he served four churches in Hall

on a hard surface road. He en-
dorsed the action Of the group
and pledged his support.
Mrs. Robinson, who was intro
duced by Thorn as one Of the
women leaders Of the community
and one who knew and had been
in contact with Kerr Scott, De-
mocratic nominee for governor.
said that the contacts she had
received "give me renewed hope
for better roads in our county"
Following Mrs. Robinson's
statement, Torn opened til e
floor for discussion and restated
the purpose of the meeting in
response to a question. Thorn
said that the aim was to get
immediate better maintenance Of
the present roads and to work
toward a network of all wezther
roads.
Pressure Officials
Mitchell suggested that pres
sure be brought on T. ]. Nc
Kim. district highway engineer
at Ahoskie, by sending a delega-
ton to see him.
Pope counterad with the sug-
gestion that McKim come here
to see the conditions of the road.
He also took issue with Mitchell
on the idea of first putting pres
sure on McKin and suggested
that pressure be brought to bear
on c. F. Gore, division highway
engineer at Weldon.
Several people pointed out that
they had been to see Gore and
had got no action.
1t was suggested that Commits
sioner Evans, McKin, and Gore
be brought to the section to see
the condition of the roads.
After hearing the discussion for
several minutes, Thorn told the
group that the veterans idea was
to name delegation to contact
the highway officials about the
roads.
He asked for any other sug-
gestions as to how to begin &C
ton and when none were made
asked for help in naming three
persons from each community to
the delegation which would meet
with the highway officials to dis
cuss the situation.
