The program will be announced in detail later. H L Applewhite, merchant, bank er. farmer of Halifax, is president of. the organization and will preside over the annual session. Mr J. W. Hock, mayor of Bethel, said in his message to the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce, "Bethel is delighted to qualify for the Eigh teenth Annuel Dinner of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce and all organizations in Bethel, includ ing thi Rotary, the Junior unit of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Com merce. schools, and all others are enthusiastically looking forward to tins annual event. Authorize Detailed Survey for New Well And Line Extensions (Continued from pafe one) detailed survey is completed. Called in for an opinion. Engineer Wallace. WPA district head, stated that his organization would furnish all available certified labor and su pei vision and a portion of the' cost of materials. Approximately $f0 is allowed for materials for each man monthly meaning that if the project employs 50 men approximately $50<J will be contributed by the WPA for the purchase of materials. The town's rapidly diminishing water supply has been cause for con cern during the past several years. At one time the pumps were in op eration for short periods daily, but now they arc operated during most of the day in an effort to keep an adequate supply for immediate con sumption. The WPA will not partici pate in the sinking of a well, but the town will be given so much credit un its water and sewer extension projects for the expenditure of ap proximately $12,000 in sinking the well. It is a recognized fact that a fourth deep well is necessary, and since they must make provision for it, the authorities see a marked ad vantage m promoting at the same time a project for the extension of water and sewer lines and making available increased fire protection for a considerable number of its home owners.
