FIRST DEBATE OF CLASS
SERIES

During special assembly Monday
groups three and four of the debating
club of the public speaking class de-
bated on the following question:
Resolved that the u. S. should re-
tain permanent possession of the
PHILIPPINE Islands" The judges were
Mrs. Lefebvre and Miss Peterson and
their verdict was in favor of the af-
firmative side. In judging the ad-
dress, points, posture, enunciation,
continuity of thought, force and re-
buttal of the speakers on both sides
were taken into consideration. Groups
one and two will debate ON Thursday
and the two winning teams must then
debate on Monday again to find out
which team is the best. The fact tina.
they do not have to 90 through the
ordeal of another debate is quite a
consolation to the losing sides.
Three debating teams were formed
at the beginning of the new year and
the students had been ct work on
their speeches for the last two weeks.

Mr.. Ford and party journeyed out
to the woods Wednesday morning,
looking over the logging operations

ly after twelve, when the saw mill
was again visited.
Besides purchasing the mill prop
erty, Mr.. Ford has also acquired a

property gives him nearly two miles
of frontage which extends about
half a mile west of the red rocks.

vate coach. Cheers were given after
which Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Kingsford
spoke briefly. More cheers were Civ

GIRLS BASKETBALL
TOURNAMENT

One of the most thrilling basket
ball games ever playedy on a L'Anse
floor took place last Friday night
previous to the Michigamme game,
when the Junior class girls defeated
the Senior class girls "a to 81. The
at the end of the first half being 10
to II for the Juniors. During the last
half both teams seemed to tire and
the amount of scoring was small but
the game was, close and one score
might mean defeat for either side.
This was the first game of series
of class games to be played. In the
near future the Freshmen and Soph-
omores will play and the victors of
that game will play the Juniors for
the girls high school championship.

"Day by day, in every way, L'Anse
will grow larger" was the gist Of the
comment made by Henry Ford, the
motor king, who with his party was
in L'Anse Wednesday on an inspec-
ton trip of the Stearns & Culver saw
mill and timber holdings which he
recently purchased.
Henry Ford was interviewed by a
stated that his plans for the future
include the erection of ore docks on
L'Anse bay for the shipment of his
iron ore from his mine. the Imperial,
at Michigamme in Spur township.
Five hundred tons or ore are being
mined there each day.
He also state that large dry 1ilns
will be erected here to dry the lum-
Der before it is shipped.
The saw mill is also due for many
improvements, the Ford scheme call
ing for the elimination of waste and
the speeding ~ on the manufactur-
ing of lumber, the parent plant in
Detroit being in great need of ship
ments of lumber. The product even
now is being rushed daily from the
yards here.
The large burner at the mill will
soon be taken down and the thou
sands of cords Of wood formerly
burned as refuse will be ground up in
large hog and used for fuel here
and at the mine near Michigammc.
The cutting of thick slabs will also
soon be a thing of the past. The
logs will be just SKINNED or un-
doubtedly a horizontal saw will be
installed in the mill here as at Iron
Mountain which allows for cutting
of lumber as close of the outer edee
will permit, the log being split by
the band saw and then sent to the
horizontal saw. SQUARES will also be
sawed out Of the thicker slabs.
The logginp railroad will possibly
be entirely rebuilt next summer, the
grades being reduced and the curves
eliminated. New bridges and cul-
verts will he built and thirty-fve
thousand EIGHT foot cedar ties, which
are now being cut in the mill, will be
laid. Mr.. Ford said that if nossible
standard gauge track would be put
in and the present narrow gauoe
track taken un and innked. The rail
road if standardized would REQUIRE
new engines and cars and in fact en-

MICHIGAMME DOWNS L'ANSE
IN FAST GAME

In a game marked with fast and
brilliant playing Michigamme defeat
ed the L'Anse high school boys by a
score Of 16 to 9 last Friday night in
the school gymnasium.
During the first half L'Anse was
unable to break through the Michi-
CANINE defense and the half ended
with the score IL to l in favor Of
Michigamme.
In the last half the LAnse boys
outclassed their opponents and won
the half 8 to 4 but were unable to
overcome Michigamme's lead.
A coed sized crowd showed its 10y
atty to the team and its love of bas-
ketball by a long wait previous to the
pame, which resulted from the South
Shore train being over an hour late.

BIG RESORT FOREsEEN
ON CURRITUCK BEACH
Folks Here Think Road to Currituck

About

The possibility of a summer resort
of considerable size on Currituck
Beach opposite Currituck Courthouse,
20 miles from Elizabeth City is fore
seen by many business people of this
city. now that a hardsurfacCd road
from Elizabeth City to the County
seat of Currtuck is assured. Those
who favor Currituck Beach rs sum-
mer resort say it is just what EliZ-
abrth City people are looking for,
especially the business men who want
some place they can reach and get
away from quickly.
The heads of the usual one man
business in Elizabeth City want re-
creation. but can't be away from
business on business days. They point
out that Curriruck Beach can be
reached in two hours any time it be-
Ing only 20 miles to Currituck court
house. and only about IL half hour $
run by boat across Currituck Sound.
There would be two advantages IN
owning cottage in the vicinity OF
Currituck Sound. it is pointed out.
! Besides having it for summer use, II
would be good place to slip away
TO for a hunting trip during the wild
fowl season.

We might as we'll be candid about it and ack-

material Offered the electorate OF Elizabeth CITY Tor
municipal ticket than appears in the announcements
OF candidates for the Board OF Aldermen to date.
One wonders how some Of these aspirantS for Al
dcrn1anic honors have had the heart to show them
selves since there is a State Wide tick eradication
law now in effect, making the de-bugSing of tick
infected cattle compulsory. Elizabeth City is in a
fair way to get regular monkey on its hands
for the next two years at the one cpocha period
in its history when there must be monkcy-buSl-
ness in municipal affairs.
Tie Board OF Aldermen that Elzabcth'Clt Will

Ecst business undertaking in the citys history we
arc going to spend nearly million dollars lor
electric lights, water and sewerage. We are gong
to tear up every street i'll the city and every toot OF
street paving will have be rclad. With tins million
dollar business in addition to the carrying on OF the
usual departments Of the cltyS activities, we are
in lair way to turn the business OF the city over to
let OF small ncighborhood yokels whose business
capabilities hardly exceed the managerial require
mcnts OF pop shop billiard parlor. The lead
inc citizens OF the town are showing little serious
concern to date 1t is true that most OF them are
wrapped up i'll the religious reVlVals thiS week.
saving their own souls and the souls OF their neigh
bours But no matter how much religion they get
they will lose it all after May IS cussing new city
administration, If they don't look out
We haven't enough broadmindcdness and CIVIC
nndcdness in our town. The average citizen doesn't
want to be bothered by the towns affairs. The
average citizen seems to figure that he would rather
pav few more dollars in taxes for the mistakes and
graft OF bad administration, than to lose little OF
his time helping to make things right. When
healthy interest is developed it is usually III ward
contests that concern the progress of the city as
whole.
Elizabeth City needs broad-minded, intelligent
patriotic public servants as it never needed them
before 1t is time for the best citizens to offer the
city their services to help make Elizabeth City good
town in the sight of God, good town to live i'll and
4 good town to raise ones children in. The ideal IS
worth any sacrifice.
There are eight members of the Board OF Alder
men to be elected Elizabeth City needs eight
honest-to-God men for eight mems jobs.
