Last Friday night our boys
rnme home with a victory they
have long been awaiting. After an
over-time and a veSy exciting
game the Dolphins won with a
62 to 60 scare over Leland. The
girls were less fortunate when
they lost by a rather large mar
gin. Judy Young led the girls
with 28 points. Friday night we
are host to .Atkinson. This will be
our last game until the tourna
ment, which begins next Wednes
day. As most of you probably
know, work has been started on
the gym in order to make it moi'e!
convenient for the tournament.

welcome our visitors and by all
means let’s respect the referees.
, Last Monday morning during
2nd period a aptitude test was
given to grad els 7 through 12. The
test lasted about 35 or 40 minutes
and most everyone seemed to have
the feeling they aid o. k. The seh
lors are especially interested in
knowing just what their I. Q. is,
as some of us have a feeing it
could be very lew.

Community
By MBS. CHAS. H. GRAY
Friends of Elwood Caisoii Will
regret to hear he is confined to
hia bed from a fall that fractured
a vertebra in his spinal column,
when the scaffold oh Which he
was standing- collapsed. He will
have to remain in held for several
months before a brace can be
fitted to his back. The people in
this community and elsewhere are
dong all that they can to help
this family in their distress. The
family wishes to express their
gratitude for ail of the aid they
have received, and will receive,
during the illness of their hus
band and father.
On Sunlday afternoons members
of Sharon Methodist Church go
to the aged, sick and afflicted
in the community that are unable
to alt tend services in the church.
These services are conducted by
there pastor, the Rev. Mr. King,
or members of the official board.
Other demonina. lions are invited
to attend. The next prayer meet
ing of this kind will be held in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley
Hewett of Boons Neck.
The quartet of Sharon Metho
dist church gives the congregation
a treat each Sunday with their
specials. The young men singing
-in this quartet are James Elliot,
Darrel Davis, Chad and Kenneth
Phelps. Mrs. Kenndth Phelps is
the pianist. They are being train
ed by John Herbert Holden. The
church is grateful, to Mr. Holden
for the time, talent and energy
he is spending with the youth of
this church. The M. Y. F. adult
counselors of this youth program
are Mr. and Mrs. Carvin Roach.
We have a very interesting com
munity known as Silver Hill, so
named by R. p. Robinson, Jr.,
When Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Robin
son, Sr., went into business at
this crossroad several years ago,
R. P. heard his step-mother make
a Remark “that where ever she
went in business, a town would
build around her”. So R. P., Jr.,
being quick to think, decided’ that
Silver Hill would be the right
appellation. In Silver Hill vve have
two grocery stores, owned and
operated by Mr. and Mrs. J. e.
Tindall and Mr. and Mrs. Willie
Griffith, and a service station
operated by Mrs. Waldo Hewett.
Sharon Methodist church is also
located here. There are about 50
homes in this section called Silver
Hill. Mrs. R. P. Robinson prophesv
came true.
Mr. anld Mrs. Charlie Caison (are
spending some time in Florida.
They will start building a neiv
home in the spring. Mrs. Caison
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Roney Vamum.
Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Phelps spent
Monday in Southport attending to
some business and for medical
attention.
We are sorry to hear that L. S.
Holden is not feeling so well. We
wish for him a speedy recovery
*o that he may enjoy the summer
that is ahead.
In the local stores where men
and women visit to talk over the
past, present and future, we hear
gardening- as the chief topic of
conservation now, so we know
that spring is here. When spring i
here, summer is not far behind:
Then Holden Beach will become
alive with people yearning to
patclr the first fish of the season.
All up and down the fishing docks
you will heard “I have had a
hlte”. Then you will feel a fish
hit to your bait. What a thrill
you will think you have a whale!
Little by little you will start reel
ing in anld by the time you get
the fish safely landed 'it has
shrunk in size until you can hard
ly find it. The fun of fishing is
not the fish that bite, but the
ones you are expecting to bite.
Fishing is great expectations!
May we say this about our be
loved city of Southport ? We
think ait lasft Southport is wide
aw'ake--ahve to its great possi
bilities! For years it slept peace
fully, with never a “snore to
arouse itis complacency. Almost
overnight new business sprang up,
modem stores were built with
every modem convenience. The
residents of the city really gave
the sleepy town of Southport a
face lifting. To me it is a beauti
ful place. I like to sit and watch
the Vierw of the Cape Fear. In my
imagination I can see those ships,
with their sails spread readv and
waiting to start their voyage on
the high seas with only a small
compass, sun, moon and atars to
guide them in their adventure.
Some of those tars would never
reach their destination. How they
muat have loved to have salt
spray to beat on their faces and
the scent of the ocean in their
nostrils! This part of Southport
will never need rejuvenating, for
this view was put there bv the
Great Artist.

Fertilizing Now
Best For Grains
A tested formula for small
grain production is a good stand
plus nitrogen whieh equal a good
crop of harvested grain.
Nitrogen ‘increases yields toy
promoting large numbers of heads
per unit area, more kernels per
head, and increased average
weight per kernel.
Small tiller buds are present
around the crown of small grain
plants. These buds will grow only
if sufficient nitrogen is furnished
for that plant. Each of these new
tillers, or stems will produce an
additional seed head.
In addition, adequate amounts
of nitrogen also encourages rapid
growth of plant stems and leaves.
These healthy green leaves com
bine light, water and carbon
dioxide into plant food. So, suffi
cient amounts to nitrbgen aids
this plant to make extra kernels
per head and increased weight
per kernel.
Quality of grain is also improv
ed toy nitrogen fertilization. A
little extra nitrogen will often
hold a stand of small grain
against attack from certain in
sects or parasites.
A little extra nitrogen is very
effective against plant lice, which
are a problem in some areas. Con
tact the fertilizer dealer now and
arrange fop convenient delivery of
nitrogen in plenty of titne for
applying in February.
