Welcomes Plei About Fishin The State stopped game and hunting advertising, almost as soon as it was started last fall. The reason was that local hunting was increasing at such, a rate and the birds also being killed off by depredatory animals at such speed that most. everybody hated seeing outof-state people invited to come in to join in the slaughter. All this is preamble to saying that Southport and the coast of Brunswick is left sitting pretty. This section. has the very best sport fishing on the North Carolina coast.

The first half ended with the Dolphins having the big end of a 19-6 score. In the second half everything but mahem was committed on both sides, and the visitors held their own a little better. The final results showed the Modoc the 1 second' best team in Southport, just as it was credited with being in Wilmington. The score was 48s 24. (. Watson, guarding for the Dolphins, had his hand badly cut when he thrust it through a glass door. The Dolphins, playing their h third game for this winter, shown ed much of the form that made them the strongest team in this ? section last season. Captain Rog ? ers, regarded as the power house n of the team, suffered a strain while fishing last summer, and , for awhile it was thought he '' would not play this year. The boys have not practiced but e will get down to it this week and s will take on anything. A return game will be played in the arm^ ory with the Modoc team, probably this week. e| THE LINE UP e Modocc 24 Dolphins 48 . forward Crady 15) Thompson (8) forward 'Defreest (2) Watson (11) center ?

Pointing out that shad prices range from $40 to $50 a box in January, when the season is closed, compared with $10 to $12 in the late months, the fishermen declared that profits would be increased greatly by opening and closing the season earlier. The Board offered several proposals to the fishermen, with sentiment apparently favoring ad| vancing the opening date three days for every day the closing date was advanced, with a 30-day limit. Should the board adopt the proposal, the gill net season would be open from January 5 to April 5, rather than February 5 to April 15, as at present, and the i nnnnH nnt SPflsnn WOtlld be ODen ? * from January 15 to April 25, instead of February 15 to May 1. It was pointed out that bucks are more numerous than roe during the early months and that the open season would do less damage to spawning shad. There is no restriction on shall fishing in Virginia, and Georgia and South Carolina permit shad fishing January 1. These states offer serious competition to North Carolina fishermen, Clarence Midgette of Dare County said. The session was attended by about 50 fishermen from Dare, Chowan, Washington, Currituck and Sampson Counties. Shrimp Activity Continues Here Several Up-State Boats Are Here In Addition To Unusual Number Of Local Boats Engaged In OffSeason Shrimping An investigation Sunday revealed that fourteen boats from up-state, in addition to many from other points in Brunswick [county and a number from New Hanover, were still at Southport, busy with shrimp trawling and fishing. It is understand that every one of the up-state boats 1- 1 fhn i win remain neic iiiuluihu ij, mv owners making their homes at Southport. Two or three families of boat owners have already moved in. The program is to shrimp when shrimp may be found during the winter, convert the boats into sport fishing craft for the use of parties during the summer an with the return of fall, the shrimp nets will be taken up again. All of the boats are good ones. Three of them arc fifty-footers and the others arc close to that. Their availability will add greatly to bringing an enormous number of sport fishing parties to Southport during the summer, and the town will profit thereby. Last year there was often a shortage of boats. This year it looks as it things may be the other way around. In fact, there will be so many boats here that it will be absolutely necessary to do everthing possible towards interesting sportsmen in coming here and going fishing. This should be easy. The sport fishing will grow this year into something that will mean a great deal for Southport. Last year there was (Continued on Page 4) Phoenix Club Women Meet 'Hie Phoenix Home Demonstration Club met with Mrs. Henry Vcrzaal, January 10th. The meeting was opened by Mrs. Oaslruyk, President.
