The A committee composed of Vite Pres ident Marsden Bellamy, Secretary Louis T. Moore and Rotarian J. B. Rice was named to handle the mat ter and they will take it up with the Chamber of Commerce. Rotarians are convinced that the port is not going to get anything other than what she fights for, and Rotar ian MaoMillan stated plainly that he did not think the port's interests had been lookd after as closely as they should. He characterized Senator Simmons' reply to the extensively signed petition sent him as rather llame, and urged that Rotary start liaeroplane division raised a total of j the ball rollinsr.

Covington has already of fered to pay the salary of one man and a part of ills expenses in event that action of this nature is taken. The motion to give full power to the committee was made by Rotarian Mil ton Calder who urged that quick ac tion was necessary, if anything was to be accomplished. The idea is to make the State in a week by having delegations visit ev ery locality, going as far west as Asheville. The services of Mr. Jas. H. Cowan may be asked for a week, but there is an opinion that Mr. Cowan should be kept strictly on the job in Washington as many think that it is a bad idea to leave one line of and an added burden must be taken j defense unguarded in making a new care of in that the association is rec-'attark fognizing the uniform of the enlisted; it was the siisrtrestion of Rntarinn men.

It is possible that the Chamber of Commerce will be urged to ask the co-operation and assistance cf the va rious chambers throughou. the State. The one big idea Is to enlist the en tire State in the fight Wilmington is making, for it was pointed out that what will benefit Wilmington as a port city will reflect benefit upon the- entire State.

The committe may tvke immediate action or It may see fit to report back, but the consensus of opinion at Tuesday's meeting was that the committee would' take the matter up with the Chamber of Com merce immediately and begin work on the project while it is yet still warm.
