He pointed out that Edenton would be better off if it could hold its people here. Also cited as a need jfor industry were persons who <livd on small farms. It was pointed out that farm oper- j ating ; is an expensive venture j and It worked a hardship on 1 small i farmers for them to have j to do mortgage financing after I a crop failure. “It seems that J the small get smaller and the big get bigger,'’ he staled in con nection with the farm question, and continued by pointing out that “industrial development could be the salvation of small farmers." In reply to the question. “Where does Edenton stand in relation to industrial develop ment?” Atkinson cited a visit to the Conservation and De velopment Department, at which time the matter was discussed frankly by experts of that divi sion. Some of the disadvant ages pointed out were: Industry does not like a strictly agricul tural economy; its fear is that large land owners are not friend ly to industry and that they re gard industry as a competitor for labor. In this connection a number of farmers were inU.-, viewed in this area, and it was found that this attitude is not found here. This information j will be stressed in a brochure, j It was also pointed out by C & D > ■ officials that while industry j does not object to small towns, i it favors small towns near metro- j politan areas. Such considera tions as cultural activities, good shopping and sports attractions, are high on industry’s require ments. In this connection, Edenton must stress its nearness: to the Norfolk metropolitan area, j Further, industry wants a choice of several available sites. Eden ton now has five land options to offer industry. Also a high consideration is financing by lo cal communities. All information of vfitue to industry is being com piled into a brochure, which was pointed out as slow, tedious work, but that it is necessary to hive a multitude of facts avail able, and that all facts must reliable and accurate. In connection with financing, it was pointed out that industry is now expecting this, and since other communities are financing industry. EJenton must do like wise in older to meet the com petition.

Abo a group of (Edenton businessmen will visit (Goldsboro Thursday to hear this matter discussed in considerable .detail by the Governor and members of the Conservation and Development Department. He pointed out that Edenton had no shortage on leads, hav ing more than other nearby towns. He stated that these leads came from a large variety of sources, some by mere rum ors, others by unexpected visit ors to Edenton, such as in his torical tours. Atkinson mentioned i that recent industry visitors had { been impressed with local en thusiasm, and one said that the I recent statements about Eastern North Carolina’s laxity in in dustrial search did not appear to be true. This visitor also stated that Western North Caro lina had become saturated with industry and that east was the only direction to go in the state. The speaker mentioned some specific leads the committee is currently working on. One in volves the entire base prop erty, works with wood, and would hire about 350 men; an-. other is an AAA-1 industry, hir- ( mg about IVS workers, about half women, and costing about $2,000,000. He stated that fi nancing for this industry is as sured, should the industry de cide on Edenton.
