WILL STUDY WAR EFFECTS ON THE CITY To Create Economic Planning Committee For Roanoke Rapids Plans have been put into motion for the creation of an economic planning committee for the pur pose of studying the effects of the war on Roanoke Rapids and its trading area, according to the newly elected Chairman, Frank M. Sherry, General Man ager of the Virginia Electric & Power Company. Meeting with J. Edgar Dick, a representative of the Department of Commerce, in the Municipal Building, business men and civic leaders discussed the formation of the committee and the projects that will be undertaken. Many of the suggestions contained in the Small Town Manual, a pub lication outlining the principles of community action released by the Department of Commerce, were used in setting up the committee as well as deciding upon what problems should be considered. The committee is so organized, that every citizen can cooperate, according to Mr. Sherry. The in creasing number of disturbing fac tors in our war economy has made it necessary for every small com munity to work out many of their own problems through community action. The committee believes that those communities that will assume this responsibility at the present time will avoid many un necessary sacrifices and hardships during the war period. The members of the Economic Planning Committee consist of local business men and civic lead ers. Rives Manning was selected aa vice v^iuiiiTiitui, turn jeu nie W. Sharp as Secretary. „Tne other members of the committee are W. A. Thorne; C. A. Wyche; Edwin H. Graves; T. J. Alford; H. B. Speight; Carroll Wilson; and Mayor Kelly Jenkins. The advisory board is composed of W. L. Manning; T. W. Mullen; F. C. Williams; G. A. Berkstresser; and J. T. Chase. Mr. Sherry and his committee will conduct a survey of the as sets and liabilities of the Roanoke Rapids trading area. The fields to be covered in this survey in order to discover the problems for community action include indus try; agriculture; trade; recreation; social welfare; transportation; par ticipation in civilian defense; and public relations. When the sur vey is completed the committee will meet with the advisory board to decide upon the projects for community action. The Department of Commerce will keep in close touch with the work of the planning committee in order that the techniques de veloped can be used in other cities throughout the country.
