As I read God's dealings, on every living page.
Yes, let us thank God today and tomorrow,
In mercy He sends the blessing and sorrow;
It Is never unkindness, and never in vain,
His mercy permitted a sorrow or pain.
O Father, we can trust Thee, for days yet to be,
We know they will bring us still closer to Thee;
When all tears have vanished, through Thy boundless love,
We will spend our eternity in the mansions above.

A PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR
"Made in North Carolina Week," June 1-6
WHEREAS, North Carolina Is endowed with great natural
resources that should be utilized more effectively for the benefit of
all the people of the State In manufacturing processes, and
WHEREAS, the State has made material strides In the de
velopment of Industries for the exploitation of these natural ad
vantages, but since the development of these resources has hard
ly begun despite this record progress;
THEREFORE, as Governor of North Carolina, I proclaim the
period of June 1-6, as
"MADE IN NORTH CAROLINA WEEK"
and call upon every citizen of the State and every organization In
terested In her continued progress to Join In the celebration of
the occasion with suitable programs and other features calling at
tention to her products and the need of more Industries to utilize
raw materials In manufacturing processes. Such a development
must be brought about If the people of North Carolina are to real
ize their rightful proportion of wealth and advantages accruing
from wise exploitation of their natural resources.
I urge particularly the manufacturers and merchants of the
State to use every facility at their command to familiarize the
public with the Industrial products of North Carolina to the end
that a better appreciation may be had of their place in the lives
of the people and that further development may be encouraged.
With the whole-hearted co-operation of the manufacturers and
merchants, North Carolina can stage what may correctly be term
ed an original and unique State-wide Industrial Exposition with
local features In every community.
During the week of June 1-6, I trust that every merchant's
display window will be an exhibit booth for North Carolina-made
products and that Insofar as Is practicable his shelves will be sales
counters for these same goods. The further suggestion Is made
that all articles originating In the State be so designated by ap
propriate tags, labels or banners.
I also urge upon the public the desirability of visiting the
stores of merchants co-operating In the movement and Inspect
ing the wares marked as having been made In this State. As a -
contribution to a return of better times and a general stimulation
of business, I commend to the buying public the desirability of
purchasing as much as possible of Its needs during "Made In North
Carolina Week." If this movement receives the Impetus and pub
lic co-operation which has been Indicated, I believe that It will
have a salutary effect on business which will be reflected to the
benefit of every rural and city dweller of the 8tate.
