Florida People Impressed Here Former Residents Of Long Beach Think Southport And Surrounding Area Headed For Big Develop ment Residents of Deland, Fla. ,for the past several years, Mr. and Mrs. Watson Wallace have been spending Several days here with Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Tomlinson and children and Mis* Joyce Wallace. Mrs. Tomlinson and Miss are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace. The family formerly lived at Long Beach and still have proper ty there. Mr. Wallace now has business interests in Florida but the family is far from having lost interest in Long Beach and s'” 'Southport. In an interview with him this week he was found to be en thuasistic with regard to the po tential development of the Bruns wick county beaches. He was especially intrigued with the busi ness opportunities now develop ing in Southport and the immed !iate area. The town, he says, is set to undergo the most extra oittSHW,' gVOwth and development. From his remarks, it does not appear that it will be surprising if the family returns to Southport soon and Mr. Wallace makes busi ness investments here. The visitor pointed to the gov ernment terminal at Sunny Point as the beginning of the develop ment of State and National re sources that state polities has been fighting against for years. “One big thing,” he said, “will start other big things. From now on things will snowball in growth of the town and business develop ment. The folks looking at South port today Mill hardly know Southport one year from now.

ESTES KEFAITVEK YDC To Hear Kefauver Talk ■ RALEIGH—Current problems, with special emphasis on the ■ plight of the small farmer and businessman, are expected to oc cupy the attention of Tennessee's Senator Estes Kefauver, when he speaks at the Statewide Rally of Young Democrats here this Fri day. A top contender for the Demo cratic presidential nomination in 1952, Senator Kefauver comes to Raleigh under sponsorship of the YDC, and is the first of several contenders for the 1956 nomina tion who will be presented under such auspices in the course of the year. It is expected, according to Wake County YDC President Sam Johnson, that Adlai E. Stevenson and W. Averell Harriman will also speak in Raleigh to similar Statewide Rallies later on. Plans are b,eing made for more than 3,000 people to attend Fri day's rally in Memorial Audito rium at 8 p. m., immediately prior to which time there will be a banquet in honor of Senator Kefauver at the Sir Walter Hotel. The speech at the auditorium will be open to the public. Nationally known for more than 10 years, Senator Kefauver in 1951-52 occupied more than usual prominence for his work as head of the Congressional com mittee investigating organized crime, whose proceedings were frequently televised at that time. Making a spirited bid for the Democratic presidential nomina tion in the 1952 convention at Chicago, Senator Kefauver led on the first ballot, but later lost to Adlai E. Stvenson of Illinois.
