Parking Problem
Heading the list of agenda
items was parking ordinance en
forcement for Broad Street and
other limited parking areas. A
lengthy discussion followed in
which the majority agreed that
the parking situation on Broad
street was an extremely serious
matter. It was pointed out by
those present that employees of
businesses on Broad Street often
park all day long on the street
where signs clearly denote the
two-hour parking limit. Mer
chants having businesses on
Broad Street expressed deep con
cern over the fact that potential
customers are being deprived of
adequate parking space, especial
ly during the busiest times of the
week, by merchants and em
ployees of Broad Street firms
themselves.
It was agreed that the situa
tion could be improved through
proper enforcement of the park

UH-OH! It’s been marked, the white chalk streak tells this
worried motorist who’s trying to avoid a parking ticket, now that
police have started enforcing the two-hour ordinance in the
business section, after a summer moratorium on handing out
summonses. The Merchants Coimcil has been discussing the
parking problem—Stee story elsewhere. (Pilot photo)
Chairman J. Elvin Jackson and
H. H. Grimm, Moore’s campaign
manager last spring, the candi
date smiled and handshook his
way around the group. Setting
the example for unity with a
warm greeting was M. G. Boy
ette, who served as county chair
man last spring for Richardson
Preyer, and other members of the
'former Preyer following were
also on hand.
"With Judge Moore were Dr.
Bill James, Eighth District Con
gressional candidate, who joined
him at Carthage for the trip to
Troy, Albemarle and Charlotte,
and arriving from Raleigh (via
Pittsboro) with him were Attor
ney General 'Wade Bruton and
several newsmen.
Presented by Chairman Jack-
son, Moore spoke from the steps
on the west side of the court
house, since the courtroom was
in use for the civil term.
When this tour, which opened
Monday, is completed he will
have visited each county in the
State at least three times, he no
ted, adding that “I have been to
Moore County many times, and I
assure you that as your governor
I will return many times, and
work with you on what is best
for the future of your county.”
Recognizing the Republican
threat in November, Moore asked
all-out Democratic support, not
only for himself but for your
“local candidates and Dr.
James.”
“Let’s forget primaries and
personalities and go forward to
gether. It’s not a question now of
Dan Moore, Judge Preyer or Bev
erly Lake but of the people of
North Carolina, and all the things
that concern their future in our
State. That is in the best tradi
tion of our party.”
Recapitulating the State’s
progress of the past 60 years in
education, industrial develop
ment, highways and other facets,
he urged, “We must keep in lead
ership the party which has given
us this progress. This is a great
State with a great future, and
let’s all work for that future.”
Without getting down to spe
cifics of that future, he thanked
those who had come out and cut
the speech short in the interest
of visiting a tobacco warehouse.
’The Victory was the one with
the morning sale, and farmers,
buyers and warehousemen were
surprised a few minutes later
when the familiar figure showed
up in their midst, smiling and
shaking hands all around before
hitting the road again.
