explain the objects of the program
Meetings similar to this one will be
held at Louisburg at 2 o'clock and in
Oxford at 4 p. M, both tomorrow.
Whether the conservation services
will broaden the scope of it's work to
cover the entire county will be de-
termined by the vote of those at the
meeting tomorrow, and a mere ma.
jority will decide the matter. The
work carried on is largely of an
erosion control nature.
The work has been under way in
the Tar river basin for the past year
in parts of Vance, Franklin, Gran
vile and Person counties. The pro
posal now is to embrace the whole of
Vance, Franklin and Granville coun-
ties.
If the vote tomorrow is favorable
to the expansion of the work, &C
tivities of the organization will affect
only those who desire it's service
which is free. Utilization of it's work
is wholly voluntary on the part OF
land owners.

spread for such small body, nature
giving them powerful wings for long

NAVY CIVESUP
EAGLE BOATS
Little Sub-Chasers of War
Days Are Declared
Outmoded
By OTTO JASSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 4. (UP).
The navy's Eagle" boats herald
cd during the World war as valu-
able aids in the campaign against
German U-boats, will go INTO the
discard May 10.
7 20 boats of this type, now at
the Philadelphia navy yard, VIII
be sold to the highest bidder.
Eight others are now in commlS-
sion as patrol and training boats.
The Eagle" boats when built
represented a new departure IN
American naval construction, but
the Armistice occurred before
their production was on mass
scale. Navy experts commcnteH
on the sale announcement with
the observation that all types OF
warcraft must undergo long pc
Rod of experimentation IN order
to be successful.
The Eagle" boats were deVcl-
oped during the World war, Wheh
large numbers Of fast vessels were
urgently needed to combat the
German submarine menace.
FORD BATTERED PLAN
To meet this need, Henry Ford
proposed the construction OF a
2OO-foot, 5OO-ton submarine chaS-
cr on mass production basis.
Plans for the boat were studied,
believed feasible and the navy
placed an order for 100 OF the
craft. Twelve others were ordered
