Back again to serve you with
the latest happenings (mostly
gossip) in and around Shallotte1
high.
The basket ball season may be
over for some, but not for us.
It's still goin strong. Thursday
night the Shallotte girls tackled
and took over the Warn pee, S. C.,
girls, winning with a score of
35 to 14. In the boys game Shal

We don't know how to go
about it, but we would- like to
suggest that someone start a
movement to have a county gym
nasium capable of seating 2500
people, built at some central place
in the county, so as to provide
for basketball tournaments and
other athletic events. There is
not a school gymnasium any
where in the county that can take
care of the ardent supporters of
the various teams this gymnasium
could serve for other purposes
besides ball games and we think
it would be deeply appreciated
by the people.
A large and interested crowd
attended the dance at the gym
nasium Friday night. This dance,
sponsored by the Lions Club, was
held to raise money for the
lunch room.
Last Wednesday the students of!
Shallotte high school were de
lighted to have Mrs. Maynard, a i
missionary from Mobile, Alabama,
speak to them. Mrs. Maynard
made a very inspiring and in-!
formative talk on her missionary
work among the colored people
in Alabama.
We are very proud of our sen-1
iors who are going to donate
$250.00 as a gift to the school to
help defray the cost of printing
the annual. Speaking for the
students general, we would like
to thank these seniors for their
generosity. It means a lot towards
our getting our first high school
annual.
Wanted?young and experienced
fish doctor, unmarried and crazy
enough to know what he is talk
ing about. Pay includes candy to
eat in study hall. If interested
contact any student in biology
immediately. (Explanation-our fish
in the laboratory are dying.)
(Note by the State Port Pilot:
Our Fish Editor says that if you
avoid, any sudden change in the
temperature of the water your
fish will live alright. If the water
is warm do not replace it with
cold or vice versa.)
After the movie Friday everyone
including the dignified seniors,
looked dreamy-eyed. The reason
was that the name of the movie
was "The Crystal Ball." It's main
stars were Pauletta Godard and
Ray Millaftd.

Over Visiting Rocky Point
Southport's negro high school
basketball team took both games
in an encounter with the Rocky
Point high school here Thursday j
afternoon. The girls won 18 to t
11 and the fast little boys came j
through 39 to 12.
j Despite the one sided scoring
j in the boys game there was never
a dull minute. The boys started
^ff at a fast pace and just kept
going. A feature of that game
j were several beautiful floor shots
by Waldo Price, generally regard
led as the Southport star player.
j Still young and small, Price and
tall of the other members of the
; team have two years more to
j go in school. In addition to Waldo
(Price the first string line up is
! usually formed of Willie McDon
I aid or Mackey Galloway, Ted
King, George Parker and Donald
Galloway.
Playing well but losing a larger
percent of their games than the
boys, it seems that the girls team
j will have to be almost completely
revamped for next season. Five of
the players are 12th graders, due
to graduate this spring. The pre
sent team is rather small, but j
several tall girls from the coun
try attending school by bus are
said to be practicing for positions
next fall. This year's teams have
been lined up from the following
Mims, Ernestine Joyner, Estelle
girls: Ernestine Clemmons, Laurie
Stanley, Majorie Gore (all 12th
graders), Laurie McRacken,
' Elaine Wortham, Allegra Smith
land Elizabeth Williams.
With this the only negro school
| basketball team in Brunswick, the
.games have had to be with teams
I from a considerable distance. Ta
; bcr City, Chadbourn, Whiteville,
! East Arcedia, Rocky Point. Wil
liston. Burgaw and other teams
usually furnish the opposition.
Competiting strongly to furn
ish entertainment for the games
on the home court are the antics
of about a hundred boys and girls
I in the cheering stand. They are
led by Charles Swain, Curtis
Lewis, Robert Parker, Estelle
Price, Ruby Parker, Rose Swain,
I Rosa Gallcway, Bertha Joyner,
Mary McRacken and others. They
| are all right there with the noise
and show whenever a game is
| played.
VISITING AT SHALLOTTE

