Reports
TO THE PEOPLE
?niuii, u. c.-wnat
ever one may think about the
celebration of Earth Day last
week, It focused our attention
upon one of the most pressing
issues of our times?pollution.
I think we've finally become
awakened to the fact that our
supply of both air and water is
limited. If both air and water
are polluted by whatever means,
what shall we breathe; and what
shall we drink?
Hopefully, we are also be
coming aware of the fact that
the supply of land in America
is not limitless. As the popu
lation grows rapidly and open
spaces between towns fill up
we can now foresee, for ex
ample, one huge metropolis in
the Carollnas stretching from
Raleigh to Greenville, S. C.
and also between other com
munities in Eastern North
Carolina.
We know we must conserve
what we have?air, water, and
land. Otherwise, we will en
danger the health, happiness,
and future well being of not
just generations yet unborn, but
of ourselves in our time. In
deed we must do this if we are
to ensure the continued exist
ence of humanity.
Just one example serves to
illustrate the fact that cleaning
up our environment is not an
overnight job. Six billion tons
of carbon dioxide are being
pumped into the air of the world
each day?365 days a year.
About 53 million tons of this
come from cars in our own
country alone. This cannot
be permitted forever, but it will
take some time to do anything
constructive about it. And there
are countless other critically
serious pollution problems.
As Earth Day was observed,
the American business com
munity took commendable lead
ership in announcing numerous
practical actions of its own to
deal with pollution. This points
up the fact that our free en
terprise system can be equal
to any challenge It may face in
these revolutionary times.
In addition, individual citi
zens across the country joined
in worthwhile local efforts to
express their support for the
anti-pollution drive.
I was happy to read of one
representative effort as re
ported by the Franklin Times.
Mrs. Patricia Farmer of Louis
burg College and a group of
students cleaned up a one-mile
stretch of nearby highway. In
this short distance, they picked
up 2,095 beer cans, 122 bottles,
460 paper cups, 2,920 pieces of
paper and 789 miscellaneous
items.
And this was along just one
mile of highway. Multiply that
by all the thousands of miles
of highway in North Carolina
and in the other 49 states and
you can see the magnitude of
the problem we face.
Let us make no mistake about
it. Pollution is not something
we can blame on faceless big
business or industry. Pollution
comes from human careless
ness. All of us must bear some
responsibility for the filth and
poison which is filling our
rivers, our air, our soil,
our food and even our oceans.
Americai' business and in
dustry cannot lie expected to
pick up the whole tab for its
elimination. The basic neces
sities of life are also depend
ent upon jobs and jobs will not
be available if business and
industry are over-burdened or
penalized to extinction.
Winning the battle against
pollution will take not only time
and effort, but also money?lots
of it. It can be accomplished
only if everyone pitches in with
a will and a determination
to get the job done.
We must also expect more of
our available tax funds to be
directed toward paying for
vitally needed public services,
such as improved sanitary and
sewage disposal systems which
don't pollute our rivers and
streams, and garbage disposal
which doesn't ruin the country
side or break down the cycle
of marine life In the oceans.
The fight against pollutlonof
our total environment is a cause
In which every citizen has an
important stake and in which
he can and must take part.
Our survival depends upon it.
Say you saw it advertised in
The Warren Record.

Female Of The Species
Less Deadly Than Male
ATLANTA-Nobody knows
whether men are better driv
ers than women or vice versa.
But insurance underwriters
know that behind the wheel
women are better auto in
surance risks than men, says
the Insurance Information In
stitute.
During 1968, for example,
59,500 men and 10,500 women
drivers were involved in
fatal accidents. And 19,600,000
men and 6,400,000 women driv
ers were involved in all kinds
of auto accidents ? fatal, non
fatal and property damage,
according to the National Safe
ty Council.
In that year, studies show,
there were 61,500,000 men
drivers and 43,400,000 women
drivers. On the basis of these
figures, coupled with figures
on miles driven,here'showthe
sexes shape up with respect to
accident involvement:
For every million miles
driven, 84 men were involved
in fatal accidents as against
35 women.
In auto accidents of all kinds,
277 men were involved for
every ten million miles driven,
as against 212 women.
These figures Indicate that a
i an U less likely to be
Involved In an auto accident than
a mm and, therefore, women
drivers are regarded as bet
ter auto Insurance risks than
men.
But are women really bet
ter drivers than men?
The National Safety Council
points out that a part of the dif
ference in accident Involve
ment between the sexes appears
related to the time, place
and circumstances of the driv
ing.
While males do nearly 75
per cent of all the driving, this
percentage Increases In rural
areas, where the mileage death
rate Is highest, and It drops
In urban areas, where the
rate is lowest. Also, men drive
more after dark when the mile
age death rate is three times
higher than during the day.
Although the accident rate
(or women Is rising, many ob
servers share the opinion that
women as a class are more
careful and more considerate
of others on the road, and,
therefore, are safer drivers
as a class.

IN WARREN COUNTY
VOTE FOR
CLAUDE T. BOWERS
? for ?
COUNTY
COMMISSIONER
WARREN COUNTY DISTRICT #1
IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY-SATURDAY, MAY 2nd., 1970
Dear Voter:
Those of us who are promoting the candidacy of General Claude T. Bowers for County Com
missioner, feel that Warren County is indeed fortunate in having a man of his ability willing to
serve in this responsible position.
There are some men who seem to have the ability to get things done in whatever field they
enter. As a businessman, General Bowers built up an oil distributing company that serves Warren,
Vance and part of Granville County. Under his management, his company was so well organized
that it ran smoothly while he was away serving his country. As a military man, he served his
country diligently and well, advancing to a top position.
As a citizen interested in the development of his county, he was instrumental,more than any
other person, in obtaining Carolina Sportswear Company for Warren County. He worked untiringly
to help organize Bute Development Company which made financing for Carolina Sportswear Com
pany possible. He spent many hours assisting in the selling of bonds for a water line to the com
pany site. In addition to this, he invested $6,000.00 (Six Thousand Dollars) of his personal funds
in the project with no guarantee of any return. He was among those who convinced the Warren Cou
ty Commissioners that it would be good business to put $20,000.00 (Tweoty Thousand Dollars)
into the water line over a 10-year period. For that same period from 1959 to 1969, Carolina Sports
wear paid in to Warren County in taxes the amount of $40,193.24 (Forty Thousand, One Hundred
ninety three Dollars and Twenty-four Cents), while providing employment for over 250 people with
an average yearly payroll of $800,000.00 (EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS).
We think it is time to have a man on the board of county commissioners who knows from ex
perience that true economy is the wise expend'hirc- of money, a man with the vision to see what
needs to be done to get the county moving forward, and with the ability to get it done.
We trust that you will join with us on Saturday, May 2, in electing Claude T. Bowers to the '
Board of County Commissioners.
