ing paragraphs:
Jerry Coe, insurance and real
estate dealer, said, "The college
is definitely <an asset to this com
munity and to the county. It has
been instrumental in bringing a
better class of people into the ;
community. Many of my contacts i
for real estate have mentioned
a desire to locate in ? college
town. I contribute a lot of my
suocess to the tact that Appala
chian College is located in Wa
tauga County? in tact, many of

my contacts for homes have
come from the college. Some
people have come to Appalachian
to attend Summer School and
liked what they found here well I
enough to buy property and build |
tomes. I believe that Appala- '
chian is offering the youth of this
county a wonderful opportunity to
| get on education and to partici
I pate in a well-rounded program

It is impossible to give all
details of a trip covering 42,000
miles in 20 days even if any
one would be interested. But
a few events and impressions
might be of interest.
Our party consisted of 37
men, two women, from all parts
of North Carolina, eleven law
yers, five mayors, eight county
commissioners, and various oth
er county, town and state offi
cials. That in itself was an
experience of tremendous value.
Our tour was organized under
the sanction of a government
policy of encouraging people-to
people contact* with friendly
countries, as well as those who
might not be considered as in
accord with our form of gov
ernment. Because of this fact
our tour organizers, who were
professionals in travel plans,
had arranged for us a trip into
Moscow, and then into the heart
of one of the Russian provinces,
Armenia.
We were all impressed with
some of the physical achieve
ments of the Soviet Union. They
have built and are now build
ing literally thousands of huge
apartment buildings from five
to twelve stories and many oth
er fine buildings. It seems they
?re determined to herd a vast
country and people into mass
living conditions, they say to
improve their living standards,
especially in Moscow and with
the same id?M throughout Rus
sia.
Even as we flew over the
vast territory one was impress
ed with the fact that no single
farm building was visible, but
villages with all the houses in
a group, then large areas of
farm land and another town.
Some were small, others larger,
with only one road from group

Gay Hunt of Bunt's Depart
ment Store said, "A large por
tion of my business come* from
the facalty and students of Ap
palachian College. My business,
a* well as other businesses in
town, feel the lack of business
when the students are home for
the holidays. Appalachian has
brought a good class of students
to Ha campus and to the com
munity, and has been Instru
mental In bringing other people
into the community who are
connected with the college fac
ulty and Ita staff."
Ralph Winkler of Winkler Mo
tor Company declares that Ap
palachian has educated thousands
of students in Watauga and sur
rounding counties. These students
oould not have gone to college
elsewhere. "Appalachian has
been the greatest blessing of any
thing that has ever happened in
this county? the college payroll
is equal to any industry in the
county, and the college has been
instrumental in bringing out
standing citizens into our com
munity.'' Wintrier said
Jack Ermisten, local lumber
dealer, said that Appalachian
College has helped the entire
county from the businessman to
the tarmer. "There is scarcely a
single individual or business in
Watauga that has not been af
fected by the local college," Ed
misten stated.
Befc Bumbaugti. o < the IRC,
said, "It Is my opiaton that
withaid Appalachian Cellege
there mold he as Industry In
this county. The (aet that ASTC
exists has been a great factor In
attracting Industry. The contri
butions of the ASTC faculty and
staff hare been felt In the civic
and religious life of the commun
ity?these young men have pro
vided a vital leadership that is
helping the county to move f?r
ward."
Roto Rivers, editor of the Wa
tauga Democrat, said, "With
out Appalachian College this
community would be nothing
more than just a county seat
neighborhood. Appalachian has
been one of the greatest factors
in the development of Boone and
Watauga County. Flrom the very
beginning of Watauga Academy
the Democrat has worked very
closely with the school and
through the years the local paper
has supported the college in every
way possible."
Alfred Adams, Northwestern
Bank official, said, "Appalachian
College, with its cultural, educa
tional and financial aspects, is
one of the greatest assets of Wa
tauga County."
'James Marsh of Wata<?a Sav
ings and Loan, said, "Many
businesses have recognized the
value of Appalachian State Tea
chera College from the overall
economy of Watauga County.
Have you asked yourselves how
much Appalachian College has
added to your income as an in
dividual and to your business?"
Clyde Greene, of Farmers
Hardware, said, "Appalachian
College Is the center of a small
village and a city, which Boone
has become. Boone Is now the
trading center for the (We or
lix counties which constitute the
roof of Eastern America. Oar
county is recognized as one a I
the beat balanced counties in
North Carolina. This condition
may be compared to a fow-leg
ged stool ? education, Industry,
agriculture and business. The
college has furnished the first
and has contributed largely to
the other three. The intellectual,
cultural and religious aspects of
our community have been great
ly benefitted by the college."
