THE COUNTY UNIT

Warden Jones Anxious To
Allay Report That Work
Is Being Neglected Because
Of Shortage
"I wish that wou would put a
piece in the paper this week telling
the people of Brunswick
county that the forest fire protection
program is still in force,"
said County Forest Warden Dawson
Jones Monday while he was
in town on business.
I "Lack of co-operative funds
j from the state has caused a temporary
curtailment of expenditures
in Brunswick county," he
continued, "and this has made it
necessary for us to lay off some
of our straight-salaried men temporarily.
However, our protective
organization is being maintained

will be irone.i "Hit before

Warden Jones de.c'ired that he
laid the men in his protective organization
aie mighty proud of
the record that has been maintained
duri.ig the current dry
spell. "These temporary handicaps
are not going to be permitted
to hurt our program," he in|
sisted.
I In order to cope with these unI
usual conditions during the most
I dangerous fire season, those men

| doubling up in their work, and
splendid co-operation has been
forthcoming from the men ai
Camp Sapona, CCC organization

Sunday Rush Is Ft
Matter
While the ocean is big enough
for everybody to fish in
and some room to spare, the
Civic Club is becoming a bit
worried at the prospect of
being unable to secure sufficient
boats for the Sunday
rush of fishing parties.
Sunday brought the first
block. Two parties came in
from up state and found all
boats already chartered and
out on the deep. For a thirdbelated
party the club managed
to secure aj boat after
i considerable difficulty. Of
course, many more boats will
be available shortly, at the
same time the prospects of
increase in the number of
fishing parties is also loomf
ing large.
It is understood that Sunday
is the only day on which
many fishing parties can get
away from their occupations. /

and such folks are reminded

no danger of inability to obtain

and the boatmen arc better

times.
Whenever possible, it is
desirable for those who wish

days. If such is impossible it
' is advisable that boats be
spoken for in advance, either
through the owners or the

It may be stated here that |
Wilmington sends a great
