William O'Dwyer rescinded
tonight a drastic and history

which closed many of the
city's great commercial en-
terprises for the day, shut
down it's multi-million dollar

paralyzed it's normal life.
After a day of great confu-
sion in which New Workers
lowered in chilly apartments
or walked the streets for lack
of other things to do, O'Dwy-
er rescinded the shutdown Or
der at 6 pm. (EST), saying
the emergency has been
somewhat relieved"
The order had been in effect
since last midnight because ST
a fuel crisis created by a nine
day strike of $500 tugboat
workers. Most of the city's oil

boat from New Jersey.
Hopes Rise Again
Hope for a settlement of the
strike rose tonight when the En-

Union would give priority to i'm
proving the standard of life of it's
own people or to the development
OF military power.

gram In Next Three Years
Set By Governor

WINSTON-SALEM, Feb. -21-W.H
Gov. Gregg Cherry tonight prom
ised the people of North Carolina
a $500, 000,000 (m) road building
program during the next three
years.
Speaking before the annual meet
ing of the Winston-Salem Automo-
bile club, Cherry said that this
an-time record road building pro-
gram would assure "a marked i'm
provement of the secondary road
system.
II am happy to say" he added,
that none of this money will have
to be borrowed
Farm To Market Roads
Within a few years time, the
Governor said, Il believe we can
predict that all school bus routes,
all roads leading to rural churches
and most of the farm to market
roads, will be classified as all
weather roads. All this will be done
without going into debt"
He said that he regarded a good
transportation system as necessary
to a well-balanced state, adding
that the highways are the avenues
of travel between the farm and
the factory, the home, the church
and the school.
1.-THE anticipated growth of our
state in the postwar PERIOD" he
declared, will be greatly assisted
by dependable all-weather high
way system.
Roads For Products
1.-THE cigarette in your pocket,
made from tobacco grown on farms
in Eastern North Carolina, manu-
featured by the factories in Pied
month North Carolina, were prob
ably transported each time in the
various steps of manufactu . /.
by truck transportation.
''The towels, sheets, and furni-
ture in your home were probably
never moved except by truck on
our highways.
''And so the warp and wool Of
our economic fabric will be woven
as the trucks laden with products
of forest, field and factory, shuttle
back and forth across the highway
system
Security To Families
He SAID that North Cardinals
highway SYSTEMS value could not
be computed in dollars and cents,
but that it must be measured by
the security it affora8 to the farm
family as it provides access to the
many necessary places of COM
