Herald (classified Advertising —Makes Roanoke Rapids „ ...... . r Gets (Juiek Results ^ It It ★ ★ ★ VOLUME XXXII ROANOKE RAPIDS, N. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1947_ NUMBER 45 Airport Support In Offing Roanoke Rapids Clubs Seeking To Bring Out Public Opinion While the county speculates on whether or not there will be a county airport, at least one civic club in Roanoke Rapids plans t) do something about the matter, with at least one other seriously considering sending a strongly worded resolution to the board ->f county commissioners in support of the project. At a meeting last week of the former club* it was agreed to go ou record as favoring the project. The ether club, which has, during its shorter existence, sponsored notable improvements the Junior Chamber of Commerce—voted in a meeting over a month ago to draw up a resolution in support of the establishment of an airport for Halifax County. The resolution ha<i not been re leased at time of going to pre3s today, but it is possible that some action will be taken at a scheduled meeting of the group tonight. One resident of Roanoke Rapids said, "Something should be done about this thing right now. People who really want and who, in the future, will demand — an airport must realize that, unless they ex press themselves vehemently in fa\or ol the project, that selt same project will go under for the third time.” Said another, “There’s no ques tion about it — our nearest flying facilities are over thirty miles away. With some towns in the county very much closer to an airport than are we, it’s no wonder they are careless as to whether or not is is located in their own home .county.” Injuries Fatal To Prominent Local Merchant Henry Drewery Allen, 78, prom inent business man of .Weldon and Roanoke Rapids, was fatally injur ed Monday afternoon when the tutomobile which he was driving swerved into another car on the Hillsboro Road about two miles from Durham. His sister, Mrs. Bertha Zolli eoffer, of Greensboro, wha was also an occupant of the car at the time of the tragedy, was treated at a Durham hospital for minor in juries. Funeral services were held Tues day afternoon at four o’clock from the Weldon Methodist Church witn the Rev. D. L. Fouts, pastor, offi ciating. Interment was in Cedar wood Cemetery in Weldon. Survivors include one son, Rob ert P. Allen, of Weldon, and three daughters, Mrs. W. A. Travis and Mrs. James Johnson, both of Wel don, and Mrs. W. J. Armfield III, cf Greensboro: one brother, A. £. Allen, of Weldon; three sisters, Mrs. Zollicoffer, Mrs. Kate Pierce, of Weldon, and Mrs. R. G. Ken dricks, of Durham and nine grandchildren.

Merchants Association Gives Members Warning Only Banks Cash Bonds The Roanoke Rapids Mer chants Association warned its members in its “Association News” this month that “only banks and other financial insti tutions authorized to do so may cash veterans’ terminal leave bonds. The Treasury warns other businesses not to cash the bonds, “you stand to lose if you do.’’ Another report from the Treasury showed that bogus $20, $50 and $100 bills are now being circulated in the South. Royal Adam Gets Clean Sweep At Virginia Races C. T. Oakley’s Royal Adam, run ning in the Virginia State Fair Harness Races at Staunton Sat urday, reeled off the mile in 2:13 for a first heat victory in the free-for-all pace and then finished in number one position in two subsequent dashes to make j clean sweep of ‘the field. The bay gelding from Oakley’s Roanoke Rapids stables, driven by Jack Garrity. got some com petition from W. F. Davis’ Em pire Grattan, but each time he beat back all threats to cross the line in front. The 2:13 for the first mile was the fastest in this year’s four day meet, and the other two dash times of 2:14 and 2:15 were also well below most previous preformances. A highlight of the racing was the victory of Walter Brewer, the tireless 15-year-old bay gelding owned and driven by C. E. Hunt of Porthaywood, Va. who took the first two dashes in the free for-all trot but lost out in the third to R. E. Benthall's Follow Dillon.

