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.”

Community Development, Agri
culture, Industry, Travel and' Rec
reation. 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.”
