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-

erate completely against some sec
tions. 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-

MRS. CONLEY ROSS BEACHAM, who before her marriage on Thurs
day evening, July 17, was Miss Elizabeth Kay Nelson, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Crandell Nelson of Durham. Mr. Beacham is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Leland Beacham of Kitty Hawk.
Durham.—Thursday evening at
7:30 at Bragtown Baptist Church
Miss Elizabeth Kay Nelson of Dur
ham became the bride of Conley
Ross Beacham of Kitty Hawk. The
Rev. Lawrence H. Knott of Clin
ton, uncle of the bride, officiated
in the double ring ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Crandell Nelson of Dur
ham, and the groom is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. John Leland Beacham
of Kitty Hawk.
Prior to the ceremony. Miss
Phyllis Duke, organist, and Miss
Sandra Motley, vocalist, presented
a program of wedding music.
The vows were spoken before a
background of woodwardia ferns
and palms, wrought iron candel
abra burning white candles, floor
baskets filled with white flowers.
The family pew’s were marked with
white flowers and white libbons.
A Prie-Dieu covered with white
satin centered the wedding scene.
The bride, given in marriage by
her father, wore a dress of chan
tilly lace which featured a fitted
bodice, “V” neckline, designed with
seed pearl and sequins, long fitted
sleeves ending in points over wrist,
tering to any customer is courtesy.
Courtesy should be the watch
word—the motto of the people of
the Coastland. By making our vis
itors feel happy, at home and as
if among friends, we need only a
limited investment in cash. Nature
have provided us free with the
most valuable thing one may sell.
So long as we operate by the same
rules of any other successful mer
chant or salesman we can, right
here at home, develop a tremen
dous industry out of what we al
ready have. It’s all right if we get
a little industry going to warm
us up during the. dull months of
winter, hut the one we already
have will continue to bring home
more and better bacon, and above
all no problems with it; a business
that’s always cash on the barrel
head, no headaches, no refunds,
no adjustments, no bad accounts.
What can beat a deal like this?

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.
