WITH THOSE WHO
HINDER WAR EFFORT
Language Is Toned Down
But The Idea Is Still
There
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hewett, of
Shallotte, have received an interesting
letter from their son,
Cpl. James Edwin Hewett, who
has been two years overseas, in
the Tunnisian campaign, Sicily
and is now in Italy. He is only 20
years old. Under date of June 15,
he wrote his parents:
"Dearest Family:
Will write to let you hear from
me again, I am still fine and in
the best of health. Received a
letter from you today.
Well, I was in Rome and saw
everything and, believe me, there
are some wonderful things to see
there. It is the most bcautfiul
city of any we have seen since we
left the States.
I guess most of the people back
at home think the war is about
over. Maybe they will some day
wake up. I would like to get my
hands on one of those strikers, we
would like to see them in the Infantry
in front of us. Every time
I start writing a letter and most
all of the time, I think of those
lucky's who don't appreciate the
soft spots and good paying jobs
they are* in. Wait until us guys
get back and find some of them.
If all of the people back home
would think more of the war and
less of politics, more of us would
live and we would be home sooner.
Please excuse language and,
write me often. With love.
Your son,
"EDWIN."
One Of Greatest
Hours In History
Shallotte Boy Acclaims His
Being In On Invasion and
Proclaims It Greatest Hour
Of History
A special dispatch to this paper
from the Press Relations office of
a Ninth Air Force Troop Carrier
Base, in the European Theatre of
operations, had the following concerning
a well known young Brunswick
county boy: "One of the
greatest hours in history, and I
was in on it." That is what Staff
Sergeant Harold M. Holmes of
Shallotte, North Carolina said
when he returned to his base after
participating in the initial mission
which dropped paratroops in
jthe invasion of France. Sgt. Holmes
is a crew chief on a C-47 aircraft
which flew through anti-aircraft
fire over the Normandy peninsula
with paratroopers, precedJing
the initial amphibious landing
by several hours.
"There were thousands of planes
all over the sky and the Channel
was thick with ships of all
types. I have never seen anything
to equal what I saw that night.
The big show, and me with a
ringside seat," he said.
But flying through anti-aircraft
fire with a load of paratroops is
not unusual for units in the IX
Troop Carrier Command. Troop
Carrier units have been active
since the early phases of the war
in glider and paratroop operations,
in aerial supply of frontline

Good Catches
Flooded Factory
Boats Held In Port Friday
And Saturday Because Of
Congestion Of Products
At Menhaden Plant
Good catches of menhaden the
past two weeks and what is said
to be a shortage of transportation
J facilities for scrap from the fac'tory
to fertilizer factories at
Navassa, resulted in a bottleneck
at the plant of the Brunswick
J Navigation company, last week.
jThe boats were unable to go out
land fish Friday and Saturday,
'owing to the accumulation of
|products at the factory.
{ Acid scrap and oils are moved
from the factory in barges
j through the inland waterway while
plain scrap has to be transported
by truck.
The good production by the
boats is continuing this week.
From unofficial sources it is understood
that the boats and factory
have been having the best
season in many years.

is not thought that the Goerch
family will likely become residents
of the town for several
years yet. The Raleigh
man is still in his prime, as
active as a boy in his teens.
It is more likely that the
work in connection with his

Raleigh a good many more
years. However, both he and
the family may live here a
part of each year until they
are ready to come here permanently.
It goes without saying that
Southport people will be more
than pleased to have a citizen

he founded as a North Carolina

the national magazine class.
It has done a wonderful service

Not a dissenting voice was
sard Monday to the reappointlent
of County Agent J. E. Dod>n
to serve another year. Preious
to the noon hour, when the
latter of the county agent was
) come up, quite a number of reresentative
farmers of Brunsick
saw members of the board of
mimissioners and expressed their
itisfaction with Mr. Dodson and
jnfidence that he was administerig
to his office in the best posble
way.
During the formal session C. M.
rickhouse, of the Extension Serice
in Raleigh, appeared before
le board and discussed the matir
of county agents and how the
idition of duties in connection
ith the War Board made it imassible
for them to carry on all
f the regular duties of the office,
ie also said that the War Board
uties were such as to often insire
undeserved criticism of a
junty agent, especially when he
ied to be fair and refused to
low favors to some fathers who
ere reluctant to have their sons
ite the armed service. In all, Mr.
rickhouse appeared to consider
ounty Agent Dodson a remark
bly good official, one of the best
i the field. The board unamously
bted that he continue in his
ork.
During the meeting it was orsred
by the board that the coun1
home keeper be notified that
le current budget called foV a
laximum expenditure of $5,500
er year for the operation of the
ome. He was ordered to stay
ithin that sum.
The board also ordered that

raw a warrant for the arrest of
le manager of the Chatterbox, a

t be placed in the hands of the

that the storm had apparently ,f'

Tuesday at noor. the first after- ;j

Except for light showers, this was tithe
first rain in the Southport
area since April. It is understood Hi
that something like an inch and a jj|!
