Beach Saturday. This unique event is designed to stimulate greater development of the fast-growing hard crab industry in North Carolina. This state in 1964 passed Florida in landings of hard blue crabs and now ranks third in the nation. The primary purpose of the Crab Derby in which crabs "race” down a 15-foot plywood track is to stimulate greater in terest in crab production and processing in North Carolina. Counties invited to enter crabs in the derby are: Brunswick, New Hanover, Pender, Onslow, Dare, Hyde, Beaufort, Pamlico, Craven, Carteret, and Curri tuck. The 1965 Derby is being co sponsored by the Greater Wil mington Chamber of Commerce and the North Carolina Depart ment of Conservation and De velopment.

Well, fiat’s what happened in Southport twenty and the story appeared in the July 24 This banana bonanza developed when a shipment of 2,000 bunched was turned down in Wilmington, and the crew of the Norwegian freighter that carried them as cargo started throwing them overboard as soon as the ship passed the Cape Fear river bar. Ait incoming tide brought in this unexpected harvest, and all along th# Southport waterfront people were fish ing bananas from the liver. Elsewhere in the news, Reginald Turner had resigned as J principal at Shallotte and was going to Asheboro; the first casfe of typhoid fever in recent years was reported in Brunswick; and there had been no weekly session of Brunswick county Record sr’s court for the very good reason that there were no cases to be Jtried. The Democrats had he d their nominating convention in Chicago and had named Rooseve t and Wallace as the standard-bearers for the 1940 general ele :tion. Pictures of these men were on the front page of our July 24 publication. Back in those day, school opened later then it do is now, and September 12 had been set as the opening date in Bn nswick county. Herbert Rogers had been named acting chief of the police for Southport. “Why We Should Prot ct our Forests From Fire” columns still were running in the Pih t, and the one for this week was by Harold Aldridge of Southport; 1 ickey Rooney was the star of “Young Tom Edison”, a coming attr ction at the Amuzu; and sports fishing had been reported good durir ; the preceeding week.

State University Plant ecologist and coastal expert, will lecture on the future of Bald Head Island at the Boiling Springs Country Club Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. The Brunswick County Histori cal Society and the Southport Junior Woman's Club are spon soring Dr. Cooper's free public, illustrated lecture. Southport Mayor Gene Tom linson will introduce the speak er. His talk will include a discus sion of the natural history of the Island, of which Baldhead is the largest upland portion. The lec turer will also outline alterna tive proposals tor development or preservation and will conclude with the arguments so far ad vanced for the island's preser vation as a scenic, historical, research, and recreational area. Dr. Cooper will entertain ques tions from the audience. Dr. Cooper is the co-author with Sheafe Satterth waite of Wild life Preserves, Inc. of a compre hensive report on Smith Island. The report was published in May, 1964 by Wildlife Preserves, Inc., a national land preservation or ganization based in New Jersey, and by the N. C. Academy of Science, of whose Conservation and Legislative Committee Dr. Cooper is chairman. Prof. Cooper is the successor to Dr. B. W. Wells, who retired DR. A. W. COOPER In 1958 as professor of botany and specialist In plant ecology at North Carolina University at Ra leigh. Dr. Wells for many years spent his summers In Southport in the old Stuart House, famous landmark and hostelry. Dr. Wells In 1939 through research on Bald head Island pronounced a theory of coastal vegetation being de termined primarily by the ef fects of salt spray. This theory is now widely accepted by sci entists throughout the world. Opening Date Set On Border Market MRS. MARY M. WILSON Suggestion Is Worth A Bonus Mrs. Mary M. Wilson, Office of the Comptroller Directorate, Military Ocean Terminal, Sunny Point, recently received a award of $320. for an adopted suggestion. This was the largest amount ever awarded to a woman em ployee since the Terminal first began operations in 1955. Mrs. Wilson submitted an idea revising Sunny Point's time and cost distribution reports proce dure, which was implemented after it was determined that a savings of about $6,335. per year would result. New Phones Show Growth The Southport-Long Beach area economy is continuing to expand according to telephone figures released this week by H. F. Kincaid, Southern Bell’s manager. Kincaid said that during the past six months the number of telephones in Southport-Long Beach has increased by 70. There now are 1,358 telephones in the Southport-Long Beach area. ‘‘This increase of telephones is an excellent barometer of the healthy and growing economy of the area,” said Kincaid, ‘‘and we are glad to be part of it.” He said that Southern Bell has a strong interest in the con tinued growth of Brunswick county’s economy, and that the company will spend large sums of money to improve and expand telephone service in the future “Southern Bell will spend $42 million for local service im provement and expansion during 1965, and a great deal of this money will go directly into the Southeastern North Carolina eco nomy,” Kincaid said. It’s been set—the beginning date of the 1965 tobacco sales season on the Border Belt. An August 5 date was approved