the children of the world through
the United Nations Children's
Fund.

others.
Each dollar collected will: treat
eight children for yaws, Grip
ping skin disease; vaccinate 100
children against tuberculosis; cure
four children of trachoma, an in
fictitious eye disease; buy enough

There active within this association, number of
people who let alone would beray this region into the
bondage of toll bridge Alligator River; they would
make this the single exception in the state where its
residents and its victims after paying the usual taxes
would be required to pay additional toll.
It is understood that residents of Wilmington
want additional bridge, and officials of the state
have been giving this group the sort of around
that has been given the Abemare area, with respect
the Alligator River Bridge
Within the Southern Albemarle Association, group
has been trying to get the New Hanover County folks

have been invited to attend the Belhaven meeting next
Wednesday,
Our contention is that if any group next Wednesday
votes to ask that the people of this be put under toll
bridge bondage they will not be representing the true sen

of any such betrayal of rights and interests then it will
appear to be time indeed to unite under other banner

am, in a position to know thai
some of our schools in this county
are in a deplorable state. However
the most, if not all of the county
officials that were in office during

the foregoing reasons it would b.
only a waste of time for this Crane

Appreciation was expressed fol
the fine instructions given BY
Judge Walter J. Bone, who is al
ways highly regarded in Dare
County, where he has presided

HIGHWAY COMMISSION
CALLS FOR BIDS ON
COASTLAND PROJECTS

Raleigh.-The State Highway
Commission last week called for
bids on ten projects involving 64.28
miles of road work in II counties.
The letting will be held October
80, in Raleigh. Three days later,
November 2, the Highway Com
missioners will meet in Winston
Salem at the Ninth Division office
to review the low bids received
and attend to other highway mat
tiers.
One of the major projects in
the letting calls for .93 miles of
grading, paving and structures in
the relocation of the Scuppernong
River Bridge and its approaches
on US "a in Columbia. The new
bridge will be built upstream of
the existing bridge which will be
retained. The new bridge will tie
in with the existing bridge and a
new section will extend south of
the old bridge. The new bridge
will be 1857 feet long and have
a 28-foot wide roadway. It will
also have 35-foot wide horizon
tai clearance for one span which
can be opened for passage of
boats. The contract calls for $50
working days which means it will
take about one year to build the
bridge.
In Dare County, a job calls for
27.9 miles of sand asphalt base
and paving on US "a from Manns
Harbors north to the Croatan
Bridge; on NC 345 from Fort Ra-
leigh, south to Roanoke Sound,
east of Wanchese and connections;

thankful that God spared my child