Collins-Jones Co. Closing Out Store Collins-Jones Company is closing its Roanoke Rapids store, it was learned this week. Barry Jones, manager here since the store's opening, will make his home in Hendersonville. Other changes slated to occur among business firms within the near future are: Taylor Furniture Company will move into the build ing vacated by Collins-Jones, and Tar Heel Sporting Goods Com pany will occupy the store now oc cupied by Taylor Furniture Com pany. Resurfacing on Third and Eighth Streets Approved by Commissioners I About 7500 square yards of re surfacing for Third and Eighth Streets, at an estimated cost of $1800, was approved by the city commissioners in their meeting Tuesday. The work will be done by Kiker and Yount, of Reida ville. In oter business, the commis sioners authorised the purchase , of new uniforms for the police , department and approved Chief T. J. Davis’ attending the one week’s ) retraining session of the FBI Nat I ional Police Academy in Wash* lngton from Sept. 20 through October 4th. i Authorisation was given for th« ) purchase of a pulmotor to b< used by the Fire Department. Roanoke Rapids Band To Play At Enfield Agricultural Fair Busily engaged in prepara tions for their annual agri cultural fair (September 29 to October 4). Enfield firemen took time out on Wednesday* September 3rd* to view the 1 breaking of ground for their new modern up-to-date build ing on East Main Street. Meanwhile* It was announc ed that two bands from the Henderson and Roanoke Rap Ids high schools, have been secured to provide music for 9 tile fair and that two or mom e prominent speakers will partt elptt* Sonny Hines Returns to U. S.; Says Dixie Scouts Flew Flag Of Confeder'cy at Campsite "Isn’t this a peace Jamboree?" shouted French Boy Scouts as they were told no German Scouts could officially attend the recent International Jamboree of Boy Scouts from all over the world in France. L. D. (Sonny) Hines, Jr., of 503 Franklin Street, vivid ly recalled these words of the French boys as he told of the barring from the Jamboree of German Scouts over their more than almost any other peo ple in the world, had cause to hate any and everything German. Sonny, 15 years old and a jun ior at Roanoke Rapids High School this year, returned to the States on August 30th after a month and a half's absence from the city as one of 1030 American Scouts rep resenting the United States at thi Jamboree. He seemed to be very j impressed with the lack of a »y in-1 ternational antagonism among the1 youths at the camp. ‘‘Maybe if the grown-ups could j get together like that there would not ever be any wars," he ventur-, ed. ‘‘The only war we ever dis-' cussed was the Civil War and that, cnly among ourselves, but then, everytime any Americans from both North and South get togeth er that war is fought all over again. We, being the ‘Dixie’ con tingent (from North and South Carolina and Georgia), kept a big Confederate flag flying over our contingent area.” Sonny left here July 16th an! joined a group from Florida and the other Southern States in Ral eigh. Three days later they went to Camp Kilmer, New Jersey, for staging and on July 24th they en trained for Staten Island, N. Y.. where they boarded the Army transport, the General C. H. Muir. They spent nine days at sea un der clear skies and then docked in Antwerp^ Belgium. While there, they went on four tours to differ ent parts of Holland and Belgium, including visits to all the famous cathedrals and a trip to the Roy al Palace at The Hague, capital of The Netherlands. MOVE INTO CAMP After their tours of those two countries, the Americans went on to the Jamboree grounds near Moisson, France, where about 40, 000 scouts from all over the world were assembling for two weeks of spreading international good will under the chosen name "Jamboree de la Paix" (Jamboree of Peace*. There were gigantic theatrical exhibitions as each of the larger countries’ delegations presented the history of Scouting in their home land in panorama. The New Zea landers, the staid British (whose own Lord Baden-Powell founded the Scouting organization' and the French all playing to a packed ’■house." And then the Americans, with an Indian delegation from Oklahoma, more than holding their own with early tribal dances — then the pioneers in covered wag ons and on into the story of how Baden-Powell first brought the rudiments of Scouting to the Unit ed States.

THE GRIM SIDE There were trips to the Peace i Palace at Versailles where they1 saw the halls in which a 25-year armistice, parading under the guise of a peace treaty, was signed trips into Paris where Sonny and his friends saw the sights of the city and topped it all off with dinner in the Eiffel Tower. Then there was the grim side of it too, as Sonny will tell you, a beautifully kept American military cemetary at Foy, France, near Bastogne, wherein1 lie 9,000 of our men who fell in baffle in the land to which now tjaefr younger bro thers had come in a valiant effort to thwart any future need of such heart-breaking loss.

