V?' . 4* PAGE 4 Hat Looking For Head Of Owner B. E. Greer, general merchIant of Boomer, is looking for his hat. It seems that while he was fishing from a pier at Carolina Beach last October, his headpiece blew out into the ocean. So, Mr. Greer, having heard that Southport shrimp trawlers were scooping up everything from hats to $5.00 bills, wrote the Givic Club to ask if anybody has found his hat. If they have, he does not propose to I elaim it. His idea is that SouthJport is the best fishing place on the coast and his wandering headpiece may have strayed down here in search of him. CARD Ol THANKS I wish to thank all the parties who employed my boat for fishing expeditions this year. I also wish to thank my good friends in Southport and elsewhere who have helped me to obtain parties. I wish to assure all that I appreciate their help and that I xVill be prepared to render real service in 1938. Capt. H. T. BOWMER Southport. N.

After trailing Wampee 6-0. the Bolivia girls stepped on the gas and overtook their rivals by some dazzling passwork, winning 13-11.

C. Prisons lirector Of Correctional Institutions Makes Survey Of The Penal Institutions Of North Carolina Raleigh.?Dr. J. Wallace Nygrd, director of the Division of istitutions and Corrections of ic State Board of Charities and ublic Welfare, released a report icently which showed that as of eptember 30, 1937, there were S,781 persons confined to penal, >rrectional and cnaritable instiitions of the state. Of that number, the statement lid, 7,082 were patients in the mr mental hospitals maintained f the state of North Carolina, hile 9,389 were inmates of state isons and prison farms. A total of 1,374 was in instiitions for physical defectives; !6 were in delinquent schools ir men and women, and 50 were mates of the homes for Confedate veterans and women. On September 30 there were 370 persons confined in 78 lunty jails of the state, either vaiting trial or serving scnten:s, the report showed, while 115 sane persons were in 44 jails, he latter number included 16 lder 25 years of age. There ali were 143 children under 16 ;ars of age in 37 county jails iring the month. The report also disclosed that i September 30 there were 2,12 inmates of 85 county homes, eluding 82 children of less than i years of age. "There are now many appliints awaiting entrance in all of ir state mental institutions," r TSIvpnnl sflirl. * - ? ?? "The recent Governor's Comission for the Study of the care ' the Insane and Mental Defecves," he continued, "estimates lat there are 1.700 white feebleinded children and 700 Negro leblc-minded children who need ng-time state institutional care id treatment. "Caswell Training School has capacity of 675 feeble-minded hites, while the Goldsboro unit >r the feeble-minded Negroes is a capacity of 100. "We do not have any recent itimatc on the number of inine in county homes, private istitutions or private homes, it during the fiscal year, 1936137, there were 1,527 listed in te county jails reporting to this vision. "The Governor's Commission port points out that all but :ven states in the Union have rovided more state hospital proisions her population than orth Carolina. "To alleviate these conditions ic next legislature will probab consider the report of the orth Carolina Commission for ic Study of the Care of the isane and Mental Defectives, hich recommends: " 'A second training school for icntal defectives and another !atc hospital for the earc of ic insane.'" "It is thought that there is a ossibility of serving both whites r,d Negroes in each of these remimended institutions by havig two distinctly separate diisions under the same managelent."

The making of this map is. of course, requiring a great deal of time and work. There have beer many revisions in the work since it started, and due to this some of the territory already surveyed is having to be gone over again, but when it is conpletcd it will be a job well done.

WATSON IS EIGHTY-ONE TODAY Continued from Page 1) Mr. Brown is pastor of the Southport Baptist church, an institution that, has long had the loyal support of Dr. Watson. It has been many years since his friends In Southport allowed November 23 to slip by without calling at the Watson residence to congratulate the retired druggist, for he is adept in his role ' as host. Since he moved here from Mar ion, S. C? in 1887, Dr. Watson has been actively identified with 1 leading fraternal and civic organizations and has earned for himself all the respect and admiration that is due a good citizen of his community. ; FARM PROGRAM TO BENEFIT CONSUMER WELL AS FARMER 1 < Continued from page 1) ' completely, however, due to vari- ; ations in weather and growing ( conditions that cause yield per ( acre to be greater in some years than in others. Consequently, Floyd said, for the consumer's protection, there , should be a carry-over of adequate reserve supplies from one year to the next. But if this protection is going to mean depressed prices, then agriculture cannot afford to give the consumer this kind of insurance. For this reason, something in addition to the regular 1938 agricultural program is considered necessary to provide consumers with the protection adequate carry-overs give without making the farmer run the risk of ruinous prices. The ever normal granary plan is a proposed solution for this problem. E. M HALL WILL REMAIN AS PASTOR Continued from Page 1) district, and the Reverend J. C.
