Coastal Highway and to connect tiie
port cities as a n.iliury measure in
case of war.
This Association has been in exis
tence for about four years, but the
town.- and cities aloe? the coast from
Norfolk. Windsor. Williamston. Wash,
ington. New Bern and along the line
to Wilmington seemn! to have had
co knowledge of its Mattaee prior to
a few weeks ago when the Mayors
of the different towns j-r-.-i »«*embers of
various civic bodies residing alony
route thirty on which Williamson is]
located, received invitation* from Fret'
Warde, Secretary of the South At

Prior to this year in some way-

route forty, which extends fron Roa
noke Rapid* by Rocky Mount. Wilson
Golalsbora. and other towns to WO
- hast gri recognition from the
Association and had as Chairman for
North Carolina N. Y. Chan*bliss of
Rocky Mount, and at the meeting in
Charleston. S. C.. last year throueh
the effort.* of Mr. Cha«abli.-s an*
others the Association tentatively a
greed, to adopt route forty ai the
dfc ial route.
Through the alertnes of the Secre
tary of the New Bern Chamber o.'
' om me lire, this situation was brougld
to the attention of the towns a:on- i

state meeting held in the DeSoto
Hotel our route wron out through har !
work and superior numbers of our
dde.-atieu with the result that they
elected the state chairman for the cor i
ing > *ar in the person of Senator I'.

On Wednesday morning at a hear
ing before the Executive Committee
route thirty was recognized and pi '
oa tie- nap as the coastal route.

Winning this victory does not tnear
that this is all to be accomplished hut
on the contrary the work has just be
Neither route thirty nor route forty

At this time route thirty is nearer
the pial than route forty in lljis re
spect as we have more hard surf am
roads completed than the other route
rmi from reports out at th
convention it was calculated thai rw ti
thirty would be linked up with a har- ! '
