Banquet Continued from Page 1, Section 1 progress which he stated will materialize with the proper co operation of members and the necessary financial support. He was very complimentary about James M. Robinson, executive vice president, without whose efforts and capabilities, he said, the Chamber would not have made the progress it has made. In recognizing the guests, he paid tribute to four living mem [ bers of the first Chamber cf I Commerce 'in Edenton. They are T. C. Byrum, Sr., Charles H. Wood, Sr., J. H- McMullan and J. L. Wiggins. Mr. Robinson spoke briefly on the topic of “Growmanship,” during which he pointed out the functions of a Chamber of Com merce and its place in the com munity to advance growth and progress. He was high in praise of Joe Conger, Jr., for his un tiring and unselfish service as president, during which he made many sacrifices of time and effort in the interest of the organization. ‘ “We must have THE CHOWAN HERAI.D. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2S, 1962. economic growth,’’ said Mr. Rob inson, “and to accomplish this, we must sell Edenton and Cho wan County.” He stated that we have many advantages, but still there are some disadvan tages and that it is the job of) the Chamber to overcome the, disadvantages. President Byrum then spoke about the prospects for the com ing year. He was very optimis tic about the future economic growth in the entire county but was frank in his statement that cooperation on the part of com mittees and members, and finan cial backing were the prerequi sites to success. He pledged his very best in order to bring about a successful year. He commented upon the member ship drive which began Wednes day morning after a kick-off breakfast at the Edenton Res taurant. He urged contributing members to increase their annual dues if possible and stated that it was more or less surprising that so many who should be but are not members of the Cham ber. West Byrum, Jr., vice presi dent, introduced Mr. Wade. In his opening remarks Mr. Wade praised the work of the Chamber in its accomplishments during the past year. He said it was very essential to have a Chamber of Commerce, but to have one, it should be a good one. He stressed the fact that industries seeking new locations want to know what is there and ! many times this vital informa tion is not available. With a live Chamber of Commerce, he said, everybody prospers and not only a few, so that a com munity is hopeless without a Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Wade directed his remarks to the tourist business which has increased 170 per cent since 1948. He said 25,000,000 tour ists visited North Carolina last year and that the trend is up ward, and at present it is the third largest industry, led only by textiles and tobacco. He F.D.C NEXT WEEK AT P & Q SUPER MARKET was very complimentary of the preservation of historical sites in Chowan County, which he said no industry can replace, and provides natural advantages for Edenton. I The speaker also pointed out | the advantages of a clean and attractive community. “We do not have to have a Waldorf As toria, but we must have clean and comfortable lodging and eating facilities, in which the Chamber of Commerce can play an important part. “There are unlimited opportunities for tour ist attractions in Eastern North Carolina,” he said. Mr. Wade also dwelt upon the idea of a “History Trail.” which would provide unlimited publicity and possibilities, for little is realized how .much such j a route would attract tourists.! The 400-mile “History Trail” [ would be a tourist attraction of. the first magnitude, said the i speaker. However, he pointed ] out that each single section > would not be able to promote 1 the idea by itself. It requires ] cooperation on the part of the' entire area and should be thor oughly explored. The speaker spoke briefly about the Reynolds project on the Avoca farm. He said he was very appreciative for the friend ship and cooperation on the part j of Bertie and Chowan County j people, and the way his com- j pany was welcomed. He point-1 ed out that the activities in Ber- | tie are not in competition with tobacco growers. The purpose, ' he said, is to try to find away to grow better tobacco. He said they were well pleased with the first year’s yield and with the information gained. The meeting closed with Presi dent Byrum again urging full BRAND NEW!
