Yaupon Village Plans Program Announcement Expected To Be Released Regarding Immediate Plans For This Nearby Project In an interview last night G. V. Barbee of Barbee's, Inc., own ers of the 200-acre Yaupon Vil lage property at Long Beach, said hoped to have an important I announcement to make within the next two weeks, possibly next 1 Week. ’ Yaupon Village is in the beau ■7tiful Woods that run down almost t(V the strand tfi an area near the upper end of Long Beach. In the storm the Cafe building near the strand was the only struc ture destroyed. Occupants of the homes continue to live where they "Were before the storm. These -‘homes, largely protected by the 'feterounding trees, came through' undamaged. Barbee’s Incorporated has plans bo have Yaupon Village itself in-1 uoorporated as a town. -o;,Mr. Barbee did not state what his “important announcement" would cover but evidently talk ing of something else he remar ked “I am fairly sure that we '-Will build 20 tourist court units, four rooms to each unit. We want them to look like homes, as they "Will be.” The houses that the Barbee’s have already built at Yaupon Village are sufficient guarantee ’ that whatever they construct or Will have constructed will be of top quality. ' The developer had some fri ends down with him when he was interviewed. While they did not state their interests in any of his plans, they appeared enthusiastic to a definite big development in his property. Negro Arrested With Liquor Load Traveling the highway near Ice land last week with 43 Vst gallons . Of post hurricane non-tax paid brew in his Pontiac car, Vance Knox, Leland negro, was caught by Corporal O. H. Lynch and Patrolman Seth Thomas of the Slate Highway Patrol. The booze, car and owner con , ptituted a pretty good haul. The p ■ fiP wil1 be confiscated if the ne I gi’o is convicted. Brunswick Men Attend Soil Meet • J. D. Bellamy, Jr., of Shallotte end Corbett Coleman of Ash, Brunswick County Soil Conservati on Supervisors, recently attended *■ meeting of District Supervisors of the Lower Cape Pear Soil Conservation District. The meet ing was held in Bell’s Club house ' near Currie, which is in Pender county. After a business session in the morning and a barbecue lunch, a. tour of Pender county farms was ,'heid in the afternoon. Mr. Bel lamy. who is chairman of the Dis trict board, presided over the -meeting. Galloways Show Building Spirit Mr. and Mrs. Richmond Gallo way of Supply lost three homes and a store at Long Beach. Nevertheless they have the build ing spirit, just as strong as ever. In this office Saturday Mrs. Galloway said that they will start about the work of building an other store and two cottages. This is 75 percent of what they lost and by the time they get through this 75 percent replacement this couple will probably be going right | on to more than replace the en tire loss. ADDITIONAL ENGINEERS The Southern Mapping Com pany, with field offices at Sunny Point, had 10 additional engineers to arrive this week. They are busy mapping out the road build ing work and various other things recently awarded to the E. B. Towels Company in their $1,600, 000 contract. Shows Employee His Own Project Noted for his willingness to be a free guide. for folks who want to he shown over Sunny Point, W. B. Keziah of The Pilot force was rather stumped Saturday. “Cap’n" Tommy Thompson, foreman of the ballasting crews for the T. F. Scholes, Inc., came around and asked the local man to go and show him over the huge installation. It developed that Mr. Thomp son had been working at the installation since May 17. How ever, his job has all been on the railroad classification yard west of the highway. He had never been along the river on the east side where the docks are, and he wanted to see what other contractors are doing. Tomlinsons To Build At Beach Misses Sailie And Margaret Tomlinson Are Among First Builders At Long Beach And Plan To Re build When Long Beach first started to build up two Fayetteville ladies. Misses Sailie Wooten Tom linson and Margaret McNeil Tom linson, were the first to build on the waterfront. Their home and family furniture, some of it more than 200 years old, was destroyed. Despite this loss the two ladies will probably be the first to build a new home comparable to the old one. They are definitely going to rebuild. For the past several years they have made their year round home there and love the place too much to entertain any thought of leaving it now. Miss Sailie was City Clerk and treasurer for the City of Fay etteville for 26 years and owner of the S. W. Tomlinson Insurance Agency in the same city for 35 years. Her sister, Miss Margaret, was secretary to the late Dr. Highsmith, Sr., of the Highsmith Hospital in Fayetteville, for many years. Their determination to build an other permanent home at Long Beach appears to be a feeling that is shared by all who ever lived there. Monday a represent ative of this paper was shown a letter written by a resident of South Carolina who lost his home. The letter contained a request that the addresses negotiate the purchase of three lots adjoining the home that the wrier had lost. Ruarks Return To Southport Home Robert Ruark's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Ruark, Sr., are