Hfenderson Man
ids Fire Truck
ck Received Thi# Week
from Clerk Of Court In
ranee County To Be Ad
ed To Fire Truck Fund
S nding his check for a two
yea 1 renewal subscription to the
Sta e Port Pilot, this week, Elvin
O. 'alkner, Clerk of the Superior
Coi t of Vance County, enclosed
an< her check for five dollars. In
a itter accompanying the two
ch< ks, Mr. Falkner wrote W.
B. Ceziah :
' do not own any property
In Brunswick county but I do
wa : to have a small part in
hel ng the boys of the Southport
Vo nteer Fire Company to pay
for their new fire truck. I am
sending five dollars to that end
and I know that it will be money
well spent by being applied to
such a worthy cause as helping
the unpaid fire fighters to be
come properly equipped."
The check was promptly turn
ed over to Ormond Leggett, one
of the Southport aldermen who
was instrumental in raising the
isubstanial first payment on the'
(truck, along with more that will|
| help towards future payments. |
Asked about the present status of
|the truck fund, Mr. Leggett said:
"We still need a lot of costly
j new hose because we felt that
(all of the funds we now have in
I hand must be held for future
payment on the truck itself. The
struck payments must all be taken
care of as they come due and we
are still a long way from having
i enough money for the full and
?final payment."
Mr. Falkner's check, coming as
'it did from a man living almost
across the State and who has no
'financial interest here, was very
(pleasing to Mr. Leggett. He said:
"We certainly appreciate it. If
Mr. Falkner is so interested in
our Volunteer Fire Department
that he sends five dollars towards
needed equipment, and without
any solicitation, it seems to me
that people in and around South
port, especially at our beaches, can
well afford to give something to
make more effective the protec
tion that the truck will give their
property."
With the truck now standing
ready to go anywhere within a
reasonable distance on instant
notice, Mr. Leggett suggested that
now is a good time for beach
and other nearby residents to
help out by contributing towards
the purchase of the needed hose.
He stated that these checks could
be mailed or given to W. B.
Keziah, payable to the Volunteer
Fire Department.

Duke University Biology Stu
dents Delighted With
Finding On Recent Field
Trip To This Locality
Several years ago Dr. Evans of.
Yale and one of his students in j
botany, now Dr. L. E. Anderson I
of Duke University, visited South-1
port and Bald Head Island. They
were accompanied around by W. |
B. Keziah, a circumstance that
Dr. Anderson recalled with plea- i
sure when he returned here last1
week with a field party from
Duke University.
Talking to the local man Dr.
Anderson said: "I like Southport
and its vicinity much better than j
any other point on the coast for |
study by field classes in botany.'
It is very probable that we shall;
return here each year hereafter!
with classes. The department of i
zoology at Duke should also be
very much interested in what you
have here. I will tell them about
it."
Dr. B. W. Wells, dean of the
school of botany at State College
and a summer resident of South
port, to which place he was at
tracted many years ago by clim
ate and botantical specimens
found here, quotes Dr. Anderson
as having told him that Southport
far excelled the upper part of the
North Carolina coast in things
of interest to the botantical stu
dents. To this Dr. Wells added: "I
have known this all of the years
I have been coming to Southport.
Before his party left Southport
Dr. Anderson was assured that
he could tell the department of
zoology at Duke all he cared to
say about the possibilities of
study at Southport,that if such
students cared to come to South
port and go. out on the deep sea
shrimp trawlers for the purpose
of collecting ? specimens, arrange
ments would be made with the
boatmen to take them on the
trawling trips without charge.

The Rev. R. K. Redwine, sec
retary of the Seaside Assembly
at Ft. Fisher, said Tuesday that
he is uncertain as to when the
Baptists can start using the Cas
well facilities, but said surely this
will be done by next summer.
Credit for bringing the Caswell
propostion to the attention of
State Convention officials goes to
the Rev. H. M. Baker, pastor of
Southport Bapaist church. One of I
his first contacts was M. A. I
Huggins, secretary of the State i
Convention, who has been very

lled Milton Lippman & Company,
i the New York Fulton Fish Mar
I ket concern to whom he does
most of his shipping. They also
thought he had an idea, a big one
that might be important to fish
ermen. They set their own wire
connections to work.
But it began to appear that
with the end of the war shark
repellant ceased to be a needed
commodity. Milton Lippman &
Company are said to have called
to hundreds of contacts, including
the Army and Navy, before they
discovered that the Army had
100 pounds of shark repellant at
Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio.
As there is no special need of
shark repellant as a life saver in
peace times, Wright 'Field agreed
to provide ten pounds for trial to
see if it might have peacetime
industrial uses. The ten pounds J
were sent here by air express |
from Dayton and is being tried!
