Brown, chairman of the Red Cross membership drive for -1 Brunswick county, final report for the roll call will be available / sometime next week. *Originally it was planned to bring the drive to a close Saturday, but from out in the coun-: ty comes word that workers still \are busy. It was from these dis- ti tricts that such good response n was received last winter for the flood sufferers. Mr. Brown says that he is hoping to have each consolidated di school in the county classified tt as a "100 percent" school, a title c that indicates that each grade ^ has joined the Red Cross. ^ Mr. Brown urges that all work- g ers get in their reports to him promptly in order that the total membership may be compiled and J the roll sent in to headquorters. ! * Narrow Escape For Salesman Onc-Armed Driver Has A' Close Call As His Auto Takes To Marsh To Avoid Head-On Collision ' "I'd surely hate to have that car hit mine," said a highway workman as he pointed to an overturned car which lay in the marshes off the causeway at the intersection of highway 76 and the old ferry road, last Tuesday i morning. "He was moving". Robert W. Towlcr, one-armed candy salesman, of Charlotte, who was en route to Southport had attempted to pass a car driven by the chauffeur of John D. Bellamy.

The Civic Club secretary, W. B. Kcziah, does not agree with the contention that worthwhile projects arc all finished, and this organization is making vigorous efforts to have the camp retained at its present location. It is being pointed out to the various sources that the present camp equipment includes physical property worth $15,000.00 to $20,000.00 anel that all of this will be lost to the government if Sapona is abandoned and a new camp built somewhere else. Far from being the least of the contention in. favor of keeping the camp where it is the fact that with the enormous amount of young forests now growing in the county the services of the men during periods, of. dry weather and forest files is veil nigh indispensable. : With more than 80% of the Bruns t'sCMhi : > .f ,0T [ED EVERY WEDNESDAY )Wft Id Last >on Be Vacated | ...

Finally, the club is asking that the camp be retained where it is now and changed front a forestry to a beach crosin camp; that the efforts of the men be devoted to the prevention of beach crosin' at Fort Caswell, Bald Head island and Battery island. The southern shore line of Bald Head is said to have lost 3 miles to the ocean in the past 26 years. It has many large areas where the planting of trees would be of wonderful value. Battery Island, about 60 acres, in the river directly off Southport., has three or four acres in trees and is a valuable bird sanctuary. By planting the remainder of this island in trees hundreds of thousands more birds would refuge there. While it is feared that it is too late to make a change in the plans to remove the camp, it is assured that every effort is being made to keep ' it at fceuthpert.
