They started out expecting to spend a fortune j in buying and clearing the land| I producing and putting out the plants, cultivating, fertilizing and spraying. The blueberry is a crop 'for which you have to wait 3 years or more before a cent come in. They have not been disappoint ed in what they expected to spend on their farm here. At the time they aTe not disturbed over ' what they have put out. Show a news man over the farm " Sundaiy, Mr. Key said, "This land we bought for $18.00 per acre will be Worth $1,500 per acre 4 years from now." ' 1 Thursday and Friday they will need about 40 colored women and girls for berry picking and a small number of white women for grad j ing and packing. With new acre- ] I age coming on next year 'and the' old acreage getting much more in production they will need a much larger force in June, 1950 When the entire acreage is plant ed and in full bearing all of the available Southport labor will be able to make good wages over a period of some weeks during the dullest part of the year. A fairly good picker should easily be able to fill 25 pints pfer hour. The berries are about as large is the tip of a man's fin ger and they grow in thick clus ters. . . ? COMPLETE $URVEY Qoritiitaed From Page One education now has these buildings in better shape than the average county school building. They are kept fairly well painted and re paired, but they need more such attention and all of them need j new heating plants, in addition j to mor6 class -rooms." More class rooms is a pressing problem, according to Superinten dent Denning-. Southport needs ! two additional rooms; Bolivia ! needs 3; Leland should have 5; Waccamaw 4 or 5; Shallotte, ser- ! ving two townships, is in need of around 8 mote 'rooms.' Although the results of the in vestigation have not been tabulat ed, It seems apparent that Bruns wick county needs a big sum for its White schools. Supt. Denning stated that he hoped that funds for at least some of the needed improvements will be available during the current year. Regarding the negro schools of the county, Dr. N. C. Newbold, head of negro education in North Carolina, is to lie In Brunswick county the last of this month to investigate and determine the needs of these schools.

He indicated that the outlook for Christianity in China was promising despite the advance of godless Communism, and cit ed examples of the tremendous influence Christians have in China today despite the fact that Chris tianity is still the* minority faith in that great land. Rev. H. M. Baker presided at the meeting and recognized the visitors and pastors present. Miss Beverly Neilson, daughter of the Rev. Mr. jack Neilson who was formerly pastor at Southport, is working in Brunswick County this summer in the Vacation Bible School program. HOMECOMING DAY IS "(ContlriueO rrbra Page One) Day queen and members of her court were riding; and another was the entry torm Long Beach, presenting a typical beach scene. The winner was the entry of the Southport Woman's Club, depict ing a garden . scene. The parade ended up near the bandstand in franklin Square, and soon this was the center of activity. Following the invocation by C9I. Ivan L. Bennett, U. S. Army, chaplain, the band played and the audience joined in sing ing "America". Words of wel come were spoken by City At torney. S. B, Frink, filling in dur ing the absence of Mayor H. A. Livingston. A fitting response was given by George W. Warren, lieutenant-comm aider in the U"; S. Naval Reserve and one-time executive officer at the Section Base. Prizes for the beautification contest sponsored during the past year by the Southport Home De monstration Clubs were then awarded by Miss Corinne Green, home demonstration agent. First place winner was Mrs. L. J. Har dee, who received a cash award of $100.00. Second prize of $25.00 went to Mrs. H. T. Bowmer. Mrs. C. F. Sutherland was third place winner and Miss Edna Dosher was fourth. Next feature of the program was crowning of the Homecoming Day queen, Miss Doris Swan, by Congressman F. Ertel Carlyle. The queen Was surrounded by her court, and" fitting tribute was paid to these young ladies.' t T.' Yaskell, fdrmer Southport postmaster, Served as master of ceremonies as various distinguish ed guests were recognized, in cluding Admiral Farley.' Finally, Postmaster Wilbur Dosher, a native of Southport, introduced Congressman Carlyle as the principal speaker of the occasion. The Congressman spoke seriously to his audience in a brief address as he pleaided with them for an ' expression of their wishes In matters of ' important legis lation. "If you will takd time out of our busy activities to drop 'file ah occasional postcard, then 1 shall kndw what you think, and I can .serve you better in the Congress of the United States." Congressman Carlyle, who had been largely instrumental in ob taining various service activities to help with the day's program said that he has found the armed forces just as anxious to be of service to the people during time of peace as they are in time of war. He referred to the presence of 'the USS Jeffers, of the military band and of the U. S. Coast Guard heliocopter. The band played several num bers at the conclusion of this program as hundreds of guests lined up for a tour through the Southport high school gymnasium past the tables laden with good things to eat. it is a commentary upon the good judgement of the women in charge that the food and the people gave out about the same time, and that no visitor went away hungry, even though more than two thousand were fed. During the afternoon visitors amused themselves in. various activities. Among the more fea tures was the band concert played by the Camp Jackson boys on the veranda of the Community Building.' During this time the Coast GUard crash boat was mak ing steady trips to ahd from the Jeffers with hundreds of visitors who wished to board this warship , which had such a distinguished war record. At 6:30 o'clock a buffet supper was served for visitors, princi pally for out-of-town service men; and at 8 o'clock there was a smoker at the Legion Room for non-commissioned officers and en listed personnel. The dance began at 8:30 o'clock with one of the largest crowd? ever to attend an event 'of this kind in the Community Building. Music waS by Vtfgil West and his orchestra and brought a fit ting climax to a gala day in the life of Southport. Crawford L. Rourk, adjutant of the Brunswick County Post No. 194, American Legion, served as ' general Chairman ' of the Home1 eoming Day celebration'.' He re ceived able ' assistance in making plans and preparations from E. R. Weeks and S. B. Frink. Mrs. Josie Easley is president of the Southport Home Demonstration club and upon her shoulders fell ; the responsibility for much of the planning and many of the working details. Not to be over loked in the matter of* credit Was Chas. M. Trott, who undertook j the preparation of a big wash | pot full of clam chowder, which j for .many proved to be the tast iest treat on the varied menu. As in and event where so many people did so much work to con tribute to the success of a com mon cause, it is impossibly to give J proper recognition to everyone who helped.
