Raleigh, Nav 13-While the State
is doing a fine thing in provldlng
fund of $125,OOO a year to attract new
tourists and visitors to North caro-
lima, the people of the State must CO.
operate and help provide better acco-
mOdationS, better food, show more
real hospitality and friendllness-
| must get rid of the many eye-sores
and make a real effort to beautlty the
highways and the homes along the
highways, according to Coleman w.
Roberts, of Charlotte, one OF the new
members of the State Board OF Con-
servation and Development, which is
in session here laying plans for its ad-
vertising campaign.
1--WE mus remember that it will be
a waste of money if we spend $1zo'OUu
year advertising North Carcllna
throughout the nation and then fall
to provide proper accommodations for
the people who come here-for they
will then go back home and give the
State more unfavorable advertising
than we can ever overcome with ad-
vertising in newspapers and maya
zines" Roberts said. "Thus one of the
first things we are going to have to
do is to get the people walked up in
every city and founty in the State
and get them interested in providing
better accommodations for the new
people who are going to visit the State
that is, if they want them to come
back.
II was talking the other day to a
man from Baltimore who had heard
about North Carolina, it's southern
cooking and fine hospitality, and who
was making his first trip through the
State with his family. But he was
already disappointed after the first
few days. He said he had expected
to find some real southern cooking
country ham, grits, real southern
cornbread and muffins-but instead
he found only the same food that is
available in the average restaurant or
hotel dining room, with the excep-
ton that most of it was not as good
as could be found in Baltimore or al
most anywhere else in Maryland. The
result is that this man and his fam
lily is not likely to come back to
North Carolina again, at least any
time soon.
"This incident is going to be multi
piled several thousand times over, lat
or on, unless we learn a lesson from
it, and wake up. For we cannot ex-
pect to build up reputation as a
tourist State unless we can keep the
same people coming back again and
again, the way Florida and California
done. They would be sunk if they
could not keep their visitors coming
back year after year. I was up
through Wisconsin and Minnesota last
summer and found ten times more
real friendliness and hospitality there
and far better accommodations than
are to be had in most places in North

Carolina. The people in these states
are doing everything possible to make
things pleasant for the visitors so
they will come back again-and they
are going back in larger and larger
numbers every summer and bringing
others with them.
North Carolina can attract yisi-
tors and keep them coming back, too,
if the people down here will put out
a little more effort and spend some
money for paint, shrubbery and flow
erS, to make the roads and the homes
look more attractive-and if the hotel
and cafe proprietors will wake up to
the fact that they must provide good
food and have attractive looking
places, with courteous service and
clean rooms.
II stopped at a small hotel in a
small town on my way up here from
Charlotte Tuesday to get dinner. It
had a rundown look both inside and
out. The wash room was filthy. The
dining room was unattractive look
ing. Soiled table cloths were on the
tables. The menu indicated there was
chicken and fried ham available, but
the chicken had given out. So beef
stew was substituted. The beef stew
was anything but appetizing and the
ham was fried so hard that it was
like trying to eat a piece of shoe
leather. The check for the dinner
was 88 cents, yet there are plenty of
places in Charlotte or Raleigh where
person could have gotten much
better meal for 25 or 80 cents.
know I shall never stop at that hotel
again and ! doubt if any one else who
goes there will ever come back a
second time. Yet there are literally
hundreds of places of this sort in the
State, any one of which will definite
ly sour any tourists or visitors against
ever coming back to the State again.
That is why I am maintaining
right at the start that we must clean
