When i first ran fo r Congress
In 1960, my only promise was to
do the best I could to serve all
of the people of the third con
Sresslonal district. I have kept
tat promise.
I believe my voting record
reflects the independent thought
and action the people of the dis
trict want and expect of their
Representative In the nation's
capitol.
We have made some real
progress In the third district
during the past eight years, and
I want to see this progress con
tinued.
We have gotten congressional
. autorlzatlon for the establish
ment of the new Cape Lookout
National Seashore and obtained
considerable federal assistance
In the expansion of our port
facility at Morehead City toge

Just
Parading
Around ?
Nobody heard the fire alarm
Wednesday so most folks sur
mised the department was just
parading around town. But
sometime there is more involv
ed than meets the. eye.
Hlrjgp Br^son, captalnyfthe
Kenans viiie W.-e Department,
went to -the trash pile to ex
tinguish a small blaze that had
jumped across to a nearby
cemetery. The fire was thought
to be small enough that one man
and plenty of water could con
trol it.
Once at the scene of the fire
Hiram immediately called for
help. Tyson Bostic and Joe
Quinn reported, on the double,
still no alarm was sounded.
Before the firemen and equip
ment returned to the fire house.
Co-Captain, Billy Stephens ra
dioed for them to go at once
to the home of Mrs. Perry
Dobson to extinguish a grass
fire. A second call from Mrs.
Dobson relayed to the firemen,
said her pack house was on
fire.
Upon arrival at the scene of
this fire, not only was Mrs.
Dobson's pack house on tire,
but the packhouse of Willard
Brinson, her next door neigh
bors, was on fire also.
With these fires quickly ex -
tinguished the department start
ed again to the fire house by way
of the old depot, and you guessed
it, the little house known as the
old Nazelrod house belongingto
Meredith F arrior was on fire.
The damages were very mi
nor from either of the fires
which required 1100 gallons
of water to extinquish.
And all the time Johnny of
Public thought the Fire De
partment was "Just Parading
Around."
The BIG W. official insignia of Waccatnsw
Bank and Trust Company was recently Installed
at the E?ks Kenansvllle office. Waccamaw
