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.

CC
Coach Ccsareo, of Bolivia,
again is molding a championship ax
girls team from green material. cc
Although Bolivia lost half of its
team by graduation, it shows no
signs of missing their alumni UI
players.
After trailing Wampee 6-0. the
Bolivia girls stepped on the gas
and overtook their rivals by some
dazzling passwork, winning 13-11.
One thing which was outstand- .
ing was the fine teamwork that
was displayed, every player
working with one another and
forgetting about being individual c'
stars. 2}
The boys, although defeated by
the South Carolinians, showed
that they will give every team n'
in their class a "fit," and will

8,781 Confined
In N. 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."

Puppet Show, sponsored by the ?
I Oral Hygiene Division of the j
State Board of Health, of which j s
Dr. Ernest A. Branch is the 3
| director, is making the rounds in j
[North Carolina again; and, work- c

Numerous facts are being glean- j j

by the show, and these are be- e
ing passed along to the children e
of other sections of the State, j c
for their edification, through a s
I fortnightly service, known as i i
"Jack's Travalogue." t
Now, just what is this "Jack's t

[plains it thus: |(
"Under the supervision of Miss [ c
Carolyn Mercer, a member of the c
Oral Hygiene Division's staff, a
25,000 mimeographed copies of <
| this travalogue are sent to the t
i various school papers of the 1
State every two weeks. The '
j sheets are made to fit into the r
I papers issued by the students, 5
and they are designed to hold '
their readers' interest.
"Various North Carolina com-1'
I f
| munities are described. For ex- 1
ample, here is one of the recent 1
[pages from 'Jack's Travalogue': j
"All boys like trains. You will J

the program will be carried
mt by County Rehabilitation

ipplicants who have the charactr,
ability and experience deamd
necessary for successful farm
iwnership. County Agents will
ilso be expected to co-operate

o the announcement.
"Applications will be filed with
County Supervisors but county
ifficers will not be ready to ac:ept
formal applications for tenint
purchase loans until Countv
Committees have been named and
he State Advisory Committee has
ecommended the counties where
enant purchase loans will be
nade this year. Because only
>10.000,000 was appropriated for

States, funds will not be sufficient
to make loans for the

lumber of counties.
"The counties in which tenant
mrchase loans will be made in

ecommendation of the State

The State Advisory Commitee
will also recommend mem

"Although land purchase loans
ire limited, regular rehabilitation

from being a great aid in fire
prevention, it is giving the boys
valuable training in this type of
work.
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.

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. ;

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.
