with you and He has allowed you to do these things." Finally this
fellow couldn't quite stand it any longer. He said, "Well, you ought
to have seen how these fields looked before I took a hand and God
had had them all these years."
You think you got a job here that pays you right good wages
and you think it is because you were smart, but it is because of
what somebody did way back yonder that created it and made it
possible. What you are going to do for your children will be what
you and I decide now is good for the next generation. I am firmly
convinced that the next big development in North Carolina is going
to be putting to total use the water resources of this state.
Friends, I have enjoyed being with you, and I hope to see you
again as I move around the state to visit different groups of people.
I join in with Brother Fink. We do have a great state, great
opportunities, and great possibilities if we will coordinate our efforts
with all groups and put our shoulder to the wheel, taking advantage
of the wonderful opportunities and resources that God himself gave
this wonderful country when this earth was created.
If you stop to think about it, it is tremendous, and we are hus-bandmen
of this land. We are given dominion over all creatures.
God will work with us if we work with God. I say that in all humili-ty,
because after all is said and done, there is a Supreme Being over
us, and we are here for only a short while. Shakespeare said all the
world is a great stage and we are but the mere actors. We will play
our little part. We will move off the stage and others will move on;
but in that final destiny of all, how well did we play the part that
was given us to play? (Applause)

Raleigh
September 1, 1951
Governor: Gordon, I wish every person in North Carolina could
hear what you've just told me about the progress of the Consolidated
University. I agree with you 100 per cent when you say that every
farm, every patch of timber, every home, and every square foot of
lTbis informal discussion between Governor Scott and Gordon Gray, president of the Con-solidated
University of North Carolina, was in behalf of the "Nickels for Know-How" program,
pie General Assembly had authorized an election to be held on November 3, at which time the
farmers were to vote on the adoption of the program for a three-year period. The vote was in
favor of the program.
