' ' . . ; , . ?i! V ; x - Editorial And Opinion The Strength Of The Plan '■ ' • - * -To . . • ’ North Carolina, regarded as the most liberal of the Southern non border states in its racial att itud(is,has now seen its “moderate" approach to the school problem easily .fas-the. first and major hurdle—the Legislature. Next step: The referendum. Briefly,, the Pearsall plan doesn t close the door lor a community which dec ides to move coward racijdly integrated schools, but it permits a community, bv populpi referendum, to close, its public schools and the state will provide tuition grants for students to attend private schools. North Carolina is made ttp of a complexity of soc ial or ders. and the package isn’t wliat everyone prefers. Ample evidence ol this lias tinned up ttCmoiuhs of discussion. But • thatt the voterS'will a'ceedy. to the necessary cotistitutional ainendments in an election on Sept. 8 is generally expected. The basic idea behind the Peat sal 1-Hodges program, is one 'winch has been before the South for sonic time. Other southern "states have been watching the North Carolina ma ^neuvers closelv, feeliiig that they'could tvllotcl a solution to a region s social dilemma: dice only "quest ton "'asked, usually, has been whetlyp it could pass the courts. No one'-knows.,The concept of this whole approach to the problem Th the . South relies* on a statement made by judge John J. Parker ol the CircuitCourt ol Appeals during —3~ ht*:nlrig ou~theClaretKl<Ht~C*Hiu t y . -Soit 111 (.arolilia, sc hool— c tsh something* over* a year ago: "Wliat it (the Supreme .Court) has decided, and all that i; has'decided, is that a state may not deny to am person on ... count ol rac e the right to attend any school that it maintains. - “This, undei the decision of the Supreme Court, tlu: state mas do-direetjv qt indirectly; but. it the schools which it tiuintains aic open to child: en ol all.-rac.es, tio. violation ol the Constitution is involved, even it the children of dilleient races Voluntarily attend dilleient schools as they attend dif ferent ch.urches. ... * ‘ The court, in other words, does not require integra tion. It merely forbids discrimination. It does not forbid such segregation as occurs as the result of voluntary action. Therein, we feel, lies the strength of the Pearsall plan and the reason we favor its adoption by the people on Se|c tembei 8. Capitol Hill Bows To Mt. Sinai On the eve of adjournment, the House and Senate passed a joint resolution endorsing Hhe Ten Commandments. The text is as follows: * “Whereas the-World today is divided by conflicting 'ideologies which cause people to live in constant fear ol tmihilaiion ot^cnslaveme^t. and Whereas a t'born to the precepts as expressed in the wards his fellow man ha’. been cast aside throughout so much of the world tod. v. . ad "U iic.uv a return to the precepts as expressed in the Ten C 'or.v.nandments never was move vital to survival and i mimied civilization than today: and ■ \\c believe, the Ten Commandments, as the primary ^ moral lone behind the three great religions of today— - Christianity.

Typical of the GOP politicos' approach to the problem of soothing the nation's fears is that of Maryland's Governor.. McKeldin. He appeared at the White House the other day with a prepared-in-advance press hand-out hi which tie stated the President “looks good". He jauntily explained to re porters thru he had the statement prepared because "I thought he would look good". After visiting President Fisenhower, Ire amended the advance observation. "He looks remark ably good." said McKeldin. ®be J5eto$ of (Grange Count? Published Every Thursday By THE NEWS. INCORPORATED Hillsboro and Chapel Hill. N. C. ' EDWIN j.

He was a pioneer in many ways. I recall that one time a few, months before his deatlrhe told a friend of ours of his early days with pa •Icuriaed milk. He knew it was the thing — since the boil ing' process killed the germs which so often j.varmed in the ravy product. * - : - But the customers of Pine State wanted their milk "just like it comes from the cow.” They re fused at first to have anything to do with that "blamed cooked milk” Nevertheless. Pr. Kilgore kept cooking. Now we know that relatively little raw milk L‘ sold any more. -- -T-'•—-~3-- ;"1 KEEP ... I don't know wheth-' or this happened while they lived in Wilmington, but it’s a good Woodrow Wilson story we heard thn other day. As you know, Wilson’s father was a minister. He was tall and very thin. He often took young Woodrow with him on parish calls, which were made in a horse drawn buggy. One day on one of these calls a parishfon’er asked: "Reverend, how is it that you're sc thin and gaunt while your horse i • so fat and sleek?” Before his father could reply, young Woodrow burst forth with: ‘Probably because mv father feeds the horse and the congrega tion feeds my father.” DOWN WITH STASSEN! . . . Until a month ago, most of the good Pemocrats in Nofth Caro lina pul Presidential Aide Harold Stassen up near the top in the Republican heirarehy. Now, they say, they are down on him for his attack on Vice President Rick Nixon. It’s not that they likp> Nixon. They don’t. They* don’t, believe- me. period. But they do feel that their one-chance of stopping the admittedly popu lar President Eisenhower i to have Nixon on the ticket with him. They say, privately of course, that Eisenhower-Nixon will be tough. But if it should be Eisen hower-Herter. the pickin’s would -be-slrm indeed. - : : - Had it not been for meddle some Stassen, they insist, Nixon would have been a shoo-in. Now they are not so sure. • _ NOTES . . Governor Hodges will leave, for the Pemocratic Na "■ttOiMrkCenvepti'on on Friday . . Attorney General William B.

