thin< to assure our children of a better education in D^1^1recentartiele from the Duplin Board of Education, it was revealed that 37^ rf the $1.65 px levy is budgeted to the public schools for 19 68-69 and 1969-70 fiscal year Is this enough to assure our children of qual ity education? The Duplin County Board of Edu cation says it is NOT. The 1968 State of North Carolina Statistics of Taxation reveals that If the same financial em phasis had been placed on education In Duplin County as in the surrounding counties over the gastjyears, our educational structure would be The re-evaluation of our tax structure with an emphasis on education, the upgrading of ele mentary schools, the enlargement of high schools, a broader curriculum and better qualified teach ers are listed as a must if Duplin County is to have a better educational program. - The challenge is ours. The Broard of Educa tion has promissed to do their very best to provide a sound educational program. We as citizens of Duplin County must support their program in or der to assure our children a better education. - Resolution RESOLVED by the County Board of Education of Duplin County that this board supports the county Watershed Referen dum to be held on August 2, 1969, because it realizes the importance of flood control, improved recreational facilities, and industrial and municipal water - all of which are essential to the long-range economic growth of the county. The educa tional needs of Duplin County can only be realized by having a sound, aggressive and growing economy. Farm income can be increased with the minimum of flooding, thereby, producing niore taxable income and resulting in increased sales by our merchants. Additional water for industrial and municipal use will enhnace ^^opportunities for more payrolls and at the same time create a broader tax base through increased valuations anl provide growth funds for schools and other public services.

The departments and agen cies af the Executive Branch of the Government have reported to the Manpower and Civil Service Subcommittee savings in excess of $60 million for the last six months of 1968 through improved uses of per sooner and equipment. . Also, during the same period over 14,500 vacant civil service po sitions were abolished. When the average annual Federal sa lary around $8,000, this in itself represents a substantial sa ..V f ;, This report contains many interesting examples of impro ved work techniques and over all better management. A few are summarised as follows: Hie Farmers Home Adminis tration. Depart tent of Agricul crlterla, now employs part time clerks in lieu of full time clerks in son 00 I 1 has resulted In a savings for fiscal year 1968 of over $175, 000. The Patent Office, Depart ment of Commerce, by re sorting to a microfilm search system on old patents, instead of the old hard-back files, has eliminated 17 man-years with an ? annual savings of $164,000. An employee of the Army Air Defense Command developed a target ranging radar simulator to test Nike-Hercules fire un its. Army officials estimate over A million will b 6. tared through use of this simulator. The Military Sea Transpor tation Service, Department of Navy, has found a way to seal off parts of loaded ammunition ships to do "hot-work" without completely unloading. On the ship alone labor costs of $410, 000 were saved. ' The Missile Early Warning Station, Clear Alaska, Depart ment of Air Force, has gone from a contract operation on fire protection to in-house at an annual savings of $400,000. The Subcommittee semiannu ally issues a report showing ex amples of improved manage ment, as reported by the dep artments and agencies of the Executive Branch.

Wrrn i AMM1 Some years ago, an astute observer of the federalgovern ment described its activities as, "Tax and tax; spend and spend; and elect and elect." The legislative schedule for this we* involves in a big way two of those elements; taxation ^id speqding. ' ?;= fTax-Wtsh, the propose is. essentially to extend the tax a "temporary" measure; coup led with a repeal of the Tjfc investment credit now provided for businesses making capital improvements; and other mis cellaneous provisions. Spending-wise, the bill before us is a huge package which would make appropriations for a long list of independent agenc ies and die Department of Hou sing and Urban Development totalling $14.9 billion. Much is made in the committee report of the fact that this sum is $473 J million below the budget estim ate. I must confess that even after 8 years in Washington, figures running in multi-billions still stagger me. There a re so many essential items in the bigspen-' ? ding bill that it would be di fficult to vote against the en tire package and still be re sponsible. The budget for the , VA, for example, certainly has to be fiuded, as does that oftbe<J Selectins Service System',"' the '7f FTC, FCC and Civil Service Commission. And, of course, we must have appropraitlons for 1 major governmental dep artment like HUD. It is my intenfian, however, to support a number of amend - ments which will be offered to reduce the appropriations in many areas which I consider non-essential, or low-priority items. As 1 announced last week, I shall vote against extension of the surtax, and if a repres entative is not willing to vote for sufficient tax ,to fund pro- J posed appropriations, to be re- j sponsible, he must likewise oppose the appropriations. Riles For Daily Living Begin the day with God: ' Kneel down to Htm in prayer; 1 Lift up the heart to His abode, 1 And seek His love to share. Open the Book of God, And read a portion there; That it may hallSw all they .thoughts And sweeten all they care. Go through the day with God: 1 .>%?. Where'er thy work may be, Where'er thou art?at home, abroad? ' He is still near to thee. Converse in mind with God: / Thy sins to Him confess; * ^ - Trust in the Lord's atoning blood, J ?n./ ; And plead His righteousness. Lie down at night with God, | Who gives His servants sleep; And when thou tread'st the vale of death, | He will thee gurard and keep. . ; : I . lit, - " > Author Unl<!i0Vvn Complete Lir Aquarium Supplies i ^1 AIWBL 11 6111'1 BTfkJI L00HN6BUK ?BBrf ^ Ada Thigpen, Beulaville, anc a member of the CampbellCol lege Choir is touring Europe Hail destroys crops 011 Wilej Dail farm near Mount Olive, Distribution of surplus foods begins in Duplin County U.S, Department of Agriculture udder supervision Of Dept. ol Welfare.

