way to Holden Beach. If starting
from Wilmington, follow route II,
south, 20 miles to Supply, thence
to Holden beach as before. One
mile east on this strand will take
you to Lockwood's Folly Inlet, or
west three and one-half miles to
Bacon's inlet. To try your luck at
Shallotte inlet, take route II south
to Shallotte, Sc miles; ask for the
road to Village Point, S miles S,
where you can find boats d
guides that will take you to either
this inlet or Bacon's. To get to
Tubb's inlet, route II, south, to
Grissettown, 43 miles, taking dirt
road 4 1-2 miles to Seaside, and a
boat to Tubb's inlet ! mile away.
Little River inlet can always be
reached by going direct to Little
River, S. c.. so miles, on route
II, south, and obtain boats and
guides. Another way is to go to
Grissettown, mentioned above, and
&c via dirt road to Calabash, but
as this road is often very bad it is
well to find out if it is passable.
A very successful method of fish
ing the beaches is by using a light
boat equipped with an cupboard
motor, carried on trailer to the
most convenient landing, and as
it is impossible to make routes
exactly clear, and the roads are
not always all that r wished for,
when fishing trips r planned for
further inlets, it is well to make
early start.
Last year trips to the Gulf
Stream from Southport, proved
productive of game fish, usually
caught in these waters, such as
Barracuda, Tuna, Amberjacks,
Dolphins, King Mackerel and ef-
fcrts are being made to develop
this fishing. Anyone interested in
this form of sport can get more de-
tailed information from the Gulf

Many Fishing Waters
Accessible By Auto

Beach, or by driving north on U. S.
highway II and taking the dirt
road leading down to the various
landings where guides and boats
can be obtained.
To reach Mason's inlet. the
angler takes route II to Ogden,
turning right to Mason's or cor
Belts landing (three miles, where
boats and guides are available. 2
To fish Rich inlet, the angler
goes north on route II to Scots
Hill, 10 miles, and takes a dirt
road to Foy's landing, two miles.
Those who do not have their own
boats for getting across the sound
should produce a guide and boat
at SCOTS Hill.
Elmore's inlet is best reached by
truning off at Kings road, 16 miles
out of the city on route II, and
thence by dirt road a mile and a
half to Long Point landing. From
this point will be found a deep
channel to the inlet. This inlet can
also be reached by going to Hamp-
stead, a mile further north o n
route II, and turning right a mile
to the landing, but as the channel
is difficult from this point it is
preferable to arrange for guides
and boats at Hampstead.
If the angler wishes to go to
Topsail inlet he travels north on
route II to the mail box of E. c.
King, where he turns right on a
dirt road to Kings landing where
boats and guides may be found.
At the white Hills, the northern
limit of Zone B is reached, and to
get to this point take route II to
Bonds service station, "a miles,
via dirt road to the sound where
guides and boats are available.
To sketch briefly the other points
CT interest, Browns Inlet, or New
River inlet, a be fished by TAX
ing route II to Folkstone, "a miles,
route SO to Sneads Ferry, or to
Peru, at either of which places
you can obtain boats and guides.
Using Swansboro as a base, ex-
cellent fishing may often be had
at Browns, Bear or Bogue Inlet,
where a guide and an able boat
are necessary and can always be
had. Swansboro is best reached by
route II to Jacksonville, 81 miles,
and then 20 miles via route "a.
There is good fishing around the
mouth of the Cape Fear river, at
the Cape and on Frying Pan
Shoals. The waters in this section
are dangerous, under certain con-
ditions, and fishing should not be
done here except under the guild
ance of an experienced man and
a good boat, which can be obtain
ed at Southport, 80 miles from Will
mington via route II, south, and
route 1903.
From Southport, Caswell Beach
may be reached by driving west
3 miles on route 100, and then turn
left 6 miles to Fort Caswell. From
Caswell one can drive out into the
strand and thence southwest about
10 miles to Lockwood's Folly In
let. A safer route if starting from
Southport is to follow route 100
west IS miles to Supply and 9
miles more by dirt road and cause

AQUAPLANE GIVES
THRILLS APLENTY
Sport Has Many Ardent Fol
lowers At Sea Island
Beach Resort
So you want a thrill.

So you want a thrill.
Well, here it is, but don't say you
weren't warned there is apt to be a
spill in it also.
Prescription: Get a well-planed,
specially shaped board known as an
aquaplane. Attach it with a rope to
the real Of a speeding motorboat.
Climb aboard and . stay there if
you can
Sure it's fun.
Dangerous? Not if you a swim.
But you a count on it, you have
here a combination Of the thrills of
riding a bucking bronco with the
sensations of seating across t h e
water at breakneck speed with spray
flying and the wind whipping at your
face.
Here you go buzzing across the
water behind a zig-zaggiag motor
boat, perched ~precariously on a plan
ing board which bounces, bumps and
swerves at every bit OF rough water,
giving you a double thrill on every
zig and OF every gag.
1t looks simple.
But don't let it fool you.
It takes skill to stay on I b a t
bounding board and that skill is at
tanned only after numerous duck
ings. For expert swimmers there
is little danger but others should
approach aquaplaning with care and
learn first to handle the board be-
hind a comparatively slow-noving
boat.
For those who cannot swim the
feat is dangerous to tackle but for
the swimmer the duckings r about
as much fun as the riding.
And that is why any afternoon you
can see the boys and girls riding the
planning boards, whipping in and out
to get the thrill Of a quick turn and
taking buoys on sharply banking
boards.
Aquaplane, races are not %infrequent
at the beach, informal competitions
being arranged in the afternoons
and mass competitio as being held in
the majority of the cupboard racing
events staged in the sound.

Its size is depressing. We do not
know the exact area and we are not
going to call the Chamber of Com
merce to find out. All we know is
that wherever one wants to 60, it
always is 40 minutes away from
where one is. Fifty minutes, really,
unless one wants to travel at
speed that amounts to insanity.
Whether it is fear of earthquakes
or love for the soil, which is too
deserty for us, the idea here is to
build out instead of up. It has re-
suited in q vast consumption OF
space; an irritating consumption of
space to person who can whip

democracy in the universe.
Eventually one might get accus-
toned to 1t. We won't. We prefer
our cities compact. And with fiat
rate cabs instead Of those equipped
with meters which look and act like
one-way slot machines.
In a community which has been
described as six suburbs in search
of q city, the traffic would be bad.
It is. Because there Is no public
transport system-unless it is COM
posed of those old red barns which
totter through the streets trying to
act like streetcars-every one must
have an automobile. There are
more cars per capita "a cynic could
say to the seat Of the pants) here
than anywhere else in the world.
And don't get the notion they are
Duesenbergs and Rolls-Royces. The
vast majority of them are the other
kind, the kind which make the
streets look like a museum Of motor
transportation.

The city fathers, whoever they
