The suit charged that the bomb was placed in the plans by. a Cuban agent in order to kill an other Cuban agent. The second agent had fallen from favor with the Communist government of Castro. The suit 'was filed against Na tional Airlines and' the Republic of Cuba by Arnold Ruiz whose wife died in the January 5, 1960, crash. < A lawyer for Ruiz, Aaron J. Broder, would not say what sub stantiation ' he had for charging that the explosion was caused by a Castro agent.' He said it would be brought out in court. “The purpose of the explosion was the liquidation of a hench man of the Republic of Cuba, not withstanding the costs of inno cent passengers and crew mem bers,” Lawyer Broder charged. The Civil Aeronoutics Board ruled six months after the crash that a dynamite explosion took place near a seat on the plane occupied by New York Lawyer Julian Frank. Frank carried more than $1 million worth of accident and life insurance at the time of the crash. The Board did not rule on how the dynamite had been placed on the plane.

S. Knowles, acting county extension chair man. Brunswick County farmers are being asked to more than double the number of' hogs to feed out for market during the next 5 years in order to increase the farm income, Knowles said. It was pointed out that good mar kets prevail in the area, and it is believed that the price of hogs would remain high enough to justify raising more hogs for in come purposes. Farmers on the tour visited Layton Swain’s farm near Bo livia where he feeds out 3 to 4 hundred hogs per year. He has a feeding parlor where he gets good feed conversion even in summer. His parlor is equipped with sprinklers to keep hogs cool. At the time of tour, he had about a hundred feeder pigs on corn in field. Swain handles his operation like many others should. He says, “I feed and han dle my hogs so that I can get the most out of them for the least amount of feed and labor. The market gives me a premium for feeding out meat-type hogs." The group visited the J. B. and Alden Potter farm near Win nabow where the owners take pride in raising pigs in a central farrowing house. They can look after the pigs at farrowing time and keep them in a sanitary con dition for the first six weeks. They have been weaning about 10 pigs to the litter. They too .have a feeding parlor to feed «*it i ISOgis part" 6f the time. Jfijey as# j feeders when they think the mar ket will return more income ii^ j this manner. They follow a def inite breeding program, using some of the best blood line meat type strains. They have been crossing Poland China on their sows for the past two years. Now they are beginning to cross Duroc on the offspring gilts. This insures big litters of fast growing pigs. The last visit was -at the Jo seph and Elmore Willetts farm where they have been specializ ing in producing and selling quality feeder pigs. They feel they get a premium for produc ing thrifty pigs that will feed out meat-type. The next opportunity for far mers to get information and gain knowledge in hog production will be on December 10-14. A meet ing will be held each afternoon at 2 p. m., at the Extension Service Building in Supply where a different phase of the program will be discussed. Topics will be (1) Economics of Hog Produc- j tion (2) Housing (3) Feeding and (Continued on Page 4) Southport Wins State Title In 8-Man Football Fridav Nite Delivering Trophy CEREMONY—Coach Pete Lee, right, is shown here delivering the State Championship 8-Man Football Trophy to Principal W, N.

Shrimpers all up and down the North Caroling coast were trying to relocate the large schools presently offshore.

Union Service Is Held Here Protestant Churches Unite In Pre-Thanksgiving Ser vice Wednesday Night The congregations of the four Southport Protestant churches met together in a united holiday eve service at St. Philip’s Epis copal Church Wednesday night to hear about the spirit of Thanks giving. “Every day would be filled with the spirit of Thanksgiving if peo ple would keep their blessings in front of them rather than their worries,” Rev. Mark Owens, pas tor of the Southport Baptist Church, stated. The Rev. Mr. Owens, who de livered the sermon, said that such a change would turn man from a worry wart to a “re freshing oasis that would offer help instead of forever asking help”. “Are you measuring your bless ings this Thanksgiving, will you be the one out of ten who pauses long enough to express his grati tude to God or will you be num bered among the other nine who are so thrilled in receiving that they forget completely to give recognition and gratitude to God for His healing grace” ?

Because of the increased cost of equipment and insurance for personnel, the Board of Aldermen voted in September to curtail fire protection outside the city limits unless certain requirements are met. This policy goes into effect on December 1. Fire protection will be extended only to property owners living outside the city who have a fire truck clause on their insurance policy or who have posted a bond with the city auditor. The pro tection will also be limited to a five mile radius of the city limits. Thus, for county property own ers with fire insurance living outside the city limits, fire pro tection will cost $1.50 per year. City residents pay approximately $6 per year in .taxes for this same protection.

The game was played in Wash ington, more than 150-miles from home, but the stands on one side of the field were filled with Dol-l phin supporters, who had made * the trip to see their favorites” make their bid for the State - title. • There had been reports that - Belhaven was a mighty team,' and for the first 47 % -minutes" of the ball game there was evi- - dence that they were good enough I to deadlock the Dolphins at 7-7. • But then the magic of Murphy * entered upon the scene. I Two pass completions from the ' Southport quarterback to Hod- ! ney Gamer, the last one good for • 52-yards and a touchdown, broke * the tie, and when this same - speedy halfback rammed over for ’ the extra point, bedlam broke . loose and the Southport delega- ' tion was happy. ‘ The first Southport touchdown - had come near the close of the * first half on another Murphy- " Gamer pass, and Jerry Spencer * had added the extra point for a " 7-0 lead at intermission. That success had been short-1 lived, however, when Belhaven • captured a fumble following the * second half kick-off and had scor- * ed on a pass from Johnny Cox * to Mickey Leigh. The latter I plunged for the point, tying the' score; and that is the way it remained until the final spine tingling touchdown. ^ The team traveled to Washing ton by eartered bus, and another bus load of rooters followed. In addition, there was veritable motorcade in the City of Wash ington as a crowd estimated at about 400 from here attended the game.
