Club members said they hope
eventually to expand the pro =

in all the schools in Halifax
County
The first function of the exa-
limitations will be to determine
how many children there are in
the local schools who are suffer
ing from defective hearing, and
to bring attention of parents and
teachers to these defects.
The program of the club is one
which has been in the process of

once the 42-foot mark has been

In Roanoke Rapids this NOR
ming James w. Sears, superin-
tendent of Roanoke Mill Num-
ber One located on the bank of
the rivers, said his mill indica-
tors showed the river appeared
to have reached its crest local
ly about midnight and after re-
naming at high point for sew
eral hours had showed signs of
receding.
Sears said the measuring de-
vices belonging OF the mill had
been manned all last night in
view of the fact that flooding
was considered quite probable
had the river level continued ris-
ing. He said the mills chart
showed that the water had risen
to almost critical point during
the night. Watchers had orders
to notify key personnel in the
event the property started to
flood so machinery and other
material could be evacuated to
escape damage. The report was
that the water had risen to a
high point about midnight and
had remained at peak level un
til three or four o'clock this
morning before it started to re-
cede
1t was generally felt in this
area today, however, that any
immediate danger of a DANA
ging flood had again been a
verted, despite the fact that the
waters had risen to their highest
point of the year so far.

SAFETY DISCUSSED
At one time during the lengthy
meeting Chief Davis joined the
Board for a discussion of public
safety. He pointed out that the
narrow streets both sides of the
MORE MORE MORE
Roanoke Rapids Hospital consti-
tuted a traffic hazard and re-
commended that the street on
the North side of the hospital be
made one-way from Roanoke
Avenue toward Jackson Street
and that the street on the South
side be made one-way from
jackson Street to Roanoke Ave
nue.. A motion was adopted to
put the recommendation into eff
feet Immediately.
Another traffic hazard point
ed out by Commissioner Howard
Pruden was the area around the
hospital, post office and NUM-
cipal building, pointing out that
some regulatory measure be
adopted to regulate sped on Roa-
noke Avenue in the vicinity of
the Seventh Steet intersection.
1t was decided to make a cau-
ton light now in operation into
an alfred "Stop-then Go" reg
ulation light. This will mean
that all traffic must come to
stop, then proceed with caution
when crossing the intersection.
An ordinance was adopted
making it illegal to park on
Roanoke Avenue between First
and Third Streets and between
Ninth and Twelfth Streets be-
tween two and SIX a. m. The
same no-parl:ing ordinance will
be in effect on First, Second.
Third, Ninth and Eleventh
Streets between Hamilton and
jackson Strets and on Tenth
Street between Hamilton and
Madison Streets. The designated
business" area is to be kept
clear of all-night parkers to al
low street-sweeper crews to
operate equipment to clean the
streets while they are not filled
with traffic.
PAVING TO HALT

members on survey he had
Just finished on street condi-
tions with reference to paving
now in progress. He said the
Cline Construction Co., will have

winter because of bad weather
and will return about March Is
or April to continue the work
now IN progress. Freeman said
two motor graders will remain
IN the city and one operator will
stay on duty to keep all streets
passable during the winter
months. He said the construct
ion workers said they intend to
put topsoil on Madison Stree
between First and Third to
make it passable and said other
streets which have been dug up
for curb-and-gutter installations
will be put into shape for traf-
fic before the workers leave

tend to finish hard surface treat
ment on the streets which have
