WASHINCTON REPORT Raleigh—Little Rock and the Russian Sputniks shook the trust ing faith many people in North Carolina had in a Presidfent who all along has preferred the golf Course to the hard decisions Stiff hard thinking that ought to go with the high office he holds. The President lost his confi dence of many of his former ad mirers when he sent armed sold iers to surround a high school, without regard for either the tra ditions of our people against mili tary coercion or his own previ ous strong assurances that he would pever use troops to forte integration anywhere. When the Russians sent tt*e first earth satellite whirling around the world the Uhitid States was left at the post in the first lap of the race toward mas tery of outer space. This single, dramatic event caught the itnagk nation of the wofld but the Pres * ident’s first reactions were, to me, amazingly unconcerned and com placent. However, the American people were not unconcerned, and their uneasiness changed into ale-m as the Russians did it again with Sputnik 11, complete with dog. Soon after that the President announced a series of speeches to give us, he said, ‘‘the rough with the smooth,” but my own feeling? is that he is still glossing over what may be the most critical plight the United States has ever found itself in. Much as I hate to say it, at times we are com > pletely without leadership. A Washington newspaperman, George Dixon, told a hifmorous story in his column last week which carries a more sober mes sage than many of us might like to admit. It was as follows: “When former President Harry s • * - ♦ ' Kentucky Bourbon /' kti;,. -| |HX X ’♦ , JKpgpyx--:• <.• . ...:8 ✓ jj- * jJaWfe- ■" I /C GRtWuiJltt V \J | Sftuu 9 /Us*u>J<£Ht&>&p , ■ ‘.

And for tne person who sends the best confession, one that’s printable and can be Used in this report, I will give a box of chew ing tobacco—enough to dq a lot of missionary work.

HOW TREES ARD SHRUBS REDUCE TRAFFIC NOISES Properly planted trees and shrubs reduce traffic noises and fumes, and prevent headlight glare. Heavy street traffic has 70 decibels of sound. Proper land scaping can reduce the noise up to 60 per cent, according to the American Association of Nursery men and the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads. If the landscap ing cuts the traffic noises in half| it' will reduce the noise of a heavy traffic area practically to that of a suburban street in the quiet evening, which is measured at 30 decibels of sound.
