The chief executive, is not pessimistic, but when he saw. 30,000 North Carolina automobiles fall by the roadside he knew some- | thing had hit North Carolina. That loss means of $450,000 in road revenues, he said, and more than $1,000,000 in total revenues, i The bigness of the task intrigued his excellency, but he left the coun ! cil in no doubt as to the size of the | work before it. The ginger of the, !speaking was left for Governor, Gardner, but he had with him today j John B. Blanford, of Washington, who is a member of President Hoo- 1 | ver's committee on unemployment, t No Cause for Despair, j The governor finds no cause for | despair but sees every reason for a i corporate understanding of the problems before the state. He has j studied the causes deeply. He has , had constant, need for such study ! The state must understand that [ there is an equation between ex- j j peditures and income and indivi-• ! duals as well as institutions must j adjust themselves to those condi- * Itions, he said. For 12 years the i state led the nation in town, city • I and state expansion and develop ment, he said; but now the state must mediate on payment. ) With it all, the governor saw day-, i light. Mills are running better than i they were during the summer and j live-at-home program of the gover- ! nor has produced great supplies of 1 food that had been bought in former years. Mr. Blandford came her to help in getting the state organized for this work. The first item in the list of THE FOREST CITY COURIER, FOREST CITY, N. C.

The j committee commends the principles of co-ordination and working thru j I existing organizations. Every person here today was favorable to that i purpose. There is no way, the mem bers feel to superimpose this help from without. Each locality must > lay its own situation on its own 1 • heart.

I ANALYZING COMMUNITIES. i Human nature is identical the na ' tion over in the average, but still towns differ. Why is this? Can one glibly explain why the citizens of ! one community exhibit more enter prise, more spirit, and more vision than the citizens of another commu nity identical in size? ! The answer to this would be an interesting study. In thinking on this ! subject one will discover a number of factors that play upon community developments. Leadership accounts for much.
