Editor Recommends County Co-Operation
Asheville, N.C.,
June 16—That closer co-operation between contiguous communities, especially
closer relationship of activities in all the cities and towns of each county,
will yield splendid results in the upbuilding of any section, is the opinion of
R.E. Price, president of the News Publishing Company, Rutherfordton, N.C. In a
ringing editorial recently he said:
“There are many
things which Rutherfordton needs. The main thing we need is closer
co-operation, especially on the part of our wealthier citizens. We are at the
eastern gateway to Lake Lure, in the Land of the Sky, which is attracting
thousands of visitors. Due to our location, we are bound to grow rapidly, if we
will do our part. We have the climate, pure water, pure Anglo-Saxon stock, and
other things necessary for a great and growing community. Nature has been most
liberal with us.
“Rutherfordton
needs more industries. She needs a modern 100-room hotel. She needs to
advertise more than she is doing. She is in great need of a Chamber of Commerce
with a paid secretary to work for the community. Marion and Shelby recently
organized a Chamber of Commerce. Hendersonville, Black Mountain, Hickory and
other nearby towns and cities have live Chambers of Commerce and are getting
good results. Morganton is organizing, and Chimney Rock will soon have one.”
