E. Game. As a rule Mr. Gause is always accommodating to taxpayers bent on paying their taxes, in this instance he got a bit cantankerous and refused to count the money. It was all in pennies and the job of counting looked altogether too big. However, Mr. Gause showed his resourcefulness. He lugged the bag of money across the street to the bank where Cashier Prince O'Brien brought both a pair of scales and a banker's scientific deductions into play. He found out that the pennies weighed exactly 28pounds. His experience In monetary exchange knocked down the weight result to mean that there was exactly 8,450 pennies, or $84.50 represented ,and this was exactly the amount of taxes that Mr. Lewis was due the county. It was, of course, all clement- . ary, but satisfactory. | Gas Shortage Threatens Here i Indication That First Pinch j \Vill Be Felt By Shrimping Boats In September There is a threat that the first I pinch of the gas shortage will hit!

A sort of improvised bear hunt in the Freeland community has resulted in a fine Brunswick county farm being available for rent. It seems that a bear had been making a habit of raiding j the premesis of E. M.

Plans to i waylay the bear through still- \ hunting methods were to no J avail until Weston Evans and j two companions finally caught the marauder in the act.

Conducting Te May Use S ? *These Have Previously Been If A Total Waste, But If Recent Experiments Are Success, New Business May Result SHRIMP MEAL IS VERY VALUABLE If Successful Plan Of Processing Is Evolved This May Be Manufactured From Waste For the first time in the history of the local shrimping industry a serious effort is being made to convert the waste product of the fishery into- a product . with commercial possibilities, it was announced here today by Frank A. Montgomery, of Wilmington, and Enfield. The product under consideration is a meal manufactured from shrimp heads and shrimp too small for the trade. Associated with Mr. P Montgomery are Dr. Rhos. M. P Hunter, of Henderson, and a pro- E minent North Carolina feed man- o: ufacturer, whose identity Mr. 11 Montgomery stated that he was not in a position at this time to j1. reveal. " si The tests have been underway h for a little over one week, but, due to unsettled weather condi- t] tions for the past few days, a . supply of the shrimp waste has f< been scarce, and only approxi- L mately 125 pounds have Been pro- ir cessed. This material was furn- n ished Mr. Montgomery through the countesy of Capt. Jim Arn- ^ old, local shrimp and sea food j, dealer. Approximately 35 pounds t( of the finished meal has been' y produced. All tests have been conducted in the N. C. Fisheries e] building, the use of which was u given Mr. Montgomery by town' ]c authorities. Mr. Montgomery stated that he was highly gratified Cl at the spirit of cooperation given g him by Capt. John Erickson, t] mayor of Southport, and the p Board of Aldermen, as well as p sea food dealers and other in- tl terested and forward-looking citi- cj zens. a Mr. Montgomery informed the si State Port Pilot that the work b he is undertaking here has thel a full cooperation of the State De- t( si ar Cause I Farm For Rent ? a: soon cornered the culprit to the d> point that he had to make a fight of it. In the ensueing 01 squabble the bear was busily Ul counting Evans' ribs when the dl man managed to pour another el shot of lead into the animal's vital regions. ' Having emerged victor in this fearful combat, Evans looked J: about him for his erstwhile p companions of the bear hunt s) and found (and from here we ^ quote) "they had all left, and 0 when he found them, E.

Instead, Judge Walter M. Stanaland will hold his weekly sesslOR on Thursday, September 4, In order to clear his docket of cases and pave the way for trial of necessary matters In Superior court which convenes one week from Monday. All offices In the courthouse will be closed for business, as officials take advantage of the holiday. The same holds true for the city officials and with the poet- ' office and local bank. artment of Agriculture, the Deartment of Conservation and evelopment, Dr. Roy Dearstine, f State College, and officials of re U. S. Department of the In:rior, Division of Fisheries Inustry. All of these organizaons arc extremely interested in :eing' a use developed for what as previously been a total loss ) fishermen and dealers, namely le inedible portion of marketble shrimp and those too small >r the trade. In the event such use can be developed, it would i all probability mean a few lore dollars each season in the ockets of local shrimpers and ealers, as Mr. Montgomery said e wanted all interested parties > know that it was his wish and le wish of those with whom he i associated to see that the fishrmen and dealers obtain someling for what has been a dead >ss to them. In disclosing information conirning the tests being made in outhport, Mr. Montgomery said lat he did not at all desire to aint too rosy a picture of the' ossibilities of the projected venire .even in the event commerial production was undertaken,s any industry based on the irimp waste would of necessity e rather small in scope, due to limited amount of the raw ma:rial available. He did wish to Lress, however, that, in his opinio, no matter how small returns ere to everyone concerned, still ley would represent dollars and mts which have been heretofore irown away without benefit to nyone. Too, he said, the new inustry, if successful, might prove > be the forerunner of a larger ne which might, in time, make se of various other fishery proucts for which there is, at presit, little, if any demand. Shrimp meal, the product uner consideration, has been prov11 to be very high in various inredients necessary in feed suplements for dairy, swine and oultry feeds, and is highly deirable as a feedstuff when used l connection with fish meal and ther products. Some meal sultble for feeding is at present belg produced in California and long the Gulf coasts, but moit f the present production goes lto fertilizer manufacture.

' It. is a tougn job to collect a sizeable bunch of good looking girls and take them anywhere without a swarm of admiring males appearing in the' offing. The closed corporation that engineered the Sunday trip to the island appears to have done very nicely, and the boys who j got in on this trip had to serve as pistol, shotgun, sword or camera bearers. The idea of the whole thing was to make pictures that would serve to color pirate stories. Good looks have always been an essential, then as now, to the female pirate.
