Ir SUMMER SNOOPER BY LOLA MAE GORE “Hi-o, Hi-o Silver, Honey Hush!” That round sound sure was. coming in loud and clear Saturday night at the pavilion and I haven't seen so many peo ple present at a dance in quite a while. The band was really getting with it as were these present. We will all have to ad mit we really had the time of our life! For you who were not fortunate enough to be there I would like to say you really miss ed something. I think, as well as many others, that it was the best dance of the season. There were so many kicking and jump ing until it was almost impossi ble to really move, but no one was griping. We were all glad to see the vacationers from all parts, and the regulars, there and we TODD'S Your Credit Good O W N T O w N «o* L D 8 X O R “E” FURNITURE CO. Wilmington, N. C. si S Front St. Ph. BO 3-599H ■ ■- —'I hope to see the same this Satur day night when there will be an other dance, same time and same place. If you haven't been com ing to the pavilion, why not do so this week-end. I'm sure you won’t regret it! Friday night was also a lot of fun. There was a pretty good j crowd present listening and jiv ; ing to the juke box. Although j it rained all week-end. that did n't stop the usual bunch and we all really had a great time. The suggestion for a watermelon slic ing was brought up, but because of lack of coins, it was soon dropped. I noticed that most of the motels were filled all week end and we are very glad to have these visitors and vacationers down. Its always nice to get to know others, especially if you live on the beach. That's a great opportunity we have and I’m glad to see the boys, especially, taking advantage of it. Sunday afternoon it was still raining so that it interferred with the plans of those who were gonna get some sun. I noticed most everyone was riding around or parked at the cedar bench talking over the situation. Sun day night wasn’t too bad, T-Bo and the boys played at the pa vilion and the usual crowd was there. A few of us took in a game of carpet golf, which prov ed to be very interesting, and then headed for the dance. I hope GOT TV TROUBLE ? Our Experts can Repair Your Set so it U ill Be Good as NEW.

And looked pretty sharp . . . The title of Queen of the Live Oak Festival was not the first for Connie Hussey. She was Little Miss Myrtle Beach in 1940 . . . The musical float was a last minute idea conceived, designed, and largely carried out by Dew Hardee, who has a lot of talent . . . The Brunswick County Training School band did a good job, particularly in the absence of its director. This is a first year organization, and it has made splendid progress. It was a good thing that we did have some home talent to bail ns out of the musical bind ... It was nice to have three floats from the Azalea Festival. The Carolina Beach whale attracted much attention. The Azalea Festival float was pretty, and among the beauties aboard was Lou Gilliam Mallison, a Southport girl. Susan Franklin, who was elected Homecoming Queen,last fall, was riding on the White Ice Cream float. The other rider on this float was Latitia Hickman, a former Liveoak Festival Queen.” Kingdom” by Kennolly; “The Portuguese Escape” by Bridge: “A Summer Place” by Wilson: “Admiral Homblowcr In The West Indies” by Forester: The Great Snow” by Robinson: “Ele phant Walk” bv Standish; “The Northern Light” by Cronin.

S. Boyer. U. S. Army, on this fort, pub lished on pages 92-94 of Circular No. 4, War Department. Surgeon General's Office, December 5th, 1870, a report on Barracks and Hospitals, with descriptions of Military Posts, he states: ‘This fort receives its name from Gabriel Johnson, who was Gover nor of the Province of North Carolina from 1734 to 1752. It was erected by the British soon after France declared war against England, in 1744. Since that pe riod it has been garrisoned at irregular intervals.’ * * * “There is no fort built upon the reservation. During the late civil war it came into the possession of the rebels and they construct ed some minor works upon it, which have since been removed by United States troops. “By reference to American State Papers, Military Affairs, Vol. I, pages 95-101, 224, 237, etc., Mr. Sprunt will find infor mation that may be of use to him in relation to the construction by the United States of a new work on the site of the old fort, finish ed about the year of 1809, etc. The new work consisted of a sim ple equalement of concrete (some of it yet remains) and an en iclosure of planks; within the en closure there was a block house, lately destroyed, to the regret of this Department, a powder maga zine, and quarters for officers of brick; and a barracks, a guard house and a store-house of wood. “The terreplein of the battery was ten feet below the parade and site of the buildings. The battery could receive eleven or twelve guns. The block house was square and of t wo stories, the upper projected three feet, form ing a machicoulis defense of the approach to the lower story. The distance from the block house to the battery was about one hun dred yards. This battery was pro vided with loop holes and em brasures above. “There is a drawing on file en titled ‘Fort Johnston and part of the town of Smithville, N. C., 1802,’ which shows a large pen tagonal work. Whether this rep resents the fort erected about 1745 or one erected later, is not shown by an examination of the records.” Read The Want Ads LIONS HEAR OF Continued From Page One from each other is “a political crime of first magnitude.” He spoke of the social and economic barriers imposed by this strange arrangement, not to mention the geographic difficulties. General Glore likened the at tempt being made to help foreign countries to the church mission ary program. “Some of the ef fort is wasted," he admitted, ‘‘and some of it is ill-advised. But we should not be crucified for try ing”.
