among the things that favor

following:
"A bigger and better port.

1.-The encouragement of agricul-

Increased industries.
'In this connection, I believe that
better roads in and out Of Will

I further feel that we would profit
greatly from an East-West High
way reaching into the industrial
area of the South; I also feel that
we should encourage aviation in
all of its aspects, as believe our
geographic location is as favorable
as any in the South.
Hospital Needs
Having served on the New Han

Associated Charities, and other as
sociations, I can feel need for
better hospitals and care for the
insane and INDECENT peop-e as well
as for dependent children. I be-

field can be made without cost to

''In closing, I would like to say
that Wilmington is at last waking
up to it's industrial possibilities,
and much is being done to en-
courage industry to come to New
