J. O. (Orin) Smith, a coope
rator with the Lower Cape Fear
Soil Conservation District, has a
large farm on Highway 130 about
seven miles east of Supply. This
farm is now cash leased to the
Stanley Brothers. On this farm
there are two fields of four and
six acres respectively, separated
by a cross ditch only 200 feet
long.
“If we could tile this ditch and
close it up," said one of the Stan
leys,” “we could save turning the
tractor around 120 times every
time we broke artd cultivated
these two fields besides bringing
in approximately two-tenths of
an acre of waste land now in
ditch banks.” They approached

“We are now working across
the old ditch”, said one of the
brothers, “and it is One of the
driest and most fertile spots in
the field, and we are saving time
and gasoline every trip we make
by eliminating one-half of the

Regulations Of
GI Bill Loans
Brunswick County Veterans
Service Officer Tells Of
Regulations C o v e ri n g
Loans Of Various Kinds
“A veteran who served at any
time between September 16, 1940,
and July 25, 1947, and was dis
charged under conditions other
than dishonorable after at least
90 days active service (or for
service-incurred disability in less
than 90 days may quality for a
GI loan,” says C. L. Rourk, Vete
rans Service Officer for Bruns
wick County. „
Three types of loans are avail
able: (1) to purchase, construct
or improve a home; (2) to buy
a farm, farm land, stock and seed,
farm machinery and other farm
supplies and equipment; and (3)
to buy a business or otherwise to
enable a veteran to undertake or
expand a legitimate business ven
ture.
Under certain conditions, loans
may be obtained to liquidate de
linquent indebtedness incurred in
connection with these three cate
gories.
The Veterans Administration
does lend money to the veteran.
He makes his own arrangements
for the loan through the usual
financing channels. The Veterans
Administration then guarantees
the lender against loss up to 50
percent of the loan, with a
maximum guarantee of $4,000 on
real estate and $2,000 on non
real estate loans.
The Veterans Administration
also pays the lender, for credit
to the veteran's loan account, a
sum equal to 4 percent of the
guaranteed portion of the loan.
This is a gift to the veteran and
not a loan.
Farm realty loans may be made
repayable in up to 40 years;
other realty loans, in up to 25
years, and non-realty loans, in up
to 10 years. The interest rate nor
mally may not exceed 4 percent
a year on the unpaid balance.
Veterans have until July 25,
1957, in which to apply for GI
loans.
For other veteran’s affairs con
tact the County Veteran’s Service
Officer.

his nose. Except for soreness and
bandages, he was in his usual
shape next day.

Your Support Will Be Appreciated
To The Voters
OF
Brunswick County
Having heretofore announced my candi
dacy for State Senator from the 10th Senatorial
District, subject to the will of the voters in the
Democratic Primary to be held May 27, 1950,
and if I am nominated and elected I hereby
pledge myself:
1. To advocate that the State of North Caro
lina, by proper resolutions and laws, go on re
cord to encourage and help the Federal Goven
ment construct a spill-way somewhere near the
North Carolina - South Carolina line and there
by drain the Waccamaw River Overflows, which
will mean the reclamation of many thousands
of acres of land for farming and timber purpos
j T.° advocate and work for complete un
derstanding and harmony between the towns
and cities in Brunswick County, and the rural
sections.
3. To secure a part of the seven - million dollar appropriation made
by the last General Assembly for port development to be used for the
development of docking facilities and the deepening of inlets and chan
nels in Brunswick County. The last General Assembly did not provide
for Brunswick County to receive one cent of said funds.
4. To work for the construction of telephone lines and the installa
tion of telephones in all of the homes in Brunswick County.
. 5. To work for the equalization of old age pensions so that a person
living in Brunswick County will receive as much as a person living in a
richer county. At the present time those receiving old-age pension checks
in Brunswick County receive less than the amount received by those liv
ing in more prosperous counties.
6. To work with the State Administration to help Brunswick County
receive its fair and proportionate share of the Two Hundred Million Dol
lar Road Fund and the Fifty Million Dollar School Fund so that Bruns
wick County will have roads and schools second to none.
7. To work to continue and complete an adequate investigation and
survey of the fishing and shrimping grounds off the cokst of Brunswick
County and North Carolina.
8. To work to provide transportation for all school children regard
less of distance, and thereby repeal the present laws which require many
school children to walk to school through mud, rain, water and snow,
while empty school buses pass them by.
9. To work and do all in my power to see that the veterans of all
wars receive all benefits which are provided for them by the laws of the
State of North Carolina and the United States, and to vote for and sup
port any legislation that is favorable to veterans.
10. To name to the Brunswick County Board of Education those
members who receive the endorsement of their fellow citizens through
the medium of the preferential vote; and where there is no contest to
name to the Board of Education those candidates who have filed for their
respective school district and are unopposed.
The foregoing are a few of the things which 1 hope to be able to do
for Brunswick County, but there are many more matters which will come
before the General Assembly w'hich 1 can and will do all in my power to
help accomplish.
If you want the foregoing matters and things for Brunswick Coun
ty, please contact your friends and get them to contact their friends and
see that I am nominated and elected by a large majority.
