Sportsmen Get Many Rockfish Stripers Attracting Interest Of Fishermen Who Have Enjoyed Unusually Good Luck So Far The big attraction at Holden Beach the past week has been strip er fishing up Lockwroods Folly river, with one of the favored spots being between the fish hous es and Varnum's Landing. Bill Grady, Holden Beach storekeeper, says that the outlook is for fine J fishing all winter, except during unreasonable weather. Pr. R. H. Holden, proprietor of the Ocean View Tavern at Holden j Beach, Is also enthuasistic about; this fishing and the sportsmen that j it brings in from a distance. Dr. i Holden thinks that Brunswick peo-j pie have never been really aware ' of what a winter-time sport thel stripers offer. The fact that onlyj a few have been caught during j past winters is largely due, he | thinks, to the fact that nobody knew of their presence or how to fish for them. j Among catches made this past week by guests out from the Oce |an View Tavern was C. A. Lewis j of High Point, with three that i weighed 12, 14 and 15 pounds. A. J Salisbury party, whose names we were unable to learn caught five of the fighters Thursday. These fish ranged "from ten pounds up, the top one going to 25-pounds. Two six pound trout were also j caught by this party while trailing for the stripers. j Bill Edmund of Chadbourn took a two-days filing at the stripers | and he and his party took a large 1 number of the fish, averaging j close to 15-pounds each. Eugene j Porter, Jr., a 13-year old boy with this party, got one 15-pounder and another that weighed 9-pounds. Anybody who has ever caught a LAST MINUTE . . .

For Several Weeks With Shrimp Trawlers; Will Bring Them Back I For Fishing Dallas Pigott, who is spending several weeks in ' St. Augustine, .Fla., while three , of the Pigott boats are fishing down their spent the week-end at his home here. The fishing has been fairly good, I according to Mr. Pigott. However (he expects to be back with the j boats by Christmas to take up winter fishing in the gulf. There have been some plans for the Lewis J. Hardee boats to also go to Florida until it gets cold enough for fishing in the gulf j from Southport, but with only a short time from now until cold weather, it is understood that the ! Hardee boats may remain here and ; continue shrimping until the | weather make fishing more at tractive. The outlook is for about j 20 boats to engage in winter fish- 1 ing from here when the cold set9[ ! in. All are large craft, capable of | jgoing out in almost any sort of1 j weather and remaining for two orj [three days and nights. j Trouble Brewing For Operators 1 E, F And G Drivers Appear To Be Heading Into Last Minute Rush As They De lay Examinations | Several hundred Brunswick J county automobile operators whose names begin with E, F, or G have failed to apply for their new auto-| mobile driving license and a serious rush appears to be lomming fori the last few days. j The examiner is at Southport each Monday and at Shallotte each j Tuesday. The deadline for securing i these licenses is January 1st. This means that during the next fourj Mondays at Southport and fourj Tuesday at Shallotte one hundred or more pleople will have to be examined each day, if all get their j license. The trouble seems to be about! everybody seems to be waiting forj the last one of two appointments, the examiner will have. When they come then they will probably have more than a hundred others in line ahead of them. They will have to wait all day and in some in stances some of them just cannot be take'n care of. Instead of a last minute rush that will prevent some people from getting their licenses and which will also subject a lot of others so much annoyance, it would be bet ter to start the rush for license right now, according to Examiner N. E. Hudson. t ON THE BOXER Enlisting in the Army several years before the last war and serv ing throughout the period, Wes ley N. Jphnson, son of Mrs. L. H. Johnson, of Southport, gave up the army for a while after the war- [ ended. But the service appealed to him. He was soon back, this time in the Navy, Recent reports are that he is now serving as a seaman on board the USS Boxer, one of the j bigger aircraft, built during the j I war. The vessel is now operating j joff the west coast. CHURCH SERVICES^! Services will be htto ^ J ing arid evening &t Baptist church Sunday, 1*^71 the morning services at U g J Rev.
