Rail Connection
For All Docks
With Railroad Connected At
Both Ends Of Wharves
At Sunny Point Trains
May Move More Freely
Wharfs Nos. 1 and 2 at Sunny
Point are scheduled to have the
wharf railroad connected at both
ends with the Seholes yard rail
roads by the end of this week, ac
cording- to Engineer Dusty Roads
of the Diamond Construction
Company.
This means that trains will be
able to make the complete circle
around these two docks. Hereto
fore there have been connections
that would allow trains to enter
one end of the docks. In such
cases they had to back up when
leaving.
It may be a little time yet be
fore there are complete road con
nections. permitting entrance of
trucks and cars at either end of
the docks. Folks who drive on
the docks at the present time
have to turn around and leave
the same way they came Turning
around on the big structures is
easy for any kind of a vehicle
•and there is naturally no hurry
to permit folks to go in at one
end and right out at the other.
Ken Stewart, superintendent of
construction for the Diamond
Construction Company, stated yes
teiday that it. will be about a
full month before Dock No. 1
will be completed. No. 2 is al
ready completed except for a few
minor maters and No. 3 will be
the last to be finished, sometime
in September.
Col. Wm. McAleer
Much Traveled Man
Absent ail of last week and
gone again this week, Col. William
A. McAleer of SPAALT remark
ed on his return from last week’s
trip that the looking after serv-1
ice cargoes at all deep water
ports on the Atlantic Coast from
Norfolk to Miami was no easy
job. Even when things get com
pletely organized it will still be
trying.
Din ing his absence things here '
are in charge of Lt. Colonel Greg
McLeod and other officers. Col. !
McAleer remarked Saturday that
they still hope to have open
bouse with guided tours of the
installation for the public early
in September. However, it is still J
too early to do any definite plan- ■
ning for this event, especially
with the officers having their
hands full of other things.
During the spring training seas
on, National League teams will
play in 23 states and the District
of Columbia.
Chickens Need
Space To Grow
If young chickens are to grow,
it is absolutely essential that they
have plenty of feeding, drinking
and floor space, according to
Charles D. Raper, County Agent.
A young chick weighing two
ounces when it is hatched in
creases its size 24 times in grow
ing up to three pounds in weight
If it is to gain weight and grow
like it is expected to, it must
eat and drink very often dining
the course of a day and the poul
tryman must furnish the facilities
for it to have access to feed,
water and space. Also feeders and
water fountains must be placed as
conveniently as possible.
“Too often the poultryman is
lax in increasing the amount of
feeding and watering space to
meet the needs of the growing
birds. This leads to retarded
growth, dehydration of tissues and
low vitality,” Raper said.
Accepted standards for feeding
space under Columbus County
conditions is 100 inches of feed
ing space per 100 chicks during
the first three weeks; from the
third week through the 10th
week, 300 inches of space per
100 birds. For drinking space,
provide two one-gallon waterers
per 100 chicks for the first three
i\ Search
weeks, and after that time, two
three-gallon waterers (or its
equivalent) per 100 birds. It is
best to allow one square foot of
floor space per bird for the first
10 weeks. These are minimum re
quirements and poultrymen should
watch their flock and if more
feeders, watered or space is need
ed they should provide more for
them.
“A great pail of the success of
the enterprise depends on how
well the flock owner manages the
flock (luring the cliick stage. It
is a critical period. Assuming that
good quality chicks are started,
the problem of maintaining their
vitality is very important. High
vitality is very closely related to
disease resistance and mortality
must be kept at a low level if
returns from the project are to
be secured”, Raper pointed out.

1—The Story begins in a milking barn, such as this of
J. R. Powell, Columbus Dairyman, one of the Top local
milk producers for WHITE ICE CREAM & MILK COM
PANY. From his Sanitary barn comes Milk to make
our dairy products.
.
3—ONLY A SHORT TIME LATER, milk is unloaded by WHITE’S workers, carried into the plant, where
first steps are taken in turning out familiar products bearing WHITE’S Label.
2—From POWELL’S BARN the milk is loaded on to Fast refrigerated trucks
and sped to WHITE’S in Wilmington. Every precaution is taken to insure speed
in handling to keep Milk fresh for turning out WHITE’S Superior Dairy Pro
ducts. '■■H
4—IN THE PLANT, Scrupulously clean and sanitary, WHITE’S goes to work,
pasteurizing and homogenizing—-Here, too, some of the Milk is used for making
Ice Cream, (in every flavor imaginable) and other products such as SEALTEST
tasty, creamy Cottage Cheese.
5—BOTTLED AND PACKED, the finished Dairy Products leaves WHITE’S and head again to consumers in Columbus and Brunswick Counties.
