izens interested in the mattress
project being sponsored by the
department of the home agent
and the farm agent get in their
applications within the next few
days, this opportunity will be
lost for them, according to word
received Monday from Mrs. Marion
S. Dosher.
Mrs. Dosher was particularly
anxious to have the people know
that this is not a relief, or charity
project. Primarily, she says,
it is an educational project, one
that will show many of our citizens
a very economical way by
which they may completely supI
ply themselves with bed mattresses.
k The reason, she says, that the
* limit of income clauses is written
7 in to govern the sign-up is in
order that the mattresses made
in Brunswick county may go tc
those families who need them
worse. Materials for making the
mattresses are to be furnished,
but a charge of J1.50 is being
made to cover actual expenses
of manufacturing the bedding.
June 25 has been set as the
deadline for making application
for this county-wide project, and
unless at least 120 applications
have been received before that
time Brunswick county citizens
will be out of luck. It is estimated
that there is a normal need
for 1,000 of these mattresses in
Brunswick.

The Whiteville high school boxing
squad, 20 strong, will have
a. three-day outing on Oak Island
next Thursday and will remain
through Sunday.
Coach Lee Greer annually gives
the boys a trip for their season's
ivork in the ring. Whiteville has
been listed this year as one of the
strongest and best balanced teams
in the south and was believed
to be even stronger than last
year's team which boasted oi
three state high school champions.
The state meet was not held
this year, but experts generally
igreed that the Columbus county
ads would have walked away
with at least four individual
:hampionships. The record of the
tVhiteville team this year was
/ery outstanding, defeating the
strongest outfits in North and
South Carolina. Engaging in a
total of 60 individual matches,
the young puglists won 49 of the
matches, 20 by decisions and 2?
via the knockout route.
