The tenor of the second session was set by Mayor E. B. Tomlinson, Who presided over both meetings, when he stated: “It is not a question of letting the hospital close. We want to know what we can do to keep it open.” ? . Tater Chairman F. H. Swain stated “I am speaking for the board when I say we are very much in favor of the hospital”.

Jaycees Decide Bond Vote Date Southport Group Favors Holding Election On In dustrial Development Tax On January 14 Members of the Southport Jun ior Chamber of Commerce un animously voted to hold the in dustrial development election on January 14 during the state-wide vote at a meeting at the Fire Station Tuesday night. Chairman William Powell said there had been some question as to when the issue should be sub mitted to the people. “Should we | hold a separate election or should we submit the question during a state-wide election in January,” Chairman Powell asked the Jay cees? During the discussion, it was pointed out that the state-wide election affects the interest of Brunswick county greatly and two elections should be tied to gether. One member said it was silly to hold two separate elections so close together and incur an un necessary expense on the county.

(Continued «n rage 7) Board Votes Monday To Participate In Distribution Of Surplus Commodities To Needy A program to provide free food to needy county families under the Commodity Distribution Program was approved by the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners at a meeting in Southport Monday. After Assistant Director M. J. Pierce of. Raleigh, explained the program in detail, the board went on record favoring its introduction in Brunswick county to help low income families. It provides for free food to needy families meeting certain require ments. In general, the state pro vides the food and a certain amount of money for the program’s operations while the county pro vides the storage facility and two employees. If properly administer ed, the whole program can be paid for with state funds and not cost the county any money, Pierce pointed out. In order for Brunswick to re ceive the free food for distribution to needy families, the Commission ers had to agree to participate. They must appoint a commodity supervisor and helper, provide facilities and proper storage and keep accurate records for the ser vice. An individual can qualify under the program, basically, if he does not have a monthly income of over $75 per month. A man and his wife are eligible for the benefits of the program if they do not make more than $95 per month. Then $10 can be added for each child or dependent living in the house hold in computing the total month ly income of the family. Thus, a man and his wife and their 10 dependents could earn $175 per Continued On Page 0 Two Southport Men Get Awards Edward Hahn And Joe Wal ton Receive Cash Award For Suggestion Concern* ing Loading Plan For Ships Edward Hahn and Joseph Wal ton of the Cargo Operations Divi sion, Sunny Point Army Terminal, are the recipients of the largest joint cash award ever presented at Sunny Point Army Terminal. Hahn and Walton received a combined award of $515 for sug gesting that Master Vessel Forms tie obtained for the most prominent vessels loading explosives at 3PART, with routine required in formation permanently printed on he forms, using the Terminal’s Ozalid machine, thereby elimi nating many man hours involved in preparation for drawing and re producing pre-plans and final plans. This simplified procedure will in addition insure that vessel plans, are complete at the time of com pletion of vessel loading and no delay in vessel departure will re sult pending completion of stowage plans. It is estimated that adoption if this idea will result in an annual savings of more than $10,000 to the terminal. “I have not made a decision but; I am interested” in running for Governor of North Carolina, Ro-' bert Walter Scott declared here Friday at the annual meeting of the Brunswick Electric Member ship Corporation. ‘‘But if I do decide to run,’'* Scott told some 3,000 people from Columbus and adjoining couties, “you can be sure that I will plow to the end of the row.” The guest speaker from Haw River in Alamance county and son of the late Governor and U. S. Senator W. Kerr Scott, recounted, that he was not going to make any. special effort until after the meet-' ing next week end of the State' Grange, of which he is president, "because I do not want to inject] politics in the Grange.” He announced some days ago; that he would not be a cadidate. for the Grange presidency and that leaves the 34-year-old farmer-busi- ] nessman free to tap state senti-I ment on his chances for succeeding ‘ Terry Sanford as the state’s chief] executive. Branch-Head Boys ' Remembering the “branch-head - boys” as his father referred to' his supporters in the race for Gov-1 emor and U. S.
