Beanery” To ‘ White House* By Herbert L. Knight On May 13th, 1927, Mr. and rs. John Sheffield launched sir restaurant service venture Wallace. Their first business _was a lunch wagon, built Tat boards, tin and, in fact any piece of material that John could ; And to protect his business tnd • customers from the weather. But quality and service always find a way, and the business thrived. The scene changes to 1937. The “match box” lunch wagon taniig today in John Sheffield’s back lot, a relic of by-gone days, symbolic of the struggle, of hard work and honest cooperation to grow through a service well rendered. In its stead, on the site where it formerly stood, is the new, beautiful, modern and popular White House Cafe. That in brief, is the chronolo gy of Wallace’s White House Cafe, and If caterers enter the ftarly Gates and have to sub mit a biographical sketch of their records here on earth, then we venture the assertion that the script of John and' Naomi will carry the title line: “From launch Wagon to the White House in one short decade.” _Welcome, Mrs. Roosevelt— Penderlea The best news we could have on Penderlea would be: A good ^soaking rain.

Several regular freight and barge lines operate regular schedules between various points, and their facilities have been greatly expanded during the past three years. A line op erating out of Wilmington, Wal lace’s closest neighboring city, was a pioneer in such transpor tation, and their vessels ply be tween Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland points. Adequate dock age exists at many ports touch ing on the waterway, so that almost any kind of freight may be handled. Since the opening of the so called “barrier” section through the North Carolina marshes in 1933, freight of many different kinds have been hauled through the waterway, this consisting of bulky materials, such as, fertili ser, coal, sugar, feedstuffs, lum ber, poles, etc. Recently there has come into being quite a traf fic in pertoleum products, many tankers making regular runs a long the coast via the inside course. The entire canal has a length of approximately 2,000 miles, and although the Dismal Swamp link was started back in Colon ial days, the various private cor porations which at one time or another completed other sec tions, were never able to coordi nate their efforts to the extent of converting the waterway into a through canal. These conditions existed when the federal government took ov er the job several years ago, and under the guidance of the engin MOVIE HEROINE PREACHES EVILS OF DOPE Reporting how a former film favorite, whose career was ruin ed by drugs, broke herself of the habit and now crusades against the evil.

The main part of the waterway through the North Carolina coast country has a depth at mean low water of 12 feet, while the bottom width is 90 feet The top width is 150 feet but this is augmented in many places by the natural depth of the wat er. Once criticized as a useless ex penditure of government funds, the inland waterway has prov ed to be of inestimable value to operators of coastwise shipping vessels on the Atlantic coast, as it affords a protected, shelter ed water route from New York to Miami. Yatchtsmen also find it a boon to their annual fall and spring treks to the resort sections of the southeast. Once but a deserted stretch of marsh land, inhabitated by waterfowl and an occasional oyster tonger or fiisherman, the region through which the canal passes is now teeming with craft, large and small, with their numbers in creasing each year. Shippers throughout Eastern Carolina were once lukewarm, or frankly outspoken against the canal not so long ago, but now they know it to be the means of saving many a dollar would otherwise have to be i out on higher rail _._.~_ tion.
