Ervin Sluder delivered a sermon of great depth and power. But tirst there was a joyous song service that lasted until almost 9 o'clock. When it was over, we mingled with a host of very dear friends, including the Rev. Carl Roland, who Minnie used io know around Marion when he was a little fellow. When everyone finally went home we went out to Vaden Marrett’s and visited with his family until midnight. The Little Rock church is build ing some much needed Sunday school rooms. Needless to say they are having to raise funds. We were not asked and no one sug gested that we do this, but if any of our Gentle Readers want to give of their substance to a worthy cause, we entreat you to see Vaden Marrett*, or the Rev. George Reynolds and hand them ■ a few dollars for this most deserv ing undertaking. : Grace Ballew O’Brian sfcent last j week end with friends in Marion.

In 1945, according to Paul Kelly, industrial development adminis trator for the Department of Con servation and Development, there were 4,029 manufacturing plants in the state, in 1951, there were 8, 272 plants, a gain of 4,243 plants. Back in 1945 there were 312, 353 persons employed in manu facturing plants in the state; in 1951 the number had grown to 425,000, a gain of 112,642. This is a record Kelly will be able to point to when he appears on the program of the conserva tion congress to be held in Ra leigh, Nov. 17-18-19, when full scale discussions of the state’s hu man and natural resources will be held. The congress, sessions of which will be held in the hall of the house of representatives in the State Capitol, is being spon sored by the State Department of Conservation and Development. The public is invited to attend. “Industrial development i n North Carolina in the past 28 years, 1923-1951, has made rapid and steady progress,” Kelly says. “In 1923, the State had 2,670 man ufacturing establishments. In 1951, 28 years later, there were 8,272 active plants, representing an in crease of 210 percent.” And during this 28-year period, Kelly continues, the 187,336 work ers employed in 1923 had grown to 425,000 by the end of 1951. The percentage increase in the number of industrial workers was 127 percent. Even more remarkable from an economic standpoint is the amount of money paid industrial workers in, the state.
