Bradshaw Addresses Congressional Club; Alleges Propaganda Attack
RALEIGH - State
Transportation Sec. Tom
Bradshaw struck back with
facts last Thursday at the
Congressional Club and
“other like-minded groups
of ultra-conservatives” that
are fighting Gov. Jim Hunt’s
highway funding proposals
in the General Assembly.
Bradshaw, who has
resigned his position ef
fective July 1, said, “It
would be tragic for North
Carolina if the forces that
are fighting the governor’s
proposals in the hope of
gaining narrow partisan
political advantage should
prevail.”
But the secretary added,
“I don’t believe they will. I
am confident the people will
see through the
smokescreen being thrown
up in an effort to mislead
them about our highway
needs.”
Bradshaw said that
“Some of the propaganda
activities financed or
otherwise suppported by the
right-wing political club
have amounted to personal
attacks on me."
The club used “blatant
distortion or outright om
missionof facts,” Bradshaw
said, “to encourage not
justify hostility to progress
and enlightment in our
state, but also to seek
financial contributions...”
Bradshaw cited several
instances in which he said
TV and radio ads financed
by the Congressional Club
distorted, misrepresented
or did not tell the truth in
their attacks upon him and
Gov. Hunt’s program. He
backed up his news con
ference statements with
records and fact sheets
dealing with the highway
construction projects in
question.

“One of the ads says we
have built an unneeded road
through the property of
Transportation Board
member Arthur William
son,” Bradshaw said. “This
is a reference to the
proposed NC 130 project in
Columbus County. And it is
just not true.”
Bradshaw said that no
right-of way acquisition or
construction has been
authorized for the project
and “it Is now being
reevaluated, along with all
other projects in our long
range planning document
called the Transportation
Improvement Program, in
the light of our severly
limited financial resour
ces.”
Bradshaw said the same
ad “makes something
sinister out of our decision to
alter a highway project at
Conway in Northampton
County to save two old
magnolia trees.”
Actually, “it may well
have cost the public less” to
save the magnolias “than it
would have cost us to fight a
threatened condemnation
lawsuit through the courts
so we could cut down these
trees,” Bradshaw said.
The secretary state,
“Considering the political
viewpoint of those who run
the Congressional Club, one
wonders what the club’s
reaction would have been if
we had cut down the old
magnolia trees? Would they
have complained that our
bulldozers were out to
destroy the few remaining
symbols of plantation
society in Northeastern
North Carolina?”
Bradshaw said that “the
advertising blitz directed at
me also distorts and
misrepresents the facts
about plans for a bridge in
Camden County.” The 65-
foot bridge in question will
carry US 17 traffic over a
canal that serves as an
alternate route for the In
tracoastal Waterway. Since
construction began, dry
weather conditions which
lowered the water level in
the canal forced its closing
to navigation for an in
definite period.
Bradshaw said the

35-foot span over the canal
in January, 1979, before
construction got underway .
He said that “strong support
for a 65-foot bridge” from a
number of organizations in
the area, including the U. S.
Corps of Engineers,
prompted withdrawal of the
request for a 35-foot bridge.
“It should be noted that all
fixed-span bridges over the
Intracoastal Waterway
provide 65-foot vertical
clearance,” Bradshaw said.
Inforaml indications that
the canal might be
discontinued as an alternate
route for the waterway
didn’t come until the fall
of 1980, after $2.5-million in
construction contracts had
been authorized, Bradshaw
said.

have been saved by
redesigning the project and
starting all over,” Brad-

BREAST MILK-
The Best Milk
Most pediatricians feel
that both breast feeding and
bottle feeding can produce
physically and emotionally
healthy babies. However,
there are many important
advantages of breast
feeding which today’s young
couples are realizing and
considering. Breast milk is
raw and fresh. No nutrients
have been destroyed by
methods of processing. And
assuming that the mother is
eating a good diet, it is the
perfectly balanced meal for
an infant. It also contains
necessary disease-fighting
antibodies which are passed
to the infant. Breast milk is
known to be easier to digest
than formulas. Babies fed
entirely on breast milk
seldom get constipated.
Stools are soft with little
odor. In addition, breast fed
babies are much less likely
to have serious respiratory
problems, digestive
problems, skin disorders or
other allergic reactions. The
baby’s sucking exercise
from the breast leads to
good facial development
whereas persons bottle fed
from birth tend to have

market research among our
customers.
Beginning May 28, trained
research personnel began
calling and talking with a
number of Carolina
Telephone customers. The
researchers are asking
questions and seek in
formation that will enable
them to complete research
forms.
The researchers will in all
cases identify themselves

The overall objective of
the research is to provide

base future plans and
decisions on the public’s
needs, wants, and desires.
A random sampling

study of the department’s
operations, said the
statement about the audits
is incorrect. “I am at a loss
as to why the statement was
made,” Renfro said in the
letter.
Bradshaw also said that
one of the legislative
chairmen, Rep. Allen
Barbee of Nash County,
responded on April 30 to the
auditor’s letter.
“TTiis week, however, the
discredited suggestion
about the audits was in
cluded in a thick package of
more dental structure
problems in adulthood.
It is for many of these
reasons that informed
young women are now
choosing more often to
breast feed their babies. In
the process, they find that it
is a very convenient and
inexpensive method, in
volving no sterilizion,
mixing, warming or
storage. Breast milk is
always the perfect tem
perature and is available at
a moment’s notice. And as
an extra plus for the mother,
nursing helps the uterus to
contract and return to
normal size after delivery.
Nursing also burns an extra
500 to 1000 calories a day
which helps the woman to
return to her normal weight
and shape again.
Most women are
physically able to nurse
their babies, even those who
are Rh negative, have had
cesarean deliveries,
multiple births, or
premature deliveries.
