Feast of Good Things
Tonight. . . Annual Banquet of Chamber of Commerce Promises to be Stellar Event
The annual dinner of the Elizabeth
City Chamber of Commerce to be held in the Masonic Hall this evening promises
to be the biggest and most excellent social even of this or any other season.
The menu as well as program smacks of more good things than were ever before
assembled at one community gathering.
The guests and speakers at to-night’s
dinner will be Rev. C.A. Ashby, pastor of the Church of the Good Shepherd of
Raleigh, N.C., and formerly pastor of Christ Church of this city, Major General
W.S. McNair, Commander of Camp Bragg, Fayetteville, N.C.; Rev. Rob White Jr.,
Chaplain of the 21st Field Artillery, U.S.A.; Rev. E.L. Cole, pastor
of Salem Baptist Church; Hon. E.F. Aydlett and Col. I.M. Meekins. President
Harry G Kramer will be the toastmaster.
The dinner will not be an all
talk-fest; there will be music to enliven things between rounds, under the
direction of Frank R. Hufty, Music Director of Christ Church. The music will
consist of several choruses by a picked choir and vocal solos by Mrs. Wesley
Foreman and Miss Virginia Hufty. Several instrumental musical numbers will be
rendered by the Alkrama Theatre Orchestra. From the number of good things in
store it would not be unreasonable to expect the dinner to last from 7 p.m till
midnight.
The committee in charge of the event
is composed of J.T. McCabe, Chairman; T.T. Turner, J.T. Stalling;s, A.R.
Nicholson; Mesdames Carl Blades, Howard Kramer and Thorburn Bennett.
It is estimated there will be more
than 200 covers laid for the banquet.
