TUREWORD Moore than all the other states in the United States, North Carolina has an overflowing abundance of every good thing. lt is bounded on the west by the Appalachian Nlountaains, whri ch are clustered with cabins in the laurelsg and on the east, by the rolling Atlantic. lt is watered by six major rivers: the Cape Fear, the IRoanolte, the Catawba, the French lBroad, the Yadkln, the Neuse, and various other minor streams. ldietween these rivers stretch wide plains as well as thousands of .acres of farm land. Because of the moisture from the flowing rivers and the fertility of the soil, a great supply of fruits and vegetables is produced. The principal products in the fruit industry are peaches and apples. Among the other crops, corn, cotton, and tobacco are the leading ones. The tall smoke stacks stress the fact, that North Carolina is a manuface turing center. Because of the bountiful forests, enough wood pulp is fur: nished to manufacture the paper used in many places in the world. Since cotton is one of the chief products, great factories are erected to supply nations with cloth, thread, and other necessities made from this plant. The rivers furnish tremendous power. Aside from all the above mentioned advantages another important one is yet to be mentioned. North Carolina is one of the greatest tourist centers in this country. Throughout this boolt you will find .gorgeous scenes enjoyed by the tourists from all over the world. There are summer resorts in our Great Smokies. The calm lakes and blue slties mingled with the solitude of the hills mahe the tourists desire the mountains of Western North Carolina. Also, great crowds gather at the famous beaches located on the eastern coast where the great Atlantic creeps in. The cool breeze from the ocean soothes the heat from the broiling sun, convincing the tourists that this is the ideal spot for a vacation. So, as we are reminded of the variety of North Carolina's minerals, fauna, flora, and climate, we can truly say that North Carolina is 'Nature's Sample Case. lLet's drink the old toast to her: 1HIere's to the land of the long leaf pine, The summer land where the sun doth shine, Where the wealt grow strong, and the strong grow great. 1HIere's to down home, the Old North State.
