CAROL WILLIS Time And Tide There’s no question about it, spring is the time when a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of an island paradise—and this thinking was flourishing in May 1939. The Marietta (Ohio) College group was featured in a front page photo in our issue of May 10, and another story foretold the coming of a delegation of professors and students from Duke. The late Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, president-emeritus of the Audubon Society, was back in Southport for visit, recalling the days when much of his early study of birds was carried out on Battery Island. Even in those days it was nice to receive attention in The State magazine, and a front page story told of the recent visit—and resulting write-up-of Editor Carl Goerch. Mrs. L. T. Yaskell had been named chairman of the Poppy Sales; Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra were to play on the following Tuesday night of the skull of a strange creature over on Bald Head Island (again) had led to the facetious headline; “May Be The Skull of a Mermaid.” There was good news for sports fishermen in our issue of May 10, 1944, for the Coast Guard had removed restrictions on outside fishing. There was fuel for the imagination in the front page picture of that week, which showed some of the biggest fish ever caught here. The sobering information in the cutlines, however, revealed that this particular catch had been made in pre-war times by members of the Outdoor Writers of America while on a convention-vacation here.

Pier Proceeds Go To Hospital Fund Dosher Memorial Hospital Days will be observed at Long Beach Fishing Pier May 19-25, with all proceeds from daily sales of tickets going to the local hospital. In addition to usual tickets which will be on sale at the pier, a special order is being printed to be sold by volunteers at several locations in the county. This benefit is being made possible through the generosity of the new pier- owners, Brunswick Coastal Properties, Inc., of which William T. Watkins of Falls Church, Va., is the president. Carl Watkins is pier manager. The present owners purchased this property from Harvey Ratcliffe in February, but he still owns and operates the motel located across the highway from the pier. President Watkins said this week “We have tried to continue the operations with as many of the previous employees as possible. We hope to furnish our customers the finest fishing and related services available anywhere.” One new service at the pier is an electric fish scaling machine for which Watkins holds the sub-franchise. He says he first saw one of these machines in operation in Texas and that they are very well pleased with its operation thus far. PAUL BRUMMETT School Man In New Category Paul Brummett, High School Supervisor for Brunswick County, has been notified by Dr. Charles Nicholson of the Division of Psychological Services, State Department of Education, that he has been certified as a psychological evluator in the placement of Special Education students. Dr. Nicholson stated that the State Department no longer assumes the responsibility of the placement of retarded children. (Continued On Pag* Four) Lennon Gets Reasons For Boat Transfer In response to inquiry which he made with regard to the proposed transfer of the Cape Upright, 95-foot Coast Guard Patrol Craft, from Southport to Wrightsville Beach, congressman Alton Lennon has been furnished the following summary by Chpt. William Kesler, Jr., chief of the Legislative Affairs Division: “The transfer will not be detrimental to the search and rescue coverage in the Southport area for the following reasons: The 44’ Motor Lifeboat presently assigned to the Coast Guard Station Oak Island is capable of handling the vast majority of SAR calls received in the area, and especially those between Cape Fear and the North Carolina State Line at Little River Inlet in Long Bay, close inshore. While the 44’ MLB is not quite as fast as the CAPE UPRIGHT in clam water, it is more seaworthy in that it can operate in heavier breaking seas, and is capable of being capsized and righting itself without damage. There have been two incidents this year on the Washington and Oregon Coasts where a 44’ MLB was capsized Dy giant breakers, and after righting, continued with the case. The 30’ Utility Boat also attached to Oak Island is capable of handling the cases which occur in the Cape Fear River, thereby leaving the 44’ MLB available for offshore cases. “The built-in fire fighting capability of the 44’ MLB, augmented by a 250 gpm portable gasoline fire pump, is substantially equivalent to that of the CAPE UPRIGHT. The equipment has foam adaptors, like the larger vessel, for smothering fuel fires in boats. “A plot of the SAR incidents for fiscal years 1967 , 68 and ' part of 69 reveals that the majority of cases responded by the CAPE UPRIGHT were east or north of Cape Fear, seaward at distances that made them beyond the practicable operating (Oomttaued On Page Flour) Roy Mintz of Shallotte has been named assistant secretary and treasurer of Security Savings and Loan Association and will serve as manager of the Shallotte branch office.
