Much Activity At Holden's Beach Many Business Places And Dwellings Under Con struction In This Area Of Brunswick County With the center road of the three leading to Holden Beach under construction and with as surance of the paving being com pleted during the summer, un usual interest is now centered in that area. A visit there this week found Blake Thompson, prominent High Point realtor, discussing plans for the building of three new duplex houses, each to have two apartments. Mr. Thompson, who already has two cottages at Hol den's Beach, has other construc tion and development ideas in mind. With him was Pete Moffitt of the Moffitt Furniture Co., Inc; E. B. McBee, High Point City Purchasing Agent; Joe Dobson and son. Dicky; J. B. McCall and O. D. Sheppard, all of High Point. Mr. Dobson owns a cot tage at the beach. J. W.

Phone3133 Auction Sale At Shallotte Point Number Of Choice Lots Will Be Offered For Sale At Public Auction On May 15 | Beautiful Shallotte Village Point with its many year round attractions to the public will have what will probably be the big gest auction sale of the year on May 15th. 100 choice building lots, ail of them either facing on the hard surface or directly on the Shal lotte river, will be sold at auc tion. This property is what is known as the Tripp land and most of it is waterfront, all on a high, dry bluff. One choice lot | and many valuable prizes will be given away during the hours of the sale. The property is now owned by W. H. Garner of Chatham coun-1 ty, father of John W. Garner, owner of the Anchor Hotel at the point. The elder Mr. Garner, like his son, is sold on the rapid WELFARE DEPT. Last week we told how a per* son makes application to this of fice for an OAA or ADC grant and how that application is hand led. Our responsibility is by no means over as soon as our client begins to receive the monthly check. Let us look for a bit at the case of Mrs. Margaret Warren who is receiving an Aid to De pendent Children grant.' Mrs. Warren has been receiving $27 a month for eight months. Before that she received $32 per month because there was an older child in the family who is now away from home. At least every six months (every 12 months in the case of OAA grant^ we make home visits to see how our clients are getting along. These visits are for the purpose of being sure that they are still eligible to receive their grants and to see whether or not there should be any change in the amounts. When we made a regular visit to the home of Mrs. Warren we Found that one of the four child ren still at home was in very poor health. Mrs. Warren said that the school nurse had sent home a note two months before stating that George should have ly growing popularity of Shal lotte Point as a resort communi ty. Anxious to speed up this growth, he is putting the Tripp property up for sale as building lots. One sure result of this sale is that many fine new homes will spring up at the point during the next twelve months. The place has been growing very rapidly since its hard sur face road was built. Although it has a nice little hotel, many tourist cabins and other facilities, Shallotte Point has never been able to take care of its summer and fall visitors. In the winter the facilities are also often bad :a thorougn examination ui ue termine the cause of his ill health. Mrs. Warren did not feel that she had the money to send the child to a doctor for such an | examination. We helped her to make such plans for the needed medical attention. The doctor re i ported to us that the _ child was ion the border of T. B. He recom I mended a very strict diet and some high vitamin pills. All this 'would cost considerably more than Mrs. Warren could afford at that time. We worked out a bud get similar to the one which was | worked out at the time Mrs. War ren's application was first! taken. It was found that this grant should be raised to $37 because of the heavy medical bills and special diet. The application for an increase ! was presented to the Welfare Board just as though it were a new case. They discussed it and granted the increase necessary to care for the extra needs. I You, will see here that your Welfare Office tries not only to prove what a person has and needs, but we are also doing all j in our power to help our clients improve their condition in every J way possible. ly taxed. Some big developments are expected to take place there when this fine property is offer ed to buyers next month. True hail occurs only in warm j weather. Cacadam surfaced roads are named after MacAdam, an 18tl? Century Scottish engineer. Papyrus, developed in Egypt was the world's first cheap and abundant writing paper. !

