oughlin of Southport has mailed
ut final and definite notice to
considerable1 number of City Tax
ayers. Unless they pay up before
eptember 8th they will find
leir property being advertised
nder foreclosure proceedings.
"This" says the tax collector,
means they must pay now or
ley will either lose their properf
outright or find themselves assssed
with the additional cost of
re advertising, in the event that
iey wait and pay up before the
ctual sale."
Inquiry reveals that the propery
to be foreclosed upon includes
ome homes. In other cases vaant
and unimproved lots are inolved.
In all cases, the city taks
the position that practically all
ix payers have been and are
laking good money. There is nc

Beginning September

i
Miss Annie May Woodside,
chairman of the Brunswick County
Red Cross chapter, announces
that there will be two classes
taught in this county for first aid
training starting on Sept. 13.
Charles A. Mix, field representative
for the Red Cross, will conduct
the classes. Tentative plans
include a class at the Waccamaw
school in the afternoon of each
day and a class at the Shallotte
school in the evening.
These classes will be primarily
for instructor training so that a
number of persons will become
qualified to teach first aid later.
However, others who are interested
in having advanced first aid
or refresher courses may enroll
in these classes, too.
Miss Woodside pointed out that
these classes are a part of the
Red Cross program of civilian defense
and accident prevention
which is being extended to every
community in the county.
"Not only is the First Aider trained
to give emergency care before
the doctor comes, but he is also
trained to avoid accidents. First
Aid not only saves lives and lessens
injury; it also curtails economic
loss to the nation and the in- j
dividual," the Chairman said.
"The skills and procedures of
First Aid training are readily acquired
and understood," Miss
Woodside explained. "The course
is full of interest and covers a
variety of situations with which
everyone has had acquaintance at
some time or other. It includes
emergency care of snake bite,

A Year And Board
Regrets Present
Necessity
As in the case of other Selective
Service Boards throughout
the United States, the Brunswick
County Board has faced the necessity
of calling married men with
children with great reluctance.
Such men who are not engaged in
essential industry were supposed
to be taken several months ago.
Here, as in other counties, Chairman
Price Furpless and the members
of the board, Messers J. E.
Carr and Joe Loughlin, have de

This week they received definite
order to begin the work of calling
men who are not in defense or
essential industries.
The following statement was
today issued by General J. Van
B. Meets, State Director of Selective
Service:
"Recent directives from National
Headquarters require the
reclassification of pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers without regard to
their eligibility for a III-A classification.
Such registrants who are
employed in war production or in
support of the war effort are in
no danger of reclassification. Such
registrants whose induction would
result in "extreme hardship and
privation" to a wife, parent, or
child, may be deferred for dependency
in Class II-D. All other
registrants now classified in
III-A on account of their family
/status should not be surprised if
they receive notice that they have
been classified in Class 1-A.

father finds himself in Class

that he will be inducted imme(Continued
