Hodges Supports Vitality For CD RALEIGH — North Carolina Civil Defense officials are suffer ing no delusions about the fact that a great many communities in the state are not prepared to cope with disaster, either enemy caused or from the forces of na ture, state director, Edward F. Griffin said in disclosing that re newed' intensive effort to change the situation is underway. Under a cover letter from Gov ernor Hodges, council chairman, copies of a new “Guide to Local Civil Defense Planning and De velopment”, recently published by the North Carolina Council of Civil Defense have been sent to governing officials of every coun ty, city and town, and to local Civil Defense directors. “Communities share an equal responsibility with the federal and state governments in survival planning and planning for natural disaster. It is impossible for the latter to go into your community with adequate facilities and per sonnel to establish your Civil De fense organization,” Governor Hodges said. “I strongly urge all communities which are not cooperating at present to establish such organi zations without further delay. It should be done for the best se curity of your community, our state and our nation.” AGE REQUIREMENT Continued From Page One another state in accordance with the law's or regulations of the school authorities of such state before moving to and becoming a resident of North Carolina, such child will be eligible for en rollment in the schools of this State regardless of whether such child has passed the sixth anni versary of his birth before Oc toberl.

THRILLING ACCOUNT v Continued From Page One When I got back to the tackle shop, George was putting the finishing touches on a sleek look ing outboard runabout he had just cleaned up. "Load your stuff in that gray boat over there,” he said, punt ing to a trim little skiff which was pulled halfway out of the water. We were loaded and on our way in a jiffy. We moved out into the river channel and George pointed the bow toward Fort Caswell. We made one brief stop at a spot where George claim- he catches trout in the winter. "It’s a little early for trout, but I always like to give them a try,” he said, with a grin Soon we were heading for Cedar Creek and tarpon. As we neared the area, ! no ticed George scanning the water with his experienced eyes. Something flashed from She wa ter directly in front of Us and George’s finger pointed. j’Tnat’s tarpon,” he shouted. Before we had anchore l the boat, we saw two more tarpon. I was so excited, I coutri ard ly tie the leader of my fig I finally got my bait [in the NEW FORDS FOR SALE or TRADE. — RELIABLE USED CARS UNLIMITED STOCK FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE ?ep. CAPE FEAR MOTOR SALES,—Wilmington, N. C. IN SOUTHPORT and BRUNSWICK COUNTY. Test-Drive A New Ford. See Me Before You Buy! SAM T. BENNETT Office At Franklin Park Motor Court SOUTHPORT, N. C. TOWERING RUINS of Roman days are the background for a series of music festivals held in Lebanon. Featured are world renown musicians who come to play in the International Festi val of Baalbeck in the “city of the sun.” The ruins include the 2,000 years old temples to Bacchus and Jupiter. water, and settled back, anxious ly awaiting some action. The time passed, and the tide began . falling more rapidly. I became restless, and I could see my chances fading with the falling tide. “I don’t think they’re going to bite.” George smiled. “How do you know, you haven’t given them a good chance yet,” he assured me. I heard the faint sound of an airplane engine. It grew louder and then I saw a familiar Piper Cub coming across Baldhead—it wras Hall Watters' plane. Hall circled low and called to us on his loud speaker. I had talked to him about the tarpon several days before. “You got that boat loaded with tarpon,” Hall chided. On the second pass, Hall said, “George! George! Can you hear me?” George waved his hand. “George, I have a twenty pound drum in the plane. Do you want it?” George waved his hand again. "Sure I want it,” George said, laughing. Hall pulled out of the steep bank and headed in the direction of Southport. George and T were talking about what nice fellows Hall and his brother Robert are, when sud denly a giant tarpon rolled be tween our boat and my float. “You’d better get ready,” George cautioned. I had the rod firmly in my hands when the cork went out of sight. The reel screamed as yard after yard of line spun off. George and I both stood up. "Let him have plenty of line,” George advised. The reel was on free spool and the line continued to roll off. “Now!” George called, “Take him now!" X flipped the reel in gear, clamped my thumb on the spool and horsed back on the rod with all my might. It failed to turn the tarpon and failed also to slow -him down, because the line continued coming off the reel just as it had when I had it on free spool. I expected the big fish to take to the air, but it defied the con ventional and made a lung to ward the boat instead. I reeled as fast as I could. “Keep a tight line,” George said. “I can’t George, he's coming too fast.’’ When it was within 20 yards of the boat, the tarpon cut to our left, and I felt the hook pull from its mouth. X stood there, shaking with nervous excitement, and a little sick to my stomach for losing the prize. George consoled me with talk of hooking another one, but I knew the fishing was over for the clay. “Let’s go in,” I said. George cranked up and we headed for the row of prominent ly white buildings along the west ern shore. As the pitch of excitement be gan to surside, my disappoint ment faded and I began to realize that it had been fun—great fun. I had a good fish tale to tell, and already I could feel a slow burn inside, that would stay with me until I could visit Southport again and give the tarpon an; other try.
