Making Plans
For Headstart
In Brunswick
The 1970 Summer Headstart
Program for Brunswick County
is scheduled to begin at 8:30
a.m. on Monday, June 15, at
three centers: Brunswick
County-Southport High School,
Union School, and Lincoln
School.
This program is designed for
children of low-income families,
in order to provide them with
experiences and opportunities
that will help them understand
the world about them: through
touch, sight and sound; through
work and play; through talks
and action; through fun and
love; thus helping them to
become aware of not only their
own potentials, but that of
others, and to develop a sense of
security and belonging,
demonstrating that a child will
learn, through affection, through
love, through patience, through
understanding, through
belonging, and through doing
and beings.
The Summer Head Start
program will include, in part; (1)
medical and dental services, (2)
nutritional services—a
mid-morning snack and a
balanced mid-day type “A”
lunch, (3) Social and emotional
assistance, as well as activities
designed for mental
development.
There will be eight school
buses in service to transport
Head Start children. The
transportation will of necessity
be limited to the main roads,
and in many instances, the
regular bus routes,
accommodating the most
children possible. Therefore
parents are urged to get their
children to the nearest bus
routes.
There will be four buses
serving the Union center: One
bus will start in the
Vamumtown area, one in the
Thomasboro area, one in the
Longwood area, and one starting
out of the Ash area, all these
following practically the same
bus routes as during last
summer’s program.
There will be two buses serving
the Southport center: One
starling in the Bolivia area, and

CANCELLATION
As an aftermath of several
incidents which occurred at
Brunswick County-Southport
High School on Tuesday school
officials have cancelled the final
two days of this term.
Report cards and diplomas will
be mailed to the students.
Bellamy And Moore
Win Nominations
Clinton Bellamy defeated
Franklin Randolph for the
Democratic nomination for
sheriff in a Second Primary
election held in Brunswick
county Saturday and Jerry
Moore emerged the winner in a
contest with Jesse Bryant for the
Democratic nomination for
County Commissioner from
Lockwoods Folly Township.
Bellamy polled 2644 votes to
1264 for Randolph, although
the latter was high man in four
of the 18 precincts. Moore piled
up 2601 votes to 1231 for
Bryant, who was high man in
five precincts.
These were the only contests
in a Second Primary election
which drew more than 4,000
voters, considered to be an
unusually large tum-out for a
run-off.
N omination of these two
candidates completes the roster
for the Democratic ticket this
fall. In the contest for County
Commissioner only Shallotte
township will not be represented
on the Democrat slate.

‘ Superintendent
Salary Is Tops
For Brunswick
Have you considered giving up
your present job and going to
work for the government?
Before you made such a
decision you probably would
want to know more about the
monetary benefits; the Institute
of Government at Chapel Hill
has published a survey by
Elizabeth Pace entitled “County
Salaries in North Carolina” that
contains the pertinent
information.
The highest paid employee in
Brunswick County is the
superintendent of schools. He is
paid $11,892 and none of this is
paid by the county.
Next is the agriculture
extension chairman, who is paid
$11,574. Of this total, $3,236 is
paid by the county; the
remainder is paid by the state.

Several Local
Law Agencies
Get Equipment
The Brunswick County
Sheriff’s Department and three
police departments will receive
needed equipment that
previously was not available
because of limited budgets.
County and five town
governments will have to make
financial contributions toward
the purchases; however, the
federal government will pay the
bulk of the bills.
Allocations for the sheriff’s
department and police units at
Southport, Yaupon Beach and
Holdens Beach were announced
Thursday night during a meeting
of the four-county Fifth Judicial
District Hanning Unit that
comprises peace enforcement
agencies in Brunswick,
Columbus, Pender and New
Hanover counties.
The Fifth District Planning
Unit budget was approved, with
Brunswick County’s share of
contribution to be $101.
Southport, Shallotte, Long
Beach, Yaupon Beach and
Holdens Beach must contribute
$5 each.
The local share is based on
population, with communities
with populations less than 2,500
paying $5.
Funds for the district were
allocated through the Governor’s
Committee on Law and Order
from money made available
through the Omnimous Crime
BUI.
Items approved for purchase
by the Brunswick County’s
sheriff department will cost
$3,644.40 of which the county
will pay only $14,403.85. The
equipment and supplies include
riot helmets, riot shotguns, four
mobile radio units, portable

e And Tide
The three Brunswick county doctors made the front page of The
Pilot for May 29, 1935. Shown standing together on the front steps
of the local hospital were Dr. Williams S. Dosher and the late Dr. J.
Arthur Dosher. There was a separate picture of the late Dr. W.R.
Goley of Shallotte. The Brunswick County Health Queen Contest
had ended in a tie, the winners being Marie Cooper of Longwood
and Pauline Ward of the nearby Regan community.
A community Vacation Bible School was in progress at the high
school, with a total enrollment of 131 students. Things were busy at
the Brunswick County Hospital (later Dosher Memorial) with 7
operations for removal of appendix having been performed in one
week. Also on the health front was the distressing news that there
were three cases of scarlet fever in town.
May 29, 1940, and headlines in The Pilot of that week spoke of
primary election returns. In one case it had resulted in the
nomination of J. Melville Broughton of Raleigh for Governor; and
here in Brunswick a second primary race had been set up between
Bill Wells and Bumice Russ for the Democratic nomination for
Register of Deeds.
Road work was going on in the county, with Highway No. 130
being resurfaced from Southport to Supply and U.S. No. 17 being
recoated all the way from Grissettown to Brunswick River bridge
intersection. An automatic “hog greaser” had been purchased and
installed on Bald Head Island, and this was expected to bring relief
from ticks and lice to the swine population on the nearby tropical
island. There were plans afoot for a reunion of the C.T. Battalion
organized during World War I at Ft. Caswell.
Even back in 1945, June was being celebrated as Dairy Month in
North Carolina, and a front page picture in our issue of May 30

held at regular polling places and
will begin at 1 p.m., announced
Mrs. Foster Mintz, chairman of
the Brunswick County
Democratic Executive
Committee.
“This is organizational month
for the Democratic Party”, Mrs.
Mintz said, explaining that the
party’s biennial county meeting
will be held on June 20 at 1 p.m.
and the Congressional District
Meeting will be held on June 27
in Fayetteville at 1:00 p.m. All
these meetings precede the State
Democratic Convention in
Raleigh on Thursday, July 14.
Mrs. Mintz pointed out that
only registered Democrats or
those persons between the ages
of 18 and 21 who declare
themselves as Democrats in
writing to the precinct or county
chairman may participate.
Officers to be elected at the
precinct meetings, at which 10 is
considered a quorum, are a
chairman; a 1st vice-chairman,
who must be of the opposite sex
from the chairman, a 2nd
vice-chairman, who must be of
another race if th.e chairman and
1st vice-chairman are of the
same race and there are as many
as 20% of the registered
Democratic voters of that other
race in the given precinct; a 3rd
vice-chairman, 30 years of age or
under if none of the preceding
officers is 30 years or under; and
a secretary-treasurer.
Precincts which do not have
a quorum are allowed to have a
make-up meeting on June 13,
but if at this time the precinct is
not organized the precinct loses
its vote at the county meeting.
