Thursday ]
i
Important That Every Person
Who Has Volunteered
For Duty In Connection
With Program Attend
FIRST MEETING
HELD LAST NIGHT
This Work Has Passed
From Organization Stage
To Training Phase Of
The Program
The three front seats would
have held all of the people present
for the first training session
for the newly organized Civilian
Defense program last night at
the courthouse, and Co-ordinator
Chas. M. Trott asked earnestly
for advice as to how to impress
the citizens of Southport of the
seriousness of the business at
hand.
A plan of organizing was worked
out, designed to get the people
out for a similar meeting on
Thursday night at 8:30 o'clock.
It is particularly important that
each family in town be represented,
but there is no desire to restrict
attendance to only one person
from each family unit. Every
man and woman, boy and girl
is neded for some type of service
in connection with Civilian
Defense, and the training program
is designed to make them
better fitted for the jobs expected
of them.
Trott and C. L. Alligood, commander
of Civilian Defense forces
in Southport, pointed out that
this is not a job that a few can
do for all. Rather is it a chain
that will not support its own
weight unless very capable person
in town tries to find a place
for service and fills in.
The Thursday night meeting,
plus an educational movie that
will be used later and a final
brief course in Red Cross First
Aid wil lte all that is required
in the way of training for Civilian
Defense volunteers. However,
those in charge of the program
do feel that there is no time to be
lost in getting forces in this community
organized and trained to
take care of any emergency.

charge of the State's Navy Re;
cruiting, administers the oath of
enlistment to what is expected to
be the largest group of eastern
North Carolina men ever enlisted
in one ceremony.
Age limits are from 17 to 50,
and men who were previously rejected
because of physicial reasons,
especially concerning teeth
and eyes, are asked to visit the
Wilmington Recruiting Station as
soon as possible. The Station is
located on the second floor of the
post office building here.
For men who are qualified in
some particular field, there are
many ratings open?up to Chief
Petty Officer, with pay up to
$126 per month, plus allowances
for dependents. Every man who
enlists in the Navy now is allowed
specific amounts to take care
of his dependents.
In the enlistment ceremonies
on August 8, many Naval officials
from this section will be on hand
to extend their congratulations to
the men who are "pitching in
now when they are needed."
Needless to say, these men will
be given special considerations,
and it will not be necessary for
the applicants of August 8th to
go through the physical examination
at Raleigh.
Many men who have delayed
too long in volunteering for the
Navy now regret it. Men who
have been called for the Army
1 still may enlist if they report to
i the Wilmington office at least
, two days before their date of
, induction.

CCCEnds With
Much Work Done
This County Was One Area
That Enjoyed Benefits Of
Forestry Units Of This
Organization During Its
Life
When the Civilian Conservation
Corps closed its book on June 30,
it had completed 9 years of
service in conserving the natural
and human resources of America.
During that period, CCC camps
under the Jurisdiction of the U.
S. Forest Service and the State
Forester advanced the cause of
forest conservation in North Carolina
by at least a generation,
both of the Pisgah and Nantahala
National Forests and on
State and privately owned lands.
A total of 4,900,000 man-days of
I work was done, of which about
60 percerft was on the national
forests.
Highlights of the work accomplished
in North Carolina include
the following items:
The CCC boys, in improving
the physical facilities of the forests,
built 2,688 miles of roads,
398 miles of trails, and 1,130
bridges. They constructed 519
buildings, 52 miles of fences, and
1,800 miles of telephone lines. To
prevent erosion, tney siopea ziu,000
square yards of road banks,
seeded and sodded 188,000 square
j yards, and planted 393,000 square
yards of gullies.
To aid in fire protection, they
[ erected 85 lookout towers, cleared
1,200 miles of firebreaks, and
j spent 46,000 man-days fighting
| fires. Largely through the fire
control improvements and facilities
constructed by the CCC, it
has been possible for the Division
of Forestry of the North
Carolina Department of Conservation
and Development to provide
fire control on millions of
acres of private timber lands that
otherwise would have continued
to suffer severe damage annually.
At the beginning of the
CCC program in 1933, only 2,240,000
acres of State and private
forest lands in North Carolina
received fire protection. By
January 1, 1942, this had increased
to 11,820,000 acres.
For sowing in forest nurseries,
37,670 bushels of pine cones and

Plenty Of Fish
I the rush of fish that will start
in late August and continue
through September and October.
The sudden interest in buying
barrels and salt was occassioned
by the ruling of the fisheries
committee of the North
Carolina Department of Conservation
and development,
which last week gave authority
for the menhaden boats to take
food fish in their purse nets.
This order will undoubtedly result
in the catches of food fish
increasing several times over
the normal production, and
there will be times when the
market for fresh fish will be
completely glutted, unless me
thods other than icing are re|
sorted to.
At best, icing and freezing
will take care of only a limited

