The regular morning worship service at 11:10 o’clock is to be followed by a picnic style lunch eon in the Community Building. Invitations have been sent to all former members whose present address is known and it is hoped that many will return for a visit to the church and to the com munity. St. Philip’s was admitted' to union, as an organized church with the Diocese of North Caro lina—there being only one Diocese in the state at that time—during the annual convention of the Church at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Fayetteville on May 29, 1851. The number of members at the time of admission is not known; however, records indicate that Dr. John H. Hill, Dr. W. G. Curtis, Owen D. Holmes, F. J. Lord and two others unnamed were present at the convention to represent the church, which was admjtted under the name of “Old St. Philip’s’’ of Smithville. Services were conducted by J. W. Murphy, a lay reader, until the arrival of the first rector, the Rev. Peyton Gallagher, on June 27, 1852. The Rev. Mr. Gallagher served the Parish—which at that time consisted of Brunswick, Pen der, and Sampson counties—for several months. The second rec tor, the Rev. Jonathan A. Wain wright, M.

The 237 pound billfish was caught by Earl Howard of Albemarle fishing aboard the John Elian with Capt. Walter Lewis. Despite the large catch, it was still the story of the big one that got away. Earlier in the day, another member of the party hooked one that the others said looked fully twice as large. After a few jumps, however, the “big one” took off. The Southport Volunteer Fire Department was attending nightly sessions of a course known as General Firemanship. Each of the seven three-hour sessions concerned a different fire fight ing and prevention practice. Ten years ago this week it was estimated that after the dock area dredging was complete at Sunny Point about the first «f 1954, there would be two million highway truck loads full of rock and marl stockpiled in the storage area. The deposits would then be made available for use on road building projects. A mix ture of rock, marl, sand, and water was being pumped beyond the dikes. A strean then flowed from the area back to the river, leaving the heavy deposits behind. The Southport-Myrtie Beach marathon motorboat race was scheduled for the following day with more than 100 outboard boats expected to compete for the thirty prizes, three each in the ten divisions. Fifteen years ago this week the U. S. Army Engineers turn ed in a favorable report concerning the development of flood control and drainage projects on the Waccamaw river. The de velopment of such a feature would present the farms in the Waccamaw river area with great agricultural possibilities.
