presiding, Jan. 18.
The manager referred to cor
respondence from Harry Krusz,
of the Winston-Salem Chamber,
In connection with the southern
meeting of chambers of commerce
in Winston-Salem the last of
I March. It was pointed out that
the plan to have the delegates
make a trip into the western part
of the state had been eliminated
because of the possibility of dele
gates arriving late and hazardous
weather at that season.
The board was asked by the
president if it wished to receive
the legislative bulletin of the
1949 General Assembly at a cost
of $15.00, and an additional
$1.00 per week for ^xtra weeks.
The board approved this sub
scription.
The manager presented infor
mation regarding the proposal ot
a candidate for the U. S. Cham
ber of Commerce board of direc
tors. The board felt that this
community should be recognizer
in this connection and should
participate in making a nomina
tion. R. G. Finley made a mo
tion that the board go on record
proposing J. B. Williams as a
nominee for the Board of Direc
tors of the U. S. Chamber. This
was seconded by J. B. Carter and
passed.
President Brame brought rfp
the following legislative matters
for action: (1) Regarding the
Wage-Hour Act S.248, the board
approved action already taken by
the president and manager
whereby the State Labor Com
mittee and the N. C. senators had
been urged to request full hear
ings on S.248 regarding increas
ing minimum wages and clarify
ing amendments. The manager
presented information regarding
the request of the N. C. Ports
Authority in which the legisla
ture is asked to appropriate ap
proximately 7 1-2 million for
modern docks, transit sheds and
warehouses at Morehead City
and Wilmington, N. C. Although
oppose^ to extravagant spending
of state funds, the board felt
that development of state ports
is important to our whole econ
omy. The board went on record
favoring the request of the State
Ports Authority and asked that
our local representative be noti
fied of this decision.
The manager stated that Rep
resentatives C. B. Deane and R.t».
Doughton had notified local rep
resentatives regarding the estab
lishment of a highway post of
fice to begin Feb. 4. It was a

the time the highway post office
makes its first arrival here.
