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

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. >

proach to attaining national as

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.

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

revenues and net loans and re
payable advances as well as
grants-in-aid.
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.

!New Highway Map
i Now Off Presses
J The new official North Caro
lina State Highway Map is off
the presses and ready for free
’ distribution. P’-inted in full
color, the new map shows the
routings of more than 13,000
miles of primary, interstate and
major secondary roads through
out North Carolina.
In addition to a wealth ofj
travel information for the tour-!
ist, there are a dozen and a half
full color pictures of some of 1
the Tar Heel State’s most in
teresting tourist attractions. Fea
tured are scene spots from the
mountains to the sea as the map
carries out the general theme
of “Variety Vacationland.”
This year’s front cover picture
shows the famed Ocracoke light
house in America’s first Nation
al Seashore Park while on t«v
* back the mountains are pictured
as they are seen in the early
fall with Grandfather Mountain
in the distant background.
Highway officials report that
the demand for the color map
has been on the increase for
several years with orders com
ing from every state and several
foreign counties. It has often
been tabbed as one of the most
effective advertising tools for at
tracting out-of-state visitors.
This year 300,000 copies havej
been printed and are available
j free of charge from the State
Highway Commission.
