Meet i' Very Successful Meeting; Committees Make Favorable Reports; Athletic Association Holds Box Supper; Other News ASH. Feb. 28.?The Waccamaw P.-T. A. met and transacted its business for its February meeting just preceding the Box supper' Friday night. Mrs. J. E. Dodson, the president, called the meeting to order with singing "Yankee Doodle". The reports from the various committees were very favorable, which causes the association to deem its endeavors for improvements to school and community as successful. Announcement was made of the Recitation-Declamauon contest on April 12. This event is sponsored by the P.-T. A.'s of the county, and it is the desire of our local P.-T. A. to make it as successful and profitable as possible. The program committee consisting of Miss Rawls, Mrs. Formy Duval, LeRoy Mintz and Otis Evans presented a very beautiful and significant Founder's Day Program. This Commemoration of this worthy group always brings a gratifying realization of the importance that this organization is to our schools. At the conclusion of the Founder's Day Program the committee also presented a series of stunts ivhich were highly entertaining to the audience. The Athletic Association held a Box Supper to raise funds to help defray its expenses following the business meeting. This event proved to be another successful feature of the evening. Our boy's and girl's teams are tvorking hard preparatory to entering the county tournament. We are supporting our team wholeheartedly and are extremely proud of the showing they have made. We especially commend our girl's team, since they have lost only one game, and that to Bolivia, in the county series of games. FACULTY PLAY Due to the conflict with the county basketball tournament the faculty has found it necessary to postpone their play "Laugh Clown" until March 15. This play promises to be an entertaining feature of the year and the school is looking forward to your patronage.

The origin of the first fire, which was on a little timbered tract of the Orton lands, appears to be unknown. The second and larger fire was started, allegedly, by colored children and didn't reach to the Orton land. Forest Warden Dawson Jones and his force were on the job in both cases. The first fire was put out in short order. The second and larger one proved more stubborn and the entire force of warden turned out to fight it They were ably assisted by a large number of volunteers, most of these being colored men in the Marsh Branch section, where this fire originated. Churchill Bragaw, superintendent at Orton, stated Sunday night that there was a very strong spirit of help being manifested by colored citizens in his part of the county when fires break out. These colored people j turn out readily to do all they | can to assist in putting out any j and all fires. At the same time i they are cooperative in aiding I to prevent the starting of fires. Incidently, forest fire prevenI tion officials are all very anxious now for the fullest sort of cooperation from all citizens. They are pointing out that the windy days of March are near and when the woods happen to be the least dry a small fire, aided by a brisk wind, could do great damage in short order. Trees are very susceptible to injury from fire at this time of the year when the sap is up or rising. They can easily be killed or so stunted and warped that they will be of little value. The public is urged to exercise extra precaution during March and April. The forest fire officials ask to be promptly notified when any blaze breaks out and threatens to get beyond control. At the same time public spirited citizens are urged to turn out and do all they can to extinguish such blazes without waiting for other fighters to arrive. Home Management Leaders School A Home Management leaders School was held at the home of Mrs. Lillian Oliver in Shallotte on Fph. 19. Miss Pauline Gordon, home management specialist from State College gave a most helpful lesson and demonstration on "Adequate Lighting for the Home". Boone's Neck, Myrtle Head, Ash, Exum, Bolivia and Shallotte Clubs were well represented. During the social hour Mrs. Marion Gatlin served delicious iced drinks. Miss Ida Creech Is Club Hostess Members of the Shallotte home demonstration club met at the home of Miss Ida Creech in their regular February meeting. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Thomas Russ, president, and following^ the business session, Mrs. Marion S. Dosher, had charge of the lesson for the month: "The Home Business Center." Reports were made on home goals for 1940. Mrs. H. C. Stone made a talk on poultry. The recreation period was in charge of Mrs. Bailey Russ, after which refreshments were served by the hostess to the follow-. ing club members. Mrs. H. C. Stone, Miss Carrine Green, Mrs. Eustis Russ, Mrs. Marion Dosher, Mrs. Bailey Russ, Mrs. Thomas Russ, Miss Ida Creech. Mrs. Harvey Stanley and Mrs. Charles Russ. Mrs. Delmas Hewett was a visitor.'

The goggle-eyes may weigh anywhere from half a pound up to a pound, and a half. An interesting fact is that practically all that are taken in one j i. place are of the same size. For instance,, if you begin catching one pounders in one place, you will keep on catching one pounders until you call it a day and quit. SOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAM BENEFITS E-rto THIS roUNTY ( > mm-mr ? ? (Continued from page one) small item and practically accurate figures in the other four divisions, K is aparent that just about $61,760 has been distributed in Brunswick county in these five major divisions. In the other five divisions, classed as "service", a proration indicates that about $12,890 .has been distributed in this county since the program started, divided approximately as follows: Maternal and Child Health services, $2,300; Services for Crippled Children, $1,930; Child Welfare service, $1,550; Vocational Rehabilitation, $990; and Public Health work, $6,120. Several factors enter into this proration, Mr, Powell explained. Brunswick county had a population of 15,818, or about 0.5 per cent of the population of the entire State, 1930 census. This part of the Social Security program has been in operation about four pears, and the State has matched Federal funds in almost every instance. These facts are considered in making the proration. Central UCC office records show that in 1939 Brunswick county had 13 residents employers subject to the law and 540 workers protected by it. Subject employers paid into the State fund $12,660.23 in the two years of 1937 and 1938 and the first 9 months of 1939, as compared with the $13,258.37 paid to unemployed workers in the county in the two years of 1938 and 1939. The records show that in 1938 and 1939 Brunswick unemployed workers filed 467 initial claims? the first claims filed after the worker became unemployed?and 3,905 continued claims?the claims filed each week, after the initial Claims. jLinpiuyiiiciit aci vac icv,Drds indicate that in 1937, 1938 and 1939, 3,130 registrations for work and 523 placements on jobs were handled in Brunswick county Employment and benefit paya 1 Get ready for spring in a stock of good used c?rs taken in so many makes a You can get a better used because we want to redu has been priced specially makes and models are he Your present car will pro easy terms .... with low payments.
