Receiving News Writing Setting Up , ] -i > Proof Reading Headlines Ad Layout Statement By Louisburg Mayor Louis A. Wheless During this National News paper Week, as Mayor of Louis burg and In behalf of all Its citizens I want to take {his op portunity to commend The Franklin Times, now in its 95th year of continuous publi cation, for the responsible, alert and energetic way in which it has contributed to our com munity's growth and develop ment. To be really effective a local newspaper must be inti mately a part of those whom it serves, and this The Franklin Times has been in its long arid distinguished history. It has stood like a mirror before our community in reflecting its strong points and its shortcom ings, its successes and its fail ures, Its past, its present, and its hopes for the future; but it has also done more, for it has always encouraged worthwhile growth and development. In nearly 95 years The Franklin Times has had only four edi tors, Mr. J. A. Thomas, Mr. A. F. Johnson, Mr. Asher F. Johnson, Jr., and now Mr. Clint Fuller, and none of these gen tlemen has ever sacrificed in tegrity as the price for populari ty. As Mayor of Louisburg I take this occasion of National Newspaper Week to p-ay tribute to -The Franklin Times and its trained and skilled personnel for the alert and vital job it has performed in keeping our people well informed.

Democracy's Brightest Hour: The Presidential Elections I By Clint Fuller ran iv It has often been%aldof presi dential elections that after the election is over, the platform of the party Is forgotten. There Is some Indication that this has been true with some elections. However, the only tangible evi dence of what a candidate plans to do should he win the election, is what has been promised by the candidate himself through the party platform. In an effort to be all things to all people, political parties often Indulge in promises de signed to win the election, and this leads to platforms very similar. Writers have referred to this practice as "me too-ism." But, regardless of this, most platforms do offer some choice to the voters. The two major party platforms this year probably differ to a great er extent than has any in the more recent past. The main points in the Demo cratic Platform this year are as (ollows: GOVERNMENT SPENDING: "Federal spending must be ac counted for In economy, effi ciency and Integrity." TAXES: "Further reduction of taxes and removal of In equities In tax laws; wartime federal excise taxes to be re viewed." - ? CIVIL RIGHTS: "The Civil Rights Law of 1964 deserves and requires full observance and effective enforcement. Lawless disregard for the rights of others is wrong and will not be tolerated." MEDICARE: "We will contin ue to fight for Inclusion of hos pital care for older Americans! In the Social Security pro- j gram." EDUCATION; "New methods of financial aid must be ex plored, .Including the channel ing of federally collected reve nues to all levels of education." ECONOMY. "Continue this ; present expansion of the Ameri can economy toward its po tential, without a recession.
