At least that's the hope of the newly formed Highlands Industrial Council. It's been evident for many years that Highlands needs some sort of Income for its year-round residents, who pros per very well during the tour ist season of three to four months during the summer, but find it mighty tough sledding the rest of the year.

CAROLINA PHARMACY Prescription Headquarters Phone 84 dent in the number of people who leave Highlands to find jobs elsewhere and especially 1 the loss of the young people of the community, who leave as soon as they finish school be cause the community offers them no means of earning a livelihood. Up until now little has been done to remedy this situation, 1 but that is where the Industrial Council hopes to bring about a change. The main purpose of the council is to promote the in dustrial development of the area in aftd around Highlands; to bring to Highlands some sort of industry that will give peo- , pie a regular payroll the year round instead of just for a few | months out of the year. It is not the idea of the council to replace the tourist attractions with Industry, but to acquire something that will blend with the resort trade to make High lands a prosperous and grow ing community. ' The chamber of commerce led the way in forming the new council. Representatives from the churches, merchants, civic organizations, the town council, and interested citizens were present at the organizational meeting two weeks ago. At this meeting W. J. Trowbridge, Charles E. Potts, and V. W. Mc Call were elected to head the council, which is composed of 16 puslness and civic leaders of the community. The Jirst task to be under taken by the new organization is preparing a brochure to be presented to prospective com panies that might be interest ed in coming to the Highlands area. This brochure Is to Include the advantages and the disad vantages a company would en counter and it will show what Highlands has to offer. A large group of citizens has been designated and are al ready at work gathering the Information for this thumb-nail sketch of the area and Its peo ple. Included in the brochure will be Information on such topics as climate, history, churches and social agencies, law enforcement, utilities, med ical service, government, and other subjects that will paint a clear picture oiT what this area has to offer to an incoming factory. From this information the council also hopes to learn what steps the people of this area must take in order to sell Highlands to the prospective industry. A One Time SPECIAL Large 6-Oz.
