UNDER QUARANTINE
The men of Camp Sapona
were placed under quarantine
Tuesday afternoon by order of
Dr. W. S. Dosher, camp physician,
in an effort to prevent
the spread of an epidemic of
mild cases of influenza. All
work projects were ordered
postponed for the time being.
Twenty-tow men were confined
to their beds Monday,
and by Tuesday morning the
number had increased to 30;
eight of the more serious
cases were moved to the
Brunswick county hospital in
order to relieve the crowded
conditions of the camp infirmary.
Because of the quarantine,
it has been necessary to postpone
the Washington's Birthday
Ball, originally scheduled
for Friday night.
WPA Payroll Is
Help To County
Nearly $5,000 Of WPA
Money Received Twice
Each Month By Brunswick
County Merchants;
Most Of It Spent In The
County
Accompanied by the clicking of
cash registers, nearly $5,000.00 of
WPA money is received twice a
month by the merchants of
Brunswick county. This is the
imount of the semi-monthly paypoll
of the Works Progress Administration
in this county.
Because of the needs of WPA
workers and the comparatively
small wage that each individual
is paid, WPA officials estimate
that all of the money goes directly
to county merchants for
the necessities of life. It has been
found that the WPA worker, free
to spend his check as he sees
fit. buys food and clothes for his
family.

I After discussing plans at some

that a conference with state of[

Another important bit of business
transacted by the board was
. the passage of a resolution asking
that WPA labor be made

of forest fire control in Brunswick
county. The clerk to the
board was directed fer, a rite WPA
officials and ask that as many
as eight crews of from eight to

directed S. B. Frink and County

with tax suits for collection
of 1932 taxes.
! The meeting was attended by
