"While the Carolina* have the flnoat
scenery, fine climate and fine people,
the tourist areas of the two statea
mum realize that they must offer vis
Itor* and tourists more different forms
P
of recreation if wo are to keep them
in the state* for any length of time
during the season*, summer for North
('arn)tfia and wln'er for South Carolina.
"
This wa* the statement <?f a prominent
North Carolina Commercial
Organization executive following his
,'eturn from a tour of Florida with a
group of North Carolina mayors ami
Chamber of Commerce lead*-!'-*
It b'-ars out the oft-repeated contention
of the Camden and Kershaw
county secretary, who four years ago
offered the same statement.
The North Carolina Chamber executive.
continuing said: "We must follow
the example set by Florida cities
and provide shuffle board court*, mere
tennis courts, community centers and
club houses whore people may gather
for afternoon jjainos or just sit around '
and get acquainted v,ith one another.'
For people who travel like to meet
other people and make hew friends. 1
"We were greatly4 Impressed with
the great amount of attention and
money spent on beautIfW-ation of
streets, yards, buildings, ] Kirks aiul
homes everywhere in Florida and tho
spi* and span appearance of all tho
resort cities and towns. !
"The people of Florida have certainl>
learned that fresh paint, green
grass, beautiful flowers and comfort-1
able home-like places have a powerful!
ippe.il to visitors and vacationists and
make ihvm wuui lo stay longer."
South Carolina resort communities
might well follow the'example of tho
North Carolina group and arrange for
a motorcade or bus party to make a
Florida tour. Literature of the Palmetto
state winter resorts, summer
beaches and the like could l?e distributed
In Florida communities. It would
permit the South Carolina group to
study the methods used by Florida
cities to attract and hold tourists, and
also observe tho many different types
of entertainment provided. Free lectures
ami musical programs, bowling
on the green, shuffle board games, community
forums are but a few of tho
features which go to make the Florida
program effective
