B. L. Winchell, southern regional
director, and party of officials who
accompanied him ON his tour of in
spection of railroad properties. spend
ing a part of yesterday morning on the
bay, remained over for several hours
to view the street carnival which was
held yesterday afternoon in the in
terest of the United War Work cam
paign. The distinguished visitors had
intended to leave on their special at
o'clock yesterday afternoon, but
were persuaded to remain in Pensa-
cola for several hours longer, and were
guests at the San Carlos.
Mr.. Winchen had not previously
visited the naval air station, and was
frank to say that, in spite of the fact
tha he realized the importance OF
this branch of the service and the ex
tent of it's operations, that he had
had no conception of the mammoth
tarining school here. Owing to the
war restrictions having been partially
lifted, Mr.. WincheIl and party visited
many points of interest at the post and
naval air station, and witnessed soma
daring flights.
Mr.. Winchel1 is familiar with the
survey of this port in March, but said
that he had not realized the extent OF
improvements in this section of the
counry unil this trip south. In COM
menting on Pensacola proper, Mr..
Winchell paid tribute to the we'll
paved streets and the splendid hotel.
both Of which, he declared, compared
favorably with many cities many times
the size.
In referring to the development OF
this port, he stated that one asset
which this harbor lacks is a grain ele-
vaor. He said that this was one of
the primary reasons for the diversion
Of trade to New Orleans and Calves
ton, and that a grain eevlator would
prove Of much benefit in building up
this port, as it has in increasing the
export trade OF other southern ports
But Mr.. Winche1 believes that the
backbone of this country is going to
be agriculture and livestock, and he
said that one of the things that he
particularly noted in his two trips
south was the increase and improve
ment in livestock in this section.