A 1 The Local Week... Enfield Veterans i Officers and employees in the 1 Bank of Enfield were quite busy*' on Tuesday, Sept. 2, when veterans* ? in that town began cashing their terminal leave bonds. An estimate ' at the close of that day showed that 71 veterans cashed their bonds for an aggregate total of $13, 698.80. Firemen In Street Parade A feature of the State Fire man’s convention which started on Sunday and was slated to end today at Morehead City was a street parade in which a thousand or more fire fighters, including Bruce Camp and Rufus Brittoa took part. Nothing attracted quite as much attention as did the old horse drawn fire engine of the New Bern Button Department and the hose carts of the Atlantic Fore Com pany, also of New Bern, reports teaching here from the coastal city indicate. And Others Pass Out The words of that old song, "Behind the Swinging Doors" were recalled to many in Mayor’s Court Monday—especially that line about “where some pass in and others pass out”—as 30 cases, the ma jority for public drunkenness, were paraded before Mayor J. T. Chase. In other types of cases, the trial of several local men on charges of possession of illegal eoin-operated machines was con tinued again for one week. The state took a nolle pros with leave in the case of two Littleton women residents charged with unlawfully appropriating merchandise for their own uie on condition they pay for the merchandise and costs James A. Hale, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe B. Hale. Route on 3, Koanoke Rapids, has been pro moted to grade of sergeant in the Army Air Forces. Hale enlisted in the AAF after graduating from Roanoke Rapids High School in June, 1946 and ;s at present stationed at Scott Field, Illinois. Littleton High School Faculty Entertainment Postponed One Week The P. T. A. of Littleton High School will entertain in honor ot the faculty Friday night, Septem ber 19th, instead of September 12tn as was originally planned. The change was made so as not to con flict with Women’s Night at the Littleton Baptist Church. Sealed Bids To Be Opened and Read Bids on the proposed second story addition to the Roanoke Rap ids municipal building (in the sec tion now housing the fire depart ment) will be opened and read publicly next Tuesday, September 16.

Venters Speeds School Gridders As Opener Looms Prepartions for the season grid opener with the Washington Pam Pack were speeded up today is Coach Rock Venters sent hi> Yellow Jacket charges through another long scrimmage sesion. The Yellow Jacket mentor, who is beginning l.is fourth season as head of the local football staff, failed to comment on the after noon's drills. Binding a line capable of hold ing its own in conference com petition appears to be Venter-.; biggest worry at present. The entire line was lost by graduation last year. Working up front on the numbet one team today were Wordesc Felts and Robert Johnson at ends. Huber* Lowder and Billy Nixon, a pair of 194 pound boys a» tackles. Jabo Hale and Junior Ed wards at guards, and Kenny Mi zeli, who played freshman ball last year, at pivot post. Several other boys are pushing for a starting berth with ends Frank Johnson and Bobby Mac Adams,, tackle Lewis Ivey and guards Russell Johnson and Her bert Moore heading the list. The line has been working on ' blocking and tackling tactics in the recent sessions.

Vance Stewart, whose passing | and kicking has improved tre- , inendously, ran in the tailback , slot today, along with fullback j David Cox, wingback Sam Wood ( and blocking back O. B. Grumpier. , Running in ihe second team’s secondary were Art Brown, a newcomer from South Carolina Reuben Slade, Clifton Acree and Billy Clemer. Athletic officials are still try- 1 ing to schedule a game here to: September 19, one week before the i onference opener with Tarboro. ! Another Step Forward; The Automatic Laundry Roanoke Rapids housewives who look upon washday as the height of drudgery will be introduced to the revolutionary "launderette” sys tem of doing the "home wash away trom home” when the city’s firs*, automatic laundry opens Monday. A novel attraction and booming success in other cities throughout the country, the automatic laundry will hold its debut in this city a. its quarters at ((ffjpJackson Street. Governor s Secretary Tells Reporter Cherry Formed 'No Attitude' In The Case Governor Gregg Cherry’s secretary, John Hardin, told a Herald reporter in a telephone conversation that a delega tion of citizens headed by State Senator Julian Allsbrook would be received in the Governor’s office at three o’clock this afternoon. Hardin said that although the chief executive had re ceived a few scattered letters in regard tu reinstalementof Heavy Expenditures For New Farm Homes Foreseen In County Farm families in Halifax Coun ty will spend more than $1,748,000 for new housing in the next three to five years, according to a fore cast released by the Tile Council of America. "As a result of high incomes during the last few years, farm ers in every part of the nation are prepared to invest record amounts in new home construction and in general farm improvements,” sa d F. B. Ortman, chairman of thi Council's residential construction committee. Pointing out that the comforts and conveniences of