Participating on the program was the man who started the ex cavation of the ruins of Bruns wick Town three years ago; the man who now is in charge of the project, a leading contempor ary historian and a band and chorus from Camp Lejeune. There was an early morning service ab which Holy -Communion was celebrated at the church for the first time in more than 100 years. The linen for the com munion service, sent over to this country more than two centuries ago by Queen Anne of England, were used in this service.

An appropriation had been made for locating and marking wrecks in the Southport shrimping grounds. The final link of the Intracaastal Waterway had been com pleted and ceremonies on the previous Saturday had marked the occasion. Blue mold was posing a threat to Brunswick county to bacco production; Easter had been fittingly observed in South port, with the editor taking his pen in hand for words of praise concerning local activities of the day. The front page picture in our issue for April 16, 1941, showed the USE Dredge Comstock at a Philadelphia shipyard where she was being converted into an Army cargo vessel.

Price says that notices have been mailed to all farmers giving their base acreage and rate of payment. He says that the average payment per acre for the first 20-percent of acreage on each farm is $25.30 and that the average for the second 20-percent will be $30.30 per acre. Price says that prices for individual farms may range from 50 percent to 130-percent of these amounts, depending upon past production records. Farmers are urged to at tend one of these meetings, as this program will affect every man who grows as much as one acre of grain on his farm.

Several Southport citizens are making plans to attend this meet ing, among them being James C. Bowman, who is a member of the advisory committee. Also planning to attend will be E. B. Tomlinson, Jr., who presented the invitation from Southport citizens to the committee when it met in Feb ruary at Wilmington. City Man ager C. D.

Even the skies were ready to weep, but the warmth of the gracious hospitality of the entire community and the colorful blooms of the azaleas nodding gracefully in the gusty winds, baffled the elements. The initial effort of the Wood bine Garden Club was acclaimed a huge success. It was with the cooperation of the entire community that South port earned the title, "City of Hospitality”. One visitor remark ed “I have attended many Home and Garden Tours, but I have - never witnessed such genuine gracious hospitality extended by everyone with whom I have come in contact. It makes me feel that I must return to Southport in the not too distant future, and you can be sure I shall bring many more with me for your next Home and Garden Tour”. Members of the Junior Garden Club conducted these visitors, around the city and drew praise for their efforts. They were am bassadors of good-will, and are in training as future hostesses of forthcoming tours.
