JhStiww VICTOR. MEEKINS COURTESY COUNTS A traditional bit of praise for the North Carolina coastland has been handed down from time im memorial. It has to do with the courtesy and hospitality that al ways prevailed when the stranger came in our midst. Hospitality was the custom in the old days and all were invited to eat or to spend the night, freely, and with out charge. This spirit from the heart of the people had a great deal to do with making friends for coastlanders. Visitors went abroad singing our praises. Thia sort of reputation gave us prestige and in turn opened doors for us in many place when we went away from home. Kept alive through the years, the reputation has done much to attract visitors after news got out that roads had brought us closer to the outside world. It is quite true now, that so many new visitors are coming it would be quite impossible to ask everyone to eat and sleep free, and it is not expected. The cost would be too great. But we can still keep up the old customs of courtesy and friendliness as they cost nothing, but pay big divi dends. In fact nothing under the sun goes so far as courtesy toward a stranger. Just go into a town any where and get the cold shoulder or be treated discourteous, partic ularly if you wish to spend your money, and the impression you get will be detrimental for years to come and you won’t want to go back to that town. It is only hu man nature for us to feel indif ferent, if not alien toward a com munity whose citizens, and par ticularly whose officers do not treat one right. As time goes on, we people of the Coastland will more deeply understand the value of courtesy, since ware going to be more and more dependent on income from tourist visitors. ""Our old commer cial fishing industry has been fast dwindling away from year to year, and is now insufficient for our people. We now have many people who for the time being have sufficient income from re tired pay to be independent of need for other sources, but this in time will dwindle away as the higher costs of living exceeds ability of small income to make ends meet. We note that courtesy prevails heavily in those regions which have longest depended on the tourist dollar. On a trip through several sections of Florida all the way down to Key West in 1953 we were impressed above all with the courtesy shown by those we met. Nowhere was there a sign of discourtesy, nor even of impa tience, and in some instances courtesies were extraordinary. Not even in Georgia, where we were told we would find contempt for North Carolinians, did we see anything but good will and friendliness. We were told in many localities that the people in business in Florida had come largely from many distant states. There were some of our North Carolinians there in business of course. We were told by newcomers on the Florida Keys that the natives were completely indifferent, and preferred their old way of life with its day by day income from the uncertain luck of a fisherman. Os course we have their counter parts in North Carolina. We have people who’d rather loaf and live on little, than to do some work and enjoy the prestige and com fort of a higher standard.

It has been wisely said, where there is no vision the people perish. We trust there will always be enough vision in the North Caro lina coastland to keep it alive. It has seemed at times there have been few with vision, but that few have been sufficient to prevail over the opposition of many who were selfish and backward. Speaking of good impressions. Suppose one of your dear relatives or friends were traveling in a dis tant state and got his car run in to by a negro; that upon getting out to talk to the man who had run into him, he was killed by the reckless driving of a state police man. What sort of feeling would you have for that state? This is what is reported to have happen ed on the week end near Raleigh. A highway patrolman rushing through a cloud of dust, drove in to a wrecked car and killed an 83-year-old New York doctor who was touring North Carolina. The highway patrol needs to get rid of a lot of immature, smart alecky young men who through their ignorance, cockiness or toadying to local politicians, often cast a serious reflection on a great body of noble men. Such fellows, who sometimes get on the patrol through the influence of an office holding relative or friend, through their ignorance, venality or other deficiencies, do the state inestim able damage, and hamper the work of the good men in the serv ice. While most of the patrolmen are good men, when the state does get a bad one, he i» usually a dumb-bell or stinker of the first water.
