Government seals 80 acre shipyard site in Wilmington
The United States government now owns about 80 acres of land in New Hanover County near Wilmington after deeds filed by Bellamy and Bellamy show transfers to the Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet Corporation for 17 500 dollars.

President McLean Named War Finance Corporation Leader
Angus Wilton McLean of Lumberton is named active friend of the War Finance Corporation in Washington. The new agency, with paid-in capital 500 million dollars and authority to issue 3.5 billion, aims to supply credits for war industries and regulate capital flow. McLean’s Wall Street ties and southern leadership are noted as key to the plan’s hoped success. The program, limited to ten years, seeks to stabilize credit and support national war effort, with bonds issued up to six times paid-in capital.
