MERCHANTS ASS'N DISCUSSES IDEAS FOR CELEBRATION Event May Be Staged Here Later At a meeting of members of the local Merchants Association last Thursday morning it ivas decided to abandon the idea of a Fourth of July celebration here. President C. C. Shell presided o ver the meeting, and Frank Sherry, who reported for the committee considering the proposed event, stated that the group had held several meetings and that calls had been made to adjacent towns rel ative to the event in question and that after finding out the number of farmers in Halifax County, a long with others who might be ex pected to attend such a celebration, it was decided such an affair would be too ambitious an undertaking to work up in the short time al lowed. During the discussion, President Shell said that Tarboro, Rocky Mount and Winston-Salem had been contacted about similar events held in those towns and it was learned that visitors to those places on such days had not been fed. The committee suggested that picnic grounds could be provided and visitors bring their own lunch, and it was also suggested that some . . i« . n it. Ouier uay rauicx uiou wic *■ wui w* of July be designated for the e vent, possibly later in July or dur ing August. Another suggestion was that if food could not be fur nished the visitors perhaps lemon ade and other drinks could be pro vided. Alfred Martin made a motion, seconded by George Taylor, that the committee remain intact and visit Dunn today where a Farmers’ Day event is being staged. A delegation left this morning for that city, and a meeting will be held upon its re turn to decide definitely about the proposed celebration for Roanoke Rapids. The matter of closing stores here on July 4th was taken up by the group, but no definite decision was reached, pending word on whether the local mills will stand idle that day. Chairman Martin of the Traffic and Parking Committee of the or ganization reported the committee got a receptive hearing from the board of commissioners recently and that a police officer is now sta tioned on the corner of 10th Street and Roanoke Avenue on week-ends during the busy hours. A motion was made that a resolution be drawn up suggesting that trucks of excessive length not be allowed to park opposite each other for load mg aim umuaumg, uiai a iwu-uuui parking limit be observed between 0th and 10th Streets on Roanoke Avenue, and that some person be employed to make a study of the traffic situation here. The city board requested that a detailed res olution be drawn up before it takes any definite action. J. Rives Manning brought up the matter of organizing a Chamber of Commerce for the city, and stated that other towns and cities are of the opinion that Roanoke Rapids is growing fast enough to need one. President Shell of the Merchants Association pointed out that pos sibility of organizing a chamber here has been discussed by leading men of the city during the past sixty days but no agreement has been reached about it Some favor the proposal, but others believe that the Merchants Association can han die the situation under the present setup. Only fifteen members of the or ganization were present for the meeting.
