The Fraii'kMn Times LOCAL EDITORIAL COMMENT Acted Wisely The Board of County Commissioners in its decision to make the county home property available to an industrial pros pect, has acted wisely. Apparently this location is about the only one left which might appeal to the officials of the undisclosed firm and meet certain requirements necessary to accomodate the proposed plant. The Board discussed the matter at length here Wednesday night and much was said about the possibility of saving the county some money by removing cer tain buildings from the property in the event the plant chooses to locate here. The Commissioners concern for sav-7 ing the county money is commendable. Certainly, saving money is desired by all citizens.- However, this seems to be a small detail at this time. The major point of concern is that the industry choose to locate here. Details can be worked out later as to the removal of buildings and contents and this is what the Board agreed to do. The Commissioners have once again shown their desire to welcome new in dustry into the area. Local industrial development leaders were obviously pleased by the Wednesday decision. The question now remains, whether or not this site will come up to the ne cessary requirements and if so, will the company officials favor us with their decision. The'^Labor Survey terminating to morrow, has been most successful. The County Commissioners are cooperating. The citizens are anxious to have the new firm here. The decision rests now in the efforts of local development lead ers and ultimately with the company officials. It is hoped they will make the de cision to locate the plant here. We have the labor, the desire and we think, the location. Grateful With the announcement yesterday that the Sarah Graham Kenan Founda tion of Durham has given Louisburg College a grant of $240,000, the local institution has reached another mile^ stone in its long history. There is no way in which to measure the true worth of Louisburg College, in the value/to the community, its service to the state or, for that matter, its worth to the thousands of young people it has helped. ? One can, however, judge somewhat by the amount of support the College receives from those with knowledge of its value. This Foundation, in making such a large grant, is, by this action offering its endorsement to Louisburg College. ' The College is fortunate to have so many friends. And while most of them cannot match this generous gift, their support, too, is valued by the College. The road ahead looks bright for the College. Its leadership and its faculty are into another academic year, its 180th, and this is most certainly a fine way to begin. All of us interested in the future of Louisburg College, will wish to express our appreciation to the Kenan Founda tion for its support. The community, with the College, is grateful. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Others Also Have Gripes Henderson Daily Dispatch' Reports from Bu'ke county, in - the foothills of the Blue Ridge in Western North Carolina, are that the people there also have their crows to pick with the State Highway Commission. ?' So that Vance and Franklin are not the only ones with gripes about con struction and maintenance of their roads. Nearly everywhere It is the same story. Local communities want their highways paved, en larged or otherwise improved. Certainly some can make out a better case than others. And it must be recognized, too, that the Highway Commission cannot pave all roads at the same time. Neither the money nor the labor is available for such a crash program, even iWt were possible of achievement otherwise. Here in Vance we are cla moring for the building of Inter state 85 from Henderson to Neuse river, ten miles north of Durham. We do believe this segment of road should have priority over many others, especially since ninety percent of the cost is pro vided by the Federal government and only ten percent by the State. But we have other problems in Vance. NC 39 from Henderson to Louisburg is an abomination for traffic. That road ought to be straightened and the pavement widened for greater safety. A short stretch from the city limits on Dabney drive to U. SI 158 by pass Is urgently in need of im provement. Other instances could be cited. At the local level, the NC 39 highway and the connection with US 156 out Dabney drive, are about the most urgent. But along with these, and perhaps even ahead of them, is the crying need (or Interstate 85 to be built at the earliest prac ticable time. So that the friends in Burke are not alone in -their needs and desires. Vance rarely ever gets anything in contracts that are awarded from time to time. We, too, feel that we are entitled to a better break than we are getting. Rep. Fountain Introduces Anti-Riot Bill 1 ' ' Washington, D. C. - U. S. Rep. L. H. Fountain, D-N. C., has lntroducad a bill Identical In substance and Intent to the successful anti-riot amend ment which was added to the 1986 ClvU Rights B1U which passed the House. Represent tatlve Fountain's bill would Keep America Intact For Future Generation by Jesse Helms The Congress of the United States In recent years hat suffered In Its mVdat a population explosion of pub licity-seeking, outrageously discour teous young members. The conduct of these young men raises questions as to the degree of public respect to which they may be entitled In their own right? and, worse still, their conduct brings " the entire Congress Into disrepute as a result of their Incessant and Immature babble about the controversial Issues of our time. Bobby Kennedy, as one might ex pect, leads the parade with his brash, unreasonable excursions Into the The Franljin Times Established 1870 Published Tuesdays & Thursdays ?>r flM FuatHe THmi, lac.

