Governor Umstead Outlines His Program William B. Umstead of Durham, the new Governor of North Carolina, pre sented a broad and comprehensive program for the consideration of the General Assembly and the people of North Carolina in his inaugural ad dress last Thursday. Speaking at formal ceremonies in Memorial Auditorium, Umstead told the legislators that “this is an hour of great possibilities for you and for me. I have complete confidence in your patriotic devotion to North Caro ** Kna. Ahead of us there are new and unpredictable problems. Let us not be afraid. Let us meet with a courage that is characteristic of our people the uncertainties of a swiftly moving future.” The new chief executive made a number of important recommendations with major emphasis going to public education, roads, highway safety, ag riculture, conservation and develop ment, treatment and care for mental ly ill, labor, prison and paroles chang es, liquir referendum, and taxes. He recommended a 10 per cent sal ary increase for public school teach ers and other state employees, retro active to July 1, 1952, and asked that as much increase in the salaries of teachers be made during the next bi ennium as can be provided within available revenues. The present school construction program is not meeting the needs of a rapidly increasing school popula tion, the Governor asserted, and he asked the General Assembly to sub mit a bond issue to the people for funds “to provide the necessary aid to counties for the construction of school facilities for all our chil dren.” He also called for further reduc tion of the teacher load, the safest school bus transportation possible, im proved vocational training programs, and a new study of requirements for elementary teachers. These require ments have been said to be so rigor ous that they deter young people from seeking to become elementary teach ers, where a serious shortage of train ed personnel now exists. Umstead spotlighted the need for better treatment and care of mental ly ill patients in state institutions, describing the need so urgent that it can be met adequately only by the proceeds of a state bond issue. “We call the institution at Kinston the Caswell Training School,” he said, “ft is and has been a detention home for feebleminded children, who grow into feebleminded men and women, and there they stay through the years. There has never been a place which has even been called a training school for feebleminded children of the Negro race. There is not sufficient room in our institutions for the adults who need attention.” He declared that “we have worked at it in a piece-meal fashion long enough. We must make every effort to cure both children and adults, where such i s within the capacity of medical science, and sufficient medi cal personnel must be provided. These people have no spokesman except those whose hearts have been touched by the condition of those affected by this program.” Here are highlights of other major views and recommendations present ed by Governor Umstead: Roads—A task never finished, the ’ state must continually maintain, im-, prove and build roads. New study! should be made of present road rev enues to determine what, if anything, can be done to increase current rev enues for a long-range primary road building program. Also recommended that number of highway divisions and highway commissioners be increased from 10 to 16. Highway safety—Recommended a common sense, effective mechanical inspection law for all motor vehicles, and a drivers’ training program for every public high school. Agriculture—Continue improvement in agriculture, and endeavor to raise the average per capita income of farm people in North Carolina. 'Urged a broad, coordinated farm program for state, with emphasis on soil' conser vation and agricultural research. Conservation and development— Bring in new industries and encour age expansion of present industries to provide more employment, more per capita income, and more tax rev enues. ’Encourage further develop V HMT; * HEY!

Referendum on liquor—Believes sale ’ of -intoxicating liquor by state is a moral question and should be treated as such. Favors a referendum on ques ' tion for the people. Taxes—'Appropriations appear to . equal revenues, with no provision for • normal increases in existing state ser vices. Does not favor, however, new [ (taxes or increased rates, but suggest ed close study of situation by General' | Assembly. Weekly Devotional I i Column By James Mackenzie ■ * Well over a century ago, Horatius Bonar wrote: “Altering the words of \ Lord, may we not also say, ‘Blessed are they that have seen and yet have not believed’? To see and yet not to believe is one of the things that faith teaches us. We look upon a world full of ungodliness, aftd yet believe not that God has forsaken the earth. We . see the world’s wisdom worshipped, but yet believe not that it is wisdom. We see the power of evil, and yet ; believe not that evil shall triumph. ' We see confusion everywhere, and yet believe not but that order is God’s , law. We see mighty kingdoms ruling, and yet believe not that they shall , abide. We see the saints trodden ! down, but yet believe not in their shame or extinction. We look upon the tomb of the righteous, and yet be | lieve not that he is dead. We see the church’s persecutions and defeats, and I , yet believe not only that she is con querer, but invincible. We see the , march of antichrist, but yet believe not in his progress, save as a progress | to doom. We see the world’s joy, and . yet believe not that it is joy. We . see the saint’s sorrow, and yet believe ( not that he is sorowful. We see night. • thick, deep night around us. but yet J we believe not in the night, but in the ' day. Thus faith triumphs. We be- 1 lieve, we trust, we hope; and, so do- 1 mg, we stand above the world.” Fori “What is faith? It is that which gives substance to our hopes; which convinces us of, things we cannot see”[ (Hebrews 11: 1; translation of R. A. Knox). ' The great Mart’n Luther tells us ;how he once became despondent be- I cause of the wickedness of the world, and the dangers that beset the Chris t'an Church. One day his wife ap peared at the breakfast table dressed in black. When asked the reason, she replied, “Whv haven’t you heard ? God is dead.” Taken aback, Luther re pplied, “Nonsense! How can God die? He is immortal, and will reign tri umphant through all eternity.” “And yet," said his wife quietly, “you go about hopeless and discouraged; a (fl ing as if He were dead.” Then, Luth er tells us, he realized his lack of fa’th, and renewed his trust in God. So we, like the saintly Luther, must learn to trust more in God. Too of ten we are like the old bishop who lay awake one night eating his heart out over the evils of the world. Along about midnight he thought he heard the voice of God say, “You may go to sleep now, bishop. I’ll sit up for tho rest of the night.” Appearances to the contrary, God is still on the throne, and we who are 'Christians are more than conquerors THE OHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N.
