Effective July 24, said. Chief Don Stovall, "he is the assistant chief and will be responsible for the operation of the department in my absence."

He has the longest tenure with the department of its current five-person force and was one of three candidates considered for the chiefs position. He is the first person since William i Hankins to hold the rank of lieutenant within the department. Hankins resigned in May 1983.

First-Day BY SUSAN USHF.R Local tobacco farmers went to market wan.- of prices as Border Belt sales began Tuesday in the Carolinas. But Milton Coleman, Brunswick County Agricultural Extension Chairman, was optimistic Tuesday after attending the first sale of the day in Whiteville, at Columbus County Warehouse. "What 1 saw this morning was good tobacco selling good," said Coleman. "1 didn't see a lot of people turning their tags or the cooperative taking a lot of tobacco." That means most growers were taking the prices offered by buyers. Mid-stalk grades C5L and C4L were running as much as $2 per 100 pounds, while low-stalk grades P3I. and P4I. were running about $1.52 or $1.53, said Coleman.

Four local agencies worked with the child's parents to transport the girl to Brunswick Hospital in Supply. At the time of the fall, Shallotte Volunteer Rescue Squad was responding to another call, so the family decided to transport the child in their personal vehicle, with Ocean Isle Policeman James Stewart providing a squad ear escort.

"That reflects the concern over prices," he said. "Everyone is naturally apprehensive about what may occur." While acknowledging his observations were based on one sale only, Coleman predicted an average sales price of less than $1.50 per hundred pounds.

There they were met by ambulance driver Greg White of the rescue squad and Brunswick County Sheriff's Deputy Ronald Hewett of Shallotte.

No emergency medical technicians (EMTs) with the rescue squad were available, said Hewett. and the am lesitant Leaf < per 100 pounds, $4.90 cents less than last year. Coleman described the Brunswick County crop as in "excellent condition," especially when compared with 1984. However, Columbus County officials said their farmers are several weeks behind in harvesting. The Georgia and Florida markets opened their season last week, avraging $135.10 per 100 pounds.

"I think it was a good one." "The Ocean Isle Beach and Shallotte police departments, Brunswick County Sheriffs Department and Shallotte Volunteer Rescue Squad all really pulled together," said Hewett.

Many farmers, however, took advantage of an opportunity to lease across county lines last year when special permission to do so was granted after Hurricane Diana. "A lot of growers, rather than having a severely interrupted cash flow, leased to ease their cash problems. In most cases it was a good management decision," Coleman added.
