Considerable Interest
According to Register of Deed
R. I. Mintz there appears to b
plenty of interest in Smith Is
land, better known as Bald Heat
since it has become known tha
this bit of North Carolina tropic
has passed into the hands o
Brunswick county.
The property was bid in b;
the county when sold recent
ly to satisfy a judgment fo
$4,900.00 back taxes. Previous ta:
adjustments against the propert;
will bring the total up to aroun
$7,500.00, according to Rcgiste
of Deeds Mintz, who says tha
the island will be sold to th
party or parties making the mos
attractive offer.
Referring to the bill introduce
during the last session of th
North Carolina legislature, J. ?
Holmes, state forester, wrote las
week to the chairman of th
board of county commissioner
and expressed the "hope that
plan may be worked out not onl;
for the permanent dedication o
Raid Head island to the publu
but for its eventual developmen
as a recreation and scenic area.
The state forester assured th
co-operation of his department i:
any worthwhile attempt to de
velop the island.

Trim, graceful cruisers ;
and other types of yachts
ranging to palatial houseboats
coming in each day for
the overnight stop at Southport
are adding very much
interest to the waterfront.
Members of the Civic Club
contact them all. They are
full of friendliness and good
will to the club and town at
large. Many of them have
already heard that Southport ,
expects to have a yacht basin
and this fact is evoking a

appreciation. The boatmen

of a basin here is a
very forward step and that
it will mean much to them.
