OD3S-ENDS[ t By ROBERT G, SHEPARD S .* TWO YEARS LONG ENOUC- ' The proposal advanced by a City Council member that the terms nf members of the Raleigh City Council be extended from the present two years to a, terra of tour years does not appear to i have much merit. Raleigh's coun cil members ere not. elected be cause of their experience m city government or anv other type of ' government. They aie elected because the i electorate, thinks they arc wonder 1 workers who know ail nf the an j swers. Tlie fact that the pnv of j these councilmen is a mere pit | lance, a token salary so to speak, ! should be sufficient proof that ! the voters realize they are not . getting a group of experts to sit ; around the council table. A well ! paid and capably-trained city ' manager is hired here to run the j | government of this city, The council members are sup- ; ! posed to be policy makers. Any j j group of citizens composed of j I stable and intelligent persons,, suf- j | , I ficientlv mature and experienced ; | in the bu mess of making a. living, j 1 i ! consecrated to the ideals of Chri- ! | tianity and dedicated to the bet-, • torment of mankind, is cape ole , ' j of doing & good job as the policy - I - j making group for this city Serv- ! ing on the Raleigh City Council ! is mofp a. civic duty than a re -1 sporuubility.

If two years are long enough , for a member of the IT. S.
