Against Three High Men I
In Race For Party Nomination
Saturday
As a result of a ruling receiv- j
sd during the past week from the|
secretary of the State Board of I
Elections the name of George C.!
Swain will not appear as a can-j
iidate for county commissioner j
sn the ballots printed for the i
second primary election to be I
seld Saturday.
The state board ruled that ,Mr. (
Swain failed to file with the
Brunswick county board within
the time prescribed by law, and 1
i* 1 ViirrVi mon in I I
Lnai orny uic uucc mgu iwv<> ,
the first race, and Sam Joe Frink, i
who filed within the prescribed I
period, were eligible to make the
second race.
This means that the Democratic
voters have their choice of three
candidates for commissioner from
the four men running. These are
Stephen Mintz, Otho Bellamy, L.
t~. Tripp and Sam Joe Frink.
There is more interest in the
second primary race between. So-'
licitor David Sinclair and Clifton
L. Moore for .the nomination as j
solicitor for the eighth judicial j
district than there is in the race 11
for county commissioner. Moore
was high man in the first -prima
ry, and received the high vote j
In Brunswick. However, with Al- 1
ton Lennon, the third candidate,
out of the race, followers of Sinclair
hope to be able to pick up I
' A1- /?.-A?oomn tlio i I
enough strengui w
Moore lead.
The prospect is for a light vote
throughout the county.

Our President has requested
that all rubber be collected before

to search diligently and take
all old automobile tires, .innertubes,
rubber shoe soles, rubber

old hot water bottles, rubber

contains rubber regardless of
how small the amount might be,

A record of more than two

of the 17,125 persons in Brunswick
county was compiled during
the first week of the drive
as the public cooperated onehundred
percent with the filling

K. D. White, of Shallotte,

and on Saturday afternoon was
able to report to state headquarters
that 35,200-lbs of
scrap rubber had been collected
and paid for by gasoline dealers
throughout Brunswick.
The good work has continued
during the early part of this
week, and it is reasonable to expect
the final total to go above
the 50,000-lb mark.

Bounty
On Enemy Fish
I
Annoyed by the presence of
too many garfish In the waters
of Orton pond, Jim Ferger, the
plantation manager, told a
friend this week that he planned
to pay sportsmen a bounty
of $2.00 on each garfish they
caught.
The friend, with some knowledge
of garfish and of the 1,300
acre pond, told Jim that he
might be letting himself in for
a lot of trouble at $2.00 per
head. There are probably thousands
of garfish In the pond,
and if anyone went seriously
about the business of catching
them, it would take a mint of
money to pay the bounty.

The deceased was a native of

His wife preceeded him to the
grave several years ago. One brother,
Joe Bland, of Ash; and four
sisters, Mrs. Amanda Parker, Mrs.

Collector of Internal Revenue
Charles H. Robertson is again
calling attention to the fact that
auto use stamps in the denomina-j
tion of $5.00 were placed on sale
in all postoffices and offices of
Collectors of Internal Revenue on
Wednesday, June 10. The stamps
will be serially numbered, will be
gummed on the face, and will
have provision on the back for
entry of the make, model, serial
number and State license number
of the vehicle.
It is important that these
stamps be ' purchased promptly,
as possession of the auto use
stamp with the serial number
printed on it will be one of the
necessary means of identifying the
coupon book with the vehicle for
which it was purchased in the
securing of gasoline in the gasoline-rationed
areas.
Every owner of a motor vehicle
which is used upon the highways
should call at his local postoffice

Not Only Are Gardens
Plentiful, But There Appears
To Be Sentiment
Favoring Conservation
Mapping out a continuance of
the gardening work with plans
for year-round production of foodstuffs
instead of just during the
spring and summer. Miss Genevivie
Eakes, home demonstration
agent, had the assistance of Miss
Veina Stanton, district agent,
from State College, last week.
Miss Eakes and Miss Stanton
attended the Agricultural Workers
Council at Bolivia and the
home demonstration club meeting
at Leland. The balance of the
time was spent in conference with
leaders among the farm women in
several of the communities.
Miss Eakes says that the spring
and summer months have brought
a splendid production of vegetables
and fruits, much of which
has already been canned. With a
continuance of the good production
weather throughout the summer
and fall months, the coming
of winter will see all records
broken with the amount of fruits
and vegetables processed by the
farm women of the county.
It is beir.g pu.nceu out that the
matter of conserving foodstuffs is
not stopping short of rural residents.

