Municipal Airport
The Municipal Airport is located just outside the city limits on U. S. High- way 301 and along the main line of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, and is less than ten minutes' automobile ride from the center of the city. The area of the airport is 388 acres. It has two paved runways, each 150 feet wide, with one runway 3,800 feet long and the other 4,000 feet long. The airport is constructed so that an additional runway can be paved 150 feet wide and 4,000 feet long, which will provide taking off and landing in any direction. The Municipal Airport is lighted and has a complete weather bureau, a new code beacon and a revolving

Rocky Mount Municipal Airport
beacon. It is classed as a No. 3 airport. There is an improved hangar 80 by 100 feet, and it is so constructed that additional hangars can be provided when needed. Rocky Mount is an important stop on the Norfolk-Knoxville and Wash- ington, D. C .- Rocky Mount routes of the Piedmont Airlines.
The City's Highlights
Rocky Mount has a temperate climate. The average temperature is 60.8 de - grees. From a health standpoint, the city is ideal. Records show that there have beenno epidemics. The water supply is pure; the milk supply has passed every test, and received commendation from every source of inspection. The city has all modern sanitary regulations, with health officers empowered to enforce them.
Rocky Mount owns is public utilities. It has a modern water plant with a fil- tration plant rated at 11,750,000 gallons per day, complete with pumping equip- ment and two elevated steel tanks (capacity 2,000,000 gallons).
Rocky Mount has a $4,000,000 power plant which is located on the banks of the historic Tar River. This plant was designed and built on the unit system pro- viding for three times the k. w. capacity that is now being used, and in 1946 it was enlarged to give it 25 % greater capacity. In 1954 a $600,000 bond issue was floated to enlarge the distribution system so that any projected demand for power could be met.
The modern sewage-disposal plant cost more than $1,200,000. It is built not only to take care of the regular waste, but to carry any type of industrial waste, and is one of the most modern plants of its kind in the state. It has the equiva- lent as the water plant.
Rocky Mount has one high school, one junior high and six grammar schools for white pupils, and one high school, one junior high and four grammar schools for colored pupils. There are 87 churches in the city.
Rocky Mount has gone beyond its duty in providing playgrounds and play- ground equipment for its children. It has provided handsomely for the child's amusement by operating municipally 18 parks and playgrounds, 2 municipal stadiums (one for white and one for colored), 8 asphalt tennis courts and 7 clay tennis courts, 2 lighted softball fields, several neighborhood and community centers, and 2 swimming pools (one for white and one for colored). Rocky Mount is one of the few cities in the state with a municipally-owned pool for Negroes. All of these grounds are carefully looked after by a Park Superintendent and Staff.

