Soil Conservation District Notes H. F. KIZER Soil Conservation Service Light rains came during the first week in May to most of Brunswick county. The dry spell was broken in most communities except i nthe Hickman's Cross roads section. I visited this section during the past week and stopped by to see W. A. Hardee, a co operator with the Lower Cape Fear Soil Conservation District. I was most interested in seeing his Ladino Clover - Fescue pasture that he seeded last fall. "The pasture has done remark ably well considering the drought, Mr. Hardee said, as we stood ad miring a sow and ten fat thrifty pigs then grazing on it,” and I am certainly glad that we fol lowed the recommendations made on that land capability may in my farm plan and located it on this dark heavy land”. As I turned away to leave, he added, "I have some more land like this in the woods that I am going to clear and put in pasture as it is better suited for this than any other use that I know of”. Other district cooperators have also found that the dark, heavy, wet natural lands have grown much better pastures than the light high dry natural soils. This has always been true to some ex tent during any season, but the contrast has been outstanding during this dry spring. Since the warm spring- weather has come, the Bicoler Lespedeza planting on the Rice Gwynn, Jr., farm at I,ongwood has put out and started to grow. Interested Brunswick county farmers can see wildlife stripes of this plant of ail ages and sizes, and on most soil types and under most any farm condition on this farm. IX FLEET EXERC ISES Rifton E. Sellers, boilerman, third class, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rifton E. tellers of Supply, participated in tile recent major fleet exercises in West Coast waters. He is on the destroyer USS A. J. Isbell. “Help Me To Help You” VOTE FOR EDDIE SPENCER I am asking every voter in the County for their support and help to elect me as one of their County Commissioners in the May 27 Democrat Primary. » “Together we stand, divided we fall.” Let’s all get out and vote.

Reaction Given To Photo Visit Bulletin Issued Weekly By State News Bureau Gives Favorable Impression Of Brunswick Visit Following the visit here last week Chailie Parker, director of the Stale News Bureau, and John Hemraer, the official photograph er, their weekly bulletin which has a very large circulation had some nice things to say about Brunswick county. The department sends out re gular news stories and pictures to papers all over the country. The bulletin is intended more to ■let North Carolina people know about North Carolina. Following are some excerpts from the cur rent issue: “Brunswick, the extreme south eastern county in North Carolina is booming—recreationallv and in dustrially—44 new cottages are going up on Long, Holden and Caswell beaches . . workmen are busy painting and repairing the building of Fort Caswell for use as State Baptist Seaside'Assem bly. A large motor court is pre paring to go up in Southport and numerous dwellings are going up in the towns and surrounding country. Four menhaden factories are in the planning state for the Southport area. These including the only floating fish factory, in North Carolina, a 3-decker, moun ted on a 166 foot steel barge that is arriving from Norfolk this week. Talk persists that a modern hotel—badly needed to accom modate sports fishermen and vacationists— is in the cards for Southport. “Bill Keziah reports heavy blue fish catches at Southport—one party brought in 711 weighing a total of about 1,200 pounds. Another party pulled in 676 be fore quitting from exhaustion. “When John Hemmer arrived in Brunswick to take pictures for the North Carolina News Bur eau, Bill Keziah had models lined up—30 of them with a bus to transport them! They were pretty high school girls and they went through the paces like profes sionals—in bathing suits and shorts for shots at the Fort Cas well bathing pools and spots on the beaches, including some pic tursque spots at the lower end of Long Beach where grass and tree covered sand dunes rise 99 CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF On The Democrat Ticket As most of you already know, I am running for the nomination for Sheriff, subject to the will of the voters in the Primary Election on May 27th. I have had ex perience as a law enforcement officer, both as deputy sheriff and as rural policeman. I want you to investi gate my record, and if you are satisfied, I want you to support me for the high office of Sheriff of Brunswick county. M. R.

HUGE GAM A clam weighing live pounds and four ounces was being ex hibited here this week by Ever ett H. Sheppard, of Shiloh, N. J., and Southport. Mr Sheppard’s reactions when the clam was found near Bald Head Island was that he had got hold of a mode rate sized cannon ball. FOREST WARDEN Continued From Page One will again become critical. Mr. Mercer wishes to thank the people of Brunswick county for the splendid cooperation given him during the recent emergency, but says that fire prevention is much better and less expensive. "Stop the fire before it starts”, then the supply of wood products will never be exhausted. CANDIDATES RECEIVE Continued From Page One “My dear Mr. Baker: “I have the questionaire of May 12, which your committee propounded, for which I wish to thank you. "Before attempting to answer same, I would like very much if you would inform me whether or not two candidates for office in Brunswick County, one of whom is a candidate for the General Assembly, attended the meeting at which plans for the preparation of the said questionaire were dis cussed and helped and advised in the preparation of the said ques tionaire. X would not request this information if I did not have in formation from sources which I consider reliable that two can didates did attend said meeting. “Upon receipt of the above re quested information I shall then attempt to the best of my ability to answer each and every one of the questions frankly, freely and fully, so that your committee will know' where I stand. “X am enclosing herewith a copy of the platform which I have adopted, and I also suggest that your committee inquire dili gently and carefully into my past record while serving as Clerk of the Superior Court of Brunswick County, two terms in the State Senate and County Attorney foi eight years, and after doing so be governed by my past record. “Sincerely yours, “S. B. Frink" The following answer has been reecived by Frink from the Allied Church League committee chair man: "Replying to your letter of May 15, let me say first of all that I appreciate the letter and the question raised therein. I believe your question altogether fail and am glad to giver you a frank renlv “The motion to prepare a ques tionaire to be sent to all can didates for office in our County was adopted at the last regular monthly meeting of the Allied Church League, held at Ellah Baptist Church on Monday night, May 8. The League meets on the first Monday night following the first Synday in each month and all meetings are public meetings. Any citizen at any time is free to attend these meetings. At the meeting in question, (though no special or specific invitation was issued to any political candidate in our County), three candidates for office were present and heard the above mentioned motion dis cussed and adopted. I was moderator of this meeting in the absence of the president and I do not recall any one of the candidates debating the motion before its official adoption by the League.

Ward I can see nothing improper about his participating in the debate had he wished to I do so for he has been a member | of the League since its beginning I and has been active in its work,) After the motion was adopted I I gave the candidates a chance to ; make a statement if they cared j to do so, and all of them accepted the invitation extended by the chairman. “The actual formulation of the \ questions took place on Wednes day night, May 10, at a special i committee meeting held at the Bolivia Baptist Church at 6 P. M. At that meeting there were no | candidates for office present and | the questions as they are printed in the questionaire are the re | suit of the work of this commit tee without advice from any can didate for office. The committee members are: Rev. Burt Bennett, Rev. Walter Phelps, Mr. Stanley (whose initials I do not recall), Rev. Taft Hewett and I. “The action of the League in this matter is not to be con structed as an effort of any poli tical faction against another fact-, iofi, but as a sincere attempt to focus attention on moral issues and current problems in our Coun ty and State. This action is state-wide in scope and is a ^)art of the general policy of the Allied Church League throughout North Carolina. It is also in keeping with a motion adopted by the Brunswick Baptist Association three years ago, anti a report ap proved by the Baptist State Con vention in Raleigh in November of 1949. I do not have on hand the specific information as to the stand of the Methodist Church on this effort, but am almost certain that it has been adopted as a policy by that far-reaching Church. “I appreciate your invitation to check your past record as an office holder and have tfie highest personal regard for your ability. "Trusting that I have answered your question satisfactorily and assuring you of my cooperation in any effort that will promote the moral well being of our Coun ty, I remain "Sincerely yours H. M.