of the river near the town of
Shallotte. It seems that the kids
have made it a habit of long
standing to get a head start
and roll old tires into the Shallotte
river to see who could
make the biggest splash. Now 1
those same youngsters are just
as enthusiastic about digging
the tires out of the mud at ]
low tide, to fishing for them at
othef times with alligator
hooks.
These tactics doubtless contributed
to the fact that the
Coast Road Service Stataion led
all other places in the county
in Saturday's report with 9,000
lbs. At Bolivia Elmore's Garage
was the central collecting
place, and 8,500-lbs were collected
there. Elbert Kirby's
store at Supply was the cen- !
ter for that community, and 4,900-lbs
were reported.

Gasoline Ration Card To
July 22; Registration
Begins July 9th
Two announcements of interest
have been received during the
first two days of this week by
the Brunswick County Rationing
Board.
The first is that stamp No. 5
in War Ration Book No. 1 is
good for the purchase of two
pounds c? sugar between June
28th and July 25th; and that
stamp No. 6 in War Ration Book
No. 1 is good for the purchase
of two pounds of sugar between
July 26th and August 22nd.
It will be noted that while the
purchase value of each of these
two stamps has been doubled, the
period for which they must serve
aiso nas oeen aouoiea, uius giving
them the same comparative
value as was assigned the first
four stamps.
The other announcement has to
do with gasoline. Motorists will
have to use their present gasoline
ration card until July 22 instead
of July 15, as had been previously
announced. The period for registration
also has been moved up
to July 9-10-11 instead of holding
it on July 1-2-3 as had previously
been announced.
A representative of the Brunswick
County Ration Board wishes
to remind persons desiring
sugar for home canning that there
is no deadline, so far as is now
known, for making application
for this sugar. However, when
application is made, the information
should be provided to show
the names and number of persons
in the family, together with the
total number of quarts of fruit
canned last year, and an estimate
of this year's canning of
fruits.
Says Urgent Need
For Stenographers
Examinations Being Held
Daily At Customhouse In
Wilmington To Secure
Girls To Fill Vacancies
The Civil Service Commission
is urgently in need of stenographers
and typists to fill positions in
Washington, D. C. To meet this
need, arrangements have been
made to give examinations for
these positions daily in Room 225,
Customhouse, Wilmington. These
examinations will begin at 9:30
A. M. and 2:30 P. M.
All applicants must be 18 years
of age, and must bring their own
typewriters to the examination.
Because of the national emergency,
qualification requirements
have been lowered. The basic salary
for typists and stenographers
is $1440 per annum.
All persons who may be able
to qualify should make arrangements
to take the examination as
soon as possible. This is an excellent
opportunity for beginning
a career with the Federal Government.
Appointments will be made
effective almost immediately to
those who pass the examination.
in saving foodstuffs this year has
increased ever previous years.
Summer and fall gardens ift
Brunswick will be plentiful and;
in many cases, the efforts will extend
right on through the winter,
as far as possible. With this
county having one of the longest
growing seasons of any section
of the state, and with very mild
winters, when winter comes,
something or other in the way
of foodstuffs can be in process
of making the whole year-round
in the gardens and on the farms.

U. S. Destroyer Will Be
Named For Captain Ottoway
Burns, Famous Captain
Of War Of 1812
Mrs. George Cannon has received
a letter from her uncle, Alex
Canady, of Denmark, S. C., telling
of his invitation to the laying
of the keel of the torpedo destroyer,
"Otway Burns," on May
9th at the Savannah ship yard.
Mr. Canady will also make the
trial trip on the destroyer.
Captain Otway Burns, for
whom the boat is named, was a
privateer of the War of 1812 and
was in command of the "Snapdragon"
which worried the British
during the course of the war.
Capt. Burns was the maternal
grandfather of Mr. Canaday and
great-grandfather of Mrs.. Geo.
