(Staff Photo by Allen) Williamson Has Hope For Help On School Bonds Also Reveals Final Draft Of Bill Providing For Elect ion Of County Commis sioners By ODELL WILLIAMSON After more than two months of hard work, I won my first round in trying to submit a one hundred million dollar school bond issue to the people of North Caro lina. This bill was given a favor able report last week by the House Education committee, of which I am a member, in pre ference to another $100-million bond bill which had been passed by the Senate Education commit tee. Whereas this latter bill tends to favor the wealthier and more populous counties, my bill favors the counties with the greatest need and would give Brunswick county about $200,000 more than the other bill. Since my bill still has to clear the Finance Com mittee, of which I am also a member, I have my work cut out to get it accepted eventually by the whole General Assembly, This job is made harder by the fact that the Administration is oppos ed to any bond proposal. In spite of this, I intend to fight for this cause that I consider so neces sary for our county, as well as many others. As there is no law pertaining to the primary election of the board of commissioners of Bruns wick county, I promised the voters last spring during the pri mary that I would put one on the books that a fourth grade student should be able to understand. The purpose of such a law is to en able the voters to know after the primary who the nominees are. So that you may know what the law will be if it is not chang ed by the Senate, I am quoting it to you in detail. The bill reads is follows: “In the primary election to be held in Brunswick County in 1964 Continued On Page 5 Shallotte Boy Scout Honored David Redwine Receives Coveted God And Coun try Award At Impressive Church Service On Sunday night, April 7, David Redwine, age 15, an Eagle Scout of Shallotte Troop 506, re ceived his God and Country Award at the Shallotte Baptist Church.

As evidence of the large interest in sports fishing in the area, a group of 40 men were endeavoring to get accommodations aboard local boats for one fishing trip per week for the following four months. This would involve between six and eight boats each trip. A spectacular Green Swamp fire that had burned over 4,000 acres had become clearly visible to the residents of a four county area of southeastern North Carolina. Detonations were being made among the Ft. Caswell gun Implacements to clear one of the fortifications. The implacement was being cleared of gun mountings so that an outdoor pool might be constructed in conjunction with the hot water well at Ft. Caswell. Twenty years ago this week Frank Sherrill, owner of Bald Head Island, renewed his offer of allowing the armed services to use his property as a recreational area for service men on leave. The offer was good for the duration of the war, and was to be used free of charge. This paper’s column, "Not Exactly News”, had commented ->n a 118-pound calf born to a cow owned by D. R. Johnson. The story was picked up by the Washington Times-Herald and used on the second page with a seven column headline. Fifteen years ago this week the artesian well of Ft. Caswell was expected to be a feature attraction if the reservatioh was opened to the public as was hoped. The state recently had talk ed of Ft. Caswell as part of the Mountain-Seashore park plan.
