Brunswick County has a right j to be proud of it’s Cancer So I ciety Unit which was organized jin 1960. For the 1960 and 1961 crusades the unit exceeded the quota assigned by the North Carolina Division of the Society, j The unit * has conducted numer ous and extensive survey and edu cational activities in the county which have served to advance the cause of the prevention and cure of cancer. Constructive assistance to needy patients has been provided l thru the chairman of the Service Committee, Mrs. Charles Picker rell of Southport. The unit is capable of providing more serv ice of this character upon presen tation of the necessary informa tion to Mrs. Pickerrell. Educational activities have been conducted under the direction of Mrs. James C. Bowman of South port, who has also supervised the follow-up of the national survey cases which are resident in the county. These activities are ex tremely valuable in the study of the long term results provided through early diagnosis, treat ment, and sometimes surgery. Although the Brunswick Coun ty Unit has been organized for only two years, the position of the unit at the end of the 1961 Crusade is of interest to the county.

Dupont of Wilmington, Del., were visitors in Southport Sunday aboard their sailing yacht Cyane, and while here purchased five water colors done by Southport artist Waters Thompson. The Southport man does most of his painting in spare time while on duty at the marine dock operated by his father at the Southport yacht basin. The Du ponts have been regular visitors here over the years and have seen and admired his paintings. Sunday they chose five which they particularly liked and car ried home with them to Delaware. The couple left their boat here and flew from Wilmington, where they were taken by Thompson. He reports that the Cyane had sailed from Newport, R. I., to Bermuda, thence to Sweden, back to Lisbon, Portugal, then to Los Palmas, Canary Islands, down to Antigua in West Indes. This rep resented the last leg of their voy age.

This new addition will be dedicated with appropriate ceremonies Sunday morning. Antioch Church In Dedication Service Sunday New Educational Building Is Latest Improvement In The Facilities Of This Big Rural Church In the year 1867, in a school building which stood about a mile north of the Midway intersection on the Bolivia road a little group of Baptists assembled together for the purpose of organizing a church. After proper organization proceedure the group emerged as an organized Missionary Baptist Church, having chosen for them selves the name of Antioch Bap tist Church. The first pastor was the late Rev. Paul Lennon. According to the information available, some of the charter members were: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woodside, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Woodside, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Smith, J. H. Roberts, Davis Smith. During the years 1943-1944 a new building was erected and dedicated on February 25, 1945. The congregation paid for the building as built and when they moved in they were debt free. In 1957 under the leadership of the Rev. Luther Hawkins a building fund was set up for a new educational building. During the following years this fund con tinued to grow. The Rev. James C. Alley came to Antioch in January, 1961, to serve as pas tor. The building committee and finance committee composed of the following men were appointed early in 1961: Building Committee—H u b e r t Brittain, chairman; Eugene Clem ons, Leon Williams, Otis Garner, John Paul Sellers; Finance Com mittee—James Garner, chairman; Mercer Johnson, treasurer; Cele land Swain, Liston Richardson, Lewis Harvell, Gorrell Thompson. Plans were submitted to the church for approved in August, 1961. The ground-breaking serv ice was held October 8, 1961, and actual construction began late in November.

