SECTION TWO • By WILBORNE HARRELL OK I hold no brief for the John Birch Society, but if their stat ed aims and goals may be ac cepted as a criterion, it is an organization that will bear thoughtful investigation by all Americans. I accept the premise that the communist conspiracy is not only poised to strike at my country, but at me, as an in dividual. They are conspiring to ,usurp my privileges, my liber ties, and reduce my status as a freeborn American to that of a cog in a slave-state. I believe that if every American would accept communism as a personal enemy, we would be far ad vanced on the road to a nation wide repudiation of all that com munism stands for. If the aver age American is once aroused and led to accept the fact that Federal Grants To States And Cities Show Big Rise Increasing Source of Funds to Help Hard Pressed State and Local Governments U. S. financial assistance to State and local governments through grants-in-aid, a century old program originally designed as a limited education aid, has become an important factor in the rising pattern of Federal ex penditures and, in recent years, one of the fastest-growing ele ments also. > Representing a cooperative ap proach to attaining national as well as local objectives while maintaining community partici pation and responsibility, this NOTICE!

It is just this awakening of the American people that the com ■ munists are out to prevent at 1 all costs. As I see it, to spear -1 head this awakening is one of the major aims of the John Birch Society—the arousing of the American public to this very real threat that is aimed at us; as a nation, and more import ant, as individuals. J _ PHIL OSOPHER SAYS: You] are treading on shaky ground! the instant you begin to think you are smart. TIDBITS: Without benefit of air-conditioning or electric fans, program has become an increas ing source of funds for hard pressed State and local govern ments in meeting welfare, health,. road building, education, and other needs of a growing popu lation. In the last two years this Federal assistance repre sented about a seventh of all State and local government rev enues combined, a decidedly higher proportion than in the past. Tripled In Decade Figures compiled by the U. S. Bureau of the Budget show that the flow of funds to States and localities from the U. S. Treas-1 ury rose to a new high above $7 billions in the 1960 fiscal year, more than double the 1955 fig ure and three times the total at the start of the last decade. Last year’s amount was the equivalent of about $1 out of every sl3 of all Federal spend ing for the year including trust fund outlays, a ratio twice tha_t ‘of the years in the early Fif ties. The figures include a rel- j atively small amount of shared j THE CHOWAN HERALD I the Shepard-Pruden Library is the coolest and most comfort able spot in town.

The Budget Bureau reports that the rise is still continuing, estimating the total of such out lays at practically $8 billions in the 1962 fiscal year which starts on July 1, exclusice of the ef fect of pending legislation. For most of the last two dec ades, public assistance was the leading item in Federal grants in-aid to State and local govern ments, in some years represent ing half or more of the annual I total, but it has been superseded in the No. 1 spot by highway* construction. U. S. public assist ance grants topped $2 billions I for the first time last year, al most double the 1950 figure. I However, U. S. grants-in-aid for' highway construction have | tripled since 1957 alone, and added up to just under $3 bil-| lions last year. *Jlhe factor here has been the interstate highway! i program, financed out of the I trust fund created under the 1956 highway act. Education Aid To Rise Grants for health and welfare services increased by about a half billion dollars in the last decade and topped SBOO millions in the 1960 fiscal year. Federal aid to education amounted to little more than S4OO millions last year, but this is slated to rise on passage of the $2!6 bil lion aid to education bill now before Congress. The present system of Federal grants-in-aid to State and local governments dates l>ack to the Morrill Act, a statute enacted during the War Between the States to establish the land-grant colleges.
