COAST GUARD MEN
ARE HERE THIS WEEK
But They Are Not So Numerous As
In Former Years.

The Surfmon's Mutual Benefit
Association is holding its annual CON
vention in Elizabeth City this week,
Elizabeth City long having been a
favorite meeting place for this con
vcntion of members of the L. =. Coast
GuaId who are banded together for
fraternal and benevolent objects.
Less than hundred members of
the organization are in evidence this
week. In years gone by when the
men in the Life Saving Service went
off duty on the first day in June of
each year. the attendance at these
conventions number hundreds and
the occasion was deliberately cele-
bratcd. The Coast GuardSmen are
now on duty the year round and few
men can be spared from the stations
mt any one time. with the result that
few leave to attend the annual con-
vpntion Of their association.
But the entertainment of these in
attendance has not been altogether
neglected. The visitors were enter
tanned at the Chautauqua Thursday
afternoon and were the guests OF
members of the Merchants AsSOcla
tion at the kiwanis Banquet Thurs
day night.

PECAN AVENUE
ASSURED FACT
Everybody Taking Hold OF A
Big and Beautiful Idea

The Elizabeth City Woman's S
Club has taken hold OF DR..
John Saliba's suggestion for the
planting of an avenue of pecan
trees on the Ncwland Road be-
tween Elizabeth City and
South Mills, to make an ave
nue. OF thirteen and odd tenths
miles of pecans between Eliz-
abeth City and South Mills.
The idea is indorsed by the state
Highway Commission, the PaSquo-
tank County Highway Commission
and the Board of County Commission
crs. The Elizabeth City kiwanls
Club. the Rotary Club, Chambe: OF
Commerce and Merchants, Association
are heartily behind it. Enthusiastic
individuals have already offered cash
contributions for the purchase cf
trees.
But it is not going to be II costly
venture. 1t will require LOO trees
20 be spaced 100 feet apart on either
side of the road. These trees can 3n
purchased at 30 cents to Sl.0O each.
In some places rights of WAY will
be necessary for the trees. j. y.
Williams. member Of of the County
Highway Commission from Newland
township believes that the necessary
rights of way will be gladly granted
and will be enc of committee to
secure these rights of way from land
owners along the road. State High
way Commissioner WIN. A. Hart says
the State will gladly furnish labor and
superintendent for the setting out
If the trees and will maintain them
after they are planted.
1t is big and beautiful idea that
isn't going To cost anybody very much
and it is going to bring thousands Of
tourists To Elizabeth City in years to
ONE. say nothing of making the New
land Road one of the most famous
5oulcvardS in the South and increas-
ing the deSirability and value of every
icre of land on that road.
OF quite as much Importance to
Elizabeth City should be the stimulus
such public planting of pecan trees
will give to pecan culture in North
eastern North Carolina. AS pointed
out in this newspaper from time to
time, nowhere in America does the
pecan flourish better than in the soils
adjacent to Elizabeth City.

ELIZABETH CITY is TO
GET PASTEURIZED MILK
Winekream Company To Put Wagons
on Streets In a Few Days.

Elizabeth City is to get Pasteurized
milk from the Pasteurization plant of
the Winekream Co.. manufacturers
of ice cream. The Winekrcam Co.. is
preparing to put Il wagon on the
streets within the next few days to
deliver PaSteurized milk in bottles
to local consumers. making morn
ing and afternoon deliveries.
The sale of PaStcurized milk to the
Elizabeth City public is in line with
the plans of the Winekream Co.. to
create local market for milk pro-
,luced on the farm of PaSluotank and
adjoining counties. When the COM
pauy first began the manufacture of
ice cream here two years ago it could
not get enough milk from local
sources to operate its ice cream plant
ut anything like its full capacity. Milk
was purchased from Norfolk, Balti-
more and other places.
Taking the matter of Il milk sup
ply up with local farmers, the COM
pany was soon convinced that it would
BE unfair to the farmers to urge them
to produce much milk, since the de-
mandS for ice cream manufacturing
alone would be limited 1t was then
the Winekream Co. began to plan the
distribution of raw milk. But along
came the promotion of the Carolina
Dairy Products Co. with talk Of 4
creamery and the Winckream Co.
abandoned its plans for a season.
Recently the Winekrcam Co. took
over the Carolina Dairy Products Co.
and will proceed with its original
plans. 1t is said that as soon as the
section produces a supply of milk
in excess of demands for law milk
and ice cream, the company will en-
gage in the manufacture of butter.
An increasing source of supply of
raw milk is promised from the Fore
man Stock Farms, the herds of f..
Coppersmith, c. o. Robinson and
others.
Pasteurized milk will be welcomed
by Elizabeth City consumers. Pas
teurized milk is simply milk that has
been heated to a point where all germ
life in the milk is destroyed, and then
cooled by refrigeration.
