Cuban Stowaway 1
C*irimmin?r A ell
OVYlllillUUg noil
Mario Tenoria y Hevia, 17, i
a' Cuban, failed in an attempt
to enter the United States illegally
as Brunswick county
officers captured him a few
hours after he had jumped
from the Chilean steamship,
Punta Arenas, and had swum !
ashore at Old Brunswick,
about 17 miles south of Wilmington,
Wednesday morning
The young stowaway was
one of four aboard the large
craft. They boarded it when
it stopped over in Havana,
bound from Valparaiso.
He jumped from the boat
at about 8:30 o'clock and
reached the western bank of
the Cape Fear within a few
minutes. Captain Alfred Ripper
immediately wirelessed
the vessel's agent, the Cape
Fear Shipping company, and
its representatives called on
the Brunswick county officers
to pick the Cuban up.
They found him shortly afterwards
and brought him to
Wilmington.
It was the first time in recent
years that a stowaway
has attempted to enter Wilmington
by quitting his vessel
and swimming ashore.

Fishermen Will

ig
ie Mrs. Gladys B. Proctor,
ERA Administrator For
This District, Announces
Plans For Fishermen's
? I Self-Help Co-operatives
.1 Plans for the ERA Fishermen's j
r/1 Self-Help Co-operatives in Brunsj
wick County are reaching their | s.
] final stages, according to an an- I
as | nouncement made yesterday by
Mrs Gladys B. Proctor, District
ye!??. .j-.;.!.
! J^riA clU unman a.cv/1.
,e At the present time, Mrs. Proc-1
11 tor said, a survey is being made '
jn ; so that the Raleigh ERA office ; IV
le J will have complete records be-1
s i fore the plan for the fishermen!
iis finally put into operation. John
I Sikes, ERA publicity man in
i charge of the fishermen's progr
j gram, has spent the past few fc
weeks in Maine studying the
j methods used there for the pack,
*! ing, preserving and merchandis- s'
;ing of fish. E
"n j The Fishermen's Self-Help Co- di
(operatives, as they were explain- w
? ed by Mr. Sikes a few weeks ago,
are an attempt to bring the bene- s'
(fits of the New Deal to fishermen
(who lack adequate facilities for
P marketing their product.- The cl
fishermen will form a co-opera- '
I tive company with a share of r;
| stock for each member. The ERA |
I will then erect plants in which
I fish can be frozen, canned and
I packaged so that they will have .
a year-round sale and thus allow
fa more consistent margin of proI
fit to the fisherman. The ERA'S jsc
; advances will be paid back by |
I the fishermen out of the profits
that should accrue from more
f efficient methods of merchandis-1 lrl
ing.
According to Mro. Proctor, the i
plan is so large in its scope, in- I
eluding as it does the whole seaboard
section of the State, that j
| it is impossible to complete plans P?
too hurriedly. ,arl
