Included on the list was J. Arthur Dosher Memorial Hospital at Southport and eightythree North Carolina institutions. In making the advance announcement, Dr. Irvin Abell, of (Louisville, Chairman of the Board ! of Regents, and head of the adi visory committee on health, recently appointed to assist the Council of National Defense, declared: "Health is always an import-, [ant essential to the well-being of j I ? *: it-? o timp nf cARrineM I II<lUUiI3, Ok Ilu 111 a vui.v v. 0 D for defense it is a vital issue. | Hence the fact that we have; 2,800 hospitals in the United States and Canada that are for- j tresses of defense against disease! and disablement, because they1 are adequately armed and man-) I ned for the type of battle in j | which they are engaged, should1 (give our people and our govern-, j ments assurance that in this field j we are well embarked on a pre-; Jparedness program.

Between fish that they cooked and ate and fish that they brought in and which were counted, a party from Wilmington, Laurinburg and Charlotte, with Zuni Holland of Wilmington as host, is believed to have j made the largest catch of blue i fish ever made by a party trol- I ling in one day off any point of the coast of North Carolina. No one counted the number of blues that were cooked and eaten, but a count of those that were brought in showed up 326 blues and 4 bonito. The blues were all of good size.

C., Wed Conservation Is j Keynote Of New Farmers Program / AAA Program Will Be AfL fected By Important Changes Beginning With ? 1941 Activities, Says Floyd SOIL-BUILDING TO RECEIVE EMPHASIS Provisions Of New Order Are Explained By E. Y. Floyd, State Executive For AAA The Triple-A Program is the Agricultural Conservation Proj gram, and E. Y. Floyd, AAA I Executive Officer of N. C. State I College, says "Conservation" is I the most important word in the I title. With this in mind, he an| nounces an important improvement in the program, effective in 1941. "General soil-depleting allotments have been discontinued and I payments will be based on the amount of soil building a farmer does," Floyd stated, "In other rl. words, the farmer who earns all id soil-building units will earn his )r maximum payment' from planting special allotments, such as tobac(n co, cotton, peanuts and commercial wheat, potatoes, and vegetables in designated commercial lr counties; the farmer who fails to meet his soil-building goal will ~ have his conservation payments reduced in the same proportion by which he fails to meet his ?AiLKuildin<r trnal " OUli-wu..uu.b & The 1941 AAA Program in North Carolina will be more than 1 ever a conservation program. By not establishing a general (total) ? soil-depleting allotment for a "" farm, it will mean that only spej cial allotment crops and practices will have to be measured. This J will make the program more ? adaptable for all farms in the s state and encourage the produco tion of added food and feed crops s to take care of the people and t the livestock on the farm and i- by not having to measure ded pleting crops except special allott ments should greatly reduce the h cost of compliance. Here, in simple language, is the way Floyd explains the new c plan: "We will say.that Farmer h Jones had set up for his farm d a total farm payment of $100/ I. made up of $50 for planting withs in special allotment crops and - $50 to be earned for carrying out d practices, such as seeding legumes and grasses, winter cover crops d and green manure crops, terracy ing, contour stripcropping, foress try practices, home gardening, d application of liming materials, r and the like. d "If farmer Jones only carried n out enough soil-building practices I, to earn $40 of his soil-building .- allowance, then he would only > get $40 of his special allotment i- payments, giving Farmer Jones it a final total payment of $80 in4 stead of $100. That's because he earned only 80 percent of his soil-building goal. Of course, if he carried out enough practices to I Uio on tiro sso soil-build-1 i receive ma V?*?v v P ing allowance, then he would re ceive his full $50 for planting within special crop allotments. That would give him his maxiat mum farm payment of $100." er If a farm grows no special of crops, such as tobacco, cotton, of etc., then it receives all the paya ments earned for carrying out >oi soil-building practices up to the lis maximum goal.

