tc the tourist trade do so because
they drifted into it, letting people
rent rooms in their cottages at
the shore, or because they neces-
sarily rented space to augment
sparse incomes"
Noble said that most Of the trou,
BILE came from tie fact that an
estimated 1000 hotel rooms are
desperately needed if the becahes
are to challenge the dominant
positions of Myrtle and Virginia
Beaches. He also called for more
ard better services to guest1.
"a man may be a clerk 50
weeks out of the year, but when
he comes to Carolina or Wr.gntS-
vile, he's got a right to expect
good, quick, dependable service.
He's got a right to, he's paying
fol it."
Also among the primary things
desired for expanding the trade
is the desperate need for moi e
end more varied attractions,
sports being of the highest impor-
lance, Noble said. He counted up
the present sports facilities as
swimming, a slightly smaller
amount of fishing, and "some
sail and motor boating. 1--WE need
more sports attractions, especial
ly spectator-type ones" He did
not enlarge upon what spacitc
types were needad.
"The tourist trade will continue
to grow in the United States in
the future as It has been doing
since the automobile came into
prominence in the twenties," said
Noble. To-day it IS a business Of
or SIS, 900, 0O0, 900 turnover, or ap-
proximately nine per cent of the
