The New Hernlan says: "Mr. Cutler wan in receipt of advice from Washington that of- , ficiaU charged with the authority ! to make audi destgnat ions were I favorable to the request. and it In believed here that when the mat- j ter in finally acted upon. It will result In the designation of Route 30 ? through one of the finest sec tions of Rasteru Carolina ? as a Federal coastal highway." Route 30 on account of Its clos?i proximity to the seacoaat and In lund porta has been recommend ed to the War Department as a defense highway by the engineers of the War Department. The matter was again impressed upon the officials at Washington ' by Hon. Lindsay Warren, and j there Is not much doubt about! Route 30 being not only a tourist ! highway but a military highway as well. Another year will see thej greater part of this route paved from Norfolk to Wilmington. TEN COMMANDMENTS TREMENDOUS DKAMX Profoundly Impressive scenic i effects are employed In unfolding the drama of "The Ten Command ments." De Mllle masterpiece j closing a two day showing at thej Alkrama Theater tonight. The; picture Is far and away the finest ' of the kind ever exhibited on the! screen here. It carries an Ines capable moral, presented with a . dramatic Intensity that gives It | the effectiveness of a powerful! sermon, and It grips the Interest from the opening scene to the last. The prologue unfolds the Bib- ! Ileal story of the Exodus. The Chosen People are shown In the ; land of bondage, their Kgyptlan taskmasters forcing them relent-! lessly to the full measure of their strength. Moses, the lawgiver, j demands that the all powerful , Pharaoh permit his people to I leave the land. Pharoah refuses. ; despite Moses' threat that n plague | will smite the land "from the first born of Pharaoh down to the || first born of the captive In the dungeon." The first born are? smitten, and there Is grief throughout Egypt. That night Moses and his peo- , pie flee the land. The dramatic episodes of the pillar of fire and of the opening of the Red Sea to j let the Isralites pass, are por trayed In highly effective fashion. | And so on to Moses* Journey to i the Mount, the giving of the Ten 1 Commandments. the building of the golden calf, and God's castl-j gatlon of the people. There the | prologue ends. The story deals with the variant ) philosophies of John and Dan ( McTavlsh, brothers. John Is: highly regardful of the Ten Com- | mandrnenta. and of right living! generally, but Dan Is wedded to j the easy philosophy of getting what he can. In whatever way he ; can. He scorns religion as old fashloaed. and sets up success as his Idol, to be gained by whatev er method comes to hand. The boys' mother is intensely, sternly religious. ^ And then there Is a girl. Both brothers love her, but she chooses i Dan. He becomes a contractor., and swiftly piles up dollars by a, variety of questionable methods. , One by one. ho breaks the Ten. Commandments, and at the lust, retribution overwhelms him. A veritable constellation of firm stars portray the story. It ! is wonderful.

UesideH. he says, the problem of transporting pupils from remote ( points in the territory served could not be met as sal Isfactor- i lly ns with the larger central school. * Had the election carried, it ! would have meant completion of the consolidation of Pasquotank (bounty's while rural schools audi formation of a district with h ! larger school population than that ' of either Weckavllle or Newland ' district, the two other units in the County's educational system. Through Its larger enrollment, the new school could normally I have been expected to have eclipsed either of lie* oilier two! In equipment and in advantages j afforded those attending it. Pupils in this territory will lie entirely' Witlrout hitch school facilities this, year, except in the case of the rel atively few who attend the fcllza hclh City High School. The local lloaid of School Trus- 1 tees, after having decided some months ago not to accept any more out of town pupils, voted at , a recent meeting to permit them to Httend this year, and this year only. Failure of the consolidation election probably will mean that these children for the most part will be denied opportunity to at tend high school next year, unless they go outside Pasquotank Coun ty for It.
