ADVICE FROM AN OLD MAN
TO THE BEACH RESORTS
OF NORTH CAROLINA
tan Editorial Reprinted from The
Coastland Times, April 8, 1949)

One of the things that is holding
back the progress of the CoastlanC
is its reluctance to turn loose
things for which it gets fad, but
which really mean nothing, except
lin the head. Once we get an idea
that hits the popular fancy for a
moment, we hate like blazes to
turn it loose, and play it to a fag
end, just as the tune "We Have
No Bananas"
1t seems to us that since we must
depend in greatest measure for our
living on the income from tourist
trade, we should remember first of
all, the things that always made
our Coastland communities popu-
lar, spicy, interesting, captivating,
intriguing and wholesomely re-
freshing. Instead of cashing in on
the solid gold that has been mould
ed through the fires of many gen.
erations, we have gone wild on the
subject of Titles, and we think the
mere pictures of them are all we
need to send abroad to bring home
the tourist bacon.
Without yielding anything in the
way Of our other opinions and in
terest in the subject, and without
nreiudicn uo wish fO ronoot how
ever, the opinion that the thing
which has always made the Coast
land stand out, and which has
caused people to live in hope of
coming here to visit, and once hav-
ing been to see, have returned
year after years. the age-old
friendliness of our people. It is the
old desire and habit to help the
stranger as well as the neighbor;
it is their honesty and their good
will and their lack of commercial
ism that has made the Coastland
people worth while.
If we wish to continue to inter-
est people in coming here to visit
and to spend their money, we must
lend every encouragement and
bend every effort to renewing, re-
viving and nourishing the old-time |
courtesy and friendliness. It'll
best in clear, clean,
wholesome atmosphere such as we

be set for a moderate rise for six
months to year after the steel strike
is settled. Industrial production
probably has dropped below 200,
using the Federal Reserve board in
dex, compared with 221 in the first
quarter of the year. Shut downs and
lay offs are spreading as more and
more plants run out of steel. But,
once the strike is settled, steel and
other industries choked off by the
strike are likely to operate at ca
pacity for many months. Defense
spending by the government will in
crease. With wage increases in other
industries likely to follow a raise
for steel workers, consumer spend
ing probably will increase.
WF1EAT-A substantial price rise
appears probable by early winter.
Marketing the new crop, estimated
at s percent less than in early June,
is rounding the peak. Since the
spring wheat crop is unusually light
compared with the winter wheat
crop, receipts probably will drop
sharply in the next few weeks.
Holding by producers to place i'm
der government loan probably win
set a new high record due to the
price discount of IS to 80 cents a
bushe1 below the loan value. For
the crop year, prices to farmers may
average about cents below the eff
fective loan rate, the u. S. depart
ment of agriculture predicts.
Present indications are that carry
over at the end of the season will be
about 425,000,000 bushels compared
with about 250,OOO,0OO bushels this
year. Hence, the government has set
the 1858 crop goal at "a, 100000 acres
which, with normal yields, would
produce about 1,O8O, 100000 bushels,
or about 17O, 100000 bushels less than
this years crop.
FEED GRAINS-Any further de-
cline in oats and barley prices is
likely to be small, but corn prices
may show additional weakness in
the next two months if crop pros
poets are maintained. New crop
prospects and July farm and ter
minal market stocks total 6 percent
more than last year for corn, 2 per-
cent more for oats and 10 percent
less for barley.
Grain-using livestock in the nexi
feeding season probably will be 8 OF
4 percent less than in the past year
If crop prospects are maintained, the
feed situation will be easier, feeC
prices lower and most feeding ratio
more profitable than in the pas

MOST MONTANA farm and ranch
operators take advantage of the
years first good weather to clean
up their buildings to paint and re-
pair and renovate. At about the
same time, too, host of other opera .
tors move through the state to clean
up by taking advantage of the farm
ers and ranchers.
This year is no different. The shy
sters are moving through with their
high pressure sales talks, phony APP

But whatever appeals they use. they

from a Montana farmer who is now

of @paint" wash from the roofs Of
his buildings at every rain.
The bogus group contacted him,
represented themselves as from a
state-owned business and offered a

investigation showed the farmer that
the ''paint' could be washed off with
wet rag.
Needless to say, he found the roof
painting company to be nonresident;
the contract was as worthless as the
paint job. And there's nothing he can
do about it now.

they claimed, was based on the
