ROVING REPORTER Continued From Page One home. This lack of grumbling is rather remarkable. The two law makers have apparently done what the people asked them to do and the people are satisfied. There may have been some grievances that we did not hear about, but we doubt this. Newspaper men are always the center of the target of being told about it when law makers do or do not do the things that the foks lfeel should be done. B. F. McGlaughlin, New York, manager of the public relations department of the Esso Standard Oil Company, is to be here the 29th and 30th of this month. He is to attend the big show that will be put on by Esso Jerry Ball and Archie Thornhill at the Shal lotte school auditorium on the night of April 29th. Saturday he will go fishing here and before he leaves he wants to see SPAALT < and all about here. The show to . be held at Shallotte is of growing ' interest. Jerry Ball writes us that ' for the show the Esso boys have 1 purchased a beautiful loving cup for the winner of the talent show. He says that it is a beauty. Prin cipal Guy Angell of the Shallotte school is lining up several good additions to what the Esso boys will present. Down for the week end to see how things were coming at Long Beach where they plan to rebuild their summer home, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Agle of Greensboro were accompanied by their nephew, Carl Bennett, and Paul Sikes, both of Boy Scout age. The boys had been hearing about Sunny Point, Mr. and Mrs. Agle had been read ying a lot about it in The Pilot. So Saturday afternoon we had the fun of taking them all on a tour of the place. A long time to go before all work is done, there has been more than enough done to give these and other visitors a good idea that Sunny Point will be a whale of a place. Jimmy Woltz of Long Beach and Southport had never seen the government terminals. Saturday this shortage of knowledge of things locally was done away with. We took him out to see the back of dock No. 1 and then we drove out no No. 2. Since No. 3 dock is identical with Nos. 1 and 2 we detoured from a visit to that structure in favor of seeing some of the railroad yards and things about the administration area. We believe that our tobacco auctioneering friend is now com pletely sold on the bigness of Sunny Point and its future im porttuice to Long- Beach and Southport, not to mention all of the rest of Brunswick. “Willie’s Willis Wagon” arrived here Saturday in good order from a dealer in Whiteville. The purch aser of the vehicle is Col. William A. McAleer, Commanding Officer at SPAALT. Colonel McAleer arrived in Southpore from New York at about noon on March 30. That night he read an advertise ments of the West-Viets Motors, Inc., of Whiteville, appearing in this paper. He needed a fishing wagon for his off-duty hours and he promptly bought a Willys. It was Mrs. McAleer who named the vehicle, not us. We are keep ing strictly on the good side of the colonel. We were about to enter the main road at the classification yard. On our side was a small ridge of earth 8 or 10-inches high. We stopped, not because of the small ridge, but just because three big graders were passing down the off-side of the main road. We wanted to see them work. One of the machines was passing as we reached the place. The operator of the second mach ine evidently felt that we thought we could not get through. He waved his hand, indicating we were to stay put,swung up the blade of his grader, reversed it and swept over to our side of the road. At a single swipe the un offending little ridge disappeared. Machine and operator were back at their work in less than a min ute and a half. The operator of the car was a Congressman, but the E. B. Towles Company grader opertor did not know that. He thought it was just us. While waiting for the start of their duties of training' the civ ilian guards that will be employed at Sunny Point, Capatin Maurice Ivory's New York Port of Em barkation Military Police have been doing some policing pf the Fort Johnston grounds and the building. That is, they are seeing that the place is being cared for and made attractive. Incidently, Southport people continue to tell us that these Military Police and the officers are of a very high type. They have to be for the jobs they have. Some days these trips of ours to Sunny Point are a continuous affair. When we get back from taking one porty around there will be another awaiting for us. There is no charge whatever for taking people over the installat ion. In fact, we get a lot of satisfaction out of them. The rea son for this is simple. During the infant years of planning and con struction at the terminals we were called a liar so often that it now affords us unlimited satisfaction to take everybody, including those who cussed us out, and show them. Following the storm Mr. and Mrs. Ft. M. Taylor of Greensboro went a looking for their two-story home at Long Beach. There was no nice two-story homes any where across Davis Creek, where most of the homes went. Recently they looked again and with better luck. They found a one story house, practically intact and it used to form the upper story of their Long Beach home. They are planning to ferry it back or haul it on a trailer to where it for merly was. Mrs. Taylor was tell ing us this week that she had been physically sick and was still sicker at the idea of not being able to spend the usual five or six months at the beach this year. We suspect our good friend, her husband will get a move on himself moving that half of a two story house back to where the two-story house stood. While no official confirmation has ever been given or even sought, there has been a lot of information picked up from va rious sources that leads to the definite conclusion that Sunny Point will grow into proportions that very few of our people can visualize. A mighty big thing is being placed in our laps, from the City of New York. With it will come a lot of other things. One thing that is inevitable is that Southport will shortly find itself a boom town. Whatever comes, we shall personally be sat isfied with both the good and bad that will be a part of it. The U. S. Government told us years ago that they needed what the South port area has. Without in anyway bragging, we can say we were one of the very first men to advocate a fish ing pier at Long Beach. Not only were we the first, we have kept everlastingly at it. Now that they are building a costly structure at Yaupon Village on the Long Beach strand, a companion asked us the other day if we would not come in for some cussing if the pier does not prove popular and a good place for fishing. We have n’t any fear of that. The fish will find the pier just as fast as the sportsmen do. We believe that this first fishing pier on the ocean in Brunswick county will be so popu lar this year that two or three others will be constructed before next spring. We have known for about a year that there was a Keziah Street at Yaupon Village, but we had no idea where it was at until last week when G. V. Barbee took us around and showed us our namesake. It is just a block east of the fishing pier or two blocks east of the Yaupon Village cen AT SUBURBAN RULANE ONLY all new aluminum ware free with your exciting new Hardwick gas range Open up your orms for a free gift of a kitchen full of brand new Wearever alum inum.

Farmers Under Social Security N. A. Avera, district manager of the Wilmington area stated that Old-Age and Survivors In surance has been extended to cov er Farm Owners under the new amendments to the Social Security j Law. All farm operators, begin ning January 1, 1955, who have net earnings of as much as $400 in a year will have this new pro tection. Old-age and death have always created additional hardships for family units. These hardships can now be eased because of this old-age and survivors insurance protection. Cash income has be come more and more important to farm families because the more j advanced and technical methods ! jpniipj to farm operations today Require a greater investment in equipment feed, seed, fertilizer; and soil conservation practices. j Avera says that the system works in this manner. Self-em- | ployed fai’m operators contribute to a fund while they are working through the years, and then, at retirement, the farm operator draws monthly retirement bene fits for the rest of his life. In j case of his death before the re- ! tirement age of 65, payments will be made to his widow and to his 1 children while they are under 18 years of age. These retirement payments can run as high as $108.50 a month for the farm owner, and up to $200 a month as survivor benefits for his fam- j ily If you are a self-employed farm operator and expect to have net earnings of $400.00 or more in a year, you should get a social security card. Remember, said Avera, "if you are a self-employed farm operator, get your social security number assigned. Keep good orderly rec ords of all income and expense in 1955. Contact your Social Se curity office if you have any further questions at Wilmington, or you may meet a representative of the Wiimington office here in Whiteville on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Monday of each month, in the basement of the Post Office from 1:30 to 3:30 p. m."
