DREDGING BEGINS
ON RIVER CHANNEL
Work Is Expected To Last
Year To Bring River
To 32 Feet
Dredging work began this morn
ing on a $592,000 project to re
store the Cape Fear river channel
to a 32 foot level. The work, which
is expected to last a year, is be
ing done by the dredge Pennsyl
vania, sub-contractors to the Mc
Williams Dredging corporation of
New Orleans.
Beginning at the Brunswick
river and preceeding to the mouth
of the Cape Fear river, the dredg
ing work will scoop out tons oi
mud from the channel and rein
state it to its former level.
After completing this stretch,
more dredging work will be done
—- 11 .. ■ 1,1 ' — I
on the Brunswick river, deepen
ing the “shipturn” and the basin.
The work is now in full force.
Before the contract was award
ed March 20, six companies sub
mitted bids. The;- ranged from
0901,000 asked by the Hendryz
company of Tampa, Fla., to the
$592,000 bid by McWilliams. The
McWilliams estimate was some
$90,000 below that of the Wil
mington District Engineers office,
which awarded the contract.
■ At the time the contract was
given o the McWilliams corpor
ation, officials expressed hopes
of using their own dredges. Later,
however, they sub-contracted with
the dredge Pennslyvania to do the
dredging work.

TO HELP YOU WIH
First, read these sensational facts about
Swift’s Bland Lard. They explain why we
have decided to give this remarkable short
ening a new name that really does it justice.
And they’ll help you get ideas for a good last line
to the jingle.
TASTELESS, ODORLESS. Special refining methods
make this creamy new-type lard completely bland.
CREAMS EASILY. Yes, this lard makes grand cakes.
It’s tasteless, odorless, and creamable.
DEEP-FRIES WITHOUT SMOKING. The smoke point
of Swift’s Bland Lard is even higher than that of
costliest shortenings.
NEEDS NO REFRIGERATION. A patented Swift proc
ess keeps this amazing lard fresh at room temper
ature. It’s always easy to work with.
MAKES EXTRA FLAKY PIECRUST. Scientific tests
prove that pastry made with Swift’s Bland Lard is
extra flaky.
NUTRITIOUS! DIGESTIBLE! No other shortening is
more digestible than Swift’s Bland Lard. And it
contains two vital nutritional elements in superior
quantity to shortenings of other types.
Now, read the jingle carefully and start thinking
about a last line. Your line should rhyme with the
word "by”. For example: "No praise can be too
high”; or "For perfect cakes and pie”. It’s a good
idea to make a list of words that rhyme with "by”.
And it’s easy—there are lots of rhyming words.