The admini stration of the Act has been generally praiseworthy. How ever, recent developments in the criminal law have caused a need to revise and refine certain of the Act's provisions which have been found to be ctpbersome. As a result of studies, Senator Hruska and 1 have introduced a measure, S. 1481. to Improve the functioning of Criminal Justice Act. The major purpose of the bill is to create a '*mlxed" defender L system that allows each Federal district with a substantial cr iminal docket to provide defense representation in a more eff ective manner in line with local conditions. The 1964 Act was a step in the establishment of a system of adequate defense co unsel for those without finan cial means. S. M81 would im prove the effectiveness of the Act in this respect. It would expand the types of cases and proceedings for which "defen der" counsel could beutfcff.and it would authorize die estab lishment of a public defender ? : m ' coun districts, or parts of com binations of districts, with a of counsel. When the Criminal Justice Act was considered by Congress In 1964, the Senate fender provision in that meas ure. That provision was struck out In the House-Senate con ference committee. The Senate accpeted the will at the House on that provision of the Act, and as the measure was then written It authorised each fed eral district fo establish Its own plan for furnishing counsel for indigent defendants In accord ance with the special problems of each district. Such plan was required to provide for the fur nishing of counsel on a case- I by-case basis by appointment from a panel of private attor neys or attorneys furnished by a bar association or legal aid agency. The conference report accompanying the final version of the 1964 Act recommended that the Department of Justice conduct a study for the purpose of evaluating the operation of the I Act and the advisability of a pu blic defender system for the Federal judicial system. Such a study was commiss ioned in 1967 by the Judicial Conference of tfie United States and the Department of justice, and was cbmpleted in 1968 by II Professor Dallln H. Oaks of the University of Chicago Law Sc hool. Professor Oaks reports I that the Act has been general ? ly successful, but cites the need for "full-time salaried federal defender lawyers on an optional I basis in certain (federal) dlst i ricts". S. 1461 responds to that ?need by authorising certain Itlaige metroploitan districts to set up public'defender off ices. The bill seeks to assure that private attorneys remain Involved in the representation of indigents by requiring that, where practical, private attorn eys shall represent a substan tial number of these defendants. I am hopeful (hat the Subco mmittee's hearings will pro vide information that will assist In formulating legislation on I this subject. - I hft close j Ll CVci Sg the" rtfrwis wmtagtowork to nuke his dream come true. dreamt some it to those who commit th> M>#6% ves to them. I made a visit recently to die Demascus Home for Alcoholics near Burlington. I was very impressed not only with the staff but with die dream that liter ally pervades the piece. They believe that men who are down can be helped to get up and st and on their own two feet again. And they are proving that it can be done. Hundreds of men who are constructive citizens of our communities today will attest to the fact that the Demascus dr eam can and does come true. Out in the front yard of the Administration Building at De mascus is, you guessed It, a wishing well. There is usually some money at the bottom of this well to attest to the fact1 that many have stood here to make a secret and significant wish. Undoubtedly many alco holics who have lost control of their lives have stood before this well, cast in a coin, and made a wish to conquer their problems. Many of these men have failed to realize their dream. Their wish did not come true. Why? Probably because they wanted merely to wish. They were not willing to commit themselves to their dream. They were not willing to pay the price. Or perhaps no one else, particul arly at home, offered the right kind of help. The result, after they came home, has been to get back Into the same rut as be fore. And a rut Is nothing but a grave with both ends knocked out. fctot many of thTmen who made a wish at this1 well have lived to see It com^-true. Why? Because they know that to win the game you must not sit indid^ grandstands. You have to get out on the field and run with die ball. They looked up to God. And God failed them not) The next time you make a wish ask yourself two things: (1) Is this what I really want and is it the best for me?, and (2) What can I do to make it come true? Then, don't just wait--work! i " : vTT: . ?'WW-; ^ ? Z?*-" *r ? ? V/TZ/^ w? pp|iz=;^z=Pii ?