urban living are now available to farm familie:, Urtman said that many new rui.d homes will incorporate such fem uveo as central heating, tiled bath rooms and modern kitchen facil' tiea. Rapid electrification of rur i! areas of North Carolina is making possible the incorporation in new homes of many labor-saving and comfort-providing devices un dreamed of a generation ago, a cording to Ortman. Rural Elect. - f cation Administration estimates disclose that more than 45 pci cent of all farms in the state now receive central station electric ser vice. Refrigerators, electric wash ing machines and deep freezing plants, as well as plumbing sys tems. will go into many new homes as a consequence. Teague, A. F. Fields and John W. A'ilson, he had received no lengtiiy petitions nor had he formed any attitude about the case. "Col. Hatcher,” said Hardin (re ferring to Col. H. J. Hatcher) "is the commanding officer of the highway patrol and the final de cision is up to him, although, in view of the facts that this is an unusual case, he may ask the gov ernor's opinion in the matter. All the governor does, in regard to mployment of patrolmen is sign commissions sent him by the Stat • Department of Motor Vehicles." Approximately 75 citizens of Roanoke Rapids, all sections of Halifax County and parts of North impton county, left Roanoke Rap ids at 11:30 this morning for th • try,* to Raleigh where they wi.l •onfer with the governor. Allsbrook, who led the defense in presentation of the patrolmen : case at Halifax on September 2n i in Halifax County Recorder’s Cou: i on charges of assault with r. deadly weapon in connection with . n alleged beating administered to h recaptured convict on August cl) will lead the delegation which is composed of prominent loc I business and professional men. Meanwhile, competent observer in the city this morning predicted that the governor, who once re buffed a delegation from Charlotte, will not be in a very receptive mood despite Hardin's assurance . that the chief executive has form ■ £*1 no attitude in regard to the- , ease. *_ Charities Aid 87 Families In First 8 Months During the first eight months of 1947 (January through August, there were 87 families, consisting of 339 individuals, given assistance by Associated Charities. The larg est of those families consisted of the man. his wife and six small children, who were completely burned out of their home. Such conditions as illness and death, injury, women with small children deserted by husbands, Halifax County cases living on small pensions, old age, fire and other causes, make temporary a* sistance necessary. Clothing, food, medicine, shoes, fuel and milk have been provided for these de serving citizens in our community. Two patients at the Halifax County Sanatorium from our com munity have been provided with bed clothes and medicine not fur nished by the county. Two cases were transferred to the Lion's Club for eye glasses, two cases to the local Red Cross and three cases to Halifax County. Eight cases were rejected, either becaU'' their requests were not in keep ing with the policies of the Asso ciated Charities, or, upon investi gation, it was found that they could supply their own needs or did not wish assistance. Each case is thoroughly 'investi gated by the case worker and It's Up To Parents And Children If School Lunchroom Remains Open Roanoke Rapids To Get New City Directory f A new’ city directory for Roanoke Rapids is the aim of 1 the Merchants Association as the group announced the ar rival Monday of E. B. Garth, ; representative of the Southern Directory Company, of Ashe ville, to make preliminary sur veys. The last directory was pub lished in 1941 and is now obso lete, officials of the association said, in requesting local cit izens to extend every courtesy 1 to Garth who is now calling t- on the merchants in an effort to get a dear picture of the situation. Included in the directory e will be a classified business section. \ Prices for new crop wheat de « dined from late May to July 7, !• then advanced. Prospects for a >. small com crop tended to t. strengthen wheat. School Superintendent I. E. j Ready said today that if parents do not urge their children to patronize the non-profit school lunchroom that it may be forced to close. There is not enough federal funds to take care of the deficit for this year and unless “the children buy their noon-day lunches in the lunchroom we can nat operate it." It is important that children have a well-balanced diet and this the lunchroom serves each school day for the small amount of 20c. Included in the lunch are meats, vegatables, milk and usually dessert. "This lunch," said Supt. Ready, "Is far better for the children than other things they buy with their lunch money.” "As the project now stands,” con tinued Mr. Ready, "It’s up to the parents and the children to keep the lunchroom open for the school year.” Last year the federal govern ment appropriated 9c per lunch toward operating school lunch rooms. This year, however, the appropriation was cut and the government la paying only 5c per lun$h. rewmuienuiuiuna requc&ufu uu.'n responsible citizens such as their family doctor, overseer or super intendent at the place of employ ment, local merchants and resi dents knowing the family.