With the Georgia markets re- _
; portedly averaging around 28 or f(
, 30 cents a pound on their open- ?
ing sales this week, local tobac,
conists and growers took encour-1
. agement today over the outlook 11
I for the opening here next Thurs- c
, day, and many predicted a sea- n
; son average of 30 cents or more. a
, The average for the first week t
in Georgia last year was 20.38 a
, cents, according to a check-up to- 1
[ day. Although the first figures '?
: were unofficial, it appeared that
Georgia was up from six to eight z
cents a pound. o
The 1941 average in this Belt t"
was 26.93 for August and 25.90 w
for the season. If this section is ii
? up as much as Georgia, the av- t<
? erage might well reach or even ti
surpass 30 cents, for both the lo- ii
|[ cal and the Georgia crops are t:
generally regarded as being of y
better quality than 1941. ji
The news from Georgia was the tl
best word received recently by 0
local growers, warehousemen, and t
merchants, who cater to the farm
trade .and who get a kick of seele
ing the grower get the top mar- d
" ket price for his year's labor.
Three Whiteville warehousemen,
lr Oliver Nelson, Dial Gray, and
Jack Neal, went to Georgia for h
r" the opening. They returned to- ?
? day, bringing first-hand informa- ,
tion on the 1942 grades and reg- i;
% ulations, designed to help the lo- c
'*> cal Tobacoo Center to give its f
's patrons the tops in service and t;
a prices. c
Hunter Lea has also come in, I
le and all except one of the ware- ii
j" house men are here and putting t
the finishing: touches to their r
le long and extensive preparations 0
to have everything in readiness v
ie for the growers' service and pleasure
next week.
Warehousemen Nelson, Gray,
and Neal brought Whiteville its
' first official account of the Georgia
opening upon their return to''e
day, correcting several inaccuracies
which appeared in Wednesle
day's newspapers, and repealing
several new bits of information
'e and counsel of vital interest to
farmers.
The unofficial newspaper averages
from the different markets
ran all the way from 28 cents to
38'^. but the local delegates estit
mated that 28 to 30 cents would
be more accurate.
The unofficial newspaper tops
from the different markets ran
x as high as 40 and 50 cents, but

plained that these were on piles
bought by warehousemen and
were not the real tops.

JUI1U 11UOC, Uiouibb UU\.V. wwt ui,
ivilian Defense, appeared here
riday evening and made an imressive
talk before citizens of
lis community about the importice
of being prepared to take
ire of themselves, their loved
ses and their property in the
rent of enemy action along this
:ction of the coast.
Theme of his talk was that it
i of paramount importance that
rery citizen believe in Civilian
efense. "This nation has two
inds of enemies," he said. "First,
lere is the type that are the
pen and avowed foe to our naon
and who seek, by force of
mis, to destroy us and all of
nr possessions.
Then there is a more insidious
ind of enemy," he continued,
the type of person who wants
scurity, but who does nothing to
lsure it. He is like the man who
rouldn't think of rearing his famy
in a community without a
hurch, but who does nothing eider
personally or financially to
upport the church."
At the conclusion of his talk,
Ir. Rose presided over a glovesff
open forum session that saw
everal of the weaknesses of the
scent air raid alarm brought up
or discussion. One important 1
ontribution to this phase of the
iscussion was made by Rev. Horeli,
pastor of one of the colored
hurches of Southport. As spokesnan
for his- people Rev. Howctt" '^1
sked that the colored Citizens of
he community be considered in
ny plans for organizing and
raining for better work in Civilin
Defense.
'? <"
The speaker said that the citiens
had to find time to carry
n the civilian defense duties as
rell as carry on their regular
fork. "There is no time for playng,
beyond sufficient recreation
o maintain our health, we've got
3 stop killing valuable time playlg
bridge and other such pastimes
and every man, woman and
outh must realize that we've a
jb, three or four jobs, to do and
hat we can't wait until this fall
? tWio HfintoK + r\ cto Ufo'vo ffflf
1 klliO VUlllVi l.u UVttl V) TfV TV gv?
o do them now."
Mr. Rose said that we all had
ather do these jobs in civilian
efense voluntarily than have to
e told to do them as a dictatot
rould order his subjects, but we
ave got them to do. The speakr
said, "If this voluntary plan
or carrying on the work in Civilin
Defense fails then our Demoratic
form of government will
ail and we will have to some
ype of dictator government to
arry on the nation's war effort."
le urged that Politics-As-Usual
a Washington' be stopped and
hat all races, party politics and
eligious faiths come together in
ne mighty force and effort to
/in the war.
