Nature’s Non (Continued from page 2) mysterious as it is in other respects, it shows itself as easily the lovliest and most hospitible of all the orbs in our solar system. Oddly, it won’t be observed in skyward procession with the rest, but just beneath our feet—the planet called Earth! What about the weather? A thin haze or scattered cirrus clouds may enhance the coloration of the event, but a full overcast will obliterate all the exquisite details. Even so, the darkness itself will be more profound. Typical early-March weather over SENCland dictates only about a 50-50 chance of clear conditions. Caprice, calamity and carnage earmark most of the newsworthy dealings of Nature with man. Not so this time. This is her finest non-violent demonstration! Totality will end only too soon as the “beads” reappear, the corona fades and the eclipse departs in reverse manner as it came. As light creeps back over the land, folks will again find themselves caught up in the nitty-gritty doings and harrying* hangups of life the way it was before. But the spectacle of March 7 will provide a conversation piece for a long time to come. And in distant years yet to be, today’s young swingers will peer back mistily from the far side of their generation gap and reminisce fondly to their grandchildren about a late winter day back in ’70 when that big light in the sky suddenly went out. Lift up your eyes on high, And behold who hath cre ated these (things)... Isaiah 40:26 Hurricane Hunters Had Record Year Despite a year of record devastation, hurricane hunting is paying off. Last year was the most damaging hurricane season in United States history, though far from the most deadly. But man may be close to easing the hurricane’s menace. Property damage soared to $1,421 billion in 1969. All of it was the work of the only storm to hit the United States, Camille, which lashed the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Alabama with 200-mile-an-hour winds, then ripped north to flood Virginia hill country. Farm Bureau Aids Scholars “The season of the year has come for us to accept applications for the Farm Bureau H. Flake Shaw Memorial Scholarship Loans. These loans are made for up to four years, provided a student is regularly-enrolled in school and is making satisfactory grades,” announced Ira L. Chadwick, president of the Brunswick County Farm Bureau today. “Each loan will be for $500 each school year. Eligibility requirements are: (1) need for financial assistance, (2) satisfactory scholastic record, (3) leadership potential, (4) character. Preference will be given to Farm Bureau family members,” said Chadwick. “Applications must be submitted to county Farm Bureaus for screening by April 1. The County Scholarship Committee must forward their recommendations to the State Committee by April 15. The State Committee will meet and make the final selections on May 1. “There will be no interest payable on these scholarship loans until the participant is in a position to have his or her own income. Repayments should start by the end of the first year after finishing school,” said Chadwick. “Funds will be advanced periodically on the school’s schedule of payments,” he said. “Remember that the applicants must study some phase of Home Economics or Agriculture,” said Chadwick. “If you have a young man or woman in our schools who is interested in making applications for one of these scholarship loans for the 1970-71 school year, let us know and we will be glad to send application and nomination forms to you,’ concluded Chadwick. Camille, though far from the worst killer hurricane to ravage the United States, claimed 285 lives. The toll might have been a thousand higher without the warnings that alerted 75,000 persons to flee the coast, according to Robert H. Simpson, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami. “People have never been warned so well or so often,” he says. Hurricane hunters spotted Camille soon after it was spawned as a mere tropical storm off the coast of West Africa. They tracked it by plane, radar, and satellite television as it picked up steam, swirling across the Atlantic, the Caribbean, and into the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf Coast received 12 hours warning. In 1900 a hurricane slammed into Galveston, Texas, with little notice, taking 6,000 lives. Besides providing better warning, hurricane hunters of Project Stormfiiry have been flying their planes into the teeth of these most dreaded storms to leam how to tame them. After the 1969 experiments, they believe they now know how to blunt a hurricane’s bite. Dr. Cecil Gentry, head of the National Hurricane Research Laboratory in Miami, says the plans dropped silver iodide crystals near the center or “eye” of hurricane Debbie, causing the wind to drop briefly from 113 to 78 miles an hour. Law Enforcement Unit Receives Aid A law enforcement planning unit organized by the 1 Southeastern Economic Development Commission (SEDC) has received over $45,000 in the past twelve months. Almost a year ago, the Southeastern Economic Development Commission hosted a meeting in Elizabethtown for all the law enforcement offices within the ten counties of the Southeastern Economic Development District. The purpose of die meeting was One Per Cent Drivers Are 75 Licensed drivers in the 25-34 age group dominate the highways of North Carolina, according to the latest figures compiled by the Department of Motor Vehicles. As of January 1, 1970, more than 22.6 percent of all Tar Heel motorists fall into this young adult category. Slightly more than 317,800 of those drivers are male, while 278,699 are female. Department figures show that 1.88 per cent of the drivers are 16, and that 17-year-olds account for 2.51 per cent of the driving population. At the opposite end of the scale, drivers between 65 and 75 make up 4.58 per cent of the state’s motorists, while those 75 and above represent the lowest percentage—1.15. There is a steady increase in the number of drivers up to age 34, and a steady decline beginning with the 35-44 age group. While women outnumber men in the state’s population, the men still out-distance the women on the streets and highways. Of North Carolina’s 2,635,487 licensed drivers, 1,477,916, or 56.08 percent, are male, while female licensed drivers number 1,157,571, or 43.92 per cent. Nationally, 58.1 per cent of the licensed drivers are male. What the world needs most is a little time to think it over. The chip many people carry on their shoulders is just bark. ;o explain the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Street Act. Under this act passed by Congress in June, 1968, funds ire provided to the State in a slock grant. Local law mforcement planning units are eligible for a 90 per cent grant ’or planning and a grant up to 75 per cent for project implementation. Subsequent to the initial meeting, four counties—Bruns wick, Bladen, Columbus, and Sampson—requested the Southeastern Economic Development Commission to assist them in organizing law enforcement planning. SEDC sponsored a meeting of the law-enforcement officials of the four counties, and the Southeastern Law Enforcement Council was formed. James W. Willis, Chief of Police in Southport, was elected president of the council; and John B. Allen, sheriff of Bladen county, was elected financial officer. SEDC also assisted in preparing the essential budget for the council and provided guidance in securing aa consultant, Joseph B. Chandler, Jr., an Elizabethtown attorney. Application Is Not Necessary Social security beneficiaries need not apply for the 15 percent benefit increase just signed into law by President Nixon. “Every one of the 25 million men, women and children now on the benefit rolls will receive the increase automatically,” Robert M. Ball, Commissioner of social security, said this week. “The first regular check in the new amount,” Commissioner Ball said, “will arrive April 3, the usual day for delivery of benefit checks covering payments for the month of March.” A separate check in the amount of the benefit increase for the months of January and February will reach beneficiaries later in April, probably during the week of April 20. Refiguring the benefit amounts of the 25 million men, women, and children now on the benefit rolls is a tremendous task, Commissioner Ball pointed out, and it must be done without disrupting the regular benefit payment cycle. CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF MILTON J. BOWEN The office of Sheriff is no place for a man without previous experience in law enforcement. It will be unfair to the citizens of Brunswick county to elect a man to this important post who is with out previous training and experience. Now is the time for the voters to make an investigation into the qualifications of the men now seeking the Democratic nomination for Sheriff of Brunswick. County. You owe it to yourself and the future welfare of all of our people to support a man who has worked in law enforcement and who has demonstrated an ability to handle the duties of this office._ and BUILDING MATERIAL (0 EVERYTHING YOU NEED FROM FOUNDATION TO ROOF J.M.
