The Pilot Covers Brunswick County THE STATE PORT PILOT A Good Newspaper In A Good Community Most of the News All The Time VOLUME 38 No. 16 16>Pages Today SOUTHPORT, N. C. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28,1966 £ 5* A COPY PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY SKI-14*1 No. 12 Hole At Oak Island Golf Course DECEIVING — One of the most deceptive holes at Oak Island Golf Course is No. 12, a par three that looks like an easy place to make a birdie. It is — if you stay out of the woods, stay out of the trap (there are three guarding the green) and stay out of the pond. The fact is this hole is pretty to see and hard to play. In N.C. Open Rain Dampens Tournament Play Tom Case, professional at Sedgefield Country Club, shot a 68 today (Wednesday) in the first round of the Second Annual North Carolina-Open Golf Tournament for a one stroke lead over Gene Hamm. Four other golfers, in cluding defending champion Bill Harvey, , had one-under-par scores of 71 for the opening round. A strong wind during the early part of the day caused scores to be higher on the front nine of the Oceanside Oak Island course. Although the winds subsided during the afternoon, light rain began to fall. As play was completed the rain developed into a steady shower. Last year there were only three sub-par rounds during the three day tournament. Today in addi tion to the six sub-par rounds, Gene Thompson came in with a par 72. In addition to Harvey, players turning in a card of 71 for the day included Coke Trem mel, Larry Beck and Sonny George. Both George and Beck had a 32 for the back nine. Harvey, one of the state’s lead ing amateur golfers, led his division, with amateur Bill Hall with a 73 being his closest com petitor. Also in the 73-stroke bracket were Hamp Auld and Sonny Ridenhour. *** on, a tutcLi do piayers teed off in this second edition of a popular tournament for North Carolina professionals and leading amateurs. This is slightly under last year’s figure of 85 starters. Missing from the scene is Bob Spence, who is in Canada this week for the Canadian Open. (Continued on Page 4) AT WALTER REID Col. w. G.

Pancoast, Southport antique deal er, charging that his purchase of the George C. Grimes prop erty is invalid.

The road from South port to Caswell Beach was being paved, although rain that week had handicapped the project. Brunswick teachers had received their first month checks, adding between $11,000 and $12,000 to the economy of the county; the Whiteville tobacco market was to close on October 9 that year; and the editor had counseled everyone to forget business problems and politics and to get in the mood for the upcoming World Series, between the New York Giants and the New York Yankees that fall. The best fishing picture we ever saw was on the front page of The Pilot for October 1, 1941. It showed Capt. O. L. Hawks and Dave Roberts of the Outdoor Writers Association struggling with a 40-lb. red drum in hand-to-fin combat in the water off Bald Head Island. Later, this picture literally was published everywhere. The AWA had met here in Brunswick, and members of this nationalty famous organization had voted to come back for another session. Camellia Inn was being opened for paying guests; Daylight Saving Time had been abandoned for the season, causing more than a little commotion; and there was a birth announcement that week for Charles M. Trott, Jr. Fishing pictures have a way of making news in the fall, and in our issue for October 2, 1946, John F. Holden of Hclden Beach was shown with a big catch of sheephead. A record rainfall during Sep- , tember had amounted to 18.72-lnches; and one result had been a cave-in on Howe Street. j Plans were being considered to print an advertising folder for the county; the dispensary for the U.
