The resolution adopted by the I council did not, however mention i the segregation issue as s factor in the closing. City Councilman A! Stevens an id the main reason for keep ing the course closed is that the city does not have suffi cient funds to operate such a facility "particularly in view of a recent drop in revenue from intangible taxes" in Guilford County and Greens- j boro. Stevens said another reason is; that the city owns half of the! [ property and the school board j I the other half ‘and the school I board doesn't, usually sell its I land." i Stevens also said it is doubtful.

Evans, a member of the pro - segregation patriots of North Carolina, Inc., said his letter of protest was to notify the board that he and his wife would seek a Superior Court injunction against the inte gration move. To date, no such injunction has been filed. Evans explained that he did not know the procedure for filing such an appeal, and that he sent the letter to the school board as an opening step.

These towns are usually pictured as far away places where no one lives, the houses, are old dilapi dated. crumbling sharks and j the only visible life is a stray, flea-eaten dog or a mangy eat or two. There is nothing about a place answering to this description that is pala table or pleasing or could make, one want, io go and see it. Just in ease, however you do have a yen for browsing around amid such surroundings, we suggest you take a hike down to ihe area where the new 30(1 unit pubiie housing project will be built. There on this project site which begins on S. Fayetteville St., di rectly in front of the Washington School, you will see all we have described above. You will see | more,, because in some of these j pitiful structures you will find . human beings. You will see fam ilies in several of them, families who are still living in what has Just about become a "ghost-town” living there for the simple and : good reason they have no place 1 to go There is no question about this : housing project being needed here. It may be that the location chos ; en for it was the best of several offered, but when you go down there now and ask those who are still there why they haven’t mov ; ed on as the majority of the resi -1 dents have and they tell you they 1 have no place ’o move to. you wonder if ihe authorities who i okayed this site for the housing I project don't owe a responsibility |to these people of finding them another place to live. We believe ; that .they do. * * * CANNOT BE RECONCILED: Recent disclosures about the hef i ty salary increases granted to sev eral state officials, plus the action of the “Big Business” legislature in giving 20 percent pay raises to members of the Conned of State, i the raising of the pay of solicitors, judges, teachers, and other state employees, plus the substantial increase given to the law makers themselves, make the refusal by this legislature to allow’ 90.000 i workers in this state a bare mini mum of 75c per hour an action that can never be reconciled with common decency and fair play. : From these 90,000 workers must ! come a part of the money to pay i the fat increases given the top : State office holders. From this group of 1057 North Carolina-type peons must come a share of the money to pay for the expen sive and expanding State gov ernment the present adminis tration has set up. A larger chunk of their present 40c per hour wage is bound to be tak en from them because of the higher amount of taxes they will have to pay. The governor said he was in favor of the proposed 75c minimum but it is a fact of record that where as and also wherein he pulled out all the stops to get his big business deals through, he al lowed the wage hour boost to die aborning. One of the sad dest farts about this sad sit uation is that the persons who were refused this modest pay increase are the ones who need it the most. The action of those vvho blocked it can never i be reconciled. * • • OUR BEST WISHES: Odds and ; Ends extends its best wishes fori much success to Mark Ethridge, j Jr. upon his new' venture as a | newspaper publisher in West.
