. The drive for funds in the Infan
tile Paralysis can^aign is still about
^:$80.00 short of the goal. The re-
;sponse of Ihe public has beeh very
encouraging, and the following let
ter, mailed last week by a Hoke
county mother, shows the importance
of the drive:
“J*lease accept the enclosed $1.00
as baby F- ’s contribution to the
Infantile Paralysis Fund. Last sum-
|her his little limb was paralyzed for
a long time, not from infantile par-
-alysi^ but from a skull fracture. It
was t>itiful to see the little leg lay
still so long. Then one day I saw
that little limb move. That was the
happiest day.of my life! Then I knew
tthe 'elation that comes to a mother’s
Sieart when her little child that has
S»e^ stricken with paralysis begins to
IRove her little limbs again.
“May the campaign be a great suc
cess.

Maxton, Feb. 5.—An airport to
cost half a million dollars w31 be
erected near Maxton, under the aus
pices of the Civil Aeronautic Auth
ority, sponsored jqintly by
and Lalirinbitrg. Options have been
taken on two sites, the John and
Lock McKinnon farm, two miles
north of Maxton and tiie McCaskill
farm, but it is probable tiiat the Mc
Kinnon farm win be chosen, as it is
preferred by the sponsors. Several
Other sites, however, pre being con
sidered. ' —
The airport will be Class 3, texiost
a duplicate of the Raleigh-Duriiam
airport. It will comprise approxi
mately 500 acres, with paved run
ways and will be one of the best in
the state.
The matter has been under dis
cussion here for about two weeks, but
no definite action had been taken un
til 'Wednesday ni^t, when the town
boards of Maxton and Laurinburg
and committees tiom the Robeson
and Scotland commissioaers met in
Maxton and decided to sponsor the
project
The CAA has allotted a sum of
$259,000.00 for the project, and this
will be match^ by a WPA ^totraeot
and the sponsors’ share.
The War Departinent win have con
trol ,and lise of the airport for the
duration of the emergency, and the
sponsors will be required to’take over
and operate tiie airport as a public
airport at the end of that period.
In addition to the airport, which
is to be located here for military rea
sons, there would be additional im
provements including a number of
buildings, and perliaps the construc
tion of highwa3rs from the two towns
