PROPOSAL MADE
HONORINC MOORE
To Hear Plan To
Change Name Of Com
munity Drive

Community drive which en-
circles Greenfield Lake may be
renamed Houston Moore drive e,
according to City Councilman W.
E. Yopp.
Yopp said the change in name
is to honor DR.. Moore, who was
instrumental in t h e development
of the park. He said the proposal
would be discussed at the n e x t
meeting of City council if all
members are present. He declined
to introduce the matter at the
special session of council Friday,
because only five of the seven
members were in attendance, he
said.
Greenfield Lake was also the
subject for discussion by another
group during the week. A mem
Der of the Wilmington Board Of
Realtors said a movement should
be undertaken to change the name
of the Lake to Wade Lake.
This suggested move would
honor City Councilman James E.
l.. Wade who vas public works
commissioner at the time that the
park was first developed.

1.-THE farmer who follows this
idea would increase his yearly in
come by at least 81, O0O-all from
just five cows, Edwards SAID.
And that So 1000, a sideiine ia.
come. is q good deal above the
total average annual income of
farmers in North Carolina" he
added.
Most tobacco and truck farmers
have to rely on their money COM
ing in but a few months out of the
year, he pointed out. 1.-THE straw
berry crop lasts two months at
the outside; the truck garden is a
two months proposition; and to-
bacco is good for only six
months" During the rest of the
yea, the farmer is without an in
come and usually has to get credit
to buy the necessities of life."
Milk, on the other hand, is a
1865 days-a-year business, with a
check coming in at least every
month";" Edwards said.
Edwards realizes he said, that
because owning dairy COW is a
365 days-a-year business, many
farmers shy from it. Cows must
be MIXED twice a day, every day,
but when the tobacco farmer sells
hi crop, he has a few months
during which he can sit back and
rest.
But if the farmers realize they
coult get more money from a
part : time milking business than
they're getting from all other
crops combined, I'm sure they
would start looking for their five
cows"
Not only would farmers In the
surrounding counties be giving
themselves a boost by selling
milk, Edwards said, but they
would also be helping the milk
consumers here.
He believes milk prices would
drop at least one cent per quart
if milk could be bought IDEALLY
rather than shipped 500 to LOCO
miles. In New Hanover county this
would amount to a savings of $751;
COO a year, according to Edwards.
Most of the milk bottled in Will
mington comes from western
North Carolina-1,00 900 miles round
trip Also at the present much o:
it is coming from New York,
Maryland, and Kentucky. During
the war milk was imported from
Wisconsin at a freight cost ct %
GEMS per gallon. he said.

v~estigate.
Barnes last night declined to say
il the Army had made any ar
rests or if any suspects were
known. Neither would he say if
any clues had been turned over
fiat might lead to a solution.
White, however, said no arrests
have been made to his knowledge.
He added that if authorities arrest
an Army man, he would probably
be turned over to Myrtle Beach
Army Aid field officials. Devoll's
body was still in Southport last
night, pending the investigation of
Coroner G. c. Fitzpatrick, White
said. The automobile was being
led by White, he said.
Sheriff White said there were no
signs that Devoll had struggled
with his attackers before the shoot

was shot before ne was placed in
