Armory Is Planned
For Harrington
Building Of Two Bus Terminals
However, Is Out

It does not appear Harrington
will have a downtown bus terminal
at least in the opinion of an OFFICIAL
of Carolina Trailways, who address
sed a recent dinner meeting Of the
Chamber of Commerce at a Har-
rlngtOn restaurant.
Another feature was the appoint
ment of a real estate committee to
check on sites for the armory,
which locations are to be recon-
mended to the City Council.
W, H. MOOrefeld, the bus COM
pany, explained that it was ineifi-
cient to have two terminals in one
community. He said that he knew
of only two cases where a com
mUnity had more than one terminal.
A downtown terminal was op-
Grated from Welch's Grocery until
March, 1853, when Welch gave it
up voluntarily. The main terminal
is at Peoples Service Station on
u s. 1S. It is operated by George
Paskey.
MoOrefeld said that with two ter
minals there was sometimes con
fusion. A passenger would get off
at one terminal and his baggage
would be unl0aded at another.
