Red Cross runds Needed Now For Disaster Relief With Solicitation Of Funds Now Under Way In Brunswick County Folks Have The Opportunity To Know What They Are Helping With the local roll call for the Red Cross now in full swing- un der the direction of County Ag ent A. S. Knowles, the urgency for funds with which to carry on the normal functions of the Brunswick County Chapter is heightened by the unscheduled need for funds to meet the needs brought about by the recent tor nadoes in several southern states. A national goal of $90,000,000.- , 00 has been set for entire fund |, raising, with $5,000,000.00 to go for relief in the stricken areas. , Brunswick county is being ask ed to provide $150.00 of this to tal. In a letter received by the lo cal chapter John S. Sinclair, National Fund Chairman who visited the disaster area, describ es the need for funds with which to meet the current need. He said, “Community after commu nity — churches, homes, public buildings —- leveled. I have seen mass funerals of the dead of these communities. I have seen the human needs that stand out and make you want to do every thing possible to relieve the suf fering and to help the living to rebuild their lives. Over 2,000 families already are known • to need help—your help — the help of the citizens of your commun ities and chapters. “Tell your workers the human story of the suffering and the need, and have them show the people of your chapter how they can help these people. Congressman Is Local Visitor F. Ertel Carlyle Visitor In Southport Saturday, Plans To Be Back In Brunswick Within Few Days By W. B. KF.ZIAH Congressman F. Ertel Carlyle, a visitor here Saturday, showed himself tremendously pleased with the status of the Sunny Po int ammunition outloading depot project. With Lawrence Redmond his secretary, and Mrs. Carlyle, the Congressman was making a brief visit here while on the way to Lumberton. Unmindful of the fact that this is election year and that he is up for renomination, Congressman Carlyle has been sticking closely to his work in Washington. He stated that things in the capitol are such that he can now be in his district for a week or more and that he will be back in Brunswick soon. Regarding Sunny Point, Con gressman Carlyle pointed out that the project will lead to tremen dous economic development thro ughout Brunswick and adjoining counties. The private industrial possibilities that are sure to come with the work on the river are almost limitless. The project in itself will bring to lower South eastern North Carolina one of the biggest payrolls. Southeastern North Carolina labor should get this payroll, he said, and the mon ey will gravitate through a large area.

Still, the large number of un Continued on Page Five Franklin Park Scene of Beauty The azaleas in Franklin Park at Southport will be the best they have ever been during this c oming week-end, and during next week.

In addition to the display of blobm already open, thousands more will burst into bloom in the next two or three weeks.

J. McLamb Here In Record er’s Court Monday With no court on March 17 owing to the illness of Judge W. J. McLamb, a docket of 60 cases had piled up for Monday of this week and a large number of them had to be continued for various reasons, including the fact that Attorney S. B.

KK/IAH Our ROVING Reporter Folks who like to fish in inland waters along the coast will be interested in knowing that spots and other fish are beginning to bite. M. L. Inman of Whiteville got 150 fish, nearly all of them spots, in the waterway at Shall otte Point one afternoon last week. The fish were small but they provided interesting sport. The number being caught this early in the year leads to the belief that the fish are coming back to the inlet. John W. Garner of Shallotte Point will have a brand new sport fishing cruiser delivered this week. He plans to fish off shore for blues and mackerel and also go to the gulf. His new boat is admirably suited for Gulf Stream fishing. It is 46 Va feet in length, has a depth re-1 corder, two-way radio, 4 chairs, outrigger and everything you may expect to find in a first class fishing cruiser. The fact that the Azalea Fes tival is over is not to be taken to mean that flower blooming is also at an end. Reports from Orton are also to the effect that the Indica’s, most beautiful of all azaleas, are at their very best this week and will continue to be beautiful and abundant for ten days or longer. Unless ad verse weather sets in the com ing week-end will see the flow ers at their peak.

An illustration of this may be found in the new building being constructed by M. H. Hart on the water front. Mr. Hart set out to build a cafe with an up-to-date fish market in one end. Busy working on the struc ture he altered his plans when L. B. Bennett of Hickman’s Cross Roads came along and wanted to lease the whole struc ture for a super market. Dividing walls that had just been put up had to be torn out to make room for the super mar ket and Mr. Hart will have to build the fish market separate.

Attending as guests were mem bers of three other families who had a loan closed during the year. Three farm ownership families in the county have repaid their loans 32 years or more in advance of the date.

At the February term with 200 cases on the docket, some of them dating as far back as 15 years, court convened at 10 a. m., and adjourned at noon the same day. There was no busi ness to be transacted. The cost of the term was high, consider ing that it lasted only two hours! Judge Morris ordered that for next week’s term the entire doc ket, including the long-standing cases, be arranged. Seven of the older cases were labeled as "musts” to be tried first. When they are called they will either be tried then and there or they will be nonsuited and wiped from the records. These cases and the order in which they will be called are Smith vs Stanley, Hughes vs Smith, Clemmons vs Gamer, ( Continued On Page Five ) Family Of 5 Dies In Car Collision Former Residents Of Colum bus County Were Enroute To Visit Sick Relative Near Ash Five members of a former Co lumbus County family were killed and another was critically injur ed Sunday in an auto-truck col lision near Bennettsville, S. C. The victims were Oliver H. Gore, 43, of Albemarle, driver of the car; his wife, Annie Lau rie Gore, 40; his son, Oliver, Jr., 8; his daughter, Gail, 11; and his mother, Mrs. Amanda Long Gore, 73. Another daughter, 13-year-old Olivia, was critically injured and is in a hospital. The Gore family was enroute to Ash, Brunswick county, to vis it Mrs. Amanda Gore’s brother, George Long, who is ill. Mrs. Long and her son had lived in the Reeves Ferry section prior to about 25 years ago when they moved to Albemarle where Mr. Gore was a well-known business man, engaged in the manufac ture of concrete blocks.

Legal Sale Of Beer And Wine Outlawed In Bruns wick By Two To One Margin With Unusually Large Vote Being Cast CARRY ALL BUT FOUR PRECINCTS Vote Greater And Margin Of Victory Larger Than In January 1949 When Legal Sales Were First Banned The Brunswick county drys scored a crushing two to one de cision over the folks favoring le gal control of beer and wine sales Saturday. The final vote showed 1202 fa voring the legal sale of wine to 2521 against the legal sale of wine. There were 1206 votes cast in favor of the legal sale of beer to 2516 against the le gal sale. This opinion shows a slight gain for the drys over the re sults of the last county-wide el ection held on January 29, 1949. At that time the ratio was not quite two to one, with 963 vot ing in favor of legal control of wine sales to 1813 against. In the 1949 voting there were 963 who favored legal sale of beer, while 1734 cast their ballot ag ainst legal sales. An indication of the great am ount of interest in Saturday’s voting is reflected in the fact that almost one thousand more people cast a ballot in this elec tion. Only in four precincts were a majority of votes cast for legal sales. Hoods Creek voted wet by a large majority; Leland vot ed wet by a narrow margin; Southport No. 1 voted wet by about 3 to 2 ratio; and South port No. 2 was wet by about a 3 to 1 margin. The strongest vote in the county against legal sales was cast at Supply, where the mar gin was 9 to 1.
