two political parties on the camp

composed of assistants and In
structors in the college; and Phi
Delta Omega, pre-legal fraternity.
Before coming to Wake Forest,
Bennett attended Shallotte High
School and was valedictorian of
the senior class in 1942. Between
June of that year and September
of 1944 when he enrolled at Wake
Forest, he was an employee of
the North Carolina Shipbuilding
Company in Wilmington.
Bennett's chief hobby is a study
of words. He enjoys analyzing
strange and unfamiliar words and
learning their true meanings. He
also thoroughly enjoys speculat
ing and philosophizing on various
and sundry subjects. He is an
avid reader and his favorite au
thors include William Shake
speare, Francis Bacon, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Sinclair Lewis,
and Carl Sandburg. He's quite a
football fan, too, and takes in
nearly every game.

engines and rigging her out is
going forward this week, and soon
she will probably join the Sea
Boys and the Sea Fighter at
fishing off Southport. Work on
a fourth boat for Mr. Hardee has
already commenced.
Pretty authentic reports have
it that Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie Raf
tery, of the Raftery Shows, have
put their property near Leland [
on the market. It is said that they
may establish the shows winter
quarters in Virginia. This, if it
happens, will be bad news to a
great many Brunswick people.
The Raftery's have been fine
citizens, doing all they could for
Brunswick county and for the1
community where they made their j
h^me. If circumstance are making
it impractical to continue using
the' present winter quarters, it is
still hoped by a lot of the best
people in Brunswick that the per
manent home of Mr. and Mrs.
Jimmie Raftery and the winter
quarters of the Raftery Shows'
will remain some where in Bruns-j
wick county.
Paying us the compliment of
saying that she knew we were
fond of very little folks and could
get along with them, a ShalIotte|
lady said to us this week: "Some
time when you have plenty of
time on your hands I wish you
would go by the Shallotte school
and see Mrs. Katie Whit's first
graders. She has taught that
grade for 20 years and children
of some of her original pupils are
now going to school to her."- It
seems from this and much more;
that we have heard that Mrs. {
White has a real way with child
ren. We hope we can get by and
see her young folks before this
session of school ends.
Results of the first year of op
eration of the Brunswick Cold
Storage .at Shallotte seems to
have been very pleasing to the of
ficials and stock holders, accord
ing to D. Carl Andrews, one of
the officials. The plant has be
come established as a great asset
to both farmers and business men
in a wide area and the fact that
it has made good the first year
argues for continued usefulness.
Mr. and Mrs. Richmond Gallo
way of Supply have greatly In
creased their store room space
with the construction of a large
wing out of cinder blocks. The
building provides a great deal of
storage space and is very conven
ient to the main building. In
fact, it is a part of it. The Gal
loway store is one of the oldest
in Brunswick to be operated con
tinuously by the same family.
Congressman C. B. Deane drop
ped in from Long Beach to see
us Sunday. He had a car full of
bright youngsters, seven or eight
of them. However only one of
them was his own. Picking out
an especially bright looking
youngster, nc asKect nim if he
was Mr. Dean's son ? The violent
manner in which the young man
shook his head could easily have
been construed to mean that he
was not-and was glad of it. I
A very friendly personal letter
from one of the candidates for
a top office solicits our support
and influence among the deaf
people of the state. While this
letter is sincere, it fails to create
any favorable reaction, this for
the simple reason that we have
never recognized the deaf as be
ing in a class apart from other
people. The fact that a person
cannot hear not necessarily means
that he is any dumber than half
the people he meets up with every
day. We have no more desire to
work just among the deaf people
than we have to see the deaf peo
ple work just among themselves.
The announcement last week
from the post office department
that Long Beach is to have a post
office as soon as a post master
ancf quarters are secured, is a
very substantial testimonial from
high sources that Long Beach has
been growing, is still growing and
will continue to grow. The new
Brunswick county resort town is
built upon a very substantial
foundation in that it includes
among its property owners hund
reds of prominent citizens of this
and other states.
! Shallotte has one of the best
kept cemeteries that we know of
anywhere in this section. The
folks around there are not sat
isfied with merely cleaing off
their burial place once each year.
They employ a man who puts in
much of his time during each 12
months, keeping the cemetery
clean and In order at all times.
The present move to clean off the
I old Southport cemetery is a fine
one, but it should only be a pre
limary movement towards the
place receiving three or four days
attention during each month of
i the year.
