Rovin' Reporter (Continued from sage one) transportation troubles of about 50 years ago. If this clay proves to' be of the type that many peo ple believe, it is probable that ways will be found to make use cf it. Judge John J. Burney found himself engaged in a real battle with a big bass on a fishing ex pedition out from here Wednes day afternoon. The fish was the same one that always gets away, and things went true to form this time. With such authorities as Judge R. Hunt Parker, Solici tor Clifton Moore anil W. B. Ke ziah to back him up. Judge Burney's big bass is credited with having weighed anywhere be tween six and "ten pounds. The escape was made easy for the fish by the fact that the Judge was fishing between two logs that were only about four feet apart. The battle lasted about a minute and the fish broke wa ter before breaking lose. The Judge safely landed six other nice fish. Judge Parker also caught a nice string of goggle eyes. i Judge Parker, who presided at last week's term of court, went fishing every afternoon after ad journment. One of his big regrets is that with this term of court lie finished his tour of this judi cal district and will have to ro tate among other districts for the next five years. He stated he was net going to wait until his duties brought him here ! again. He will return to go fish ing the fist chance he gets. ' Squire Coy Formyduval of Freeland tells us that his son-in-. law, Danny Sibbitt, has the best tobacco in Brunswick county. ; Now how many growers will ! dispute that? They all have such fine crops that it is hard to tell who has the best . . . We sup pose th-at some day we will have to go fishing with Bill Reynolds, of Shallotte, just to find out if he is as good at fishing as he claims to be . . . One nice thing about the recent primary election is that a lot of the boys who lost out are showing they are good loosers. They seem ' to have the slant that somebody or other had to lose anyway . . . The sale of poppies has become such an annual event that quite a lot of Shallotte and Supply folks asked us Saturday how was it that none were placed on sale at those places . . . Among the folks who have reported that good rains fell in their sections Sunday were J. J. Ramsauer, of the Ple-asant Oaks Plantation; A. H. Ganey, of Leland: Judge John B. Ward, of Ash, and several peo ple from Shallotte and Supply. That means the whole county had good rains. This past week saw us getting more than our share of fresh water fishing. Or, to be exact, making an assist at it. Sunday, (but don't tell our friends the preachers about it), saw us out all day with Alex Fox. Since we have not mad# our peace with the game warden yet, we are I lather afraid to tell how many I we caught. j Then Monday morning-, we got j orders from Judge R. Hunt Park ? er to stand by with our fishing tackle as soon as court recessed for the day. Solicitor Clifton Moore, Attorneys Jimmie Pre vate and Rudolph Mintz and Clerk of Court Sam T. Bennett, were added to the party. They made a fair catch and converted the product into a fish-fry supper at Mack's Cafe that night. Tuesday it was the same thing over. Judge Parker was the num ber one man in the party. Others were Solicitor Moore, Probation Officer Woods, Clerk of Court Elwin Faulkner, of Henderson, and Clerk of Court Sam T. Ben nett, of Southport. A still bet ter catch this time, Judge Park er leading with II fine fish. There was another fish fry that night. Wednesday we were again sup posed to be standing by with the tackle. This time Judge John J. Burney had heard about the pre vious two days doings and he showed up to form a party con sisting of himself. Judge Parker, Solicitor Moore and us. This time Judge Burney led the field in making catches and Judge Park er trailed him. Solicitor Moore finished third. He also got his lower extremeties wet when he accidentally stepped into the wa ter. There was another fish fry; that night. Thursday the wind was blow- 1 ing and fishing was out for the dav. The time we were not working we spent riding around | with Judge Parker, Solicitor j Moore and Clerks of Court Joe Ellis, of Warrenton; Elwin Falk er, of Henderson, and Sam Ben nett, of Southport. It was mentioned to us on ? this trip that Clerk of Court Ellis had lost kis hat while on a sea-going fishing trip the previous day. He tc-ld us he would pay a reward of 50-cents for the return of the headpiece. We suppose that is all it was worth. Fresh water fishermen, since the season opened on May 19th, are beginning to come in with re ports of fine catches. The fish are numerous, are large and bite well at offerings of their favorite bait. Lawrence Stanley, of Shal lotta, reported >ast week that he t got his limit Monday of about all kincb. WarrnoUfhs were especial ly plentiful a.id iarge. He was I using minnows for bait and found them still very much In season. At about this time of year many fishermen consider minnows as secondary to works, shrimp etc. Stanley said they were still tops for bait. CLERKS OF COURT ( Continued Frc m Page One) the Worth boat. The Worth cruiser, as a re- j suit of its engine trouble and the rough weather, had put back in and with its party had gone up Dutchman's Creek, some two miles below town. When Captain Bowmer got in | without having seen the strag glers he was still more worried and his Worry increased when a quick survey revealed the Worth boat nowhere in the harbor. He called up the Coast Guard and boats were immediately sent to sea to search for the missing craft. The plane came dawn from Elizabeth City on a tail wind and reported tl\e missing boat in the yacht basin, to which point it had quietly returned while the hubadub was going on. GRAND JURY IS STILL PUSHING BRICKIE NOTICE (Continued from page 1) able distance on both sides of this bridge.

R. GALLOWAY General Merchandise SUPPLY, N. C. You'd have to pay out *84 a month for 30 years to assure a monthly income as big as the Army gives me FREE on retirement" Most men don't think of retiring until they're 65 years old. But many thousands of men in the new peacetime Regular Army are going to be able to retire with a life income before they're 40! Specifically, they can retire at any time after 20 years of service. Their re tirement income ranges from half pay after 20 years' service on up to three quarters pay after 30 years. (Retirement pay for a Master or First Sergeant runs as high as $155.25 a month.) An annuity which would pay the same retirement income as the Army pays would cost more than $84 a month for 30 rears ? a total of more than $30,240 ! Of course, there are other financial jenefits for those who enlist in the Army, ,oo. The Army's educational program alone is worth a lot, for it offers valuable training in any of 200 skills and trades . . . equips men for good civilian jobs in later life. Army men receive? without cost? gobd food, clothing and quarters, as well as medical and dental care. Dependents of men who enlist before July 1, 1946, re ceive family allowances from the Army. And the soldier himself receives the best pay in Army history. There are many more reasons why so many thousands of men are enlisting in the Army every day. Every American should know why.
