WERE BY ROWBOAT
Many Citizens Remember
Days When Deliveries
Were All Made By
Steamer From 'Wilmington
(By HARRY HAYDEN
In Wilmington Post)
Now that airplanes are carrying
he mails with greater speed than
he speediest winds, Captain Jesse
'rice, retired mariner residing at
iarbor Island, this week conrasted
this speedy mode of deli erv
with the snail like speed of
he row boat that once transportid
the mails between Wilmington
ind Southport, a distance of apiroximately
30 miles.
Captain Price said the first row
oat carrying the mail between
hesc points was the May Shep erd,
which was scheduled to dciver
the mail at Southport every
Tuesday and Saturday, according
,o the tide; and this boat was
lupcrccded by the sailboat Parrish
"rink, whose schedule was conrolled
completely by the winds.
The first steamboat to carry
he mail between Wilmington and
Southport was "The Bee," a boat
milt by Captain Walter Taft, who
ilso constructed her engine; and
his craft made deliveries every
ther day at Wilmington and
southport. Captain W. E. Mayo,
i former saw filer and mechanic
or Kidder's Lumber company,
vas the master of "The Bee."
"The Dixie," with Captain Tom
facobs as master, was the next
nail boat, said Captain Price, kho
eportcd that Captain Jacobs once
escued him after he had fallen
verboard in attempting to get
iboard. This craft also had ac;ommodations
for 10 or 15'
asscngers, and it was owned by
J. G. Parsley, who was also the
wner of the next mail boat, "The
Jnderhill." (Captain Price said
Hr. Parsley was a member of
F'ersley & Wiggins Lumber com>any,
.and the father of Aubrey,
iVilliam and Walter Parsley.)
Japtain Charlie Gillican, who was
he father of Walter, Effie and
Slsie Gillican Captain Price, was
;he pilot of "The Underhill," a
iide - wheeler passenger and
Freight boat.
"The Passport" was the next
nailboat. Captain Price reported,
saying that this passenger craft
vas originally owned by the
Theesborough Manufacturing com
jany (the present sponsors of Dr.
Christian's-radio program), and it
,vas formerly used as a private
^acht. (George Meyers, who was

these trees were standing ten

would reach from New York to
San Francisco.
Taking everything into consideration,
the woodlands constitute
the greatest crop that
can be grown in the south. All
out efforts to win the war must
include protection of essential
woodlands from forest fires.
It is necessary for continuous
viligence in the effort to prevent
forest fires from getting
started, and all out combative
measures against them once
they do break out.
Recent widespread publicity
of forest fire prevention efforts
in Brunswick and Columbus
counties, with special reference
to the Rigel Paper Corporation,
its extensive planting of trees
and the protection given these
trees along with native stock
and cooperation with neighboring
landowners, has resulted ir
bringing out some interesting
information relative to trees

Housewives of Brunswick county
shopping this week under revised
point values for both processed
foods and meats and fats
will find that careful planning will
enable them to buy more than
ever before with their stamps in
War Ration Book Two. Mrs.
Grace D. Jones, clerk of the War
Price and Rationing Board at
Southport, said today.
New point values for both blue
and red stamp rationing program
were effective Sunday, May
2.
The meats and fats program
showed 25 reductions and 16 advances
? all- of one point ?
while the processed foods values
in a number of cases were reduced
as much as one half, while
advances, in general were one or
two points.
Advances under the red stamp
program are confined largely to
prime cuts ? steaks and roasts
?of beef, veal and pork. Reductions,
for the most part, are noted
in variety meats, canned fish and
other special products already
having a relatively low point
value.
In processed rooas, one-nan reductions
in the point value of
fruit and vegetable juices and in
some fruits were made. Advances
were made in canned or bottled
pineapple ? the most point-expensive
item on this list ? and
on apricots and mixed fruits; on
green peas, asparagus, corn, mixed
vegetables and tomato paste,
while reduction came in the most
popular of all canned foods, tomatoes,
and in green beans and leafy
greens (with the exception of
spinach).
