[00:00:19.800] 
These are some friends of mine.

[00:00:21.560] 
John farms and Steve works in the mill,

[00:00:24.360] 
 and honey, you go to school.

[00:00:26.400] 
We all use our roads and I worry about

[00:00:28.960] 
 what'll happen if we don't keep our
 roads up.

[00:00:31.720] 
We'll lose our jobs because business and
 industry

[00:00:34.640] 
 need good roads.

[00:00:36.280] 
We'll lose tourists business.

[00:00:37.840] 
We'll pay more to get our cars fixed.

[00:00:40.080] 
And more people may die in accidents.

[00:00:42.800] 
So please join me, Arthur Smith, in
 working

[00:00:45.440] 
 for good roads now.

[00:00:47.080] 
It'll cost a lot more later.

[00:01:04.000] 
That's a dignified title for my committee,

[00:01:06.400] 
but what I really am is chairman of North
 Carolinians

[00:01:09.680] 
 opposed to highway potholes and broken
 down

[00:01:12.520] 
 pavement where I live and where you
 live.

[00:01:15.520] 
I know folks all across this state who
 farm and

[00:01:18.080] 
 work in factories and offices and go to
 school.

[00:01:21.160] 
Now we've got good roads, but if our
 roads fall apart,

[00:01:24.280] 
 our cars and our jobs and our
 lives fall apart.

[00:01:27.720] 
Join me in working for good roads now.

[00:01:31.200] 
It'll cost a lot more later.

[00:01:48.520] 
[singing] Drive across North Carolina

[00:01:52.680] 
and this is how it'll be. Majestic mountains,

[00:01:53.160] 
 hills, plains, silver sand, and sea.

[00:01:55.920] 
Nature's golden grandeur, 

[00:01:57.520] 
 the land, the Lord has blessed.

[00:01:59.520] 
But if we wait too long, our roads could
 get in a mess.

[00:02:02.880] 
There'll be cracks, potholes, and broken pavement,

[00:02:07.320] 
[?] and shoulders,

[00:02:08.680] 
it wouldn't make sense.

[00:02:10.560] 
A dime in time always saves nine.

[00:02:14.200] 
We gotta get goin' on some maintenance.

[00:02:18.043] 
[music]

[00:02:37.920] 
We've got to get goin' on some maintenance.
