D. Pemberton, should be supported in her protest against any bill that would change the names of the higsways. “These highways were named in 1921 for men from North Carolina who served in two distin guished division,” Mr. Hoover said, “and we should fight any movement to change them.” The post then unanimously agreed to endorse the position taken by Mrs. Pemberton and instructed Commander Sherrill to enter a vigorous protest with the representatives from Cabar . rus.
