The current request
second in three yean
way has made to t
its Rateigh-Norfolk _ ,
the company was granted _
to discontinue carrying passengers
on the trains which the railway now
wants to remove, altogether, from its
schedule.
Reason for the petition, claim
officials of the Norfoflt Southern, is
that the cancellation of the mail con
tract on November 1 makes It im
possible for the company to operate
the train without a tremendous loss.
Express provides the piiniiijQF.'Source
of revenue. Earlier in the tnona^pc
company discontinued these trains
without permission of tee State
Utilities Commission, which secured
a court order requiring tee trains to
be reinstated pending a formal hear
ing and the rendering of a decision
by the Commission.
It is understood that tee express
company will make arrangements to
serve this area by truck If tee trains
are removed. Such an arrangement,
however, could result in poorer ser
vice and it is against such a situation
that local officials are opposed.

Arch Flanagan is associated with
such a large numb#? of worthwhile
causes that linking Id* name w*h an
extra project or two no longer seems
surprise. Lateet task conferred upon
Arch, who chalrmaned the Farm
Bureau's most successful member^

other civic activities, is connected
with the terracing work. Ha was
elected chairman'of the district, at a
