awakening of the splendid things all of
you as a group are accomplishing for so
many people. Never did I realize you
were doing so much."--Mrs. Jeannette B.
Mills, Charlotte Technical High School.

"Being a relative newcomer to Char-
lotte, I had no idea that there was such
an industry in the community. It was
also thrilling to learn first hand of the
imagination and industry which so evi-
dently characterizes your company.
Thank you for this lifting of my horizon."
--George A. Douglas, Coordinator, Fami
ly Life Education Program.

"I want to thank you and your asso-
ciates for a profitable and most enjoy-
able B-E-M Day. I was indeed fortunate
to be privileged to visit the P & N Rail-
way. Being made aware of the fine rela-
tionships between businesses and schools
is very gratifying."--Miss Betty Cun-
ningham, Central High School.

It goes without saying that the rail-
road was delighted to have an oppor-
tunity to play host to the group and
is sincerely grateful for their kind re-
action to the tour.
