the sun at Long Beach, building:
houses and selling them. In July
he will go tO the tobacco market,'
a big booster for Long Beach and
seasoned against the heat he en
counters.
We still think and will go on
thinking?meaning that we are
unalterably convinced that the
hundreds of beach lot owners at j
the various resorts in Brunswick j
county can do nothing wiser than
to erect homes as soon as possible.
Take Long Beach, for example.
If as few as 10 percent of the
people who own vacant lots there
were to build homes, it would
mean around 75 new residences.
This applies pretty much the 1
same to Caswell Beach. Holden i
Beach and various other beaches
that form the beautiful Bruns
wick county coastal playground.
The need as many as possible
of the Brunswick beach property
owners to build homes, if they
want to profit by what they own
and hope to see their beach grow.
Quincy Scarborough, Fayette
ville lad who is spending the
summer at Long Beach, is a great
collector of birds. Catching them j
while young he trains them and
keeps them as pets. In addition
to a great number of other birds.
Quincy and two other Fayette
ville boys have two red tail
hawks, one red shoulder hawk,
two great horned owls, one coop
er hawk and two crows. Some
of these birds are in process of
being trained to hunt. At present
the boys are very anxious to get
some young coojter hawks and
crows. Any Brunswick folks who
know of a still active cooper
hawk or crow nest, that means
with the young still in it, will
be doing the boys a big favor if
they will write Quincy at South
port advising where such nests
can be found. He will pay for
the trouble.
N. W. Blake of the Wanet
Farms, on Route 1, Leland, has
75 acres in hybrid corn, from
which he expects to get an aver
age of 75 bushels to the acre. He
stated this week that this corn
was looking mighty nice and
that with good weather for the
rest of the maturing season it
would live up to expectations.
Mr. Blake kind of lost out on cu
cumbers this year. He planned 40
acres and produced a good crop, j
Unfortunately his crop his the
market at the time of a slump I
in prices. The Wanet Farms are
right on the Cape Fear river in I
Northwest township.
We felt pleased when Mrs. Lou
H. Smith came around last week
and told us that when she goes,
back at her old home in Sumter,1
S. C., she Is going to look for
ward to reading this column j
every week. To her it will be a
letter from home.
Saying that he knew we were!
on our feet a lot, our good
friend, Coy C. McCuiston, hosiery!
manufacturer of Burlington,'
brought us six pairs of socks j
from his own factory Monday. I
Mr. McCuiston owns a home at
Caswell Beach and his family i
spends the summers there, while
he comes down for week ends.
His socks are even more appre
ciated than the watermelons that
others of our friends forgot to
bring us.
Several of our friends among
the State Highway Patrolmen
say that too many car and truck
owners are overlooking the mat
ter of taking their machines to
the Inspection Lane when it fills
its dates in this county. The j
result may be that a lot of own-!
ers may find themselves in a
last minute rush that will cause
them to get left. The next sche
duled dates for the lane to be
in Brunswick county is August
11-12 at Shallotte and August 14
16 at Southport.

send their families to spend the1
summer and where they can per
sonally take a vacation for one
or two weeks. But they canncf
afford to leave their work and
spend weeks supervising the
building of houses.
This week a prominent up-state
doctor who owns beach property!
in Brunswick county said to &
newsman: "Get us a reliable
builder who can buy material at
wholesale and thereby lessen some
of the present costs; a man who
will deliver turn-key jobs with-1
out a lot of extras to double the;
estimated cost and we will build I
homes at a rate that will sur
prise you."
Owners of two different beach |
developments have spoken about
the same need within the past
week.

this week, R. W., Jr., invited the
newsmen to go for a sail. Know
ing in advance that a pretty
strong and fresh wind was blow
ing from the northeast and be
ing alergic to swimming with all J

hurriedly made use of the same
excuse he invented ten days ago I
when E. DJ Bishop, of Shallotte,
invited him for a plane ride to
Myrtle Beach and back over the
Brunswick beaches on a windy
day. J
One thing: is sure, the Mermaid i
being here and constantly on the;
water will start up the interest
of a lot of other young- fellows
in sailing, not to mention the
interest of quite a few girls. Be

why it's important to answer calls promptly. t
It's also important when you're doing the calling,
to allow a minute for your party to reach the
