Joe Jelks of Southport was to be a member of the 140-member graduating class at Wake Forest College. Good progress was reported on the renovation of the old frame high school building in Franklin Square, now in the process of being made into a city hall and community center. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Hood and son had moved back to Southport from Bald Head Island; and Shallotte Trading Co. (Kirby’s) had a special on ice cream freezers. The May 28, 1941, edition of The Pilot carried the headline: “Rural Electrification Program Six Years Old”. Members of the N. C. Bird Club had held a meeting in Brunswick county and had visited Orton, Battery Island and Bald Head Island, among other places. Announce ment had been made that Orton pond would be open to the public, for a fee. The late FDR had given up on his purpose to advance the accepted date for Thanksgiving and had announced that henceforth the observ ance would be on the last Thursday in November.

Each year 400 outstanding students are chosen in areas of academic (Continued on Page 4) Saturday’s voting in Bruns wick county is more than aDemo cratic Primary, for it involves a general election for two va cancies on the Board of Educa tion and any registered voter is eligible to participate. Candidates are Homer Holden, incumbent, and Homer King, seeking election from the Bolivia School District; and O. Kendall Bellamy, incumbent, and Norman Bellamy from the Shallotte School District.

Mason, Dis trict Manager of Social Security in Wilmington, said this week on releasing his annual county benefit data report. The new monthly figure rep resents an increase of above 15 per cent over the corre sponding period last year. "This increase can be attrib uted to the changes in the law in recent years, as well as to the growth in our aged popula tion," Mr. Mason said. "This money stimulates county busi ness; most of it is spent for food, clothing, and shelter.” “There is no longer anydoubt. Social Security benefits are helping to stabilize the income and spending power of many resi dents in Brunswick County.’ Monthly benefits first became payable in January 1940, and they have continued without interrup tion for years, accompanied by a steady growth in the number of beneficiaries. Mason noted that as of December 31, 1965, some 2,741 Brunswick county citizens were collecting about $140,318 annually from Social Security, an increase of about 15 per cent over the same date in 1964. More people in Brunswick county, he said, could dr aw Social Security benefits if they know more about the law, and for that reason, they are urged to visit or call the local Social Security Office whenever they have a question concerning their bene-, fits or responsibilities. The following table shows the number and amount of each type of monthly benefit paid in Bruns wick County as of December 31, 1965: Retired worker, 1,052, $68, 973; wife or husband, 354, $10, 319; widow or widower, 244, $13,917; mothers and children, 596, $23,980; disabled workers and dependents, 488, $22,645. Stevens Talks To Lions Club Brunswick county citizens were urged to put on their coat and ties to welcome tourists this season by Roy A. Stevens, direc tor of the Resources Develop ment Commission. Stevens speaking to the South port Lions Club Thursday night, urged citizens to meet each tourist as if he were a personal guest. He quoted statistics showing that the tourist income in the county had increased from $289,000 in 1948 to $1,738,000 in 1965. “We have enjoyed a tremendous increase,” Stevens stated, “but we have only scratched the surface of the po tential. While attending the Chicago Travel Show, I had an opportunity to talk about the many points of interest and later send additional information on Bruns wick county.” The advertising program of Brunswick county was outlined by Stevens, which Included the outdoor advertising sign pro gram, a full page ad in the North Carolina Travelbook and other special publications. “We recently answered an inquiry from Belguim, which we can tract directly to the Travel book,” Stevens stated.
