Been Assigned To Section
Base At Ft. Caswell
Dr. Landis G. Brown, Lieutenant
in the Medical Gorps of the
U. S. Naval Reserves, has been
transferred from the Naval Hospital
at Charleston, S. C? to the
Section Base at Southport and reported
for duty today.
Although it was reported that
several navy men took over at
Caswell Monday, no definite in- 1
formation on this question was
available today.
Dr. Brown was called to active
duty several months ago after
engaging in general practice and
surgery here for the previous I
year. Since that time he has been
assigned to the surgical staff of
the Charleston Naval Hospital.
Dr. Brown will maintain his
residence and will have his office
here in Southport, and it is un- '
der stood that he will be permitted
to carry on private practice
when it does not interfere- with I
his Naval duties. J:

Southern Kraft Corporation of
Georgetown, owners of considerable
land in that section and
elsewhere, has advised local interests
that while most of their
lands are posted against trespassing,
they have no objections
to fox hunting or normal operations,
provided the hunters ex rcise
care against starting forest
fires and otherwise abusing
privileges that should be
respected.
Dr. J. V. Davis, formerly of
Concord, now residing at Southport

NINE DIE THROUGH ,
MONTH OF OCTOBER J
State Shows An Increase
From 738 Last Year To
1,001 Deaths On The
Highways Through
October Of This
Year j
RALEIGH, Nov. 20.?With j
North Carolina counties reporting
for October the greatest number i
of motor vehicle traffic fatalities i
ever reported in a single month, <
141, the year's total deaths skyrocketed
to 1,001 for the period |
from January through October, t
1941, according to figures releas- j
ed today by the Highway Safety .
Division. J
During the ten month period j
Brunswick county reported nine ,
fatalities as compared to five
during the same period of 1940. '
The three types of accidents in
which the greatest number of persons
have been killed this year '
are pedestrian with 288 dead,
collision of two motor vehicles
with 251 dead and ran off roadway
with 244 deaths.
Bicycle aeacns ior me ten mon- 1
ths totaled 39 against 14 for the |
same period last year, an increase
of 25 fatalities for a percentage
increase of 178. Collision
deaths in right of way disputes
between automobiles and railroad
trains have reached 39 for
this year for an increase of 38.4
percent over the same period of
last year.
North Carolina's 1001 deaths
this year compare with 738 for
1941, an increase of 263 dead for
a percentage increase of 35.6
compared with a national increase
in deaths of approximately
18 per cent.
The ten leading counties with
the number of fatalities in each
county follow: Mecklenburg, 44;
Cumberland, 41; Wake, 41; Guilford,
37; Robeson, 32; Buncombe,
27; Columbus 25; Gaston, 25;
Harnett, 24; and Davidson, 23.
Sixty-six of the State's counties
or 66 per cent have reported
an increase in the number of
deaths over a like period of 1941.
Farm Machinery
Must Be Kept I
Chairman Of USDA Defen- '
se Board For County
Calls Attention To Need
For Keeping Equipment
To keep every farm machine in
Brunswick county in top-notch
condition and place every usable
piece of equipment in shape is
vitally necessary if Brunswick
county is to do its part in the
1942 Farm Defense Program, declares
B. R. Bennett, chairman of
the County USDA Defense Board.
With the manufacture of new I
machinery and equipment in 1942
sharply curtailed because of defense
demands on supplies of
steel, cooper, and other metals,
farmers will have to depend more
upon existing machinery, Mr. Bennett
explained. In addition to the
scarcity of new equipment, farmers
may find the available farm
labor limited in 1942.
Any difficulty in obtaining parts
sr materials needed for the repair
of farm machinery should be
eported immediately to the County
USDA Defense Board, said Mr.
Bennett.
The board will attempt to help
the farmer or the dealer obtain
the needed article. Some local or
temporary shortages may develop
secause of unusual demand for
:ertain replacement parts, but
nanufacturers will be able to
lecure sufficient metals to pro- '
luce the necessary parts. Alloca- *
Lions of steel and other metals
vill be made manufacturers in
>rder to meet the requirements,
srovided farmers do not wait until
spring to place their orders.
County USDA Defense Boards,
icting on the request of Secretary
>f Agriculture Claude R. Wickird,
arc urging farmers to check
ill machinery and equipment for
>ossible worn or damaged parts
ind to order replacement parts
mmediately. Early orders can be
ixpected to get right-of-way, said
dr. Bennett and by acting withlut
delay, farmers may be able
o assure themselves of obtainng
their needs.
"If many farmers put off orderng
repair parts, some will have
o go without them and valuable
:rops may be lost as a result,"
