Coast Brunswick County Boatmen Cease Operations In Or-j der To Be Sure They Do i Not Fall Prey To Fisher ies Officials Many Brunswick county boats] that have been fishing in South | Carolina at Georgetown and j Rockville have laid off from work ' and returned home until after the first of July. "Jt is not due to the abscnce of shrimp," said one of the local boatmen last night, "it is just because wc arc liable to be ar rested and fined anywhere from $50.00 to $500.00. The way that things now arc the South Caro lina Fisheries people have a good business." They have a closed season which ends the first of July. At that time fishing licenses may be bought and boats operate with out molestation. At the present time while the closed season is on the boats may only operate outside of the three mile limit from shore, in what is known as known as United States waters and not subject to control by the State. The catch to this is that the fisheries officials use airplanes to sfiout around, and boatmen who firmly believe they are operating j well outside the three-mile limit have their names and numbers taken and find themselves charg ed with fishing inside the limit. I They may get off with anywhere j between $50.00 and $500.00 in fines. As there are no markers on the' South Carolina grounds or nearby the boatmen simply have no way of proving that they were not tresspassing. They pay up to' avoid the loss of their boats and1 (Continued on page 4). Kimball Jenrette In Charge Of Operations On Fath er'# Farm Near Long wood And Has Made Big Improvements PUREBRED CATTLE ANB HOGS RAISED Practically All Work Being Done By Machinery With Diversification Being Feature Of Farm Program The John Jenrette farm in Waccamaw township has always been just about the average for Brunswick county, but during re cent years, with Kimball Jenrette, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jenrette, actively in charge, the farm has risen to far above the average in production and net returns. Kimball is a graduate of the Southport high school, where he was handicapped in his studies by increasing deafness. Never theless, he went through with honors and having got through he was faced with the realization that .his deafness was too great a handicap for him to make his way through one of the regular agricultural colleges. But there was another school from which he was not disbarred ??the collcgc of practical ex perience and hard work, And there was the farm on which he was born. One day this past week The Pilot's representative visited the Jenrette farm. With the power of a modern farm tractor Kim ball had just brought a modern, large-type grain combine to the yard for the purpose of oiling it up tfofore completing the task of harvesting this year's crop of grain. The job of oiling the combine was turned over to a younger hired helper while he took an hour off to show us Continued on page four Longwood Citizen Passes At Home Julius B.

Development All Along Atlantic Coast In County Beginning at Caswell Beach And Extending To South Carolina Line, Marked Progress Being Made COASTAL POINTS ALL ARE GROWING Shortage Of Building Ma terials Appears To Be Only Factor That Is Holding Back Big Building Boom Things are now well filled up at all of the Brunswick county beaches, both those that are be ing developed and others that are in the raw and which still have roonl for a trailer. At Fort Caswell Beach all of the houses are said to be taken for both the summer and fall. This beach is now receiving con siderable advertising and Mana ger R. W. Powell says that everything is going fine with the sale of lots. As at other places development has been retarded by building restrictions, but Mr. Powell says that another year will see Caswell Beach blooming:. Long Beach, directly west of Caswell Beach, has suffered less from the building restrictions and inability to get building mater ials. Many nice homes have been built this year and these are all filled up as well as those that were built before the war. Even with more favorable build ing conditions there than else where, somewhere around a hun dred people who own lots and want to build have been unable to get material. Long Beach is on the books for big growth just as soon as folks find material with which to build homes. At Howell's Point everything - is also filled up. They are ex pecting a big season there, de spite the limited number of houses. For the first time in the history of the place they have a store and a small hotel. Holden's Beach, a long-time favorite for summer and fall vacationists, Is forging ahead this year with all homes In use b; owners or rented. Many new houses have been built there this year, many more are under con struction and still more arc being planned. The Shallotte Point section is getting a new road. It is like wise getting much in the way of new buildings and has need for still more. The Point is one of the Brunswick county coastal sections that is bound to develop. The Pilots representative has not seen or heard much of Gause | Beach lately. That is not to be taken to mean that things are not keeping up there. Just re cently Mrs. Guy Culpepper said th^t section was getting a great number of new homes and they expect real development there se cond to no other placc in Bruns wick. Seaside, Calabash and other points all along the coast are very much alive with people who can find no summer homes liv ing in trailers or whatever else they can find.