looking for him and Mrs. Ruark to arrive in Southport from Spain about the 15t.h of November. The length of their stay here is inde finite at the moment. The elder Mr. and Mrs. Ruark have recently moved here to the home formerly owned by Mrs. Ruark’s parents, Captain and Mrs. Hawley Atkins. After it had passed into other hands the younger Robert purchased it a number of years ago. The young er couple have been living in Spain for the past two years, since they became disguested with the New York City rush and Bob resigned as columnist for Scripps Howard newspapers. Storm Gave Assist To New Pavilion Work will start in a few days on building the new pavilion at Long Beach. The building will be two stories, which will afford double the old space. If a con tractor can be secured immed iately it will be ready the first of the year. The old building was recently purchased by someone whose name is not available at the mo ment. He was engaged in tearing down the old building when the storm came along and made an assist by sweeping the lot bare of all of the old lumber. Minute quantities of gold are found in some coal deposits. Encouraged By Folks Contacted Wilmington Men Find Much Determination To Rebuild Beach Resorts In Bruns wick Making a prelimary Survey of the Brunswick County Beaches Saturday in company of Edgar Holden of Masonboro and Holden Beach, Major John Bright Hill and his companion ended up here and were interviewed by a rep resentative of this paper. “I feel sure your beaches will have plenty of help forth coming,” said Major Hill, adding, ‘‘I will be glad to assist in getting help in all ways that I can.” Apparently one of the troubles of the moment is that none of the areas most affected except Southport are incorporated. This, it is hoped, will be ironed out quickly. The beach strands, while not incorporated, are none-the less wide open to use by the pub lic. They may be described as public playgrounds, used by thou sands. Newspapers on all sides have credited Brunswick with having borne the brunt of the storm damage. Both State and National governments are at work to find ways and means of doing some thing here. Mr. Holden, with Major Hill, had double-trouble in the storm. As one of the owners of Holden he had several homes destroyed there and on top of this his place at Masonboro, where he resided, suffered eight thousand dollars damage. New Picking House Aids All Shrimpers The efforts of one man, Dallas Pig-ott, has made it possible for shrimp fishing to go forward, un interruptedly since the storm. With every picking house on the waterfront destroyed, Pigott had carpenters at work Sunday mor ning on the foundations and floor ing for a new house that would provide 24000 square feet of floor space. By Monday afternoon when half a dozen shrimp boats came in with catches enough of the floor ing was down to work on and the job of building the house has continued ahead of the increasing number of boats and volume of I catches. Pigott has not been confining i the use of the house to his own I boats. He invited every shrimp producer in Southport and from anywhere around to make use of the house and they are doing so. Baptist Assembly Only Slightly Hurt Very little has been received in the way of reports of storm damage at Fort Caswell. In fact, it appears that the Baptist Sea side Assembly go off very lightly ' in the storm. What little damage \ was done is being repaired in short order. There, as at other places on the Brunswick coast, the expectations ! seem to be that they will have ; more people next year than they i had this past summer. RECEIVES HONORS Cadet John D. Sanders, son of Mr. M. R. Sanders, Southport, has been placed on the Eagle Roll list for academic achievement for the two weeks grade period ending October 15. In order to receive ; this recognition, a cadet must not receive a grade lower than “B". ! Cadet Sanders is a member of ! the sophomore glass and he is now attending Georgia Military Academy for the first year. -- LOCAL RESIDENTS Two regular residents of South ! port for a year handled things for the Diamond Construction Com pany when it’s big floating crane | was lifting big shrimp boats back ! into the water. Captain Dan ! Strickland was in direct command of the crane and its crew. Cap : tain Cleland, boss of all the Dia mond’s equipment at Sunny Point, also took an active part. Malaria kills about 750,000 peo ple in India every year.

State Prison labor moved in from the camp at Shallotte yes terday and began assisting with the loading of trucks with rubbish piled lip on the streets and road ways as much as a block and a half from the waterfront. The town with some extra labor has been carrying on at this work Since the storm but the employees had to work all over town and little headway was made near the waterfront until the State High way sent in labor yesterday. Most of the heavier stuff, such as boats, iceboxes, cars, etc., were removed by Sunny Point contrac tor’s who worked with their equip ment without a cent of pay and just to help the Southport folks.

He said it was the largest build ing he had ever been in. He said the slogan of Brunswick Member ship, “Owned by those it serves,” is what makes the organisation so great.
