CHOSEN Mayors Of 7 Halifax Towns On Committee The Governor’s Hospitality Com mittee for Halifax County was se lected this week by Carroll Wilson, Chairman, of Roanoke Rapids, and their names forwarded to Gover nor Clyde R. Hoey. Every section of the county is represented on the committee by the selection of the mayors of the incorporated towns 6f the county and the addi tion of one magistrate in an area where there are no incorporated towns. The committee is as follows: Mayor Kelly Jenkins, Roanoke Rapids. Mayor J. T. Maddrey, Weldon. Mayor Ben Bracey, Scotland Neck. Mayor John H. Taylor, Littleton. Mayor E. E. Stallings, Enfield. Mayor J. A. Dickens, Halifax. Mayor E. C. Ruffin, Hobgood. Magistrate Tracy Qualls, Hollis ter. The purpose of the Governor’s Hospitality Committee, as envision ed by the Advertising Committee of the Board of Conservation and Development, will be two-fold: to * act as a Welcoming Committee to all visitors entering North Caroli na, and to endeavor to secure throughout the State a unanimity of purpose and action in the State’s promotional campaign. * In general, the idea of the Gov ernor’s Hospitality Committee is to develop a thorough-going spirit of hospitality toward visitors which will make a definite impression on the “Stranger within our gates”. As this idea permeates the State the satisfaction of the visitor will be reflected to his contacts back home and the results of the State Advertising Campaign will be cu mulative. North Carolina may easi ly gain fame as the “Friendly State”. The County Chairman, appointed by the Governor, and the Commit teemen, appointed by the County Chairmen, are impressed with the fact they are to be active repre sentatives of the Governor and the State, in the matter of creating hospitality among the people of North Carolina and being host and hostess to the visitors that come to this state for recreational, business, industrial and other purposes. The figures listed below will show, according to the American Automobile Assocation, “What In fluences Travel”. It can be seen that 65.8 per cent of the tourist Pints 85c Quarts $1.60 AJs6lU4 mint.$prinq$ ESLISIK Pints 70* » Quarts *130 business to any particular place is influenced by friends or because of a previous visit, and pleasure and satisfaction have caused them to return. You may easily see by these figures, just why North Carolina is preparing itself to re ceive its expected guests. 39.8 per cent—Reason: Previous visit; 26 per cent—Reason: Recom mendation of friends; 9.3 per cent —Reason: Advertising; 7.9 percent —Reason: Travel urge with no def inite objective or destination; 7.5 percent — Reason: Visiting rela tives; 2.8 percent—Reason: Busi ness reasons; 2.6 percent—Reason: Newspaper & magazine travel sto ries; 1.4 percent—Reason: Climate; 1.4 percent—Reason: Conventions; 1.3 percent—Reason: Health. The Governor’s Hospitality Com mittees in the 100 counties in North Carolina will act as sales men for our great State. It is hoped that many visitors will come to North Carolina as a direct re sult of the State’s advertising and the newspaper and magazine, trav el, industrial, agricultural and his torical pictures and stories being sent out by the News Bureau of the Department of Conservation and Development. These people will be made to feel at home, after they come to North Carolina, by the Governor’s Hospitality Com mittee. They will be shown every courtesy possible and nothing will be left undone to make their visit to North Carolina a pleasant one. The Governor has appointed County Chairmen, who will take the initiative and manifest an in terest in extending courtesy to visitors to the state, and who will contact public officials, hotel op erators, operators of eating places, filling stations, and other public service concerns with a view of creating and developing a hospi table spirit among all of our peo ple. The Governor’s Hospitality Com mittee will be one of the most im portant factors in the State’s Ad vertising Program. By word of mouth, and by exhibiting friendli ness and willingness to be of ser vice to the visitor within our gate, this committee will be able to cre ate a lasting impression upon those who come to live with us for a while or permanently.
