The first inspection cruise for
fish this season was made yesterday
by the boat John M. Morehead.
Captain J. B. Church. No
fish were found at any point down
the coast.
On the return trip they encountered
quite a good show of
f'sh at the mouth of the river,
just off the bar. A catch of sixty
thousand was made. Captain
Church stated last night that
while there was a good show of
'hese fish they would be in rather
small schools for some weeks
yet. They will afford some fair
fishing and he hopes to find
larger schools at some other nearby
points.
A lot of small bluefish were
and Captain Church said that
it was his expectation that continued
operations will reveal the
presence of plenty of these- fish.
Mackerel will also soon be showing
up.
(ither local boats that are now
fishing in Florida are not expected
to return to begin work here
for four or five weeks unless the

The first young Oyster ,
catchers (birds) of the year
made their, appearance in the
nests at the rookery on Battery
Island on May 20. This is said
to be an early date for these
birds in North Carolina. Some
time ago the early appearance
of the American Egrets at the
rookery broke all records for
North Carolina.
Young Snowy Egrets are also
now hatching out in great
numbers. The first American
Egrets to hatch out this season
made their appearance over a
month ago. Some of them are
already grown and on the wing.
Little Blue Herons and Great
Blue herons are also at the
rookery, old and young, in great
numbers.

He has been doing this steadily
and reports that not only are
the bushes covered with birds
and nests, they arc completely
overrunning the several acres of
salt marsh in the rear of the

While Douglas was at the
rookery this week he found an
American Egret, apparently
four or five days old. It was
devoid of feathers except for a
few starting out on its wings.
An air blister of some sort had
got started on its long, naked
neck and had swolen it to several
times the normal/size. The
young scout brought it home,
operated upon it by making a
slight incision in the blister with
a razor blade. The next morning
the bird seemed almost entirely
well and ate ravenously of all
the fish he would give it. He is
preparing to return it to the

Summary
IRA- ? 'tir*
Southern fruits and vegetables
moved to market in heavier volume
during the third week ot
May, according to a report released
by the Food Distribution Administration.
The scene of harvest
operations is shifting northward
as the season progresses,
but the bulk of movement is stili
from Florida, Louisiana, and
South Georgia. Bean movement is
at the peak in many localities
with considerable diversion to
canners. Florida limas, butterbeans,
cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplant,
and green corn increased.
Demand for potatoes was not satisfied
despite heavy loadings in
Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana.
Control over shipments from five
major producing counties in
southern Alabama and western
Florida was provided effective
May 21 to assist the armed for
ces to obtain needed supplies.
Digging began in the South Carolina
area during the week. The
first Georgia 'peaches and Florida
watermelons of the season were
shipped. Strawberries are moving
in moderate amounts from North
Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and
Kentucky.

the bulk of cattle receipts'

July 27th Suggested As The
Opening Date For The
Georgia Tobacco Markets;
Other Steps
Taken
Representatives of tobacco
growers, warehousemen, and dealers
of the Carolinas and Virginia
Tuesday agreed at a meeting in
Raleigh unanimously on a plan
for modifying warehouse selling
seasons to avoid a possible conflict
of tobacco marketing with
harvesting of other farm crops.
The action came after Governor
Broughton appeared before the
meeting and warned that, "If no
satisfactory agreement is reached,
I shall, if necessary, use all
my powers by Constitution and
statutes in closing tobacco warehouses
by proclamation to get
crops harvested."
FOUR-FOLD PLAN
Here is the four-fold plan
agreed upon and presented to
Governor Broughton Tuesday
afternoon:
1. To urge the sales committee
of the United States Tobacco Association
to adopt these opening
dates for tobacco belt seasons:
Georgia - Florida Beit, July 27;
South Carolina-Border Belt, August
3; Eastern Belt, August 19;
Middle Belt, August 31; Old Belt,
September 7. Warehouses are
urged to open as soon as possible
and to close as late in the season
as possible.
2. To sponsor adoption of these
regulations of sales on warehouse
floors: A 350-pound limit on tobacco
baskets; a limit of 360 baskets
per hour for auctioneers; a
five-hour limit on daily working
hours of buyesr; no sales in warehouses
except through regulated
auctions. Tobacco manufacturers
are urged to instruct their buyers
to observe these rules and not
to purchase tobacco on sales at
which these rules are not observed.

May Be Used For Purchase
Of Five Pounds Of
Canning Sugar
Citizens were warned Tuesday
by the Brunswick War Price
and Rationing board that they
must not take advantage of the
five pounds of sugar allowable
after May 31 on Ration stamps
15 and 16 unless they plan to use
the sugar for canning purposes.
Lengthy instructions have come
to the local board explaining that
the stamps may be used by persons
who contemplate canning
activity, but that others who attempt
to use them will be subject
to severe Federal penalties.
Housewives who urgently need
more than the amount of sugar
obtainable by use of the 15 and
16 coupons will be required to
make application to the board.
However, officials signified their
intentions of turning down all but
the most important applications.
"We shall not be able to release
much extra sugar," the
board chairman declared.

General Alarm Caused By P

One of the most touching stor-*ies
of moi'.ier love and of the joys
and sorrows of war occurred in
Brunswick county recently, but
wound up with a happy ending.

worried over the fate of her son.
Being a woman of strong Christian
convictions, she decided to
unburden her troubles to the
Lord, and so she entered a
closet of her home to pray.
Exhausted from continual care,
she fell asleep in the closet. This
was about mid-afternoon. When
her husband came in from the
field, he could not find her,
and felt some concern at her absence.
When a preliminary search
failed to reveal her whereabouts,
a general alarm was spread, and neighbors
joined in the effort to j
discover where she was.
Late that night, Mr. Hughes
entered the closet, and found his c
wife slumped over on the floor j
in sound slumber. All anxiety over j
her condition was soon dispelled, e
