What I lie Mlii ?mui'lr Ncoils North Carolina editors for the last few wcel.s have heen taking time enough oil' of. their routine duties to speak their minds on what sire North Caro lina's greatest ne< ds. Having come to the metropo lis of the Alhemarh' all the way front Cherokee County, the edi tor of The Advance ean at least visualize the scope of the oues tion "What is North Carolina's ^greatest need." For that reason, perhaps, he is not willing to ven ture an answer. Even if the editor knew nil there is to know about the var ied conditions that one will find between Murphy and Mai teo and between Elizabeth City and Charlotte, he is kept so busy sawing wood 011 hisjegular job of trying to run this newspaper that he hardly believes he would find time to make an intelligent answer to the question if he had a definite answer in mind. However, The Advance does believe that ahead of all other material needs in its own sec tion is that of a system of good roads linking the section more closely together and connecting it more directly with the rest of the State. Pasquotank has made a begin ning in the direction of paved roads, but the trouble is these roads don't lead anywhere ex cept to Elizabeth City. Folks living 011 a paved road can >jct to town but they are likely'to have some trouble in winter time if they try to (jet anywhere I else. There is prospect, of course, I of improvement; but such pros pect is not immediate. It will be more than 12 months before Elizabeth City and Hertford are joined by a paved highway, and the District Highway was the firtt intercounty project con templated in this section. It will be next spring before a road is opened up across tin Dismal Swamp Canal, and yet people in Tadmore have been able to hear the farm bells ring at Acorn llill ever since the first settlement of these re gions by white farmers. The State road that was to connect the Newland brick road with Dismal Swamp Highway to Norfolk is not yet open to traf fic. The State has done less than three miles of paving in all Camden County and none whatever in Currituck. However, all these highways are in prospect, whether that prospect is as immediate as one might desire or not. But there are still other projects that ought to Ih> receiving careful at tention. One of these is thej road from Williamston to Eden ton, crossing the Chowan Kiver at Kdenhouse. Ooinjock is only about 12 miles from Elizabeth City as the crow dies; but by the present State highway the distance is about twice as gieat. Then the Weeksville road should never have stopped at Weeks ville but should have been con tinued on to the end of the County.

She has sent a box of these every Thanksgiving to the last three pres idents of the United States. This year President Coolidgc was favored with the perfect specimens shown in the picture. Mrs. Nichola has consented to $ive us the recipe for iher 'presidential" biscuits. Here it jia. Try it on your own chief ex ecutive: ont and one-half pounds of flour work four full ounces of crisco. three level teaspoons of sugar and one and one-halt teaspoons of salt. Mix this into a stiff dough with one cup of water. Work well with the hands, then roll through dough. Break until smooth and white. Roll about one third of an inch thick, cut, and pierce with fork and bake in a moderately hot oven for about 30. minutes, then let the fire reduce and bake for an hour or more. Thev ?hould be dry throughout ITua makes five docen biscuits one am) Qoe-half inches la diamet^x^ and the counties of whichnit is the center have had no road building program. There has been put forth at times a big ef fort for this road or that one I and, on the other hand, agi'inst this road or that. A commun ity such as this, vitally interest ed in roads as it is, should have a complete road program and work for it consistently and, steadily. This matter is of the more in-J terest in that the Pasquotank Highway Commission is prob-l ably going to spend some more money for paved roads next year. The road or roads that are to be paved should not be decidcd on according to the | whim or interest of various, members of the commission. af-J ter agreement has )>een reached through swapping votes, butj should bo "decided on the basis j of some constructive program carefully and intelligently thought out. Can not our progressive citi zens, whether professional men or business men, get together and adopt such a .program? The rush of the holiday seas on is 011, and taking care of bus iness day bv day^puts The Ad vance under such a strain that we are not satisfied with the news content of this newspaper. However, with a little paticice on the part of our subscribers, we'll endeavor when we get back to normalcy to more than j make up for our sins of onis | sion and commission during these last two weeks.
