Leland-Bolivia
Boys Lead Race
In Basketball
'
As the pre-tournament compaign
among Brunswick county
high school basketball teams
moves into the final stages the
Leland and Bolivia boys are
deadlocked at the top of the
heap.
These strong teams have met
twice and have divided the
games. All other teams in the
county have fallen before them
in their championship march.
Next in line in the boys' division
is the Shallotte team which
has won gomes over Southport
and Waccamaw, but who lost
to each of the leaders. Waccamaw
has been able to defeat
only Southport, and the latter
team still is in quest of its
first victory in county competition.
"?
The girls' division shows a j
Bolivia sextet that is wading
through all local opposition.
The Waccamaw lassies are next
in line, their only loss being to
the leaders. The Leland girls
have won from Shallotte and
Southport, but have fallen befnrp
Rnlivia and Waccamaw.
Shallotte has whipped the
Southport team, as have all the
other girl outfits in the county
league, leaving them in the
cellar.

Pastor's Meet
Thursday And
Discuss Plans 1
Pastors of three of the four '
protestant churches for white
people in Southport met Thursday
in conference to discuss
plans for a religious survey
of the community.
The meeting was attended by
Rev. A. L. Brown, pastor of i
the Southport Baptist church; 1
Rev. R. S. Harrison, pastor of 1
Trinity Methodist church; and i
Rev. J. Leon Malone, pastor of I
St. Phillips Episcopal church, i
It was impossible for Rev. J. R. 1
Potts, pastor of the Southport
Presbyterian church, to attend, !
but he sent word that he was j
anxious to cooperate in any
movement for religious progress
within the community.
The religious survey will be- '
gin next week and will be conducted
by Rev. Mr. Brown and
Rev. Mr. Harrison. The idea is
to get a clear idea of church '
affiliation within the bounds of '
the community in order that
this may serve as a basis for a 1
church membership drive.
The group will meet tomor- ;

A committee from Brunswick

last '.Thursday to appear before
the state school commission and
isk that consideration be given
the matter of providing adult
drivers for school busses at Leland
school.
The group was accorded a respectful
audience by the state
board, but in the end the only
official answer was that the commission
was powerless now to do
anything to correct the situa- i
tion, bad though it may be.
The only immediate outcome of (
the trip was a trip here yesterday
by L. C. Thornton, representative
of the school commission, to
look into the matter of re-routing
it least one of the Leland busses.
Meanwhile, the folkes up in
Northwest township are not resting
in their efforts to bring about
i system that will place adult
drivers on school busses of North j
