Bowman winning nomi nation for reelection as 8th Dis trict Solicitor and Odell William son being one of the two nomi nees for the 13th House District. Otherwise, the big news was the wide margin piled up Sheriff Ed W Leonard over David Swain, second place winner in this five man race. There was news, too, in the fact that two of the five members of the present board of county commissioners were casualties in Saturday’s voting. Paired with Williamson as a winner in the house race was Clyde Collier, who upset Rep resentative Arthur Williamson of Columbus county. Mrs. Crutchfield, also of Columbus, finished a strong fourth. In Brunswick voting Odell William son was way out front with 3107 votes, followed by Collier with 1743, Arthur Williamson with 1445 and Mrs. Crutchfield with 757. Bowman led all vote-getters in Brunswick when he received 3728 votes to 692 for Napoleon Barefoot in their contest for dis trict solicitor. In the race for sheriff Leonard piled up 1973 votes, Swain had 972, Daught Tripp 864, Woodrow Russ 820 and Johnnie Corbett 90. In the contest for county com missioner George T. Rourk had 2267 votes to 1680 for Dillon L. Ganey for commissioner from Northwest township. V. A.

Time And Tide Back in 1936 Vacation Bible School in Southport was a cooperative venture, with all Protestant Churches cooperating. Our June 3 issue reported that the Rev. J. D. Withrow was serving as superintendent *that year. May had been a dry month with Just 12-lnches of rainfall reported. The following Saturday was the date for the Democratic primary election. Register of Deeds R. I. Mintz was at a loss to explain the drop in the number of divorce actions and marriages in Brunswick during the first five months of the year; on the society page there appeared a lengthy writeup of the Kopp-Johnson wedding; and the editor was praising the efforts of his staff of country correspondents—in the obvious hope of adding to their number. June 4, 1941, and the menhaden boats were in operation here. In fact, a headline in The Pilot called the “Fish Boat Whistles Music In The Air,’ a group of Greensboro fishermen, taking advantage of the fishing fee plan at Orton pond, had come away with record catches of crapple and goggle-eye perch. Joe Leighton had played for the Southport Flower Show Ball during the past week and had made such a big hit that he and his orchestra had been booked for an engagement at Long Beach Pavilion. Marrying was in the news with a headline pointing out that “No Advantage for Couples To Leave State To Marry.” And once more May had been a hot, dry month. There was distressing news on the front page of The Pilot for May 29, 1946: Oak Island Coast Guard Station had gone on care taker status, with only two men in the crew. However, there was an added word that this move possibly was only temporary. The Demo cratic primary had been held on the previous Saturday, and a second race was in prospect. ^ A Southport couple, the late Mr. and Mrs. R. Will Davis, had ob served the 60th anniversary of their wedding; Governor Gregg Cherry had proposed that the State acquire Fort Caswell for use as a State Park; and merchants’still were having trouble supplying the demand (Continued on Page 4) Major Fisher Decorated HONORED — Army Maj.

Judge Mintz, an alumnus of North Carolina State, studied to be an engineer and turned later to the law. He first went into the court house as register of deeds of Brunswick county from 1931 to 1939. During that period, he studied law and, without formal training, passed the bar exams in 1939.
