TWO INCIDENTS
MAR THE RECORD
.
Other Communities In
Brunswick Cooperate To
Make Entire Area Free
From Guides For
Possible Enemy
Planes
Southport and Brunswick county
cooperated practically one hundred
percent in the state-wide
biackout test held last night, and
the results of this trial leave officials
of Civiilan Defense feeling j
confident of their ability to take j
care of this area in the event of j
an emergency.
Only one or two untoward in-1
cidents cropped up to mar an
other-wise perfect program. At
Southport there was some trouble
with one local citizen and
some with a couple of visitors;,
and at Shallotte one citizen persisted
in using a flashlight after
authorities had asked him to observe
the blackout rules. The latter
claimed that he was doing an
emergency job that justified his
action.
This morning E. D. Bishop,
chairman of the* Civilian
Defense Council, said that
from all reports the test was a
success in other communities. He
had particular praise for the work
of volunteer workers, who assumed
responsibility for seeing that
detail assignments were performed.

Cherry Grove REA Club,
One Of Several In Brunswick
Electric Membership
Corporation, Has Good
Write-Up
The Cherry Grove REA Club,
of Columbus County, gained national
recognition with the publication
in the September issue of
"Rural Electrification News,"
magazine of the Rural Electrification
Administration, of an account
of the organization and activities
of the group.
In addition to the Cherry Grove
Club, REA clubs have been organized
at Shallotte, Holden's
Beach, Supply and Bolivia in
Brunswick county. It is believed i
by officials of the Brunswick
Electric Membership corporation
that their REA organization is
probably the first in the United
States to successfully sponsor
these clubs.
| E. D. Bishop, superintendent of
the Brunswick Electric Membership
Corporation, which furnishes
electricity to the Cherry Grove
I community .pointed out the article
which reads in part:
J '.'It all began at a kitchen party
in the Worly home. There had
been an interesting discussion of
j the nutrition and Food-for-FreeIdom
programs, and use of electric
[appliances. But one evening was
[not enough to answer all quesj
tions. fhe women wanted more
! opportunities to talk about mutual
interest in their informal community
group. So, the Cherry
1 Grove REA Club was organized, I
' officers elected, a time and place'
of regular meetings chosen."
"After the Cherry Grove REA
Club doubled in membership and
more than doubled in enthusiasm,
'plans were made to organize other
groups. These clubs have a
j two-fold purpose. They stimulate
I community interest and cooperative
functioning, and they broaden
' the members' knowledge in the

and during a 12-hour period the

There was a follow-up on
Tuesday morning, when the

although the official reading
was unavailable early this
morning, there was good reason
to believe that the season's low fi
reading was registered today. t!
