Iberia for the next state conven-
ton that Ruston was on the point
of withdrawing once, but in view
of the fact that the only three par
ishes on the route in which the
route is not yet blazed, the money
has not been voted and the work
has not been started, lie in the
the north end of the State, and it
was felt that the State convention
would be an inspiration to greater
efforts there. Ruston was the
winner in a tight fit. Then came
the suggestion of the SociabiIity
Run and it was adopted without
an opposing vote.
Every parish through which
the Pershing Way runs was rep
resented by strong delegations and
statement as to conditions sur
rounding road work in the various
parishes, over the route selected
showed that with the exception
of Grant, Lincoln and Winn par
ishes, the money either has beeu
voted or is about to be voted AMI
that work either is under way or
that preliminary steps to letting
contracts have been taken. With
the exception of twenty-three
miles in st. Landry parish, the
route from the Arkansas line into
New Orleans could be completed
in year. The st. Landry situa.
ton is clearing now through the
consolidation of road districts un-
der a parishwide plan.
sOfficers were chosen as fol-
lows: Arthur w. Van Pelt Of
Houma, president; Jay Davidson
of Lafayette, vice-president; H. u.
Bryan of Verda, secretary-treas
urer. The board of directors IS
composed of these and nv. j.

ishes IN north Louisiana had
made such poor Roadway on theil
road building projects, that the
convention would add stimulus to
the situation, and many of tha
north Louisianians voted for Rus
ton.
Mr.. R. d. Nibert of Bunkie, in
view of the fact that New Tberia
had lost the convention by foar
votes, proposed that consolation
event in the way of the first
socialbility run of the Pershing

the Salt Mines probably will be
one of the features Of the event
and will cost the Pershing Wa

-iFirst Sociabi1ity Run of Pershing
Nay to be Held in NeW Iberia.
Securing Content in Marc

The Pershing Way Association
will hold it's first sociability rni
to New Iberia some time in July,
This was the pleasing news that
drifted in the Office of the Enter
prise this week and as a result the
City of New iberia will be given
wide publicity in every newspaper
and Journal published in the South,
not to mention national high
way magazines published in large
centers throughout the entire
United States.
The Pershing Way Association
conv ention was held in Alexan-
dria last Tuesday, following the
Louisiana State Secretaries Con-
yention on the previous Monday.
both organizations taking up
hs1r respective projects in ale-
day conferences.
Frank Noel, manager of the
New Iberia Chamber of Commerce,
was the lone representative OF
Iberia Parish, sent there by the
leading local organization to rep
resent the Parish. Other delega-
tions from northern points of the
State numbered all the way from
five to ten representatives each,
but the lone member from New
Iberia made himself heard from
before the Pershing Way Conven-
ton closed, New Iberia being Civ
en- the distinction of being the first
City in the State to hold socia-
bility run over the entire route Of
the State.
Parties in automobiles will start
simultaneously from New Orleans,
Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Alex
andria, Ruston, WINFIELD, Crow
ley, Lafayette, Houma, Opelousas,
Bunkie and other points through
out the State with New Iberia as
the terminus.
According to information gath
cred from one Of the delegates
from another Parish in South
Louisiana the delegates from
north Louisiana outnumbered the
delegates from South Louisiana
at least four to one, but Mr.. Noel
made such a strong plea for the
merit convention Of the Pershing
Way Association to be held In
March 1921 that he swung. over II
number Of delegates from north
Louisiana to his way Of thinking.
The vote was close, Ruston getting
the next Convention by margin
Of four votes, which certainly was
close, considering the fact that
approximately one hundred dele
gates voted on the selection of the
next convention.
Mr.. Noel emphasized the fact
that New iberia was the garden
City on the Bayou Teche and
therefore the logical spot for the
next convention. but the consensus

ing to Manager Frank Noel, the members
of the Chamber of Commerce responded
in . most pleasing manner to furnish
motor cars for transportation as the
motor car bus operating between New
Iberia and Franklin is inadequate to
furnish all transportation facilities nee
essary to accommodate the visitors who
will be here.

Louisiana have been here for the past
two days in convention and will 60 as