Hide And Go Bang! * Walt Partymiller in York Gazette & Daily SENATOR SAM ERVIN • SAYS * _ 1 From the number of bills pass ed, the 84th Congress set a new record. Busy Two Yoars There' were 2,878 bills enacted by the 84th Congress in a busy two yearj. These measures tfere sent to the White House for ap proval or veto. Congress was in session for a total of 224 days to grind put thi.’ legislation. The record of "Congress is al ways a necessary part of the pol itical hustings. This year promL-as to be no different. For the next two or three weeks T want to discuss briefly parts of this record. National Dafensa A • I am a member of the Sen ate Armed Services Committee. I want to begin the discussion with thir aspect of thP record. There was the extended investigation # the air power o." our country, car ried on by the Symington Sub committee of which I was a mem ber. Thi • resulted in focusing at tention on the lagging dcvelop -ment of air power. Subsequently, the Congress increased appropri ations for air power by nearly a billion dollars. . Congress wa* alert to the need for adequate defence! It provided more funds than the Administra tion requested. On this score it is very diilicuit to determine exact ly what constitutes adequate na tional defense. My theory -h? that it is better to have a little more defense than not to have enough. This point of view is substantiat ed by testimony from experts who "ay that our forces must be in being as nuclear warfare will not permit time for a gradual build-up. Here is one of the knot ty problems of our time. Appropriations Congress cut President Eisen hower's request..- for money by about $2 billion. Breaking down the appropriations by sessions, the first session’s figure was $52.2 billion, and the. second session's amount was $59.8. Of this amount $66.5 billion wa • for national de fense. The $59.8 billion this ses sion does not include the new highway program, a long-range program designed to meet the present and growing demands by our country A fertile field await.?* a legislator who is dedicated to economy in government. With this thought in mind I voted against a number of programs designed to obligate the government to in creased spending. - As I - ated last week, consider ing all features of the 84th Con . gross, I am, of the opinion that it made a good record. Washington Report By BILL WHITLEY INSURANCE. The government' "•nwwftertRf Insurance jHmgrani enacted into law on the fina djiy of the '84th Congress, pro vides ways and means for yot to insure any personal or rea property against water damage from htirricanes and-.other nat ural disasters. - ' \ The law provides for govern ment insurance up to $10,000 per 1 dwelling unit, and a maximum of $250,000 for any one person, which would include business property and the like "" The insurance covers damage from water of all types, but it will not cover damage, from wind. The coverage was confined to water damage because private insurance companies now pro vide wind insurance. ~ $en, W- Kerr Scott, a co author of the original ^version of the disaster insurance bill, said the new law would cover "most of the damage" that is caused by hurricanes. He said a large per centage of the damage of last year's hurricanes was water dam age. • PROVISIONS Details of how the program will work has been left to the Housing and Home Finance Agency, which will co operate with private insurance firms in setting the new program in motion. “This is an entirely new pro gram—something that hasn’t been tried before." Scott said, “but there is no reason why 'it won't be of tremendous benefit to North Carolina, especially the coastal areas, if it is administer-' ed properly.” Congress directed the HHFA to work out a system of prem iums that would come as hear as possible’ paying for the program, but at tilie same time would be reasonable enough for the aver age property owner to.afford. -One- reason private inssrance companies have shunned dis aster insurance is because they feel that in order to make it break even, premiums would be too higb.Ja ehcour!age!ilie sale of .policies! 1 ... ■ .ADVERTISE-. - Scott feels that the .success of the new program will depend to a large extent on how generally property owners take part in it. — "*It’s the kind of thing that will take a lot of advertising and promoting to make It work. Cer tainly. the people in the hurri cane areas will want «it if they know about it. At the same time, people in all our river basins would certainly be interested in it if they are advised of its im portance and potential." he said. Until the program gets on its feet, the government will pay the entire difference between what is collected in premiums and what is paid out in losses. After 1§5R, the various states are scheduled to start paying their share of the cost of the program. ttMMMOT LUXURY (C. A. Reach, Chatham Maws) I’m getting a mite fed up with ithose who contend that hard work is the one sure way to hap piness. As