Raleigh Building Open

The Raleigh building at Maffit
Village, used during the war as {
huge community center building fol-
shipyard workers, is also under
consideration. If the site is favored
over the High school, extensive
alterations would be necessary t.
enlarge it and prepare it for the
estimated number of students be
lleved by the state to be interested
in attending school.
Wilmington and New Hanover
county were projected into the edu
cational picture recently in Ra'
leigh when a commission headed
by DR.. James Hillman, appointed
by Gov. R. Gregg Cherry, made q
study of the college situation in the
state and found that an estimated
5000 students would not be able
to get into any university or college
of the state next fall because of the
crowded conditions in existing
schools.
I,0VV In area
1t was learned that approximate
1y 1900 of this figure are young
men and women residing in South
eastern North Carolina.
Summoned to Raleigh for confer
ence with the governors commits
sion, Roland said New Hanover
would be happy to turn over is
educational facilities for a college
center, providing the state furnish
ed the necessary funds and faculty.
This the state, with federal assist
ance, is prepared to do, r land
was informed.
There are countless details yet
to be worked out" Roland said yes
terday upon his return from Pa
leigh.
Physical Survey
"We are making a physical sur
vey of the New Hanover High
school plan, and we are looking into
the Raleigh building at Maffitt
Village. At present, assuming that
a center is located here, we would
probably have to use the High
school plant on a night-shift basis,
while working forward to the en-
largement and repair of the Ra-
leigh building for a semi-perma-
nent school," Roland said.
The superintendent said he was
going back to Raleigh and an
other conference with state officials
June 81, and out of that meet
ing might come a definite decision.
1--WE would like an expression OF
the people of this county on the
proposal" Roland said.
Four-Year Term
The college centers proposed
would provide full four-year gen
eral college course to their stud
ents with qualified faculty supplied
through the State system. They
would be required for approximate
ly five years, state educators have
estimated.
In addition to Wilmington as a
proposed site. the state commit
tee headed by Hillman, has tenta-
lively selected Elizabeth City
Asheville, Goldsboro, and Rocky
Mount az locations for similar
schools.

A pair of So decisions held:

ruling was in the case Of Paul

necessarily required to be on the

NC GOOD ON FIGURES

The argument for the numbers
on the streets is that tourists and
even Key Westers can find their
way around the city easier. This
is a strong argument, because
tourists do have a tough time
finding their way around the
city now. However, one, of the
pleasures of hitting a tourist
town is going to the Chamber of
Commerce, getting a points of
interest folder and a map and
setting out to Sc the town. | did
this in Bermuda, St. Augustine,
Catalina Island, Los Angeles,
Hollywood and found my way
around quite nicely without ben
eft of street numbers. Another
nicesthing for tourists is stopping
some of the local citizens on the
street and asking the direction to
point of interest. People like
to do this because that way they
get to talk to the local folk. Key
Westers too who are quite friend
w with tourists seem to derive
enjoyment from giving these
directions and adding what 10
cal information they have on the
point of interest. The local
names which are from founders
and the quaint lanes all have in
terest for visitors who have talk
ed considerably about their lik-
ing Cor these names.

u. S. NAVAL STATION
Whitehead and Greene


Commodore David Porter, who
drove the pirates from the Keys,
made Key West a base of Navy
operations in 1922. The base was
abandoned after suppression of
piracy in this area. In 1856 the
Navy built a store house here,
but nothing further was done
until the outbreak of the Civil
War. During the Spanish-Ameri-
can War naval forces in the
campaign were based here. Dur
ing the World War Key West
was used as a base for vessels
and planes employed in anti
submarine warfare activities. In
unique plant varieties in the
yard are included the Indian
mulberry and pandanus or screw
pine. During World War IL, the
base greatly expanded and be-
came an important convoy CEN
ter, anti-submarine warfare base,
Fleet Sound School training base,
ship repair base, mine warfare
base and very large Coast Guard
base.
