NEW AIRLINE PROPOSAL

THE conference at Charleston on May 8 10
consider plans for an airline from Null
treal to Nassau, by way Of wilmington anu
Charleston. is of major Importance to THIS
citv. Such an airline will lessen the time IN
transit between the termini and AFFORD d
saving for passengers and express NY le
shorter route. It will bring the coastal area
into greater prominence and draw patronage
from the interior for at least $50 miles.
But. best of all, from the local viewpoint,
it will give Wilmington air service. Inc pro-
posal to be laid before the Charleston con-
ference is one of several in mind for linking
Wilmington to the nations airways, and it
will be the local committees duty to deter
mine whether this or one of the others Will
bes+. serve the city's needs. 1t has the ad-
vantage of placing us on a main line, instead
of a spur, as some among the other pro-
posals contemplate.
The fact that interested communities along
the route are so deeply interested in securing
the service that they are to frame a program
for scuring it offers additional incentive for
Wilmington's air-minded authorities to press
their claim for speedy improvement at Blue
thenthal airport needed to give it standard
rating. With the betterment program already
before the WPA and the city's q~uarries ready
to deliver needed materials, the time is op-
perfume to bring the project to the fore with

FULL OF PEP

That the Junior Chamber of Commerce pro-

Itching Wilmington and otherwise promoting
enterprises from which the city may expect
dividends in an aroused civic interest, the

at Bluethenthal airport on Sunday. There
could be no finer demonstration of the Jay
GEES determination to let no grass grow un,
der it's feet than this prompt decision to
sponsor a public exhibition Of flying.
This air show, of course, is incidental to
the major purposes of the Junior chamber. A
program for great accomplishment will come
later. But it shows that there are energy and
action in the ranks and gives promise that
Wilmington will have, in this group, a Vita

INDUSTRY IN THE EAST
Raleigh News and Observer

A survey of the Industrial possibilities In the
territory served by the Atlantic and East Caro-
lima railroad has been made, the operators of
the road announce. There is every reason to
believe that there are possibilities in this
region which deserve development. All the dis
advantages once ascribed to the coastal plain
of the South have long since Disappeared, if
indeed they ever existed. A large paper indus.
try has located plants in the area in various
parts Of the South. Resources in people AMI
materials are available. There is no reason why
Eastern Carolina should not share in the great
industrial development which in the past has
been too much restricted to the Piedmont.
The operators of the Atlantic and East Caro-
lima in this survey and the hopes which lie in
it should have the enthusiastic support of the
whole region. Even a prosperous agriculture
more wisely diversified than now, will not suf
flee to make eastern North Carolina the great
region it ought to be without the additional
balance Of a diversified industry.
Where there are factories near the fields
the people in both will be more secure.

was a citizen of the community in the fullest
sense, civic-minded and full to his finger-tips
with that rare human touch" that endeared
him in all of his myriad contacts.
DR.. Hill was anything but a man apart, as
is too often the case with unusual intellects.
He fell in love with Fayetteville when he took
up his charge here and although he was called
to a larger field of endeavor Fayetteville ever
held one of the warmest spots in his heart. He
maintained his contacts here and his frequent
visits after he moved to Richmond were bright
occasions to those who knew him here.
Although we all feel a deep sense of loss at
DR.. Hills passing, that loss does not compare
with the great and permanent gain to this
as the result of the impact of DR..
Hills magnetic personality. Fourteen years
have passed since he gave over the local pul,
pit but his influence remains in the hearts
and lives of the Fayetteville people he knew
and loved.
