Soil Conservation District Notes > H. F. KIZER Soil Conservation Service A drag-line is now operating on the Roland Simmons farm near Exum, cutting two drainage can als. The combined length of these canals total over 3,000 linear feet. Big Alligator Swamp, which forms the west boundary on this farm, is being used as an outlet. “I have a water-logged-field on this farm that I seldon make a good crop on, and when I do I am often unable to harvest it due to poor drainage”, Simmons told technicians assigned to the Lower Cape Fear Soil Conservation Dis trict. The technicians first made a preliminary survey to see if a good drainage system could be designed and what the approxi mate cost would be. The results of this survey was made available to the farmer. "A canal of this kind is just what I want, one or two good crops from this field after it is drained will more than pay for it,” Simmons said. Engineering assistance and sup ervision was supplied by Soil Conservation Service technicians assigned to the District. A ‘ preliminary drainage survey is being made for B. M. Me Keithan, the owner of a farm near Bolivia. This farmer has had to almost abandon his farm due to poors drainage. Technicians as signed to the Lower Cape Fear Soil' Conservation District, are making the surveys, the results of which will be made available to Mr. McKeithan. Morehead Boat Here Two Days Big Menhaden Boat Owned By Phillips Interests Here On Way South For Few Days Of Fishing The Mattie Phillips, big new menhaden boat owned by the Phillips Fisheries of Morehead City, spent Sunday and Monday here enroute to Fernandia, Fla., where she will fish for the next few months. The Mattie Phillips is in com mand of Captain Ashton Willis, formerly of Southport and a skip per for the Brunswick Navigation Company during his residence here. The Phillips interests owned and operated a menhaden plant at Southport until the beginning of the war. They still own their factory site here and Captain Willis says that there is talk of rebuilding their factory. He does not know if this rebuilding will be done this year, but is almost certain it will be ready for the 1951 operating season. Read The Want Ads.

Morman Mission In This County j Chapel Recently Completed In Ash Community And Services Being Conducted Twice Each Sunday i Elder Henry Clifford Clark of Spanish Fork, Utah, and Elder J. Nolan Hanson of Dragerton, Utah, both ministers representing the Church of Jesus Chirst of Latter Day Saints, are in Bruns wick and Columbus counties do ing full time missionary work. j These young missionaries are only two from a total of some1 sixty five hundred men and worn- j en representing the church in missionary work throughout the j world. Before going into the field these missionaries were just mem bers of the church who worked at (Various occuptions or professions in regular daily life. When called by their church to fill a mission, i they leave family, home and fri ends and go for a period of from I two to three years to whatever j place the church has called them, i After the mission is over they I return home to go back to school or to their previous profession or work. Among these 6500 young men and women in the world at the present time serving as missionar ies for the church, each one of them testifies to the world that God truly revealed a little over one hundred years ago, that He directly supervised the organiza tion of His church and appeared in the same manner He appeared and revealed Himself to the Israelities, as is related so many times in the Bible. So sincere is the belief of each of these young missionaries In these declarations, and of their importance to everyone, that they spend the two to three years of j their mission entirely at their J own expense, receiving no mone j tary compensation whatsoever, : neither from their church, nor ! from the people, in order to tell others of the great Gospel mes sage. They are entirely supported from their own savings or from i parents or friends at home. In this way they feel that they are obeying the admonition of Christ: “freely ye have received; freely ye shall give.” It is a singular | thing for so many men and wom ! en to give freely of their time at their own expense. It is some thing that few other people in this day and age would do for j their ideals. ! Recently a new brick chapel ,has been completed at Ash. Ser vices are held each Sunday at 10 30 A. M. and 6 P. M. The pub lic is cordualy invited to attend. APC Provides Drainage Work Planning Well In Advance Of Actual Work Urged By S.

A pay ! ment of 10c per cubic yard will be made to the extent of any un used funds for the farm. Mr. Purvis said that purchase orders may be used in obtaining the services of contractors with power equipment. Purchase ord ers, he explains, cover only the part of the cost approved for ACP assistance. The farmer mak ' es his own arrangements with the contractor for the balance of I the cost. i Before assistance can '..e ap proved, the county PMA com ! mittee is obliged to make sure the conservation project planned, ' whether it be the construction of a terrace, installing a drainage system or a pond for stock water meets standard specifications.

