MEET THE FOLKS At Sunny Point (By LT. COL. Wm. F. MURPHY) jgjgL M * Whgm WILLIAM R. MOL'RING t -fift-Ji1 .installation as large . and |s fmwjtoint, f! ecessary to establish and main tain an efficient communications System. To do this, personnel must be placed on the payroll Jvho are capable of maintaining the installed equipment in the proper working condition. This is py way of introducing William ft. Mouring, radio repairman and installation supervisor at Sunny Point. Mr. Mouring was born in Balti more, Maryland, and moved to Wilmington, where he attended j New Hanover High School and then moved on to Baltimore Poly technic Institute in Baltimore. He has always been interested in things electrical and is an ama jtuer radio enthusiast, his call let- ! ters in Wilmington being W40QS. j In past years he has also acquired a hobby for building model boats. Through Mr. Mouring’s efforts in the Communications Division, SPAT has enjoyed a long period with no major radio failures. In addition, certain systems have been set up with our neighbors, communications wise, that makes it possible for SPAT to be tied into all means of communication that in any way affect operations at Sunny Point. Mr. Mouring is married and re sides in Wilmington. He has three children, Mrs. Jane McCall now living in Honolulu, T. H. I., a son, John Mouring, presently sta tioned at Bunker Hill Air Fohde Base, Peru, Indiana, and Barbaras Ann Mouring of Wilmington who as attending New Hanover High School. VISIT IN NEW BERN Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Fain spent Wednesday through Sunday at New Bern. Mr. Fain is with the SPAT administrative forces. REX E. HAMM ACK Another member of our fine Sighting team is Rex L. Ham mack. Rex is a Texan, calling Hamilton, Texas, his place of birth. He attended local schools in Ireland, Texas, and the Veter ans Vocational School in Hamil ton, Texas, and Irvington, Ala bama. During World War II. Rex saw service from 1943 through 1945; in addition to this, he can look back on a three year hitch in Uncle Sam’s Navy prior to World War II. These tours of duty took him into European areas and short tours of duty in the Pacific. At present, Rex is living in Supply with his family. He is married to the former Ernestine Rebecca Tippie of Hamilton, Texas, and they are the parents of eleven children, seven boys and four girls. Rex lists his hobbies as hunting and fishing. His present location at Sunny Point with residence in Supply affords him ample op portunity to pursue the hobbies listed above. RETURN FROM VACATION Mr. and Mrs. Robert Willis and son, Charles, have returned from their 3 week’s vacation and Mr. Willis has resumed his duties as pharmacist at Watson’s Phar macy. George W. Smith, who has been relieving him, has returned to his home at Fayetteville. ICE CRUSHER IS Continued From Page One As shrimp or fish are loaded a layer of ice is placed on the bottom of the hold in which they are to be received. The., comes a layer of the fish or shrimp and another layer of crushes ice is placed to cover the catch. The layers alternate until the hold is filled. Filling another hold is then Bridge To Increase Ocean Isle Beach’s Popularity News that a bridge connection between the mainland and Ocean Isle Beach in nearby Brunswick County will be established in the future has brought much satis faction to residents of this area. Not only do many persons in WhitevUle and Columbus County own homes or homesites at Ocean Isle, but it is also the nearest beach to this area. The Brunswick beach is located only about 40 miles from Whiteville. One of the few drawbacks to the pretty Brunswick strand has been the fact that travel to and from it was somewhat limited be cause a state-operated ferry was the only mode connecting it with the mainland. With the coming of the bridge, this bottle-neck will be eliminated and popularity of OI is expected to become un limited. 1 C. Heide Trask, Third District i Commissioner for the State High way and Public Works Commis sion, said Wednesday that plans were underway for moving the bridge presently located at Har bor Island, in New Hanover Coun- | ty, to Ocean Isle. A new four-lane bridge is be ing built at the Harbor Island spot. Trask said that current plans of the SH&PWC called for con st:uction of foundations anti ap proaches to the old bridge at Ocean Isle. When the new Harbor Island structure replaces the old one, the latter will be taken down j the Intracoastal Waterway on barges to the Brunswick beach: site. It will probably be the Summer I of 1957 before the Ocean Isle J bridge is available for use, ac- | cording to highway reports. started. Up to the present time whole blocks of ice had to be placed on the boats and the only method of putting it into use was to chop it up with ice axes. The crusher that reposits the crushed ice in the holds without waste of any sort saves both ice and much labor and time. Pigott, who is far-sighted in his fishing operations, stated this week that such a machine had been needed here for a long time, both for his own boats and others. Right now shrimp production is a little better at Georgetown, S. C., than here. Pigott is load ing his own boats with the crush ed ice and sending them to Georgetown. There the boats fish for 4 or 5 days and then return with their catches to the Pigott house here, where the catches are packed for shipment. With an abundance of ice in the very best condition, the boats naturally have a much wider range of op eration. HALF-DAY SESSION Continued Prom Page One McKinley Horne, public drunk ness on highway, fined $25 and costs. Grover Robinson, drunk driving and possession, fined S110 and costs. Benjamin Rudolph Hardey, speeding, fined $10 and costs. Cornell Stanley, speeding, fined $15 and costs. George L. Mikel, speeding, fined $10 and costs. Archie Robinson, larceny, not guilty. In this case Curtis Long had charged Robinson with steal ing his redbone hound dog. In his own defense Archie produced two I redbone hounds in court and ask ed Curtis to identify which one of them was his. Spectators got a laugh over the situation as Curtis was unable to say which was his dog. PATROLMAN DEAL Continued From v'age One speed in excess of 75-miles per hour, crossed the Eagle Island causeway and on into New Han- ! over county. At the east end of the North-East River bridge the fleeing car ran into a Fold oc cupied by a Huntersville man, his wife and daughter. No one was hurt in either car but both machines were damaged $250 each. The driver of the car that Patrolman Deal was persuing jumped and ran, with Deal catch ing up with his man on a railroad track under a bridge. The car had 33-gallons of non-tax paid whiskey and the driver will face charges in New Hanover county j on August 30. The charges there are transporting, reckless driving, accident, hit and run, speeding in excess of 75-mph. He is also j charged with failing to stop for- j red light and siren on the patrol 1 car. Sheriff Elbert H. Gray was with the patrolman on this chase. BRUNSWICK SCHOOLS Continued From Page One Gertrude Loughlin, Tancel Marion Lee, Mary Lee Norment and Blanche E. Webb.
