Hopkins, Works Progress Administrator, Tuesday assured persons on relief that acceptance of temporary .lohs would not prejudice their return to WPA rolls. Hopkins' I attitude was revealed in a letter to all State WPA adminis trators, emphasizing the importance of encouraging relief workers to accept any temporary employment offered them The order apparently was WPA's answer to those critics who have charged that it enI couraged persons to stay on relief instead of accepting I short time employment because it was difficult to get I hack on relief rolls.

Showers during the past week appear to have been just the tonic the young plants needed. Early season reports that blue mould was threatening- to cut short the supply of tobacco plants appear to have been a false alarm, for it is a fact that the acreage has been increased over last year's figures.

The explanation is that the trout and other fish always bit well at high or low tide, best of all at high tide. When the tide is rising or falling they arc little interested in what the sportsmen have to offer in the way of bait. To illustrate what some folks call luck, but which really has very little such clemtn, Postmaster L. T. Yaskell and Captain I. B. Bussell went out yesterday morning. They timed their trip to be at the fishing ground before the high tide. In a short while they landed 51 great speckled beauties. ' At noon a party of nine I I I ST, A Goo 4-PAGES TODAY Mrs. Josephus II Visit Southport 'v>^UA?V^' ? lossible, and it is in his honor hat the reception will be held iaturday evening. A cordial inviation is extended to people of his section to call while the amassador and his wife are guests ere. During the afternoon trips to arious points of interest in the ritint^r orn Koino- n rro n trorl n Brunswick rery Promising FISHING STORIES ATTRACT FISHERMEN An early perusal of their favorite up-state newspaper was sufficient to persuade line Kannapolis and Concord men to come down Tuesday to go fishing at Southport. Looking over their newspaper at six o'clock Tuesday morning, the men spotted a story of big catches of trout that were made here Sunday. Before noon they rolled into town ready to go outside to try their luck. Men making the trip were: H. L. Troutman, Joe Glass, W. C. Graham, B. G. Williford, R. B. Lee, Gene Wren, S. T. Myers, A. W. Holbrook, all of Kannapolis, and E. Johnson Irvin, of Concord. Susy Day For County Nurse )ver Eight Hundred Persons Received Vaccinati r-? t.?i?: j c UI1S I MI l y \j iiui U ft C*C1 And Diphtheria Monday At Various Stops Mrs. Lou H. Smith, Brunswick ounty nurse, and her assistant, Irs. Elizabeth Gilbert, had a usy day out in the county on londay when typhoid fever and iphtheria inoculations were adlinistered more than 800 people. Iver 300 vaccinations were givn at Shallotte alone. The schedule of appointments ras printed last week in The itatc Port Pilot, and this same ound will be followed for the ext two weeks by Mrs. Smith nd her helper. Citizens are warned of the anger of failure to be inoculaed against typhoid fever, and frs. Smith says this is the time f year for vaccinations to be iven. Parents with children beween the age of six months and ix years are urged to have them nmunized against diphtheria. arn To Time ps With The Tide men arrived from Kannapolis and Concord. They went out , and arrived at the fishing ground just after low tide, it was four hours until another flood or high tide. They fished but did not elect to remain for the high tide j late in the afternoon. They returned with one trout. If that party had arrived here early in the morning the odds would have been that they also would have had good luck. The tides vary, sometimes being early and sometimes I late in the morning. Fishing parties who come a long distance would have better success and fewer failures if they made it a point to arrive very early in the morning. It might be better still to come the night before the day of their planned fishing . I ATE d Newspaper ] Southport, N.

Cultivation Of Timber Talke( Expert Says That Southeri Farmers Hurt Chance By Cutting Timber Crop Too Closely By Wilbur R. Mattoon Thousands of farmers in th South are seriously affected b a situation of which all fore.' ters arc aware.

The Wilmington speedboad artists will formally open their season Sunday with a group of races at the Wrightsville Terminal.

With plenty of time to advertise the event, it is believed that many visitors would be attracted here for the races. Comodore Anderson stated that he believed ten or fifteen members of his organization would be interested in coming here. Some of the boats, he said, are capable of making from 25 to 40 miles per hour.

Town I earn Wins Over Camp Nine Another one-sided licking was administered the Camp Sapona baseball team Saturday afternoon by the local town team. The score was 18 to 5. Eddie Spencer pitched steady hall for Southport. Watson led the hitting with a home run, two triples and a double. Thompson also had four hits for four times at bat. Action :k And Field Meet wore on. The pie eating contest got under way when Johnny Harrell, the favorite was stalled in the middle of a perfectly luscious piece of huckleberry pie and gave way to the winners Hewette, Brock, and Woodell. Postmaster Yaskell and others noted the contest the most messy, yet most effective, gustatony celebration witnessed during a life time in the knife and fork factory. After that Harrell, madder than a wet hen, made a last effort to show his promise by catching and holding his favorite pig in the "greased pig derby" but to no avail for his best was none too good as Cochran and Merritt caught their pigs more effectivly, to win first and second place.
