bridges to the mainland across
the Inland Waterway held in
tact and paved highways on the
Island remained. Bulldozers have
already cleared these beach
roads of million of tons of sand
and the islands are accessible by
automobile. None of these
eaches had large hotels or mo-
br courts for transient vacation
lists, most of the structures being
private cottages or small rental
units and eating places. Most of
them were total losses.
Rebuilding has already been
begun, however, and on the
wooded north end of Long Beach
which escaped damage, G. v.
Barbee and associates of Wake
Forest are busy at work cutting
streets and building cottages to
develop a large tract called
Yaupon Village. Developer E. F.
Middleton of Long Beach took a
large advertisement in tn e
Southport Pilot to express his
faith in the future of the South
eastern Beaches and to announce
rebuilding plans. DR.. R. H.
Holden and Odell Williamson
voiced similar sentiments for
Holden and Ocean Isle Beaches,
which they are developing.
Fast Recovery
Principal fishing centers OF
Brunswick County are Southport
and the vicinity of Shallotte
Enough boats and fishing gear
escaped damage to sustain the
claim that autumn sport fishing
business is going ahead at about
normal pace for the late autumn
season.
Southport itself took terrific
waterfront lacing, but thanks to
timely aid from Army Engineers
and cranes of private contractors
at work on the U. S. Army's
huge Sunny Point Ammunition
Loading project, the heavy de-
bris was cleaned up faster than

Ingenious Fishermen


At Wrightsville, Johnny Mer-
GERS new pier was swept away
so clean that not even the tackle
and refreshment shop was left,
and the Lumina pier now is only
a stub, which makes for less surf
fishing activity at Wrightsville
Fisher beaches-where the worst
than at Carolina, Kure and Fort
the storm could do failed to
dampen the ardor or diminish
the ingenuity of fishermen and
pier operators.
By a freak, the central span OF
Center Pier at Carolina Beach
was left intact, with both sea-
ward and land anchoring ends
washed away. Somebody pro-
duced a ladder and scores OF
fishermen venture out for good
catches.
At Kure Beach, Bill Robertson
is clearing away his cafe that
was left practically intact and
plans to sell it and build a new
Kure Beach Pier, tackle shop
and restaurant from the shore
out.
Hundreds of fishermen line
the beach between these piers
and are having good luck in cast
ing out into the surf for the fish
that they would normally be
fishing for from the south's
finest fishing piers-and they
will be again next summer.
Down at Fort Fisher, there is
real display of never-say-die
spirit. Nothing is left of the For
Fisher pier but a few pilings
reaching up crafty from the SUR
like burnt matchsticks-and the
tackle, bait and sandwich shop il
marvelously intact. TIL e opera
tor, 1. B. Dunn, is doing bushes:
as usual-selling bait to sur
fishermen until he can get {
new pier built.
Charter boats are operating
both out of Wrightsville anc
Carolina, and barely a week af
ter the storm one of Captain
Eddie Hanneman's boats a
Wrightsville brought in a So
pound cobia-a record for thi!
area, but symbolic of the heavy
autumn catches of fish, both big
and little.
Beautiful private homes, bull
close to the surf on the lower enc
of topsail Island, took a fearful
beating. The luxurious ocean.
front motel at New Topsail was
! demolished, but transient accom-.
mediation will be available as
soon as repairs are completed
and some more sand removed
from other motor courts and the
original inn and restaurant or
the sound side. The handsome
recreation center at New Topsai
was damaged, but can be re.
j stored by next spring.

COFFEE PRICES ARE DOWN
A&P Food Stores Are Now Off
ering Coffee at soc Pound

4 A&P Food Stores Are Now Off
ering Coffee at 99c Pound
Price reductions up to 10 cents
a pound in its own brands of cof-
fee have been announced by the
nations leading coffee merchants,
Arp Food Stores. The slashes,
second within three weeks,
/ brought Eight O'Clock coffe,
APPS biggest seller, tumbling to
SO cents a pound. The company
said this was the first time in
recent months that the green cof-
fee market permitted the sale of
a top quality coffee at less than
S1.00 per pound. Despite the fact
that coffee prices have been ad-
mittedly high, and that recent
cuts have been made in some of
the so-called private brands, we
have refused to lower the quality
of our coffee in order to achieve
lower prices" the company said.
Nov, for the first time in recent
months, the cost to us of coffee
on hand and the market price of
green coffee permit us to offer
our most popular brand at less
than 81 per pound. At the same
time, Arp re-established differ
ent prices for each of its three
blends. This customary practice
had been abandoned three months
ago, when the traditional cost diff
ference between green Brazilian
and Colombian coffees vanished.
The new prices, which went into
effect in all ARP stores through
out the country on Thursday, will
be 90 cents for Eight O'Clock,
S1.03 for Red Circle and $1.05
for Bokar. Prior to August 10Th,
all three brands sold for $1.19
per pound. New prices for three
pound packages of the coffee will
be $3.50 for Eight O'Clock; $2.99
for Red Circle, and $500 for
Bokar. A&P announced that des-
pite unsettled conditions of the
coffee market, and the presence
of many speculative factors, the
company had avoided any spec
ulative activity; and that it had
maintained its total net profit rate
at the low level of less than one
cent on each dollar Of sales.
Throughout the recent upsurge
in coffee prices ARP state, we
have consistently followed long
standing policy Of maintaing the
same high quality in our blends,
while passing along consum-
ers the benefits of any reductions
in wholesale costs as soon as
possible.
