Waistcoat or “weskit” — no
matter how you pronounce it —
means one of the nattiest fash

it is in crisp, white Lonsdale
pique, teamed with navy skirt of
the same fabric, as one of the
California styles featured in the
February Good Housekeeping.
The “weskit” can be worn under
suits in winter, making it a ver
satile value at $8. And $12 buys

RUNNING FOR SHERIFF
Everywhere [ go these days folks come up to me
and say, “Ed, they tell me that you are really running
for sheriff”. I tell them that there is no mistake about
that. I feel that the job of Sheriff of Brunswick county
is important enough to go out and work for, I realize
that if I am nominated and elected I will have to devote
my full time and attention to the task of bringing clean
and honest law enforcement to our county. This I am
prepared to do.

Dainty star-shaped sandwiches
can be made easily with cookie

is necessary for the success of
the menu, and one that is a fa

which combines it with i uit

Here is one, especially nice for
a festive occasion, which needs
only simple food as an accom

fruit juices thoroughly chilled.

VALENTINE SPARKLE PUNCH
rpEBRUARY is party month,
and because of the many
lovely decorations and novelties
suggestive of affairs of the heart
that are available, it is an es
pecially good time for gather
ings to fete the engaged couple.
St. Valentine parties are not con
fined just to the day, but are
popular throughout the month.
A good beverage is the high
spot of the party menu. For ease
of serving and lightened work,
have a fine-flavored, tangy
punch made with fruit juices
and pale dry ginger ale. This
eliminates running back and
forth to the kitchen to fill glasses
for the crowd. Your guests will
attend to their own refills.

that with four games there hasn’t
been room for many other things.
Monday night both Pirate
teams tackled the Bolivia Bears.
The girls were defeated 33 to 29
and the boys 31 to 19.
Tuesday night both Waccamaw
teams were defeated. The girls
score was 28 to 22 while the boys
came up with a 25 to 14 victory.
Wednesday night the Southport
players came to Shallotte. The
girls game, which was very ex
citing, ended once more in a tie.
Besides the number of points be
ing 40 for each team, there is
something else odd. Each team
scored the same number of field
goals and free shots. The South
port boys trounced the Pirates
for a score of 50 to 30.
Friday night the Pirates met
the Leland Tigers. In the first
game the Shallotte girls won by
a score of 42 to 39. The Leland
boys won in their game by a
score of 59 to 20.
The basketball players got quite
