Keen interest and much enthusiasm have been mrniifested by citizens since the matter has bean under dis cussion, with very little opposition being voiced, giving authorities every reason to believe that this very im portant and progressive civic project will have a successful termination.

Urgent Need For Bus Station Cited I The Poet War Planning Board at its regular meeting, Tuesday night, centered most of its attention around the urgent need for a new bus star tion for the Town 'of Farmville. It was pointed oat that the present set-up is inadequate, there bring no accomodations or conveniences for the traveling public, also that as mat ters stood it is a blot on the pro- ] gressive, growing Town of Farm villa Negotiations have been underway between the N. C. Utilities Commis sion, the Carolina Coach Co. and town representatives for the past fev' months. It is understood that the Coach Co. has agreed that it would be willing to take a ten year lease on a building, which may be erected for this The opinion of the Feet War Plan-1 niag Board is that here is a real ap-| pertanity for someone to not only show civic pride for the advancement and progress of the Town of Farm vine but that also a splendid fa. be secured from the office of Kiwanians Om The Airl Bill Garner gave his fellow Kiwan ians and i inlllag gnnila ? iW) vara eat on Monday eroding W present ing one of the mat unique ad en tertaining programs they have had the privilege to see and hear.

Ml the program would go on the air by cour teay of WGTC. He asked Miaa Smith and Mrs. Jamaa for a couple of songs which were very entertainhig and called <m his master of ceremonies to take over. Charles really did a swell job of keeping everybody in stitches, with the aid of seven wnharu?wd bat. co operative Kiwandane. He. played the game of Truth and Consequences and the questions ha asked were unan swerable, so the seven members, pick ed by drawing names from a hat, were confronted with the consequen ces. To relate the antics can not begin to convey the amusement enjoyed, especially by those looking on. Henry Johnson pretended to shave by facial expression only, with Ms hands behind him; Louis Williams was a battleship in action using Ms arms and note for guns; Rod Williams pretended to pegt on a two way stretch corset; R. C. Copenhaver did a hula dance with a paper for a skirt; David Harris pretended he was diltlng a balky Ford and found the road block ed; Sonny Bradham did a strip tease but was stopped after removing his coat and vert, and Robert Monk pro posed to an imaginary person in a very intriguing way. For giving the beat exhibition, Louis Williams won the prize, a grand Elec tric steak broiler, presented by the radio station. This was decided by the amount of applause each contes tant received. Frank Allen welcomed as a new member Rev. E. W. Holmes, who an swered with a sfeatt talk and a clever story. Ed Nash Warren and Carol Modlm were guests for the occasion. Your reporter almost forget to aay that every one was informed, only just before sdjoomfcig, that the pro gram had not really been on the air. JAMBS A PULLER NEW FIELD MAN R. C. C.
