(Continued On Page Pour) Soil Supervisors Meet At Calabash The Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisors in the 16 southeastern counties held their Annual Fall Rally at the Dixie Restaurant in Calabash last Monday night Two hundred and sixty-two supervisors attended. Uncle Charlie Savemore, Jay Worrell and the Hickman Brothers provided excellent entertainment. The out-of-the-county visitors appeared to be favorably impressed with the Calabash seafood. Oliver Croom, area president, presided. James Bellamy, Jr., chairman of the Brunswick District, gave the welcome. Jim Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture, introduced the featured speaker, Senator John J. Burney, Jr., of Wilmington. In his talk, Senator Burney emphasized the importance of Time And Tide It was November 15, 1939, and there was brief mention that week of the possible discovery of oil in South Carolina near the Brunswick line. There was no local evidence to support the rumor, and most thoughts ran, “It would have been nice”—the rumor had started in Oklahoma. Methodist assignments had gone out again, and the Re,v. R.S. Harrison was coming to Southport; the flytrap story had been circulated as far west as Wells, Nevada; and a headline misleadingly stated “Chances of Escaping Prison in State One in Thousand.” Local trawlers, any many others from the upper coast, had returned to Southport to take advantage of a new run of shrimp; a frost, though not killing, had covered the county, including Bald Head Island: Bill Kopp and Jim Finch were constructing business houses in Bolivia, Elizabeth Watson had been the most recent hostess for the Tuesday. Night Bridge Club; and “Son John”, a four act comedy starring Edmund Newton and Harold Aldridge, would be presented soon by the Southport Dramatic Club. It was November 15, 1944, and the migratory shrimp were rolling over the shoals. The top daily catch for the week had numbered 100 bushels. The migratory menhaden were rolling elsewhere, and the entire Southport fleet had left the weekend before* for the Beaufort-Morehead area. The Rev. R.S. Harrison had been transferred to Cary; the mailing date for overseas Christmas packages had been set for the first of December; and Herbert Rogers were reported to have the best coon dogs in town. Citizens had the opportunity to view a near-tragedy across the river only days b^ore. A disabled Army fighter plane had u^h’lani?ed Strand near 0ak Island Coast Guard Station. W.T. FuUwood had corrected an item in the preceeding issue, saying that Harold A,dr'd8e was serving in France with the 2nd Army; Mrs. Hettie Arthur had been hostess to the Susanna Wesley circle; and all the losers in the recent election were being commended for their (Continued On Page FVdut) tourism to Southeastern North Carolina and the necessity of maintaining an attractive place for ourselves and tourist through the conservation of our natural resources. Each year, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company presents awards to outstanding conservation districts. The Wayne County supervisors received the Goodyear Award this year and were presented a plaque. Fred Barbee from Onslow county was elected president for the coming year. Whiteville Man Addresses NCEA Free competition and integrity in the marketplace is the goal of the recently-formed Consumer Protection Division, according to Maurice Horne, special assistant to State Attorney General Robert Morgan, who spoke to the Brunswick County North Carolina Education Association at its annual meeting Thursday night. Horne is a Whiteville native and worked as a Corporations Attorney for the Department of State. He is a former law clerk and research assistant for the U.S. District Court and was a chaplain’s assistant while in the Army at Fort Benning, Georgia. In his speech Thursday night to the Brunswick County NCEA at the Terra Mar Restaurant in Little River, South Carolina, Horne stressed that the Consumer Protection Division was not intended to regulate business, but to preserve the free competition and honesty in state arkets. He -aid the idea of consumer protection is not new, but there is a new emphasis in North Carolina because of the efforts of Attorney General Morgan and new legislation enacted by the 1969 General Assembly. “The three basic areas with which the Consumer Protection Division is concerned are (Oontlnuad On Pa*e Two) ‘Nickels’ Vote Scheduled For November 25 Users of feed and fertilizer are urged to vote in the “Nickels for Know-How” referendum November 25. The purpose of the referendum is to decide whether or not to continue the “Nickels Program” that has been in effect since 1951. Under this program a nickel is added to the cost of each ton of feed or fertilizer solf in North Carolina and is collected from the manufacturers that sell in North Carolina. The funds are not collected from the individual buyers of feed and fertilizer; however, the user may obtain a refund of his nickels by submitting his bills to the N.C. Department of Agriculture. Funds collected under this program are used to support areas of agricultural research and education that arePnot provided for by tax money. With this program, new projects can be initiated without having to wait two to four years for a special appropration by the legislature. Already the program has supported progress in such fields as animal nutrition, tobacco, insect control, black.shank and other - tobacco diseases, vegetables, poultry physiology, nematodes; soybeans, cotton, corn and forage crops. Graduate assistants have also wuifteu m areas 10 improve marketing of agricultural products, to improve family nutrition and to speed the development of new machines to help with farm mechanization. A favorable vote will continue the program for another six years. In the last referendum over 95% of the users of feed and fertilizer voted to support the “Nickels Program.” Polling places in Brunswick will — ber- County ExterfiJoff Office, ASCS Office, Washam, Warlick and Harrelson Farm Supply, Brunswick Livestock Auction, Bennett Trading Company, Lonnie Evans Store, Delmas Farm Supply, Jenrette Grocery, Parkers Store, Forest Williams Store, A.P.

