THE ROANOKE BEACON Published Every Friday in Plymouth, North Carolina c. V. W AUSBON,.Owner J. F. AUSBON,.Publisher Walter H- Parnmore.Associate Editor Sl.nO A YEAR IN ADVANCE Address all communications to the Roanoke Beacon, Plymouth, N. C. Entered as second-class mail matter at the Postoffice Plymouth, Nor h Carolina, under the act of March 3rd, 1887. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1928 Commercial Officers In the reelection of all the officers of the Chamber of Commerce at the Monday evening meeting, the Beacon can discern a wise step for the reason that it continues the authority and the goodwill of the members to the officers that have been so active in apparntly success ful efforts to secure the erection of a series of bridges to span the Roa noke. Mid- le and Cashie rivers thus providing an outlet for North bound traffic. Plymouth has excellent transportation facilities in the two railroads, the three ship lines and the motor bus line that serves the people <>f this section. In addition to this there are paved State highways that enter into this town. Now if a Northern outlet can be effected this town will be idely located. For this reason commercialists have been persistent in their efforts to present this view to the highway officials. There is no direct criticism that can be directed at the officials that would discredit their ability to handle the matter of obtaining these bridges No one can question the wise steps that have been taken after deliberate consideration for the developement of these plans. So it goes w.thout saying that the reelected officers represent a wise step taken by the commercial electorate in retairing them in office. Delayed Business Sessions Only one criticism can be made of the meeting of the various organi rations in the town and that is, some fail to begin their business ses sion at the time appointed. In a recent session of the Chamber of Commerce the business session was delayed on account of trivial mat ters that were being discussed by the members when it seems to the Beacon that the business matters should come first and then the social chats. A number of members of the commercial body have expressed their views as dissatisfactory to the prevailing custom of the com mercial body in this particular. This is the only substantial criticism that can be directed at the commercial body. Teachers Meeting It has been the custom for teachers in the county to meet at least four times during the school term to discuss problems and their re midies in regards to their daily tasks. This time is well spent. Even though the children are allowed to leave school after the morning studies so that the teachers may attend these meetings the time is not wasted because these meetings enable the teachers to do more efficient work when they return. for ' ■>— “irv" ...3, natiTl study; curing ciAn A W/.Vioo! te».J.?,l?d tliscuao fndc *e conif arisions oi 'life’ eighth grades, in the schools of the county and the medias and various subjects u at are dedicated to their work. The social side of the meeting in which the teachers are thrown together for^the brief period is of some value also. O' o FARM NOTES O' 'O Farmers of Sw ain and Jackson counties sold ten carloads of apples for $3,000 this fall. Farmers of Scotland County are trying to have a cannery established in the county to use suplus produce. A H. Stallings of Spring Hope in Nash County cleared a profit of $131 last month Irom a flock of 240 Tancred Strain White Leghorn pullets. Better cheese cloth for the tobacco beds will cost a little more but will be worth the difference because it protects the young plant from flea beetles. w _ Common birds of North Carolina is the title of an illustrated booklet which may be had free of charge on application to the agricultural editor at State College. Two additional cars of fat hogs have been shipped from Beaufort County making 115 cars for this year. The animals were shipped co operatively by about 450 men. Club boys of Polk County who top dressed their cotton this year with Chilean nitrate were pleased with the increased yields secured says county agent John W Artz.
