Tn Word from V( Says Legislation Authorizing Establishment Of Naval Base At Southport Is Now In Hands Of President FINAL ACTION IS EXPECTED SOON Because Some Funds Are A?r_ady Available, It Is Thought That Immediate Action May Come WASHINGTON, June 17.?Legislation authorizing the establishment of Naval base at Southport was sent to the White House Tuesday for President Roosevelt's H. H. Thomas, manager of Caswell-Carolina Corporation, said Saturday that he had been called to Charleston, S. C., the first of this week to confer with Naval officials. He did not elaborate upon the nature of his business. signature, following unanimous approval of the measure by the1 Senate late yesterday. The bill, authorizing construction of the Naval base at a cost of $877,000, was passed without a single objection in the Senate in exactly the same forpi as it was passed by the House. This unani- j mous action permitted the mea sure to be sent directly to the White House for final action by J the President, making it law. j Officials on Capitol Hill and at( the Navy Department said there | was no doubt but that the Pres-; ident would give the legislation his speedy approval. Vessels used in coastal and har- i bor patrol, mine sweeping, submarine detection and attack, coastal convoy and net tending will be stationed at the "section base" that is to be part of a chain that will ring the entire coast. (continued on page four) j First Sailfish O On Caroline Captain Victor P. Lance, a veteran of big game fishing, went for sail fish out on his sport fishing cruiser, Tarobill, Thursday and brought in a beautiful 6-foot 9-inch beauty. It was taken by Roy Lennon of Bladenboro after a 30-minute fight in which Mr. Nance be- | came almost as hot and exhausted as the fish. Small sails have been taken before this off Southport, but it was always accidently. No one had gone to look for them, although many people well versed in fish lore were of the opinion that there were great areas of deep water lying east and west of Frying Pan shoals in which both sails and marlin forlicked during the summer and fall months.

Last Thursi day two company auditors were ! here, as was their plant superintendent, to make investigations that arc expected to lead to a conference between the power company officials and members of the Southport Board of Aldermen.

Deputy Sheriff Seriously Hurt Douglas Cook Seriously Injured Saturday Night When Car Hit Northeast River Bridge Douglas Cook, Brunswick county deputy sheriff, was seriously injured Saturday night when the automobile in which he was traveling crashed into the concrete abutment of the Northeast River bridge on the outskirts of Wilmington.

Last summer he decided that there must be a great undeveloped big game fishing area somewhere midway between Palm Beach and Ocean City. When he finished the season at Ocean City he set out on a leisurely prospecting cruise back to Palm Beach. Stopping at serious places, he remained here two weeks and decided that there were both marlin and sails off Southport, A result was that he arrived here three weeks ago, and up to last week he had been following the more or less regular fishing lines with his cruiser. Then he had a chance to look for sails and took it, with the result that he made the first catch of its kind of the season on the Middle Atlantic coast. / klE ad News paper Southport, N.

The Whiteville team always considered one of the best in the: State vacationed here last sum-! mer. Many of last years boys will not be present on this trip, but their places will be filled by new comers who show promise of accomplishing even greater things in the high school pugilistic world than their predecessors. Listed on this years outfit were three men who had undefeated records. These are Jackie Inman, Captain Warren Cooke and Geo- j rge Wooten, Merlin Williamson lost only one and that to the ( great Glenn McCrary of Flor-( ence, S.

Although the squad numbered some 40 boys and 25 boys saw action during the season, only about 17 are on the trip. In the toughest schedule of any team in the history of the Whiteville school, the team met and defeated the best teams that could be scheduled. The team met competition from three states.

Organized Dr Made Foi Fire Is Cause Of Embarrassment The call was lo Bowery Hill; the scene a very small building track of somebody's house; flic time was Friday. The crowd had begun to gather by the time the fire truck arrived. The men took one look at the building, and the greenest recruit in the crew could easily identify the nature of the building. Then it was that the firemen's face got red. Rapidly there raced through the agile mind of the fire chief these questions; "Is the place inhabited? Should we attempt a rescue if it is, or were it better not to rescue under these conditions? Should we batter down the door the better to play the stream from the hose? And what about the ladies In the crowd?" Now while you work out these answers for yourself, we'll tell you that the situation soon was well in hand and that the building with a few minor repairs, can be made as servicable as ever.

Not shown in the Cotton Stamp Plan Discussed Merchants Of County Met Last Night At Supply To Discuss Operation Of Stamp Plan In Brunswick A large group of Brunswick county merchants met last night In the office of County Agent J. E. Dodson to hear a government representative explain the details of the Cotton Stamp program that goes into effect on July 1st. It is understood that between S4.000.00 and $5,000.00 worth of these stamps will be distributed to cotton growers in this county, ind it is necessary for the merchants to agree to abide by certain snecific regulations if thev ire to be designated as an accredited agency for handling Cotton Stamps. The idea behind the move is to reduce the surplus of cotton now on hand in the United States, and it is hoped though this program not only to encour(continued on page four) Shepherd Boy Will Go To West Point Norman C. Shepherd, Jr., of Smithfield, plans to enter West Point in July. This young man, who has frequently visited in Southport, has just completed his sophomore year at the Citadel in Charleston, S. C., where he attained a high scholastic rating. The boy's mother is the former Miss Eva Mae Lehue of this place, and his father is also well known here. SpendWeek or Lost Vaults hews expressed a keen desire to learn the exact location of the old burial sites, and immediately the imagination of the scouts was at fever pitch. The result is that the boys probably will spend a good part of their time this week exploring the dense undergrowth in the neighborhood of the place where the vaults were reported to be located. They have been promised a cash reward if their search is fruitful. Word regarding the vaults ties in with the story that a sizeable plantation was once located on Bald Head Island. Matthews hopes that discovery of the vaults will result in bringing to light other interesting facts regarding earlier life on the island.
