Achievements Ofr
Civic Club Di
The Southport Civic Club,
now just two months old,
has made many valuable contacts
and has started the
wheels to moving under several
undertakings that promises
to be of much aid to
Southport and Brunswick
county.
Among the things that
may be mentioned is the
Yacht Basin, which is now
assured. This will make
Southport a big stopping
point for yachts and other
craft using the inland waterway.
It will also result in the
city becoming the home port
for many yachts owned by
North Carolina and upper
South Carolina people.
The Yacht Races, scheduled
for August, are expected
to draw several thousand
people here for the greater
part of a week. This promises
to become a big annual
