MAKE PLANS FOR THE 1938 (40TH) ANNUAL MEETING IN NEW ORLEANS MARCH 27-APRIL 2 MODERN NEW ORLEANS New Orleans often is thought of as an Old World mys tery hiding behind a laughing mask, but the modem side of New Orleans is equally as interesting as the old. Canal Street is the dividing line. This 171-foot wide street is America's widest business thoroughfare and, to give it individuality, the sidewalks and neutral ground are paved with marble with deep pink borders. New Orleans' strong economic position can be attributed to its location on the Mississippi River, 107 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, which puts the city in easy reach of the ports of the world. In addition, nowhere else in this country may be found such a complete coordination of the four major transporta tion agencies: trunk-line railroads, inland waterways, coastwise steamship service, and overseas steamship ser vice. Railroad trunk lines entering New Orleans con stitute more than 20% of the class 1 railroad mileage of the country. Barge lines operate from New Orleans to Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Birming ham, Chicago, and to points in Texas. Coastwise-steam ship service is oSered to the Atlantic seaboard, to the Pacific Coast, and to ports on the Gulf of Mexico. The foreign steamship service to and from New Orleans to all parts of the world is more extensive and regular than from any other American port except New York. To handle the tremendous amount of business that clears through the port, New Orleans has erected facilities and river improvements that are valued at 200 million dollars. New Orleans is also an industrial center of the first mag nitude. One of the reasons for this is that practically all of the raw materials needed in many industries are easily available in the surrounding areas, such as oil, sulfur, salt, forest products; or they can be imported through the port. There are more than one thousand manufactur ing plants in and around New Orleans and in a normal year they turn out products valued at nearly 300 million dollars: sugar, bags, alcohol, celotex, petroleum, coffee, etc. In all parts of the city, there are evidences of modern achievements. Shushan Airport, which aviation authori ties declare is one of the finest in the world, is a monument to progress; so is the magnificent Huey P. Long Bridge, the Mississippi River's finest span; and the Bonnet CatTe Spillway, which makes New Orleans immune from river floods. These and many other achievements tell of the progress that New Orleans has made even during depression years. More ambitious plans have been laid for the future to be told in such accomplishments as the repaving of streets, the construction of a new eight million dollar Charity Hos pital, a new federal building, city hall, French Market, and a lake-front development that is going to make that section of New Orleans one of the country's outstanding residential spots. The Personalities of New Orleans Every city has a dominant characteristic that may be found in its industries, its commercial attainments, its historic associations, its cultural achievements, its in tellectual pursuits, or in some other distinguishing feature.
