The Cap(Continued on Page Two) j Storms Were A In Old Sai Comparatively new residents of Southport, know little of the terror of September and October storms. To begin with, storms are not so bad as they were two and more decades ago. Added to the lessening danger is the fact that sail boats, on which men went down to the sea in the past, have been lost in the shuffling forward march of time. To sailors of the old days sailboats were a joy forever. All owners of such craft, large or small, believed his own was the best. In the hearts of their owners the craft with their billowing canvas won a place of affection and esteem that the power boats never have, and i never will be able to gain. Despite the love of the old time sailor for his boat, the use of such craft was often a hazardous undertaking. Cape Fear at Southport got its name from being a cape to be feared by mariners.

Estate Goes To Relatives Abroad Brother And Sister In England To Receive Estate1 Of Rev. Walter Pavy,j Methodist Minister Who Died At Town Creek Some Months Ago A brother and sister residing in England are still the only known relatives of Rev. Walter Pavy, who was serving the Town Creek charge of the Methodist church when he died suddenly about five months ago. The personal effects of the deceased minister were disposed of last week at a vendee's sale by Attorney C. Ed Taylor, who is administrator of the estate. As soon as practical, the proceeds from the sale of the personal property and insurance left by the minister, will be sent to the surviving brother and sister. The insurance item amounted to six thousand dollars. Rev. Mr. Pavy was an officer in the first world war. Born in England, he served as a Chaplain in a Canadian regiment.

One such tombstone marks the last resting place of seven such sailors. However, the body of only one of the seven who are memorialized by the stone are sleeping beneath it. The bodies of the other six were never recovered. The boats, without any power save their sails, were often at the mercy or the elements. As even the landsmen know, the more severe storms are always preceeded by an hour or two of calm weather. During such periods the sailboats were devoid of power. The old time sailors had to be a good judge of the weather. If he was out and read the signs of an approaching storm wrongly and found himself becalmed before the storm, there was nothing for (CoLtlnu?d on page 4) , ' VTE ] News paper Ii Southport, N.

O. Bennett, chairman of I the County AAA Committee and < the County USDA War Board. 1 Urging all -Americans to give j their fullest support to the nation- ! al food production program, Jones ' declared that "our greatest hope for a full production of food, for its proper distribution, and conservation and best use lies in getting all the American people on the team." Turning to the 1944 production program, Jones said, "we are announcing step by step a program for the greatest production in our history for 1944. It takes hard work to produce food. There is no other way. It cannot be produced by directives. We already have the local organizations throughout the country at state, county and community levels, I with the committeemen selected by the farmers themselves. I believe in the work of the county and Community committees. With these hands I wrote the language into the various farm bills that provide for county and community committeemen selected by the farmers themselves, not only as the best method of administering ' a program, but in order that we I may have the benefit o their ex- 1 perience and knowledge ?n shaping the program. They know how J to administer this program, and 1 we can depend on them in this emergency. The State and county 1 war boards have been doing un- ' usually fine work. These boards j will be continued." Pointing to the increasing need ' for food for-wartime uses, Chair- ' man Bennett said all-out produc- ' tion will be necessary next year to ' reach 1944 goals. 1 "As yet, we do not know what these goals wil lbe, but it is like- ' ly they will be as large, or larger, ; than they were for 1943. Reaching levels of production we have reached in the past is due, in a large degree, to excellent work of the county's 51 community comit teemen and agencies making up j the County USDA War Board. These men will be called upon 1 again next year to conduct a cam paign for food production,, and we owe them our full supprot," he declared. Full details of the 1944 produc tion program will be announced as quickly as they are received at i the County AAA Office, he said. Rufus Retires From Route One I. Veteran Rural Mail Carrier j Served Route One At Supply For 35-Years And Six Months, Now On His Farm After thirty-five years and six months of faithful service to the patrons of Route 1 at Supply. Carrier Rufus D. Holden retired on the first of September. He is now living on his little farm near Supply. Mr.' Holden started out in his service to the patrons of the Sup- , ply route in the horse and buggy days. He was appointed to the job on March 1st, 1907 and there were few automobiles in those days. The few that had been made at that time were vehicles of pleasure for the idle rich. It was not until several years after the Holden appointment that cars began to come into general use for carrying the mails and other purposes. Even for the horse and buggy travel, the roads were none too good. The route was formed about two years preceeding the appointment of Mr. Holden. The late I Elisha E. Sellers of Supply, later I of Southport, was the first car-1 rier. A combination of difficulties,! mostly impossible roads, caused1 him to resign after eight months. He was succeeded by J. J.
