He plans to grow this and other truck crops for retail trade at the beaches. BIRTHDAY PARTY Continued From Page One of weeks. In this first construction work at the camp there is a fine hu man interest story. The lumber and all material were donated by Wilmington and Acme people. Frederick Murray, a Wilmington contractor, drew the plans and >6 supervising the construction, j Twelve carpenters and other ?, craftsmen, all supplied by Uniong, in Wilmington, are doing the' building. Neither Mr. Murray or any j other workers are receiving a1 cent from the Girl Scouts. They j donated their time for the first1 building. In fact, according to Mrs. R. H. Holden, chairman of the camp construction committee, everything in material and labor for the first building and much for others planned, is being given free by a liberal public that is deeply interested in the young girls of the four counties having a healthy outdoor camp on a beautiful lake. The Girl Scouts from Columbus and Pender did not attend this first birthday party at the lake, although it is understood that they plan to take an active part in camp activities. , Twenty of the Southport Scouts and their officials were present and had a wonderful time. The New Hanover Scouts turned out strong and seven buses and a number of cars were required for their transportation. At the 11 o'clock meeting the Winter Park troop was awarded a beautiful silver loving cup, donated by Eaton Jewelers, of Wilmington, to the troop selling the most cookies in the recent annual cookie sale. In this sale the girls disposed of more than 12,000 boxes of cookies, with the twelve cents profit on each box going into the camp building fund. The presentation of the cup was made by Mrs. R. H. Holden, chairman of the camp construction committee. The Winter Park troop leader was so happy over the work done by her girls that she cried when the cup was pre sented. Mrs. B. M. Jones, Jr., Executive Director of the Girl Scout Coun-! When Southport high school played Thursday at Topsail, four regular men on the local nine were absent. They were the catch er, short-stop, left fielder and pitcher. The day before they had failed to turn out for practice and for discipline they were re quested to turn in their uniforms for some one else to use. The coach has a theory he would rather play and lose than to play without discipline and have a bet ter chance at winning. In this case there was no loss. Other re gulars and substitutes carried on for 11 inning game that resulted in a tied score of six-all. We be lieve the four boys who were left at home regretted not being there to do their bit. Their regret would have been still stronger If their school had lost out because they broke training rules. Beginning when school is out and keeping' up continuously un til it reopens in the fall, Pretty cil, had charge of the 11 o'clock meeting. She and all other of ficials present were very happy in the ownership of Pretty Pond. The Rovin' Reporter (Continued from page on?) el's Point will continue to grow and become increasing^ popular I with folks who like inside fishing, j Our Smith-Douglas calendar ] is marked to have plenty of bait1 ready for April 21st when Jerry I Ball, press and pubilc relations J man for the Standard Oil Comp- J any comes down from Charlotte I to stage a show, with every cent taken in going to the fire truck fund for the Volunteer Pire De partment. Jerry will get a big kick out of helping the unpaid Fire Department in buying their new truck. In part we aim to re ward him for his efforts by tak ing him fishing somewhere. No body can afford to miss seeing Jerry at the show. The rest of the time he is here he will be fishing with us.
