During Saturday's
Session
Foster Mintz, young Bolivia

man of the Democratic executive
committee Saturday in a smoothly
executed manouver that checked
the heat in what had been billed
as a pretty hot session of the
county convention.
Mintz was the chosen candidate
of the anti-Stanaland faction,
but his nomination came
as such a surprise, and his personal
reputation and popularity
in all sections of the county was
so marked, that there was no
chance to offer organized resistance
to his candidacy.
His opponent was J. J. Hawes,
young businessman, of Supply,
who also enjoys a reputation for
being a clean-cut young representative
of his party. He was generally
regarded as the candidate
of the Stanaland faction.
The final vote was 7 to 3 for
Mintz, and to show the degree of
harmony that had been brought
about, an immediate -move was
made to have the election of
Mintz made unanimous. Mrs. R.
O. Lewis was named vice-chairman
and Mrs. J. A. Russ was
named scc-etary without opposition.
The meeting at Shallotte was
presided over by Hawes, and it
was decided that all Democrats

Good rains the past winter

been in half a dozen years.
This last winter and its rains
saw about the first real break

, Farmers, foresters, gardeners,
landowners and everybody ex.
perienced a feeling of relief last
Friday morning when they awoke
, to the realization that copious
l rains had been falling practically
. all night, and was still coming
5 down. Friday night saw continuous
drizzle and Saturday morning
brought real downpours that
not even a thirsty and long suffering
earth could absorb. The two
, days saw real soakers.
^ Nearly seven weeks of continu?
ous dry weather had absorbed
practically all the moisture left
near the surface by the rains of
r last winter. Gardens and farm
' crops were badly in need of mois1
ture.
Not the least of the folks who
were glad to sec the rains were
1 the land and timber owners. All
' during last winter lumbering of
' various sorts was carried on cx!
tcnsivcly. One result of the extcn1
sive operations, and a rather prcnounccd
labor shortage to take
' eare of the demand, was that
' brush and tree tops were left
everywhere, adding to dead
growth to constitute a constant

' small fires broke out in various ;
parts of the county and one tract
of fifteen thousand acres was
burned over. In all cases, except
, this single large fire, the efficient

was able to handle
the flames in such a manner that
the damage was very small.

APPLICATIONS MAY
BE MAILED TO BOARD
Mrs. J. L. Henry, Winnabow,
And Carl Andrews,

Of Both These
Forms
A representative of the Brunswick
County Rationing Board
stated today that arrangements
have been completed to establish
a place at Shaliotte and at Winnabow
where applications may
be made for a supplementary allotment
of gasoline and for a
supply of sugar to be used foi
canning.
At Shaliotte forms for these
two purposes are in the hands ol
Carl Andrews, who has agreed
to assist persons who find thai
location more convenient in filling
out the necessary forms for additional
gasoline or for canning
sugar.
At Winnabow Mrs. J. L. Henry
has agreed to take charge of
these two types of forms and to
assist those who wish to make
application.
Only the application form will
be completed either at Winnabow
or at Shaliotte, and this will
be forwarded to the Rationing
Board at Southport for the issuance
of the supplementary gasoline
card or the sugar purchase
certificate for canning sugar.
However, it has been promised
that no delay will occur in these
applications as has been the
case in new tire and retreading
applications, since the materials
are readily available as soon as
the necessary forms arc complet
ea.
In the matter of gasoline ration
cards, the chairman of the
Board has promised that Brunswick
county residents who work
New Hanover County Rationing
in Wilmington, and who find it
i more convenient to make their
application for a supplementary
allotment over there, will be issued
the necessary cards from
that office. This information is
given, and the arrangements to
have the application forms at
Shallotte and Winnabow, has been
done as a measure of convenience
to residents throughout the county.
