If You Want T Publicity, The State News Bureau and the Brunswick Chamber of Commerce are both keenly anxious for matter that will make a little hunting or fishing story of exceptional interest. The state bureau sends this material to newspapers all over the United States and the local organization sends to North Carolina papers. The way it works out is that the local organization gets nold of matter for a story, writes it out and sends it to North Carolina papers. At the same time a copy is also made for and sent to the State News Bureau. There it is mimeographed and copies sent far and wide, creating good publicity for Bruns E STi A Goo 4-I'AGES TODAY ? ndorsed Meeting As t Commander Backing Of Other Posts In g Held At Harry's ;e Friday Southport, was endorsed for ler of the seventh legion disday night at the Anchorage * J nmigtl R.

One morning last week they | took a pack of thirteen hounds, i belonging to Dr. Davis and J. ! R. Boger of Concord. They went over to the Fort Caswell reservation and turned the "Walkers" lose. In about three hours they had "tailed" a total of five full grown foxes, and there was plenty more in the woods. "Tailing" the fox means the hunters got the body, not just that the animal was supposed to have been run down, killed and left by the dogs. Miss Harrelson Gets Promotion i _ I Former Assistant To H. C. | Bragaw At Orton Plantation Gets Chance As) Nursery Manager At Tarboro Miss Emma Lou Harrelson, | assistant to H. C. Bragaw at i Orton Plantation for the past j three years, has gone to Tarboro | where she has been appointed | manager of the Sam J. Nash nur-; suries. Mr. Nash, who was a brother of Mrs. J. Lawrence Sprunt, was killed in an automobile accident two weeks ago. Miss Harrelson was widely known for her courtesy to tourists and other visitors to Orton. Working with Bragaw, she obtained a wide knowledge of plants and flowers and this, together with her pleasing personality, reI suited in her appointment to her | present position. 0 Help With Send In Stories wick. Brunswick people or people visiting in Brunswick and having an unusual hunting or fishing experience shrould report the details to the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce at Southport by writing or in person. When a hunter or guide does not know just how to fix a story, that should not bother. Just send in the names of those who are connected with the matter and a few words regarding what happened. It is hoped that citizens who run across something that will made an interesting bit of publicity will not hesitate in 1 writing or seeing and telling | the Chamber of Commerce man j about it. ME d News paper ] iouthport, N. CM Wedn County Allotted 5076.8 Cotton Acres In 1941 Figures Released From Raleigh Show That The Acreage Increase Amounts To Nearly Three Hundred Acres DUE TO CORRECTION OF DATA ON PLANTING County Allotments Apport- ] ioned From State Allotment, Which This Year Is 975,543.7 Acres Farmers of Brunswick County have been allotted 910.1 acres on which to grow cotton in 1941. This compares with the county's 1940 cotton acreage allotment of 963.8 acres. In announcing the 1941 cotton allotment, E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer of N. C. State College, said that the variation in the allotments for the two years is due to a correction of data on the acreage planted to cotton in the county in prior j years; this data being the basis for determining county and individual farm allotments. The county allotments are apportioned by the Secretary of Agriculture from tne state allotment, which for 1941 is 975,248.2 acres. The 1940 North Carolina cotton allotment was 979,543.7 acres. In addition to the State allotment for next year of 975,284.2 acres, there is available 7,555 acres for new growers. This compares with 16,017 acres made available for new growers in addition to the 1940 State allotment. Individual allotments to growers are appproximately the same for 1941 as they were in 1940. All growers have already received a notice of their farm acreage allotment for next year. Floyd explained that differences in 1941 and 1940 allotments can | be attributed to: (1) The varia- j tion in the county allotment; or j (2) a change in the amount of cultivated land in the county, since the amount of crop land on Mil Widividuai V?rm'*7? a delt&irining factor in establishing allot- j ments for farms with allotments of five acre or more. Floyd fur- j ther explained that a farmer's al- j lotment may vary even though! his crop land was the same as used in determining his 1940 al-1 lotment. This is due, he said, to j a change in the "county factor" which was determined on the basis of the cultivated land in the county. New Law Firm For Southport C. Ed Taylor And E. J. j Prevatte Form Partnership For Practice Of Law Here C. Ed. Taylor and E. J: Prevatte, Southport attorneys, announce the formation of a partnership for the practice of law under the firm name of Taylor and Prevatte. This partnership became effective the first of the month. Mr. Taylor is the oldest active attorney in Brunswick county, having commenced practice here following his graduation from the law school of the University of North Crolina in the class of 1904. Mr. Prevatte moved here from Red Springs about a year and one-half ago and has been engaged in law practice. The firm offices are located in the same building that has been occupied by Mr. Taylor. Rowland Talks To Leland Folks Was Speaker At Regular Monthly Meeting Of P.T. A. On Tuesday Evening Supt. H. M. Rowland of the New Hanover Schools made a very inspiring talk before the Leland P.-T. A. at the regular monthly meeting . on Tuesday night. The subject for the meeting was "Education for Democracy". Mr. Rowland began his talk by stating that the four pillars of democracy were (1) the schools (2) the home (3) community organizations, and (4) the church. He complimented the work of P.-T. A.'s, suggesting that a P.T. A. should be the connecting link between the school, the home and community organizations.

V Coroner John G. Caison and1 j. Dr. L. G. Brown examined the j body and the officer decided that I it would be unnecessary to hold j '' an inquest. There was no evidence [ of foul play, he said, and his' verdict was that her death occured from natural causes some- . time between the hour of 12:10 a. m. and 8 a. m.

C. E. Rosendall Headed Commission Here Last Wednesday To Look Into Favorable Sites For Base LAND FOR SITE OFFERED FREE Joint Resolution Of Commissioners And Board Of Aldermen Sent To Washington The Naval Board here last week to inspect sites for a dirigible base was composed of Captain C. E. Rosendahl, chairman; Lt. Commander, D. N. Logan, and Lt. A. T. Flaherty. A committee previously appointed by Mayor T. E. Cooper to locate practical points in the Wilmington area was composed of Frederick Willetts, chairman; Eric Norden, Louise Hanson, Louis T. Moore, Julian Morton and J. A. Louglin, of Wilmington; J. J. Loughlin, Jr., and W. B. Keziah of Southport. This committee had located practical sites the day previous to the arrival of the Naval Board. j The Brunswick county chances for obtaining the "Blimp" base, as well as the chances of several other places, are now in the hands of the Secretary of Navy with the possibility that it will be at least two months before any decision as to the location is reached. The naval authorities made inspection of all proposed locations. The Wilmington area, which included sites near Southport, was gone into and, on the surface, it appears that if the Wilmington area is chosen the site will be either on the Bell Swamp Highway at the old turpentine camp or on the River Road at Walden's Creek. Other inspected sites in the area do not appear to present all of the required facilities. Commissioner J. E. L. Wade of Wilmington went to Washington Friday and on Monday he presented maps and briefs for the Wilmington area. The local proposition included the offer of sites without cost to the government. The sites must be one mile square, an area of 640 acres. It is unofficially stated that the construction cost of the base will run to 12 million dollars. Over a hundred civilians will be regluarly employed when construction is fini.'.ied and there will be an enlisted force of about 350 men with officers in addition. Quite a sizeable little town should spring up around the base, whereever it happens to be established. It is stated that the government is endeavoring to spread defense industries over a wide area, instead of centering them in one locality. Shallotte Man WW 1 O 1 Honored ounday W. A.
