Johnny A. Hall, president, pre sided. James Perkinson gave the invocation.

The luncheon meeting was held at the Pinehurst Community church, with President N. L Hodgkins in charge. Subject of the program was “Understanding the Tax Laws”- a title which rendered someone subject to libel, according to Mr. Dana. Stating that “there are 3,000 new changes in the tax laws, and each speaker has been assigned 1,500, to explain in 10 minutes,” Chairman Gilmore turned the program over to the two experts, who tackled their assignments bravely. Discussing some of the changes in estate and gift tax laws, Mr. Dana noted that these had been broadened and liberalized in numerous ways, with definite ad vantages to the average taxpayer. Mr. McPherson took up some of the changes in the income tax field, concluding, however, that “some are so technical it is doubt ful if anyone will be able to un derstand them, especially since the courts are still arguing -over some of the provisions of the original 1913 tax act.” He consid ered, though, that the new laws constitute not merely a revenue- producing measure, but a direct contribution to the sounder econ omy of the nation through con cessions favoring business enter prise.

A first prize of. $10 and second of $5 is being offered for the greatest improvement .of an indiv idual property, said Chairman Hayes. So many ideas were advanced as to the improvement needs that the project emerged toward the end as a long-range progjram, rather than an effort lasting only one month. Three-Year Program The chairman then said that this year’s effort could be pre sented for the “Finer Carolina” prize as the beginning of a pro gram to last as long as three; years. Further progress would then be incorporated in the pro gram for each ensuing year. Publicity is being ^ given the project by “Major” Marshall,, well known disc jockey on Station WEEB.

The questions that were asked, and cooperative spirit evidenced gave assurance of the fact that the need for the work has been well recognized, and the plans being made under the “Finer Carolina” program are sincerely appreciated. While the part being played by the Town of Southern Pines was not minimized, and suggestions were made as to even more that it might do, emphasis was placed on the importance of each resi dent’s doing his share, to the best of his means and ability. It is on this, the chairman said, that the success of the project definitely depends. List Names. Get Slips It was arranged that residents wishing help on painting, clean ing-up and repakuig of his prop erty speak to Mr. Morse or Mr. Saunders so that the Morrison students or Boy Scouts would not miss them. These two men will DEMOCRATS (Continued from Page 1) by John D. Larkins, Jr., chairman of the State Democratic Execu tive Committee, and Rep. C. B. Deane, of Rockingham, the host congressman. Ralph Monger, Lee County party chairman, was the presiding official. Seasoned Warriors Rep. Deane, a candidate to suc ceed himself against RepubUcan opposition, noted that the audi ence contained “fine seasoned warriors, no rocking-chair Demo crats”—the kind that had helped produce swelling party majorities throughout the district during the past decade. Frc-m a congressional and sena torial majority of 4,615 in 1946, an increase to 13,146 was noted in 1950, the last “off-year” election, then up to 22,713 in 1952, year of the presidential election and gen- J eral Republican tide. Deane challenged each county to raise the off-year majority to 18,000 for 1954, adding, “We can do it if we hold fast to the things for which the party stands.” His congressman’s-eye view of Wash ington under the Republicans was one of “fear, confusion and politi cal maneuvering,” resulting in a feeling of national insecurity, he went on. Fighting 'Buzzards' Senator-Nominee W. Kerr Scott, “Squire of Haw River,” was in fine form as he led off the “speak ing program”—with each speech held firmly under five minutes by Chairman Larkins’ energetically signaling fingers. Scott announc ed, “I just want to say I’m con tinuing to fight the Philistines, the buzzards of inequity and the spe cialists in the retardation of the growth of North Carolina.” Edwin Gill, state treasurer, and candidate for reelection, followed Scott in tribute to Rep. Deane, whom he called “ our finest con gressman.” He added, “North Carolina has no more devoted public servant, nor one who tries harder to serve his constituents with fairness and justice.” Theirs were ■ two of many such tributes paid the host congressman during the program. GiU also urged that those who “left the party” in 1952 be wel comed back—“they made a mis take and they know it now.” Insurance Commissioner Char lie F. Gold, added his conunent on the Republicans—“They turned down Judge Parker, they turned down Herbert F. Seawell and they got a Georgia Republican as successor to Edwin Gill (as Col lector of Internal Revenue). The Republican party just hasn’i any use for us here in North Carolina, and we’re fools if we vote the Republican ticket! Let’s welcome aU the errant ones back with open arms.” Party of Confusion U. S. Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr., North Carolina’s junior senator, made no mention of his recent service on the McCarthy censure committee—a highly spotlighted job for a senatorial appointee with service of only a few weeks. The former superior court judge from Morganton described the Republican party as “the party of confusion.” The confusion has spread over into the field of tax es, the atomic energy program, and everywhere else, with two opposing political philosophies in action within one party, uniting in only one thing—special privi lege versus the people’s interest.” Senior U. S. Senator Alton A. Lennon, whom Scott will succeed in Washington in November, said he had two reasons for traveling with the rally caravan—“I want to express my gratitude for the fine expression of friendship and interest I received in the May campaign, and I want to demon strate that, even if a candidate is unsuccessful in the -primary, he can go all out to- help elect an all-Democratic ticket.” Complacency A Danger State YDC President John Y. Jordan of Raleigh, presented by Chairman Larkins,, reported on YDC activities, presented organ ization leaders who- were present and expressed his thought that “complacency is our only dan ger.” Recognized were state officials Wade Bruton, assistant attorney general; Henry Bridges, state auditor; Thad Eure, secretary of state, and Eugene Shaw, commis sioner of revenue; Jonathan Dan iels, Raleigh publisher and former national comnutteeman; Lynn Nisbet and Kidd Brewer, political columnists following the caravan, and several other notables. Following the rally a barbecue supper was served by the Lee County committee at the Lions Club fairgrounds.