far as I’m concerned the contention is a snare and a delusion. I believe that work is the worst possible way to make a living and that most of us work because we have to in order to keep body and soul together. Tm lazy and good-for-nothing; If I could live without working I doubt that I would bother to try. I di^h t mind saying that I’m not sure' about wearing shoes. One of the greatest luxuries known to man, it seems to me, is to he able to go base-footed. Garden Time - Robert Schmidt Insects and plant* diseases are among the biggest problems, in the garden at this time of the year. It means constant spraying with many different chemical ma terials in order to get success ful control of the various pests. Of course there are many com bination spray materials on the market that will control a va riety of pests but these are rather expensive. Still, for small' gardens they can be recommend ed because it simplifies the prob lem of what to use for each in dividual pest a$ it appears. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could feed some chemical to a plant which would kill any insect that fed on that plant? Well, we do have such materials-^-for exam ple: “Systox” and sodium selen ate. They are called systemic poisons. These are being suc cessfully used to some extent on greenhouse and outdoor orna mental planti. But they must not be used on vegetable plants or on soils in which vegetables will be grown in the near future be cause they are also very poison ous to human beings as well as to insects. , In the vegetable garden now is the time to. practice sanitation, a thorough clean up Of all plants v/hich have matured their crops and are through for the season— for example: beans, melons,' cu cumbers. summer squash and others. If these old plants are al-. lowyed to. remain they win carry over many insect-pests and dis eases into next season. They may be plowed under or compMed with a little manure and soil. This will take cafe of the pests. and at the same time supply much needed organic matter for The -ffafdeTT.'- dust- because plants" are through producing for the season it is a mistake to let them remain to become a breeding place for insects and diseases which will give-you trouble next year. , „ JTar^Heel ^ people & issues By Cliff Blue YDC . • Henry Hall Wilson, State YDC President has perform ed a fine service in bringing to North Carolina three of the can didates for the Democratic presi dential nomination — Kefauver, who is now out of the running Governor Harriman who is very much in the running, and A. B. (Happy) Chandler who faf trying mighty hard to get into the run ning. Even though North C3roliB&. - may have little in common, politi cally speaking, with anyone of the three candidates, it’s a good thing to bring them here so the people and particularly the dele gates who are going to the Chica go convention can look them over and size them up'. And sometimes the unexpected happens at nation al conventions. All fivc of the leading candi dates for the Democratic pru dential nomination have been, in North Carolina this year. Senator ' Symington wa.- the guest speakfcf at the Jefferson-Jackson Day Din ner in Raleigh in February, and Adlai Stevenson visited in the Sandhills and met party leaders and the people alike for two or three days. In the past, North Carolina may have been taken for granted ’in’some of the general elections but-Miss Tar Heelia has been wooed in the fight for the nomination. HARRIMAI^S LEADERS . . . It . hould. not have surprised any one too .much when the announce ment was made that Sam J. Bur row of Asheboro had been named one of the two campaign directors for Governor Harriman in North Carolina. At the recent YDC rally in Asheboro, attended by Gover nor Harriman, Burrow was quite peeved with Governor Hodges be cause the Tar Heel governor snubbed Harriman and the rally by declining to attend. KEFAUVER'S WITHDRAWAL . “ . Estes Kefauver's withdrawal from the presidential race is ex pected to have but little effect on the Tar Heel vqte at the Chica go contention. Steven.-in is ex pected to have better than 80% of the Tar Heel votes on the first ballot. Kefauver’s support in North Carolina had been almost negligible from the beginning among the party leaders so his withdrawal will release but very little delegate strength to go else where. Terry Sanford, a member of the state-wide Stevenson-for President Committee, is reported to have said that if Stevenson falters, he will throw his support behind Harriman. Statements of this kind, coming from supposedly •’ rung Stevenson leaders- is not” regarded as the best kind of sup port for their candidates. How ever. the great mapority of the Tar Heel delegation headed 6y Governor Hodges is not expected to weaken in their support of the former Illinois Governor who now appears to have aiv excellant , ' ThanCU tO^Wfri on the first ballot: But, if he is not nominated by - the third ballot at the latest, any thing can happen.
