CHADBOURN, Dec. 8. — Last
week Bill S. Edmunds, secretary
of the Chadbourn Chamber of,
Commerce, took us to see some
tangible proof of the progressive
ness of the Negroes in that town.
They have practically complet
ed .only some interior work re
maining to be done, a $40,000
community center. It is a mason
ry building, with steel trusses,
sixty by one hundred six feet.
It is used for basketball, dances,
social gatherings, graduation ex
ercises and the many uses to
which a Negro Community cen
ter can be put. It was put up and
owned by twenty Negro stock
holders. The officers of the stock
company are T. M. Reynolds,
president; Leonard G. Muldrow,
vice-president; E. F. Dees, sec
retary.
Reynolds is director and pianist
for a number of musical groups
including a female trio that has
appeared on several radio pro
grams and is very popular. He
is instructor of a vocational agri
culture class with an enrollment
of fifty-two. He has a veterans
class of eighteen. He supervises
a community cannery that put
up ten thousand quarts of food
this year. We passed by a new
Negro church, a handsome build
ing, on the way to the community
center.
We drove by two outstanding
attractive farm houses, those of
Mrs. Lee Yates and Mr. and Mrs.
Jim Davis. Both are diversified
farms.
Chadbourn is the junction for
two Atlantic Coast Line railroads,
one running from Wilmington to
Florence and the other from El
rod to Conway.
Chadbourn is truly a market

ing center. D. M. Carter and
Sons provide a year-round mar
ket for farm produce, poultry,
and grains and have hammer and
grist mills for farm feed and
corn meal. There are four tobac
co warehouses. There are two
livestock markets. The Chad
bourn Marketing Company is a
market mainly for strawberries.
It uses the auction sale and so
successful has it been it has been
used as a model by several other
towns. The Jones Peanut Com
pany buys and processes peanuts.
The Chadbourn Potato Storage
Company buys and stores sweet
potatoes. D. W. Peal operates a
cotton gin, the only one in Co
lumbus county. Bailey and Peal
are produce brokers. R. F. Cov
ington is a cotton buyer and
a market for pulpwood' The
Chadbourn Veneer Company
buys timber. The white school
operates ^ community cannery.
Success with organizations is
one of the very best measures of
the progressiveness of a town.
Chadbourn has a Chamber of
Commerce, W. L. Albright, presi
dent; a Rotai'y Club, G. L. Blake,
president; a Civitan club, Her
man Carr, president; an Ameri
can Legion; a Memorial Associa
tion ; the Maids a nd Matrons
club; the Sorosis Club, an East
ern Star Chapter; an American
Legion Auxiliary; Methodist,
Baptist, Presbyterian, churches,
the Full Gospel Tabernacle, the
Saint Michael's parish of the
Catholic church. The Negroes
have the Baptist, Free-Will Bap
tist, Holiness. A. M. E. churches.
Chadbourn was incorporated in
1886. As towns go it is yet a
youngster. But it is growing rap
idly. It is a trade center and
a market center. It bids fair to
regain its rank as the largest
strawberry market in the world,
lit is a leader in livestock produc
tion. It, has civic determination
and civic leadership.
We think the finest thing to be
Said of Chadbourn is that it is
'genuinely appreciative of the
fact that its foundation is the
prosperity of the fanners in its
BOARD APPROVES
LAYING OF CABLE
ACROSS CAPE FEAR
New Hanover county commis
sioners approved yesterday the
proposed laying of another power
cable on the bed of the Cape
Fear river between Eagle Island
sub-station and the power plant
trade area. Chadbourn knows the
farmers by name. It knows what
ftie farmers are accomplishing
as builders of a fine section.
There is no high hat attitude in
Chadbourn towards the farmers
who use Chadbourn as their trade
and market center. Therein is the
substantiality of the hope of
Chadbourn for future growth.
at the foot of Castle street by the
Tide Water Power company.
The action was taken by the
commissioners when the com
pany's application for a permit
to the U. S. District Engineer's
office was presented to the coun
ty board by the Federal gov
ernment.
Persons having objections to
the Tide Water plans for the
submarine cable may file pro
tests with the engineers office
prior to December 12.
Officials of the company point
ed out yesterday that the cable
in question has been on order
for two years and that it is to be
laid to provide additional capacity
for power conveyed across the
river in case a ship should sever
one of its other existing cables
or other circumstances should
occur to decommission one of the
cables.

—The FRAZER MANHATTAN
"The Car That Others Follow"
When the Kaiser and the Frazer went into production sixteen
months ago — the first 100% postwar automobiles to be offered the
American public —they were hailed as a “forecast of the future
in motor car design.” The functional beauty of these striking
models was acclaimed as “establishing a new trend in motor car
styling”_and ‘‘a preview of what the rest of the industry wil
some day adopt as a postwar standard.
Then-just nine months ago - Kaiser-Frazer brought out the
supremely beautiful Frazer Manhattan. This big car had the
graceful, flowing lines made famous by the Kaiser and the Frazer -
hut with added elegance of finish and appointments. It introduced
new color combinations, new beauty of custom-tailored interiors
and two-tone bodies in gleaming synthetic enamel.
Here was the car the world had been waiting for! Its distinctive
design commanded instant admiration. It obsoleted all prewar
standards, was immediately awarded the gold medal of the Fashion
Academy, then won the “Grand Prix D’Honneur” at Monte Carlo
and Cannes in competition with the world’s leaders.
The greatest fashion experts praised the Frazer Manhattan with
sincere enthusiasm. But the verdict of two great groups remained
to be received — the public and the automobile industry.
Now the returns are in! The Frazer Manhattan has become the
largest selling car in its price class! And the unmistakable evidences
of its design can be seen in every new car announced by other
manufacturers. The Frazer Manhattan has achieved unquestioned
style leadership! When you drive it you will learn that its perform
ance and ride are as “out-in-front” as its distinguished beauty.
You will want to own “the car that others follow”!
