S J PAGE SIX TRAINING'SCHOOL FOR LAW OFFICERS (Continued from page one) stnjctors. This is the first series de igned to reach interested officers in the State, and Governor Clyde Hoey has termed it the "biggest forward step ever taken in?police training in North Carolina." 4he Police and Sheriffs' associations, at their annual conventions recently, both endorsed the schools and urged every single mjmber to attend. The officers ofj the State Highway Patrol, Stite Bureau of Identification, FBI, and other federal agencies have also pledged their full cooperation and support. Director Coates said, in announcing the police schools, that ropms would be furnished in the Institute's new building, and the oiily cost to officers would be approximately one dollar per day faf meals, and expressed the hope tlipt the officers of this county artd city would take full advantage of this training. He also enclosed an outline of the course, which showed that the instruction will be both detailed and thorough, stressing practice as well as theory, and will include practical demonstrations and actual practice as well as textbook study and lectures by outstanding police instructors. Counting lectures discussions demonstrations, and practice periods, the instruction will last a minimum of 10 hours per day A regular examination will be given at the conclusion, and certificates will be presented at the fjnal exercises to those successfully completing the course. Governor Hocy himself presented the certificates at the last state-wide school.

ANOTHER SIDE TO IT While Whiteville and other Coumbus county markets looked up>n this road as being mainly im>ortant for the Jiuge volumne >f tobacco, and the trade that it irought in, Brunswick county )eople regarded it as important, ilso, for several other reasons. They needed it badly in order ,o get their crops to market. And it was also needed badly is an inlet to hundreds or sportsnen from central and western >Jorth Carolina and other states. Sportsmen on their way to the :oast for the unsurpassed hunting md fishing that is to be found ill along Brunswick county's jorders from Calabash through Shallotte Inlet, Lockwoods Folly Inlet, Long Beach, Fort Caswell ind Southport. The road brings i lobacco out of Brunswick and it Uso takes sportsmen in. And, not least, it brings in idditional hundreds of summer visitors and tourists, intent on ipending a summer vacation or it least a few davs of fishing! ind vacationing on the coast of j Brunswick county. It is a two-way lane of benefit! to Columbus and Brunswick coun-j ties. And not the least of the benefit goes to the people who want to go down in Brunswick, j MORRISON FIRST CHAMPION Governor Cameron Morrison, father of paved roads in North Carolina, was the first man to see the need of a paved road from Whiteville to Southport. At least, if he was not the first man to see such a need, he was . the first to be outspoken for it. I remember when the highway paving projects were just getting started. The first body of highway commissioners had only been i formed a few weeks and at the outset the Mountain to Sea High-. way, No. 20, was of first import-! ance. Before any paving had ac- j tually been done on No. 20 Governor Morrison and several of the 5 of 5ei J. A.

Following a luncheon, the governor and the commissioners J drove down the Whiteville-Tabor road to the forks at the Black Service Station. He was accompanied by 40 or 50 Whiteville citizens. Stopping at the forks of the road, the entire party got out of the cars and the Governor remarked, "After this Mountain to the Sea route is completed, this road from here to Southport ought to be the next one to receive consideration." That was twenty or more years ago and since then there has been continuous and persistent demand for the road, demands in which both Brunswick and Columbus county people joined. The pleas often were carried throughout the state and the neglect often being cited as evidence of gross discrimnation on the part of this or that highway commissioner, who at sometime or another held positions on the board. Among the early advocates of paving was the late E. F. (Fairror) Powell, well known Whiteville banker and one of the mainsprings in the development of Whiteville as a tobacco market. Mr. Powell was not alone in Columbus county as an advocate of the road. The Councils at Wananish were constantly making appeals for the paving and this attitude was joined in by practically all of the citizens of Whiteville. In Brunswick county practically the whole of Waccamaw township was strongly lined up for the road. The same condition prevailed at Shallotte, the whole citizenship was lined up for the road; at Southport the same condition prevailed. Again and again the highway commission was bej seiged tp do something. And, always the matter was deferred. In some quarters it has always been believed that a lack of political strength prevented the road from being secured. Whether or not this is the case, it was not until about six years ago that the first stretch of paving was laid on the Whiteville end of the road. This first move has been followed by others. The next ten days should see the entire route from Whiteville to Southport completed. With the finishing of the work the counties of Brunswick and Columbus will have a highway that the Governor of North Carolina said ought to be one of the first in the state to receive consideration. ? vice m w -mm Weill 0 rmapre orld s ons ie 83 ' * iOUTHPORT, N.
