recommend to the County Commits
sioners that they give this need their
prompt attention.
We have visited the office of the
Clerk of the Court, Register of Wills,
County Treasurer, and County Com
missioners and from our brief inspec-
ton Of their offices we believe that
they are efficiently handled and in a
satisfactory condition..
The chimney in the Sheriif's resi-
dcnce is in need Of repair and We
find that some Of the brick have fallen
from it and others are loose and we
Iecommend that the Commissioners
attend to this propmtly. We also find
that repairs are needed on the roof
Of the jail and the Sheritf's residence
as well. Some of the windows on the
west side of the Sheriff's residence
need to be caulked. Some Of the steel
work and plumbing in the jail is in a
rusty condition and should be painted
to preserve the same.
We desire to call to the attention
of the Commissioners that the stone
work in the Jail is in need of caulking
and we think this shguIG receive
prompt attention.
We find that the shcriCf's residence
and Jail are clean and neatly kept
and we wish to commend the sheriff
for his care Of the property.
We also desire to commend the
Court House ianitor, Mr.. Thanc O.
White, for the general condition of
the Court House and the surrounding

a letter Bell received yesterday
from Hillman Moody, assistant
state director of the Production
and Marketing administration, Ra-
leigh, in which Moody endorses the
canned milk for infants only
movement.
According to the letter, the move
ment was started recently by the
Piedmont Food Distribution Advis-
DRY committee, Greensboro, after
the federal government ordered all
producers of canned milk to set
aside go per cent OF their June and
July production, supposedly for UN-
IRA overseas shipments.
Our state office has no authority
to make an official request that
this action be taken" Moody's let
ter says, but we are throughlv in
accord with the action taken by
the Greensboro committees in
areas where the supply of milk is
liable to become dangerously low"
Bell said he would contact local
food merchants Immediately to see
whether similar action is necessary
here.

are approximate first class rate
percentages with a fluctuation OF

New Industries

New Industries
Development of the Port of Will
mington at least to a comparable
point with other Atlantic and Gull
port cities will mean the estab-
lishment of many new industries
here, Mr.. Page pointed out, ano
stressed that at least five in
dustrial enterprises are now stand
ing by, waiting to see what facili-
ties will be available here before
considering other locations.
The speaker then dWelt briefly
on efforts of the State Ports Au-
thority and Congressman j. Bay
ard Clark to secure from the
Maritime Commission, property
and facilities at the northern end
of the North Carolina Shipbuilding
company holdings for use BY the
Authority. A promise of a de-
finite decision on the matter is
now being awaited, Mr.. Page
said.
Resume Shipping
Direct reference was also mac,
by the speaker to the fact that
New York newspaper stories of
last Sunday had contained the in
formation that coastwise ship
ping is to be resumed early in
July, and which once @ &C.
casioned thought that every effort
must be put forth to get additional
port facilities here in order that
Wilmington and North Carolina as
a whole, may benefit by this serv-
ice in the months and years to
come.
Concluding, Page pointed out
that although authorization for a
32-foot channel has already been
granted by the Congress for the
Cape Fear river, efforts have and
are being made to have the ulti-
mate depth increased to IS feet
in order that the largest of oil
tankers may be able to dock at
Wilmington without first unloading
part of cargo elsewhere before
entering the channel mouth.
$ 5000, 600 Estimate
In answer to a question from
the floor, Page said that the Will
mington port project estimated
cost would be S., 1000, 900 and that
Morehead City will require only
two new warehouses in the i'm
mediate future.
The speaker of the day was in
troduced by Rex Willis, program
chairman.
