ice In I he East
A news item in a recent issue of
a Washington (1). C.) Daily Times
will be of interest to Smithfield
people in that it concerns the son
in-law of Congressman and Mrs.
K. W. I*ou. Mr. Carlelon F. Moran.
Mr. Moran married Mr. and Mrs.
1’ou's second daughter, Miss Mar
garet l*ou.
The item announces the sale of
Hoover Feld on the Virginia shore
of the l'otomae River to Interna
tional Airways, Inc., in which Mr.
Moran is president. This company
is planning to establish a model
airport and an extensive passenger
transport service, the first of the
chain of .airports in cities through
out the eastern United States. A
number of planes have been order
ed including a tri-motored Ford
plane with the capacity of two
pilots and fourteen passengers, 1
which will enable the company to j
establish regular aerial passenger
service between Washington and !
New York. Seaplane service to '
Norfolk is a part of the proposed |
plans. Fxcursions will be opor- j
ated to Niagara Falls, Atlantic
City, Virginia Reach and other
points of interest.
The new company will take over
intact the pcrsonel and equipment
of the Potomac Flying Service
which now operates the field.
“We are launching this ven
ture,” Mr. Moran said, “at the
psychological moment in llie de
velopment of aviation. Commer
cially. aviation has been success
ful abroad: for the past four or
five years. Its possibilities for pas
senger and air mail transport have
been tested and proved in the
United States within the past few
years. Passenger traffic by air
plane is an established fact on
the West Coast and there are a
number of lines operating regu
lar schedules between the coast
and inland as far as Chicago.
Progress has ‘been slower in the
eastern part of the United States,
but this apparent delay has built
up a demand which virtually in
1 s-ures the success of a properly
I equipped service.”

to Johnston Association
At tho Baptist church last Sun
day night following the regular
service, a conference was held to
elect delegates to the Johnston as
sociation, meeting at Trinity
church Wednesday and Thursday
of this week, and to hear the
leading of the church letter to the
association. Delegates chosen were
1'. II. Brooks, who is moderator of
tin.* association, M. A. Wallace,
Mr . J. M. Beaty, Mrs. W. N. Holt,
and Mrs. Chester Stephenson. The
church is entitled to the maximum
number of delegates, which is
eight, and the pastor was instruct
ed to choose the other three.
in many respects the church is
able to report one of the best j
years in its history. An unusual de- !
gree of harmony and cooperation
is manifest, and contributions have
been the largest for years. The
amount reported for local expenses
was $3,503.43, and for benevolent
objects $2,010.33, a total of $0,
500.70. This church made the larg
est subscription to the Centennial
Fund for schools and colleges of
any church in the association, and
paid on its subscriptions during
the year $808.10. The church has
just conducted the most success
ful every-member canvass* in its
history, the number of subscrip
tions to the church budget being
mere than three times as large as
last year with a much larger ag
gregate amount, though a large
part of the membership have not
yet been approached. The number
of members reported is 372.
Last Sunday morning the large
congregation voted unanimously ih
favor of observing next Sunday as
“Baptist Honor Day.” The pastor
had talked impressively on what
the day is to mean, telling the
story of how Carnes, treasurer of
the Baptist Home Mission Board,
had stolen almost a million dol
lars of the denomination’s money,
a’.w how all over the South next
Sunday is to he observed as “Honor
Day,” with the aim of paying back
the amount stolen. This money is
due to 42 creditor banks in eleven
Southern States, and the honor of
the denomination requires that
this money be paid promptly. One
of the outstanding bankers in the
nation was quoted as saying in an
address to bankers, though he wav
a member of another denomination,
that in the order of safe risks
he placed the U. S. Government
first in the nation, Standard Oil
second, and Southern Baptists
third, and offered to lend them
money to the amount of $1,000,000
if the present emergency required
it.
Of the huge shortage of $953,000
it is estimated that North Caro
lina’s part $95,000, and it is
proposed’ that every church in the
state take its offering next Sun
day—Armistice Day—and that ev
ery individual in church or Sun
day school make some contribution,
however small. The Smithfield
church expects its offering to reach
$200.00.
