Gardner, Collector TOWN OF EDENTON The People of Our First District: Counties of Camden, Chowan, Gates, Currituck, Pasquotank and FROM: W. T, “Bill” Culpepper, Jr. CANDIDATE FOR THE House of Representatives I would like very much to have your support and vote and allowed the privilege of Representing you in the 1967 N. C. General Assembly. This is my first offering for an elective political office, however, my Father served as both a Representative and State Senator. My younger Brother was Mayor of Elizabeth City for four terms, resigning to accept a Postmaster appointment. My reason for mentioning this is to inform you that although I have had little experience in the elective field I have certainly been exposed to its environment. About the only thing that I can say for myself is that I am a small busi ness man with no axes to grind and whose outside positions in the past were involved only in community service. These, however, have afforded me reasons to believe that if elected I can serve the Counties of our District in a fair and impartial manner. Each registered voter has the opportunity of selecting two of the an nounced field of six to serve as their Representatives in the 1967 General Assembly. Should you be allowed to c ast one of your votes in behalf of my candidacy, you can be sure that it would be much appreciated. Sincerely yours, W. T. “Bill” Culpepper, Jr. The President has recom mended that this figure be reduced to $183,400,000, but many of us felt that this re duction was not justified for such a tried and proven pro gram. In the First North Caro lina Congressional District there are 10 school admini strative units which receive these supplemental funds. We were able to override the Administration and restore the funds for the impacted areas. Many of us are differing with the Administration in their recommendation that we cut the appropriation for many successfully proven programs, based on many years of experience, v'hile increasing by tremendous amounts, the appropriations ’flip fIIOWAN HFRALIV FHFNTOIV VfIRTB CAROLINA THIIR.9DAT ttiy 19 iam for many of the new and un proven programs. For ex ample, the $1.7 billion which is requested for the “Poverty Program”. So far, we have been able to restore the ne cessary funds for such items as School Lunch Program, Milk Program, Agriculture Extension Service, and other programs. The Higher Education Fa cilities Act. of 1963 was ex tended for an additional three years. When we consider the tremendously increased en rollment on the college level, tihs type legislation, if ad ministered fairly, can be of inestimable value. Ten years ago there were some 240,000 students in graduate education in the United States; today there are nearly 600,000 and in 1974 it is estimated that there will be over one mil lion graduate students in our colleges and universities.
