The Mayor Says
By w. RONALD LANE
Mayor, City of Wilmington

There is an old story about a
Florentine and Venetian travel
ing together on train through
Italy and debating the whiles the
merits of their respective cities.
Neither would give ground or ad-
NIT the others town possessed any
claim to fame. Finally the Floren-
tine. with a fancy gesture of polite
ness, rose, bowed to the other, and
said: 'If I were not from
Florence, then I would rather be
from Venice.
That man had pride in his home
city. That's about the feeling OF
We folks here in Wilmington.
We've got pride in our city. We
know there are a lot of good towns
in this old U.S.A. but none better
than Wilmington.
I think that it was Supreme
Court Justice Harold Burton who
once said that a city should be
"a good place to live in and a good
place to work in" Now, if he didn't
have Wilmington, North Carolina,
in mind. he should have. This is
a good place "to live in and to
work in"
Old Town
We are an old town in years
steeped in the tradition of the old
South; our name is etched in the
history of this nation. We have Nv
ed learned and prospered through
the wears - two hundred and SIX
teen of them-since English yeo-
man first erected their trading
shacks on the Cape Fear River
and marked the beginning OF com:
merce in this area. Yes, we are
old in years, but advanced IN
ideas. We yield to no one, to nc
city in this nation in progressive
action in civic spirit, in get ur
and CO.. We may well call ou1
fair city the jewel of North Caro-
lima. the garden spot of the South
the most beautiful city in Amerl
ca.
We look to the future confident
ly because of the past-because o:
what we have been and what we
have accomplished. What we have
built and established are sure
signs of what we can do in. th'
future.
This was a pioneer settlement il
the South. Long before the white
man came, Indians Travelled ant
fished and fought along our beautl
full river. AS early as 1868 settler
from Barbados came here to es
ltablish residence, and by the be
