I^ar Sir:?
I am asking the publication of !1
the attached letter commendatory
tbi Senator S. B. Frink. We feel I
that our work during the past J
tv o years has been such that we s
Ht ve some small knowledge of ^
the matter in question. We also
fppl that there are many open F
jp(nded people who will heartily 1
arfree with us that the State Ad- *
vartising funds have been admin- (
ifcUred judiciously and without ^
discriminating against such small
counties and communities as d
Brtinswick county and SouthF>ort. d
"Within the year Bill Sharpe, >
s(ate Publicity Director, has
bqen in Brunswick five times,
oije of these trips extending
through four days. Assistants in
h^s office have been here on t
throe different occasions. The j
assistant State Industrial Engin- ^
egr has been here once and is 0
slated for another visit this c
week. We have been brought in- v
ticj close contact with important t
industrialists and others, and it
is believed some of these con- g
taicts will shortly lead to devel- t(
opments of great value to Brunswick
county and Southport. (
\neit thnt hf* made U
fl tWCUb ??M?v ?? J j
h&e I jokingly told Mr. Sharpe j
that the advertising and publici- c
ty department had given several
times more money and time to ^
Brunswick and Southport than to t
some of the heavily populated t
counties and cities.
"Yes. instead of putting every- n
thing into the big established ..
communities, our program has
been to try and help the small !s
and unknown places that have1,,
good possibilities." he said.
"Brunswick county and South- j j
port have potentialities that can q
be developed into something of j s
great value to the State." c
The Letter j
Senator S. B. Frink,
Southport, N. C,
Dear Bun:?
We are getting a lot of satis- j
faction out of seeing you lined j
up so solidly for the State Ad-11
yertising Program. Brunswick I,
county and Southport have been L
getting a hundred times more a
from this state work than our!s
average citizen realizes. There c
has been no discrimination r
against us because we were c
small. In fact, we have been get- t
ting favors and help that has not
been accorded to counties of ten g
times our population.
This was because the State j
was following a policy of trying r
to help the small, unestablished t
places that were unknown, but J
which had great potentialities for' t
development. s

county. '
In addition to the $3,710.62 of '
county, state and Federal funds, '
which were spent for salaries
and wages and paid to Bruns- 1
wick county residents, there was <
spent $2,629.80 during the same <
fiscal year. This amount was '
from matched funds provided by
timberland owners who co-ope- *
rate with the state in forest fire 5
control on protective associations.. \
; No portion of this $2,629.80 was 1
from county funds. Therefore;" 1
$6,340.42 represents the average t
annual sum paid to the residents
of Brunswick copntiy. i
And this is not all for an in- ?
vestment of $2,000 put up by the 1
county for forest fire control. 1
From October, 1934, to date, the (
following improvements, . have {
been' constructed iff Brunswick
county by the CCC, without One i
penny being put up by the coun- ,
ty. These improvements are per- i
manent and their value repre- i
sents county assets and the con-1t
struction of these improvements <
have materially benefitted every
resident of Brunswick county, i
not only from the standpoint of (
better forest fire control, but t
1 from the standpoint of travel !
throughout the county on the (
roads which have been construe- j
ted. . ?
Forty-five miles of truck trails i
i costing $157,500.00;. seventy-one j
' miles of telephone line costing t
$11,715.00; three lookout towers t
as follows; Shallottc, 100 ft., $2,>
122; Maco, 100 ft., $1,698; Green (
Swamp, 120 ft, $2,787; total Cost i
of three lookout towers, $6,607.00 c
Four tower residences as fol- j
lows; Shallotte, $532; Bolivia, (5 j
room house), 51,947; Maco, (5- j<
room house), $1,812; Green P
Swamp, (5-room house, garage^
and. workshop), $2,500; total cost (
of four residences, 56,791.00; to- '
1 tal cost of constructed improve-'
ments above listed, $182,613.00. (
The above are completed projects
costing the county absolutely
nothing and representing al'
most $183,000. In addition to the
above the CCC camp now located
in the northwest corner of Brunswick
county in the center of the
Green Swamp has set up for
construction and is now working
on "the following:
Forty-two miles of truck trails
costing $147,000.00; eighteen
miles of telephone line costing
$2,700.00; one outlook . tower
, near Niggerhead, 120 ft, coating
. $2,700.00; one garage and tool
, house at Maco, costing $400.00;
total proposed improvements to
, be constructed in Brunswick
! county by CCC $153,070.00. .
The improvements that are to
