Hugh c. Jones of the Arlington

pretty clear he doesn't know any
thing about it."

An ardent law scholar, he gradu-

came to be the Institute.
Some of the services the Insti-

"Since we took the airport over

Flowers and bulbs were shipped

it is expected that this service
will be continued this year.
Hewlett says, II had a part in
it, as what we thought then as
a community necessity" Frank

other members of the board who
helped make the start.
Hewlett says he has peen up a
few lines. II am a good enthusi-
asst of the airport, but not a good
flyer" he says.
One of the greatest problems to
confront him in his career was
the improvement Of roads. BY
1923 the county had a good road
system. Since then the state has
taken over road control.
1--WE have had a lot of progress
in school building. From the
standpoint Of having ample facili-
ties, l don't reckon there is any
in the state who has any bet

here. Somehow we found the mon.

MEN KEY TO TIEUP
Southern Federation Re-
ports Union Is Ready To
Tie Up N. c. Service
BY The Associated Press

Maintenance men, scheduled to
at 6 am. Monday with
thousands of other North Carolina
telephone workers, seemed today
to be the key to how seriously the
impact would be felt in the state
If the near future.
The Southern Federation of Tele-
Workers headquarters IN
Atlanta said Saturday it was pre-
pared to tie up service in North
Carolina and eight other southern
states.
Southern Bell said today that in
the event Of a strike service il
dial exchanges would continue to
funcation normally, thus allowing
local calls to 60 through in many
places. Supervisory personnel,
who will operate manual switch
boards for emergency long
distance calls only, will also watch
the intricate dial mechanism,
which requires frequent. adjust
ment. Should breakdowns beyond
their capacity occur. Even local
calls will be affected.
North Carolina district manag-
ers of Southern Bell said the
Southern Federation of telephone
workers operates on an open shop
basis in this state. The managers
said supervisory personnel, who
are not members of the independ.
ent union, and ANY others o. the
company who want to work" will
man the switchboards.
Meanwhile strike committees
planned to picket all North Caro-.
Ina exchanges.
The union is asking wage in.
creases ranging from SIS to $40 E
week. The company has said i
would be unable to pay the wages
asked without a substantial in
crease in rates.
The Southern Federation is at.
filiated with the Independent Ma.
tional Federation of Telephone
workers.

Board Chairman
Sees New Hanover Grow

Addison Hewlett, Sr.. chairman
Of the New Hanover County Board
of Commissioners, who last year
celebrated his 10th birthday, is
the son of a former Masonboro
farmer.
As a boy, Hewlett fished- and
hunted and worked on his father
farm as most other country boys
did. In a small boat he would
fish up and down the still waters
of the sound, and occasionally
would venture out to the rough
waters of the ocean
After finishing grammer school
he attended high school and says
of this, 1--WE had no high school
then, just a high school teacher.
He attended Wake Forest dur
ing 1900. He says he did not work
his way and "E it cost as much
then as it does now, 1 probably
wouldn't have gone"
Il liked chemistry and history
the best. We had an exceptionally
good teacher who made the
course more interesting"
After leaving college he went
back to the farm at Masonboro.
In December. 1916 he started
on his career in the county gov
eminent and became a member
Of the board" In August, 1920,
he became chairman and has held
that position since.
The nucleus of the present-day
modern Wilmington airport was
begun in 1925. Hewlett says, 1.-THE
county owned a piece of land at
the side of Bluethenthal field and
there were some boys around who
wanted to fly, so we went out and
pulled up a few stumps and made