SHANNON Is Named Head Of Draft Board H. M. Shannon Is Chairman, J. J. Loughlin, Jr., Secretary; Offices Established Upstairs Over The Postoffice The Brunswick county draft board was organized last week with H. M. Shannon being named chairman and J. J. Loughlin, Jr., secretary. Price Furpless is the third member, Dr. L. C. Fergus, examining officer, and S. B. Frink, governor appeal agent. Offices for the board have been established in the Cranmer building over the postoffice and Mrs. Grace K. Dosher and Mrs. Vicki M. Wells are acting clerks pending their official appointment by the governor. So far, they are serving without pay. Work of this kind is old stuff to Mrs. Dosher, who served in a somewhat similar capacity during the draft period of the last war. At the time the draft was comprise*! of J. Berg. Dr. D. I. Watson and R. W. Davis. Dr. J. A. Dosher was examining officer and C. Ed Taylor served as government appeal agent. Chairman Shannon said last night that a total of 1,817 persons had registered in Brunswick county. He pointed out, however, that this did not represent the number of Brunswick citizens who registered. Many persons whose residence is outside the county registered here last Wednesday because they happened to be here, and by the same token many Brunswick county men away from hor.ie registered elsewhere. By the time those cards are sent here and the cards of the 130 foreign registrants are sent to their proper destination Brunswick's total registration may be greater than its present figure. Mr. Shannon wishes to have it known that any male citizen of Brunswick county between the ages of 21 and 36 years who failed for any reason to register last Wednesday may appear before the local draft board and do so without fear of penalty provided that action is taken immediately. Because of the incomplete state of draft statistics it is impossible to know exactly what to expect in the matter of the prospective number of boys who will be called from this county by the first draft. Unofficial- estimate upon the basis of population shows that if 600,000 men are called to arms, approximately 60 of this number will come from Brunswick. Hurts Are Fatal To Elmer Long Freeland Young Man Dies In The Columbus Count? Hospital Here Thursday Night Of Hurts Received Night Before Elmer Long, Freeland youth, died in the Columbus County hospital here Thursday night at 10:15 o'clock of injuries received Wednesday night in an automobile accident in Lees township near Old Dock. Corporal W. W. Carraway, whc investigated the accident, said that a truck belonging to Austin Long, brother of Elmer, had broken down and was parked beside the highway, and the machine of Russell Blackman, of Whiteville, RFD 4, had driven up from the opposite direction and parked on the left to shine hit lights on the truck while it was being repaired.

Among those expected to take the course are representatives from the faculty of each consolidated school in the county. This is being done with the view of having the teachers conduct courses in first aid in their respective schools for the benefit of the students. Through this medium it is hoped to disseminate intelligent information concerning first aid to as many as possible in this county. In these days of uncertainty a knowledge of first aid is important for community leaders. It is impossible to over-estimate the value that might have been derived from training of this kind in Europe during the war crisis of the past few months, and while we have no immediate fear of conditions of this kind in America, it is a fact that there are ten million disabling injuries in the United states annually.

Y., to Miami has hcen held up at C'a|>e .May by high North west winds, and Commodore Chester A. Bentley, supervising the cruise, is expecting to reach here with the flotilla two days behind schedule. The schedule originally called for the fleet to reach here October 31st and to spend two days and night here. With the delays, the flotilla may be expected here November 2 or 3. The gathering of the Outdoor Writers Association of America here October 81st through November 4th, is independent of the yachting cruise. Portions of the entertainment features for both gatherings may be combined, however. Tenth Grade Has Outdoor Party The juniors went on a weiner roast last Tuesday evening. They were carried by automobiles to Fort Caswell. A big bonfire was built by the boys who were assisted by some of the girls. They sat around the fire and told stories and sang songs until the coals were well made. Then everyone pitched in with great gusto. Eventually not a weiner was left so the group resorted to a more delicate morsel, marsh mallows Soon everyone was full (so to speak) and went home with full stomachs and happy hearts. The Southport junior class met last week and elected officers, They were as follows: president, Johpnie Simmons, vice-president Basil Watts: secretary, Frances Cox; treasurer, Carl Ward.

Broughton, that the same spirit dcmonstarted so far in the campaign is destined to roll up the biggest Democratic majority in the November election that this state has ever seen. Mr. Broughton was speaking in Whiteville's armory to Democrats of Columbus, Bladen, Brunswick and New Hanover counties. Approximately 1,200 people were in attendance, and immediately after the speaking, a barbecue dinner was served. MANY DIGNITARIES On the program for short speeches were many outstanding party leaders of the State, in1 eluding Col. W. B. (Buck) Jones, and J. W.

Like many other big game fishing guides, Captain Lance has been watching Southport for a long time, confident that there was an abundance of marlin, sails, etc., in addition to the barracuda, dolphin and amberjack out on Frying Pan shoals. The only thing that has deterred him from coming here before this was the lack of the place being sufficiently established as a big game fishing point.

C. "Looks like a big time down at Southport come the end of the month"! So said J. Hammond Brown,' Outdoor Editor on the Baltimore' News-Post and the Baltimore Sunday American in a letter to W. B. Keziah of Southport yesterday afternoon. . Four or more of the writers in-' eluding Brown are to leave Baltimore for Norfolk by boat on the 29th and will get here from Norfolk by car on the 30th. Others from New York, Boston, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Columbus, Detroit and points in Texas and Missouri will travel all of the way by car. The five days meeting is to open on the 31st and Brown advised Keziah to go ahead and arrange the local program in whatever way it was desired. Most of the official work of the delegates will be confined -i to discussions and endorsement of actions planned before they - each here. Brown also imparted a very in- u] teresting bit of information in his letter. He stated that John Alden Knight, famous magazine writer and probably one of the most jjj proficient fishermen in America, was coming along with the delegates, as was the equally famous Morris Ackerman. As Brown said at the start of his letter, it looks like a big time. North Carolina has never before had such a collection of nationally known writers to assemble at 0h< poirft.
