The Gover-t nor's Hospitality Committee litis; been expanded to include every! county in North Carolina as a re sult of the appointment by Gov ernor Clyde R. Hoey of 100 couii ty chairmen, who in turn will ap point the members of the cuunlyj hospitality committees. Mr. K, H. Malone was appointed chair man ol the Franklin County com mittee. Each county hospitality com mittee will cooperate with t h u Governor's Hospitality Commit;'.? \ which is composed of all the mem bers of the State Board of Conser vation and Development, in at tempting to arouse a greater de gree of interest among .'lie people | of the state in showing real North Carolina hospitality to all, who come here from other states, either as tourists or permanent resident**. Governor Hoey and those who have been cooperating with Jiiin in the slate advertising campaign, are convinced that the state should do everything possible to; induce visitors to return to the state again and again and that they will not become "repeaters'" | unless the people they come in contact wiili wh'le here the lira t'iine show a spi.'ii pf hospitality and friendliness. He feels that while tile advertising program now being pushed by the Depart ment of Conservation and Devel opment will briijig tens of ilious ands to North Carolina who havei never visited the stat-a before, n will be dependent upon the peo ple with whom these visitors come in contact while here, as to whe ther (hey return or eventually be come North Carolina residents. As soon as the county chairmen i name their hospitality commit tees. a comprehensive program will be presented to these com mittees by the state commi:y.ae which is expected 16 bring about cooperation from every section of j the stale. Each county commit- 1 tee will be urged k> work with all i organizations and persons who in any way come in contact with the j traveling public and to enlist their interest and support in making ! North Carolina the "friendly i state." Most women seem to be content' when they reach 40. By-thftt,.time| they've either got a husband or; quft worrying about it.

That the Conference as sume moral responsibility for the liquidation of the recent debt of Louisburg, College in ihe amount of $65,000.00. as set out in the plan for settlement, upon the un derstanding that- the creditors will extend the time for payment un der the original plan until Dec. 31. 11)38. 2. Thai the campaign be con tinued and tfiat the Conference approve the continuation of this movement, and pledge to the College Hoard ITS wholehearted and loyal support. - 3. Thut the Conference ap prove the selection of a member of this Conference, upon nomina tion of the Hlsliop and his cabi net, who shall devote his entire time to this movement and assist in the field of public relations for the college. 4. That the Conference ap- j prove an addition lo its budget of a sum necessary to provide for the salary of the aforesaid repre sentative. This item shall be ad ded to the conference expense fund and shall be a preferred charge against tly> budget: and whatever increase it involves til acceptances on benevolences shall be distributed to all the charges and each Charge is urgently re 1 quested to take its proportionate share of this increase in order Lthat the college may \ be saved in this hour of its emergency. In accordance with these reso lutions and recommendations from the Board of Christian Edu cation. the North Caroliua Con ference appointed Dr. VValwer Pat ten us field" representative' for I.ouisburg College. Dr. Patten is known as one of the leading finan ciers of tiie North Carolina Con ference and is charged with as sisting in the liquidating of the iLouishurg College debt. The North Carolina Conference does not' J promise to pay the d. I)t of Louis Inti'K College, but it does, by this action, promise to assume moral | responsibility the debt and furnish leadership in raising it. This action leaves the College ad ministration free to pursue its york of acatjeniic improvement and material advancement. It is thought by those who are- connec ted closely with the College that this marks -the ?st day in the history of tii ? institution. This action by the Nor !i Carolina Conference is the one that has been Imped for by all of t lip re cent preside.! vs oi I.ouisburg Col lege. The iiiing thai the late Dr. Wilcox dreamed of and worked, for has become an accepted fact. We understand that plans are being made for a temporary loan to enable the College to carry out( its plan to settle with creditors by December 31. 19;J7. f.\Kl?
