PLANS ABANDONED
FOR COUNTY FAIR
HERE THIS FALL
Announcement was made
during the past week that
plans for holding a Brunswick ,
County Fair have been abandoned

The fair was being sponsored
by members of the Southport
Woman's Club and was
scheduled to take place during
the week of October 21-25.
Fear that there might be a
further spread of infantile
paralysis in the county was j
given as the reason for giv- |
ing up plans to stage the fair
here this fall.

E. Y. Floyd, of State

In preparing future contracts,
he continued, 1935 will be one
of the base years, and growers
will need accurate records of
their production for this year to

A Pet Fox Am?
Despondent over poor health,
Union Naugatuck, pet fox
aboard the coast guard cutter
Naugatuck, jumped overboard
Wednesday night while
the boat was on patrol duty
and was drowned in the
heavy sea before rescuers
could reach his side.
According to reports, the
little mascot had been suffering
from an accute attack of
sea sickness and this, no
doubt, led him to arrive at
the conclusion that life really
wasn't worth the struggle.
The suicide occurred in the
dead of night just as the
Naugatuck's whistle was being
blown as a signal to a
nearby boat. His masters
aboard saw the little fox as
he disappeared over the side
of the ship and a life boat
was immediately lowered in
an effort to save him. A half
hour search was made for

The fox had been aboard p:
for two weeks and had be- lc
come a favorite with the y
men. He was as tame as a
kitten and was allowed the ir
ran of the boat. The men fed g
him out of their hands and tl
ice cream and candy became n
a part of his diet. tl
The only time that the little
animal appeared to be at s<

boat whistle blew or the gun d
was fired. ihb aiwaja it
brought on an attack of ner- Y
vousness. There are some
members of the Naugatuck tJ
crew who discredit the sul- b
Clde theory. They contend n
that their pet became alarm- c

when he jumped, he was E
