“I believe there will soon be a
new travel slogan,” declared Mrs. C.

“I’ve traveled across the nation
50 times,” Eli Aylsworth of Provi

isn’t a state in the Union that has
anything on North Carolina.”
“Inside of four years, just because
of this tour, North Carolina and

That was a new discovery for
