Up until Monday, mostly owing |
to bad weather, the catches of I
blues and mackerel were small in j
both size and number. The fish
that showed up Monday seem to
be entirely new runs, as all of j
them are large. They gave the j
sportsmen plenty of thrill with j
their vicious striking.
Holiday Safety j
To Be Stressed
1
Highway Patrolman Urges j
Motorists To Observe Law
And Help Make This A ?
Safe Fourth Of July
The week end especially with
the 4th of July falling on Monday
is expected to draw thousands
to the Brunswick county beaches.
As usual for such events the pos
sibilities of automobile wrecks, in
juries and possible deaths are
not to be overlooked.
State Highway Patrolman J. C. i
Pierce said Monday that he and j
other officers hated to put a |
damper on anybody's holiday
spirits. Nevertheless, they have to
recognize the increased danger
from crowded roads during the
4th, a danger all the more acute
as a result of speeding and reck
less driving.
He said he will be keeping his
fingers crossed during the holiday
and to save the other man, woman
or child, he will do his best to
see that the speed of cars is kept
within the law. Other officers in
Brunswick Gets I
Wide Coverage
Summary Of Circulation Of
Stories Pertaining To This
County Furnished From
State News Bureau
Largely as a result of the co
operation of the State Port Pilots
Rovin' Reporter with the State
News Bureau and its Bill Sharpe,
Carl Sink, and John Hemmer,
Brunswick county came in for
some wonderful publicity during i
the first six months of the year
1949.
John Hemmer is the crack |
State News Bureau cameraman,
working under Director Bill I
Sharpe. Carl Sink is not so well
known, but it should be said for
him that he is one of the best
feature writers in North Carolina.
All Three of the men, Bill
Sharpe, Carl Sink and John Hem
mer, are personal friends of W.
B. Keziah and have been for
many years. The publicity that
has been coming to Brunswick
this year is best summed up or
described in a personal letter
written by Mr. Sharpe to W. B.
Keziah on June 23rd. The letter
follows in full:
"Dear Bill:
"In compiling our six months
report, I ran across this data and
I think it may be of interest to
you.
"In the period January 1, 1949
to June 21, 1949, a total of 1,949
stories about Brunswick county
appeared in out-of-state publica
tions that have a total reader
ship of 31,757,040.
"This does not include stories
on fires, crime, accidents, politics,
and so on, but includes only
material of a promotional nature.
It does not include filler material.
"With best wishes,
"Bill Sharpe"
Mr. Keziah says that of the
above mentioned 1,949 stories the
three for which there was great
est demand were the Reigel
the county expressed the same
opinion. It is likely that the
speeders will get very fittlfe con
sideration from this ?fficecB this
week-end.
Paper Company Brahma cattle,
pictures and story; pictures and J
stories of John Fernside and his
pack of bear hounds; and the
stories and pictures of the Ever- j
ett H. Sheppard tomato plant J
growing industry on the. River
Road. The tomato plant story j
and pictures are just now getting I
well started among the public- '?
ations.
The local man is always on the |
alert for. anything of picture or I
promotional story interest to de
velop in Brunswick. When such
matters bob up and are of gener
al interest hurried calls are made
on Bill Sharpe and he promptly
| sends Hemmer down to get the i
| picture part of the story.
