C„ Wednesday, May 5, 1971 In Our Opinion... Litterbuggers Feel Pinch State law enforcement people are making commendable progress in curbing the litterbug racket, but there is still a long way to go if our highways and streets would cease to be a dumping place for debris chunked out by the irresponsible. The Governor’s Beautification Committee reports that the counties of Mecklenburg, Gaston, Cum berland and Guilford placed highest in the state in the humber of citations issued by the State Higway Patrol in 1970 for anti-litter violatins. The record for last year shows that 1220 citations were issued in the state, that 1203 cases were tried, that 1086 defendants were found guilty and that 117 were either not guilty or nd pressed. The fact that the counties of Chowan, Jones, Perquimans and Gramham had no citations issued does not mean that litterbugging was not committed in those counties. The guilty parties, as there certainly were, escaped the view of patrolmen. In Columbus county, the Patrol issued five citations, six cases were tried, five were found guilty and one was either not guilty or nol prossed. It is safe to estimate that for every person cited to court for throwing trash on highways and sheets, a hundred guilty people were not run down and cited to court. In Bladen county 10 were cited, nine tried, eight found guilty and one got off without cost. Brunswick was way up on the list with 18,16,14 and two in the mentioned order. Title III Aids This County January, 1971, marked the ..beginning of the thirteenth year that North Carolina schools have been aided by funds from Title III of the National Defense Education Act (NDEA). The bill, enacted by Congress in 1958, has provided an accumulated total of $22,779,083.79 in federal funds for the purpose of improving instruction in various academic subjects in the elementary and secon dary school. All students in grades 1-12 in the public schools of North Carolina have benefited from NDEA Title III, according to Joseph B. Webb, State coordinator of the program. For the twelve-year period from 1958-1970 the Seventh Congressional District has received a total accumulated sum of $2,026,600.13. Within that district Brunswick County schools have received $43,680 of the total sum. According to Webb, local education agencies obtain money by submitting projects but they must be able to match federal funds with local funds. The money is used to buy equipment and materials to strengthen in struction in twelve academic areas. NDEA Title III money has been used specifically in North Carolina to acquire planetariums, video tape New Druggist (Continued Prom Page One) before enrolling at the medical school in Charleston. He was a young man of unusual scholastic ability, having finished at the head of his class at Louisburg and also at the Medical School of South Carolina. After finishing school he worked at Nye’s Pharmacy in Conway, S.C., until moving back to Brunswick. He is married to the former Sarah Lee of Conway and they have one son.

The bill does not allow the pur chase of consumable items, that is, items which are consumed in use during a one-year period, added Webb. Without the support from NDEA Title III North Carolina public schools would find it difficult to continue offering the experiences they now provide and to move toward more comprehensive programs in the future, said State Superintendent Craig Phillips. “During this period of tremendous change throughout our State, we must have all the resources possible to meet the needs of North Carolina’s school children,” Phillips said.

When asked about plans he may have to engage in the practice of obstetrics he said “I’ll be glad to do it if I can get two other doctors to agree also to become engaged in this practice. Otherwise, it is just too confining. I will even do better than that: I’ll do it with one other doctor if the hospital will agree to leave me off the emergency call list.” He estimates that he has delivered more than 2,000 babies in Brunswick County. That leaves the matter of restoration of this service at Dosher Memorial Hospital unanswered for the time being. Dr. Hornstein says he is pleased with improvements that have been made at that institution during his ab sence. “The new emergency room is great,” he praised, “and to have an outside doctor in charge on weekends is the best thing that ever has happened for the hospital staff.” Board Studies (Continued From Page One) program for the State Board of Health’s approval.

Davis. Times Marches On — to May 2, 1951, to be exact. A headline in The Pilot reported “Sport Fishing Is Improving Daily.” Bishop Thomas H. Wright was coming here to dedicate the educational building at St. Phillips Episcopal Church.

The anthology was named after one of the most popular children’s periodicals of the 19th cen tury, “Little Wide-Awake”. Over emphasis and exaggeration were the features of the Victorian age. This volume presents a fascinating panorama of the world of the children of a bygone era. Quite different from children’s books today! Doris and John D. O’Daniel presented four favorites that children love. THE LITTLE RED HEN with black and white illustrations by William Curtis Holdsworth has charm and appeal perfectly in keeping with this well-known nursery tale.

Over at Kirby’s Prescription Center it is Moe and Tommy and across the street it is Ed. The latter is not related to the other two... Incidentally, this bit of knowledge was pointed out to us by Ormond Leggett, whose late father was a pharmacist here. The USE Dredge Gerig thrilled a lot spectators Saturday as she deepened the channel close to the end of the City Pier.

Another vessel expected here this summer is the Mendota, which will be tied up there ^»Hng the Fourth of July Festival. A low-flying airplane made so much noise Monday night that waterfront residents in Southport rushed out to see if it were in trouble. Some said it was almost chimneytop high it must be that nothing was wrong, for we heard nothing more about it... One interesting sidelight to Saturday’s horse show was the number of horsemen who stole off from the activities at Taylor Field to ride their mounts over to the waterfront for a look at the Cape Fear River. Local residents thought it was fair ex change to be able to see the pretty horses. Walking along the beach up the river always is interesting, mostly because of the strange debris you find. We were up there Sunday and the best find we made was a broken bowne't, probably used by shad fishermen up the river. It was a strange looking, unwieldy contraption ... Like we said, Milwaukee put the Bullets out of their misery in a hurry in the NBA playoffs. It’s just as well, for after all this is the month of May. The new summer schedule for die Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry goes into effect on May 16.
