AS Federal reports and studies
dealing with national affairs during
the last few years are given to the
Congress as a basis for considering
new government programs and po-
licies, ample evidence is found that
North Carolina has an underlying
stability equaled by only compare
lively small number of states. Support
of this statement is availble in vol
umes of Federal statistics and data
regarding the States industry, COM
merce and agriculture. They tell a
graphic story Of how well North Car
DINA weathered the storms of the de-
preston and how well the State is
prepared to move forward during the
fairer economic weather ahead.
One reason the State enjoys such a
favorable position is because of the
diversity of it's agriculture and indus
try Farmers are not forced to depend
workers on single branch of indus
try. And along the seaboard, in the
Piedmont region and in the mountains
are found many indications that the
economic stability in North Carolina
is Well-founded.
Naturally, the fine standing of the
State, reflected in the reports and
studies sent to Congress, is a source
of much qualification to the members
of the delegation in Congress. 1t
should also bring pride to all citizens,
particularly at this commencement
season for schools and colleges, when
so many of our younger generation
prepare to face the problems of life,
economic and social.
On numerous occasions, my col
leagues in Congress who have visited
North Carolina or passed through the

tinations, have been loud in their

NCREA, the State and National For
est Service and of the N. C. League
Of Municipalities. This committee was
formed some time ago work out and
adjust problems arising from the ex-
tensive rural identification program
in the State as they affected the diff
fefent utility companies.
Some six or eight weeks ago Chair
man Dudley Bagley, of the State Elec-
trification Authority, received a letter
from Capus M. Waynick, then chair
man of the State Highway Commits
sion, asking if some plan could not be
worked out between the highway de-
partment, the identification authority
the power companies and the county
cooperatives, with a view to trying to
preserve the beauty of the trees and
the roadsides. Waynick pointed out
that in too many cases beautiful trees
were being mercilessly slaughtered by
line construction crews, that appar-
emily no thought was being given by
power companies, municipally-owned
companies or cOoperatives to preserv-
ing the beauty of the highways and
of the trees.
Chairman Bagley Immediately held
several conferences with Chairman
Waynick, also with Frank H. Brandt,
landscape engineer for the highway
commission and with j. M. Granger,
engineer for the identification au-
thority, in an effort to evolve a work
able plan to suggest to the utilities
committee.
At first the representatives of the
utilities companies were decidedly
cold towards the entire matter and
showed very little interest But re-
Gently the committee started taking
an interest in the Identification idea
and at the meeting here Tuecday ap-
pointed a committee on roadside beau
tification to cooperate with the state
identification authority and he high
way commission and to workout a
series of suggested plans. This com
mittee is as follows: Martin Swartz

praise of the physical appearance Of
the State. They have referred to the
skyline Of smoke belching from fac
tory chimneys and the hum of busy
machinery. They have referred to the
well-painted and well-kept homes that
line the highways. They have referred
to the busy communities reflecting
the active life of North Carolinians--
all indicating that people are noticing
the way in which our State is quietly
going about the solving it's problems
to the advantage of all citizens.
Hardly a day passes in Washing
ton that some member Of Congress
does not pass along to North Carolina
colleagues a favorable reaction to
some activity within the State AS
those who have their eyes on North
Carolina come from every far-flung
section of the United States, here is
indeed evidence that the people thro-
ughout the country are favorably at
tracted to the State.
1t has been SAID on many occasions
that a steady flow of visitors to the
State means new revenue for our peo-
pie without undermining our soil, de-
nuding our forests, depicting our
mines or interfering with basic means
of income. It is gratifying to know
that the State is preparing to launch
an aggressive program to increase the
flow of visitors, many of whom will
remain as residents. Many sections of
the State have been developed by the
capital of the people who visited the
State, became attracted by it's posi-
bilities, and have become North Caro-
linians in spirit and in deed.
These observations lead to one i'm
portant conclusion. It is that North
Carolinians should find in the interest
of others refreshing evidence of what
their State offers. Students should
have full knowledge of the opportuni-
ties to Eoe found. Tours of the State
for and by North Carolinians should
be encouraged. The fisherman at
Nag's Head should know the woods
men in the mountains and vice versa
In this way greater degree of State
pride and civic consciousness will be
| developed and the high standing OF
North Carolina among the states will
draw even more favorable attention

Raleigh. May 19.-Industry is at
last "goine places in the prevention
of accidents in mills and factories,
with the result that Industrial acct
dents are becoming almost thing OF

fact that both the management ana
the employees have become safety
conscious" Chairman T. A. Wilson, OF
the N. C. Industrial Commission, point
ed out today on the eve of the open
ing of the eighth annual safety con-
ference in Winston-Salem tomorrow.
But many industries are finding that
highway safety has not kept pace
with industrial! Saf3.y with the result
that highway accidents are now cOs!-
ing them mHc1 more than shop aid

emphasis n this years safety confer
ence will M on ways and mcaTs to
reduce The number of highway acct
dents.
Take for example, the experience
of the Champion Fibre Company. CT
Canton, during 1885, Chairman Will
son said. During 1886 this company
did not have single employee killed
while on the job in the plant itself
while for five months not a single en-
ploy was even injured in an indus
trial accident inside the plant. But
during this year eight employees were
killed in highway accidents. The com
pany figures tnat it cost many thous-
ands of dollars t. train these men
that their deaths were a heavy loss
to the company. O'st of the SO work
ers killed last year while on duty, 20
were killed in highway accidents
while total of 1925 persons were kill
ed in highway accidents in the state
in 1886, representing a tremendous
economic loss"
