Of Broughton’s
Talk To Editors
“Many competent observers, including the late Presi
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt have in recent years referred
to North Carolina as “the best balanced state.
“Taking the State as a whole, this designation may be
well supported. However, in respect to the general distribu
tion of industry, the State is seriously off-balance. For
example at the present time 95 per cent of North Carolina
EtrialProduction occurs west of Raleigh and only five
per cent east of Raleigh.
This condition of economic un
balance as affecting eastern
North Carolina is' particularly
disturbing when we take into
consideration the agricultural
picture. The economy and stana
ard of living of Eastern North
Carolina is almost wholly invol
ved in the production and once
of tobacco. The decline m the
market price of flue-cuied to
bacco that has already been ex
perienced this year has resulted
in the loss of cash income to the
farmers of North Carolina in the
amount of approximately SO
million dollars. Acreage reduct
ions in prospect for next year
and the possibility of further
price problems may involve
even further reduction of in
come and purchasing power.
“Not only is there an unbal
ance in Eastern North Carolina
between agriculture and manu
facturing; even its agricultural

program is badly balanced as
between strictly money crops
such as cotton and tobacco, and
live stock, dairying, grains and
the like.
“It is too much to claim that
the development of North Caro
lina ports would result in a com
plete solution of these problems.
It cannot be doubted, however,
that the reasonable and sound
development of our ports would
bring about almost immediately
industrial development in this
se 'tion where it is so badly
needed. A study of the port
states to the north and south of
us will indicate how completely
this is true.
r ui lxici xixux c. uiic wi u ^
greatest needs of North Caro
lina, agriculturally and industri
ally, is the processing of the
state’s own products. Eastern
North Carolina, for example,
grows in great abundance such
crops as peanuts and soy beans,
which are susceptible of almost
unlimited processing for food
and other useful purposes. Un
fortui dely, however, almost the
entire crop is shipped elsewhere
to be processed, ultimately, in
part, to be shipped back to us
in finished products, bringing a
'high price. Undoubtedly, better
i shipping facilities through our
ports would attract to North
Carolina many processing plants
dealing with peanuts, soy beans,
corn and wheat products, can
neries, fertilizer plants, lumber
processing plants, and the like.
“It is with these things in
mind that the General Assembly
of 1945 created for the first time
in the history of the state an
] over-all ports commission, desig
nated as North Carolina State
Ports Authority. Under the re
quirements of the Act, a mem
ber of the commission was ap
pointed from each of the coun
ties of Carteret, New Hanover,
j Brunswick and Cumberland.
1 The other three members are
| from up-state, one being a lead
ing textile manufacturer,
| another prominent in the furni
ture field, and the third an exec
utive officer of a large tobacco
processing company.
“The General Assembly in
creating this Ports Authority
made no appropriation of funds,
i However, thanks to the undaunt
! ed faith and untiring energy of
! the able chairman of the com
mission, R. B. Page, with the
j unanimous support of the other
members, much was accom
plished during the first two
years of its existence.
“During the year 1946 negoti
ations were successfully con
cluded under which the Federal
Works Administration allotted to
the State Ports Authority $90,000
for the purpose of making a full
and comprehensive port devel
opment and traffic survey. With
the aid of one of the foremost
engineering and traffic concerns
of America, such a survey is
nearing completion. It will con
stitute in some respects the only
comprehensive survey ever
made of the needs and possi
bilities of port developments in
North Carolina.

Authority shortly after the
termination of the war beg a n
active negotiations to have the
site and plant of the North Caro
lina shipbuilding' company turn
ed over to the Ports Authority
for port development at Wil
mington. Many obstacles w ere
encountered, but the Ports Au
thority stuck to its task. The
members, with the active coop
eration of our delegation in Con
gress. led in this endeavor by
the able Congressman from the
seventh congressional district!
.Hon. J. Bayard Clark, took their
case directly to the president of
the United States. It was pointed
out that the Port of Wilmington,
as well as other ports of this
state, suffered during the war
by being virtually a “no-man’s
land” insofar as shipping was
concerned. Convoys during the
war moved only from Norfolk
north and from Charleston
south, leaving the ports of this
state virtually stranded and
completely idle.
“As a result of these activi
ties, the Maritime Commission
finally has agreed to lease to
the North Carolina State Ports
Authority a very substantial
portion of the shipyard at Wil
mington to be used for port ter
minal development and for in
dustrial sites along the water
front. The final details of such
a lease, in which the rental will
be only nominal, are now being
worked out.
“In recognition of tire out
standing achievements of the
Ports Authority without even an
appropriation for postage or of
fice expense, the last session of
the General Assembly appropri
ated for the operation of the
Ports Authority the sum of 50
thousand dollars per year for
the two years beginning July 1,
1947. With this appropriation,
the Authority will be able to
proceed administratively with
much better results. Negotia
tions are virtually completed for
the employment of an outstand
ing engineer as director of the
port developments i n North
Carolina.
“It is believed that with these
accomplishments it will be pos
sible in the very near future by
means of state appropriations
and federal grants to achieve
something really worth while in
connection with port develop
ments for this state.
“No longer is the devel
opments of ports in North Caro
lina a matter of interest only
to the eastern seaboard coun
ties. Such organizations as the
North Carolina Traffic League,
and many other civic organiza
tions in the middle and western
part of the state have g i g e n
their wholehearted endorsement
to such a program. Leading
manufacturers in piedmont
North Carolina, including such
products as furniture, textiles,
tobacco and many others in
which the state leads the nation
have given assurance that much
of their business will flow
through out ports when port de
velopment make it possible.
“These manufacturers and
! shippers feel that such a pro

SCHOOL LUNCH
PLAN PRAISED
Producing Higher Health
Ratings, State
Contends
RALEIGH, October 19. — The
school lunch program in North
Carolina is producing higher
health ratings and improved
scholarship, says the October
issue of BETTER HEALTH.
Studies conducted by school
administrators in some counties
—Robeson and Catawba are two
of them—seem to prove that hot
lunches are building better
bodies and better minds, ac
cording to Mrs. Anne W. Maley,
director of the school lunch pro
gram.
Thirteen hundred and five
school lunchrooms will be ca
tering to young Tar Heel ap
petites this year. 81 more than
last year, the article explains.
The percentage of schools in
the eastern part of the State
now serving well-rounded noon
time meals to students is com
parable to the percentage in the
western section, where larger
institutions are found. The
lunchbox is rapidly passing out
of the picture, Mrs. Maley be
lieves.
Walter R. Dudley, superin
tendent of schools at Red
Springs, says that the inaugura
tion of planned hot lunches, the
scaling down of prices, and the
maintenance of attractive
lunchrooms have conspired to
raise grades, deportment, phy
sical development, morale and
attendance at his institution.
Actors are believed to have
been called “hams” because they
used ham fat to remove makeup.
a better balanced industrial de
velopment in the state but like
wise will bring many benefits in
freight rates and in other par
ticulars. These sound and suc
cessful business men believe
that the state will get back
many times the cost of such
port developments.
“Likewise the very prospect
of port developments in the near
future has brought numerous in
quiries from concerns seeking
industrial sites for processing
plants.
“We have been talking about
port developments in North
Carolina for generations. The
time for action has now arrived.
The prospect is indeed a chal-1
lenging one. I

The Rev. James B. McQuere,

Community church, with his fam

is occupying as a parsonage, an
apartment in the Merley cottage.
The congregation of that church
feels that this will be a great
help in the progress of the
church. The church and Sunday
school attendance is gaining as
is usual for the winter, and many
social events will be held, and
Bible study as well, it was an