Keziah Youth Award Nominee The Brunswick County Morehead Selection Committee announced Monday that Pat Keziah, senior at Shallotte High School is the Brunswick County nominee for a Morehead Award at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In making the announcement, Ernest E. Parker, Jr., chairman of the Brunswick County committee commended Keziah and indicated he thought there was a good possibility that he would advance to the finals in Morehead competition. The nominee is the son of principal and Mrs, J.T. Keziah of Shallotte and recently made a trip to Chicago in essay competition staged by Carolina Power and Light Company on (Continued On Page Pour) "You Should Have Been Here Yesterday" This was the roadside scene near Southport Tuesday afternoon when scores of Pf,rsons helped themselves to thousands of blackfish that had been left in the ditch after a seafood truck overturned near the blueberry farm.

Rourk as a member from the First Ward. Hufham will fill this unexpired term, which ends in 1971. Rourk is a veteran member of the board, having completed 10 years of service in this capacity. Recent poor health was given as his reason for resigning. Motion for the appointment of Hufham was made by Alderman Herman Strong and seconded by W.P: ■ Horne. The vote was unanimous. When the matter of the new Zoning and Planning Ordinance came up, Mayor E.B. Tomlinson said that he would table this matter and appoint a committee from the board to confer with the Zoning and Planning Commission. Named to this committee were Mrs. Dorothy Gilbert, T.H. Dosher and Horne. Plans to complete curb and gutters from the stoplight to the city limits were discussed and property owners who will be affected will be called into a conference on this matter.

Following is the text of the letter, written by James M. Wolfe to the Seventh District Congressman: ‘‘On the Huntley-Brinkley news the evening of November Mrs. Redwine Heads Campaign Mrs. Doris Redwine of Shallotte has been appointed Brunswick Heart Fund chairman for the 1970 Heart Fund campaign. The appointment was announced today by Mrs. Freeman Hewett, Heart Fund president Mrs. Redwine will recruit all the city chairmen and the rural Heart Fund director with other special chairmen as she sees fit. Heart Fund solicitations will be held in February, Heart Month, when the North Carolina and American Heart Associations conduct their annual campaign. Contributions to the Heart Fund go to the Heart Association programs in research, public education and community service. Mrs. Redwine makes her home in Shallotte with her husband, Edd, a rural mail carrier and farmer, and two daughters, Wendy and Cathy, students at Shallotte High School. Their son Butch is a senior at East Carolina University. She is church musician at Shallotte Baptist Church, very active in church and civic affairs and is the bookkeeper at Brunswick Electric Membership Corp, a position she has held for many (Continued On Page Pour) 7, 1969 there was a doctor speaking about the cut in funds for cancer research. I did not catch his name, but on November 8, 1969 Dr. Jonathan E. Rhoads had released an article to the Raleigh News and Observer. I assumed it was the same man. Enclosed is a copy of the news release. “Dr. Rhoads is president of the American Cancer Society. He states that the budget recommendations for the National Cancer Institute is entirely inadequate. Due to the cut in the federal appropriation, he says that cancer research wiU be hampered. i uuicvc yviu Mitw iny sun, James L. Wolfe, Sr. He was Agency Sales Manager of Security Life and Trust Company (Integon Corporation) His office was next to yours in Peoples Savings and Loan building in Wilmington, N.C. I know you must know how I felt when I heard Dr. Rhoads’ statement on November 7, one month to the day after my son had died from cancer. You probably knew him as Jim Wolfe. His mother and I and the rest of our family have always called him Larry. “Larry fought this cancer as hard as any man has ever fought anything. He spent thousands of dollars trying to find a cure. Larry knew God, believed in Him, but did not sit at home and expect God to feed him and his family. He used his God-given talent to make a better life for himself and all the people with whom he came in contact. From the time he was a small boy delivering the Grit around Southport to the day he lost his fight with cancer, he never gave up or said ‘I can’t.’ In his life there was no ‘I can’t’. “He left Southport High School to make the Dean’s List at U.N.C., Chapel Hill, graduating from U.N.C. with the honor of achieving the highest (Continued On Page Ten) Commissioners Hear Requests For New Jail A delegation comprised of several members of the local bar came before the Board of County Commissioners in session here Monday to discuss the jail situation. District Judge Ray Walton acted as spokesman for this group. He pointed out Columbus County’s similar problem and the fact that their jail has recently been condemned and closed. The bar urged the board to take steps to provide adequate facilities in Brunswick county and promised their help and cooperation in helping to make this possible. The board reminded the bar that a jail bond issue was defeated in a recent election. However, realizing the need and urgency of this situation the board agreed to set the proper machinery in motion to submit another bond issue to the electorate of the County, this election to be held at the next regular election, this being the primary election to be held in May. Dr. Thomas L. Linton, Commissioner of State of North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development, and several members of his staff came before the board and explained House Bill 1101 which was ratified by the 1969 Session of the North Carolina General Assembly. This act directs the commissioners to make a comprehensive study of the estuarines of North Carolina and for related purposes. The board assured Dr. Linton of the board’s cooperation in this study. He also was referred to the County Planning Board, which he was assured would cooperate with him. The board received a request from Carolina Power and Light Company ana Brown & Root contractors at the new power plant near Southport, asking them to request the State (Continued On Page Pour) Tide Table Following Is the tide table for Southport daring the week.
