Nc This pillar was al for staging the bowl" as 90 as
possible, even though the Port City OF Progress treasure doesn
have a spacious and modern athletic stadium. AS we chron1cled be-
fore, the Exchange Clubs Bowl will likely lay the foundation fol big
e and better things in the way of a hptop sports card in Whining
ton.
One of the biggest reasons why this pillar endorses the Thanks
giving Day skirmish is the cause for which the Exchange Club is
conducting the event.
The major objective of the Exchange club In the sponsorship OF
the Bowl tilt is to raise funds to aid the cripple children II North
Carolina, who will be housed in two separate homes, n In the East
en part of the state and one in Western Tar Heeia.
Can you think Of any b better purpose ~ Well we certainly can't
This pillar would like to offer a suggestion, the Exchange Club
and YOU. dear readers. 1t seems as if nothing definite has been work
ed out concerning naming the Bowl. Such names a "AzaIea",
"Fish", and ocean Bowl", have already been linked with a port city
grid classic. These names would be fitting, but W e think better ones
can be secured if a contest is staged.
For example, let the Exchange Club select a committee, composed
of club members, to consider all suggestions in naming the Bowl.
SO IS to get plenty of interest from the entire State, W e think it
would be a good idea if "Bowl Contest be staged with the person
turning in the most suitable appropriate name being rewarded.
4 And for a prize, W e can't think of anything any better than two
season football tickets to all of Wlmngtons home games. It certain
tly would not take much time and two athletic tickets would be a
grand prize.
So, think it over members of the Exchange Club, and if any of
you readers have any suggestions, just shoot them to this pillar.
In closing, this operator once again doffs its hat to Leo Sykes
and his comrades in the Exchange Club for sponsoring the Bowl.
This pillar is all for the idea and will cooperate onehundred per-
cent!
