and buying them back at great profit to the processors. By the
development of our own processing plants, we can keep not only
our own money at home, but we will have a pleasing and profit-able
package to sell to the rest of the world.
There is one North Carolina product, however, which if
shipped out of our borders in the raw state and finished and
processed elsewhere will not return to us at all. I refer to the
youth of our farms. If we continue to drive them from their
homeland because it is not attractive, pleasant, and a profitable
place in which to work, our whole aim and purpose in life is de-feated.
I sincerely believe that electricity will do much to make
home life more enjoyable and will give greater prospects of
profit—that our boys and girls, upon comparison with life else-where,
will find the North Carolina farm the finest and best place
to work and live. Your job as managers and directors of rural
distribution cooperatives is more than just one of stringing
miles of line and signing up new members. It is fundamental
to the welfare and prosperity of the state, and I heartily endorse
your efforts. May you reap the reward of work well done and
find lifetime satisfaction in the knowledge that you have made
a great and fundamental contribution to the welfare and happi-ness
of our rural people. To this program I know you are dedi-cated.
Again I commend you and wish you success.
RACE RELATIONS
Address Delivered Before the Eastern Annual Meeting of
the North Carolina Commission on Interracial
Cooperation
Raleigh
March 15, 1947
I am delighted at the opportunity of appearing before this
important group of North Carolina citizens to think together
and discuss together some of the problems that naturally exist
where men and women of different creeds, races, and back-grounds
seek to live together under one principle, one flag, and
one government.
No generation of our North Carolina people has faced greater
opportunities or more solemn responsibilities than those of us
living today in North Carolina and facing the state's future
problems.
