Walter a Jones, prominent
FSunnvUle businessman, former
wayoc and candidate for United
Slates Congress, spoke to the
Mtatna Lions Club at their
■ate ting Monday- evening. In
addition t» his other activities.!
Mr. Jbaes is a member of the
ttwtti Carolina House cf Repre
sentatives, a Baptist Sunday
Sfctmol teacher, and graduate of
Martei Carolina State College,
He eras introduced by John
hi his talk. Mr. Jones pointed
ont the rapidly changing eco
nomic picture of North Carolina
and the nation, stating that a
business or profession conducted
•jrtraag lines that were normal 20
years ago could not survive.
Th illustrate this raoid change
further he stated that 60% of
those gainfully employed today
were working in occuoations
that did not ex st in 1935; ap
proximately 80% of drugs and
medicares now-in use we e not
known in 1945; and that still
further changes were on the wav
as the nation prepares to feed,
clothe and house an estimated
SM million people bv 1970.
The speaker emphasized that!
an economic development today,
could only come about through
specialised elfoits, and that a
ctenmunity or city- wanting an
industry must be prepared to
expend considerable effort and,
money before it actually gets
„an industry. Mr. Jones cited the
enviable record cf Farmville in
connection. Farmville has
met this need by employing a
person who has this as his sole
responsibility, at a cost of SU.-
MM per year. He pointed out
that businessmen supported this
pton knowing that there was no
guarantee cf success. As a re
sult, Farmville has been fortun
ate is having a flake board
plant locate there which em
ploys 45 to 60 pet sons, as well
as three smaller industries.
Mr. Jones answered those crit
ics of Eastern Noith Carolina
uho suggest that this section has
not kept pace with other pans
of the State in developing its
potentials. “1 do not believe
that it is entirely the fault ofi
cur people,” stated the speaker,
“But rather, I think it is due in|
port to the lack of help and!
understanding on the Raleigh'
Washington levels." This]
point was illustrated by point-1
■ bog out that of hundreds of mil-*
Bmis of dollars spent on inter
state highways by the Federal
Government. “not one pennv has
■ten allocated east of Wilson,
ft C.' Jones continued by say
*•»- “Yet. the Albemarle area ]
has more natural historical at
tractions for tourists than any
vdher spot on the Eastern sea
hrard.’ The speaker then men
tioned that Western North Car
«foa is filled with national
parks and four-lane highways.
Built partially with federal
Bin’s. “In our thinking,” stat
ed Mr. Jones. "On both the state
and rational level, we should
never lose sight of the value
«t the tourist dollar; this with-,
bu itself is a major industry.” i

Mr. Jones reminded his audi
ence that the industrial develop
ment of Northeastern North Car
olina must move forward with
acceleration. He said, “We have
here the greatest asset of all—
the highest type of citizenship,
climate, and foe availability of
water.” He pointed out foe ne
cessity of developing interested
leadership in foe area of govern
ment to work with foe leader
ship already developed among
the people of this area. "Then
1 have no doubt as to foe suc
cess of our future industrial ef
forts,” he stated.
Mr. Jones reminded his audi
ence that while eastern North
Carolina is making efforts to in
dustrialize. agriculture is st‘ll
•he mainspring of the economy.
”1 know it must be distressing
to you as it is to me, that al
though 12% of the population
cf the United States is engaged
in agricultural pursuits,” he stat
ed, “they receive only 3% of the
total income.” Jones emphasiz
ed that “It is imperative that a
sound program of assistance be
found for the small farmer.”
The speaker concluded his re
marks by reminding his audi
ence that problems must not
be approached from a pessimis
tic or defeatest angle, but rather
that we should take stock of
our assets and in the spirit of
cooperation and assistance on
the national and state levels
"Build the economy of North
eastern North Carolina to that
{comparable with other parts of
this state and this nation.” He
assured the group that “with
dedicated leadership. this can be
done.”
Dr. A. F. Downum announces
that three other candidates have
been scheduled to speak at the
Lions Club. On April 11, Dr.
1 1. B. Lake is scheduled to speak,
, followed by Herbert Bonner on
1 April 25 and Malcolm B. Sea
