S. Senator William B. Um stead of Durham told a joint session of the Farmville Eotary and Kiwanis clubs Monday night. Enumerating some ,of the things that have made North Carolina great —such* things as good roads and fine public schools, a medical care pro gram' second to none, recreation and scenic facilities surpassed on the face of the globe, and people of high character, the Durham attorney urged Tar Heels to emulate Texans who, at the drop of a hat, will proclaim that nothing, anywhere, can compare with what Texas has and with what Texans can do. - - - Since North- Carolina is completing a half-century of progress, a period that started with the Aycock adminis tration at the turn of the century, Umstead stated that now is an ex cellent time for citizens to evaluate their state and to formulate programs for making even more pronounced p: ogress. For the continued develop menf of North Carolina, the visiting dignitary listed ^ive points he con sidered necessary: '. Additional factories and indus try, s which provide employment and furbish a source of taxes. More in dusuy would also eliminate the necessity of young Tar Heels from gel:’? into other states to seek their livelihood. 2. A realization by all groups of Nil'll: Carolina that what helps one sc Jon of the state helps the whole state. Improvements to state ports, f<, • example, will indirectly benefit the Piedmont and Western counties. Likewise, the development of resorts jn the west will benefit the east. 3. A continued medical care pro gram, providing more nurses, doctors and trained personnel, Umstead cited this point as one answer to socialized medicine, “to which,” he added, “1 am opposed.” A. Protection' of the farm program, which is now under attack from cer tain factions in Congress and from certain business groups in non-agri cuitural sections \ 5, Development and expansion of’ marketing facilities, Umstead closed his talk with a strong plea for the protection- of in dividual freedom under the-law, the basis of America’s ‘ greatness. He glided that this .can be preserved by hard work and rugged honesty, for whi-h there are no substitutes, and a' realization of the power and strength of spiritual values, No pessimist; the former senator expressed a belief . that, basically, . thoughtful people still have faith in spiritual powers, and that it will be this power that will lead the world to peace. ymstead’s visit to Farmville was in keeping with a policy adopted a few years ago of having prominent officials and candidates for state ard national offices address the clubs in joint session. Purpose of these visits is not to use the clubs as political sounding boards, but rather to let members meet the officials without political fanfare or propaganda.
