CLIFF BLUE . . .
People &
Issues
WAGES ... In the past,
workers in big industries have been
receiving yearly wage hikes. This
year the situation may be different
if the huge Ford Motor Company
is to be followed.
Certanly, Federal wages should
have no wholesale increase; in fact,
Reagan should oppose any in
crease for government workers,
and lead the way back to "normal
ly", which was a government
slogan after World War 1.
TOM GILMORE . . . Former
Rep. Tom Gilmore appears to have
done a good job blunting the
legislative drive for four year
terms. A majority of the Tar Heel
legislators voted for the measure,
but now we hear of no one suppor
ting the measure!
The bill, enabling a governor to
serve two successive four year
terms, should be abolished, but it
will take a State Constitutional
amendment to do so. Governor
Hunt has made a good governor,
but not every governor may be as
straight forward and dedicated to
what is best in the future as is Jim
Hunt.
The two four-year terms for
governor should be repealed; and
the proposed four year terms for
the legislators should be killed by
the people in the next general elec
tion.
DARE COUNTY ... We
observe in The Coastland Times
that three public officials, pictured
standing in the court room will
soon be retiring. They are Sheriff
Frank Cahoon. Superior Court
I Clerk. Chauncey S. Meekins and
Superior Court Judge George M.
Fountain. All three are retiring at
the end of their present terms of
office. Judge Fountain will have
completed 30 years on the bench;
Meekins will be completing an as
tounding 56 years of service and
Sheriff Cahoon will have served 30
years; the service of the three
representing a century and a
| quarter.
These men are to be con
gratulated for their years of ser
vice. 1 can remember when Judge
Fountain and "ye scribe" were in
the YDC together, many years
ago.
?ESCALATING RATES!... Lots
of people are concerned about the
escalating phone and electric rates
in recent months and years; when
many people are being laid off.
^ On the other hand, we suspect
that almost everyone has noticed
that gasoline prices have been eas
ing down during the last few
weeks. We can remember when
gasoline was 20' per gallon!
ROBERT MORGAN . . .
Former United Stales Senator
Robert Morgan of Buies Creek has
returned to Harnett where he will
share the Lillington office of the
firm of Robert H. (Bob) Jones.
' Other members of the firm are
James M. Johnson, Robert C.
Bryan and Dwight W. Snow. All
are well-known Harnett attorneys.
Morgan said he would continue
to maintain close ties with the
Raleigh firm.
From what we read in the papers
he could be setting up for another
run for the United States Senate;
where he served for six years.
HELMS . . . We notice that
I Senator Helms has come out for
the sale of tremendous acreage of
land, which the United States
government owns. Helms says that
the U.S. Government owns land
that could be sold for enough to
pay off the national debt!
If so, I am for it. Then we
should move towards a constitu
tional amendment for a balanced
budget, except in case of war or
( dire emergency.
If Senator Helms is correct in his
statement, he should push Presi
dent Reagan and Congress to sell
the land, pay off the national debt
and get back to sane living!
BELK. . .We understand that
John Belk is seriouslv considering
running for governor in 1984. Belk
is a member of the Belk Stores
family which has stores
throughout North Carolina and
| beyond.
HOOVER ADAMS WRITES...
"With all the scandals, bid rigging
and other forms of corruption
swirling about the State Highway
Commission during the past year
or so, it seems incredible that
anybody in that organization
would even suggest that the rules
of ethics for that department
should be loosened." writes Editor
^ Hoover Taft in the Dunn Dispatch.

eliminate the 12th grade in the high
schools. 1 haven't thought much
about it. but since 1 went to only 1 1
grades and can remember when the
12th grade was put in, it just
started me to thinking.
1 can also remember the eight
month schools.
Another item that came over the
news on the TV was that state
employees might not get a raise in
the upcoming year. Now this has
been something I have been think
ing ever since they have been
talking about inflation coming
down. There will be no cost of
living increase, if the cost of living
is coming down. Do you think this
will happen?