His re cant public exchange with Loa An geles Mayor Sam Yorty ended? for tunately? on a note that put Senator Bobby In his place. Mayor Yorty ap peared In Washington, upon request, to discuss with a congressional com mittee the problems he encounters as head of no doubt the most complex city government In the world. Senator Bobby, throughout the hearing, sel dom permitted the Mayor even to complete a sentence. Time after time Kennedy^ interrupted with whining questions and Irrelevant observations which disclosed, more than anything else, Senator Kennedy's own Ig norance. Finally, In desperation, Mayor Yorty candidly advised Sena tor Bobby that Los Angeles had no need of Kennedy's advice? an obser vation that may rank as the under statement of the year. North Carolina's Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Charles F. Carroll, was similarly subjected to bald discourtesy the other day when he appeared before a congressional committee. The least that can be said for Dr. Carroll Is that he Is a thoroughbred gentleman not at all given to making statements that he cannot document, chapter and verse. He has patiently tried for frustra ting months on end to reason with federal bureaucrats; he has, in fact, been cooperative with them to a de gree substantially beyond what many North Carolinians would have wished. Yet [Dr. Carroll was chastised by a young upstart from Indiana, Con gressman John Brademas, who In sultingly referred to Dr. Carroll's testimony as "absurd" and "ridi culous." R was a humiliating spec tacle, not only for the mild-mannered Dr. Carroll but for the state which Df. Carroll was representing as well. ? Dr. Carroll's mission to Washington was to reiterate that North Carolina Intends to abide by laws which It does not like, but to plead with the Congress to take note of the per secution which the schools of North Carolina are suffering at the handa of faceless petty bureaucrats who . L are going far beyond the law In de manding Integration of the public schools of this state. Dr. Carroll was citing a few ex amples when Congressman Bra demas began his excoriation. His comments to? and about--Dr. Car roll bordered on Indignity. Dr. Car roll's report, said the young Con gressman from Indiana, was "absurd and ridiculous." Then Bra demas added, as he glared at Dr. Carroll: ". .. and you know It." Mr. Brademas Is all In favor of Instant Integration. He knows It all, to hear Mm tell It, and anybody who disagrees with him Is not entitled even to a fair hearing. This Is the curious manner In which the "li beral" mind works. It Is worth noting that Indiana Mr. Brademas's state--?iid North Carolina? which Dr. Carroll was re presenting?have about the aame populations according to \he 1840 census. But as one examlrtes the relative compositions of th? popu lations of the two states, It can easily be seen why Mr. Brademas Is jto unconcerned about the problems growing out of federal demands for total and Immediate Integration of the public schools. Less than six per cant of Indiana's population Is Negro, white 29 par cant of North Carolina's citizens ara Negro. And while we are at It, It ought to be mentioned that Hu bert Humphrey's home state of Min nesota has a Negro population of six tenths of one per cent. So It Is easy to see how the Hum phreys and the firademasea can grandstand when It comes to the serious problem of resolving the frustrations resulting from the fed eral controls that have accompanied the so-called federal aid which Wash ington has for so long urged upon the schools of America. And, on the other end of the horn, Bobby Kennedy plays for the fancy of the minority groups which alt In the driver's seat of the political mechanism of the state which sent him to the Senate. It la too bad that man like Charlie Carroll and Sam Yorty must be In sulted by such as these. But there Is something Instructive about It. What we are seeing Is the difference be tween a politician and a statesman. While one Is thinking of the next election, the other la trying to keep America intact for the next genera tion. It Is battle which the fewatates men among us are steadily loali?. YX ' ???& "Loose 6ravel Near Franktaton". LETTERS EDITOR Dear Editor: At the first meeting of the Loulsburg Woman's Club for the year, the members of the club thought that we should support Clint Fuller's efforts for better roads In Franklin County. Being a civic organisation and having members from over the county we know the conditions of the roads and think an effort for better roads Is really needed. We know that our support alone will not give the desired effect but with the assistance of all the civic organisations we would obtain some results. Again we praise Clint Fuller and The.Ftanklln Times. Yours Very Truly, Nell Rose Qupton Corresponding Secretary Loulsburg Woman's Club. 3 Million Mark The Loulsburg tobacco mar ket passed the three million pound mark here Wednesday with averages Just below those of the previous five-day period.

