Dr. Harold Tribble, president of Wake Forest, told 71 members of the 97 member board, who repre sent almost one-million Baptists, of ofens td provide a major program of graduate work at the college. The plan would raise Wake Forest to university status and could place non-Baptists on the Board of Trustees. Dr. Tribble said the Baptists could not support a program that will cost several million dollars to start and approximately $1 mil lion .annually. “But it is needed and we must have it,” he said. “We do not want separation from the Baptist Contention but we want to build a great school and we will need outside financial help,” the president declared.

The home of the city facilities, formerly the Southport Grammer School, was to be modernized on the exterior as well as interior im provements such as a new heating system.

Ten years ago this week bids were opened for the major , construction jobs of the Sunny Point Army Terminal with the biggest involving the construction of the three large docks. It was estimated the materials needed would include 2,000 car loads of gravel, 4,000 car loads of cement, and would require 540 days for completion. The piling job would require over 9600 concrete piles, each. between 35-foot and 65-foot in length, toalling, if placed end to end, 88-miles. Sports fishing again bowed to the weather as once more hundreds of visitors were disappointed by being cancelled out due to the rough seas. Fifteen years ago this week large numbers of shrimp were being caught here and shipped south to Louisiana for packing. One recent exportation was a large trailer truck carrying 12 tons of shrimp to the Louisiana port. The reason was that the shrimp were small, but just right to be canned. When their size increased they would be shipped north to the large cities. Mayor John D. Erikson, holder of that position in Southport for 14 years, had resigned due to the time that he spent fishing elsewhere on the menhaden boat that he captained. The position was filled by Hubert Livingston. Continued On Page ( *=Lt. Col. Archie B. Joyner. Jr. Has Reported As Of* ficer In Charge At Sunny Point Army Terminal lieutenant Colonel Archie B.
