WILMINGTON ROTARY BACKS GRAIN FORBIDMENT BILL
At a semi monthly meeting the Wilmington Rotary Club endorsed a Watertown New York resolution urging Congress to pass a law prohibiting grain use in intoxicants during the war. The group discussed molasses destined for rum in the West Indies and the rising price as a result. A trip to Atlanta for the Rotary convention was planned by Sea board Air Line Railway. Rotarian John A. Livingston spoke on idealism in business and farming, praising the club ethic and announcing his forthcoming role with the State Experiment Station. He outlined efforts to aid NC farmers via credit facilities and credit unions to improve rural finance and interim loans, contrasting with long term Farm Loan bank loans for land and improvements.
