SOIL CONSERVATION NOTES | H. F. KIZER Soil Conservation Service A. H. Veazey, Zone Sonserva tionist attached to the Regional office of the U. S. Soil Conservat ion Service in Spartanburg, S. C., spent last Thursdtay in Bruns wick county. Various soil conser vation practices already establish ed or in the process of being ap plied were observed on several farms visited. These farms have soil and water conservation plans prepared for them by the Lower Cape Fear Soil Conservation Dis trict. On the farms visited, sugges tions regarding the proper main tenance of established practices and the latest recommendations regarding the establishment of new practices were made and dis cussed with the farmer. Among the farms visited were those of Charles Taylor and Gil bert Reid of the Winnabow sec tion; W. C. Gore and James Bel lamy of the Shallotte section; Wil liam Grlssett of Grissettown, and Rice Gwynn, Jr., of Longwood. Delbert Meares, conservation farmer on the new highway lead ing to Calabash, believes drain age is the first conservation pra ctice needed on his farm; and that wide, deep, open canals is th efirst item in such a system. These canals not only carry away the excess surface water, but low er the water table generally, and act as good outlets for tile sys tems installed in adjacent fields. A canal approximately one mile long was constructed on the Meares farm in 1949. A dragline was used to dig this ditch. Mr. Meares is continuing his drainage program and a dragline is now operating on another part 2-1 haDACOl LEGGETT’S Southport, N. C. CATHOLIC INFORMATION “Those Foreign Missionaries .. “Nuisances, that's what they are, butting into the lives of poor savages and filling their minds with a lot of inhibitions. Why don't they let hands off? The natives can get along well enough Without having to fuss with Ten Commandments.” Sure! You often hear people talking that way. In fact, a glance at the surface of things might tempt anyone to feel that way. But as soon as you take a close look, the arguments in missionaries pile up with over whelming force. Christianity is the mother of the purest humanitarianism—the impulse to love people, not be cause they can be of service to oneself or to the State, but for their own good and because they have a dignity all their own. It was Christianity which first thought of hospitals and clinics, of orphans’ home and asylums for the unfortunate. Why should we have those things in any but a Christian setup ? For what good Is a feebleminded idiot? He's certainly no earthly good. In fact, he's a drag on society. Only Christianity would try to help him, to nurse him along and make him as comfortable as possible. And that kindness which seems rooted in our nature, where does it come from, if not from cen turies of Christian background? The instinct to help a mother with her sick baby, to sympathize with a grief-stricken neighbor . . . If these things are good in us, and for us, then they must be good for everyone. We haven’t space to mention the most important side of Chris tian influence, the real civilizing factor: Christian belief in God, in the everlasting destiny of each human soul, in the love of Jesus for each individual, and in the i brotherly love which is the hall- ] mark of Christianity. And those Ten Commandments: j they protect your life, your wife, and your property. What’s wrong j with them ? Isn't everyone on i earth entitled to that protection ? I We’re enjoying the benefits ofi a Christian culture right now—of ideals and principles which our forefathers heard from the lips of foreign missionaries centuries ago. It is for us to hand the torch along, to kindle those ideals in the hearts of others, lest they die in our own. For further information about the Catholic Church, write to: Box 351 Whiteville, N. C. of the farm cutting approximately one third of a mile of canal. Soil Conservation Service technicians assigned to the Lower Cape Fear Soil Conservation District, planned both of these canals and made the surveys. Civic Campaign Along Highways Roadside Clean - Up Cam paign Is Being Conducted Along U. S. No. 17 and 74 In Brunswick County The State Highway and Public Commission has started out with one of the biggest civic cam paigns ever put on in this state. It is now engaged in a highway clean-up and beautification pro gram and such work is already being carried on along Routes 74 and 17. Other highways in this and other counties will receive like attention. Public cooperation is necessary and is being asked for much of the program. It is a violation of the law to dump trash on the right of way of any highway and violators, when caught, will be prosecuted. However, it is beyond the right of way that the public can and should help. The commission is asking that no trash be dumped at any point in sight of the highways. And it is asking that at all service stations and other public places oil cans and various trash be removed beyond sight of the road. The public should easily under stand that the object behind the cleaning up of the highways is to make them more interesting and attractive to tourists. Such visi tors, once their view is greeted by unsightly things are apt to choose some other route for then future travels. On the other hand, when the view is always clean, sanitary and pleasing they are bound to feel the desire to re turn that way some day.

