LOUISBUBG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETS Leaps a Couple of Tears; Is ly Cain In* In Progress; Feels Xeed of the Help of Capable Citlieas The Board of Directors of the Louta burg Chamfer of Commerce met in a ?try lively and Interesting session on Wednesday February ?91h. and really showed Old Man Leap Year how to leap. The meeting was so lively that President E. L. Best delayed a half hour in attending an Important debate, so he said. As 111 Wogers says, all I know fs what I read in the Franklin Times, so hers' goes the report to well informed read-' ers. "Biddle" Harris, that is "Cheap* Harris, we mean Dave Harris, report ed that twenty-eight brand new mem bers had been secured for the Cham ber of Commerce for 1928, and that the total membership would soon reach over one hundred. Dave jhiIL, ingly received congratulations and was told that we expected to see those 100 members toot sweet. He ceased smiling. Aaher Johnson reported that ha rs celved notice too late to attend, and had made ether-plans, due to his wifee desire that he render certain vocal selections Tor the benefit of a young j ster who Is too young defend hlm [self. However, Mr, Johnson sent word that he baa been active in hit ( .Torts to secure a good road leading "fr?m the Watte county line to the-War : ren county line, by way of Bunn and iLouiaburg, He reported that in hla ' lsellef this road may become a reality ' by proper organization and coopera tion bv the townships involved. This, matter was referred to the Roads Committee for solution. Another vital matter was turned over to the Roads Committee, with Instructions for prompt action within the next ten 'days. Tilts' is the mutter of the state ! Highway's plan to treat the^ route to jCastalla wlth tar and gravel. ' Some ot our citizens feel that this is a wise plan, other feel that it is a waste ot money in the long run, and that the available funds had best be spent on a hard surface road to Mapleviile, with the hope that eventually we will secure hard surface all the way to Nashville. " Certainly "It Or "time R>r the cltisens of Louisburg to act promp tly, and to confer with the State High way authorities Immediately. We have ; played Rip Van Winkle too long at 'our own expense, and have held the :bag In the State Highway Snipe Hunt. Mr. A. W. Green outlined plans of the Civics Committee to work out permanent plans tor keeping our ce metery beautified. He told of their plans to eliminate the ugly, non-de scrlpt assortment of trash boxes now In use on the streets of our business section, and to replace them with neat, attractive trash receptacles. The Civ ics Committee plans to assist the American Legion Auxiliary in their ef forts to beautify our court house square with shrubs and flowers so that the way of the transgressor will not be so drab. The Transportation and Rates Com^ mittee reported that it had already succeeded in securing a better train schedule for Louisburg and that a much more convenient schedule for freight and express is now In prac tice. T. K. Stockard, In a brief four hour speech, outlined the advertising plans tor 1928. This plan as reported will cost 81,107.00, but when completed it will make Louisburg the best adver tised town ot its size in North 'Caro lina. With the expenditure of $960.00 last year, Louisburg was well adver tised, and tobacco sales increased over one million pounds. Eleven and seven are as lucky as Lindbergh, and the Chamber of Commerce intends to ad vertise Loulsbunrg consistently until we grow to be the town that we should be. Advertising attracts attention. The operators of the broadcasting sta tion were delighted with the splendid program provided by Louisburg re cently, and it was decided to make the broadcasting of a program, a quarterly affair. Advertising attracts attention. Weldon Egerton says that Cal does not choose to run, but that personally he runs to chew. Now that sounded foolish, but what he said later on sounded plenty sensible. He said that the prospect ot getting the tobacco warehouses enlarged and ot secur lug extra good men to operate them, Vas batter than erer. The Chamber of Commerce can't claim credit (or thia (the beet work eber done (or Loulsbtarg) but la thankful to the pro gressive men who brought It about that It la done. The only reaaon that Loulaburg la not a bigger market la that It haan't the warehouse room In which to expand. We will sell six million pounds ot tobacco next season, and It warehouse space la provided We can sell eight million within three more years. Everything Is built by work. The Chamber of Commerce needs workers. It you are not helpng to work co operatively, we ask you in all sincerity to Join the Chamber of Commerce, at tend Its meetings and lend your strength to the Job of shoving Louis burg over the top. Thirty-six of the U registered Po land China gilts recently sold In Lex. tngton were bought by SO Davidson county farmers. These men invested $1,675 In new blood for their swine herds.
