The Evening services will consist of the Koasary, question box and sermon ^nd close with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. One feature <jf the mission will be the ques tion box. This is especially for lion-Catholics who wish to be in trmed on some point of Catholic ctrine or practice. A box is placed at the entrance of the [church where the questions are' . placed. These questions are an-! [ swered by the priests. The public is cordially invited to the mission ] and it is hoped that they will J make use of the question box. Camellias Are In Full Bloom Orton Gardens Present Beau tiful Spectacle For This i Season Of Year With1 Blossoms Undamaged By j Cold Camellia blooming in Bruns wick is now at its peak and will remain there for three or four weeks, if the temperature does not drop below 28 degrees.

Brown, Jr. as sales manager of Coleman Motor Company, local Ford deal er, was announced today by Pro prietor Tom Coleman. Brown, who has been in the automobi^ sales business in Whiteville for two and one-half years, assumed his new post on Thursday.

The Rovin' Reporter (Continued From Page One) the Colin Archer, a famous for mer Norweign rescue boat, put in at Holden Beach on its way to Florida. The owners of the sturdy craft, Mr. and Mrs. Char les A. Crqwnshield, were aboard. Stopping at Holden Beach, they liked the place so much that they iire still right there with their ideas of wandering forgotten for the time being. Seeing Mrs. Crownshield the other day we asked her how she liked Holden Beach. She promptly replied that she just loved the place and she did not see why northern yachts men should go to Florida for the winter when the delightful lower North Carolina coast is only half as far. As a rule it is not like us to REFRIGERATORS WASHING MACHINES ELECTRIC RANGES CARLOAD 5-V GALVANIZED ROOFING Just Arrived FIELD & GARDEN SEED GLEEM PAINT We handle a full line of the famous paint and varnish.

As a rule we are 1 always on time or ahead of it. About a month or so ago, how- J ever, we went from Shallotte toj Holden Beach with Halstead Hol-i den and his sister, Rose Marie., That time we missed the bus at Supply by a full ten minutes and J they had to bring us on home.' Last Saturday we went ar6und j by Holden Beach again with Rose 1 Marie and this time we missed1 the bus at Supply by just five minutes. We needed to stop at Supply for awhile to see County Agent A. S. Knowles and some other folks. So we told Rose Marie to go home and never mind our missing the bus, we'd get home anyway. One guess may be as good as another relative to the percentage of painted homes owned by Brunswick county white and col ored citizens. Our guess is that more than 90 per cent are paint ed. On some roads a traveler can go for several miles without see ing a single unpainted residence. One day this week we were traveling a road where the folks are not exceptionally prosperous. Just as a matter of curoeity we checked the unpainted homes and there was only six along a five mile stretch that presented a view of more than 100 homes. Brunswick's big" small grain1 crop is in top condition, as seen j at many points in the county.: Not only is it presenting a fine appearance, it is really good, ac cording to LeRoy Mintz, agricul ture teacher at the Shallotte school. The big acreage is pro mising a big production. This again brings up the angle of the county needing more feeder stock, j cows and hogs, to consume the I surplus feedstuff that is nearly always grown In the county. Last fall a lot of fine feedstuff went ungathered because there was not enough cows and hogs to con sume all that was produced. It hardly pays to personally ask a fellow if he has a good character, especially if he has or may get the idea that you want the information because you think he may be good jury material. This week Dan Harrelson was asked if he had a good character. He promptly avowed that it was excellent, the finest sort. As an afterthought, he asked: "See here, what do you want to know for?" "X though," replied his interview er, "you'd be a fine man for a federal ccurt juror." See, here," said Dan, quickly, "don't you get me wrong in anything. I steal chickens and watermelons, I drink whiskey and engage in fights. I'm busy, don't you put me in the position of being called to serve on any jury." Alex M. Shirey, of Philadelphia, Pa., has been reading in this paper how E. D. Bishop of Shal lotte and his REA were starting work on their lines along the River Road. So, last week Mr. Shirey and O. J. Ewing said a brief farewell to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, on which both are employed. They came down to see about wiring Mr. Shirey's place, the old Stiffler home on the River Road three miles above FUN Ball-Band CM80S rout KIT AT All THta WTAl MIKTS .i. that's right?MORE FUN ?because ARCH-GARD shoes provides scientific bone and muscle support.

Mr. Shirey plans to make considerable improvements at this place and he is going to retire and move here before very long. Mr. Ewing also plans to bid a permanent goodbye to the Baltimore and Ohio this coming July. He says he is going to spend a good part or all of his time at Scuthport. On this trip the two railroaders stopped with | Mr. and Mrs. Qoley Stanley, who live near the Stiffler place. Several hundred Brunswick i county homes that have been J without electric lights or power except In a few cases where pri ! vate plants were operated, will be getting an abundance of cur rent for all purposes by the mid dle of March or sooner. This will | naturally cause a great demand i for things electrical, from wash ling machines and pumps on down the line. There are several good i business houses in Brunswick, ? handling the best in electrical equipment. The would-be purchas ers of such equipment should look j to the advertisements in this [paper and trade at home when | it is possible. E. F. Middleton, Jr., spent Sat urday and Sunday at Long Beach 'a resident of Charleston with his : father he is one of the main own ers of Long Beach. Mr. Middle ! ton tells us that he hopes to spend much. of his time at the beach this year. He thinks the indications are for one of the biggest years in Long Beach re sidental construction. This belief is well founded. The four miles or more of road taken over and I paved by the highway system last j summer will result in much con struction to add to the 50 or 60 [homes already on that stretch of i road. The prospects of building on the old or main part of the development is also well worth looking into. Our personal belief lis that more than a hundred new homes will be built at the beach during 1949. Constant bragging on the Brunswick county climate appear ed to get some justification Mon day morning. It was no warmer than it usually is but we were riot much astanished when we dropped in at Orton Gardens and came across Robert L. Sturtevant busily engaged in his landscaping work with his shoes off and his pants rolled up. Mr. Sturtevant is one the leading landscape architects of Memphis, Tenn., and Boston, Mass. A native of Boston, he may be more acclimated to cold weather than he is to the sort we have here. Anyhow, on his regular winter trips to Orton he1 usually goes about his work barefooted and wearing a^ pair of shorts. Our opinion that the Brunswick county commissioners named a good man when they selected A.' S. Knowles to take over the place of J. E. Dcdson is getting strong er. We were out with Mr. Know les Monday, sort of meeting up with some folks who ought to know the county agent and whom the county agent ought to know. Personally, we are not so far from being a farmer in our own right that we cannot recognize a good farmer or farm agent when we see one. Mr. Knowles will be a valuable man for Brunswick county farmers to have with them. Monday night we met up with a bunch of four mighty nice waterway tourists, bound down the coast and due to return in about six weeks. One of the party Sam Ashelman, came in the off ice to ask us what sort of green oak leaves were those we had here at this time of the year. He was advised as to everything, in-1 eluding' our name. As soon as he heard that he went to the door and called his wife and two com panions who were waiting out side.