INTRODUCTION
View of the City Lake
Various amusement facilities such as merry-go-round, miniature train, boat riding, museum, zoo, miniature golf course, horseshoe pits and Dance Pavilion are available at the parks. The recreation program in Rocky Mount is a com - munity operation with many of the civic clubs contributing generously toward the recreation facilities.
The beauty of Sunset Park attracts thousands of visitors yearly, and during the warm summer months, picnickers find it an ideal spot for their outings. It borders on the Tar River. Battle Park, which is privately owned, is located on a rocky mound from whence Rocky Mount derives its name. A Confederate monu- ment to the Bethel heroes greets the visitor at the southern entrance, and the driveway winds along the banks of Tar River, across which is located the second cotton mill ever operated in the state of North Carolina.
Braswell Park is unusually well located, being nearer the central part of the city than any of the other parks or playgrounds. A wealth of playground equip- ment is found here. The playground is situated between Park View Hospital and the Public Library, and is a cool spot and delight to the children and nurses during the warm summer months.
The only 18-hole golf course in northeastern North Carolina is located at Rocky Mount at the Bevenue Country Club. The course is well laid out, afford- ing the golfer enough of the uncertainties of the game to make the sport in- teresting and fascinating. The clubhouse is a handsome structure; costing approximately $45,000. Memberships are obtainable by desirable persons, and the club is well supported by a membership that is representative of the best citizens. The Club is happy in the fact that it has no debts. A full-time golf professional has charge of the links and golf storerooms and lockers. Visitors are always welcome to the club, in addition there are now 2 public golf courses in the city. Rocky Mount is also represented in the Eastern Carolina Golf Association, some of its main officers making their homes here.
The rapid growth of the city may easily be noted by a visit to suburban Rocky Mount, where handsome homes are continually being built in developments both to the east and west of the original residential section. All recent develop- ments have been taken into and made a part of the city and are served with all modern conveniences. Some of these developments 15 years ago were farm and wooded lands, while today they represent the zenith of modern home architecture.
Apartment houses are rapidly being built, and for the family that prefers this mode of living, these apartments are so located as to make them easily accessible to the business district and other industrial plants and enterprises.
XIV
INTRODUCTION
Rocky Mount has the usual fraternal orders, namely: Masons, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Junior Order of United American Mechanics, Elks and Red Men. There are 19 civic organizations, including: Rotary Club, Kiwains Club, Civitan Club, Lions Club, Exchange Club, Current Topics Club, Pilot Club, Altrusa Club and Business and Professional Women's Club; also Merchants' Association, Chamber of Commerce and Junior Chamber of Commerce and other organizations.
Red Cross Chapter
The Rocky Mount Chapter of the American Red Cross is an organization of which the people of this community are very proud.
Boy Scouts of America
Rocky Mount is a part of the Eastern Carolina Council of the Boy Scouts of America, with an active district boardheadedby men who are enthusiastic Scout- ers. There are nine troops under the leadership of well-trained scoutmasters.
Welfare and Charity
Rocky Mount has a well-organized Associated Charities board, with a full - time welfare worker and an able staff of assistants. Also providing a community service is the Community Chest.
Salvation Army
Rocky Mounthas a well-organized corps of Salvation Army workers and this organization does very fine and constructive work throughout the city and com - munity.
Excellent Facilities
Rocky Mount's steady growth has made it necessary for a definite policy of fire department extension. The rigid restrictions on buildings in the fire dis - trict, which comprises the entire business part of the city, has, it is believed, been directly responsible for the absence of large fires in recent years, and a big loss by fire is, so far, unknown to the city.
Rocky Mount has three splendid hospitals, all on the accredited list of the American College of Surgeons and having on their staffs, surgeons of wide repu- tation. Specialists for practically all diseases make these hospitals their head- quarters, and patients from a wide area come here for treatment. One of these hospitals has a modern trainings school for nurses, and its graduates are accepted by all practicing physicians and surgeons.
To prospective home -seekers and to individual citizens, Rocky Mount offers every factor that makes for happiness and ideal home conditions.
Manufacture, Industry and Trade
For manufacturers, Rocky Mount offers many inducements, among which are the source and supply of labor. The abundance of female labor in the Rocky Mount districtis an inducement to new industries. There is also adequate male labor, both white and colored. There are no labor troubles in Rocky Mount, and with the exception of the railroad strike in 1932, strikes have been practically unknown. The small percentage of foreign-born (less than 1 %) insures English-speaking labor for all classes.
Rocky Mount has one national bank and trust company, and two state bank and trust companies four building and loan associations and one fire insurance com- pany.
Rocky Mount, according to the 1961 report of "Sales Management", has 484 retail stores, with annual sales amounting to $52,953,000.

Rocky Mount Mills
Rocky Mount is the shopping center of a wide area, embracing a radius of 50 to 70 miles. In addition to the retail stores, there are numerous wholesale houses handling groceries, fruits and produce, hardware and notions. The city enjoys the reputation of being the jobbing center of a large territory. Situated in the hub of a fast-developing section, Rocky Mount has the natural advantages that attract people in all kinds of business. It is truly the marketing and shopping center of eastern North Carolina.
The city boasts one of the best daily newspapers in the state, The Evening Telegram and the Sunday Telegram. This paper enjoys a large circulation and is a member of the Associated Press. Rocky Mount was declared by "Sales Management Magazine" in 1961 as a metropolitan area and North Carolina's 8th market with total income of $151,066,000, sales at $95,446,000, and popula- tion at 117,100.
Radio Stations
There are three radio stations in Rocky Mount. WCEC is a 1,000 watt AM nondirectional radio station operating during the daylight hours; WFMA is its affiliate 33,000 watt station operating unlimited time covering Eastern Carolina from the Piedmont area to the coast. It is affiliated with the Columbia Broad- casting system and is a locally owned station. WEED is a full-time 1,000 watt AM and FM station affiliated with the American Broadcasting System. This sta- tion serves the Coastal Plain area and is locally owned and operated; it is rep- resented nationally by Burn-Smith Company. WRMT is a 250 watt full-time AM station. It is an independent station with no network ties-using strictly a good music format for programming.
The Chamber of Commerce
The Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce was organized in 1904. Its member- ship is made up of the business and professional men and women of Rocky Mount and the farmers and growers of this section, who are not only interested in the work, but enter actively into the problems and tasks confronting the Chamber. It is divided into departments-industrial, agricultural, educational, civic, commercial and publicity, and all departments function and are headed by committees of able men and women.
The influence of this body has been largely responsible for the many develop- ments of the city, and in every progressive movement, the Chamber of Com- merce uses its agencies for the best interests of the community.
The policy of the Chamber is in the hands of a board of directors, who employ a full-time manager, office manager and a bookkeeper, and maintain offices at 157 N. E. Main St.
