He was quick to grasp the implications of new problems with which he was faced as a re sult of the ever changing situa tions inherent in a counterin surgency operation and to find ways and means to solve those problems. The energetic appli cation of his extensive knowledge has materially contributed to the efforts of the United States mis sion to the Republic of Viet Nam to assist that country in ridding itself of the Communist threat to its freedom.” SSG Caison entered the Army in 1957 and, subsequently, served in Germany, France and Korea in addition to service in the states.

Navy Submarine Perch as a visitor here the following day. There was a front page streamer In The Pilot saying so, and a story de tailing some of the entertainment that had been planned for officers and members of the crew. Offices for the City of Southport had been moved into the first floor of the Old Southport High School building in Franklin Square. That big, frame building had been abandoned several years previous ly as suitable quarters for a school, but had been renovated with WPA funds for use by the American Legion and the city administration, a decision had been reached not to dynamite the wreck of the Greek ship Mount Dirfys, which had sunk in Frying Pan Shoals a few weeks pre viously. This was good news for fishermen, for it preserved new feeding grounds for game fish which feed on barnacles. Front page news in The Pilot for January 14, 1942, told of wartime restrictions: Tire rationing was in order, and only two certificates for the purchase of new tires had been issued; there was a great demand for scrap metal, and drivers for collection were on; and the county agent was warning farmers to protect and plan to get full use from their farm machinery. A front page headline: “Weather Is Good For Hog Killing”; some shrimp were being caught here, with enough sea mullet showing up in the catches to make boat operations profitable; and A. E. Huntley of Oak Island Coast Guard station had led a picked team of bowlers to victory over a Southport contingent. January 15, 1947, and Rudolph Mintz and Odell Williamson had gone to Raleigh—the former as a member of the State Senate, the latter as Representative. A Lions Club had been organized at Shal lotte and Henry C, Stone had been elected the first president. One Southport charter boatman who had made provision against a shortage of shrimp for use in fishing over the wrecks was Capt. H. T. Bowmer, who had frozen 500-5 lb. packages.

He had just returned from duty as a military policeman in Siagon, where he was stationed for 11 months. His family had expected his return to the States early in February, but through a techni cality in the rotation system the Southport boy beat the deadline by a few days.

The sale of two driver educa tion automobiles for $1250 each through the State Dispensing Agency was approved. The board discussed making a survey to determine if it is en titled to funds under Public Law No. 874, a source of financial assistance for school units in areas where there is a large population connected with mili tary service.
