G., W REA System In Area Observes Its Anniversary Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation Now Entering Upon Its Fourth Year Of Service FIRST LINES PUT IN USE IN 1939 First Lines Of The Corporation Were Energized On December 18, 1939; Supt. Bishop Recalls Advancement The Brunswick Elecertic Membership Corporation, Shallotte, is now entering upon its fourth year of service in bringing electricity to farmers and other rural consumers in this area. Citing the growth of the cooperative since its lines were first energized on December 18, 1939, Superintendent Edison D. Bishop recalled that the system had only 233 consumers at the end of Its first month of operation. The Cooperative's program got underway on May 11, 1939, when the REA allocated $171,000 of its first loan to the system. Construction started after a contract had been let on September 13, 1939, for ttie building of 190 miles of line at a cost of $119,737. Today the Cooperative furnishes electric servirn tr? 1 rnnanmora a Inncr 477 miles of distribution lines in Brunswick, Columbus, Bladen and Robeson counties. REA has advanced the Cooperative a total of $373,313 on its construction allotments as of September 30, 1942. The average consmptlon on farms served by the Cooperative was 41,706 kilowatt hours in October, an increase of 7,326 KWH over a year ago. Mr. Bishop said this increased consumption reflects a greater use of electricity to save Jabor in the production of vital fods for the war. The Cooperative has plans available and is urging its members to build home-made pig and chick brooders and dehydrators to conserve foods. The appliances require ^ew critical materials and will augment the dwindling supply of manufactured equipment for the 1943 farming season. Electric ievices saving a substantial amount of labor on the farm also include water pumps, milking machines, washing machines, ranges ind irons. i -r Women Holding Shipyard Jobs C mnlmrAOC A POR" n A Good Con ednesday, January 13, Stockholders Of Credit Body To Meet This Month Arrangements Being Completed For Meeting January 22, At The Customs House In Wilmington BRUNSWICK MEN SERVE ON BOARD All Members Of Production Credit Organization Urged To Plan To Attend Annual Meeting Arrangements are being completed for the ninth annual stockholder's meeting of the Wilmington Production Credit Association which will be held in the office of the Home Demonstration Agent, Custom House, Wilmington, January 22, beginning at 10:00 in the morning. According to H. B. Rivenbark, secretary-treasurer, a large attendance is expected. Even with the strict gasoline rationing it is expected that farmers will adopt the "Share the Ride" plan and bring their farmer neighbors to this important business meeting, at which time a complete and detailed report on the operations of the Association will be made to the stockholders. "Preparations for this ninth annual meeting comes at the end of the most successful year of busi ness in the history of this farmers' cooperative short-term credit organization, which make shortterm loans for agricultural and livestock purposes to farmers of New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick Counties," said Mr. Rivenbark. Mr. Rivenbark said that an interesting program of business and intertainment has been arranged. Officers of the Association are: John R. Morris, president, Wilmington; W. H. Lewis, vice-president, Atkinson; and H. B. Rivenbark, secretary-treasurer. Directors in addition to the president and vice-president are: J. W. Sellers, Jr., Supply; John B. Ward, Ash; and W. O.

County TinlWay Help Defense Statistics Show That Reducing Amount Of Canned Goods Used Will Aid Defense Manufacturing Brunswick county housewives can save enough steel for 1,326 machine guns simply by replacing one can of fruits or vegetables a week during the coming year with fresh or home-packed produce, a leading food distributor estimated today. "This substitution, urged by the War Production Board, will not only save steel but also conserve food by using extra supplies of fresh produce made available by increased production, canning restrictions and reduced storage facilities," according to Earl R. French, marketing director of the Atlantic Commission Company. A number two "tin" can averages .235 pounds of steel plus a small amount of tin, and a single) family can save 12.2 pounds of steel in a year by the can-a-week reduction, French said. Thus Brunswick County's 3,806 families can save 46,433 pounds of steel, enough to make 1,326 thirty-calibre machine guns, each requiring 35 pounds of steel for manufacture, he pointed out. "Reduced buying of canned produce doesn't mean reducing food consumption. Housewives can balance their family diets by serving more fresh produce, and our records show that many families are already doing this. In 1941 American farmers moved 142,372 carlots of fresh fruits and vegetables to consumers through the Atlantic Commission Company, 10 per cent more than in 1940 and an all-time high record," French said. The program would save 9,683,066 pounds of steel if carried out by all of North Carolina's (Continued on page 2o Tobacco Beds Being Planted Despite the fact that the weather has not been offering anything in the way of encouragement, a few Brunswick tobacco growers have already planted their seed beds, and a great many mn-A l?ut,A murlo nrnrmrHtinns fori sowing.

Charlie Hattem Is Closed Up I Judgment In Recorder's Court Here Monday Provides For His Selling Business And Leaving County Arrangements were completed here in Recorder's court Monday for the dissolution of a business enterprise that has long been a thorn in the side of law enforcement officers ana residents of Northwest township when Judge John B. Ward ordered Charles Hattem to close his place, sell his business and leave the county. Hattem was caught Thursday afternoon with 10 cases of taxpaid liquor. The arrest was made on highway No. 17 near Bolivia by Sgt. J. R. Smith, Lt. A. T. Moore and Sgt. J. R. Pridgen of the highway patrol. Hattem pleaded guilty Monday to charges of transporting, and the judgment of the court was that he serve 2 years on the roads, sentence to be suspended upon payment of costs and a fine of $200.00.

A generous retreading quota for this 1 county this month has resulted in a relaxation of this policy, and certificates will be furnished to | all persons with recappable carcasses in their possession as long as the' county quota holds out. There are also available a good number of certificates for truck retreading service. The situation with regard to new tires is still serious, and efforts this week on the part of ra- ' tloning board officials to obtain some relief from the state office were without success. The appli- : cations of the most needy will 1 be given primary consideration, and in on case will be a new 1 fifth tire be furnished a motorists until other eligible motorists have a chance to get four good tires on the ground. n Machinery jins At Bolivia Farmers May Register For 36-Hour Course That Will Teach Them How To Keep Implements In Shape J.

Program Year For AAA Ends December 31st 1 Due To Recent Change In The Closing Date Of The Program Year, It Is Announced FIRST ANNOUNCED FROM WASHINGTON Change In The Date of The Program Year Was Announced First at Washington, And Is Now Effective In N. C. Farmers of North Carolina will have until December 31, 1943, to complete practices under the 1943 AAA program due to a change in the closing date of the program year, it was announced today by H. A. Patten, Acting State AAA Executive Assistant. The closing date for the 1942 program was November 1, he said. However, this waa extended until November 15 last year for the purpose of seeding winter I legume crops and spreading solibuilding materials, provided the' t seed or materials were in the county by November 1. The axtension of time was granted because of unusually heavy rain-Hall I it the time when these practices normally would have been carried jut. ' Change in the closing date Of the program year was announced it Washington and is effective ifi North Carolina and other states nf the AAA's East Central Division, Patten declared. "Extension of the closing dsle to December 31 will serve as a j tistinct advantage to many farm:rs, particularly in carrying out ate practices such as seeding vinter legumes nd spreading J lime and phosphate," he said. a 'Many farmers this year will be j ielayed considerably in carrying J )ut their normal farming opera- a iions because of a shortage of abor, and this change will allow diem time tc complete their prac- I dees after most crops are har- ' y+t?i> At the same time, it will '] *mgr thehe end of the calendar year." For the current year, Patten laid, farmers will have a total >eriodoffourteen months in which io carry out practices for which inits may be earned under the L943 AAA program.
