Number 44 Louisburg Growth, Part 2 Local Radio Station Plays Important Part In Growth Started In 1958; Serving Lo.ui sburg And County Area. Many Out Of County Accounts Add . ? To Local Economy , l Advertising and promotion play a big part In the success of any venture. This Is par ticularly true In the retail sales field. There are two acknow ledged advertising media In the Loulsburg and Franklin County area. These are The Franklin Times newspaper, partially covered In Part I of this se ries, and Radio Station WYRN. Loulsburg's feat of recording a 112.7 percent Increase In re tall sales for the past flve yaar period Is the result of the efforts of all merchants lp the area, but the growth Is an example of what can be done when modern retail methods are used. Modern methods depend heavily on advertising. The Franklin Broadcasting Company was formed here In 1958 by Joe Lane, of Tabor City, and George Peterson of Rocky Mount. Both men had been friends while employed at the WNAO-TV station In Raleigh. v The station went on the air In September, 19S8 and Lane bought out his partner In Oc tober of 1959 and has been sole owner and manager since that time. WYRN (stands for We're Your Radio Neighbor) operates on 500 watts daytime, and Is found at 1480 on the AM dial. It Is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to broadcast from 4 a.m. until sundown dally. According to the latest figures available, the station covers a total population of 562,300 per sons lif" Its primary coverage area and up to 854,300 It r Its secondary coverage. Its broad cast range to the north Is to Chase City, Va., and to the south to Angler, N. C, West ward, the local station's outer range Is to Mebane and east ward, to Tarboro. Primarily, however, WYRN serves the Loulsburg and Franklin County area. Much of the station's Income Is from accounts outside this area, al though the majority of the busi ness Is local'. National accounts come from as far away as New York, Richmond, Washington I and Atlanta buying air time to reach local audiences. Joe Lane, as president of the Loulsburg Jaycees -In 1961, worked with Jack Cos*. , toWn manager at that time, to deter mine whether an association of businessmen was needed or desired In Loulsburg. The two men worked over a year, visit ing other communities and fin ally came up with a steering committee from the various civic clubs In town. The. com mittee formed the present Loulsburg Business Associa tion. - * . The station, like the news paper, has boosted Loulsburg and the Franklin County area, with public service announce ments and special promotional ?vents designed to Increase business In the area. The two advertising media cooperating together have caused local re tailers to become public re lations minded and have helped the community as a whole to sell Its products, Its services an<) Its friendliness. The station Is well equipped, having Installed expensive au tomation equipment last year to upgrade Its programming. At present, It employs si* peo ple on full-time basis, with several other local people par ticipating In Its programs. It also has outside agencies rep resenting It In the advertising field. It Is a member of the Associated Press and has the only wire service in the county for up-to-the-minute national arid regional news. Clay McBrlde, a Wilmington native, Is assistant manager and program director. He Is a member of the ftard of Di rectors of the Business Asso ciation. T. H. Pearce, county sanitation officer and free lance newsman-photographer, Is lo cal news director for the sta tion. Mrs. Mollle Evans Is secretary and continuity di rector. Billy O'Neal and H. C. Lane are the announcers In addition to McBrlde. Mrs. Joe Lane Is also a secretary and frequent helper at the sta tion. In . its plans to capitalize on the news of Louisburg's growth, the Business Association Is relying heavily on the two advertising media for full cov erage. Based on past exper iences, The franklin Times and Radio Station WYRN will do Just this. Later articles In this se ries will deal with tbe various retail businesses which have played a part in Louisburg's growth. Freeman Explains Cotton Legislation On July 17, Agriculture Sec retary Orvllle L. Freeman re leased the Allowing statement on cotton legislation, of In terest to local cotton produc ers.

Committee on Agricul ture and Forestry last Thurs day, and as a result of the approval by the House Agri culture Committee of the Farm BUI, H. R. 9811. It Is essential that the public be fully aware of this Important bill. The major provisions of the House bill are: 1. The cotton la* would oon ttnue the one-price approach that has increased the use of cotton In the United States this year and give cotton farmers greater freedom of choice. 2. The Feed Grain Program which has added $3 billion to farm Income the past four years would be extended, and im proved. 3. An Improved wheat pro gram would boost wheat farm ers' Incomes by $150 million a year while reducing Govern ment costs and providing more freedom In the rfl^ftetlng system. 1 ? 4.

" It Is also a national shrine. As such It attracts .from five to seven. million tourists annual ly. The galleries of the Senate and pouse Chambers provide an opportunity for all who come to see government In action. Yet often unnoticed are Im portant reoms which give vi tality to the heritage that is so much a part of the place. "Two of these are the Old Sen ate and Supreme Court Cham biters. They were last used for law-making In 1859 and 1860. Last week the Senate thought these historic rooms ought to be showplaces for those who come to learn of their coun try's past and future. In a Legislative appropriations bill, It voted $700,000 to restore the Chambers for public view, and thus enable visitors to see the site where Thomas Jeffer son . was twice Inaugurated, where Hayne and Webster de bated, and where John Mar shall rendered fundamental court decisions. The project, which would be completed In I 1966, Is still subject to Senate- I House conference approval. It ! lias much to commend It. I Action on other approprla- i Jons by the Senate have brought I money bills to a mythical half- i way point. In addltlon^to the Legislative appropriation, the I Senate recently cleared bills t 0 finance 27 Independent 1 ifencles, Including the Vet- >i irans Administration and the 1 National Aeronautics and Space e administration, and the farm d irogram. p Initial House action on money neasures has been completed t except on foreign aid and mili tary construction project*. Senate and House conferences, however, usually are required to Iron out differences on the thirteen fund measures. The voting rights bill, which Is likely to be recorded as the most controversial bill of the session, now goes to a Senate-House conference tode termlne Its final forWi. The House bill contains a ben on poll taxes and other provisions unlike the Senate vertlon. The housing (till Illustrates the difficulty of keeping Fed eral programs In propef per spective. T he activities of the Federal Government in the housing field began with the Home Owners Loan Corpora tlon, which was created by an Act of Congress In 1933, and which enabled many hundreds ' of thousands of American fami lies to save their homes from . loss through foreclosure pro ceedings during the depress Ion. The current extension of the housing program under the Ad- . ministration request seeks ap proval of rent subsidies for low and moderate Income fami lies. In my judgment, the es tablishment of the rent sub sidy concept would ultimately lessen the Incentive of the cltl ten to own his own home. Undoubtedly there U need for Hibllc housing; but It should 1 M kept within reasonable 11m t?. This Is so because such lousing puts the government n direct competition with own rs of rental property to the letrlment of the free enter- , rise system. Tin trutff la a great enemy o conversation.
