FLOATS, TOO Chairman Tatem Urges Speedy Action on Part Of Every Committee Meeting in Plymouth, Friday, the program committee in connection with the celebrating of the comple tion and opening of the new Albe marle Sound bridge definitely set Thursday, August 25, as the day of the big celebration. It was assured at the meeting that the bridge would be completed by July 15 and the ap proaches ready for use by August 1. Previous tentative plans called only for a pageant which would 'prin cipally depict on floats outstanding historical events in the counties in terested in tjhe celebration. . How ever, the committee became unusual ly enthused when Richard D. Dixon, of Edenton, advanced the suggestion that the government be requested to re-enact the Civil War naval battle between Federal vessels and the ram "Albemarle," which took place near the site of the new bridge. Mr. Dixqn emphasized the fact that it would be an unusual climax to the day's activities and by it the entire Albemarle section would be placed before the eyes of the nation and result in a marvelous,, piece of adver tising. Then, too," explained Mr. Dixon, it,. would be an event in which each county had - eosie ' connection during the war period. It was recalled that ttte battle was fought at Sandy Point when the ram engaged Federal boats and single handed threatened Federal control of the sounds and even menaced the blockade. The ram, incidentally, was built by Gilbert Elliott, of Elizabeth City on the Roanoke River, and was later sunk at Plymouth. The entire committee greatly fav ored the idea which resulted in the appointment of Richard Dixon, J. W. Norman and O. L. Williams to work out plans for staging the spectacle. John W. Darden, chairman of the committee, has written for an ap pointment with Congressman Lindsey Warren when the matter will be dis cussed and proper steps taken to urge the government to re-enact the battle. - ! ! ,Jsr. Plans for floats from me various counties were also discussed, which will be carried out whether the naval battle is re-enacted or not In fact, several of the counties have already specified their subject Washington County will depict the ram "Albe marle": Chowan, the tea party: Pas 1 mintank. ilia first school:.
