BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT It seems unlikely that an area such as this, with un­ developed resources all about us in every dirction can’t do something constructive in the field of industry pro­ motion. However it takes something more than wishful thinking—and natural resources. It takes confidence in a great future—it takes a lot o f guts, and foresight, but mainly it takes a lot of plain hard work. This meeting is the start of such a program Next 'Tuesday night we will see by those in attendance just who is interested in Brookings! on The recen t furore in certain q u arte rs over the inviting of King Saud of A rabia to meet w ith P res­ ident Eisenhower tends to cause one to w onder ju st how serious people are in th eir efforts to se­ cure w orld peace.
