having much in common and each de.
| pending upon the other, but this is
not yet fully realized by the people
of either jurisdiction, Gov. E. Lee
| Trinkle of Virginia told the Boosters
tonight at their first assembly of the
trip,
| The Virginia Governor painted a
word picture of the possibility of the
two communities uniting and devel
/ oping those things which they have
| in common, for he said as one pros.
pers, SO will the other.
Virginia needs the District and the
| District needs Virginia. the Gov
ernor declared. The two commune
| ties are so much a part of each other
| that when l am in an audience such
as the business men who compose
this gathering 1 feel at home"
Virginia Welcomes Factories.
Gov. Trinkle said that the oppor-
| tunity for the development of the two
areas were much greater than many
| of the people had been made to real.
| of Columbia did not want factories or
| industries, particularly those that
| emitted much smoke, but just across
| the river in Virginia that State well
comes them and would gladly take
them for development.
why should the District of Co.
lumbia and Virginia stand by and let
| interests from the North pass through
the Capital City and through Virginia
and on further South, when right at
| the Capitals door is land Waiting for
development" he asked.
The two should work together and
stop these industries from passing
| through and both would benefit and
prosper"
He regretted the fact that business
men did not more often cast aside
| their cares and get together as boys,
| as they have on this trip. Gatherings
| of this kind are to be encouraged, he
said, as they result in betterment for
the men, the community and the coun.
try, and serve to put them in an op.
timistic frame of mind.
By such a state of mind the coun-
try will again be drawn to an even
keel from the perilouS times during
and since the war.
