VANDERBILT YACHT *
OVERNIGHT VISITOR
W. K. Vanderbilt's palatial
yacht, the Alva, spent Monday
night in the Southport harbor,
resuming her southern ^
voyage early Tuesday morn- j
ing- I
The Alva Is the finest yacht ,
that makes regular trips
through Southport. She was (
here last spring for one day. j
The beautiful vessel failed to |
put in here last fall, but a
year ago last spring she spent ,
several days here. Considerable
excitement was caused (
during that visit when the sea \
plane carried aft on her deck ,
was almost wrecked as it attempted
to take off from the (
Southport harbor.
Slight Changes
In WPA Totals
At Close Of Last Week
There Were 330 Persons
At Work On 7 Projects
In Brunswick County
At the end of last week there
were 330 people at work on 7
projects of the Works Progress J
Administration in Brunswick |
county. Throughout the 14 coun-'
ties of the fourth WPA district,
3416 people were at work on 102 1
projects.
Of the workers in this county i
259 are men and 71 are women.
Of these 248 men and 66 women
are from the relief rolls. There
are 2006 men and 1410 women j
at work in the district, of which; i
1904 men and 1347 women are j
from relief rolls. i
Monday And Tuesi
Good Days Fo
For the first time this sea- ,
son the shrimping industry
swung into full stride Monday
and Tuesday, and the
waterfront presented a scene
of busy activity late into the
night on both those days.
The cool weather which
prevailed Sunday and Monday
apparently caused the
shrimp to come together. At
any rate, catches on the latter
day were the best of the
season. Tuesday was just
about as good.
As a result of the increase
in shrimp, the picking sheds
were crowded with workers
on both nights, and several
large trucks were loaded
with iced boxes for northern
markets.

day Were Very
r Local Shrimpers
Even though the catches
for the two days were much
better than at any time previously
this season, they still fall
short of normal conditions
for this time of the year.
However, due to the fact
that there are more boats
here than ever before, the
of shrimo neared the
all-time high for total number
of boxes.
On the eve of changed
luck for local waters, a number
of boats left Sunday
night for Georgetown, S. C.,
where it was reported that
good catches were made last
week. When they receive
news of improved conditions
here, it is likely that they
will return to Southport for
the remainder of the season.

During the past rew aays uicici
has been considerable agitation |
in Southport for a Sunday mail
service, and definite assurance j
has been received by Postmaster
L. T. Yaskell that a postal in- J
spector will be down within the j
near future to investigate the ad- J
visability of putting on a Sunday j
mail.
According to Postmaster Yas-1
kell, the decision to add the Sunday
mail service probably will be
based upon the week-end volume
of mail. When the postal inspector
comes, the matter will be
gone into thoroughly from every
angle.
Latest agitation among local
citizens came about as the result
of letters written by Ormand
I Leggett to the post office department.
Other citizens also(l
have taken steps to secure the
mail. Postmaster Yaskell has been ; i
I working on the matter for some I
j time, however, and united action
, on the matter may result in early j
action. i
