her skipper. The popular R <S- S Amusements were headed hack
to town. It was mighty early, but the first camellia blooms of
the season had been reported by Orton Manager Jim Ferger.
The Red Cross workroom was preparing to close after 2 years
of busy wartime activity; a report appeared on the society page
of the marriage of Miss Bette Marie Bottorf to Coast Guards
man Ormond Leggett: and the editorial writer, then as now, was
advising tobacco farmers to spend the proceeds from their crop
wisely.
August 17. 19-19: North Carolina Baptists were awaiting de
livery of a deed to Fort Caswell for a reported purchase price of
$86,000. A lesser undertaking by a smaller Baptist group was
tho parsonage project being started at Soldier Bay. Still on the
subject of church news, the steeple of the Southport Presbyterian
Church had been struck by lightning.
Capt. Fred Willing had made fishing news that week with a
65-lb tarpon. This fish, coming immediately following a spec- j
tacular catch of a 122-pounder the week previously by Capt.
Bill Styron, helped establish the fact that tarpon could be taken \
in this area by means of rod and reel. On the society page there
was the picture of a riew bride. Mrs. Percy Lee Pair, nee Miss
Betty Todd Corlette. Our Not Exactly News editor was needling
the prospective candidates for a local high school football team
to get out and practice in light togs if they wanted to boost
financial interest in their project; the advertising section spoke
of the tobacco market and its $52.81 average; and there were
other advertisements heralding the back to school items being
pushed by Brunswick merchants.
Five years later and fishing n<Ws still was prominent on the
front page of The Pilot. Four sailfish had been brought in by
Southport charter boatsmen. There had been an official visit
to Sunny Point bv General Charles G. Holle, Division Engineer
for the Corps of Engineers, Atlanta, Ga. Sunday movies made
their debut at the Amuzu with ‘The Best Years Of Our Lives.”
Southport was getting a new business, a G. I. Surplus store.
The Rev. L. D. Havman had written from Carolina Beach to
announce that he had purchased the “Silver Spray” and would
be ready to carry out fishing parties the following season. He
spoke of plans for retirement from the N. C. Methodist Con
ference at the fall session. Thompson McRaeken, displaced
Walden Creek melon grower, reported a bumper crop over at
Fort Caswell; an emergency appeal was being made for funds
for support of National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis; and
Mr. and Mrs. Guy Garrett had moved here from Aruba follow
ing his retirement from Standard Oil Co.

The famed Dead Sea Scrolls
owe their discovery to sheerest
accident, the National Geographic
Magazine says. In 1947 a Bedouin
boy, searching for a strayed goat
in the desolate Wilderness of
Judea, idly cast a stone into a
small opening among the cliffs
bordering the Dead Sea. He h< ard
the shattering of pottery, in
vestigated, and found several
large earthen jars. In them were
aged scrolls wrapped in foul
smelling linen. His discovery set
off a concentrated search that
yielded many priceless docu
ments.
