PAGE TWELVE MEEKINS ON MAKING THE MOST OF WHAT WE HAVE A perennial wail from most small towns is for more payrolls. It is loudest in dull season when stores are empty, and merchants hunger for the cash register mu sic that accompanies the free spending of what so many call the ■‘‘working class” of people. It is widely accepted that those who ■work in small factories spend their money “as soon as they get it,” which often means they spend be cause they are in need. A weekly payroll is what mer chants like to see, when on a Sat urday night those with pay checks sally forth to supply their house hold needs, and buy themselves new clothes or a trinket or two for the children. A weekly pay roll follows the construction of some sort of a mill or a plant re quiring an investment of many thousands of dollars. Right there is where local interest stops, for the business man who bawls the loudest about dull trade, often is the last fellow who would put up a cent of capital stock to establish an industry in his home town. The general refrain is that “somebody ought to come here and start up a big factory.” It is a foolish statement indeed, and one made without any thinking what ever. Establishment of a big fac tory is not profitable, nor possible other than under certain favorable conditions. First it must be cen trally located where transporta tion. is easy, both in and out. Freight rates being a terrific fac tor; it must be near the source of raw materials and it must be in a location advantageous for distri bution of its products. And above all, it must have nearby, an ample and dependable labor supply. Many of these factors operate against the establishment of in dustry in several sections of our coastland. All of these factors op- NOTICE OF SPECIAL BOND ELECTION AND NEW REGISTRATION IN DARE BEACHES SANITARY DISTRICT A special bond election will be held between 6:30 A.M. and 6:30 R. M.

Large manufacturing enter prises in this highly competitive age operate on a small margin of profit, hence they depend for divi dends on large volume operations at a high peak. In many parts of the coastland there is no railroad transporta tion. Raw materials must be hauled by motor truck a iong distance to a dead-end, and from this same dead-end the finished product must take off again on its long journey to the consumer. All this is not said byway of closing the door on establishment of industry in our coastland. To the contrary, it is to shine the light on the problems that face us, so that we may find our way around our drawbacks and stumbling blocks. There is no need to waste our time running down blind av enues in search of industry. Our challenge is to exercise resource fulness, ingenuity, and long planning, whereby we may find something new and valuable that will lend itself to development in to profitable payrolls for our com munities. In the meantime however, we will waste a lot of time, and lose a lot of money if we merely cast blindly about seeking someone who might come in with the capi tal to establish industry. We can throw the world away combing for stray pennies, while we already have fortunes right here in our own yard. At this time some 80 per cent of the income of many areas of this coastland comes from the trade of tourists who visit us the year round. Currituck, Hyde, and Tyrrell of course are more for tunate than Dare in that their tra ditional agriculture is a sustain ing economic backlog. But Dare, with its Government payroll di minished to a new low, and its once profitable commercial fisheries de pleting year by year, may consider itself fortunate if it can get 20 per cent of its income from anything other than the tourist dollar. Since our section has so much to sell to tourists, and can prepare itself to handle many times over the business it now enjoys from tourist sources, it has only to pre pare itself to accommodate more people. Like any other business, the package must be nicer, there must be a few more pleasant sur prises for the customer, and of course, the prime requisite for ca- DURHAM GIRL MARRIIES KITTY HAWK MAN JULY 17 V' ...

SMITH Secretary, f Dare Beaches Sanitary District Board : T-7-18-3tc AVON AND HATTERAS HARBOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS UNDERWAY Wilmington, July 10.—Mainte nance dredging got underway Wed nesday at Avon on the Outer Banks in a four-way project which will end three months hence at Barden’s Inlet at Lookout Bight, according to a report by Col. H. C. Rowland, Jr., the Corps of Engi neers District Engineer here. Colonel Rowland’s announcement said the Avon work, consisting of about 17,000 cubic yards of ma terial to restore project channel depth of six feet, will be complet ed about July 15. From this point the dredge will move to Wallace Channel inside of Ocracoke Inlet to dredge an estimated 100,000 cubic yards to restore the normal 12-foot depth. This will take about 12 days to complete. Third step in the work involves shoals in the seven-foot-deep wa terway from Pamlico Sound to Beaufort Harbor and to include dredging in Atlantic’s seven-foot channel and the five-foot channel at Davis. Approximately 20 days will be required to move the esti mated 125,000 cubic yards. Final phase will concern restor ing project depth of seven feet in the channel leading from Back Sound to Lookout Bight which is popularly known as Barden’s Inlet. This job involves some 35,000 cubic yards and will require about a week to finish. The work is under contract to the Norfolk Dredging Company of Norfolk at $142,850. The Norfolk firm has assigned the work to the 16-inch dredge CHARLESTON. Colonel Rowland’s report also pointed out that work has begun on the construction of a protective fender system on each side of the entrance through the rubble stone breakwater at Hatteras. This work is under contract to T. J. Crooks and E. W. Tate Construction Com pany of Norfolk for $9,203. It will require about a month to complete. One other project, he said, con cerns the beginning of a continuing project to restore the Atlantic In tracoastal Waterway to project depth of 12 feet. The Cottrell Contracting Company of Norfolk is scheduled to begin dredging in the Neuse River—Newport River section on July 18 at an award of $116,580. Other sections of the sheltered route will be dredged to project denth as funds become available. The firm will use the 12-inch dredge MARION to per form the work.
