The Rockeiship Soars —At New York World’s Fair NEW YORK — (Special) — The dream of the mechanical age and perhaps the commonplace event of the World of Tomorrow—a trip to Mars in a rocketship—will be produced in tangible form in steel and glass when a model working rocketport is placed into operation at the New York World's Fair 1939. Now being constructed by Ray mond Loewy, industrial designer, the operating planet-line will be part of a free, focal exhibit in the transportation section of the Fair. More than a thousand visitors will be able to see the show at one time. After an interesting, acti vated display of transportation from the day of the cave man to the present, illumination in the auditorium will be shifted to spot light the rocketport. Airplanes, liners, railroad trains and taxicabs of futuristic design will bring passengers and twin kling elevators will begin loading the rocketship's cargo. When the time comes for departure, sirens will sound, machinery will hum, a giant crane will lift the rocketship and place it in the breech of the gun and a brilliant flash and an explosion will indicate that the world-folk are off on a visit to an other planet. By means of an ingenious inven tion resembling the shutter of a camera, placed in the sky-ceiling, the audience will seem to see the rocketship vanish into the vast reaches of space. Summer School Here Will Begin June 5th At H. S. History will be taught in sum mer school in the Roanoke Rapids High School, starting June 5th and continuing throughout July 4th. T. L. Martin will teach all his tories from the 7th through the 12th. Mr. Clary plans to teach ge ometry the following six weeks if he returns from summer school at Carolina soon enough. The fees will be the same as last year’s, five dollars per student plus book rent. There will be two hours study each day, Monday through Friday of each week. Students planning to take music next year are urged to get off what work they can during the summer.

GARDNER’S DAIRY PRODUCTS ROCKY MOUNT GOLDSBORO Applewhite Is Inducted Into Office R. L. Applewhite, of Halifax, re cently elected President of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Com merce, was formally inducted into office in his home town of Halifax Tuesday night this week at a ban quet in his honor. The meeting was a district gathering of the re gional organization. Secretary N. G. Bartlett acted as master of cere monies in the absence of Vice Pres ident Guy Elliott of Kinston, and officially turned the affairs of the organization over to the newly e lected President. President Apple white made a few remarks of ap preciation and promised his best efforts to make the eighteenth year of the organization the best of them all. Other speakers on the program included W. E. Fenner of Rocky Mount, a member of the last three sessions of the General Assembly, and Chairman of the Finance Com mittee of the 1939 House. Mr. Fen ner said that the saturation point has been reached so far as the State is concerned in making fur ther provisions for longer terms schools or more grades, and added that he wished it were possible for every man in the State to have a hard surfaced road run by his house. He upheld the action of the Legislature in passing legislation will enable the highway funds to be diverted to the general fund if and when the funds of the general treasury are exhausted and there is no surplus available. His comments indicated that he will sponsor an economy program from now on. John Kerr Jr. of Warrenton spoke feelingly of the world situa tion, with the flat statement that “hungry people” will sell their lib erty for bread, and that as long as the United States can keep her peo pie well fed there will be no de mands for Dictators in this coun try. Senator C. Wayland Spruill of Bertie entertained the guests with several jokes and paid tribute to the “rippling waters of the Chowan”. W. J. Norwood of Roa noke Rapids took encouragement from a recent statement of the Bank of Halifax, which showed more money on hand than at any time in the history of the institu tion. Rev. Mr. Thrift, pastor of the Methodist Church of Halifax, pro nounced the invocation. The din ner was served by the Woman’s Club of Halifax. There were about fifty in attendance.