There had been an early Easter, and with it a chilly holiday for those with new holiday finery; the late R. E. Sentelle was representing Brunswick in the House of Representatives in Ral eigh; and there was a project on for the propogation of Shad in the Cape Fear River. April 1, 1942, and the front page picture of two Waccamaw township brothers reminded readers that World War II was on. They were Irvin and Bob Milligan,, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Halve Milliken. Special Easter services were being planned here. March was gone, leaving behind a reputation for having been a wet and warm month. A dance band from N. C. State College was coming here to play for a charity dance. There was a strange appeal to labor: the late Congressman Bayard Clark had said the 40-hour week would have to go; that “the war was no WPA project.’ A front page picture in our edition for April 2, 1947, showed Gaither Crutchfield, Whiteville tobacconist, with a 28-lb. rockfish he had caught at Lockwoods Folly. There was an announcement that there would be no closed season on freshwater fishing that spring in Brunswick. a The Brunswick County Selective Biard that had included the Continued On Page 4 Bellamy Resigns Recorder’s Post Preparedness Is This Man’s Virute Bruce Atkinson of the Mill Creek community, who has recently been the subject of a feature story in this paper, some time ago was a very sick man. According to Dr. N. M. Hornstein he was call ed to the Atkinson home to find Mister Bruce with a tem perature of 104-degrees. So sure was the octogena rian that his time had come, that he had had brought into tha house a. coffin all pre pared for him. “It was un canny,” said the doctor, “to treat a man even as his coffin reposed in the same room.” This story has a happy end ing: Mister Bruce got well, and the coffin was removed to an outbuilding . . . Career Uay At Leland School Brunswick High School Jun iors And Seniors Will Have Opportunity To Plot Future Course The Fourth Annual High School Career Day for Brunswick stu dents will be conducted Friday (tomorrow) at the Leland High School. According to Brunswick Schools Superintendent John G. Long, "It will begin at 9:30 in the morning and last until 2 p. m., or later. It will be a full day and a red letter day for upperclassmen in our school system." Career Day is simple enough in purpose, and is held for high school juniors and seniors in or der that these may meet various representatives of colleges and universities, as well as represent atives of all the Armed Services, before the great day of gradua tion, when the graduate stands, so as to speak, at the crossroad of life. Supt. Long said that the pro gram will be presented in two sessions, one in the morning and one after lunch, which will be served in the school cafeteria, and that representatives from Duke University, East Carolina College, Atlantic Christian Col lege, Meredith, St. Andrews, Wil mington College, Wingate, Louis burg, Campbell, Chowan, among others, will meet the upperclass men and discuss opportunities promised through higher educa tion. If the student prefers to be come a part of the military, the U. S. Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Air Force will offer assistance to the students in this respect. Representatives of the various professions, com merce and industry will also be on hand at the school to offer advice and suggestions in occu pational opportunities, including engineering, forestry, agriculture, j airlines, law enforcement, jour- | nalism, religion and social welfare | fields. Supt. Long said that “parents who may wish to confer with the I various representatives present i during Career Day may do so ; Continued On Page i I 'Judge Ut Brunswick Coun ty Recorder’s Court Has Been Named Telephone Co-Op Manager Earl Bellamy, now completing his fourth consecutive 2-year term as judge of Brunswick county Recorder’s Court, will resign this week to accept appointment as manager of the Atlantic Tele phone Membership Cooperative. Fred Brown who formerly has served in both capacities, now will devote his full time to the duties of plant superintendent. This matter has been pending for several weeks, and Bellamy is slated to enter upon his new duties Monday, April 2. This means that he will be unable to preside over any further court sessions, and it will now be the duty of the board of county com missioners to appoint someone to fill his unexpired term. There is considerable specula tion as to just who this is likely to be. Members of the Brunswick County Bar Association met Tuesday and prepared a resolu tion requesting that a member of that group be named for the in terim appointment. There has been a rumor that one member of the present board of commissioners would like to be named to serve the remainder of the Bellamy term, and if that were to take place, a vacancy then would be created on the board. If that were to happen, a new commissioner would be ap pointed by Clerk of Court Jack Brown. There appears to be general agreement that the appointee for the position of judge should not be one of the men who will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination in May. Thus far the only formal announcement has come from W. J. McLamb, who formerly held this position in county government. Bellamy is a graduate of the University of North Carolina, is married and has four children. He is a veteran of World War II, during which he was in the Navy. He attained the rank of Lieutenant, junior grade. In addi tion to his duties as judge of Recorder’s court, he has served for the past two years as office manager for Russ, White Motor Sales at Shallotte. Funeral Chapel For Shallotte New Manager And New Building Expand Facili ties Of Peacock Funeral Service In Brunswick Peacock Funeral Home in Shal 1 v*t.t.c has indue recent changes that have resulted in a large addition to the building and the employment of a new manager. Robert E. Gibson, a native of Hamlet, and a licensed embalmer and funeral director, is the new manager. Gibson, 34 and single, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Rob ert E. Gibson, Sr., of Hamlet. He was appointed to the manager ship a month ago and now makes his home at Shallotte. A grad uate of Hamlet High School, the funeral director is a graduate of the Pittsburgh Institute of Mor tuary Science, and brings to Brunswick County the experience of 15 years spent in the mortu ary field at Hamlet.

These cases are set up by street and house numbers rather than by names of patrons. To assist those that are uncer tain as to new home addresses, the following will apply: City officials decided upon us ing Moore and Howe Streets as dividing lines in determining the compass points for streets. All streets west of Howe street running parellel to Moore street should bear the letters “W” or the word West, such as 212 W. Nash Street. Streets east of Howe street running parellel to Moore street should bear the letter “E” or the word East, as 314 E. Bay street. All streets south of Moore street which run parallel to Howe street should bear the letter “S” or the word South, as 113 S. Davis street. All streets north of Moore street running parellel to Howe street should bear the letter “N” or the word North, as 714 N. Lord Street. Exceptions to the above will be that those who live on a street that does not cross either Moore or Home streets but is entirely within the same boundary, it is not necessary to designate the compass point in the address. Listed are some of the streets in mind: Dry street which is all north of Moore street, College street, Brunswick street, Bur rington Avenue, Hillcrest Drive, Fort Johnson Place, Frink Drive, Herring Drive, Jabbertown road. All persons living in areas where motor delivery is scheduled and who desire mail delivery serv ice should immediately equip themselves with a rural type mail box with proper numbers and name. A final inspection of the citj will be made by the postal de partment prior to the inaugura tion of home delivery service.