man of New York, ard his son,

and was caught by Luther Holden
and L. V. Ward, Mrs. R. H.
Holden of Shallotte and Holden
Beach i caught 3 yellow tails one
afternoon last week. Mr. and Mrs.
Bill Grady, also of the beach,
;said one of them was the largest
yellow tail they had ever seen.
At first Mrs. Holden thought it
was a mullet.
No blue mold has made its
appearance in Brunswick county
this far but the plant disease
was reported in the Georgia to- j
bacco beds last week. It is said
that the Georgia appearance was
the earliest of which there is any
record. It is extremely likely that
the disease may make its appear
ance in the Brunswick county
tobacco beds in the next few
weeks. County Agent Knowles
said Saturday that he would
shortly send out instructions to
the tobacco growers on the lat
est and best known methods of
control, should the disease appear
here.
Two acres of beautiful lettuce
on the tomato plant farm of
Everett H. Sheppard forms about
the most advanced crop in
Brunswick county at the present
time. At the recent rate of
growth the lettuce wall be begin
ning to head up in another week.
Right along the river road, the
field is very attractive to the
occupants of passing cars. Mr.
Sheppard has not been in any
hurry to plit out his tomato seed.
Plants would attain too much
growth before the danger of
frost would permit them to be
transplanted in the open field in
New Jersev.
We had an interesting visitor
Sunday. Or we- might say that
the visit here had some interest
ing circumstances. Mr. Riddle
from Pennsylvania came in to
say that while he was at Key i
West several days ago a gentle
man gave him.his card and ask
ed him to stop at Southport, give
us the card and his regards. Mr.
Riddle got to Wilmington and
there found out where Southport
was. He also found out that he
had lost the card that he was
to give us. Determined to make
good, he turned around and came
down here to tell us all about it.
We still don't know who sent

the card.
Captain Leon McKeithan is
slightly puzzled over how long a
king crab will live out of its
element at the bottom of the sea
without either food or water. Ed
Oliver is also a party to the puz
zle. Five weeks ago tomorrow
McKeithan caught a large tyng
crab and brought it in. They have
a shell somewhat like that of
a turtle, but they have ten times
more legs?hideous looking ones j
at that?than a turtle. The crab ! j
was donated to Mr. Oliver who'
was intrigued by its shell. It is
still living, apparently happy and
contented in Mr. Oliver's yard.
It has had neither water or
food since it was taken from the
ocean.
If we are not badly off the I j
beam in our reckoning the j ]
Brunswick county azaleas will be j i
at their peak of bloom 20 days 1
earlier than usual this year. The
usual time for the peak of bloom
is early in April. This year it
will come well before the end
of March. With the existing stage
of development of the buds the j
only thing that will prevent the]
peak from coming early is frost j
and cold weather! That may j
mean a slight delay in the arrival
of the peak, and it can also mean
heavy injury to the blossoms.
Our tip to Brunswick folks and
others who want to see beautiful
flowers is that they should look
at them now and keep looking.
A few days ago we accompanied
County Agent A. S. Knowles and
Mr. Ballentine of the State De
partment of Agriculture on a trip
up the river road. The purpose
was to see the strawberries ai
the Fred Stevens Magnolia Dairy,
the lettuce and various plants on
the farm of E. H. Sheppard and
the flowers grown at Orton.
Without being asked for an
opinion Mr. Ballentine comment
ed that there is some very fine
land for all purposes up that
road. The hard surfacing that
Commissioner J. A. Bridgers star
ted and which will probably be
finished this year will result of
a great building activity and the
opening of new farm and trucking
lands. With the road, with REA
lines and telephone lines, this
section is set for a big develop
ment.

British Hospital as a patient and
for a time there were indications
that he was staging a normal
recovery.
Relatives were advised that fun
eral services were held at the
kospital Chapel by the chaplian,
