Southport Skipper Gets Kick
From Other Fellows Luck

A yacht rescued the men and
returned them 10 Miami. On the
way back, the skipper aboard
the yacht gave strict orders that
none of the men were to have
anything except broth. Capt.
Arnold and his mates couldn't
resist the temptation. They ran
the cook out of the galley and
gorged themselves on every
thing available.
That's what earned us our
trip TO the hospital in Miami. As

Tall and rugged, the skipper

volunteered to make the rescue
attempt. He was credited with

that the total would fall few

1t marked the fourth time in
histroy that this market had pass

The previous high poundagc
record was set in 1916 when
l0,506,248 pounds were sold.
Hampered throughout the sea-
son by short selling time, several
hundred thousands of pounds
that would have ordinarily sold
on the local market were carried
to neighboring towns.
Several oldtimers observed that
the short selling time did moro
for the small markets than any
one: however. there were no COM
plants heard from local ware
house officials. They were heavy
with their praise for the farmers
who sold tobacco in Tabor CITY.
''We would like to thank every
farmer who sold tobacco in Tabor

could have eXerted any more eff

He summed up fishing with
his remark that "the fish don't
bite when you want them to

He places little emphasis or
the shippers part but those who
have experienced the jaunt know
that the difference between \
successful day and a boat ride
depends on the shippers know

Born and raised in Southport
Captain Arnold comes from a
scattering family. His father and

brothers and each has had his
day at the helm.

Music Critic Saws
Jazz Shows SIGNS
Of Becoming
RESPECTABLE

Whitney Ballet, music critic for
the New Yorker magazine and the
Saturday Review Of Literature had
this to say during his visit to CHS
Radios "Disk Derby as host Fred
Robbins Honor Roll Guest.
AT the ripe old age Of 10, jazz
is suddenly becoming as respect
able as church. For ten years its
been filling the Carnegie Halls Of
the nation. For at least five years
it's been taught in college. And in
the past year or 50, it's begun
to sprout in New England-of all
places in the form of open-air
festivals. Two festivals have al
ready been held in Newport, Rhode
Island. Another series Of concerts
is in progress right now near
Tanglewood, that August summer
pasture of the Boston Symphony.
And month ago, Louis Armstrong
played for two nights in Ipswich,
Mass, to q cautious tremble Of old
Bostonians.
ITO date, the two Newport Festi-
walls have been the most energetic
celebrations of this kind, having
dispensed about 80 hours of good
and bad jazz to some 10000 people.
Because of their success, in fact, it
is conceivable that there will soon
be more jazz festivals than jazz
musicians.
Nevertheless, these festivals are

Throughout all this, however,
Miss Brewer had her eye on that

which ordinarily would be doomed