The young men singing in the ohorus are all missionary work ers of the Mormon church who have given two years of their lives, paying their own expen ses, to do mission work. The public is cordially invited to the programs. “The Value i CHECKING ACCOUNT SERVICE It is a fact that no checking account de» positor could do for himself what the bank does for him —not even if he were to offer many dollars in the effort to buy this service) Your bank makes available to you facilities and service of a kind that could not be obtained from any other source; Furthermore, as a depositor of one bank you receive service from many banks in the handling and col* lection of your checks; We invite you to avail yourself d the valuable checking account facil* iiies which we have provided; Your Financial Friend ji MEMBER F D.T..C.

From the very outset it was apparent, that this was not a Southport night, but even of the local five had been in top form it j is doubtful that they cauld have stopped the Marine cagers. This same team went to the finals in last years Class B race and ap pear to be even stronger this season. Tommy Bowmer, playing one of his best games of the season, led the Southport attack with 12 points. Gene Russ was next with 6 points. Most of the way South port failed to show the form brought them the Brunswick county championship and repeat edly threw the ball away or into the hands of waiting Lejeune players. Star of this aggregation was Floyd Propst, a deadly set-shot artist who accounted for 22 points. Southport is playing here to night against a visiting Wilming ton Junior Varsity outfit which defeated them earlier in the sea son.

Bragg Re freshes Memory Of Tribu lations Suffered During Days Of World War II 2-Lt. Ruffin Redwine is being transferred from Camp Jackson back to Fort Bragg Saturday of this week. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Redwine of Shal uotte and has rounded out over nine years of service in the army. Some of this service was under circumstances that were far from pleasent. He spent 870 days in a German prison camp near Berlin. Finally rescued by the Russian army just before Berlin fell, he arrived home with his finger and toe nails practically ready to drop off as a result of the tor tures inflicted by his captors in an effort to get him to reveal American military secrets. Ruffin had enlisted before Am erica got into the war. He was training recruits at Fort Bragg when his brother Edward Red wine, now the Brunswick County Tax collector, arrived. Following a lot of effort Edward was as signed to the same company in which his brother was Master Sergeant. A rule that was broken when possible was that brothers, or fathers and sons or other close relatives should not serve in the same companies in the army or on the same ship when in the Navy. Leaving Fort Bragg together, Ruffin and Edward were still to gether in the campaign in North Aferica, and invasion of Italy with a company of 125 men on an advanced scouting mission they were surprised by a large comp any of Germans and all but 15 were taken prisoners. Ruffin was at the rear of the command and was among those captured. He shortly found him self in one of the worst prison camps near Berlin and for 29 months he was both starved and tortured until the Russians ar rived and liberated him. When he finally arrived home he made no move to secure his discharge, his plans then being to go on to the Pacific, if he was permitted, as soon as he recovered his health. He was sent to Florida for six months of rest and at the end of that time he was completely re covered and things were all but over with Japan. Edward, one of the 15 men in the company of 125 who escaped when his brother was captured, was in advance of the company when the rest were surrounded and they were cut off. The 15 dedged afound for a week, living on mice, insects and such food as they could obtain from friend ly Arabs. They finally made their way back to the American forc es. During this wtek of wander ing the Arabs also gave them native cloaks to make them ap pear to be Arabs should the Ger mans spot them at a distance. Edward knew little of what had happened to his brother until he arrived home at the end of the war. In addition to Ruffin and Ed ward, Mr. and Mrs. Redwine had two other sons serving through out the war in the European Theatre. They were Sgt. Legrands and Sgt. James Redwine, Edward was a Staff Sgt. and Ruffin was a Master Sgt. He is now a 2nd lieutenant. Read The Want Ads.
