KEZIAH Unless our guess on the way he. will turn out misses, Brunswick! county will have at least one sad-; die horse entry at the next horse show in Wilmington. Felton Garn- j er, of Bolivia, told us last week' that he thought Star, Mrs. Garn- j er's beautiful horse, would be j qualified by the time the next) show was announced. Star has all the qualities that j goes to make a gaited saddle j horse, weight, speed and grace | He is three and a half years old1 and has never been ridden yet.j Training him to ride is not ex-j pected to be a hard task. We never did like the term breaking I a horse, and are not going to use it here. Star simply needs a little training and that will be easy. He does not lack in energy but he is without a trace of viciousness as a result of the careful handling Mrs. Garner has always' given him, > P0R1 n A Good Con nesday, January 24, 19mm, k i Shallotte Postmaster In ^p~8e| JiMr .

Mrs. Gilbert Tells ( To Hickory En Mrs. Elizabeth Gilbert Saw 1 Great Work Which Is Be- ' ing Done At Hickory Mrs. Elizabeth Gilbert, of Southport, has seen for herself the "Miracle of Hickory," the way in 1 which our people here in North Carolina faced the emergency when polio struck so ruthlessly during the past simmer. "If everyone in County could have seen what I saw on my trip 11 to Hickory, there would be noj<; trouble in raising many times our ? county's quota for Infantile ParBlysis, "said Mrs. Gilbert. Late in the summer the am- 1 tluance of Harrell's Funeral Home! was used to carry a boy from ' Wilmington, who had passed the * contagious stage of the disease, ' lo the Hickory Hospital for treat- c ment. Mrs. Gilbert, as reception- v ist for the funeral home, accompanied the boy there. When she arrived, one of the doctors asked < her if she would like to look over the hospital and in his company she visited the wards and saw what was being done for the patients. "It was a revelation, saia mis. Gilbert, "To see what is being accomplished there by our dimes through the National Foundation. A. full staff of doctors and nurses, I assisted by volunteers, went about t their task of helping twisted and i; tortured bodies to regain their C forme shrape and health. Many 1 mother, who had brought their j children for treatment, remained f to help in the great work. Every- a body seemed to have pitched in to help." i; "The smiles on the faces of the s children," continued Mrs. Gilbert," J (Continued on Page 4.) r I 1 a 1 WING = c r Reporter . i While he has never been riden there are no doubts of his having j all the gaits. He has them, natural ones, and does not mind showing them around the lot of his stable. With his unusual color and distinctive markings, black mane and tail on a creamy dark body, I he is a creature to delight the eye of any horse lover. Another horse that may be a candidate for horse-show honors this year is Rebel, young roan stallion belonging to Dr. and Mrs. LeRoy Fergus. In his early life, c he is something over two and a 1 half years old now, he learned a 1 bit of viciousness from fighting with his mother, Cherry McDon- t aid, twice winner at the horse t show.

Lewis of the I Supply-Shallotte community has I been missing in action in Belgium I since Christmas day, according to1 word received by relatives from the War Department this week. Sgt. Lewis is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Lewis. He is married, his wife being the former Miss Josephine Phelps, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hendrix Phelps. With the Germans claiming to bave taken around twenty thousand American prisoners of war In Belgium during Christmas, relatives and friends of Sgt. Lewis are hopeful that the report of his being missing in action may indicate that he is a prisoner of war, instead of having been killed. One of his sisters, Mrs. Jones, lives near Southport. Purple Heart Sent To Mrs. Stanley Mrs. Eloise Atkinson Stanley of Winnabow has received the Purple Heart which was awarded posthumously to her husband, Pfc. James C. Stanley, who was killed in action in Holland on October 29, 1944. Pvt.

" ,L Tobacco And Sw'jet Potatoes Seem To Be Of Chief Interest To Ilrunswick M County Farmeis This m Year > Holding meetings with farmers .if and farm women in 'arious sec- | tions of the county luring the past week, County A gent J. E, 41 Eodson and Miss Eli:;abeth Nor- tp fleet, the Home Agent, have found much interest ir tobacco as ]?] one of the main crops for Bruns* ij wick this year. It se;ms certaili that most farmers v ith tobacco ll allotments will plant their full tj acreage. However, the question of I labor to take care of any increase Jj I in this crop is bothersome. jl There seems no question that ' -91 the crop will bring a good price, jg!| both this year and for two or -lil three years to come The labor si situation must be given serious VI consideration, in the opinion of OI the County Agent. In many cases : I it may be Well to strive for maxi- I mum production on the regular nil acreage, without any acreage in- *' l crease. Under existing conditions Mil the growers need to make a 111 thorough individual itudy of all H problems that maj arise this If year. Both the farm and home workers have been encou -aging sweet potato planting this year. Market conditions appear to justify such J an increase on farms having suitable soil and adeqi ate storage facilities.