While Congressman Foun tain vigorously opposed and three times spoke against the 1966 Civil Rights Act", which, passed the House, he alsor vigorously supported the antl rlot amendment, feeling that If the legislation Is to pass, tkili amendment Is badly need ed. Representative Fountain said, "Since It appears that the 1966 Civil Rights Act which, regrettably, passed the House, will not pass the Se nate this session, the need for an Independent antl-rlot bill becomes Increasingly plater." He said, "This le gislation Is desperately need ed to cope with those riot leaders who direct riots by means of Interstate facilities, such as the telephone, but who themselves do not actually take part In the riots. Each state should assume Its full responsibility In matters of this Jclnd, but this legislation will give the Investigative au thority needed to cross state lines and bring action against riot leaders In those areas where local political pres sures now seem to prevent Jury List Posted Jury list tor Franklin County Siit>erlor Court' Civil Term beginning September 26, 1966: Dunn?James Luther Ro gers, James Hartsfleld, Glenn Mitchell, C.

Congressman Fountain said further, "Since the amend ment was added to the House bill, riots of a racial nature have occurred In Detroit, Lan sing, Benton Harbor, Muske gon, Michigan; New York; Chi cago; Dayton, Ohio; Atlanta, Georgia; andWashlngton, D.C. In the face of these unpleasant facts of life, this Congress cannot afford to adjourn until It has met one of the most desperate and pressing needs In America today- -the enact ment into law of appropriate a'ntl-rlot legislation which will deal with those anarchists and others who have no respect for law and order and who take lives, destroy property and seek to Justify their actions under the guise of 'civil rights.' " The antl-rlot amendment was adopted In the House by a vote of 388 to 25. Continu ing his comments upon the importance of this legislation, Representative Fountain said, "The overwhelming support which this amendment re ceived In the House Is an In dication finally of widespread recognition of the need for action to return law and order to the streets, highways and cities of this country." Wool Vote Set Friday If you are eligible to vote In the referendum on the wool market-promotion program, your ballot Is due In the ASCS county office. The last date It will count Is Friday, Sep tember 23, 1966, according to E. G. Brewer, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Franklin County Committee. An "eligible" voter Is one who has owned sheep or lambs six months of age or older for at least thirty consecutive days since last January 1. Ballots may be cast --by mall or In person- -at the ASCS county office serving the coun ty where the producer's farm headquarters Is located as soon as they are received. They should reach the office by the close of business on September 23 In order to be counted. The chairman emphasized that the referendum will not affect the wool payment pro gram Itself, which has been extended by law through 1969. The voting will determine whether growers want to con tinue financing wool and lamb market-production activities for the same period through deductions from the wool pay ments they receive. Deductions under the new agreement would be up to one and one-half cents a pound on shorn wool and seven and one half cents a hundred-weight on unshorn lambs, compared with one cent and five cents In the past. The higher deductions, recommended by most of the state and regional sheep or ganizations which are mem bers at AS PC, would be ne cessary to finance AS PCs proposed programs. The earth's atmosphere up to 600 miles has been closely studied by satellites and In strumented rockets.
