Block Off East Front Street For Revival, Suggests Editor, Sept. 9, 1922

Blocking Off East Front Street

The Ham-Ramsay revival meeting begins tomorrow.

Last Sunday there was a testimonial service at the big tent, which was attended by a large number of persons from Goldsboro and New Bern. Scores of automobiles were parked in the street in front of the tent, resulting in much confusion and needless noise.

We believe it would be a good idea during the course of meetings here to block off East Front street between Pollock and Broad streets. Or else, if this does not meet with the approval of the citizens, to make it a one-way street during services.

Last Sunday, at the conclusion of; the night meeting, it took the automobiles over half an hour to get away. They had to jockey back and forth before they could pass other machines, and there was general confusion.
