Keep McConnell Plan Alive (Goldsboro News Argus) When big, penetrating Dive McConnell of Charlotte wis running for nomination for lieutenant governor he got real interest in a plan to help the small, poor, sparsely popu lated counties of North Carolina. It became knows as the McConnell plan. One of the good features of that plan is that it ia worth keeping alive and offering in the forthcomingGenaral Assem bly, By that we mean that the plan was not merely a cam paign gimmick dreamed up to get votes. Briefly put, the idea is this. Enact enabling legislation which will authorize smaller counties in a region where they are grouped to join legally in organizing development districts. We have counties which have only a few thousand inhabitants. They are the very ones where living level is lowered by average per capita incomes well below the state level which i* well below that of the national rank. These submarginal areas lack industry, they generally have a surplus of labor, and largely they lack agricultural balance, variety or scope required for today's succeasful farming. These are the counties which can benefit most from 'a continuing, efficiently conceived and directed planning pro gram. These counties have excellent processing opportunities; they have better than average soil, climate and raw materials. If a law can be paased, as favored by the McConnell plan, to unite such counties in a co-operative developmentdistrict, a start toward progress has been made. Districts would be authorized upon approval of the people in a vote to levy a special tax for development purposes. The McConnell plan spelled out a formula for population and valuation which would determine the particular levy for each county in a given district. These economic problems number 1 for North Carolina lie in coastal areas and in the mountain areas in general. Some of Ahoakie's hard headed business men, looking around them for a way up for their neighbors, studied the plan and roundly endorsed it. It had to be more than a pipe dream to get their aupport. We hope this group will keep their representatives and senators alerted to this idea and that big Dave McConnell will help put his plan into effect. Ole Man Murphy Says . . .

Adv. - Words of Life '* By Fred Stiles, Poorer Nod* Baptist Church Text: Poolms 32:1-2 "HOW TO BECOME MORE BUUSED OF OURLORDAND SAVIOR." As David more and mere rendered greater service ? the Lord, the more did ho rea lise the greatness of the blessings of the Lord, though he had more criticisms, dif ficulties, and trials. This is evident, also in this period in which we are living; Yet, David relied on and trusted in the Lord more and mere. Since we have been saved by the grace of our Lord, he is depending upon that true 1 and faithful service in a woy ' thot there will not be neglect ? ond drifting beck into sinful ' activities in the woyof ouffer > ing the looo of the blessings thot he has In store for his servants. Also, more ond more ore the difficulties and trials of life in evidence to come in the years that go by in failure to trust and seek the Lord in a way that it may lead others to seek and know the Lord. vj i ciicr aiiu grciicr ? I c the fellowship and blessings of the Lord as we move into * greater and nobler service. Bui to more and more neglect this service leads many to say the Lord does not bless them in the many ways he state*. He urge* the servants to seek Him in their trans gressions and iniquity, by acknowledgement of their sins, for which the forgive ness and the blessings of the Lord is granted. Through prayer and faithful service to the Lord will they recognize the blessings of the Lord which is stated over and over through the book of Psalms. Blessings are granted through forgiveness of trans gression and when sin is covered, as we move onward through the years of life, more should the activities of life be so active under the leadership of the Lord, that it should' count for the guidance and direction of those that we come in contact with rather than living the sinful life in such a way that it may lead others in the wrong direc tion of life. In this action, their souls can be so neg lected, as to 1 inder them from being saved. A great respon sibility rests upon the lives of those living in this world of sin and sorrow. How good to consider the great service rendered by David under the difficulties and trials of those that en deavored to hinder him. More and more as David moved into a greater and nobler service wherein he urged the Lord to let those be ashamed and confounded that sought after his soul, and let them be turned back ward and to put .to confusion that desired his hurt. Therefore, as we move on ward toward the end of life's journey, do we realize that when we join in that glory land out yonder how it will be to visualize the great gifts and blessings reward ed David. When we've been there ten thousand years, brightshining as the sun; we've no less days to sing Cod's praise than when we first began. R oilman Invites Roy Taylor To Open Forum* WAYNESVILLE - GOP can didate Heinz Rollman has in vited Rep. Roy A. Taylor to meet with Hm at open forums in each of the 10 counties in the 12th Congressional Dis trict.