CATHOLIC INFORMATION Six Times Three And A Rosary The foursome had just com pleted its 18-hole round on Jim Doak's three-hole, back-yard golf course, when the thing happened. Lolling in the big porch rock ers they were discussing the game when Art Fisher, in draw ing forth his handkerchief, in advertently flung to the floor a circle of brown beads. Immediate ly there followed a tense silence, which Art broke with the cas ual words: "What's the matter? It's only my Rosary." "But," he continued, picking up the beads, "I can guess what you are thinking, so let me briefly explain that you may think that, way no longer. "Of course you recognize the crucifix here at the end?the em blem of Christianity. In the cir cle you will note five series of j eleven beads each, the first in I each, case being slightly separat- I ed from the ten that follow. On | each of these separated beads we | recite the 'Our Father' or Lord's i Prayer. On each of the ten that: follow we say the 'Hail Mary' jr j Ave Maria. "The complete Rosary consists of three times as many beads as you see here, but b(y going through this thrice, I complete the whole devotion, just as we all completed a full round of golf just now by playing these three holes six times over. "Tiresome? Not a bit of it, if j we say our Rosary correctly; for we do more than recite the I , beautiful prayers I have , men tioned; we also meditate on the great mysteries which have to do ! with our Divine Savior's birth, life, death, apd resurrection, and also the part which His Blessed Mother played therein. Fifteen sublime mysteries, upon which the child or ignorant adult can meditate according to his ca pacity. Fifteen stupendous mys teries upon which hte wisest theologian can dwell time with out number and never exhaust his source of godly inspirations. "An ever-flowing fountain of thoughts that raise us high. An ever-acceptable tribute to Christ, our God and King. A frequently answered pleading to the mother 'of us all, for prayers and inter cession to Him who loves her most. That is the Rosary. "Yes, Jimmie, old scout, I know what you're thinking: 'Vain repetition as the heathen do.' Surely, we've had it here this evening, but not in the Ros ary. Six times over we have played these three holes of golf; and look at the score-card. On each repetition you have been worse, Jimmie?worse in score, worse in your heathenish con demnation of a little ball. Vain repetition! I'll leav< it to the crowd!"

Potato Growers Plan Referendum Marketing Agreement Will Be Subject Of Vote By Irish Potato Producers On April 27 Elroy King, chairman of the Brunswick Agricultural Conserva tion Association, stated that a referendum is to be held in Brunswick county on April 27 at which time Irish potato growers will cast their ballots at the coun ty ACA office' on a proposed marketing agreement and order. He also urged them to attend the meeting scheduled to discuss the proposed marketing agree ment at Tabor City, Thursday, 15th at 8 o'clock in the school auditorium. AMUZU THEATRE SOUTHPORT, N. C.

J Chairman King said that an j producers with potato acreage al lotments have been mailed copies | of the proposed marketing agree ' ment and order, and additional copies may be obtained by pro ducers who for some reason or another have failed to receive them. Every grower in Bruns jwick county, who is engaged in [the production of potatoes for market is eligible to vote. Chairman King pointed out that referendum is the most dem ocratic way of determining the wishes of eligible voters on im portant issues of questions, and regardless of the opinion Bruns wick county growers form on the (potato program they should vote either "yes" or "no". "It's up to the growers," King said, "whe Ither they really want a potato marketing agreement and order, and the referendum i3 the best way they can voice their wishes i in the matter." The U. S. Department of Agri culture, after a series of public meetings in North Carolina and Virginia, decided to recommend that a referendum be held. The date for the referendum in Vir ginia is the same as in North Carolina. "One of the chief bene fits of a marketing agreement and order," Chairman King said, "is that it enables producers to uphold the quality of their po tato shipments. Under this kind of a potato program, provision may be made for regulating the grade, size, and quality of potato shipments. The grade and size re gulations would be initiated by a committee of North Carolina and Virginia potato producers and handlers." "This kind of potato market ing," Chairman King said, "en ables the growers to better help themselves, especially in periods of surplus production, oy ciu phasizing the marketing of qual ity potatoes. It insures protection of markets for quality potatoes and helps promote trade and con sumer acceptance of equality po tatoes. Should the potato com mittee feel it necessary, it would recommend that culls and low grade potatoes be held off fresh markets. However, under the ' proposed program, no regulation of the marketing of U. S. No. 1 grade or better grade potatoes would be allowed. VARIED DOCKET (Continued From Page One) costs.
