THURSDAY,' DECEMBER 15, 1921,; STONE IS TEMPORARY FISH INSPECTOR HERE Permanent Appointment of J. II. Stone is Predicted by Freeman t ALUMNI FELLOWSHIP j ; OF C. E. IS FORMED ! First of Kind in State Formed by Presbyterians Here With three counties interested in the appointment of a fish inspector and Vith any number of candidates, proo bly the foremost of whom is J. R. Kennedy, nominee of the New Han over County Democratic Executive committee, clamoring for the place, :t was learned last nlsrht that J. H. Stone, of this city, operator of an Independent boatline, was named temporary inspec tor by State Fish Inspector Nelson on Thursday of last week. On top, of this information comes a statement said to have emanated from R. H. Freeman, Wilmington member of the State Fisheries commission, that Mr. Stone has been named as -perma nent fish inspector for New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender counties by Commissioner Nelson. Mr. Stone stated last night that while he had received notice of his temporary appointment, be had not yet been officially notified f the permanent appointment, which Mr. Freeman is said on good authority to have made public yesterday. It is believed, however, that Mr. Stone is to receive the appointment of ficially in the course of the next few days, It probably having been delayed in the mails. Mr. Stone operates freight and pas senger boats between this city and Southport and also a line making ports on the coast of South Carolina. He rs well known in this section and it is "believed that he is admirably fitted for the ppeition for which he will probably be officially named before the end of the week. The office was made vacant on the resignation of William J. Montgomery, Mr. Montgomery having resigned, it :s said, to give his entire time to the in terests of a truckers association in this county. At a supper held in the memorial hall of the First Presbyterian church Tuesday night under the auspices of the New Hanover Christian Endeavor Uniqn an Alumni Fellowship was form ed, "and the following officers wer elected to serve for the ensuing year: Fred E.

This was the first Alumni Fellowship organized in North Carolina Christian Endeavor circles. About 34 enrolled as charter members and it was de cided to allow those making applica tion for membership before January 1st to become charter members. The meeting was preceded by, a junior Christian Endeavor rally in the after noon. At 8 o'clock a mass meeting of all the societies in the union was held at which the retiring officers made reports and upon recommendation of the nom inations committee the following offi cers were elected for the coming year: B. B. Reynolds, president; J. B Woodburo vice-president; M. M. Hin- nant, secretary; M. . J. Shuffler, treas urer. . At this meeting Frank P.

He reviewed the growth of Rotary in mc hclol iwo years and told of a few of the instances of exceptional public I oervice rendered oy clubs in ether cities.
