Office Report j Shows Business! Cecil Edwards, Veterans Service Officer For Bruns wick County, Has Increas ing Number Of Calls The report of Cecil Edwards, Veterans Service Officer for Brunswick county, covering the mynths of February and March, shows a steadily increasing num ber of calls for his aid during that period. With the work start ing less than a year ago it nat urally followed that the office had to be brought to the atten- J tion of the ex-service men. Like wise the Service Officer had to | become acquainted with all phas es of the work. The work may now be said to be becoming well established. The knocked-down report of Mr. Ed- i wards for the two months is as follows: ?Received 1X2 letters, wrote 189; | reeeived II long distance calls ami telegrams; had 310 inter-j vtttos; made 17 field trips: edu-j cational, 40: employment, 9; ? readjustment allowance, 21; com-, GEF A 4 4/ Jeep O Use the all-purpose "Jeep" as a tractor to pull your farm implements; as a truck to tow ?,500 lbs. and haul 800 lbs.; ?as a runabout to take you to town or through the pasture.

In an interview this week Mr. Edwards stressed the fact that he will be glad to aid any vete ran in regard to insurance, dental treatment, hospitalization or em ployment. His office is in the Farm Administration building at [ Supply, with hours from 9 a. m.; through 5 p. m., from Mondays j through Fridays. Dependant mothers and fathers j of deceased veterans may find ? ways to obtain some advantages by conferring with the official. A; veteran who has had his compen-| sation discontinued and feels his condition does not warrant such1 action should confer with Mr. Ed-! wards about appealing the de-j cision. Likewise, those veterans, who have on-the-job training, or industrial farm training and have difficulty in establishing their dependency or martial status, may be able to secure aid by conferring with him. County Beaches Ready To Grow Early Inquiries Indicate Big Season For Holdens; Shallotte Point And Howells Point Also Set To Go Despite the fact that it is only the middle of April coastal sec tions of Brunswick county are now about as active as they usually are in early June. There is every indication that this year will pass, all previous years in beach property development and building new homes on the beach es of Brunswick county. With its new paved road hard ly likely to be completed and opened to the public until mid summer, Holden's Beach is now setting out to grow regardless of roads. The dirt road direct from Supply and the roads from Shal lotte to this beach are both be ing put in top condition by the State Highway Department. They will take care of all travel to and from this beach until the new paved road from J. E. Kirby's on Route 17 is completed. Dr. R. H. Holden, one of the principal owners of that part of the Holden's Beach property that has never been put on the market for the public, said this week that quite a number of the beach residents have already moved in for the summer. Others are com ing in each week-end to make preparations to move in or to rent their houses until they can ! come. From all over the state he 1 is getting requests for reserva | tlons for homes for one or two jweek periods during; the spring, summer or fall. Some of the cot tages are already rented by the week for the full period that they | will be available. Several owners of Holden Beach property are engaged in the construction of homes or are placing material for such construc tion. 'Hiere is indication of a big spurt in building in the im-i mediate future. Growing reports of activity came from Shallotte Village Point on Monday. John W. Garner, ofl the Anchor Hotel at that place, | said that some new homes have; been built and several others are: in the planning stage. Sportsmen | are beginning to come in and have been making some pretty good catches of whiting, croak ers, some spots and sheephead fishing sould be especially active j in a short time. Several nice, catches of drum have been madel in the past week. Shallotte Point, I directly on the inland waterway | at the mouth of the Shallotte river, is a year-round spot for Sport fishermen and hunters. In addition the surroundings possess a wealth of charm for all who go there. A. D. Whitley of Howell's Point, at the mouth of the Lock woods Folly river, said Monday that Chas. Ross of Landis has Club Members Have Gardens Three Grissettown Ladies Reported To Have Unus ually Fine Gardens; Home Agent Looking For Unusual Achievement Mrs. A. W. Bradsher, Mrs. Addle Grissett and Mrs. G. R. Gore to Grissettown, are report ed to have some exceptionally fine gardens this year. A report on these gardens having been re ceived this week, Miss Corrine Green, the home demonstration agent, was interviewed in an ef fort to find out what other club ladies were doing with their pro jects. Miss Greene said that there are so many interesting things being done by tha club women all over the county she couldn't say. She is just starting her rounds of the clubs this month and promised that just a little later she hoped to-be in a posi tion to really report some in teresting things that are being just completed a nice summer home there. Mr. McLaine, of Kannapolis, and others are pre paring to build. This is another favored spot for beauty and charm, with a lot of fine fishing thrown in. Folks who have been at Mr. Whitley's guest house re cently have made some nice catches of fish. He says that the fishing will get better every day from now on. done by the club women. "Just now," she said, "the chief,' interest of most of the club worn- j en is in their gardens, chickens and with plenty of attention be-1 ing paid to the homes. The Mill Creek, Bolivia, Grissettown and Town Creek clubs, and perhaps a great many more, are preparing to give some earnest attention to the church grounds in their com-j munities during the month of May." Miss Greene said that it was really wonderful to see the in terest that the club members are taking in their organizations. Al most all of them have been grow ing steadily in membership and interest eac:i month. The clubs are fostering a spirit of real in terest in communities and homes. Beaches To Get j Bus Connections Manager W. B. & S. Lines Says That Facilities Will Be Made Available To Holdens Beach, Shallotte Point Hubert Livingston, manager of tie W. B. & S. Bus Lines, Inc.,' aid last night that both Shal- ? )tte Village Point and Holden's1 ieach were in line to receive i ood bus service this summer and tiereafter. The beginning of the1 ervice is dependent on the com-1 letion cf the paving of the Hoi-1 en Beach road. The road to Shallotte Village oint is already paved, but since le same buses will serve both laces it may not be advisable to tart the contemplated service un 1 the buses can make both H61 en's Beach and the Point. The schedules have not yet een mapped out, but a likely jute is that a bus may go from ere to Supply, or from here to png Beach and thence to Sup ly. Connecting with a bus there ?om Wilmington it couW pro sed to Holden's Beach or to hallotte Point and back to Hoi en's Beach, then back to Sup ly. Going over this route morn' ig and evening, it would per lit passengers to spend a day t either Holden's Beach or the oint. Those who went on the fternoon buses could spend the ight at either place in the event le patronage does not warrant night bus to either place. The above is purely a suggest d schedule. Mr. Livingston said e simply wanted to give Long leach, Holden's Beach and Shal >tte Village Point the very best srvice that the traffic will stand, fetter bus service is also assured etween Southport and Whiteville s soon as the Grissettown-Sol iers Bay road is paved. Modern uses are too costly and . too isily damaged to send them ver dirt roads that frequently et in bad condition in a few ours. Former Citizen Takes The Pilot Ralph M. Edward* Is Now Residing In California But Retains Interest In Home County Moving from Waccamaw town ship to Colton, California, where he had two sons residing, Ralph M. Edwards, well known former resident of Brunswick resident, still retains a warm spot in his heart for his native county. A one time chairman of the board of county commissioners and all round good citizen as long as he lived here, Mr. Ed wards wrote this paper this week. In part he said: "I am enclosing my renewal to The Pilot. I am always anxious to get my old home county paper with the news it brings. Tnis news is sometimes glad and some times sad. It makes my heart ache in sympathy with relatives and friends when it brings me the news of the passing on of some dear old friend of mine. On the other hand, I can but rejoice when I read in its columns of the building of roads and of the many older good thin^J seem on their way t0 * Brunswick.
