NORTH CAROLINA IS AT THE TOP ITS UNDERLYING STABILITY IS EQUALED BY BUT FEW STATES r— SENATOR REYN OLDS DESCANTS ON THE STATES FAVORABLE POSI TION. I As Federal reports and studies dealing with national affairs dur- ing the last few years are given to the Congress as a basis for considering new government programs and policies, ample evi dence is found that North Caro lina has an underlying stability equaled by only a comparatively small number of states. Support of this settlement is available in volumes of Federal statistics and data regarding the state's indus try, commerce and agriculture They tell graphic story of how well North Carolina weathered the storms of the depression and how well the state is prepared to move foward during the fairer economic weather ahead. One reason the state enjoys such a favorable position is be cause of the diversity of its agri culture and industry. Farmers are not forced to depend on a sin gle commodity nor industrial workers on a single branch of in dustry. And along the seaboard, in the Piedmont region and in the mountains are found many indi cations that the economic stabil ity in Nprth Carolina is well founded. . _ Naturally, the fine standing of the state, reflected in the reports and studies sent to Congress, it should also bring pride to all cit izens, particularly at this com mencement season for schools and colleges, when so many of our younger generation prepare to face the problems of life, econ i omic and social. On numberous occasions, my colleagues in Congress who hav-' visited North Carolina or passed through the state enroute to and "ror.i other destinations, have been loud in their praise of the physical appearance of the state. They have referred to the skyline of smoke belching from factory chimneys and the h.'.r/i of busy machinery. They hav • re ferred to the well-painted and ivell-kept homes that lin Hie highways. They have referred to the busy communities reflect ing the active life of North Caro 'inians—all indicating that people are noticing the way in which our state is quietly going about solving its problems to the ad vantage of all citizens. Hardly a day passes in Wash ington that some member of Con gress does not pass along to North Carolina colleagues a fav orable reaction to some activity within the state. As those who have their own eyes on North Carolina come from every far flung section of United States, here is indeed evidence that the people throughout the country are favorably attracted to the state. It has been said on many oc casions that a steady flow of visi ters to the state means new reve nue for our people without un dermining our soil, denuding our forests, depicting our mines or interfering with baiic means of Income. It is gratifying to know that the stats is preparing to launch an aggressive program to j many of whom will remain as XHii — x. - Francisco News—Party Leaves For Washing ton—Flippin Land Set tlement j J"d£ France was be re today from Francisco, accompanied by Walter Ray, J. W. Simmons, W. S. Hart. Walter Ray is adminia- r trator of the James Flippin es tate. Franc*, Simmons and Hart are commissioners appointed by the court in the division of the Flippin lands. They were aU here on business connected with the settlement of the Flippin es tate before Clerk of the Couit Tuttle.

Many sectons of the stair have been developed 1/ th- capital of j the people who visited the- state, became attracted by its possibili ties, and have become North Car olinians in spirit and in deed. These observations le-ad to one important conclusion. It is that North Carolinians should find in j the interest of others refreshing | evidence of what their state of fers. Students should have full knowledge of the opportunities to be found. Tours of the state for and by North Carolinians should be encouraged. The fish erman at Nag's Head should know the woodsmen in the mountains and vice versa. In this way a greater degree of state pride and civic conscious ness will be developed and the high standing of North Carolina among the states will draw even more favorable attention. —By Senator R.
