Southport Boats Head For Florida - All but a few of the boats of the Southport big fleets of Shrimp trawlers will have moved off to Fernandia, St. Augustine and other Florida points within another week. Eight of the Bill Wells boats have been at St Augustine for some time. Captain Merritt Moore is likewise down there. Others are at Fernandia. Some of the Dallas Pigott boats will leave this week and the rest will follow within a week. The “eight, big boats of the Hardee fleet are also expected to move southward within a week. Tiie expectations of most of juie boatmen is that they will « fish in Fernandia and St. Augus * tine until Christmas. After that ; the tentative plans are to move » on down to Key West for two or i three months of fishing before * they again head homeward. The » big' trawling grounds located off 1 Key West a year ago do not 1 seem calculated to hold the in t terest of the workers longer ; than March, if that long. i RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL i Ed Hanson, who has been in a j veterans hospital in Virginia for the past several weeks, is sche duled to return to his home here : today.

We have plans under way for , ! the construction of a modern of- j fice building to provide the neces sary -space and arrangement necessary to properly handle the volume of detail work relating to billing and collecting of ac counts, service orders, construe- 1 tion work orders, purchases and disbursements, general account ing, public relations, etc. When this building is completed we will be better able to effi ciently expedite all activities re lating to the processing of re i cords. Another phase of our opera ; tions to which we are giving | special emphasis is the develop j ment of ways and means to ] eventually secure an economical | and adequate source of our I wholesale power requirements. We i recognize the necessity of pro ' viding for the future require | ments of our members. In con I junction with our engineers we j are now exploring1 every pos j sibility that might make it pos | sible for us to be able to secure j electric power from the hydro ; ! electric plants and transmission | lines of the department of In terior, when such power is avail able. The situation, as far as our power supply is concerned, tt$-day is fluid and uncertain. It is vital to the welfare of our members that we secure a source of power that we know will be adequate for all time to come and low in cost. It is necessary that, low cost : electric power be secured for this entire area in order that the towns and cities, as well as the farms, can be developed to the maximum economic welfare. We are accepting the challenge to lend our full support of time and effort to the end that secur ity of source and adequate supply at low cost may be developed for this area.

And, because of transfers, your letters to him may be delayed, but rest assured he’s getting the best possible medical attention.” Military authorities, he explain ; od, retain at all times responsibili i ty for notifying- . families about serious illness or death of ser , viceman. ‘‘If he’s placed on the critical list, the military will do every j thing possible to keep you in | formed. In all hospital cases, if ; i a family has not received pro- | j gress reports, and their own ef- ! forts to reach their hospitalized ! serviceman direct by letter or j cable have failed, the Red Cross' ; chapter here will attempt to ; reach him through its staff in ! Korea and Japan.” The Red Cross staff in the hos | pital, however, can only provide information approved for release , by the military authorities, ac j cording to Mr. Hayman. If the i i casualty is one about which an I official notification is being sent i Attention Automobile & Truck Owners We can now write all kinds of automobile and truck insurance with The Pennsylvania Threshermen & Farmers Mutual Casualty Co.
