Keziah has received a letter from Jimmie Struber of Ohio, secretary of the OWAA, advising Keziah that he was inclosing his membership card in the OWAA will all dues paid for the rest of his life. The fullness of the honor conferred when the directors voted Keziah a life member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America can best be understood when it is stated that during the many years. of the organization only five men and one woman have ever been made life members. Those honored were: President Theodore Roosevelt and Ozark Ripley, both now dead; Morris Ackerman, Mrs. Osa Johnson, Ding Darling and W. B. Keziah. Reviberations of the _ recent meeting of the officers and directors of the Outdoor -Writers Association of America are still coming in good and strong in the shape of voluminous newspaper and magazine clippings of stories telling of what a great time the writers had while at Southport.

B. Keziah Was Long An Agitator To Have The Hurricane Zone End Below Southport For almost five years the Southport Civic Club fought to hgve the dead line on the hurricane insurance clause on yachts opened to permit insured boats to come down the waterway as far as Southport without ttieir policies being invalidated. Through some strange quirk, boats were allowed to come down through the Hatteras hurricane zone, as far as Morehead City, and no further, because of alleged danger from storms. Contending that hurricanes never struck at Southport or Wilmington, that the real danger zone, if there was one, was at Charleston on the west or Hatteras on the north; that it was an injustice to permit boats to come through the Hatteras zone and stop on the edge of it, the Civic Club kept plugging away to have below Southport made the deadline. Last spring Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach took up the fight, asking that the boats be j allowed to come as far as Snows! Cut, on the inland waterway, prior to November 15th. The Civic Club, already absorbed by the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce, refused to join in the effort to have Snow's Cut made tv?n fl/inrllitio oloi w. i n cr tbot offnrf o uit uvuuuiiL) viauiiiiig uiub v.nvi vu to have Southport be the deadline had been started years ago and that local interests were opposed to a compromise that would j force the craft to tie up some 20 or more miles above here. All hands finftWy got together, and Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach chambers of commerce joined up with the local organiza- ] tion. The united pressure caused the insurance companies to yield. This year, for the first time, insured boats have been allowed to ] come on down the waterway, as ; far as Southport, without their (continued on page four) I Is Reappointed Tax Collector ^has. ?.

Gause, BrunsIwick county tax collector, was re1 appointed to serve until November 1, 1941. On Monday final approval of his bond was received and settlement was made for the 1939 tax levy. Those fieures reveal total cash collections of 589,989.84; land sale certificates amounting to $45,153.j 56; an insolvent list of $3,349.33; land total releases granted by the j board of county commissioners of j $1,266.88. This report was accepted and ! approved by the board. At the Monday meeting petitiohs were presented asking that the county commissioners request the state to take over the road running from the Calabash qommunfty to Calabash landing. In addition to other routine business that came before the board, matters pertaining to the listing of land for 1941 taxes were discussed. y Fox Might For Bad Week three weeks with his pack of hounds, will form a sizeable pack. In fact, it is expected that several days next week will see a hundred or more hounds going full tilt after some of the thousands of foxes that inhabit Brunswick county.

Goerch tells in his widely read I State Magazine are one of the ! very interesting features of that j publication. The funny stories generally combine immagination along with the humor, and one of the best things about them is that they leave no J sting, although they are usually written along a vein that puts either Goerch or some body else in a very ridiculous light. Carl's latest trip to Southport had the making of a more or less funny story in it, but he will probably have to pick up this story and retell it before the funny point gets clear to j the average reader. Last Wednesday morning Carl bobbed up in town, accomplained by Les Forgrave, the widely known cartonist who draws the comic slip, Big Sister. They hunted up W. B. Keziah and Carl promptly told the local man that this was about the fifteenth time .he had been to Southport and had never yet got to make a trip to Bald Head island. In about five minutes Keziah had the two visitors aboard the boat of Captain H. T. Bowmer and was enroute to the island with them. On the way over Carl allow ed that they had an engagement for 3 o'clock in the afternoon and could not stay long. Captain Bowraer, who is a deputy sheriff, said the same thing for himself.

The Pilot Covers Brunswick County t $1.50 PER YEAR Cotton Vote Is Scheduled For December 7th . Cotton Growers Of Brunswick County Will Join Rest Of The Nation In Deciding Important Issue . FARMERS' EARNEST CONSIDERATION URGED ' { Before Voting, Farmers Have Been Urged to Consider The Present Glutted Condition of The Market Now Because Of Overproduction Cotton farmers of Brunswick county will join cotton farmers throughout the nation in their referendum on December 7, to decide whether or not Cotton Marketing Quota will be in effect for 1941. Marketing Quota will be in effect for 1941 only if approved by at least two-thirds of the cotton producers voting in the referendum. Cotton growers should consider carefully the advantages and the disadvantages of Cotton Marketing Quoto and should make their decision according to their best knowledge that will mean the greatest benefit to themselves as well as other cotton growers, ? . County Farm Agent J. E. Dodson, said this morning. One factor that should be kept in mind is that# due to the excessive amount of cotton now on hand and the large amount that the Commodity Credit Corporation has loaned money on at the ".rate of $9.85 per hundred, based | on cotton graded and staple 15-16 midling, the Secretary of Agriculture announces that if the growers decide not to limit the i production of cotton for 1941 ' that the Commodity Credit Corporation can not continue to loan cotton growers money on cotton ! produced in 1940 or in 1941, the farm agent continued. i The discontinuation of the cot ton loan will be in effect when . the Secretary of Agriculture proclaims the results of the referendum and finds that more than one-third of the growers voted j against Marketing Quota for 1941 (he said. I It is expected that meetings " | will be held in various parts of i Brunswick county for the purpose of explaining to the cotton growers any details regarding the cotton situation and any questions that they may have in mind regarding Cotton Marketing Quota for 1941. 1941 cotton allotments for individual growers will be mailed to them prior to the referendum that will be held December 7th.
