denee of the late J. E. Carr
Southport and will move here
September when the present (

In an interview Monday T<
rence, a former Public Utiliti
man, stated he first came
Long Beach with Mrs. Torrent
an employee of the Illinois B
Telephone Company, in Octob'
1953.
They enjoyed their vacation
the C. C. Carr home so much th
he purchased a building lot frc
Phil King of Long Beach. In C
tober of last year they came aga
with plans to build a home at t
beach. They had only been at t
beach two days when the stoi
struck and they got away wi
nothing but their car and t
clothes they had on at the time
and there was not much of ss
clothes on at the time in t
morning when they had to mo
out.
Unfazed by the storm and tl
loss of their clothes, they ma
aged to get a room at the Fran
lin Park Court for two weel
Torrence occupied himself most
by going fishing with Geor
Wortham.
Before they left to return
Illinois they subscribed to this p

fishing, see their new home ai
the friends they made here <
their two previous trips. “In Se
tember,” as Torrence puts it, “v
will be back here with the wo
derful people of Southport
spend the rest of our days.”
Oh, yes. Even though they d
buy a home here, Mr. and Mi
Torrence still plan to build
summer home at Long Beach. I

Folks Interested In Replac
li: ing Central Water System
i At Long Beach Favor Use
|| Of Composition Material
ft With a new water system a
[vital necessity at Long Beach, a
iftroup of upstate property owners
here extremely interested jn the
rasbcstos-cement type of water
'{plains.
During the past week probably
60 upstate property owners have
■visited Sunny Point, one of their
big objectives being to inspect
Shis type of water pipe. They are
being laid at Sunny Point by the
R. E. Brewer Company of Win
pton-Salem.
Information is that 20 years
J.go this type of water main was
laid at Fort Bragg. Recent in
pection has revealed them as be
ng as perfect as tire day they
kere put underground. They will
ot leak, rust or corrode and are
s tough as steel.
The means by which to get
water mains at Long Beach has
not yet been decided upon, but
the folks who saw how quickly
the old mains rusted in the salt
sands at Dong Beach are convinc
ed that the asbetos-cement type
of pipe is the solution to theii
problem, insofar as being what
they need is concerned.
