From a historical standpoint, the President's trip to Roanoke Is land has great significance. It means that perhaps for the first time a President of the United States will visit the place where was born the first ctyld of Eng lish parentage in America and where the first settlement of the English race was attempted in the New World. The result will be that the eyes of the world will be focused on the Eastern shores of North Carolina. What this will mean to the eco nomic development of the state and to strengthening its place on he travel map cannot be told ade quately. It is cerain to mean that the water-niched shores of East ern North Carolina will become a mecca for thousands in search of new travel thrills and adventure. The President will undoubtedly take advantage of this opportun ity to rededicate the national ef- Jart to continue to improve the ec onomic stability of our people gen erally. It will be his first public address since making his first ap pointment to tMe United States Supreme Court. It will be an ad dress that comes near the end of the current session of Congress. And it will be made in a setting where the foundation was laid for our present system of Democracy. I am happy that I shall be priv ileged to accompany the President to North Carolina. If I may again inject a personal thought into this column, I will say that I am hopeful that the opportun ity will be afforded me to bring to the President's attention the situation in North Carolina from the standpoind of current legisla tion. It is particularly important, if the current wage and hour bill is passed by Congress, that due regard be given to the differen tials in the South as compared to other sections. Federal aid for the farmer, at a time when a THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA bumper crop threatens to mean falling prices, is imperative. Some thing must be done pending the time when new farm legislation is enacted. And there is evidence that when such legislation is drafted it will attempt to treat the farm problem on a more per manent basis than has been the case in the past. One of the most hopeful signs in Congress at the moment is the desire of members of both the Senate and the House to spend more time in their respective states. During the last five years most legislation has been drafted on the basis of representation made to Congress by spokesmen for various cross sections of our people. The need for speed has been evident on many occasions. But with better conditions gen erally, it is important that mem bers of Congress have a closer contact with constituents. The viewpoint of the man at the cross roads store and on the farm is much needed. The election of the membership of the House and a third of the membership of the Senate is not so far away. And these elections next year will be an index to public approval of the program now underway and con templated.
