Southport Sails
In Second Win
By FOXY HOWARD
The Southport Sails teed off
on three Ogden pitchers Sunday
afternoon at Taylor Field in win
ning their second straight Cape
Fear League game by a 14 to 6
score. Once again good coaching
played a heavy part in the win as
the Sails scored their 14 runs
on the same number of hits and
left only nine men stranded. Bob
by McKeithan went the distance
in winning his second game of
i the season. He gave up twelve
. hits, fanned eleven and wanted
I only two in racking up the win.

HOMER HOLDEN
the first inning off of starter and
loser Bill Henegar before Ellis
Casteen came in to put out the
fire and get the next three bat
ters out. Foxy Howard and Dick
Brendle led off with walks and
John Carr Davis sent them both
home with a long double into
eenterfield. Paul Cochran filled up
the hole at first base when the j
shortstop bobbled his hot groun- ;
der. Davis and Cochran crossed
the plate when Agnew Fulcher
blasted a fast ball into left field
for a triple, then came home
when the third baseman missed
the relay from the outfield.
Casteen came in and got the
next six batters out without any
difficulty, but in the third inning
Fulcher, Jerry Spencer and Gene
Russ sent Casteen back to Short- j
stop with three long hits that
accounted for two more Sails
runs.
Leon Gayes came in to do the
hurling for Ogden and retired the
side without any difficulty. The
fourth inning was another story,
however, as Brendle connected for
a double, Davis sent one through
shortstop, Cochran got hit by the
pitcher, Fulcher got another sin
gle, Spencer drew a walk, Russ
hit into a fielders choice that
accounted for a run on the play,
and Rabbit Ludlum dropped a
single into left field to account
for five runs and put the Sails
ahead twelve to three.
The Sails other two runs came
in the seventh inning when Mc
Keithan got on by an error, went
to second on a single by Howard
and came home on a single by
Ronnie Hood. Howard scored on
another single by Ron Allen.
Meanwhile, Ogden scored two
runs in the top of the first in
ning when Jack Burns, the visit
ing catcher, hit a long triple
past Russ in left field to bring
in Morris Thompson, who had
walked, and Casteen, who had
singled. In the third inning the
visitors scored another when Bill
Alexander got on by an error,
went to second and third on pass
ed balls and came in on Hene
gar’s single to left.

E. C BLAKE
BRUNSWICK COUNTY
BOARD of EDUCATION
I do not wish to engage in a bitter newspaper battle,
however, my opposition has made certain public state
ments which I feel should be corrected.
First: The piece of land mentioned that was purchas
i ed by the Board of EducatioTi for Southport School has
twice the frontage that was stated. According’ to the At
torney General no law was violated when the Board of
Education purchased this needed land without consulting
the Commissioners, as stated by my opposition.
I agree that the Southport, Leland, Shallotte, and
Bolivia Schools need expansion and the Board of Education
! has already let contracts for two classrooms at Southport,
j two at Leland, two at ShaHotte, and two bathrooms at
Bolivia. This work is to start immediately, with completion
before the opening of school this fall. I agree also that a
fund should have been started years ago for these and
other building projects, but I was not on the Board of Edu
cation so very many years ago.
Concerning the piece of land that is afeout to be se
cured by the Board of Education for a badly needed sew
erage disposal plant at Shallotte School, the actual case
is that I own and have now leased the land where the
sewerage has been openly released all these years. I have
never complained, but simply requested that as soon as
money became available, that a sewerage disposal plant
be constructed for Shallotte School. The State Deparment
of Public Health was requested by the Board of Education
fo make a survey as to the best and most economical lo
cation for the plant. This was done and bids received, and
a contract let according to law. No great expense will be
encountered in securing the land.
The Board of Education has on file a report from the
State Board of Health, which indicates that the water at
Leland School is not polluted and is safe for drinking pur
poses. A new and ample water well was installed at Le
land School in 1960. A sewerage disposal drain field was
installed year before last. The lunch room at Leland School
has a “A” Grade. The inspection report made by the
Board of Health on April 25, 1962, does not list any points
lost due to the water. This reoort is on file in the Board of
Education office and the office of the principal.
I know of no workshop fund at Leland that is mess
ed up, but believe that my opposition must have been re
ferring to some soft drinks that the local school sold at the
shop and were found missing. Although this was a local
problem, the Board of Education Attorney volunteered in
formation and made recommendations. It was left up to
the local school committee to take the first step.
The Board of Education approved a heating plant for
the Leland Shop in the budget that was presented last
summer. The money for this item was removed by the
County Commissioners. Enough money was left in the Bud
get for a paint job at Leland Shop. The Shop needed a
painting, 'so the shop was painted.
The heating system in the Union Gymtorian is ade
quate, however, the money that had been approved by
the Board of Education for insulation of that building was
taken from the budget by the County Commissioners.
The people of Leland School District voted an extra
[tax for their school. This money is kept separate and used
! only for improvements above and beyond those that the
County Board of Education can afford. A budget separate
from the County Budget is prepared by the local school
committee and principal, approved by the County Board
of Education and County Commissioners each year. No
money can be spent nor changes made in this budget with
out request of the local board, approved by the County
Board and County Commissioners. This fund is audited the
same as other school funds.
During the present school year, Mr. A. H. Gainey, Jr.,
Attorney, made extensive and intensive research in the
sources and expenditures of the special tax money and
at a public meeting, called for that purpose, reported his
findings to the people of the District. No discrepancies
were reported. He and the principal also pointed out to
the large group present where to go to find out the amount
of money collected, expenditures, etc. (It was reported that
only about 15 per cent of the money received for this pur
pose was paid by local tax payers. The majority was col
lected from large business in that district.)
It seems to me that some few people feel that the
Board of Education should answer all their questions about
the school by means of the newspaper. While the Board
fully appreciates the cooperation of the newspapers, this
means of communication could be not only time consum
ing; but expensive, however, any member of the Board of
Education will be happy to answer questions concerning
the schools at any time they are contacted. The public re
cords in the Board of Education office are always open
and no one has ever been denied the privilege of meeting
with the Board of Education during any regular or called
meeting.
I am proud to have served on the Board ot tducation
for the past four years, i have done everything in my pow
er to help give you the best schools possible consistent with
the available means. I feel that much progress has been
made and, of course, we will not be satisfied until we
eventually have schools second to none.
I am a father and more recently, a grandfather. My
son attended a Brunswick County School, I hope for my
grandson to attend the same school. I am interested not
only in the welfare of my own, but in the welfare of all.
I attended Oak Ridge Military Acadamy, am a church
member, a thirty-second degree Mason, and a business
man. I feel that my experience, both on and off the Board
of Education, can continue to be used to the benefit of the
Brunswick County School System and our children. I will
be most grateful for your vote and support in the May 26,
1962, Primary.
