Leland Youth Aboard Carrier Dexter C. Lewis Is Member Of Crew Of USS Philip pine Sea; Is Member Of Air Department Dexter C. Lewis, seaman ap prentice, USN, of Leland, is serv ing aboard the aircraft carrier USS Philippine Sea, operating with the U. S. Naval Mediter ranean Force under Vice Admiral Forrest P. Sherman. I The Philippine Sea is the first American vessel to bear this name, which Is in keeping wjth the Navy's policy of naming air craft carriers after important battles. It was commissioned in Quincy, Mass., and although com paratively new, the Philippine Sea's travels have already car ried her to the South Pole with Admiral Byrd's expedition and to' the Carribean on three cruises. After participating in fleet maneuvers in mid-February she departed for the Mediterranean. The present cruise is the initial venture of the 27,000-ton carrier into European waters. Lewis entered the Naval ser-' vice October 10, 1945, and receiv ed recruit training at the Naval T raining Station, Camp Peary, Va. Before entering the Navy he (attended Leland high school. ' Lewis, as a member of the Air Department, helps in the servic ing, maintenance and repair of aircraft, and the primary duties of launching and landing opera tions. The Air Department's day begins in the wee hours of the morning to clear the deck for launching. Throughout the day when flight operations are conducted, and late at night when night op erations are in progress, they are Tomato Plants Get Good Start! i I Reports From New Jersey Reveal Satisfaction With | This Year's Crop Of | Brunswick County Plants ? Planting tomato seed to grow plants for New Jersey farmers on the River Road in Brunswick county for the past two years, I the E. Prichard Canning Com-1 pany of Bridgetown, N. J., is said to be immensely pleased with the j results. E. H. Sheppard of Shiloh, N. J., who grew the plants for his own farms and for farmers who produce tomatoes for the Pritchard company, said this, week that the canning company j thought his North Carolina grown plants were wonderful. i For the two years the growingj of plants here has only been an experiment to ascertain if they could be produced in the open, without danger of frost killing, as early as they were needed in iNew Jersey. That question, they| say, Is now fully answered. There [ has been no ffost damage fori > either of the two years. The | I plants this year were actually! | ready before it was considered , safe to put them out in the open (in the colder New Jersey clim ate. Mr. Sheppard says that the locally produced plants are ex tremely tough. He reported that when he began delivering two weeks ago, and while there was an acknowledged scarcity of good, plants, his own plants com manded a premium price. This was on the very same day when three car loads of Florida grown plants were rejected and thrown away, the canning houses con tending that owing to their grow ling in tlie much warmer Florida climate they were too tender to live in New Jersey. An attempt was made to grow tomato plants by another New Jersey house in Carteret county this spring. In a way the effort was successful In another way things were not so good. Five acres of the Carteret county plants were killed by frost. Others planted a little later came through all right. The promoters of the Brunswick county plant ing think they are well beyond still busy. Once a plane lands, it is immediately "spotted" on the broad flight deck or directed be low to the hangar deck. Also un der the cognizance of the de partment is the maintenance and operation of associated aircraft equipment. 251 officers and men comprise the department which is responsible for this important I task. the danger line, that they can grow the plants here without frost danger. TRANSFERRED to ALASKA First Lt. and Mrs. Bryon H. Goiey, of Fort Benning, Ga., and Shallotte, are leaving this week, driving through to Seattle, Wash ington, where they will sail for, Alaska. Lt. Goley, who is a son of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Goley, of Shallotte, has been assigned to two years of duty with the army in Alaska. Mrs. Goley, who will accompany him, will be en gaged in civil service work at the same place. Present Outlook i For Farmers Good Rains During Past Few' Days Help Small Grain; Tobacco Crop Off To Un usually Good Start Rains the past two weeks have brought on what County Agent J. E. Dodson described as a pret ty good growing season for small grain. Until two weeks ago the crop was suffering badly for rain. The present outlook is very good, according to the County agent. The corn crop came up rather spotted, according to a number of farmers. Worms have damag ed the stalk rather badly in some fields while others have escaped all sorts of trouble. The corn crop outlook is also regarded as being fairly good. Tobacco has had very little trouble, either while the plants were in the beds or since they have been transplanted, to the field. This crop is growing nice ly and the fields are well culti vated and free from weeds and grass. The outlook for this crop is said to be the best of recent years for farmers in Brunswick. Mr. Dodson, who looks upon the garden as a most important detail of every farm, says that many Brunswick farmers have gardens that are a source of pride and profit. These gardens add a great deal to better living on the farms. Remains Of War Victims On Way Coxswain Carl G. Gross Of Delco And John S.

Fishing Is Good On Waccamaw Residents Of That Section Of Brunswick Say Their Luck Never Has Been Better Than Thus Far This Year Last year, until the rains set in and slowed things up, the Waccamaw river provided some of the best sport fishing that residents of that part of Bruns wick had ever known. This like wise applied to hundreds of visi tors from throughout the state. Folks really flocked to the Wac camaw, and they never went away empty handed, until the rains came. This year things are said to be the same, if not better. Mal colm King and L. A. King, Free land boys, said Monday that this year's fishing was as good, if not better, than what they had last j year. The stream is literally swarming with the beautiful red i breasts and other varieties of [fish. Malcolm King said that he ! caught eight very large ones in [less than an hour recently. Scores of rowboats for use in fishing are now all up and down the Waccamaw. Dozens more are brought in daily on trailers, trucks or the tops of cars.
