Says State Must Dress Up If It Would Get Tourists Unsightly and Ugly Spots Leave More. Lasting Impres sion Than Beautiful Spots, C. W, Roberts Declares* Advertising Is So und business ' Oaily Utipntrh Burena, la 111* Sip Walter Hotel. »v .1 RASiiriitV 11,1 Raleigh, June 28—If North Carolina wants to attract more visitors, and especially to keep them coming back year after year, the various communi ties and the individuals in them must paint up, spruce up, beautify road sides and vacant lots and eliminate the many eyesores which exist in al most every part of the State at the present time, according to Coleman W. Roberts of Charlotte, member of the State Board of Conservation and Development, and of the special ad vertising committee which is direct ing the $250,000 State advertising cam paign, and president of the Carolina Motor Club. Mr. Roberts maintains that it is very necessary to get the co operation of every county, city and town in the State in making the State more attractive to visitors in order to make the new State adver_ using campaign a success. “Believe it or not, but unsightly and ugly spots leave a far more lasting impression in the minds of visitors than do the beautiful places they may see, with the result that it is up to us to elimmare as many of these ugly places as possible before the new visitors start coming into the State,’ Mr. Roberts said. “We may have be come so used to it that we do not real ize it but most of our highways en ter our most attractive cities either through ramshackle, tumble-down col ored sections with paintless, rickety shacks, or through equally unattrac tive industrial sections, dotted with unsightly dump heaps, pobrly built and ill-kept filling stations and other eyesores. And along many rural high ways are unpainted, poorly kept farm houses and tenant houses, with tum ble down barns and sheds ill-smelling pig pens that are most repulsive to visitors from other states. Yet a lit tle paint, a little thought, some vines, flowers and shrubbery could trans_ form most of these places into places of rural attractiveness. Most of the owners of these places are able to stand the slight additional cost of making them look more attractive. They either have not thought of it or have not realized that it would pay them to do so. They must be con vinced now that it will pay them good returns to beautify and clean up their properties, whether in rural sections or in cities and towns. “During the great haste in North Carolina's period of industrial expan sion, expediency and practicability were the chief yardsticks by which homes, highways, factories and even entire villages were constructed. Un adorned industrialism a powerful though not a beautiful, youth the fair-haired son of the people. To compensate for the type of architec ture which concerned itself only with utility, North Carolina now needs to cover up, dress up and beautify in every way possible. “There is no structure anywhere whose appearance canont be greatly improved when tied to the earth with flowers, trees, grass and shrubs. There is no soil in the state that will not lend itself to producing screens of vegetation for the blemishes that need covering. “North Carolinians must remember PHOTOPLAYS STEVENSON TODAY TOMORROW Loibsorh/ Ml Una MERKEL-Eric LINDEN # .

So it is good business for every one in the gtate to try to do his or her part to make the state more attractive from a scenic standpoint for the visitors who come, here for rest and recreation. “It is also sound business as well as a fine nv\r to advertise the State and keep more and more visitors com ing back to it, for all those who come in contact with tourists—the highway patrolmen, local police officers filling station attendants, tourists home and tourist camp operators, hotel employes case proprietors—always to be courte ous and helpful and eager to lend any assistance they can to make the stay of these people in North Carolina more pleasant. “If the people over the State will keep these things in mind, there is no doubt that our new state advertising campaign will get results and bring hundieds of thousands of new tour ists and new dollars into the State ” BROiILLILP One of District Directors In SIOO,OOO Drive for Col lege Fund Announcement of the organization that will carry on the campaign for SIOO,OOO for Louisburg College reveals Rev.

JAMES CLINTON IN TWO MESSAGES Encouraging Attendance at Christian Church Sunday to Hear Minister Dr. James R. Clinton, of Philadel phia, conducting a preaching mis sion at Congregational - Christian church, had most encouraging attend ance at two services at the church Sunday, and brought stimulating mes sages to the congregations. Dr. Clinton said in part: “There are no indolent forces in this wonderful universe. Moral and spiritual forces are even more active. And in the ex periences of those who live in trust ful and obedient communion with the living, loving, controlling God, they are working together for ultimate and eternal good.” At the evening service, the preach er said “That life was drifting with us all. We are responsible for choos ing the drift. The apostle Paul chose his drifts toward his Lord. The end and goal of all his thinking, planning habits of life was his Lord. Noth ing in the Pilgrim could, break the trend. Not even death could interrupt the drift. He lived unto his Lord and died unto his Lord. Death had no more significance for the Christian believer than the dropping of a gar ment at a wayside station from a non stopping train between Henderson and New York. ■ If we live wisely and spiritually, we shall die triumphantly. In other words, there is no death in Christian experience. It is eternal life. Dr. Clinton speaks each evening this week at Congregational-Christian church, and the community is cor dially invited to hear his brilliant messages. . v • PASCHALi, REUNION IS SET EOR JULY 6 The annual Paschall reunion will be held this year on Tuesday, July 6, instead of July 4, which co ™ es ° n Sunday, it is announced by N.

You’re Telling Mel ■ ■ H By WILLIAM KITT Central Press Writer Now that the strawberry season is about over in most parts of these United States most of us awaken to the fact that three great privileges of being an American are liberty, op portunity and an introduction to strawberry shortcake. I Important Notice I I To Owners and Drivers I I of Motor Vehicles I On and after July 1, 1937, the laws pro- I hibiting double parking (and parking more than one hour on Garnett Street ■ will be strictly enforced. I All offenders will positively be arrested I and prosecuted after the above date. | I John H. Langston I Chief of Police. PAGE THREE It is one of the paradoxes of the kitchen that the strawberry shortcake is neither short nor a cake. But it is all good eating. A visiting European gourmet once said the strawberry shortcake was not a confection at all but a master piece of the culinary art painted in rod and white by a ga.'e stove genius ;v*th the soul of a Titian and the ar tistry of Rembrandt. It is more than that. It is the only spring poem that we don’t mind sam p irg over and ove" again. The Indians discovered the true usage of the strawberry. That ex plains why they fought as hard a 7 they did to keep the palefaces out of their country. They were afraid there wouldn’t be enough of nature’s giant, sweet rubies to go around. We know one man who refuses all desserts but a bowl of huge strawber ries blanketed with chilled, fresh cream. Anyway, he says, strawberries aren’t a dessert —they are a privilege.
