Community Face-Lifting — A New-Old Path of Progress Thousands of Tar Heels are learn ing ' a new approach to “keeping up with the Joneses.” For the record, the approach is “community and area development.” This concept of progress was put to work in ,1950, oftaially. As a chief result, today there are 917 organized communities and ten or ganized areas in North^ Carolina. But these warm Statistics give only a bare hint of achievements in North Carolina’s people-to-people program of prtjgress. The real story can be seen in a slip cover, a country ham, a cob bler’s bench and a place mat. Mrs. Charles Graham of Linwood (Davidson County) tells about the slip cover. She is chairman of the Community Development Division of the NortKerd Piedmont Area Development Association. You start out making a slip cover for a chair, and before you know it you’ve remodeled your house :— and your pocketbook,” she Say*. The face-lifting spirit is very contagious in a community, says Mrs. Graham. Mr. Jones brightens his home inside and out, and his neighbors soon follow suit. The whole community becomes a better place to live as its . citizens work together on improvements for the benefit of everybody,- J The coutry ham, produced by Coke Marion of Sparta (Alleghany County), is a fast-selling item in the Trading Post at Glendale Springs on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Marion sells hundreds Of'hams each year at this “country store,” a pro ject of the Northwest North Caro lina Development Associatiion. Eighty-six per cent of the "trad ing Post income goes back to, the people of the 11 Northwest counties who sell their homemade articles there. / ' ,, i-\ Mayleck Industries in Wingate (Union County) produces the cob bler’s bench, along with 150 other decorative pine items for the home. “We doing a business of $1,500,000 a year and we’re $300,000 behind in orders,” says Bernard Helms, an officials of this eight-year-old firm Helms says that “anyone who lives .in this community and asks for a job gets it. If he can't do the first job we give him, we find one he can do.” Iflfl The restaurant place mat is one facet of the Northern Piedmont Association’s campaign, to entice tourists “to spend another night” in the area. On the mat is a map of the seven-county area, with places highlighted of interest to tourists. “Tourists spend $30 a day, on the average,” say John Gaddy, chair man of the association’s Travel and Recreation Division, “The longer we can get them to stay in North Caro , lina, the more North Carolina ben efits.” SEE US . . .

These are the tools of pro gress in the Area Development Pro gram. The neighbors are watching the Joneses with high interest — not just to see whether they have a. new car or a dolor tgg-vee. They’re looking in a spirit of friendliness and cooperation for the communi ty’s sake. And the Joneses are watching the Joneses in other communities and connties and areas. Where there may be ideas nt-. woric for progress that could work just as well back home. . a Greensboro leaders realized a few years ago that bank deposits were bigger and per capita income high er in Northwest» North Carolina than in the Northern Piedmont. The Northwest record in area de velopment convinced Greensboro leaders that they, too, needed an area progress program. Bland Worley, chairman of the board - of the Northern Piedmont Association,; believes the people of1 his area learned a great lesson from other areas. '* *'•* ‘‘We no longer feel that an in dustry must come to. Greensboro for our city to realize benefits from it,” he says. "No city Sr county can go it' alone, for prospective indus tries look at adjoining counties where much of their labor force may come from. “All of our organizations have one objective: To make the Northern Piedmont a better place to live in.” LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE TO CREDITORS The undersigned, having qualified a; executor of the estate of Alice D.
