N.C. Leading Nation
In Effort To Remedy
Defective Highways
State Stands High In 48
k States In Work Be
ing Done
North Carolina is spending more
proportionately than any other state
to overcome her highway deficiencies.
The American Road Builders Asso
ciation has released this information
as part of a nation-wide survey of
highway needs. The survey says
North Carolina has $132 million worth
of deficiencies. It lists State High
way expenditures for the calendar
year as $75 million.
(Actually the State Highway Com
mission is spending a vastly larger
amount than $75 million. During the
fiscal year just ended the Commission
spent a total of sll7 million for all
highway purposes. This includes
funds from the $200,000,000 secondary
road program.)
Ranking behind North Carolina in
meeting road deficienciees are Florida,
Virginia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
Alabama, 'Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana
and Oklahoma.
The survey states that the high
way systems of the various states
won’t meet the demand of 1950’s traf
fic for an average of 16 more years
at the current rate of road construc
tion expenditure.
In commenting on the survey, Dr.
Henry W. Jordan, chairman of the
State Highway Commission, said:
“These figures show that North Caro
lina stands high among the 48 states
in amount of work being done to over
come highway deficiencies. But it al
so shows that we must do even more
to keep pace with the heavy growth
of traffic and the continuing obsoles
cence on our highway systems.”

Anglers sometimes wonder if they
■> should get a tournament-type casting
reel, one with a free spool and no level
wind. That’s a hard question to an
swer, so let’s discuss, pro and con,
the suitability of such a reel for fish
ting.
Pro: This reel, with a light, soft
line will cast very light lures a good
fishing distance. No other reel per
mits such a smooth, effortless casting.
It wears lines much more slowly than
a level-wind. Because of its smooth
ness, the man thoroughly accustomed
to it will rarely backlash.
Con: A man must usually fish a;
great deal to keep in practice for the
delicate thumbing necessary with such j
a “fast” reel. He must learn to spool ■
the line almost automatically, even'
when playing a leaping sish —one brief
hesitation in the spooling and the

line piles against a pillar and jams,
so both fish and plug are lost.
It comes down to the fact that |
everything depends on the individual
and how much he fishes. If you’re
really interested, and can afford the
gamble, buy one of them and try it
out. A stock tournament-type reel is
relatively inexpensive and for fishing
will serve just as well as the costly
custom-made ones. With the reel you
should use an extra-light rod of 6
feet or at least 5% feet.
However, nobody but an experienced
angler has any business considering
such a reel. The average fisherman
had better stick to a good level-wind
and, unless he fishes a lot, use the
anti-backlash device. 'After all, he’s
out for fun, not to learn a sort of
difficult juggling, and that is practi-'
cally what skillful use of a tourna-,
ment-type reel amounts to.
Ministry To Migrants
Ends For Season
The interdenominational ministry to
agriculture migrants has come to a
close with the departure of Austin H.
Armitstead, field representative of the
Home Missions Council of North
America.
Armitstead was in the state, assist
ing the North Carolina Council of
Churches, as Protestant Churches
throughout the state, made plans to
bring a religious, recreational and edu
cational work to some of the 10,000
agricultural migrants who are in the
state, each summer.
Prior to his departure, Armitstead
pointed out some of the developments
or the summer program this year. “A
religious ministry was brought to
camps near Elizabeth City. Definite
plans were made to extend work to the
Hendersonville area for next summer.
Protestant churches throughout the
state will be sharing in the newly
initiated work. Civic groups in many
localities will be assisting in this
work.”
With the initiation of the work in
North Carolina, Armitstead pointed
out that the Church is now carrying
on an active program of service to mi
grants in the twenty-fifth state. He
also pointed out that there is still a
job ahead as the Church is only
touching the surface of this group as
there are 2,500,000 agricultural mi
grants in the country.
Churches in Edenton are cooperating
in this . program. Local churches,
their national boards, their affiliation
with the North Carolina Council of
Churches, and World Day of Prayer
Offerings have helped pay for this
service to migrants in this state and
throughout the country.
