The dis astrous Green Swamp fire, he said, claimed some animals, but from what can be observed, the loss was not too great. In announcing the hunting sea sons and limits, Bowmer asked that hunters in this area continue theii care in shooting. “Be sure you know what you're shooting at. Be sure you see it. Be sure it isn’t another hunter,” he asked. “We haven’t had a hunting accident in three or four years now, and we can keep the record clean this year if we ll be careful.’’ Brief Bits Of •-NEWS-1 K A LEIGH TRIP The Rev.

During the remainder of the week a modi fied schedule will be observed, but beginning Monday, September 11, school will begin at 8:30 o clock and will close at 3 o’clock. Only one faculty vacancy exists, and that is French and English in the high school. Webb is particularly anxious to enroll every student possible the first day of school, as there are prospects for gaining additional ieachers upon the basis of av erage daily attendance for the first 10 days.

Southport Clubs Help With Show Two Garden Clubs And Two Individuals Become Subscribers, Of Sponsors, To Annual Event In South port, England I I Southport, England, last week I held its annual summer Flower ] Show, and as a gesture of inter j national friendship Southport, | North Carolina, U. S. A. had a part in it. Southport, N. C.’s, participation came about through the friendship of Mrs. Hubert Livingston, the wife of a former mayor, and Mrs. Mae Bamber, councilwoman from Southport England, who visited here in the fall of 1950. The two; ladies have been corresponding j since that time, and when Mrs. Bamber wrote not long ago that t her town was preparing for their j show Mrs. Livingston and Mrs. F. M. Burdette decided to help with the show by becoming over seas subscribers. Mrs. Livingston and Mrs. Bur dette and the two garden clubs of Southport, the Southport Garden Club and the Live Oak Garden flub, each sent the equivalent of! »ne pound and one shilling for' Subscriber s Badges. Since none of ' i he local ladies plan to attend j; he show their badges are to be 1 jiven to disabled veterans in 1 Southport, England, so that they j I nay attend free of charge. I \ £ rom newspaper clippings it 11 ppears that the flower show in t he English seaport is a big thing, c n addition to flower exhibitions r here are horse jumping and trot-It ig events and other attractions t <’hich are viewed from a grand- , t tand.

He will try to borrow equipment for use in sev eral communities in the county while the citizens consider plans for purchasing their own ma chines. The fogging machines have been proved as an effective means for combatting mosquitoes, but it is mportant that operations be car icd out under the best possible veather conditions. The effective- I less depends upon the fog, and ' lot upon any residual effect. The order for the machine for ’Oiithport was placed with the inderstanding that immediate de- j ‘very is possible, and it is hoped bat a follow-up program of fog ing can be used to keep down i be mosquito population for the emainder of the fall months.

T. Weeks, man ager of the Stabilization Corpora tion, at a meeting in Whiteville Monday night. But he urged the farmers to have patience, and to maintain a high standard in the preparation of their crop for mar ket. Weeks set at rest rumors that the Stabilization Corporation will down-grade tobacco and declared that there will be no change in the grading as it is now running. He also said that there is no liklihood of a sales holiday. He did say that the short selling schedule will continue until fur ther notice. Weeks urged farmers to ex ercise the greatest possible care in the storage and handling of their tobacco. The fact that the Stabilization Corporation has bought such a high percentage of this year's crop has resulted in over crowding the re-drying 1 facilities of this government agen 1 cy. Since it is expected that the ■ tobacco companies eventually will I purchase every pound of tobacco that has gone to the Stabilization [ Corporation, this tobacco must be ! properly processed.
