One of the white cases and the colored vie- I itim are residents of Lockwoods 1 Folly township and neither of the i children had ever taken the diph- \ theria antitoxin. i The other case is in the Mill s Creek section and the victim is a 1 child who had received one shot ( of the toxoid, but who had never t [been given the Schick test to de- t jtermine if he were immune. t This make five cases of diph- i theria in Brunswick within the past month and Mrs. Smith is \ asking parents to do their part j in trying to prevent an epidemic j of this dangerous child disease. ; She suggests that the parents of children from the age of 6 mon- ( ths to 6 years carry them to their t family physician, or bring them c to the county health office either t on Monday or Saturday. i I T Improvements in i Local Buildings Numerous Repairs And Improvements Are Being ' Made In Business Places And Homes Of Southport Not in a long time have there been more jobs in progress in Southport for repairs and improvements.

Because te if its fascinating habit of catch- in ng and eating bugs, flies and ither small insects, the fly-trap pi dionaea) is highly prized as an a iddity, and hundreds of collectors *1 ire trying, with more or less luccess, to make it thrive away P1 'rom its restricted habitat. The P 'ly-trap's natural home is con- ir 'ined to a small area in New ol Hanover and Brunswick coun- N ;ies, and has rarely been found t' nore than 75 miles away. sf The fly trap has small flat b< eaves doubled so as to form a hi jurse. Outer edges of the leaves S( ire lined with long stiff spikes, tl vhich interlock when the "purse" tl a closed. Inside the leaves are a: lix trigger hairs, which, upon p jeing disturbed twice, set off the r< lapilliary mechanism of the trap, I bi :he leaf-halves closing swiftly on I tc :he prey. Insects are attracted to M he leaf by a brilliant red lining re nside. After closing down on its prey, tl vith spikes locked together, the ai >lant digests the fly, later re- tt luming its open position and ex- el jeuing me sxeieton. ? The fly-trap is marvelously ac- fi :urate in its snaring. A single m ;ouch will not cause the trap to lo :lose, and thus the plant is pro- ti ected against accidental spring- ei ng such as might be caused by ai Plans For Nav) Southpc ** C Sparrow Bums Ride On Boat ???????? ^ An English sparrow that had R evidently flown in the wrong direction alighted on Frying Pan lightship, 85 miles offshore from Southport two weeks ago. The bird was completely exhausted but recovered in a short time after members of the crew had fed and watered it. During the two subsequent E weeks the sparrow became hi tamer than a barnyard hen, al- di lowing any of the members of si the crew to approach and pick E it up. Although it flew all about di the ship it showed no inclina- P1 tion to leave. Friday Captain " Karl Torrestcnscn of the lightship brought the bird to South- P1 port and liberated it. d Mrs. R. J.