G. V. Barbee, of Wake Forest,
who had an auction sale of 50
residence lots at Long Beach
! Monday, is not disposing of all of
|his property at this rapidly grow-,
i frig resort. As a matter of fact,
I the property disposed of Monday
I embraces only about half of his
j Long Beach holdings. A day or
;two ago Mr. Barbee told us that
he was much interested in the
idea of building a hotel or guest
houses at Long Beach.
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Oliver of
j Southport and Charlotte are
[spending three months in Chicago
where their son, E. L. Oliver, Jr.,
(resides. Rather than change his
! paper from Charlotte to Chicago
i for just three months, Mr. Oliver
; dropped in this week and subscrib
ed for the Son in Chicago.
I Rev. L. Hayman, -Pastor of
j Trinity Methodist church, shipped
lout Tuesday as a greenhorn sail
' or on the tugboat J, E. McAllis
, ter, bound for New York. His
(brother is the Captain of the
McAllister and Brother Hayman
told us ih conference that he ex
pected to be Captain himself by
the time the tug rounded Frying
Pan Shoals. He will be gone ten
; days, he says, visiting his bro
ther who resides in New York.
I When a fellow tells us some-j
i thing nice of another fellftw, it
is a bit hard for us to keep the j
matter to ourself. We were tak-j
ing to J. L. Sprunt, of Orton this
i week, Referring to Bill Hyatt, a
j resident of Southport who is su
i perintendent of plant propogation
at the Orton Nursery, Mr. Sprunt
Isaid: "He is one of the nicest
(and most capable persons I know.
We are fortunate in having him
in our organization."
Mr. and Mrs. Watson Wallace
| of Fayetteville are settled for
I the summer in one of the largest
'and nicest homes at Long Beach,
| this home having been purches
'ed from J. A. Woltz, who already
j had built himself another. Mr.
I Wallace took us upstairs Monday
and gave us a drink of what Mr.
Woltz declared to be the best on
the coast. It locked like, tasted
like and was?clear, sparkling
water. The water was obtained
by drilling to a depth of only 20
feet. After seeing what was pro
duced we are willing to agree
that Mr. Wallace has the best
water on the coast.
Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Holden, of|
Holden's Beach and Shallotte,
were at the Long Beach auction I
sale Monday. They were in
terested spectators of the sale
and to us it was rather amusing
to see the numerous salesman
who came around to ask Dr. Hol
den to buy a lot. As we were
hanging around with the doctor
and his wife we finally got to
telling the salesman that he was
a very poor prospect, as he own
ed 'about a third of a big beach
himself.
Stopping at Thompson McRack
an's Monday afternoon, we ask
ed Mrs. McRackan if she was
going to be glad when Superin
tendent E. D. Bishop gets
through that way with his REA
line, as he is expected to do this
summer. For plain foolishness
that was a $60.00 question. Mrs.
McRackan and a whole lot of
people on the river road are go
ing to be genuinely glad when
the line comes through. Inciden
tly, that line will develop into a
profitable one for the REA.
The way we see it the highest
peak of the spring flower bloom
ing in this area will be reached
within this next week. That is
if no cold spell comes along in the
next day or two to set the plants
back. Recent warm days have
caused practically all of the aza
lea buds to swell to the bursting
stage. Many plants are now in
bloom despite the fact that they
were not expected until around
the 10th of April.
Twenty-two bluefish were
caught off Southport Saturday by
Captain T. H. Watts, his brother,
Donnie Watts and Basil Watts,
son of Captain Watts. The fish
weighed from one and a half to
two and a half pounds each, nils
date, March 27, is said to be the
earliest that these fish have ever
been found off Southport. The
previous early date was April 6th.1
Captain Watts thinks that if the f
weather keeps up there will be,
some fine trolling in another week
or two.
Reminding us that he has been
coming to the Brunswick county!
coast for years to spend his vaca-'
tions when he could get away
from his work as district solictor!
F. Ertel Carlyle, candidate for,
Congress, made a tentative date
this week for us to take him fish
ing. Somehow It appears u
when anybody interests us in
fishing trip everything is gfl|
to be all right.
Chief Engineer W. Vance Ba
and J. A. Bridger, state highw
commissioner. were here li
week. After Mr. Bridger had t<
us that Mr. Baise was the "H
Boss" of the highway works i
asked both of them to come ba<
real soon and go fishing with ?
That seemed to be just what M
Baise was waiting for. At ai
rate, he lost no time in sayii
he would come.
