Never-a-dull-moment Jack.
When he's not begging or
stealing something to eat, or
when he isn't in a dog fight
he still nonages to keep within
the public eye.
Jack, may it be said by way
of explanation, is probably
Southport's best-known canine
citizen, a large white and liver
colored pointer who never met
a stranger-unless he was a dog
that wanted to fight.
Last Wednesday Jack went
up to pay a call upon his old
friend Attorney R. I. Mintz.
He sauntered in, flopped and
snoozed. Closing time came
and Mintz proceeded to close
up his office?located on the
second floor of the postoffice
building?and go home. An
hour or so later he was hastily
! summoned to return to his of|
fice and open up. Jack had
awakened, discovered that he
was deserted, and had stepped
from an open window onto a
narrow ledge running around
the building. There he was,
strolling to and fro, apparently

of a fall to the sidej
walk below.
Attention attracted, Jack

Shrimp Show L
Time This f
Shrimp are back, and their
reappearance has removed a
lot of real concern from the
minds of owners of boats and
the public in general. Veteran
fishermen are unhesitating in
their belief that in a few days
more the product will be both
plentiful and of normal size.
Meanwhile some 15 or 20 boats
are operating daily and bringing
catches up to 15 bushels.
Last January and February
the product entirely disappeared
from Southport waters, and
this was the first time on record
when absolutely none
could be found. March, April,
May and June came and went
and boats that went out to
look for them came in emptyhanded.
From all along the
Georgia and South Carolina
coasts the same condition prevailed,
no shrimp could be
found.
Ten days ago a shrimp buyer
in Charleston wrote the Chamber
of Commerce saying that
large numbers of small shrimp,
just under marketing size, were
showing up all along the Georgia
and South Carolina coast. I

Board Of County Commissioners
Apparently Helpless
To Do Anything
About Matter Of Adult
Drivers
STRONG SUPPORT
FOR THIS MOVE
However, It Is Doubtful If
Permission Can Be Secured
To Raise The Tax
Rate Over Last
Year's
In a joint meeting here Tuesday
with the county board of
education the board of county
Dommissioners considered plans
whereby adult drivers might be
provided for Brunswick county
school buses this winter.
Rough figures indicate that a
program of this kind will rejuire
about $10,000.00 as the
jounty's part if drivers are to
Pe paid a proposed salary of
540.00 per month. The state
ivould pay $9.50 per month of
this amount, their current payment
to bus drivers, and the
Dounty would bqpome responsible
tor the balance of the increased
monthly pay.
This, of course, brings on the
question of where is this money
to come from, and the commissioners
were hesitant to add an
Bxtra 20-cents to the current tax |
rate of the county. It has been]
their hope to have the rate re- j
main at last year's figure of $1.60, J
but excluding their wishes in the I
matter, it is doubtful that Chas.
M. Johnson, director of the local
government commission, would
permit the levying- of this additional
tax. This was indicated in
a. letter which he recently wrote
County Auditor R. C. St. George
relative to another matter in
(Continued on page four)
fp For First
season Sunday
ion that there would be plenty
of good shrimp in a couple of
weeks and he wanted to know
how things were here.
Sunday the Buddy of Captain
Herbert Rogers took a j
party of Kannapolis sport fish- |
ermen out. It was too rough to
fish at the points off shore
where fish are usually' found..
Determined not to return em- |
pty handed the boat put its I
net overboard and hauled in J
some seven or eight bushels of
shrimp of a fair enough size
to bring $2.50 per bushel. This
catch started all available
boats out Monday and Tuesday,
and today still more' of the
craft put to sea. The fishermen
seem to think that they
will be able to operate steadily
when the weather will permit,
from now on.
In addition to the commercial
boatmen, the presence of the
shrimp is interesting to everybody,
including up-state sportsmen.
Shrimp constitute the
very best bait that can be
found, and on top of that their
presence causes the waters to
swarm with trout, blues and
mackerel.

Mrs. Mollycheck
Makes Prize Catch
If the fish aren't biting, Mrs.

foremost sportswoman,
refuses to be stumped, and
Tuesday she caught a cat.
Nope. Not a catfish, a
Thomas cat.
Airs. Mollycheck had come
in with her fishing paraphernalia
and had neglected to remove
a shrimp which she had
used as bait from her hook.
Along came the kitty, long
starved for a seafood dinner,
and ]>ounced upon the delectible
morsal. He was a consternated
cat when he discovered the
bone within the shrimp, but his
real panic didn't reach full
flower until he discovered that
the bone was tied to a string
and a pole.
The events which immediately
followed were climaxed by
a hasty trip to the office of
Dr. Landis G. Brown where the
hook was removed from the
cat's throat.

ir This is the fourth year that Sc
^ Mr. Dillard has been assigned
Brunswick county, and he has r0

for this coastal region. us
Following his report yesterday, of
Miss Annie May Woodside, coun- w<

is that few changes in bus routings ?

. One new bus will be aded at I

Recently the board of educa- __

here, too, as the patrons of

for small farms actually
;ant a total quota of about
0,000,000 pounds.
"This quota", Hutson said,
ompares with an estimated level
world consumption of United
atet' flue-cured tobacco prior to
e out break of the war in Eure
of around 775,000,000 pounds,
lerefore, if the 618,000,000und
quota plus the increase for
lall farms is maintained for the
jr years, 1940 through 1943, it
11 mean production at a level
out 100,000,000 pounds below _
e present estimated world conniption
level and should result
elimination of the surplus of
out 400,000,000 pounds which
suited from the extremely large
>p in 1939."
LARGE SURPPLUS
Mr. Hutson pointed out that
the current marketing season
ened, growers were confronted
the large supplies remaining
>m 1939 and further complicains
of the export situation. In:ations
were, he said, that buy3
for the trade with Great
ltain and continental European
untries would not operate in
is year's market unless some
rengement similar to the purase
and loan plan of 1939 was
t into effect. Such arrange:nts,
he said, would not ba
ide unless growers adopted
irketing quqtas in the referenm.
"If quotas are disapproved",
said, "marketings in 1941 will
uncontrolled as in 1939 and .'J
?ro will he nn nripe nrotection
r this year's crop."
Balloting in the referendum
11 be secret. Local committees 3
11 designate polling places,
ree local growers will be in
arge of each polling place. Any
na fide owner, operator, tenant K
share-cropper who receives a
are of the proceeds of the 1940
le-cured tobacco crop will be
gible to vote.
