The Dope By LOLA MAE GORE “Sometime, when I'm all alone, feeling so blue,” and that is the finest yet!! I don't think there is one person who doesn’t agree with me when I stress this hit by Danny and the Juniors. As you know, their biggest hit—which has been number one for 3 weeks—is on the flip side and is called “At The Hop.” I think now most of us are turning our ear to Little Richard again as it seems he has another big one, “Good Golly, Miss Molly.” If you aren't one of the more fortunate who have heard it be sure to listen to Randy’s and Ernie’s on W. L. A. C. and I'm sure you won’t miss it. You know. I have noticed some of us are turning back to some of the old songs that were hits last summer and last year. I will agree with you they are still just as popular with me as they were then For instance "I'm In the Mood For Love,” by Fats; “Long, Lonely Mights”; "F. irk and Roll Music”; 'T am.” by Toney Ben nett: "Loving You”; “Short Fat Fanny”; ‘'That’ll Be The Day”; “Diana”; “My One Sin"; “The Joker”; “My Special Angel”; ”JL2th of Never”.and many more. Ther’s one thing for sure, they bring back an awful lot of memories for us ail, some good and I’m sure some bad. Well, we're all still looking forward to this summer when we can get out in the wide open spaces and really live it up, and I’m sure that’s just what we intend to do!!! Maybe we won't have the pavilon, but we can blast just as much at Yaupon and maybe more!!! Well. I think all you week-end birds had a rather fair time. Let’s change that and say a great .time jpecau.se you sure looked like it. After the game at Bolivia Friday night we all came straight home, as Handy’s was waiting for us and we just had to shake a leg before the night was over after we had gained tA'o victories! Sat urday night most of the boys team went to Leland to see them play Shallotte, and they got back home aboiit 10:30 o’clock. The party was getting into high gear, and after W’e made our rounds in town we headed for Yaupon. Be tween Cynthia and Sag the juke box -was continuously playing. Never-the-less it w’orked and we all really had a swell time. I guess by now everyone knows of the new management of Randy’s. The Grants have turned it over to Mrs. Russel St. George and Mrs. A. M. Shirey. At this point I would like 'to thank the Giants on behalf of every one of the teenagers and students of Southport High School for being such wonderful hosts. We really enjoyed their company and I’m sure we are all planning on giving the new management our full co operation. Later on they will be installing a grill, and hot lunch es and sandwiches will be served. There will be no dancing on Sun days. After the grill has been in stalled there will be no dancing until after 6. I think we will all agree that we will like this bet ter and let’s keep up the good work and help them make it a fine place not only for us .but for the public in general; Saturday flight before we all went over to Yaupon Kay, Ann ette H., Sharron, Barbara, Ella Mae, Cynthia, Mangum and my Animal Health Needs HOG CHOLERA SERUM and VACCINE.

C. self decided we wanted to sere nade everyone so we piled in the car and rode around singing some of the newest hits such as: "Sen timental Journey,” "You'll Never Walk Alone", .‘‘Around the World,” "Simple Melody" and "Pretend You Don't' See Her." Well I agree it could have been much better, but what can you expect from a crazy bunch like that? I have a, brain storm. Let’s all get together and go to "Red's” skating rink in Wilmington on 9 South Second St. It’s a new build ing and I have heard right mary of you talking about hovv much you would like to try and see if you can still stand up on them. I think its a good idea, don’t you? Seriously, let's make a date, and I’m sure we wouldn’t have any trouble getting the transportation. And that’s it for this wonder ful week !! Sure hope you enjoy ed looking and peering in. Sure do apperciate all the compliments I have been receiving on my columns. See ya next week, same time, same paper, and I'll also see you in class—“Oh, woe". Birds Abounding At Ocean Refuge RODANTHE—Pea Island na tional wildlife refuge here on Hatteras island is one of the im portant way stations along the Atlantic flyway of migratory wild fowl. It is a paradise for the ornithologist or birdwatcher who is interested in seeing a variety of waterfowl. Most noticeable of the wildfowl, and after the hunting season they beoome almost a gentle as barn yard fowl, are the Canada wild geese. Approximately 7,500 geese use the refuge during January and that number varies up or down from week to week until this species migrates to northern breeding grounds in March. Some stragglers, mostly unmated fowl, remain most of the spring. The refuge is bounded on the east by the Atlantic ocean and the west by Pamlico sound and it extends from Oregon inlet southward to this “Old Christ mas” village - on upper north sec tion of Hatteras island. Pea Island is easily accessible by automobiles via the all-paved Nags Head to Hatteras highway. The toll-free and state-operated ferry at Oregon inlet operates on 30 minute schedules during day light hours. In addition to the Snow and Canada geese, there are a few blue geese seen on the refuge each year and also swan. About 20 varieties of ducks also make the refuge their resting place during winter months. While the fowl can be seen L Uinta whole room by myself?

