Large Trawlers Will Work Here Four New-Type Fishing Shrimping Craft From The Lewis J. Hardes Fleet Arrive Here From Morgan City, La. The Lewis J. Hardee fleet of four large shrimp trawlers ar rived here Saturday night from Morgan City, La. The boats are the Southport. South Sea. North Star and North Sea. They are identical in size and equipment, each being 65 :'eet in length. Each is powered by a 150 h. p. diesel engine, with fuel tanks to hold 1350 gallons. Outside, if it were not for the names painted on the bows and sterns, they could not be told apart. They were built in Louisiana this past summer and launched Fishing Licenses NOW ON SALE 1946 State and County Fishing Licenses are now on sale at the following places in Brunswick Coun ty W. E.

Stanaland, Chief Boat ( swain Mate in the Coast Guard, I has returned to his home in Wil mington, following a second tour ! of duty overseas. He lives at 2202 Gibson Avenue in Wilming ton, but was born and raised in ! Brunswick county. He has been i in the service since 1928 and the present homecoming was not so cheerful. He found Mrs. Stana land in the hospital, where she had to undergo a serious opera tion the day after he arrived. and commissioned in August. Mr. Hardee disposed of his old fleet and had the new boats built ac cording to his special plans for use in both fishing and shrimp ing. As shrimping boats they may be described as being the very latest word in that kind of craft. Instead of going out, fishing for the day and returning to port each night the Southport, South Sea, North Star and North Sea are designed to go out and stay until they have a load to bring in, even if it takes a week to load up. Ample storage space for fish and shrimp and also for ice permits them to keep on the job until they get what they go after. The weather seldom affects their operations. Mr. Hardee, a former resident of Southport, going to Louisiana several years ago after the State of Louisiana and the Federal Government cooperated with the shrimping industry in that state by surveying offshore grounds. He has done exceptionally well out there but has always beileved that Southport had as good fish ing as that off Louisiana, if some j cooperation could only be secured in the matter of developing. Fishermen Ask For Dredging Effort Being Made To In j terest Congressman J. Bayard Clark In Having Lockwoods Folly Deepen I ed Lockwoods Folly fishermen are making an effort to interest Con gressman J. Bayard Clark in get ting the government to dredge out and open up Lockwoods Folly river from the inland waterway to Supply. Petitions to the con gtessman are now being circulat ed. It is pointed out that the river has become badly shoaled during i the past few years and boats often have difficulty in making passage. From Supply pulpwood is mov ed down the river in barges and thence on to the mills. These heavily loaded barges and the tugs that draw them are subject to much delay in waiting for the high tides. Even when the tides are high they often have trouble. Yachts often use the river as permanent winter mooring and in case of bad weather a large num- J ber of them may seek temporary refuge in its sheltered waters. In addition to these pleasure craft a large number of shrimp boats and other small commercial craft make for the shelter of Lock woods Folly Inlet and river when they are warned of storms. The plea for work on the river to permit its use for commercial purposes and a storm haven is a justifiable one, according to the fishermen. Willetts Set For Building New Automobile Sales And Service Building Will Be Erected By C. P- Willetts In Bolivia } C. P. Willetts, Ford dealer at Bolivia, has his plans all ready : for the construction of a modern I and up-to-date garage and auto I mobile display room. i The building will be built of j cinder blocks and will have an eighty-foot frontage and length ( of 100 feet. A driveway will pass | right through the center of the j 100 foot length, permitting easy , entrance and exit from the gar age part of the structure. I Talking over his plans this : week, Mr. Willetts was not sure j just when he will get started with the work, but he hopes to | have it finished some time in the ' summer.

Real Estate Don't Cheer Too Soon About The End of Tire Rationing No rationing certificates are needed to secure new tires. However, the public is warned that tires are still scarce and the demand cannot be met for several months. Tire conserva tion is still necessary ? those little precautions that mean more miles ? safer miles ? and less expense. Don't Ask For More Tires Than You Need In order that the supply shall benefit as many as possible, all tire dealers are charged with the responsibility of giving out tires to those who are most urgently in need of them. We will not play favorites and to make our task lighter we trust that you will be reasonable in your tire demands. AND IN ORDER THAT MORE PEOPLE MAY DRIVE Turn In Your Old Tire It may be repaired or recapped and furnish satisfactory mileage at low cost to some other motorist. Only in this way can we maintain transportation. There has been a severe short age of good tire casings and by turning in your old tire you will help materially in relieving a very bad situation. WE ARE OFFERING OUR SERVICES, AS WE HAVE DURING THE EMERGEN CY, SO YOU MAY CONTINUE TO DRIVE SAFELY. Black's Service Station TIRES RIMS - WHEELS RECAPPING PHONE 110-J CROWELL BLACK WHITEVILLE
