 134.73 New Y'ork 116.91 i Illinois 108.36 California 101.31 West Virginia 98.37 Florida 89.40 South Carolina 80.76 Tennessee 59.45 I North Carolina 48.46 j Those are just a few states, pick jed at random. The national aver age for relief expenditures per capita in the country is $102.28. I You’ll notice that the expenditure : in North Carolina is less than half that amount. Altogether there are twenty- I eight states which get more than ■ twice as much as North Carolina ' does. There are ten states that get more than three times as much. ! When we say “relief expendi tures,” we include many agencies, among them being Works Projects Administration, Public Works Ad ministration, Civilian Conservation Corps, National Youth Administra tion, Department of Agriculture, Farm Security Administration, and so on. There are two conclusions to draw from these extremely inter esting figures. One is that North i Carolina is in better shape than any other state in the union; the other is that North Carolina hasn’t been receiving her rightful share of funds. Frankly, we do not know which conclusion is correct, hut regard less of that, it would appear that North Carolina is having to sup port its sister states to a greater ! extent than does any other state jin the union. I And the reason we’re calling this to your attention is not in the way of comnlaint, but merely to let you know the position which North i Carolina occupies in connection I with the financial stat us of the nation. i It’s worth paying a little extra i just for the privilege of living and doing business in North Carolina. j GAMBLING ON THE TIDE (Statesville Landmark) ! The New York Daily Times, | heartily approving Senator Iley jnolds’ stand against the lease-lend [bill, reminds that “Senator Rey nolds does not come up for re-el ec ition untill 1944, and it is surmised jhe thinks that by 1944. the senti ! ment of the people will have chang ed; that those who now think we should be a Sir Galahad and St. George combined, slaying the dragon without getting hurt our -1 selves, will have a different outlook on war and intervention.” j Senator Reynolds may be right. | Ninety per cent of his constituents i could be wrong, of course, but it {will be just too bad for the Sena | tor if he is no lighter than when he scrambled out of Europe to avoid j the war which he solemnly prophe sied wouldn’t eventuate. | We wouldn’t say that the voters of North Carolina would crucify i Senator Reynolds at the polls simp ly because of his stand on the lend lease bill. We are a tolerant lot and can forgive a lot of things if convinced of the honesty and sin cerity of conclusions that run coun ter £o those of a majority of us. But when the voters are called to dump all of their objections on the scales and weigh them against the I merits of their Senator, it’s liable ! to play the dickens with any ambi tiofrf Senatbr Reynolds may have to succeed himself. Senator Reynolds admits that public reaction in North Carolina to his stand on the lease-lend bill iat first was quite unfavorable but ! contends that “Sentiment in North Carolina and throughout the nation is changing rapidly,” and that this shift in indicated in the mail he re ceives from his constituents in North Carolina. According to his tabulation, sentiment is split 50-50 in this State. Which will be news indeed to most of us. If fifty per cent of the people of North Carolina are willing to string along with Senator Reynolds on this issue, then we need to be bond tor tb* hollow horn. THE TYRRELL TRIBUNE | improved | SUNDAY | International I SCHOOL LESSON By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.i S. S. Lesson for April 13 i j Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by Internationa' i Council of Religious Education; used By i permission. CHRIST SHOWS HIMSELF ALIVE j LESSON TEXT—Luke 24:13 17, 25 35. GOLDEN TEXT—I am he that liveth and was dead; and, behold. I am alive for evermore.—Revelation 1:18. Certainty and assurance these are at the heart of our observance of Easter. We declare with Paul. “Now is Christ risen from the dead” (I Cor. F5:20), and that He is “de dared to be file Son of God with power . . . by the resurrection from the dead” (Rom. 1:4). We would join the apostles who “with great power gave .?./. .'.witness of the res urrection of the-Lord Jesus” (Acts 4:33). ‘ Someone m,ay say, "That’s well enough for you who have faith in God, but I’m bewildered, uncertain, fearful, in a disordered world. Whal shall I do?” Come with us as, in our lesson, we join two men who had become bewildered, who felt that all their- hopes had been crushed, that the future was only to be feared. We join them as they walk wearily along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. Suddenly there is Another with the little group. Let us listed to their conversation. First we find I. Holden Eyes and Slow Hearts (vv. 13-17, 25, 26). The two sad men who had left I Jerusalem to go to Emmaus were 1 disciples of our Lord who had just been ihrough the crushing experi ence of seeing Him crucified. Now, as the jeering mob held triumphant sway in the city, they left the dead Christ (as they supposed) in the \ tomb and went their way. True, there had beenjsome reports on the morning of the third day that the women had seen Jesus alive (vv. 23, 24), but their hope and faith was at such low ebb that they could not —or did not—believe. Even when Jesus appeared to walk with them and question them, they did not know Him. Eyes closed by unbelief; faith hin dered by doubt and fear; a despond ent heart slow to believe God—how very effectively these shut out the blessing of God and of His Word, even to the believer. Even deeper is the darkness in which the un believer finds ) imself.- But all is not lost, tharc is v here who can open unseeing eyes and warm cold hearts —even Jesus. 11. Burning Hearts and Opened Eyes (vv. 26-32). Although they did not realize it (how slow we are to appreciate our blessings!) until after He was gone (v. 32), their hearts began to burn within them as soon as He began to expound the Scriptures to them. What a Bible exposition that was as Christ Himself opened all that the Scriptures taught concerning Him! Bible teachers have talked about, and it makes one’S heart burn just to read their suggestions (see for ex ample Morgan on Luke, page 278) Little wonder that these men were “strangely warmed’’ as they lis tened. The way to have a burning heart is to read God’s Word or to have it expounded by a Spirit-rilled teacher or preacher. Especially is there blessing in reading and studying what the sacred Book teaches about our blessed Lord. With the heart “strangely warmed,” as John Wesley described his Aldersgate experience, comes the opened eye. “They knew him” (v. 31) in the breaking of the bread. Perhaps they saw the scar in Kis hand, or possibly they identified a familiar gesture or something in His voice; but until their hearts were warmed they did not see. Paul knew that truth when he declared: “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (I Cor. 2:14). Some reader who has trouble be lieving in the resurrection will find the problem solved when he meets Christ and has his heart changed in regeneration. What follows? 111. Quickened Feet and Glad Tes timony (vv. 33-35). The seven miles (sixty furlongs, v. 13) which had passed so slowly were now quickly retraced. They had glorious good news to bring to the disciples at Jerusalem. How swift are the leet of the one who has good tidings to bear (see Rom. .10:15). One wonders why so many professed Cnristians are so slow about carrying His message. Can it be that they do not yet know the risen Christ? For if we know Him, surely “we do not well” to keep silent in a day of good tidings (II Kings 7:9). Note in verse 34 that before they could speak, the others gave them the good news of the resurrection. It is proper and delightful that be lievers share spiritual blessings (Rom. 1:11, 12). That’s why we come together in, God’s house. Brother in the Lord, Christian sis ter, how long is it since you had a new and stirring experience of the presence of Christ? Not necessarily spectacular or exciting, but a real spiritual experience. Let’s ; a*k Him for It! CHURCH PROGRAM BAPTIST REV. WALTON B.

