Various Theori
| Bag Of Grit
Add to the list of strange |
catches made recently by
members of the shrimp trawling
fleet at Southport a 100
pound bag of grits brought |
in one day last week by
Crawford Rourk.
There are various theories
as to just how this supply
of breakfast food came to
rest on the ocean's floor.
Some of the less hearty griteaters
on the waterfront have
advanced the theory that a
member of some ship's crew
decided that he and his fellows
had been subjected too
long to a steady diet of grits,
and decided to reduce the sup- j
ply to meet the demand.
There is still another theory
that an irate cook, tormented
beyond all bounds of endurance,
threw the first thing

HOT WATER BATHS
AT FORT CASWELL
According to H. H. Thomas,
who is in charge of the Fort
Caswell property, he has arranged
to pipe a two-inch
stream of water from the hot
water well into the old government
test pool, and visitors
may now enjoy baths in mineral
water that remains at a
tem|>erature of eighty degrees
or above on the coldest mornings.
The pool is B0x30 feet and
the water is maintained at a
4 and one-half foot level. Mr.
Thomas says that so far there
is being no effort made to advertise
the hot water bathing
facilities, but that these baths
are available for persons who
may come as guests to Fort

This Is Also Concensus Of

Work
No agency in Brunswick has |
been more outstanding in assist- j
ing forestry officials in the con-,
trol and prevention of fires than i
have the boys of Camp Sapona.
This is a circumstance that J
County Fire Warden Dawson j
Jones fully realizes and is very
appreciative of.
When Camp Sapona celebrated
its 3rd anniversary late in October
the fire warden was prevented
from being present, owing to
the fact that he was called out
at the last moment to supervise
the fighting of a fire. i
Mindful of the splendid serv-1
ices that had been rendered him
and the county by the men of the j
camp, Mr. Jones wrote this paper j
expressing his regrets at being
unable to attend the anniversary
celebration and expressed his
genuine appreciation of the men,
and officials at the camp.

wrote Mr. Jones. "I have never 1
called upon them in vain, and j
their efforts to assist me have j
always been vigorous and effici- j
ent It was a deep personal regret
that I could not be with1
them the other night."
The Warden's idea of the efficiency
of Camp Sapona is shared
by hundreds of Brunswick
citizens who have the power of
observation and who have seen j
for themselves the genuine worth j
of the work that is being done'
every day. The camp is one of1
the most valuable institutions in
Brunswick county.

BUYING GOVERNMENT

Rivvntlv there has been con- i
slderable trouble at Camp Sapona
in the matter of useful
articles mysteriously disappearing-,
and Lt. John W.
Sample wants to warn all persons
against the bargain pur- J
chase of any government property
that may have come from
the CCC Camp.
Among the missing articles
are several army blankets,
some articles of clothing and
two heavy duty rail road
jacks. The blankets and clothing
are plainly marked, said
' the commanding officer, and
any parson caught with any of
these articles in his possession
will be turned over to the federal
authorities for prosecu- 1

Frost Is On The
The Farmer's T
These cool, frosty mornings
that presage the early arrival
of hog killing weather
turn the minds of Brunswick
county farmers to a
business nearer at hand . . .
the making of the season's
supply of 'simmon beer.
Now 'simmon, like 'possum,
is a contraction of a word
that had a needless first
syllable. (If you plan to look
either of them up turn to
persimmon and opossum.)
Possibly it is because of this
kindred contraction, but the
two are inseparably linked in
the mind of the average farmer
during the early fall
months.
'Simmon beer probably is
the choice home-made nonalcoholic
drink in Dixie. You
can drink a gallon of it and
get no kick whatever. Yet it
has a dryish twang, when chilled
by the frosty weather of
autumn, that makes you
want more.
First you get a barrel, a
tight, clean wooden barrel
and put a wood spigot in it
