Senate-House committee investigating
the Pearl Harbor disaster
for an hour's questioning. Hull

Tennessee Men
Are In County
Twenty Real Bear Hounds
And Tennessee Hunters
After Bear In Brunswick
Last Week
Inquiries among bear hunters,
md persons who keep up with
such hunters, reveal that about
50 bears have been killed in
Brunswick county this fall. The
number is increasing steadily.
Three bear-hunting stories in
this paper this fall have detailed
the killing of three bears in
a day in different sections of the
county. Numerous reports have
been received of two and one being
killed.
E. I. Vereen of the Exum community
was in town one day this
week and was interviewed about
recent bear killings in his community.
He told of Wrent Mintz
killing two in his cornfield a few
days ago, both large animals.
These and other bears have literally
played havoc with the corn
fields of Mr. Mintz and other
farmers in various parts of the
county.
At the time he was here, a
party of Tennessee bear hunters,
with 20 real bear hounds, were
hunting in Mr. Vereen's section
of the county. They had killed
three big bears in three days and
were expecting to get plenty
more before they returned to
their homes in Tennessee. Mr,
Vereen said that seven cars were
required to transport the party
and their dogs. Those dogs, he
said, were really something wher
it came to hounds.
Mintz Resigns

ty commissioners to take charg(
of the county home a year ago
when no suitable person could bt
found to handle the home, ha;
resigned the position of keepei
and will return to his farm neai
Leland.
Mr. Mintz, who is a Baptisi
minister, has made one of th<
best keepers that the home ha;
had in many years. Under hi:
administration and that of Mrs
Mintz the inmates of the hom<
have been treated in a splendic
manner. Their leaving the jel
is a matter of general regret. Th<
decision to resign and return t<
the farm came as a result o
the bad health of Mrs. Mintz.
At a call meeting of the boar;
of commissioners this past week
Charles Hickman, who was ii
charge of the home some year:
ago and who made a splcndj;
keeper, was appointed to succect
Mr. Mintz at the home. He re

Ready To Run
Power Line
j Cooperative Utility Company
Ready When Build-1
ing Costs Are Less Prohibitive
*!
An official of the Brunswick J
County REA stated this week'
: that the Electric Memoersmp j
Corporation is ready to run power j
Jines from Southport to the
Brunswick River Bridge, just as i
! soon as bids for the clearing of
i the right of way and the erection |
j of the pole line, at a reasonable j
! cost, could be secured. The cor-1
1 poration makes it a practice to
I ask for bids on such work and j
| thus far bids on various short
j lines in other sections of the
(county have been out of reason
[ in cost.
Pointing out that the number
j of new homes along the River
j Road has more than doubled in
' the past few years and that there |
I are now some very potential in- j
I dustrial possibilities that will re-1
| quire current, the REA official, j
J who asked that he be not named, j
j gave it as his opinion that if
reasonable bids could be secured J
for the clearing of the right of'
way and erection of pole lines
could be secured, the River Road
project was one of sufficient im- ]
portance to be started right |
away.
A survey of the River Road by
I the State Highway Commission to
' determine the exact course to be
1 followed when the road is paved,
| would be helpful to the REA.

to
ly Thanks to the many big diesel

be from 5 to 15 miles offshore and
go out in practically any sort of
4r weather, Monday and Tuesday
were near record breakers in
t'. shrimp production at Southport.
U1 The boatmen are literally hitting
er the jackpot and bringing in a
'1- J real harvest.
| For each of the two days the
*e smallest boats averaged about 30
n-1
^ j bushels of shrimp, plus fish. A
' j dozen or so of the bigger boats
averaged 50 bushels per day and
' better. Ttfe Mary Clark, top
g"
boat of all of the fleets, averaged
US
87 bushels for each of the two
irl
days, and had bad luck at that.
' With the temperature falling late
in the evening and the shrimp
e,
clustering in a great mass on
othe
floor of the ocean, she scooped
up such a net full that the
es '
j whole bag of the net tore off and
lost an estimated 75 bushels, as
3U the winches were drawing the
iel trawl aboard.
111 Although only around 60 or 65
trawlers arc wot king this year,
the production has already broken

According to reports from
Prince O'Brien, of the Waccamaw
Bank and Trust Company and LeRoy
Mintz. Brunswick county
chaiiman for the Victory Loan
j drive, Brunswick county has
| bought 37 per cent of its quota.
The drive will be over on the 8th
I of December, only a short time
! from now. If Brunswick is to go
over the top in this drive as it
has in all others there will have
to be a lot active buying of Vic|
tory Bonds between now and the
8th of December.
"When you are asked to buy
Victory Bonds," said Mr. O'Brien,
no one is asking you to give a
i cent for anything. They are simply
asking you to invest some of
your money in a mighty good
security?the best security in the
world,
Both Chairman Mintz and Mr.
fV Rripn arp atill rnnfidpnt that
| Brunswick county will go over the
; top with the purchases of the
j bonds before December 8th. Mr.
Mintz said yesterday that it was
| impossible to see every body and
ask them to buy. For this reason
! he hopes that the patriotic men
1! and women of Brunswick will buy
bonds of their own accord without
i waiting to be asked.

I*'In Washington last week the

)! surplus merchant ships on the
1 Brunswick River. This bid was
an offer to do the dredging al
a price of sixteen cents per cubic
yard. It was promptly rejected.
The project calls for the moving
of nine million and six hundred
thousand cubic yards of muc
from the basin area. The rejecting
of the 16 cents per yard bic
means either that new bids wil
be called for or the basin will be
dredged by government vessels.
Despite the fact that bids foi
