completed their scheduled

and are entering blythly in- i
to a second and unexpected

was made possible through
the activity and personal
generousity of Sasa Fodale,

Mr. Fodale, like everybody
else in Southport, was much
impressed with the , fine,
manly attitude of the boys.
Knowing that the home could
not afford the expense of
keeping them here longer
than a week, Fodale started
the ball to rolling with a personal
donation and then went
around among the Southport
folks and quickly raised enough
money to pay the expenses
of the second week.
Mr. Fodale has also been
generous in donations of seafood
for the table at the-camp.

tobacco and cannot sell the overage

farmer in Georgia or another
state the unused portion of a
quota.
The two farmers may work out
the transaction between themselves

county agent or field assistant of

case, the transfer rate would be

Stating that the weekly

meeting with a
very favorable reception, B.
Walter Huffington, of the
WPTF Radio company at Raleigh,
wrote W. B. Keziah of
the Southport Civic Club Sunday
expressing appreciation of
the local cooperation.
In part Mr. Huffington said:
"We wish to take this opportunity
to thank you personally
for your spendid cooperation
in furnishing this station
with news items, of the
fishing industry and sport
fishing which has been used
on the Fishing News Rewiew
during the last five weeks.
Your assistance has been
just what our sponsors desired
to bring to the radio
audience."
These broadcasts are given
each Thursday evening at
7:15 by Station WPTF, and
the news and comment is |
written by Mr. Keeziah. The j
matter from Southport is
supposed to be composed of
50% commerical fishing news, I
25% sport fishing news and
25% general news. This broad
allowance of news arrange

heard something from her j

Several up-state sportsmen

it to them. Naturally,
they asked if it was a regular

states that so far as he
