DAILY DISPATCH, SATURDAY, MAY 15,1937 FARM WOMEN’S BOOTH WINS SWEEPSTAKES ClT askssisi Urged To Help in Beautifi cation To Attract Tour ists to State Dally Dispatch Barena, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. ■aASKKitVIL.L. Raleigh, May 15—The Board of Conservation and Development is ex pected to adopt the suggestions made by Governor Clyde R. Hoey and by Colemian W. Roberts of Charlotte, one of its new members, that every coun ty, city and town in the State be urged to cooperate with the State in clean ing up and beautifying the roadsides, so that the State will be more attrac tive to tourists and visitors. The board is also expected to urge all cities and towns to make a concerted effort to get all the smaller hotels, tourist homes and boarding houses to improve their appearance and the quality of their meals. The proposal mtade by Roberts for the appointment by the governor of a Statewide committee on roadside im provement and beautification, with similar committees in every county of the State,' was well received by the hoard members and the governor, and it is agreed that a concerted effort, reaching into every county in the State, will be made to make the State more attractive to tourist Si. Both Governor Hoey and Mr. Rob erts pointed out that the new adver tising campaign being undertaken by the State, in which it will spend $125,- 000 <a year to bring tourists, new resi dents and new industries into the State, will be of little value unless each county, city and community co operates in making these visitors want to stay in North Carolina. “We must wake the people of the State to the point where they will extend some real southern hospitality to the tourists who are already com ing into the state in increasing num bers,” Roberts said. “At the present time, there are too many in the State who are interested only in the money the visitors spend—and in giving as little in return as possible for this money. This attitude is frightening people away, making them prejudiced agjainst the State. We need to culti vate more real friendliness and help fulness, so that people will want to come back to North Carolina again and again.” J. D. MAYO INJURED IN WILSON WRECK Joseph D. Mayo, of the local or ganiatzion of the American Agricul tural Chemical Company, was injured with several others when his car and another were in collision at a street intersection in Wilson late Friday. Mr. Mayo was able to return to his home here after being treated in a Wilson hospital. The crash occurred about op. ha. , . Wiley Davis, Wilson representative of the A. A. C. Company, riding with the Henderson man, was injured also, as was Louis Giddy, in the other car. None was seriously hurt. RAILS INDUSTRIALS FIRMER IN STOCKS Dealings in Exchange as Whole, How ever, Almost as Listless as on Last Saturday New York, May 15. —(AP) —It was fair weather for selected rails and in dustrials in today’s stock market, but other categories shifted aimlessly in a fog. Dealings, almost as listless as last Saturday, when the volume was the smallest since June 6 a year ago, found favored issues up fractions to a point or so. Transfers were around 350,000 shares.

Chairman Dunlap expected to confer first with Congressrrjan R. L. Doughton, chair man of the ways and means commit tee, and if possible, to confer with President Roosevelt or arrange for a conference if it seemed necessary. He was also planning to confer Congressman A. L. Bulwinkle, the only member of the North Carolina delegation in Congress who is regard ed as not being whole-heartedly back ing the parkway and the approprio tion to complete it. The two developments in Washing ton which have proved very disturb ing to the highway department and those who have been backing the pa rkway and want to see it complet ed, are: 1. The action of the House Appro priations Committee in reducing the recommended appropriation for the Blue Ridge Parkway from $5,000,000 to $2,000,000, as a result of the “econ omy wave” in Congress, despite the fact that the last session of Congress enacted Representative Doughton’s bill to appropriate $10,000,000 for “parkways” to be available this year. 2. Reports to the effect that the Tennessee delegation is again becom ing extremely active to get the route of the parkway diverted from Ashe ville over into Tennessee, that it is of fering two votes in the Senjate for the President’s court reorganization pro gram to North Carolina’s one (Sena tor Bailey is opposing the President’s plan) and that it may try to block any appropriation for the parkway unless part of it goes into Tennessee. While Chairman Dunlap did not re veal the purpose of his mission nor what he intended to do while in Wash ington, it was learned today from an [authoritative source that he planned to confer with Congressman Dough ton, the “daddy” of the parkway, and to whom President Roosevelt is un derstood to have given definite assur ance that the parkway would be com pleted. He was also planning to con fer with Senator Robert R. Reynolds ■and other members of the North Caro lina delegation —possibly even with Senator Bailey, although the senior senator is not expected to be of much or any help at the present time—as to the best approach to make or proce dure to follow. It is known, of course that “economy at any price” bloc in the House, consisting mostly of north ern and eastern Democrats and a few Republicans, are slashing appropria tions right and left. It is also known that many of these have very little love for Congressman Doughton be cause of the tax bills he has forced through Congress, and that some are only too willing to try to get back at him. But Congressman Doughton is noted for being a smart horse trader in Congress a3 wetll as a good stock rais er in Alleghany county, with the re sult that those who know him are betting that he will be able to get the parkway appropriation boosted back up to at least $5,000,000 if not to the original $10,000,000. They also believe that he will be able to get the sup port of the President for the early pushing of the parkway work. So for the time being, the hopes of ;all those interested in the completion of the parkway are pinned on Dough ton and his closeness to the President’ even though the Tennessee delegation may be applying all kinds of heat in an effort to get the parkway route diverted into Tennessee. They are confident that Doughton, with his many contacts and his tremendous in fluence, will be able at least to get an adequate appropiration for the parkway through the House. But even if the appropriation gets through the House, it will face hard sledding in the Senate, it is agreed. For Senator Kenneth McKeller, of Tennessee, is chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, is sure to have the support of his new colleague, Senator George L. Berry, a strong New Dealer. But in the Senate, the North Carolina * parkway advocates will have to depend almost solely upon the work of Senator Robert R. Rey nolds, due to the fact that Senator Bailey, for the time being at least, is in the administration dog house be cause of his opposition to the Presi dent. , Elliott Shaw Is Pres ident State T. P.
