Thad Eure Speaker
Industry Day Celebrated
With Dinner At Armory
More than 300 persons, In
cluding out-of-town Industry
representatives and other dis
tinguished citizens and In
dustrial leaders, gathered at the
Warrenton Armory Wednesday
night for a banquet marking the
end of Warren County Industry
Day.
The Hon. Thad Eure, secre
tary of State, was the principal
speaker, pinch-hlttlng for Gov
ernor Dan Moore, who came
down Wednesday morning with
an attack of mumps on the
other side of his face.
The armory was beautifully
decorated In spring flowers,
with the speakers stand being
outlined with flowers and floral
decorations on each table, and
with the walls lined with dis
plays of local industries. In
charge of the decorations were
Mrs. Clyde Rod well of the War
renton Garden Club and Mrs.
Duke Miles of the Little Gar
den Club.
Expressing his regrets over
the Inability of Governor Moore
to be present and his pleasure
In again being In Warrenton,
Eure said that he could never
replace the governor, but added,
"But I ain't got the mumps."
He said that while he held In
his hands a copy of the speech
written for delivery by Gover
nor Moore and already released
to the press, that his would be
a different speech, probably not
recognizable in press accounts
of the meeting by the dally
press.
Presented by Rep. W. R.
Drake, Eure quoted only brief
ly from the Governor' speech,
as he devoted much of his talk
to praise of the Governor, and
tributes to former Senator
Frank Banzet, former House
Speaker John Kerr, Jr., pre
sent Representative W. R.
Drake and district Senator
Julian Allsbrook, and to the
glorious past and fine future of
Warren County.
He spoke of the days when
Warrenton was known as the
town that owned Itself, with its
town-owned hotel and railroad,
and said that In those days
one spoke of Warren County with
the same bated breath now re
served for Texas. With the rest
of Eastern North Carolina War
ren fell on evil days when the
problem was to make one step
forward without making two
steps backward, Eure said. And
like the rest of Eastern Car
olina Warren County Is entering
a new and brighter day as It
develops Industries and accents
Its potentials.
Describing Warren's In
dustry Day as a Red Letter
Day for Warren County, he said
that the county was already on
the way upward. Warren Coun
ty Is alive and determined to
go forward and In this effort
It has the full cooperation of
the State of North Carolina as
Indicated by the large number
of C&D personnel present for

the meeting. He spoke of the new
industries coming into the coun
ty, the beauty and attractiveness
of Gaston Lake, where he earl
ier In the day enjoyed a boat
ride. Warren County has great
beauty and great potentials, he
said. Pointing out that If a
county does not toot its own
horn, It is apt to remain un
tooted, Eur a said that If War
ren citizens were reluctant
to toot, that the Secretary of
State is happy to toot Warren's
horn for them.
Eure ended his remarks In a
serious vein a* he quoted from
Governor Moore's prepared ad
dress: "There Is a Job to be
done, and you have now provided
your leadership. Your potential
is here. Let's get on with the
Job."
W. P. Minette, director of
warrencoffifty ftdustruieato
misslon, presided over the
meeting. The Invocation was de
livered by the Rev. James If.
Stoney, rector of Emmanuel
Episcopal Church of War renton.
Leonard Daniel, Warrantoo
Postmaster, aerved as master
of ceremonies, and recognized
special guests.
Frank W. Reams, Warren
County agricultural extension
agent, showed a number of
slides of animals, crops and
recreation facilities showing
Warren County to be "A Place
