Club Renews Ef County 911 Erne Efforts to obtain a 911 emergency service in Brunswick County haven't lapsed. Approximately 25 people attended a meeting of concerned citizens last Wednesday sponsored by the Pilot Club of South Brunswick Islands. "We're not dropping it by any means," said Pilot President Gail Seagle. "Everyone's just real gungho. We hope we can go on and get it implemented, especially since we're a resort area. Departments get a lot of wrong calls... if we had 911 it would be wonderful." With a 911 system, callers would simpiy oiai tnosc three numbers from anywhere in the county to obtain a variety of emergency services?fire, rescue or law enforcement. The system is often combined with centralized dispatching of units and a computer information system that immediately provides the location from which the call is originating. The Pilot Club began pushing for a 911 system more than a year ago. This year it will continue its efforts, working in conjunction with the Brunswick County Fire and Rescue Association, which has taken on 911 as a major project, added Mrs. Seagle. Representatives of the Pilot Club plan to attend a 7:3(1 p.m. meeting today (Thursday) of the Fire and Rescue Association at the Supply Volunteer Fire Department to help organize efforts and gain support.

Sacro-iliac slip is often caused by exertion in the form of attempting to lift too bulky a load. However, it can happen from a relatively innocent act such as stepping off a curbstone unexpectedly. Pregnant women are especially susceptible to sacro-iliac slip since the joints of the pelvic regions undergo a gradual softening process just prior to the time of birth. Few people actually know what the sacro-iliac is, but for the sake of simplicity it can lie described as the joint between the spine and the hipbone. This joint is ordinarily so firm that for centuries it was Fi WEBSTER FAI liny. l?9t next to Brunswick Build I fort To Obtain jrgency Service missioner Jim Poole and Fire and Rescue Association members Tuesday on a trip to Wilmington to look at the New Hanover County 911 system.

Also, Dr. Harry L. Johnson, director of emergency services, for The Brunswick Hospital, offered its support of the 911 system. Sheriff John Carr Davis suggested the Pilot Club contact candidates of both the Democratic and Republican parties asking for their support and action on behalf of the 911 system and its implementation. Mrs. Seagle said the county commissioners are interested in implementing the 911 system, but are "dragging their feet" on the countywide mapping project they say must be completed first.

This is probably a safely factor provided by nature to avoid fracture to another bone. Symptoms of sacro-iliac slip may appear immediately, or may be delayed for some time. Indeed, the victim may not even equate these symptoms to the cause due to the passage of time. Many people have suffered for months or even years, undergoing treatments for various other ailments when the actual trouble happens to be sacroiliac slip. Any persistent or recurring aches in the lower limbs may be indicated of sacro-iliac trouble and the victim should immediately contact a Doctor of Chiropractic. or further information call or contact: WILY CHIROPRAC1 illR SUppliCS IfM I Ml ISUNtWK* MACON I Yard Earns M Well-tended beds of flowers and shrubs for birds surrounded the home of Ann i Street, Ocean Isle Beach, recipients of from the Long Bay Garden Club.
