?? ??_ .... ? ?? Bridge Formerly Opened With Elaborate Ceremonies - I. Long Structurt Over Chowan Dedicated Wednesday With Exercises Unique And Im pressive. No Such Spectacle Seen By This Generation In j State As That Wednesday At Edeahouse. Edentbn, July 20.?Triumphing over seemingly insurmountable meteorolo gical obstacles, Old Albemarle form ally reannexed itself to North Caroli na today in the celebration of the opening of the great bridge over the Chowan, river, welcoming within its gates a great host of Tar Heels from beyond , the river over which it has built a highway, and entertaining them in a fashion that must be entirely new to people compelled by unhappy cir cumstances to live beyond the rivers. Somewhere in the annals of the State there may be a duplicate of the celebration that was staged todj?y, but it would take an older man than even Lycurgus Hoffler, of Gates, to remem ber it. Certainly there have been no such spectacles presented to the mod ern generation as the formal severing .of the' ribbon stretched acrross the bridge and the symbolic opening of the gates between here and the rest of North-Carolina. On the bridge and on the roads lead ing to^it were assembled thousands of II .North LaiuilulihJ, I waters of the river where were scores I of naval and civilian craft, bearing I other hundreds. Overhead drifted, as I the ribbon was severed, two big dirig I ibles bent down by the army air ser I vice, and above these, sweeping in I grat Circles, a fleet of airplanes from I both the army and navy air services. Frcm the eastern end of the bridge ? advanced the representatives of Old ?Albejparie. From the western end of ?the hndge earn* the representatives ?of Carolina. They met at the ?slender white ribbon that stretched ?across the roadway and while the ?btM^ played and the throngs yelled ?thoiyotwn hoarse, and the monotone ?of aircraft motors droned at obligate, MUw^hbon H^Virgmia I fhrjein mwBtr -nr puMed^TfSihl Local Rotary Club Entertains Rotary Anns' At Bayview * ?