Mem Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation was organized an ■ chartered in 1939. Its first car; struction project,; involving 29 miles of line to serve 960 peo^i in Brunswick and Columbus Coi*; ties was completed in 1940. 1* first project was financed by ' i REA loan of $251,000. The Cooperative has stead expanded its system until it n has 1,956 miles of line and c tributes electricity to 9,024 me t ber-owners in the rural secti< l! of Brunswick, Columbus, Robe; and Bladen Counties. Total REA loans through li amounted to $4,851,000. The ( operative has repaid $629,000 the principal of these loans, eluding $203,000 ahead of sc dule, and has paid REA $165,' in interest. Brunswick Electric’s me mb through payment of members fees and by returning their n gins to the Cooperative’s cap account, have thus far iiivei $487,000 of their own m<|iey tjie business. The members have condUuoi^ljT increased their use of \le<#rii power. Average consumption it 1939 was only 40 kilowatt-io-un per month, which cost the rim bers $3.05, or nearly 8c per sVVfl per month, which cost the iem her S7.50, or some 3c per i l.VH Thus, while Brunswick’s , iiero bers have increased their >>wei use nearly six-fold they ha1 * re duced their per-KWH cost r Iwrlj three-fold. Brunswick’s members | read their own electric meters, sei.dinj the meter readings in to thjr Co operative's headquarters in fShal lotte every month. The Coopera tive estimates that this pra- lice, without which three additional employees and trucks would be required, saves Brunswick Elf trie and its members some $30,000 every year. The Cooperative employs IS persons, who earned a payroll in 1956 of $165,000. These employees have accumulated an average of six years service with the Cooper Brunswick tership Corp. ative. Brunswick Electric thus has a total of 288 man-years of ex perience performing its opera tions. An eleven-member Board of Directors directs the Coopera tive’s affairs. This Board, elected f ervery year by and from the ! members at their meeting, is j composed of the following men, whose addresses and years of di-; rector service are also given: Fred Lay, Rt. 3, Tabor City, ! 19 years; C. D Branch, Ever green, 13 years; W. A. Mintz, Freeland, 13 years; A. P. Henry, Sr., Winnabow, 11 years; Dennis Anderson, Cerro Gordo, 8 years; M. M. Ray, Nakina, 4 years; T. D. Lindsey, Shallotte, 4 years; L. C. Batten, Rt. 2, Whiteville, 3 years; J. B. Ward, Jr., Long wood, 3 years; H. D. White, Jr., Chadbourn, 3 years; and Roy Swain, Bolivia, 1 year. C. D. Branch serves the Co operative as President; Dennis Anderson as Vice President; T. D. Lindsey serves as Secretary Treasurer; and A. P. Henry, Sr., Serves as Assistant Secretary- ; Treasurer. E. D. Bishop, of Shal- i i lotte, has been the Cooperative’s ; general manager for over 18 years Since its organization in 1939. Brunswick Electric has had one main objective: To provide good, dependable electric service to everyone in its service area—at rates consistent with sound busi ness principles and non-profit operation. As its motto says, Brunswick Electric Membership Cooperation is “owned by those it serves.” But in a larger, more important sense, Brunswick Electric belongs to all of tlie people who live in its area. The Cooperative is proud to be an active institution in the sever al communities in which it is lo cally owned, controlled and opera ted. It will continue to partici pate in, and give its full support to, the various activities and pro jects that make these communi ties better places in which to live. Slater Mill Known As Cradle Of US Economic Freedom American industry, like tht country in which it flourishes^ has its own cradle of indepen dence—the Old Slater (textile) Mill. And hanging today in the befl from the adjacent highway, , (without leaving the comfort ot I one’s automobile) an even clos-jjf, I look at the inhabitants of Pr* j island can be had now from pavej I walkways across one of the dykej) overlooking several of the por.ill in the area. There are also Adds tional trails in the area. In addition to wildfowl, numerl ; ous species of shore birds anl I many upland species of songbird* may also be seen in the refuge ower of the Old Slater Mill in ’awtucket, Rhode Island, is in ustry’s own “liberty bell.” For it was 164 years ago in he Old Slater Mill that Ameri an industrial independence was mphatically established by the genius of Samuel Slater. ; The Liberty Bell in the tower of Philadelphia’s Independence Hall pealed out the news of America’s declaration of political independence from England in 1F76. I Just 17 years later, in 1793, e bell in the Old Slater Mill wer sounded the death knell of England's economic domination ofcer the young republic. lAlthough the 13 colonies went -—-— on after 1776 to win their full political independence from Brit ain on the battlefield, it wasn’t until a dozen years after the defeat of Cornwallis at Yorktown that the young nation was ready to proclaim its independence from England on economic grounds. The infant republic’s industry had developed fulteringly. Its textile industry lacked adequate productioh techniques, and Eng land was able to flood the coun try with low-priced textiles. Then the bell in the Gid Slater Mill tower began calling the mill workers to their jobs in the first successful cotton textile opera tion in the United States. It was the beginning of this nation's factory system, with its advantages of mass produced, low-cost products. And it marked the beginning of the end for British economic dominance. In the Old Slater Mill was cradled the beginning of Ameri ca’s industrial revolution, which, hand in hand, with the political revolution, was to make the United States the bastion of in dividual freedom and free enter prise it vis today. The Old Mill, carefully restor ed by the Old Slater Mill Asso ciation -a non-profit group dedi cated to the preservation of the structure—-still stands on its original site overlooking the Blackstone River, just a few steps from Pawtucket’s Roose velt Avenue. Today it is a museum and shrine for this nation’s vast tex tile industry which got its start there. Donald Shepard, the museum curator, said the orig inal old bell still hangs in the mill’s bell tower. Much of the old mill structure, including the center section built in 1793, is little changed in form from the way it existed 164 years ago when Samuel Slater success fully reproduced and operated the Arkwright yarn spinning system for the first time in America. * Slater, as a young apprentice in English textile mills, memorize ed the mechanics of Sir Richard Arkwright’s invention, then de spite British efforts to prevent the secrets of Its textile manu facturing technique from leaking abroad, (he managed to sail for America with the details firmly in his mind. Working from memory and with financial backing of Moses Brown, a Providence, R. I., Qua ker, Slater was able to reproduce^ the Arkwright water-powered spinning System and establish; America’s first practical textile. operation.
