Needs Of Peoples
War-Torn World
Rev. Frank Howard Makes
Appeal For Support In
Drive For Capned Foods
To Aid Peoples Of Europe,
Asia
j BY REV. FRANK J. HOWARD
The War Relief service of the
National Catholic Welfare conference
is conducting a drive for
canned foods to be distributed
among the needy peoples of
Europe and Asia. In connection
j with the need for this food, ex!
tracts from the letter of Rev. Dr.
! Edward W. Swanstrom, assistant
j director of the National Catholic
J Welfare conference, give a good
| description of the stricken peo|
pies of the war torn world.
"Before I left the United Sta'
tes. I saw pictures of starving
i people. Now, God knows, I have
j seen the reality?and it hurts. It
j is much more gruesome and
I horrifying than any picture. It
| is an awful feeling to see people
; starve before your eyes, and to
I have nothing in your hands to
i give them.'
"Pour those goods over here
; as fast as you can, is all I can
I say. You are saving lives. Until
S you see thousands of refugees
milling aimlessly up and down the
roads choked with the homeless.
cniiaren nuuuies in oroKen angles
of walls or -against mothers who
offer no more than a body's
i warmth, bodies of men bent
against wind and sleet and rain,
you cannot have the faintest conception
of what being homeless
, and hungry means. These scenes
repeated over and over with
' deadly repetition, haunt me. The
fight for survival in a fox hole
I did not stop?foxholes arc still
offering shelter for thousands.
"It is vital that the general
public in the U. S. know something
regarding the necessity foi
relief of millions of war paupers
in Europe. The widespread dc:
struction left by the war is
simply unbelievable. Few have
j adequate shelter or fuel. The food
ration is dangerously low and
then there is no food to fill the
meagre allowance of calories pei

To How To Obtain Boats i
For Fishing
Brunswick county has a large |
, number of ex-service men who
are experienced in fishing and
i who would like to engage in this
; industry, if they could only secL
urc boats. Along with the experienced
men there arc a number
1 cf in-cxpericnccd service men
who would also like to engage in j
' | fishing. To these the securing of,
I boats also present a problem.
The government still has many I
, thousands of small boats that
were used by the Coast Guard:
; and Navy, for the various details 1
j of shore patrol. Almost without)
!j exception these boats are ideal |
for shrinip trawling, with only
! slight alterations. However, they 1
i do not seem to be available for
1 purchase by the ex-service men.
' In the office of this paper this

he had been trying to get a boat,
that he had thought he could get j

Rights. But, if he could do this I
he could not find out where or

Editor Soon
To Be Home
*
Word has been received here
that Lt. James M. Harper, Jr.,!
editor of the State Port Pilot1
now on leave of absence, has arrived
on the West Coast and will j
be home as soon as transportation
permits. He expects his |
discharge soon and will resume |
his duties as editor on his arrival j
here.
Lt. Harper entered the Navy in i
August, 1943, as a Lieutenant,
junior grade, and received his in-,
doctrination at Princeton Univer-j
sity. Training as gunnery officer
was received at Gulfport, Miss.,
and New Orleans, La. He shipped
out as gunnery officer aboard
the SS Horace H. Harvey in
March of 1944 and served aboard
that tanker with his gun crew
until December of that year. Dur-j
ing his service on the Harvey he
made trips to Europe, calling at
Scapa Flow and Gibralter.
In December of 1944 he was
assigned to the SS Francis N|
Blanchct, a cargo ship, as gunnery
officer and was promoted at
that time to Lieutenant, senior
grade. Aboard the Blanchet he
made one trip to India, coming
hack tor the States by way of east
and south Africo. In May ho
sailed for Italy, where he called
at Naples, Civitavecchia and Leghorn.
While in Italy he spent
five days with his brother, Lt. J
Robert Harper, who at that time
was stationed with mountain in-,
fantry in northern Italy. From |
Italy the Blanchet went via j
Panama to the Philippines, and
from there to Australia. Returning
to the Philippines, Lt, Harper
and the gun crew were detached
and given transportation back to
San Francisco. On all of her
trips since Lt. Haiper was assigned
to her, the Blanchet carried
supplies for the armed forces.
On the trip to Australia she carried
600 Australian troops to
Brisbane.

Hooks Declares New Bank
Will Serve Banking
Needs Of Growing Community
OPENING WITH
$100,000 CAPITAL
Substantial Business Men
Of Community Comprise
Officers And Board Of
'Directors
The First National Bank of
Whitevilie will open its doors for
business Wednesday, January 2.
Heavy deposits are expected on
the opening day.
With the new bank building,
located on the corner of Main
and Madison streets, completed
and the bank personnel oiganized
for business, the doors of Whiteville's
newest business institution
will open at 9 a. m. .?n the opening
day for what is aeing freely
predicted will be a successful
business undertaking.
Though officials are reluctant
to prophesy the volume of business
on the opening day, there
have been open suggestions that
the first day's deposits should approach
the million-dollar mark. "We
will be ready for business
on the opening date," Bill Hooks;
bank president, declared, "and wc
are anticipating serving the banking
patrons of Columbus and adjoining
counties with as moderf.
*x "*Knnbino- oaruino tin

can be found anywhere."
Mr. Hooka said that nothing
had been left undone to bring to
Whiteville and Columbus county
a bank in which will be found all
modern banking facilities.
Beginning with a 5100,000 capital
structuie, the First National
Bank has officers and directors
comprising some of the leading
business men in Whiteville, all but
thtee of whom are natives of
Columbus county. They include:
Bill Hooks, president; S. L. Braxton,
chairman of the board of
directors; Bion Sears, cashier; K.
L. Sholar, vice president; S. L.
Fuller, vice president; Lloyd Collier,
Crowell Black, Herman Leder,
Ferbc Sledge, Luther Mearcs,
J. R. Marks, directors.
Mr. Sears, recently released
from active duty with the U. SNavy
in which he attained thf
rank of full lieutenant, has takeu
over the duties as cashier with
nine years banking experience to
his credit. Associated with him
is a staff of trained personnel
whose experience well qualifies
them for their respective assignments.
Mr. Scars and a part of his
staff have been busy for several
weeks getting all details into
readiness for the opening date.
The opening of the bank for
business will mark the consummation
of efforts begun here early
last summer to bring-a new bank
to Whiteville. Believing that a
new banking institution would
fit well into the business structure
of a growing community, the
business men who later became
the officers and board of directors
of the new bank determined to
organize and seek a charter for
a national nana lor wnuevtiic.
The charter was granted during
the middle of July, and immediately
thereafter plans were begun for
the opening of the bunk at the ,
earliest date possible.
A seven-year lease was secured
for the use of the R. B. McRoy
building where the R. B. McRoy
Company had its retail
grocery department. Selection of
til is location was regarded as fortunate,
since its central location
makes it convenient for all downtown
customers. The interior and
exterior of the building have
been fitted up to serve the needs
of a modern bunking institution.
The new bank is a member of
the Federal Reserve system and
the Federal Deposit Insurance
1 Corporation.
