'y TH 4-P Basketball i Star News impionship THIS SHALLOTTE GIRL HAD POISE It takes a lot of poise for a girl to be able to shake hands with Governor Clyde R. Hoey with one hand, while in the other she holds a slipper heel that just pulled off. But that's what happened last Wednesday to a young lady who ealled with other members of the Shallotte high sehool senior elass at the State Capitol. The group of Brunswick eounty boys and girls was on a tour to points of interest in Raleigh. Already they had visited several places of Interest. In walking from one plaee to the next, one of the girls had her high slipper heel wedged in a large crack. The heel chose that inopportune time to part eompany with the sole of her shoe. Rather than report the accident to the leader of the party, the girl picked up the heel and followed along on tip-toe. Soon after the visit to the en v,-r nn r's office the trouble was discovered, and there was a quick trip to a nearby shoe repair shop. bounty Council P. - T. A. Meet Held At Lelan( .ocal P.-T. A.

The action of Representative "*S Sentelle came as a complete suri prise to many citizens of Brunswick county, for prior to the first primary campaign he made | the following statement for publication in The State Port Pilot: I "In an interview Tuesday night, 1 Representative Sentelle declared that during the coming primary he will neither oppose or advocate the candidacy of anyone running in the primary for other offices. He further stated that during his term in the legislature he will not introduce any laws affecting the county of " Brunswick without first consulting the county commissioners and other citizens and tax payers; that he would not allow Brunswick county to be included under the provisions of any general or state-wide laws which he deems detrimental to the people of the county, and that he will consult other county officials in cases of doubt. Finally, he stated that he will appoint to membership on the county board of education the ones who, as candidates, receive the majority vote and are properly certified by the county board of elections." The Brunswick county representative defended his action by saying that he was complying with "the demand of the people."
