Appalachia Funds
May Be Given Axe
The House plans to cut about
$50 million from the admini
stration’s aid-to-Appalachia
program when it returns from
the Labor Day recess. But it
probably will leave intact oper
ating funds for five similar re
gional programs across the
nation.
The House Rules Committee
announced that the $220 million
authorization bill would be
considered by the House
Sept. 13.
April 27, the Senate voted to
spent $273.6 million during the
two fiscal years ending June 30,
1969 on the system of grants
and loans for better roads,
sewer projects, and health,
educational, housing and mining
facilities.
DETRIMENT OF OTHERS
The House Public Works
Committee cut the program by
$53.6 million, however, arguing
that the bill aids one area of the
nation to the detriment of
^others. r. , .
President Johnson tried to
make the bill more palatable to
Congress by asking in his fiscal
1967-68 budget for “starting
funds*' for other regional
commissions in the Ozarks,
New England, the Great Lakes,
south central states, and the
four corners region of New
Nexico, Colorado, Utah and
Arizona.
The committee, after con
siderable controversy, ap
proved $25 million each for
operations during the next two
years.
PROTEST EXPECTED
Republican members of the
committee are expected to
protest on the floor that despite
administration claims, there
is not enough money available
to operate the commissions. But
Democrats say the funds are
available under the Public
Works and Economic Develop
ment Act of 1965.
Members of both parties have

Voters League
To Solicit Money
The fall finance drive erf the
Boone League of Women Voters
has been set for Sept. 18 to 23
and is to be directed by Mrs.
Paul Patterson.
Mrs. Paul N. Campbell, pub
lic relations officer, says “Al
most every citizen is deeply
interested and concerned with
our country’s future and wants
to do what they can in making
government better and more
effective.
This can be done by support
ing the Boone branch of the
League of Women Voters, which
has no axe to grind, no party
drums to beat—nothing but the
public interest and citizen par
ticipation.”
The League’s finance drive is
“to enable all interested cit
izens, both men and women, to
help support our program of
good government.”
League officers this year are:
President, Mrs. Frank Steckel;
secretary, Mrs. J.W. Norris,
treasurer, Mrs. Velma Burnley;
and editor, Mrs. Kenneth Webb.
The non-partisan organiza
tion is open to women citizens
of voting age and its purpose is
to promote political responsi
bility through “informed and
active participation of all cit
izens in government.” The in
terest, study and work of League
members is through local, state
and national government issues.
Card Of Thanks
We would like to express
our sincere appreciation to
the many friends and relatives
who showed so much kindness
and sympathy following the death
of our loved one, Dennis E.
Anderson. Also, our deepest
appreciation for the beautiful
floral arrangements.—^The

Boone will receive $25,990.94
based on the 1960 population of
3,686 and 30.95 miles of non
system streets.
Blowing Rock gets $11,466.14,
allotted on a basis of the 1960
census of 711 and 18.13 miles of
non-system streets.
Hunt said that 424 North Caro
lina towns and cities will receive
proportional cash allotments
amounting to $9,959,054.78.
Checks will be mailed from Ra
leigh the latter part of
September so that they will
reach the municipalities by
October 1.
Funds equal to the amount
produced by one-half cent of the
regular six-cents per gallon
motor fuel tax levied by the
State are returned annually to
participating municipalities in
proportional shares based on
relative non-state system street
mileage and on the relative
populations of each of the mu
nicipalities.
Towns and cities qualifying
for participation do so by sub
mitting detailed information
each year to the Highway Com
mission concerning ad valorem
taxes, other sources of revenue,
budget ordinances and local
elections. Some legally incor
porated towns do not participate
in the Powell Bill Program
simply because they do not per
form the necessary municipal
functions required under the
law.
Chairman Hunt noted that the
$9,959,054.78 being returned to
the 424 participating munici
palities this year is more than
twice the amount returned to
386 participating towns and
cities at the beginning of the
program in 1951.
During the 17 year history of
the Powell Bill Program, a total
of $118,260,817.55 has been re
turned to the municipalities for
use on local streets.
