New Streets
(Continued from Page 1)
over a four inch macadam base.
Gutters and curbing would be of
concrete.
The tentative plans in mind are
to pave the following side streets:
Paving and curb and gutter on
5th Street from Jackson to Mon
roe, connecting with the concrete
on Jackson and on Tenth Street
from the city limits at Rapids
Street back to the concrete paving
at Madison Street.
Paving 22 feet wide, crowned for
later gutter and curb, on the fol
lowing:
2nd St. Hamilton to Jefferson.
3rd St. Jackson to Henry.
4th St. Hamilton to Charlotte.
5th St. Jackson to city limits
Bolling Road from Cedar to
connect with present surface
7th St. Hamilton to Williams
8th St. Jackson to Vance
10th St. Hamilton to Jefferson
Madison to Rapids
11th St. Hamilton to Williams
13th St. Hamilton to Jefferson
Storm sewers will be placed on
Jefferson between 7th and 9th; on
10th St. from Franklin to Henry;
and thru Greenbergs on Roanoke
Ave.
Should the project be approved by
Federal WPA, on completion it
would give Roanoke Rapids ten
miles of paved streets.

KIWANIANS INVITE
LIONS TO SEE ROSE
BOWL GAME TONITE
—
With another record-breaking at
tendance for two weekly meetings
in a row, the Roanoke Rapids Ki
tranis Club brought tears of joy to
President T. J. Alford’s eyes to
night by turning out almost 100
per cent to see Heath Lee bring the
moving pictures of the trip and
game to the Rose Bowl by Duke
University on last New Year’s.
Members of the Lions Club were
special guests of the Kiwanians at
the showing which was given in
the High School auditorium before
about 200 persons, including mem
bers of the High School football
squad and Duke alumni. Running
comment with the picture was giv
en by Messrs. Bowers and Barton
of Duke, who brought the film here.
Frank C. Williams, who repre
sented the Kiwanis Club at a Sum
mer Playground meeting this after
noon. repo, (.ed that a budget of
R20Q had been raised (with no
feat-passing) to equal the program
of last Summer, when Coach Cran
ford Hoyle supervised a program
for five city playgrounds and the
swimming pool, for recreation to
1,000 children every day. The City
Schools, the City Board and Com
munity Chest will provide the funds
to carry on this fine work during
vacation time.
On approval of Hugh Horne and
his underprivileged committee, the
dub voted to advance $48 for
braces for a crippled boy in the city
and two trips to Duke to fit them.
The committee had the recommen
dation of Kiwanians Weathers and
Sykes who had examined the boy.
This money is to come from the
Minstrel-Revue fund.
Fred Wilmer announced a meet
ing of the committee on vocational
guidance at his home. Frank Sher
ry was appointed to send invita
tions to all members of the Minstrel
cast for the open-air barbecue next
Thursday at 6 p.m. at Chockoyotte
Golf Club.
The club voted with Charley Da
vis to invite the County Board of
Commissioners on May 25 to in
spect the new High school building
and to see an exhibit of the Man
ual Arts Dept.
Howard Pruden announced finals
for the Marble Tourney, sponsored
by the Kiwanis and Lions Club, at
3:30 Friday afternoon at the High
School South playground, to see
who will go to Greensboro as mar
ble champion of the city with all
expenses paid.