during the annual meeting of the Border Belt Association In Lum berton Tuesday night, buf not without the objections of the majority of Whiteville’s ware housemen who say local farmers need an extra week to prepare' their tobacco. Dial Gray of the Columbus County Warehouse, Whiteville, declared, “The fifth is too early for our opening. Many farmers have asked us to put the open ing off to as late a date as possible and I feel I should try to go along with them.” But August 5 was approved, and this date coincides with the opening of the South Carolina Warehouse Association open ings. Representation for Whiteville warehouses was by J. T., Jim and Ernest Smith of Smith’s; John Nelson, Nelson’s; A, O. King and Joke McPherson, Planters; Gaither Crutchfield, Crutch field’s; Dial Gray and Dial Gray Jr., Columbus County; Walter Hooks, I. A. Barefoot and Carl ton Barefoot Jr., Liberty. Elected as officers of the association were P. R. Floyd, Fairmont, president; Leroy Townsend, Lumberton, vice president; and C. B. Stafford, Fairmont, secretary-treasurer. Dial Gray Sr. of Whiteville and James c. Green of Chadbourn were named to the board of governors; A. O. King of White ville, Joe Coleman of Tabor City, and Randolph Currinof Fair Bluff were appointed directors. Fred Royster, executive secretary of the Border Belt Association, during his talk gave emphasis to the importance of a regulation calling for closing of all warehouse scales at midnight each night. This rule is en forceable by law, he said. The regulation calls for closing of scales at midnight and keeping them closed until 6 a. m. the following day. Scales will also be closed from midnight Satur day until 6 a.m. Monday. It was suggested that farmers be advised to book their tobacco between 6 a. m. and 12 p. m. on week days because of the new regulation which disallows weighing of tobacco over the weekend. i Return Visit To Yaupon Beach Persons dining at Trade Winds Restaurant at Yaupon Beach last week were startled when a huge helicopter hovered overhead and dropped to the parking lot. The pilot was the same fellow who had made an emergency landing there several weeks ago, so when he and his crew happened to be in the same vicinity at meal time they decided to come In for a hot lunch. "I couldn’t pass by folks who had been so nice to us,” the pilot told Mrs. Mildred Evans, who runs the Trade Winds. Baptists Here Plan Building : And Expansion The congregation of the South port Baptist Church has accepted the recommendations of a Plan ning and Survey Committee, named some weeks ago to con struct an additional educational building, make secure the vesti bule of the present sanctuary and to renovate the present educa tional building. These projects are to be done in two phases. The additional educational building and vestibule will be phase one and the renova tion of the old educational unit phase two. Long-range plans may result in the renovation and enlargement of the present sanc tuary but the church has not voted on this yet. The new educational building will be constructed parallel to the present sanctuary at the corner of Howe and Nash streets and be tied into the present building at the side entrance and will provide space tor the nursery through the intermediate ' departments of the Sunday School. The present educational building on the rear of the sanctuary will be renovated to provide better facilities for young people and adults as well as adequate space tor fellowship and recreation on the basement floor. Kitchen facilities will be provided in this area of the old building. Two Important committees were approved on July 11 to im plement these plans. The build ing committee consists of Fred Smith, chairman, Walter L. Ald ridge, J. E. Hahn, L. M. Pender graph, E. B. Tomlinson, Jr., and Kirby Sullivan ex-officio. The building fluid finance committee consists of Kirby Sullivan, chair man, R. N. Clevenger, w. C. Love, Jr., E. J. Prevatte, H. A. Livingston, Mrs. L. J. Hardee, Miss Annie May Woodslde and Fred Smith ex-officio. The pas tor, Rev. E. C. Chamblee, and the chairman of the deacons will f; serve as ex-officio members of both committees. The church called a bust- I ness conference and directed I these committees to proceed with getting floor plans draifffup tadT ’ 1 submit back to the congregation as soon as possible for appro val\ and to begin a fund rasing drive to raise the necessary money to begin construction at an early date. Praise Work At Assembly From the Boonville Baptist Church in Yadkin County 50 miles west of Winston-Salem there were more than 40 persons at tending the Training Union Con ference at the Baptist Assem bly last week. They were with Dr. and Mrs. John Lee of Bonnville. Mrs. Lee is Training Union Director from that church which had the largest number present from one church. Rev. R. J. Hogan is pastor of the Boonville Baptist Church, which placed Mission Study in the church budget and had more than forty people on the chartered bus to come in a group to the training week at Caswell. There has been in the last few years a wide interest in the North western part of North Carolina to see that the Baptist Assembly is developed and improved each year. In one of the evening serv ices last week the Smiths who are in charge of the Assembly, were praised for their work. Delegates think that the money they have to work with is little, and that they have done an out standing job. .—__— . ..— Tide Table Following is the tide table for Southport during the week.
