graduated
from high school this
~ spring, and Carolyn's
mother wants to know wheth-
er it's safe to let a girl of
eighteen 60 500 miles away
to college.
Carolyn, of course, is dying
to go. She has never been
away from home. She has
never been on her own. Jean
is going. Carolyn and Jean
have been schoolmates for
all the four years of ''high."
They have studied and chat
tered and walked to and fro
together since small-girl
days; they have danced with
the same boys at school
dances, and gone to many a
movie with boys and without.
1t would be really cruel, thinks
Carolyn's mother. to refuse to let
the child 60 on into the new expert
ence that means so much to her,
that glamorous world of college of
which she and Jean have been
dreaming for actual years. And
yet
Pitfalls Loom Large.
And yet one hears such disturbing
things about girls who are pushed
out Of the home nest so young, who
have to choose their WI friends. de-
eide which amusements to take and
which ones to refuse, manage allow
ances, guard health, and avoid all
the pitfalls that are always awaiting
the inexperienced. The general con-
sensus Of opinion. thinks Carolyn's
mother. is that college girls are
pretty reckless, and that home train
ing is Don forgotten in the indie
pendence and exhilaration of univer-
sity life.
It's expensive, too. Extremely ex-
pensive. No. Carolyn's parents think
they'll have to say mo-"
But what to offer her in place OF
a prospect so completely alluring?
Carolyn has had a weekend at col
lege. She has e the beautiful
digniied buildings set under the
great trees; she has heard the laugh
ter of the free and happy groups
crossing the lawns and going in and
out of the big doorways; she has sat
in the memorial theater, so fasci-
natingly complete in every detail,
and listened while girls and boys no
older than herself have walked the
boards. Friendships, excitement,
fun, picnics. theatricals, beaus-
summed up, college comprises ev-
erything Carolyn's heart or any 9TH
er girls heart wants, and she pleads
and weeps and promises and argues
pa~ssionately while the matter is in
debate.
"She is so pretty" her mother
writes. "She has always been so
carefully watched! How can we
safeguard her from the danger we
know is there? What is your honest
opinion of co-educational institu.
tons? What do you think are the
chances that she will have the won-
derful time she anticipates, and re-
turn to US happy and satisfied when
she graduates, ready to take up
family and home and smalltown life
again."
Questions Mother Can Answer.
Well, the answer to that is, what
sort of a girl is Carolyn? From what
sort of a home has Carolyn come?
In the everyday tests Of character
how sure Of Carolyn is Carolyn's
mother?
A hundred years ago Carolyn
would have been marrying, at 10,
and perhaps departing, bonneted
and shawled, on the front seat of a
prairie schooner. never to see her
homefolk again. She might have
been stepping into a lifetime Of
misery and disappointment, but she

PIER FISHING IS
OFFERED AT FORT
Excellent Grounds Are Made
Accessible By LOO Foot
Structure

Fishermen along the North Caro-
lima coast for years have consider
ed that bit of water just off Fort
Fisher, dotted with wrecks of an
cient blockade runners, some OF
the most productive water to be
found along this section Of the
coast.
But for the average fishermen
these waters in years past have
been inaccessible, for the only means
of reaching them. was by surfboat,
launched from the strand, and the
uses of a surfboat are necessarily
limited by the condition of weather
and of the surf.
And so a little more than two
years ago a group, recognizing the
need for making these waters avail
able to those who seek the big
fellas in the briny deep, erected a
pier which runs some 900 feet out
into the water and over the wreck
age of one Of the ancient blockade
runners.
This pier, known generally as the
Fort Fisher pier, is said to be the
most steady on Onslow bay. It has
an overall length Of 1,100 feet and
stands II feet above mean low
water. It is 27 feet wide and is
surrounded by a highway bridge
type railing for the safety Of those
who angle from it's deck.
The seaward end of the pier is a
tee which stands over the blockade
runner wreck, where there is 81
feet Of water, and is well beyond
the breaker line.
Here blue fish, trout, drum
sheepshead, trout, Virginia mullet
and many other types of fish may
be caught and the angler has the
added attraction of utter conven-
ience. Pier fishing eliminates the
necessity Of standing waist-deep in
water, as is necessary at times in
surf fishing, and at the same time
allows him to put his line out into
waters that otherwise could be
reached only by boat.
In addition to this the pier fish
ermen need not worry about any
particular type of clothing. Boots
are not needed and waders are
superfluous.
Bait and tackle may be obtained
at the pier, eliminating the neces-
sity of bringing an armful of equip.
ment from home when engaging in
pier fishing.

