H. Rourk, Shallotte phy sician and past president of Dis trict 31-H of Lions International, has been unanimously endorsed by the district Cabinet for mem bers of the Board of Directors of that organization. This action follows the endorse ment given Dr. Rourk by the Shallotte Club, and this was fol lowed up by endorsement from other clubs in the district. Durii.g his term as district governor Dr. Rourk earned the reputation of being one of the most effective leaders to occupy that high office in several years. Later he served effectively as counselor for Lions International. Lion Wallace West, himself a past president of District 31-H, retired as a member of the Board of Directors earlier this year, and at present North Carolina is with out representation on the board. If Dr. Rourk receives the endorse ment of the State organization, he will then be elevated to the post of director when the, next vacancy occurs that North Caro lina is eligible to fill. It is significant that an order of succession is followed by Lions International in the election of their presidents, and the first step is election as a director. His friends feel that for a man as dedicated as the Shallotte man has proved to be to Lionism, there may be high honors in store for him in the future of this Cotton Quotas j Given Approval Light Vote Among Cotton Farmers In Voting Last Weeh; Larger Percent Of Peanut Farmers Vote Although only a few Brunswick sounty cotton farmers went to he polls Tuesday, the majority yoted overwhelmingly in favor of quotas.