PRESTON CAYTON, Pastor. INCUBATORS TAKE OVER JOB OF “SETTING HEN” The old “setting hen” is being put out of business by artificial methods of incubation. Commer cial and semi-commercial poultry men now depend almost entirely on incubators as a source of baby chicks. i In recognition of this trend, the N. C. State College extension ser vice has published a circular (No. 249) entitled “Incubation.” It de scribes both natural and artificial methods of incubation, and points out the advantages of artificial in cubation from the standpoint of disease and narasite control, and mass production. A copy of the circular may be obtained free upon request to the Agricultural Editor, N. C. State College, Raleigh. County farm and home agents also will have supplies of this publication. The text for the circular was pre pared by Prof. R. S. Dearstyne, head of the State College poultry department, and C. F. Parrish, T. T. Brown and C. J. Maupin, exten sion poultry specialists. The 12- page publication is well-illus- f trated. In discussing the adv*ntages of j the two methods of incubation, the State College poultrymen wrote: “While much has been said, pro j and con, about replacing stock by the use of setting hens, there has not as yet been developed an arti ficial incubator that will hatch a! higher percent of fertile eggs than the hen. “However, the chief disadvan tages of this system lie, first in the fact that broody hens are not al* \ ways available at the time they are desired; second, large numbers of eggs cannot usually be set at the' same time; and third, the possi bility of lice spreading from the SHARKS CREATE NEW INDUSTRY ON WEST COAST War Brings Large Demand For Sharks; Formerly Worthless (From The Fishing Gazette) A new industry has sprung up on the Pacific Coast almost ove rsight. Fishermen who, just a few days ago, threw away the small “ground sharks” that intruded into their catches of salmon, albacore, rock cod and flounders, now save the sharks and eliminate the fish. $200.00 a ton is the reason. This thriving shark business has taken the Pacific fleets by storm. From Crescent City to Fort Bragg, • in California, the docks are receiv ing Blue Fin, Soup Fin and Cow Sharks by the ton, and their over i size livers are selling for SI.OO a I pound. j Sharks have long been the curse !of legitimate sea-going business. ,But now there is a pay-off. It is lno uncommon sight to witness a fisherman pocket from $2,000 to $4,000 on his catch. It is small pickings indeed when only a ton or so are brought in. One young man in Fort Bragg, broke, borrow ed a boat, then bought it in a ! week, and by the end of the mouth had cleared SB,OOO. j The Blue Fin and Soup Fin | species run fro.n 35 to 60 pounds ' apiece. The Cow sharks, weighing ! from 200 to 300 pounds, yield very large livers. It is said that the | shark livers grow so big that the other internal organs are crowded , back, until the “killers of the sea” finally die from lack of breathing , space. These denizens of the ocean bot tom are caught from 40 to 160 fathoms down. They are not fight ers, for the great pressure of the ! water apparently takes all the fight out of them as they are brought to the surface. ■ Specimens such as these are caught with regular halibut equip ment. This means that a long , anchored line is dropped from a float, and a similar one is dropped ,100 to 250 yards away. A heavy connecting line, attached near the anchor and known as the “ground line,” is equipped with 5-foot hook lines about every 6-foot interval along its length. These use shark hooks, the Twelve-0 size, larger than the customary halibut hooks. Sole or sardines are used for bait, and on this “skate” or gear, the “ground sharks” are caught. At the dock, the catch is de livered to the fish company, weigh ed in and the livers quickly re moved. They are placed in cold sto age or are immediate]y iced down and trucked to market. San Francisco is the headquarters for receiving the shark livers, and here the East Bay Fisheries, the Cali fornia Packers, Consolidated Fish eries, Incorporated, A. Paladini, Incorporated, and the San Fran cisco International Fish Company receive the catches. Sharks caught in Oregon waters are usually land ed at Eureka, California, then trucked south from there. Shark livers are now highly de sirable for two purposes. One of them is the remarkably fine oil the livers yield, unsurpass ed for lubrication uses. It is stat ed upon good authority that the i United States Government is buy- hen to the young chicks.’ The publication puts stress on the use of suitable eggs for hatch ing purposes.