SURF RIDING IS
THRILLING SPORT
Vacationists Enjoy Riding
Waves Into Shore At
Carolina Beach

The finest surf on the Atlantic
coast" is the boast Of Carolina Beach
and some proof Of the truth of its
claim is found in the thousands of
people who annually spend their va
cations at this popular resort and
indulge in the cooling, healthful and,
at times, exciting pleasure of play
ing amid the curling waves of cool,
refreshing salt water.
There are various techniques for
salt water bathing and for the uni
tiated the following is offered.
One group Of surf bathers, cautious,
(as it is we'll to be when one does
not swim welD stays well into shore,
jumping the waves as they roll in
from sea.
Another group wades out about
neck deep, swimming in the swirling
waters, climbing to the top of the
swells as they mount on their way
to the strand and then slide down
the other side.
ouL IilC 61Oup WLASh SSSo ~ -
greatest thrills and action in the surf
is that group which swims out to
the point where the swells are build
ing up sufficient height to become
breakers.
Here they tread water until they
see the type of swell they like NOV
ing inward. With quick strokes they
swim shoreward, getting their bodies
on a plane. AS the swell rises be.
meath them they push upward and
forward, bringing the curling crest
of water directly beneath their
chests at a line shortly below the
shoulder line.
Here the rush Of curling water con-
tinues to swirl, rushing them for
ward at rapid rate Of speed, their
bodies half in and half out of the
water as they scoot shoreward with
the speed of the inrolling wave.
Any day when the breakers are
piling up to big heights they can be
seen riding the waves, their bodies
half stuck out over the crest of the
wave, their backs arched, arms
straight back by their sides to form
a cup beneath which the waters curl
and swirl, giving them their forward
impetus.
AS the tall roller reaches the up
slant Of the beach it breaks and the
rider drops suddenly, but (if he is
skillfuD remains on plane and con-
tinues to ride the wave shoreward
until there is no wave to ride.
1t is at the point of the drop that
the inexperienced find the greatest
difficulty, for if the body of the
wave rider projects too far forward
of the wave or if he fails to arch his
back sufficiently to keep his body on
a plane, he Immediately is caught
in the swirling waters like clothes
in a washing machine and goes
through spin which is more fright
ening than dangerous.
Out Of the best means of learning
to ride waves is through the use of
a surf board. The board provides the
added buoyancy which is needed at
first to keep the body on plane and
to get the full power of the surging
water as it rolls inward toward the
shore.
But experienced surf bathers have
a word of warning for those who
ride surf boards: Keep out OF
crowds. There are times when even
a surf board gets out of control and
when this occurs in the presence Of
a crowd both the rider and persons
in the crowd may be hurt slightly.

Electric Coop Plans
To Energize Lines Soon

JACKSONVILLE, June 22.-The
Jones-Onslow Electric Membership
cooperative may have all lines in
Jones and Onslow counties energiz-
ed by July l. provided the required
number of stations on the lines are
properly wired. according to Horace
P. Cotton, project superintendent.
Cotton said that at present the
number of stations was not suffi-
cient to warrant energizing all REA
lines, but that he hoped they would
be by July 1.
Wiring contractors are fast fulfill
ing contracts, it was said.
Four more sections were ener-
gized this week: from Sasser's Mill
in Jones county to two miles west
Of Highway IT; from Dan Oxley's
filling station at the intersection OF
Highways IL and Al to Banks store,
Jones county; the main three-phase
line from Banks store to Piney
