Senator Robert R. Reynolds made a flying trip to Southport Saturday afternoon from Wilmington, where he delivered the principal speach Friday night at a National Defense dinner. Our Bob was scheduled for a boat trip to Ft. Caswell where he was to view the famous hot-water springs, but a delay in Wilmington prevented that. About a dozen girls who had gone over to await the arrival of the distinguished visitor were disappointed in the change in plans, as was W. B. Keziah, Civic Club secretary, who had gone to considerable trouble to make arrangements for the visit. Senator Reynolds hated to miss the trip to Caswell. "I wanted to go over there," he said, "but I simply don't have time on this trip. I've bathed in the hotwater springs of Yellowstone National Park and in the Great _ . . ?>. I.

Of County Board Of Ed- | ucation, Contacts District Highway Commissioner NEED WALKWAY ACROSS RIVER Hazard Of Having School Children Use Highway Bridge Is Stressed In Argument For Improvement Chas. E. Gause, chairman of the county board of education, made a special trip to Whiteville last week for the purpose of consulting Highway Commissioner A. E. Powell, Jr., about the possibility of having a walkway constructed across the Shallotte river between the town of Shallotte and the school. In making their twice-daily trips to and from school, it now is necessary for the school children to cross the river on the *?s j? +v??f ic Innatpd hignway unuge ui? ?. on a curve on a busy route. "Only Providence has prevented a serious accident," said Mr. Gause, "and we must have a better arrangement before it is too late. What the education board chairman is seeking is a walkway bridge running parallel with the highway crossing. "We don't care if it is concrete, brick or pine poles," he told Mr. Powell. "We want something that will insure the safety of the kids that have to cross that river." Mr. Powell promised to give the matter his immediate attention. and in a letter received last week by Mr. Gause he said in part: "I am thoroughly aware of the hazard there, and very much in sympathy with this project. I wish to assure you that I will make an effort to get some relief in the matter." Brunswick Man Given Parole : Dave Gause, Brunswick county man, received a parole Monday ' from Governor Clyde R. Hoey. ' Gause was sentenced in 1934 to 1 serve from seven to 10 years for manslaughter. Hancock Askei Attention 1 A letter from W. B. KezIah, secretary of the Southport, Civic Club, went forward .

S. U. S. U. S. D. Of 1812, Has Been Here To Attempt To Locate Exactly Where Troops Encamped According to a letter received re this week by C. Ed. Taylor om Miss Ettie Brown, of Flora [cDonald College, there is a rong possibility that a marker ill be erected here in memory ' troops encamped at Deepwat Point, near Southport, during te war of 1812. Miss Brown, together with Mrs. ary Louise Jackson Cooper, ate president of N. C. S. U. S. . S. D. of 1812, came here last iring in a neffort to locate the :act spot where the troops were icamped. They were assisted by r. Taylor, who since that time is been in communication with em relative to plans for the ection of a marker here. Deepwater .point is aDout a ilf-mile north of Southport at a iot that is little traveled. It is the suggestion of Mr. Taylor * at the marker be placed on the I urthouse square, in Franklin irk of on the garrison of some 1 her prominent place where it juld be seen. The distance and 1 rection of Deepwater Point will J inscribed upon the memorial blet for the convenience of any rson who may wish to visit e spot. allotments To c Be Announced lloted Acreage Under The Provisions Of 1938 Program Will Be Announced C Soon By County Agent The flue-cured tobacco acreage ]\, lotments for farms under the 38 _ Agricultural Conservation "ogram will be determined at i early date in Brunswick coun, J.

This event, contends the Civic Club, occurred 60 years before Sir Waiter Raleigh attempted his settlement in the Albemarle section and it was only 33 years after Columbus discovered America. The organization contends that the location of the shipyard was on the Cape Fear, only two miles above Southport. The ship was built in 1S25 and it wa not until about 200 years later that New.

The water was not diverted through this poll until early-the present winter and the Fort Caswell people said nothing about it. . A result was that the public found out for itself about the pool and the natural waters that are iust riirht for bathing, even in the coldest weather. In fact, the water in the pool is so warm ; that it keeps the temperature in the big: room and the ten dress- i ing rooms at a comfortable degree The water in the pool is main- ' tained at a depth of four feet, and the pool is about 40 feet wide by 60 feet in length.
