as acceptable were mailed
through the North Wllkesboro

were delivered by the postal serv
ice to homes In the city and near
by communities oh November 16.
Ml'. Roiup Hiat extra help
was Used In birder to deliver them
to homes not bn city carrier
routes and to 'bomce around the
city.
In addition to the 326 classed
as acceptable 176 cards were
mailed and ’classed as question
able.
It developed that many people
irho are qml>l>yed filled out the
cards, evldentljr thinking that
filling out the cards would aid in
helping to find a better Job.
Others among the questionable
class Included farmers who have
never worked regularly except at
i home and who have the “biggest
I job in the world.” The local
postoffice offered every coopera
tion and postal employes assist
ed many in filling put their cards.

The Governor’s Hospitality
Committee has been expanded to
Include evj^ry county in North
Carolina as a result of tho ap
pointment by Governor Clyde R.
Hoey of 100 county chairmen,
who in turn will appoint the
members of the county hospital
ity committees. Sheriff Claude T.
Doughton was appointed chair
man of the Wilkes county com
mittee.
Each county hospitality com
mittee will .cooperate with the
Governor’s Hospitality Commit
tee, which is composed of all the
members of the State Board of
Conservation and Development,
in attempting to arouse a greater
de^ree^of Diterest among the peo
ple of the state In showing real
North Carolina hospitality to all
who come here fro® other states,
either as tourists or permanent
residents.
Governor Hoey and those who
have been cooperating with him
in the state 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 with while here the first
time show a spirit of hospitality
and friendliness. He feels that
that while the advertising pro
gram now being pushed by the
Department of Conservation and
Development will bring tens of
thousands to North Carolina who
have never visited the state be
fore, if will be dependent upon
the people with whom these visi
tors come in contact while here,
as to whether they return or
eventually become North Caro
lina residents.

North Wllkesboro Team Wins Over
Wilkesboro By Decisive Score
With both teams playing their
best game of the season North
Wilkesboro high school’s Moun
tain Lions won over Wilkesboro’s
Ramblers by the decisive score
of 20 to 0 Wednesday afternoon.
It was Wilkes county’s annual
football classic and the boys on
the north side of tho Yadkin
really went to town with that
ball, although the' game was a
far better contest than the score
would indicate. ^
The boys played fast and sev
eral times the Ramblers staged
attacks that were flashy and good
for first downs but never for a
touchdown. North Wllkesboro
held the edge in both offense and
defensive play, although both
teams worked tbe air attack to
much advantage and both were
somewhat weak on aerial defense.
In the final quarter of th® con
test with the game very much in
the bag Coach Ralph Barker let
every boy on the squad, Including
a number of little fellows who
may be stars when they grow up
and will have gained knowledge
of the game from an early start,
see action in the game and they
acquitted themselves well. Wll
kesboro hoys were sdmewhat
lacking In reserve strength and
were unable to stand the pace
they set for themselves In the
terly stages of th®- Kame.
As a home coming game it
went over in a bfg way with
those who went out to see the
annual football test between the
two schools and "spectators werei
of the opinion that they had
witnessed'A well played and
closely contested game despite*
the 20-0 score.

Excerpts from the first' issne
that should b® of interest locally
were gleaned as follows:
Over 100 miles ot the scenic
road can now be driven In the
two states of Virginia and North
Carolina, although the work has
by no means been completed.
Black top road surfacing, such as
is Used on many of the import
ant highways, will be placed
p^bably next spring. Landscape
deyalopment. Including improve
ment of the woods, planting and
seeding, provision of food and
protection for quail and other!
game may also begin In the!
spring. Also, yet to be built are'
the safety guard fences'along the
Parkway road. Everyone may
now drive the Parkway, but at
his own risk. It will not be offi
cially opened and advertised un
til completion.
“Many of you have worked on
the road. Others have either giv
en or sold land for tb® Parkway.
In the latter case, you hare talk
ed with agents from the State
Highway Department who are re
sponsible for the land program.
