BOARD MAY TOUR
STADIUM TODAY
Gardner Says Business
Agenda May Embrace
Inspection Trip

It is possible that the New Han
over Board of County Commissions
ers will begin its ''tour of inspec
tom of Legion stadium today.
The inspection was proposed al
the board meeting two weeks ago.
Chairman Addison Hewlett was at
tending the aviation hearing in
Philadelphia at that time, however,
and the rest of the board voted to
put off the inspection until his re-
turn.
Out Of Way
Upon Chairman Hew1ett's re-
turn from Philadelphia, the all-lm-
portant matter Of the Bluethentha1
airport authority demanded the
boards full attention. The board
put that problem out Of the way
last Wednesday when it created
the new Wilmirg ton-New Hanover
Airport Authority in special ses-
sion.
Harry Gardner, county commits
sioner and airport authority mem.
Der, said yesterday that now that
the air port problem has been dis
posed of so satisfactorily, he hopes
Legion stadium will be next In the
line for solution. 20
Board In Accord
At the board meeting two weeks
ago, Gardner and the other board
members-Louis Coleman, George
Trask, and James Hall-agreed
unanimously that the stadium, in
Guiding the ball field and the
stables, is greatly in need Of i'm
provenent.
Coleman's suggestion that a
''home-run fence be erected
around the field ito give the field
big league appearance as well
as attract mere customers to the
games" received enthusiastic re-
Spouse from majority Of the
members.
ST hope we can get out there
Monday afternoon" Gardner said
yesterday, "and get things rolling. !"

And So Bed,

Nothing treasures ones faith
in human nature so much as
a friendly gesture from the long
arm of the law.
The other night three young
men on a weekend frolic
motored out to a dance at Caro-
lima Beach. They started to 70
in but stopped short when the
sheriff appeared at the door.
They had, you see, a bottle
of wine with them, and the
sheriff spotted it.
"Guess We'll drink this in the
car" they apologized.
'Oh no You WON'T" said the
sheriff, grasping their arms.
there's no party going on in
your car. You come on and
drink it in here"

LOCAL LADS HUNT Y
RON SKI EQUIPPED PLANE

John Pope, local flier, has
equipped his plane with skis
and is staging a war against
coyotes in this vicinity.
Pope, accompanied by Johnny
Thompson, flies over the open
country south and west of Har-
din in search of the varmints
and upon spotting a coyote the
team goes into action. With
Thompson at the controls the
plane scars over the coyote and
Pope opens up with his Shot
gun. In case Pope misses, the
plane is turned quickly and
another pass is made. So far
the team has let but one ami
NAL escape.
After a coyote is dead the
plane lands and the kill is tied
on the strut of the plane. In
case the country is too rough
to make a landing, the spot is
marked and Pope returns later
in his pickup truck to bring in
the coyote.
