Drainage Meeting To Be Held at Clierry School Fridav Night ^ * O Necessary To Form Organiza tion To Secure Sponsors For WPA Project Cherry.—Further steps in the movement to reclaim thousands of acres of submarginal land along the Scuppernong River will be taken in a meeting that is to be held by inter ested citizens in the Cherry School Building Friday night at 8 p. m., ac cording to Stuart J.

Bailey, of Plymouth, will meet with the scores of citizens of the section who are ex pected to take steps to organize a sponsoring organization to take care of the share of cost which will have to be borne by the citizens. The Federal Government is expect ed by those identified with the move ment to provide about 70 per cent of the total cost through the WPA, in labor and in other ways. The State, through one of its agencies may arrange for 15 per cent, and it is believed that the citizens will have to put only about 10 per cent, the other 5 per cent coming from an un disclosed source. No one here would hazard an esti mate of the amount of money the project would require, but some said it would not be more than $30,000 for the entire project. Whether or not this estimate has any offioial basis could not be determined. Mr. Wodley said over 100 families, including about 1,000 persons, were interested in the effort to reclaim the timber and farm lands from Bull Pond to Cherry along the Scupper nong. An important feature is the fact that more healthful conditions would be provided in the section through the malaria-control plan to be followed. B.
