Going back to the time of the old
Bible character Abraham, Mr. Stone
briefly discussed the development of
civilization and contrasted the conditions
under which Abraham lived
with the conditions under which we
are living today.
"There are four main forces" said I
Mr. Stone, "that make our civilzation
so complex, inese iorces rfie gave as
differentiation, specialization, interdependance,
and monetization.

Clock In Which Hen Sat Duimg
Civil War It Now Keeping Time I
The history of the old-fashioned
weight clock, which Mrs. 0. M. Olvey
who lives near Notla church, now
owns, seenns to surpass in interest
even the history of the famous old
Dutch Clock. Believe it or not, a hen
sat in this clock during the Civil War
and still it continues to keep tipie
today.
Mrs. Olvey's husband, Leonard
Olvey, who owned the clock at the
time of this curious episode, removed
with his family from his home near
Notla church to Tennessee during the
Civil War and, expecting to return
oon, left the clock at a neighbor's

Mr. Frazier, Be Specific
In his advocacy of a reduced in

fice?
Would he return to the countie

wners and farmers the 48,000 mile

Highway Commission has demonstra:
i that it can do a better job for hal
he money spent by the counties'
Surely he would not again ha\e tha
plaintive refrain, "property sold fo:
taxes", go forth again in the land?
Would he have the State Highwaj
1 System, regarded as the finest in the
land, sacrificed for a political slogar
and dump North Carolina into z
quagmire of a broken-down trans
portation system, pi a* a possible default
in the State's obligations; ir
other words' economic chaos?
When all is said and done, Mr,
Frazier, this is an economic question
not a political one, and the persor
or party responsible for bringing
about such an unthinkable state of af
fairs would be regarded by this anc
future generations as Public Enem}

that they had sold their birthrigh1

It is a typical old-fashioned weigh

the frame of the clock is twenty-sis

which are still in use in this p&rt o1

certainly a kindred spirit, seeking
to build up membership in some
sort of Automobile Association by
spreading the fetish of lowered license
tags in many actions of western
North Carolina. Apparently not
troubling to inform himself as to j
facts, but playing on the very human i
t desire to escape any possible taxes,
he is leading the motorist to believe
t he is entitled to lowered tag tax but
1 keeping dark the fact that this policy
c will result in very shortly depriving
1 he motorist of the road .service which
