Cooper talk about the need for the preservation of Bald Head Island at their August meeting held In the recreation hall at Sacred Heart Catholic Church In Southport. Dr. Cooper, plant ecologist and plant expert, is a member of the faculty at N. C. State of the University of North Caro lina. In his talk he first gave his audience an orientation of the area under discussion through the use of slides; discussed pro posals that have been advanced for development of the island; then made out a case for the pre servation of this unique area in its present state. In this latter connection, Dr. Cooper conceded that it will be necessary for some en croachment on the part of the public to occur and mentioned use as a state park with camping sites and facilities for this type recreation as possible develop ments. But he stressed his con viction that the island affords unique and unusual opportunities for scientific study; that the salt marshes surrounding the island have an important economic bearing on seafood and shellfish industry in this region; and that there are recreational and historical possibilities which de serve to be preserved tor pos terity. Dr. Cooper gave a frank and (Continued On Page Pour) Brief Bits Of -NEWS-! DRAFT BOARD The Selective Service Board in Southport will be closed Friday.

Private Boarding Home Being Built Ground was broken here Mon day for the new boarding home, Ocean Trail Rest Home, which will be a private operation for Mr. and Mrs. Sam Watts, who have been in charge of the Bruns wick County Boarding Home since 1950. Although the Watts team of hus band and wife have been interest ed for several years in the pos sibility of owning and operating their own rest home, recent ac tion by state authorities in con demning the Brunswick County Boarding Home had much to do with their decision to speed this move. They are constructing their new building according to state specifications. It will be of masonry and will start with 30 bed capacity. There will be dining and recreational facili ties to take care of his inmate load. The building will be heated electrically. The contractor is Walter Sel lers of Supply, one of the best known general contractors in Brunswick. With this move in prospect, an extension has been granted for the continued operation of the existing boarding home until the new facility is completed. This is expected to be about December 1. Support Builds For Publicity Forty-seven Long Beach, Southport and Yaupon Village merchants have joined the Low er Cape Fear News Bureau in an effort to help promote the area through an extensive publicity campaign, according to Hugh Zachary, secretary-treasurer. “Response to our program continues to be good in the com mercial community,” said Zachary. “Many professional men of Southport are also join ing the news bureau. It looks as if we'll have close to 90 percent participation during the first year.” Adrian Daniels, public re lations director, reports that re sponse to news releases pre pared by the bureau have been excellent. During the first week of serv ice by a newspaper clipping firm which supplies the bureau with copies of all stories, items from newspapers in Charlotte, Wil mington, Raleigh, Whitevllle and Winston-Salem were received. Television stations in Char lotte and Greenville are carry ing regular reports on fishing in the lower Cape Fear area. A sys tem of weekly reports on fishing to newspapers throughout the state has been set up. Dupli cating equipment has been obtained by the bureau to allow mass production of these reports, according to Daniels. “The news media has been contacted and they assure me that they will use material related to this area,” said Daniels. “And now we're set to feed material to (Continued On Page Four) Unusual Sailboat Is Visitor Her£“ ; Paul Er ling Johnson, a resident of Lerwick, Scotland, was an overnight visitor at the Southport Small Boat Harbor last weekend. Several interesting facts make Johnson unique. The 26-year-old Scot has recently completed a crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in an 18-foot sailboat that is 74 years old, having been built in 1891.

(Continued On Page Pour) Good Fishing ■ For Southport ; Charter Boats Two charter boat parties disembarked from their boats Tuesday happy because each had landed more than 20 king mackerel, a fair catch for this time of the year. The party that, was out with Capt. Albert Dosher on the Idle On in returned Tuesday with 65 king mackerel. Capt. Dick Skipper docked the Eva K with 48 kings aboard. Apparently king mackerel are not the only fish that find bait being trolled by charter boat anglers attractive this week.' Blueflsh, dolphin and Spanish mackerel are also finding their way into charter boat fish boxes. Capt. Albert Dosher started the Spanish mackerel ball roll ing Sunday by bringing in 160. He was doing a bit of chest thumping until Capt. Hoyle Dosher docked the Idle On n. He had 308 in his boxes. But the day was not over. Capt. Bill Coring was still out with the Bot Fly. The youngsters that dress the Spanish mackerel aboard the Bot Fly were ready to call it quits after 314 had been dressed. Capt.

They may sound a bit funny, but the year was 1935, and the story appeared in our August 14 issue. Other news from this vessel was that the pet fox that was her mascot has been lost at sea during the last trip out-side. Shipping had been plentiful during the past weekend, with five cargo vessels having passed through the Southport harbor in two days. The threat of fire to tobacco curing barns was dramatized by a front page picture showing one ablaze. The survey by state Highway engineers to determine the best route to be followed in paving Highway No. 130 from Shallotte to Whiteville had been completed, and the editor urged that politics and local jealousies be left out of the final decision in the hope that the project would be speeded to completion. The Border Belt Tobacco Market opened late in 1940—on August 20. A headline proclaimed that ‘'Whiteville’s Six Big Ware houses Await Opening Tuesday.” Completion of the paving pro ject on Highway No. 130 was announced just in time for Bruns wick farmers to haul their crop to market on hardsurfaced roads. A huge passenger liner had sought refuge in the Southport harbor. Sunday from a hurricane that caused a score of deaths and thousands of dollars in damage along the South Carolina coast. There was no damage in this area. Surf casting had been so good at Long Beach that there was serious talk of building a fishing pier; three Southport places of. business—McNeil’s Service Station, Hubbard’s Garage and Out law’s Store—had been entered by thieves; and the cast for a forth coming production by the Little Theatre Amateur Players of Southport included Leila Hubbard, Waters Thompson, Evelyn Loughlln, Myrtle Brown, Edmund Newton and Johnnie Simmons, among others. The year was 1945; the date was August 15; and the war was over. “PEACE IS HERE” said the biggest, blackest headline we have ever had in The Pilot. The post-war changeover to bigger boats with greater power on the part of the shrimpers had begun to pay dividends.

Tobacco Sales And Prices At All-Time High A boom year for Columbus tobacco growers will be had If the good record of the first seven days continues throughout the season. Averages of dally sales in warehouses in Whiteville, Chad bourn, Fair Bluff and Tabor City were above $60 per hundred every day last week. Through Friday, the last of seven sales days, the Whiteville market accrued a season’s aver age of $61.35 for the 5,909,166 pounds sold for $3,627,994. Sales on Monday, Thursday and Friday were heavy here, and the aver age for the whole week was $61.51. Tied leaf accounted for ap proximately one-third of the of ferings during the week in White ville, and Friday was the final day tor selling untied tobacco. Although approximately the same amount of tobacco was sold here last year during the first seven days, the average for the period was $43.12, as compared to $61.39 of the current season. Prices paid at the Border Belt markets In South Carolina this season have generally averaged above those of the Columbus sector, this being attributed to heavy rain damages suffered by farmers here during the pre cropping season. Season average of the North Carolina Border Belt markets is $63.75, while South Carolina’s is $64.52. Much East ern Belt tobacco sold on local markets has tended to hold the coverage down. The top prices paid by com panies last week was $75. Bulk of sales consisted of fair and good primings, low and fair lugs and nondescript. Many farmers of Columbus have already finished cropping, and others will probably end this phase this week. To date, deliveries to Stabili sation Corporation f#rom tte^ Border Belt was 7.1 per cent. Stabilization got 8.37 per cent from the Whiteville market. ASC Committee Election Plans Brunswick County farmers will vote in September for community committeemen that will serve for the next year.
