If appropriated, the money could he used by local governments as matching funds for federal grants, ! he added. The Brunswick beach developers had stated previously that efforts by the Corps of Army Engineers to control erosion through dredging and other methods were inade quate and a waste of money. Colonel J. S. Grygiel said more aid could be expected in the future when a new shallow draft dredge is placed into service next month. He added that some Brunswick beach projects had been surveyed by the Corps and were found not to eco nomically feasible. In answering requests for more jetties instead of dredging, Colonel Grygiel said that jetties cost a lot of money. Chairman Price had words of praise for the news about the new dredge. “It seems to me that this is what may have been needed for a long time,” he declared. Before hearing reports from the various beach areas in Brunswick county, Chairman Price explained the functions of the Seashore Commission in the meeting held at the Community Building in Southport Friday morning. “Our only purpose in existing is to help coastal areas of the state,” he said. “The twofold purpose of the commission is to protect and de velop the coast of North Carolina”, he continued. He said the 20-member commis sion was created by the last Gen eral Assembly as an outgrowth of it predecessor, the Outer Banks, Seashore Commission. He praised the work of Senator Ray Walton j and Representative Odell William- j son for their backing the new com mission. Chairman Price said the com mision members were presently visiting the coastal areas of the state to become acquainted with the problems and people. “We want the people to become ac quainted with us, too,” he added. He stated that more thought should be given to the question of setting aside some parts of the coast for state owned public recre ational areas. Several of the Brunswick beach developers later said there was no need for this to be done. Chairman Price announced the i commission unanimously passed a resolution Thursday in Wilmington favoring the establishment of the Fort Fisher-Southport ferry. “Act- i ually I think you need a bridge,” j he added. He announced that Ira Chadwick j Continued On Page 4 j Waccamaw Bank To Construct Building Here Annual Report To Stock holders Thursday Even ing Reflects Important Growth During 1963 Waccamaw Bank and Trust Company advised stockholders at the annual meeting Thursday that the bank’s stature for 1963 was some $4.75 million above 1962 and $11 million better than the Decem ber 31, 1961 record.
