Other interesting parts of the program were: reports and plans of the five counties represented, the singing if "Anchors Wweigh," by the crew of the U. S. S. Brunswick and many songs and games which were led by Mrs. D. I. Watson and thoroughly enjoyed by the guests. About sixty guests were present from Brunswick, New Hanover, Duplin and Pender counties.

They made a nice catch of dolphin and amberjack. Returning to port, Bill Baker, ace cameraman for the State News Bureau, frankly told W. B.

It is certain, however, the circumstances under which the deer was killed were such as to entitle her to feel greatly elated. ri I ??f dost Of The News All The Time j =! $1.50 PER YEAR ' )utdoor Writers Meeting Attracts Outstanding Men > ????? epresentatives From Leading Dailies Of Eastern Cities Here For Outdoor Writers Association Of America UNTING - FISHING HOLDS INTEREST icluded Among Visitors iVas Dr. T.
