This evidently is true, for in Wilmington the precipitation Sunday, Monday and Tuesday was 7.35 as oompared with the 4.39 inches recorded by the local weather bureau observer for the three-day period. In Southport Sunday's rainfall was the greatest for a single day with a recording of 1.35 inches. Wilmington bowed 3.05 that day. j m i News paper In j Southport, N.

' 4any Fishing P Trying Th' A lot of parties are coming in and are making pretty fair catches of trout, blues and mackerel. The presence of menhaden scattered everywhere along the coast below Southport has prevented the big blues and mackerel from advancing on the shoals in large numbers'. They prefer to cluster around and feast on the menhaden but they will be on the sport fishing grounds in numbers any day now. This belief is inspired by the fact that commerical boats have been making pretty good catches out there, all their take being of good size. Among the parties this week, Dr. Ivan Proctor, Raleigh; Dr. George Johnston, Wilmington, and Dr. R. A. White, of Asheville, made a pretty catch Saturday from the boat of Captain H. T. Bowmer. The catch included 48 fine blues and many trout and mackerel. A larger party out at the same time and composed of R. J.

J In addition to the Shrimp Boat i Derby pictures the Movietone H News folks, yesterday, outlined to the Southport Civic Club secretary some of their own ideas for pictures that they wish to stage here during the course of their i visit. One idea calls for 25 or more fl milk cows and a milking contest H on the beach. The cows can be ] staked out and the contestants will be the prettiest girls that I can be rounded up, all dressed fl in suits. Just prior to the milking i contest the girls will have to ] stage a "bossy beauty contest." t,acn girl win oe expected 10 employ any and all methods to pretty-up her cow, such as brushing them down, tying ribbons in their tails, using mascara on their eyes and mouth, putting nic? looking sunbonnets, or hats, on them and arraying them in very frilly lace panties. The pantle? should be such as the women wore in the '60s. The girls may H use their own ideas to beautify J? their cows and the cows will be fc expected to stay beautiful during 8 the milking contest. Another idea of the picture f folk is to round up 600 or 600 K bicycles. A rider must also be obtained for each wheel and 1V it is supposed that for this a huge bycycle race will be arrang- {, ed on the beach. A fourth picture calls for two ? fire trucks or engines to be backed down in the water and do 9 some pumping for a sham water battle to be fought by girls in snappy bathing suits. This is a rather large order for Southport, as there are no fire engine pumpers. However, it is thought that this difficulty can be overcome by running hose through the water from two separate fire_ plugs to two separate boats on which the bailing beauty battlers can be stationed.
