ONE SEASON . . . More than
one county in North Carolina ?
and in Eastern N. C. particularly
? haa wondered out loud why the
Federal Government this year has
seemed to determined to tow the
area in free dollars.
The answer seems to be: votes.
Published reports say that the
Civil Rights Commission, one of
the chief bull whips of the cur
rent administration, is talcing an
unusual look at the lack of Negro
votes in many sections of the
South, including North Carolina.
A survey by the Commission,
say the reports, shows that in 100
counties of the South where
Negroes are in the majority, but
cast relatively few votes, it was
found that this pattern exists:
"The counties were plagued by
one-crop economies and sagging
populations; though Negroes suf
fered more than whites from in
ferior homes, schools and income,
the levels for both races were be
low average."
The Commission said: "Perhaps
the crucial conclusion to be drawn
from the study is that the facts of
economic life have a direct and
significant bearing on civil rights
generally, and' the right to vote in
particular."
So, in the South now ? as it has
been in Europe and Asia for lo,
these many years ? the free dollar
seems to be the way to win friends
and votes. Says the report: "Where
poverty exists, liberty is always in
peril."
The Commission has recommend
ed "agricultural aid to depressed
areas undergoing change. Small
Business Administration loans to
help diversify the economy, assist
ance in training and relocating
farm families who are displaced
? these and other measures can
soften the impact of disturbing
economic changes, and in doing
so promote the kind of economic
climate that encourages better race
relations."
Are you with it? Some counties
will get help ? even if they don't
think they need it.
N. C. DEFENSE . . . Although
no public statements hive been
made about it as yet ? or had not
when we went to press ? the State
is becoming very much concerned
about the safety of its citizens in
the event of nuclear war.
Look for the announcements of
an important meeting to plan hid
ing places for citfzem if the need
arises. Various kinds and certain
types of public buildings could
provide better protection than the
vast majority of our homes.
Since it is a seacoast state, jut
ting out into the Atlantic, and is
the home base of exceedingly im
portant U. S. defense units, North
Carolina would likely be in the
forefront of important air and sea
battles in the event the U. S. is at
tacked.
This State is beginning to step
up its civilian defense efforts ?
now that the citizens at last are
showing a little interest in the
item.
IDENTIFICATION . . . Since
one of Raleigh's most popular
parking lots is just across the
street from City Hall, it comes un
der the sharp eyet of nearby
policemen.
They see all sorts of things,

She laid she bad it on that way
intentionally so she would not

for her car.
END OF THAT . . . Carl Goerch,
according to reports, gave his last
"Carolina Chats" broadcast on
Sunday evening, September 10.
Time ? and television ? marches

THE CHANGING SCENE . . .
This State lost one of its finest
women a few days ago in the death
of Mrs. Tom Bost.
She lacked just a few days liv
ing ten years after her husband's
death at the age of 73 on Septem
ber 18, 1991. His place in Baleigh
newspaperdom has not been filled.
We can still see him, red hair
flying, running full steam ? at the
age of 70 ? across Capital Square.
Dying the same week Tom Bost
passed on wss W. P. Stacy, chief
justice of the State Supreme Court
(for 26 years) alone in his apart
ment where he had lived by him
self for years, in the Carolina Ho
tel. He was only 68, but seemed
both older, and younger; ageless,
really. Mr. Law.
Although he served for 31 years
here on the State Supreme Court,
Judge Stacy never called Raleigh
home. His official residence he
kept at Wilmington. Only two of
the justices serving with him at
the time of his death, Judges E.
B. Denny and J. Wallace Win
borne, are still on the Court.
NOT THIS TIME . . . Malcom
Sfawell, the man Luther Hodges
finally (and too late) put the fing

Governor, will not get the Middle

So said Washington rumor this
past weekend.
Seawell now lives in Chapel Hill
and practices law there and in Ra

get another Federal appointment ?
but the juicy $25,000 per annum
judgeship is expected to go to
somebody else. But Senators Ervin

The damage earned by the fall
webworm has been especially sev
ere this season. A large number of
forest and shade trees are attack
ed by this peat and the Injury
caused is not only unsightly but
seriously interferes with normal
tree growth due to the destruction
of leaves which manufacture food
for the plant
The tent caterpillar is some
times confused With the webworm
but It attacks plants earlier in the
year. Then, top, the tent cater
pillar builds its nest in the crotch
es of limbs and leaves the nest to
feed. On the other hand, the web
worm envelopes its food supply in
the web.
It is too late now to do anything
this season but you should be pre
pared to cope with these pests
next year. Consult your county
agent or vocational agricultural
teacher for control measures or
write the Department of Entomo
logy Extension, N. C. State Col
lege.
Now is a good time to seed your
lawn. We should give priority to
the use of certified seed and good
seed bed preparation. Have your
soil tested and correct soil reac

the kind of lawn you are building

sure to clear away roots, brick and
broken stones, and particles of
mortar. This is especially import
ant when making new lawns.
Remember these basic princi
ples and try to satisfy them as best
you can.
The top 2 or 3 inches of soil
should be your plant food supply
