Washington Birthday Fox
Roundup At Long Beach
It’s finis for foxes according to
the huntmasters of Long Beach,
Tranquil Harbour and Oak Island.
On George Washington’s birthday,
February 22, a mass’ve corps of
fox-hunters, both two-legged and
four-legged, and numbering 800
in all. plan to sweep the gray ras
cals into their sea-bags.
Insofar as The Pilot can deter
mine, the event will be the largest
ever held in Eastern North Caro
lina and perhaps in the state.
Some 500 hounds and 300 men
will engage in the mass sporting
event, and invitations have been
sent to Governor Terry Sanford
and many other state dignitaries, j
Sanford engaged in fox-hunting i
over the same terrain last month. 1
Dan’L Walker, city manager of
Long Beach and a namesake of !
the Walker hound, stated that all !
who attend and participate in the j
roundup will automatically be- j
come officers in the newly-form- j
ed Long Beach Fox Hunters Club. !
Walker added that all members
will be “vice presidents for life
time term; since there is no rank
and file among true devotees of
the ancient and honorable sport
of chasing reynard over hill and
dale.”
Within recent weeks some 25
brushy-tails have been brought to
bay on the island.
Since Long Beach is on the sea
ward side of an island, a warm
invitation to the hunt has been
extended to the State Ports Au
thority; and since roads are
straight, smooth and plentiful in
the area, the State Highway Com
mission also was tendered invita
tion. Since the laws of N. C. per
mit the extermination of preda
tory animals, all members of the
State Legislature—with or with
out dogs—shall not, avers Dan
Walker, be barred.
Walker, who would rather see
home-builders than foxes throng
his pfecincts, said that' he “feels
A Modernized Art
By DR. ROGER W. PRICE
Spinal manipulation was first used by the
Egyptians and the Greek physieiains many years
before Christ. Chiropractic, as known and prac
ticed today, was founded by Dr. D. D. Palmer
in 1895. He systematised and developed this
form of spinal adjusting and prepared himself
to teach it. Dr. Palmer established the fact that
constricion of he spinal nerve openings
hiough joint deviations affects the spinal
nerve root as well as the spinal cord and is in
many cases the fundamental cause of symptoms
of various ailments. He based his reasoning on
results obtained in his clinical practice, and
later proved his work by the X-ray.
Due to its beneficial results, the science
has attained wide recognition ranking as the largest drugless profession
with numerous colleges, clinics and sanitariums. The professional training to
practice covers a period of four years.
From statistics compiled by the Chiropractic Research Bureau it is of
particular interest to note that spinal adjustments obtain result in many con
ditions where traditional methods prove ineffective.

TOMMY MoGLAMJERY
Southport Boy
Trophy Winner
Tommy McGamery, 14-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Mc
Gamery of Southport, was recent
ly awarded a large trophy for his
fishing prowess.
Not for Tommy an expensive
trip "outside” in one of South
port’s party boats. Tommy, whose
parents operate a cafe alongside
the city dock, spends much of his
vacation fishing from that dock
—and with awesome results.
For instance the fish which won
him his trophy was a 283-pound
sand shark which measured a full
nine feet in length.
Tommy’s monster was caught
last July at the city dock on a
lure of bonita, and with a line
tested on'y at 72 pounds. Little
Mac, as the 8th-grade student is
sometimes called, was not unduly
excited at the presentation, being
an avid and experienced fisher
man for one of his tender years.
In 1960 he pulled to shore a shark
which would make two of the
1961 prizewinner, and on the very
same day that he caught his
