Fountain (Continued from Page 1) society u fully -as completely -as any person in this Chamber." She believes this it the only way for people to "live on our little corner of this planet." But Mrs. Green has "serious ques tions about a society that places the major responsibility for our social ills on one institution of our society." In her speech before the members of the House, she expressed the opinion that cutting off funds, often to the ones who need It most, is not the way to enforce civil rights. She referred to a situation in Mississippi where funds were cut off resulting in 80 Negro teachers losing their jobs. "Who is being helped? Who is being hurt? How has the cutoff affected the quality of educational opportunity?" She said. "We are trying as a society to cross the racial barrier and the class barrier all at the same time. . . creating greater problems, greater disruption," she con tinued. And then Mrs. Green went on to tell the true experience of a Catholic family, close friends of hers, who came to Wa4iington, committed to a public school system, to an integrated so ciety, to all Civil Rights laws, who moved into an integrated neighbor hood and placed their three daughters in a school where eventually, because of busing across town, one of their three daughters was about to become "the only white child in an ill black classroom." The Camily, facing the problem asked: "Is it my responsi bility to provide the best education I can for my daughter, or is my respon sibility to maintain my commitment to an integrated class?" According to Mrs. Green, they decided "as hundreds of thousands of parents across this land are deciding, 'My first responsi bility is to provide the best education I can for my own child.'" Consequently, according to Mrs. Green, "They took all three of their children out of the public schools where the oldest daugh ter had encountered major problems and threats iOf physical safety, "sold their home, moved to Maryland and placed their daughters in private schools. This same family now expresses serious question as to whether or not they will support tax levies and bond - issues for a public school system. In this connection, Mrs. Green pointed out that in her home State of Oregon, 126 tax levies have been defeated this year -an all-time high. This may well happen all over America. As more and more people become dissatisfied and if both Federal Courts and Federal bureaucrats refuse to face the problem with wisdom and under standing they are going to refuse to support the public schools. In Mis. Green's own words, if this process continues, "what will we be accom plishing in terms of improving educa tion?" In our area, we must fight to preserve our public school system. Too many of our children cannot afford to attend private schools." Franklin (Continued from Page 1) he said. Fairdoth said he feels there has been "too much stress in the past on division boundaries and not enough emphasis on the total needs of a road along its entire length." "YouH go into some of the old divisions and a road will be in good shape," he declared. "Go down the road a little way into another division and you cant believe it's the same road, it's in such sorry shape." "We are hopeful that by assigning commissioners to areas, rather than limiting them to the artificial barriers of the old divisions, we can do better in meeting road needs as a whole."

Coach Tommy Twitty haa issued a call for candi dates to report at 7:30 P.M. Friday. It is a bit early to get a complete picture of this year's squad but some things can be reasonably predicted based on last year's team. Nine players were lost to graduation, four of which were starters and several others were important spokes in last year's wheel. Heading the list of gones-but-not-for gotten is Thomas Pinch. His abaense will be felt perhaps more than any Other although Finch was never at full strength following a knee in jury in the second game of the season. His contribution to the squad is difficult to measure and it will take time to see how his loss win affect this year's squad. Also graduated were Tommy Wrenn and Bill Tay lor from the line and Phillip Robertson and Norris Cooley from the backfield. Robert son is the 9th in all-time scorers for the Bulldogs. Cooley electrified the Bulldog fans with a 77-yard TD run agminst Elm City last year. It was the fifth longest TD run in Bulldog history. Others lost to graduation Include Gene Wilson, Steve Daniels, Mike Perry and Law rence Perry, all of whom saw action last year. Also lost by transfer is Kirk House. Fourteen lettermen are re turning, led by four All Con ference players. These are juniors, Johnny Pernell and Edward "Boo- Boo" Pergerson in the line and senior Neill McDonald at fullback and sophomore Larry Fuller at quarterback. McDonald is the 13th in all time scoring for the Bull dog and Fuller is tied with Jimmy Geddie as top TD pan*. Each have four touch down tosses. He is second to Frank Freeman in points after touchdown with three. Freeman's record of four was set in 19S9. Joining these four are All Conference honorable men tions Steve Perdue and John Kornegay. Perdue la a junior and Kornegay is a senior. Abo expected back are Dan Hayes, Larry Romero, Steve Roberson, Bobby Ful ler, Robby McDonald, Jimmy Wrenn, Charlie Hobgood, all Boomerang! "Did you give your wife that lecture on economy you talked about?" "Yea." "Any results?" "Fve got to give up sinok b?g" of whom were either starters or saw considerable action last season. This could be the year that the "Pups" come alive. Mem bers of the winn ingest team in Louisburg history are sop homores this year and will be expected to bolster the Bull dog squad. The "Pupa" are remembered from the 1967 season when as junior high schoolers, they had an unde feated season, falling in the final moments of a Booster Bowl game at Oxford.

Of the "Pup" squad, only quarterback Larry Fuller and halfback Phillip Redmond and Mike Leonard, a lines man, saw much action as freshmen last year. It could be different this season. Among those who were "Pups" to be counted on this year are: Will Wilder, Freddie Finch, Bobby Ganrett, Jack Versteeg and Jerry Holmes. Some of these played last year as reserves. It has been reported that Mike Dement, also a Pup back field man is not expected to play football. He will concentrate on his basketball game, it's been said. Rounding out the re turnees from last year are William Ihrie, Carey Wrenn and Eddie Edgerton. A trans fer student. Randy Seidell is expected to report Friday. He reportedly is a back field man.

TACKLE BOXES A well stocked and well kept tackle box is every bit as im portant to the angler as a nicely-appointed home is to his wife Both keep the indi vidual happy and more suc cessful in doing what they set out to do. A good tackle box is the ang ler'H suitcase, say the fishing authorities at Mercury out boards, and although he will replace small items from time to time there are essentials that he will need wherever he is fishing. A well-stocked box will car ry many items other than plugs and extra hooks. It should have a place for a pair of sunglasses, a real eye-saver on days when the sun is glint, ing off the water.

Also an un-* breakable container of mos quito repellent can be inval uable when the little pesky ones get rough. Another small item that we hope never to use but still car ry for insurance is a snake bite kit. A bite from a poison, ous snake is almost as rare as elephantiasis, but it pays to be prepared. A small pocket compass is an item that will take up little space in the tackle box, but can be a life saver when it is needed If possible get one with a lid on it, the lid will protect the compass cover and dial from injury. Must anglers include a pair of long-nosed pliers in their box. as Itandy as a pocket in a shirt when it comes to getting a hook out of a lish's mouth. Choose a pair with side cut ters on them, so if the occas ion arises you could cut off a hook, were one imbedded in someone's epidermis. A light plastic raincoat will fit in most boxes, and can save a day ruined by rain. Oh, yes, carry some lures, too. You just might get to do some fishing.
