It seems that they can’t get one to satisfy every body. Maybe they'll get one by the time school is out. The recently organized Beta Club of Bolivia is progressing : very nicely, although a lot of fun ; was poked at them during ini- j tiation days. They had to wear their clothes backwards, wear one stocking and one sock, a shoe of i a kind, one side of their hair up ^ with a ribbon in it, half make-up, ; carry their books in a bucket, kneel to the high school faculty] and say a quotation, each time i they met them. The charter mem- j bers are: Worth Mercer, Nora Mae Mills, Harriette Yount, Em ma Rae McDowell, Betty Mills,; Doris Anderson, Patsy Caison and ! Ethel Purvis. Miss Miller, the English teacher, sponsors the club.

Brunswick County Voters As a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff, 1 am inviting the men and women voters of Bruns wick to investigate my record as a law enforcement officer. I have served as an officer for a total of eighteen years. All of this time has been served in Brunswick coun ty expect 2 years as Deputy Sheriff in New Hanover county ■ under the late Sheriff David Jones. I refer the voters to the books in the office of the clerk of the Superior Court at Southport. 1 think that an investi gation of those books will show that I have served more warrants against law violaters during that time than any _ other Brunswick County officer. If you are looking for a candidate for Sheriff who has •both experience and actual performance of duty, I am sure that an investigation of my record will show you that I am deserving of your vote. 1 am not affiliated with any of the different factions, am strictly on my own in efforts for law enforcement. Wish to say if I have the honor of being elected by the voters of Brunswick County it will be my greatest desire to continue to give the people the best and fairest law enforcement pos sible. I humbly ask for your vote in the May primary elec tion. O. W. PERRY Democratic Candidate For Sheriff - - - ■ ■ Well, news seems to be a bit | scarce, so we'll run along. Until next week, then, 'Bye. Herlevich Cites Danger Of Fire District Forester Requests Motorists, Farmers, Hunt ers And Woods Workers To Be Careful District Forester Joe Herlevich of the N. C. Dept, of Conservation and Development, Whiteville, is sued a warning today to all farmers, woods workers, hunters and motorists that the forests of this area are tinder dry. Her levich says that because of the recent dry windy weather, the underbrush and grass has become explosive, and a spark might set off a serious forest fire. Herlevich asks everyone to co operate with the County Forest Warden by practicing the follow ing rules: Crush your cigarettes before discarding it. and break your match before throwing it away. Motorists, please use your ash tray and do not throw light ed cigarettes out of your car windows. Burn bursh carefully and do not fail to get your brush burning permit required by law. Hunters, make sure your campfires are dead out before leaving them. “Every spring we nave several bad forest fires,” said the district forester, “all caused by careless ness on somebody’s part. This spring the danger is greater than it has been for several years because of the unseasonable win ter. Remember, any forest fire is your fire, your trees, and your loss.” iSeries Strawberry Circulars Printed A series of seven new circulars on strawberry production was published this week by the State College Extension Service.

Willis Smith Comes Out Against Graham Former Speaker Of House Of Representatives And Former American Bar Association Files For U. S, Senator; Robert R. Reynolds Is Third Candidate In Field RALEIGH—A three-way race for the U. S Senate became a certainty Friday when Willis Smith of Raleigh announced he would seek the seat now held by Senator Frank P. Graham. Smith, a prominent lawyer and former speaker of the State House of Representatives, ended several days of intense specula tion over his intentions by ap pearing at the state board of elections to pay a filing fee of $125 as a candidate for the Dem ocratic Senatorial nomination in the primary of May 27. Graham, who was appointed to the Senate by Governor Scott and who has the governor’s blessing, already is actively campaigning for the unexpired term of the late Senator J. Mel ville Broughton. He has opened campaign headquarters here, and former Superior Court Judge Jeff Johnson, who managed Broughton’s successful cam paign in 1948, is Graham's cam paign manager. A third leading contender for the Democratic nomination is former Senator Robert Rice Rey Robert Lee Stout Succumbs At Ash ASH, Feb, 27—Robert Lee Stout, 63, died in Dosher Memo rial hospital Sunday morning at 6:20 o’clock after a long illness.
