Swine Dysentery
| Is Major Threat
| Farmers who bring newly-pur
j chased pigs into their herds this
' winter without taking health pre
i cautions are running the chance
of suffering some heavy losses.
A major threat right now is
j swine dysentery, says the Ameri
! can Foundation for Animal
Health. This disease is becoming
more and more of a problem. It
can affect up to 100 per cent of
the herd, and can cause 25 to 50
per cent death losses if it goes
untreated.
What warning signs of dysen
tery shoukl a farmer watch for?
Scouring is one of the major
: symptoms. But other diseases
[ cause scouring, too, so a first
1 step in controlling an outbreak is
! to have a veterinarian diagnose
the exact cause, and then take
proper treatment measures.
Farmers are advised to make
sure that pigs are bought from a
jj healthy herd. Newly-purchase !
j pigs should be kept apart from
j the home herd for a period of
I weeks, because infected hogs can
! be spreaders of this disease even
; before they show symptoms,
i Swine dysentery is now becorn
| ing a real threat to hog profits
j in many areas, and authorities
| urge producers to be more watch
ful for it.

land Golf and Beach Club. More
than 500 hounds and 300 hunters

| foxes on the appointed day.
APPEAL FOR AID

1 on the street for the convenience i
of the public, very little use is
i made of the cans.
I “To have a clean neat and at
' tractive town it requires the co
operation of every individual.
, Therefore, we are appealing to the
citizens of Southport to refrain
from throwing drinking cups, bot
tles, beer cans, and paper in the
streets. People like to come to
Southport, help us to keep it clean
, and attractive so they will come
back," the city manager urged
his fellow citizens.
OFFER TEACHERS
Continued From Page 1
the awards consideration is given
to such factors and circumstances
as aptitude, purposefulness, schol
arship, character, financial need,
and areas or subjects in which
the demand for teachers is great
est.
A recipient receiving the award
for four years would be obligated
to teach in the North Carolina
public schools for four years. If
for some acceptable reason the
teaching obligation is not com
pleted, repayment must be made
in cash.
At present, 1,300 prospective
teachers are enrolled in 48 North
Carolina colleges as recipients of
this financial aid. Three hundred
seventy-one public school teachers
currently teaching in North Caro
lina received aid through this
program, with two hundred twen
ty-six more qualifying to teach
at the end of this school term.
During the five years the Schol
arship Loan Program has been
in operation, an average ' of thir
teen hundred applications have
been received each year.

Stanley South, archaeologist in
charge of excavations at Bruns
wick Town, has been assisting
the ladies in preparing their pre
sentation. Adoption of the pro
ject will be a step forward in the
plans for making the Brunswick
Town site well known among
North Carolina’s historical attrac
tions, and the Department of Ar
chives and History is cooperating
in this present endeavor. If the
Garden Clubs assume this as a
project there will be close coop
eration between the two groups in
bringing this about.

there was a movement on for real estate development, for one
display advertisement offered 20 acres at Cause landing for sale.
The drive for funds for a renovation project at Dosher Memo
rial Hospital was over the top, with $10,456.80 being reported.
| That story was on the front page of The Pilot for February 6,
1952. A school bus driver strike was messing up the attendance
; records at the consolidated schools of the county. A display ad
told of a forthcoming beer-wine election for Brunswick county on
| March 29. 1952.
Brunswick county sheriff’s offices had captured 16 stills during
! the previous year; “Spice of Life,” a variety show put on with
local talent, had the town talking—and saying nice things about
their friends and neighbors-turned-actors; and plans were being
made for a big band day at Shallotte.
Camellia blooming was at its peak at Orton, with no serious
damage reported from cold thus far in the season. That was
front page news five years ago this week. And from Shallotte
came word that removal of buildings from the newly acquired
right-of-way for U.S. No. 17 were giving the town a new look.
Two boats fishing out of Southport and in waters beyond the
I Frying Pan lightship were bringing in impressive weekly catches.
An all-night gospel sing was being planned at Bolivia; Represen
tative .Tames C. Bowman, in Raleigh to attend the sessions of
the State Legislature, had written the first of his weekly reports

Your Telephone Manager
ALL NUMBER CALLING has been introduced in
Southport and we've had several people ask us why
it’s necessary to change telephone numbers such as
GL 7-3121 to 457-3121 since they’re still dialed the
same. There are several reasons.
* *
FIRST, not enough usable telephone numbers can be
derived from a combination of letters and numbers.
There are now 80,000,000 telephones in use in the
U. S. and Canada, and we're adding 13,000 a day.
Almost all of them will need a new number. All
Number Calling is a necessary change . . to provide
everyone with enough telephone numbers for the
future.
*
*
IN ADDITION, All Number Calling (ANC) helps eli
minate confusion, wrong numbers, and dialing er
rors caused by central office names that sound
alike. Also ANC enables customers to better dis
tinguish between the letter “I” and the number one,
the letter “O” and the zero.
*
ifc *
FINALLY, when all the letters are removed from
telephone numbers, telephone themselves will have
numbers only and be easier to use. This will simpi
o development of telephones with push buttons
instead of a dial, cutting calling time more than
one-half.

I CHARLOTTE Charlotte Motor
Speedway officials this week 1
hoisted “full-steam-ahead" ban- !
| nets on staging the third annual
World 600 late model automobile ,
race on Sunday, May 27.
The stepped-up pace came in
the wake of Federal Court ap
proval for speedway trustee Rob
ert N. Robinson to arrange fi
nancing of World 600 race ex
penses.
Robinson issued the following
statement after U. S. Federal Dis
trict Judge J. B. Craven ordered
short-term financing of the race:
“With tl»e assurance of the
Federal Court that the 1962 World
600 race will be held, we have
now placed on sale reserved
grandstand tickets to the race.
Tickets may be obtained in per
son or by mail through the speed- j
way's offices, 108 Liberty Life j
Bldg., Charlotte, N. C.
Several preliminary events will I
also be scheduled, Robinson said,
including four days of qualifying j
time trials May 23-26 to deter- !
mine “600“ starting positions.
The speedway, which opened in
1960, is now operating under
Chapter X of the Federal Acts of j
Bankruptcy relating to corporate i
reorgupzation. Chapter X, in ef
fect, permits a company with fi
nancial difficulties to continue op
erations under a Federal Court
appointed trustee.
