UP TO INDUSTRY

The institution, a nonpartisan

ther:
Viewing the tendency toward
transfer of more and more So
cial-economic responsibility to
government, the question is
raised whether industry, by bet
ter handling it's pricing ap-
proach, cannot carry the re.
sponsibility for full and con-
tinuous employment more effec-
lively and at less cost than by
allowing it to slip over into the
hands of public agencies.
The magnitude of the task,
the remoteness and inflexibility
of public agencies, and the sus-

political manipulation, tend to
impair efficient and economical

RECORD BONITO

CAPE CHARLES, Va, July IL
James E. stansbury, of 1915 q

ured under the direction of the
Cape Charles Guide Association,
an affiliate of the State chamber.
Affidavits were taken at this time

Plans for Project Get
Increased Impetus

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va,
July 14.-With interest revived at
a recent meeting of national and
State officials, plans are being
pushed for definite action on a
proposed $12,000.000 bridge-tunnel
project across Hampton Roads
from Old Point Comfort to Nor
folk, forging an important link in
improvement of travel facilities in
this historic section of Virginia.
BUILT IN CIVIL WAR
Present plans call for a tunnel
from the Point to Fort Wool, a
island a mile offshore,
and bridge spanning the area
from Fort Wool to the Norfolk
side.
Constructed on a shoal before
the Civi! War, as an additional
means of protection of the en-
trance to Chesapeake Bay, Fort
Wool has long outlived it's useful
ness as a defense point, but would
be ideal for terminal point Of
the tunnel and bridge, according
to Army engineers who have sur.
veyed the. area. The length Of
the tunnel is estimated at $3.50
feet, while the bridge would span
distance of approximately 4,300
feet.
NEW TRAVEL ARTERY
Besides adding to the accessi.
bility of the many historic shrincs
in this area, the bridge-tunnel
project would open a new artery
of travel to the Chamberlin
Hotel and Beach Club, one of the
largest and smartest shore resorts
on the Atlantic seaboard. Resort
headquarters for over half a CEN
tury, the Chamberlain annually
plays host to thousands of pleas
ure seekers. and is a favorite ren.
denzvous for Washington's Off
