A contract for that amount has been authorized by the North Carolina Department of Water and Air Resources, according to Edward Liggett, acting city manager of Long Beach. The erosion control will involve groins, a system of nylon bags filled with sand placed together to form a break-water extending perpendicular to the beach. An experimental groin was placed near Ljckwood Folly Inlet earlier, along with a groin at the east end of Judge Bowman Assumes Duties Judge James C. Bowman has been appointed Ad ministrative Law Judge for the Bureau of Hearing and Appeals of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare with headquarters in Greensboro and last week began the performance of his new duties on temporary assignment to the Raleigh office. Judge Bowman reported to Washington, D. C. for an intensive orientation course on August 28 and entered upon his active duties on October 13, immediately following the indoctrination period. With headquarters in Greensboro, his duties will be in the area served by the Middle District Freders! Court and this will necessitate his moving his residence to Guilford County. He has been engaged in the practice of law at Southport since last summer, when Governor Bob Scott failed to reappoint him as a special Superior Court Judge. He had held that position for the previous four years under governor Dan K. Moore. Judge Bowman estimates that about 80 percent of the cases he will hear will be appeals from disability payments and Social Security accounts. He will hear the evidence without benefit of a jury and will write his decision, sending a copy of his findings to the claimant who may appeal to the Federal court if he desires. Other areas of activity may include condemnation proceedings, busing, welfare appeals and civil rights cases. Judge Bowman’s ap pointment bears the designation career absolute, meaning he cannot be discharged except for failure to perform his duties or matters involving his character. He has had 19 years prior service in various branches of the Federal govenment. (Continued On Page Seven) Yaupon Beach. Holden Beach, across Lockwood Folly Inlet from Long Beach, received its first groin a year ago and since has established a series of such groins along its strand. The groins at Long Beach will be constructed by Coastal Erosion Control, a Greenville-based company that also was responsible for the groins at Holden Beach. Sub-contracts were let for that project, and a local contractor is expected to perform the Long Beach work also. Liggett said IS groins will be constructed on the Lock wood Folly Inlet end of the beach, each being composed of about 75 nylon bags. Life expectancy of the bags is 30 years. The bags will be placed in a line perpendicular to the Meeting Set For Hospital An effort is being made to create interest in the official hospital auxiliary at Dosher Memorial Hospital as part of the national program of hospital volunteer services.

Holden Beach has noted considerable improvement since the groins were in stalled there, and the single groin near the inlet appears to have have had a positive affect on the Long Beach strand.

Pfizer’s decision to move ahead with final engineering studies came as the Brun swick County Commission advanced plans for a $5 million county water project to supply long-term water needs for the county and the proposed citric acid plant. The water system would be jointly financed by a $2 million grant from the Economic Develpment Administration and a $500,000 grant from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The remaining funds would be obtained from the Federal Hosuing Administration through issuance of about $2.5 million in self-liquidating revenue bonds. Pfizer is negotiating for a long-term contract for water supply. The water supply project being studied by the Brun swick County Commissioners would include a reservoir for use in dry seasons and ultimately will be part of a four-county regional system Club Honors Charter Lion Four members of the Southport Loins Club were honored Thursday night at a meeting which featured the appears,, je of District Governor Seldon Raynes of Kinston.

Citric acid, a naturally occurring chemical found in many fruits and vegetables, is used increasingly as an acidulant in foods, beverages and pharmaceuticals.

The company has a total of 86 plants in 34 countries and has sales and marketing facilities in more than 100 lands. In 1971, the company reported sales of more than $951 million.
