tender my resignation as an employe
of Wrightsville Beach effective when
the board Of aldermen may select
with the understanding I may be
| allowed one months salary"
Mayor Dan Herring said the &C.
ceptance of the resignation "is the
result of an accumulation of things
for a period of nine months and -.
well, his failure to do the thing
for which we hired him."
A successor to Flick was not i'm
mediately selected. Only applicant
who has made a written application
for the job is c. D. Hare, formerly
of the Wilmington police force.
The board voted to appropriate the
sum of $500 out of its next years
budget for the Wrightsville Beach
board of trade, with the under
standing that sum is to be all the
town is to be asked for this year
for the board, for the annual water
carnival or for other purposes of
advertising or promoting the beach.
The request for the funds was
made by Julian Morton, head of
the board of trade, and George
Stearns, executive secretary Of the
board. The board has adopted a to-
tai budget for the year of 1921,
Morton said, and is meeting with
excellent response in its pleas to
individual enterprises for funds for
it's operation.
Subscription of funds to the board
Of trade, however, does not preclude
individual efforts to advertise indi-
vidual establishments or the beach
as a whole, Morton said.
The board decided in the future
it will pay its employees by check
rather than in cash as has been
done in the past.

plane went down again."
This indicated. Rabson said,
that the passenger had pushed
forward his stick on the dual

Joe attempted to force the
ship towards Governors Island
because he didn't want it to drop

Rabson added that Rosemarin
then continued in an "incoher-

about grabbing a pair of pliers

When the land plane hit the
water it began to settle, Rose
marin told Captain Drewen. He
pulled himself out of the cabin
and straddled the fuselage, from
where he was piczed up within
a few minutes by the tug Osprey.
The other man was still in the
