President Speaks Sharing honors with the an nouncement of the award win ner ? a secret until Mr. Ragan opened a sealed envelope hand ed him by the selection com mittee ? was a short address by the president of the North Carolina Junior Chamber of Commerce, Edgar (Red) Gur ganus, of Williamston. Mr. Gurganus used the points of the Jaycee Creed as the basis of his talk. Cabe Is Boss Another Jaycee award, "Boss of the Year", went to H. W. Cabe, of the Bank of Franklin. He was nominated by Bob Car penter. This award is made an nually to the outstanding em ployer of a Jaycee. "Key Man" awards for club activities were made by Jaycee President C. Banks Finger.

Finally, Mr. McGough and | Charles Freeman, of N. C. ! State College, who is accom panying the Pakistanians over the state, got their charges j aboard a school bus for the trip ! to Holly Springs. Because of the steady down pour, scheduled stops at farms ind points of interest were not j nade, but these many features were pointed out and explained ;hrough the fogged windows of \ ;he bus. The Pakistanians asked hun- j ireds of questions and jotted lown a steady stream of notes. At the Holly Springs Com munity Center, the visitors real ly got to the core of commun ty development work in a ?ound-table discussion with cit zens and agricultural workers. The flow of questions and an swers continued for more than in hour. Taking part in this unique exchange of ideas were Ibrahim Shamim, Mrs. Homi Homji, Asaddar Ali, Homi Homji (und sr secretary of economic affairs for Pakistan), Miss Akhtar Mohyduddin, Akbar Khan, Bar {atullah Khan, Walter Taylor, Mrs. Don Seagle, Mr. and Mrs. 5. W. Winkelblack, Miss Callie Deal, Mrs. Robert Corbin, and Mrs. Paul Ammons. The Pakistanians' questions ranged from points of commun ity organization to what they :onsidered the perplexing prob lem of getting everyone to work together. (For example, after Mr. Tayl or had explained that projects ind other community decisions were reached by majority vote, Mr. Homji asked, ". . . but what of those who do not favor (a project) ... do they not work?") County Agent T. H. Fagg and ] Mrs. Florence S. Sherrill, home agent, officially welcomed the group on its arrival at East Franklin. No. 4 But the driver of the Buick had other ideas. With the patrol car closing in, he turned off the main highway into the Roller Mill Road, raced up the dirt road through the colored section, and into US 64, near Chapel School. From here the speeding auto mobile rolled into Franklin, turned up Maple, into West Main, and up Bidwell to NC 28.

Later, the officers returned to the scene of the jar unload ing sequence and found eight lids and broken glass. In his eight years on the pa trol, Patrolman Ferguson said he had never seen a "crazier driver" than Ensley, "He was passing other cars in curves and over hills ... we expected to see him meet some one headon at any minute," the officer declared. Mrs. Ensley was released on $400 bond Monday night, charg ed with aiding and abetting transporting whiskey. Her husband is still in the county jail under $800 bond. He is facing trial for speeding and reckless driving, transport ing whiskey, improper equip ment, and no valid operator's license.

The annual drive was extend ed last week to the 15th by J. Horner Stockton, chapter chair man, in disclosing that the county needs an estimated $7, 000 in donations this year to repay money borrowed for treatment of polio patients in i past years. This figure would cover Ma con's quota in the current cam paign and settle the patient debt with the Nantional Foun dation for infantile Paralysis, he explained. ?Contributions reported by Mr. Carpenter this week include $59.60 from the fifth Sunday sing; $103 raised by the Rotary Club at benefit Bingo; and $142.66 made by Cowee School and coimmunity at a box sup per.

VALENTINE'S SALE C A Valentine's Day bake sale jg will be sponsored Saturday, be- c ginning at 9 a. m? at Angel's a Drug Store by the Franklin c Junior W(ftnan's Club, It has i been announced. No. 3 " this comes from school stores and benefits. The principals figure they an nually spend an additional $29, 000 in the 11 schools on capital expenditures ? principally equip ment, he added. Both requests are now being carried out, according to Supt. Holland McSwain, and will be ready within a week or so. Why Shortage? Why the schools are experi encing a shortage of equipment is being studied under the plan. Mr. Gnuse said it has been de cided the shortage stems most ly from the recent school build ing program. The bond money built only bare rooms and "we are now having to scrape the bottom of the barrel to equip them", he noted. It is the suggestion of the P. T. A.'s that any future build ing programs earmarked money to equip the additions, as well as build them, Mr. Gnuse de clared. As example of this is the new Franklin gymnasium. The school board is having to borrow from capital outlay funds this year to equip the building, cutting the amount that can be used elsewhere, he said. "We'll never catch up on past needs if current expenditures won't carry the load," Mr. Gnuse explained. "Enough mo ney to completely build and equip additions should be in cluded in any future bond pro grams." ?P. T. A.'s represented at the meeting with the school board included Franklin, Cullasaja, Iotla, Cowee, and Otto. Mr. Gnuse said this group is seeking county-wide endorse ment of its plan. Continued From Editorial Page VIEWS ? By BOB SLOAN has from six to seven hundred dollars, was defeated. This year, the clamor is that the budget must be - balanced so we cannot make any cuts in taxes. If it isn't done this year, the Republican party will not be able to do once in four years what the Democrats with Har ry Truman did three out of seven years. , Since industry profits, even after taxes, are surpassing all previousVecords in many cases, I suggest that the tax favors that were granted them be dropped and the basic exemp tion for each dependent be raised from $600 to $800. Any me knows that a person cant iubsi?t for the amount you :ould when the $600 figure was ?t up, and It appears that In lustry is well able to pay some nore tax.