Pasture Tour Being Planned Various Farm Agencies Co operating In Tour Of The County To Get First Hand Impression of Pasture Pro gram All agricultural agencies of the county, * better known as the USDA Council, are sponsoring a pasture tour on Thursday, May 4. All seed dealers, fertilizer 'deal ers and farm machinery dealers: as well as the interested farmers i are invited to join up in this big tour of pastures. The object of the tour, accord ing to County Agent A. S. Know les, is to show the various groups some of the results that have been obtaipfd from the pasture planting , program last fall and in previous years. It is hoped to launch an all-out program for this fall and it is believed that the various groups will be in terested in finding out all they can, with the aim of using this knowledge both for their own benefit and to assist other farm ers in putting in good pastures. The plans are for the tour to get underway at the D. R. John son dairy at Winnabow at 9:30 O’clock on the morning of May 4th. From the Johnson dairy they will move to the G. T. Reid farm at 10:15; from there to the Rob Willetts farm at 10:45. From the Willetts farm they are scheduled to arrive at D. L,. Mercers, near Bolivia at 11:15. From Mr. Mercer’s the party go to the Anchor Hotel at Shal lotte Village Point for a dutch dinner. County Agent Knowles is asking that he be notified by May 1st as to • all who will be in the party. This is to avoid delay in serving the dinner by the hotel people knowing in advance how many they are to serve. The afternoon tour will consist of reviewing the work on the Dr. M. H. Rourk farm, wfiere the Shallotte Vocational Agricultural Department is conducting some pasture experiments. Following this the pasture program on the farm of James D. Bellamy will be viewed and the tour will end at about 4 p. m. at the W. C. Gore dairy farm near Shallotte.

Many Persons Lose Benefits _ Figures Reveal That Largs Percentage Of Eligible Beneficiaries Under Social Security Fail To Collect “In a recent study conducted by the Wilmington Social Security office, figures revealed that more than 25% of the living wage earn er claimants and 8% of survivor j claimants in the area services by that office lost benefits during 1949” This statement was made this week by N. A. Avera, man i—M—MiWrWI Wil l Shallotte THEATRE SHALLOTTE, N. C. First show begins each evening at 8:00 o’clock. First Show Satur day at 4:30. Late Show Saturday at 9:15. Sunday Show at 8:00.

An analysis of the study in dicated that the chief reasons for these losses were that workers and their families were not aware of their full rights and privileges under the Social Security Act, and to a lesser extent, that they re ceived incorrect information from unofficial sources. “In order to protect their in terests,” Avera said, “the worker should file a claim for benefits if he has worked under social security, has reached age 65, and has retired from employment un der the law.” Avera pointed out that employ ers can play an important part in reducing benefit losses if they will inform their 65-year old em ployees, who are planning to re tire that they may be eligible for social security benefits for any months in which they earn less than $15.00 Benefits are payable until a formal application is filed at a | Social Security office. Benefits that are lost through delay in j filing cannot be recovered, j The Wilmington Social Security office is locted at Room 125 Cus tom House, Office hours are from 9 a. m. to 5 a. m.

PHONE 11 “Your International Harvester Dealer” Candidate For House Of Representatives I am a candidate for the Lower House of the North Carolina Gen eral Assembly. I have in mind the interest of the people in Brunswick county to serve them in a greater way than I have in the last eleven years. In 1939 I helped organize the Brunswick Electric Membership Co operation. I served on the board of directors for 7 years. Five years ago I organized the Farm Bureau in this county and peo ple said it couldn’t be done. My Purpose For Organizing The Farm Bureau Was: 1. To maintain better prices for our farm products. 2. To help build new homes and better homes. I realized that when the farmer makes money it means more business for the business man, it helps the fisherman sell his fish and the oyster man his oysters, the sawmill man his lumber. It also helps cold storage places and various other businesses. It means more money in circulation in the county. As chairman of the Farm Bureau Telephone com mittee I see encouraging prospects for phones in our rural homes. If the farmers, fishermen, business men, lumber men, and every good citizen would like to be well represented in the General Assembly and wish to have a representa tive who will be for better schools, better roads and highway safety and one that would not limit time nor cost when serving the people of his home county, then your support and vote will be greatly appreciated. In case I am elected I will be asking God’s guidance that I shall not dissapoint you in Raleigh. T. T. (TomTeddy) Ward i
