Melville Broughton, governor of North Carolina, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Governor Broughton: I am directed by the Kiwanis Club of Scotland Neck to advise you that at the meeting of the club held on Feb. 27, 1941, the organization received and referred to its directors for action, a resolution indorsing Carroll L.. Wilson of Roanoke Rapids for membership on the State Highway and Public Works Commission under your reorganization plan. The directors, acting for the club, approved the resolution on March 11, 1941. J „ . Mr. Wilson is a successful and energetic business man and publisher of Roanoke Rapids. He has been active as a loyal Democrat and has given freely of his time and efforts in furthering the aims of the Democratic party. He is an enthusiastic booster of good roads and has consistently worked for improvements in the highway system. At the same time he has been a great advocate of the safety campaign waged by the State and his newspaper has been exceedingly cooperative in its efforts toward cutting the highway death toll. / We believe that Mr. Wilson if appointed will give without stint his best efforts to carrying out a statewide roads program on the basis you have outlined as your objective, and that you will find him loyal, intelli gent and active in handling the duties entrusted to him. We sincerely hope that you will give Mr. Wilson full consideration and that you will decide to name him to the new Commission. With kindest regards and best wishes, 1 am Yours very truly, Benj. T. Brodie, Seety. Scotland Neck Kiwanis Club RATED AMONG BEST • • Newspaper men covering this session of the legislature got together over the past week-end and chose the outstanding legislators of the ses sion. Three men were chosen from the Senate and three men from the House of Representatives. I SIAMESE TWINS? r-'JI—JLJj donated j [ 6V JAPANESE. I IMPERIALISM^ 'acoupu' or WHITE ElfPMANTS, It is a source of pride and pleasure to Halifax County that among the three outstanding men in the House of Representatives- the newsmen chose Julian R. Allsbrook of Roanoke Rapids. His honesty, eloquence and strict attention to the duties of his office have brought honor to his county and city. BROKEN BACKBONE • • In commenting on the prolonged Senate de bate on the lease-lend bill, now law of the land, the national News-Week states that the backbone of the opposition was broken when Senator Josiah Bailey made his memorable speech on Feb. 19,1941. “We must choose now”, said the senior Sen ator from North Carolina and he chose his way in unmistakable words: “I am hoping that interven tion may not mean war, but I am ready if inter vention does mean War”. It took a Southerner, a North Carolinian, where real Americans grow, to break the backbone of the opposition. That is what the magazine might have added to its complimentary comments. TOWNS TO BENEFIT • • Towns and cities of Halifax County are to benefit materially by an act of the legislature which may become a law tomorrow giving 17 per cent of ABC store profits to those towns. It is estimated that the city of Roanoke Rapids will receive about $5,000 per year of much-needed money as a result of this law. Other towns in the county will receive amounts based on the profit of the store in each town. 83 per cent of the profit will continue to go to the county. There can be no complaint from rural sections which will continue to benefit from this source. We are informed that in Virginia, cities and towns receive a much larger percentage of the profits. Put on a basis of population and in Halifax County the taxpaying towns are certainly entitled to this share of the profits. ELEVENTH KIWANIS SHOW • • Next Thursday and Friday nights, the 11th annual Kiwanis Club show will be staged at the Roanoke Rapids High School auditorium. The proceeds of the annual affair will be for the Dental Clinic which comes free; to all school children and with free treatment to those children whose par ents cannot afford to pay. Those of you who buy tickets for this minstrel revue are helping a worthy cause which warrants your patronage and which has been very valuable to this commu nity as a time-tested pro gram. Eleven years is a long time for a club to work along set lines and con tinue a program of good work without interrup tion. Eleven years is particularly a long time in a new city like Roa noke Rapids. But it has spent. Mighty strides have been made in Roanoke Rapids in the last eleven years . . . since that first Kiwanis show staged by a new club which has played a big part in our development. EDUCATIONAL GOVERNOR Governor J. M. Broughton was hailed as “the greatest educational governor of all time in North Caro lina” by Dr. Ralph McDonald, as sociate director of the University of North Carolina, before a county wide convention of Parent-Teacher associations. “Far and away the greatest prog ress for education ever made at one session of the assembly is the record written by the Legislature now sitting in Raleigh,” McDonald declared. Specific advances in public edu cation enacted by the 1941 General Assembly “under the direct leader ship of Governor Broughton" were listed as follows: 1. Beginning with next school year, every child in the public schools of the State will have ac cess to a 12-grade school system. 2. Facilities for vocational edu cation will be practically doubled. 8. Every teacher in North Caro lina will next year receive an in crease in salary, ranging from $2.50 per month normal increment to $5.33 per month for Class A teach ers who have taught nine years or 4. Every teacher employed will be under continuing contract* thus in suring greater stability for schools, children and the teaching profes sion. 5. If the people ratify the consti tutional amendment submitted by this essembly, the five confusing and conflicting State school ad ministrative agencies will be super reded by a unified, non-political State Board of Education. I 6. A retirement system will be in effect which will stabilize the teaching profession and provide se curity for the teacher in old age. Under this system an equity equiv alent to a paid up annuity insur ance policy of several thousand dollars has been created for every teacher or other person in the State’s employ. 7. The State University has been voted a 20 per cent increase in its appropriation, probably the most substantial boost the University ev er received at one time. “In these days of democracy's trial, North Carolina is building her defense deep and strong by go ing forward in public education." “Aided by an intelligent and determined leadership centering around Stacy, Lumpkin, Alien and others, Governor Broughton has led the 1941 General Assembly to an I immortal place in the annals of I educational progress.” NOTICE ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE Having this flay qualified as ad ministrator of the estate of Levy Patterson, deceased, late of Halifax County, N.
