Reports indicate that the fi nancial condition as well as the Bond Program to be voted on, if approved, are both sound. In the first place, it is pointed out, bonds can only be issued if they fall within the safe limita tion required by North Carolina law. Durham’s position among other North Carolina cities has also been cited. In the matter of bonds, Durham rates are at the top among North Carolina cities and has held this position for some time. Since 1945, Durham has approved bonds in the amount of $10,432,000. This rates favorably with our neigh boring cities of llaleigh. $9,055, 000, Greensboro, $7,110,000, and Winston-Salem, $10,940, 000. It is far exceeded by Char lotte which, since 1945, has ap proved $37,113,000 in bonds. Included in the $5,400,000 total being requested by Dur ham are tight of the city’s most pressing needs. The final figure is the result of many months of looking into the city's multiple needs. Once presented to the Council, a careful cutting pro cess was carried thru on each of the requests based on the im mediacy of the need, the desires of the public, the effect on the city tax rate and the city’s fi nancial condition. The total finally set repre sents what is regarded as the minimum' requirements for each of the eight individual issues. Broken down, the program in- 'cludes $700,000 far residential Street Improvements, $1,000, 000 for Thoroughfares as a step towards easing the city's traffic problems. $1,250,000 for Water Department repairs, im provements and extensions, $500,000 for Sewer IbEtensions of main lines and other work. $950,000 for repairs, improve ments and additions to Sewage Disposal Plants, $300,000 each for new headquarters buildings for Police and Fire Depart ments, and $400,000 for repairs, improvements and additions to the Incinerator Plant which is presently working in excess of capacity. City residents of Durham will go to the polls this Saturday, March 17th, to cast their votes on Durham’s 8-Point Bond Pro gram. The election is the culmina tion of many months of study on the part of the City Council re garding the community’s most pressing needs. Issues seeking approval of the voters totaling $5,400,000 mclude $700,000 in Street Improvement*; $1,000, 000 earmarked for ’Thorough fares as a start towards reliev ing Durham’s acute traffic prob lem; $1,290,000 for Water an'd $500,000 -for Sewer Improve ments and Extensions; $950,000 for improvements and additions to Sewage. Disposal Plants; $400,000 for repairs, improve ments and additions for Incine rator Plant; and $300,000 each for new Police and Fire Sta tion Headquarters Buildings. Although admittedly not a small sum, it is the belief of the Council that, if past experience is any Indication, the present Bond Program should have little if any effept on the city tax rate. Substantiating this 'feeUng is the fact that in recent years, the Sewer and Water Department has been self-sustaining, and present operations indicate that Bonds to be used by this Depart ment, totaling $2,950,000, could be self-liquidating. Furthermore, it was pointed out that petitions for new streets promise to pay off approximate ly 60 percent of these needed Bonds which would cover in ex cess of another $1,000,000. This would leave an amount of ap proximately $1,700,000. At the present rate of growth, normal increases in tax valuations could well hold any increase' in the tax rate to a minimum.

Further more, for some of you dads ai well as Explorers, it al»o helps to face squarely the realities of busy life and responsibilities that you will soon be accepting. By realities we mean such things as your health. How many of you Explorers have false teeth? That may sound ridiculous to you at this mo ment, and I daresay that there wasn’t a one of your dads that thought about having false teeth or work at your age. Yet, those are part of the realities of life. If, at your age, you squarely face this possibility and recog nize what an important part health and diet play in your de velopment, it can be of tremen dous value. Now about dreaming a little. Many of you dads have been busy with business responsibili ties, earning a living, that there doesn’t seem time to do things with these young men who are your sons. In only a few short years, they will be leaving your homes and establishing homes of their own. This Explorer Pro gram provides an opportimity for your sons to do things of common interest together. Exploring, in addition to be ing a continuatiun of the Scout Program for young men, pro vides a clean slate upon which to write the needs of the group of young men as they are. Ex perience has indicated there are four general areas of interest that fit well into Exploring. They are: First, vigorou.s physical acti vities which requires the use of intelligence and skill. Every dad here can help with that phase of the program by teaching us some of the skills they learned as young men, or some of the skills that you cherish most as a hobby today. The Explorer ac tivity program is largely an out- of-door program and includes such skills as swimming, boat ing, canoeing; field sports, such as archery, marksmanship, ex peditions; and high adventure camps. Then, there is mountain climbing, aviation, orienteering and seamanship skills. Many of these will fit right into the ex periences of you as fathers and the interest of your sons. Do them together .-is often as pos sible. Second, vocational explora tion is an Important challenge to every young man in the last years of his high school. Are you going to college? Become a pro fessional man? A Politltlon? Have a business of your own? Are you going to leam a trade? Or are you going to drift from one job to another as opening exist? A planned future makes a secure future. Dads can help in this pha6e of the program by giving in sight into their own life work. Not only to their sons, but to other young men. What training is necessary for success? What’s the best way to get started In a given trade or profession? How much educational back^ound Is needed today? From this point Explorers will explore InBustry, agriculture, community leader ship, in fact, every phase of their surroundings in business science, and the arts. They will correlate their findings with their experience in school. Next week we will continue with the third and fourth gene ral interest that fit weU into Exploring. On Saturday, March 17lh, at the State Fair Ground, we shall have our Boy Scout Exposition. All parents and friends of Scouting are asked to be there. Get your tickets from a Scout in your community.

"Raise A Square Meal" Meetings Well Attended In Chatham 1 PITTSBORO Approximately 400 persons attended the “Raise a Square Meal Around Home” meetings held in fourteen communities of Chatham County during February. The initial phase of the pro gram, which has state wide em phasis, was conducted by the County Farm and Home Agents, J. A. Turner and Mrs. Mildred B. Payton. With North Caro lina ranking 44th in the nation in per capita farm incoipe, the necessity for raising “a square meal around home” was stress ed as the solution to raising the farm income as well as improv ing the health of the family. With the aid of slides, the home Agent pointed out the im portance of a garden from the aspects of both health and wealth. The Farm Agent con cluded the meetings with an il lustrated discussion of gardfn cultivation practices.
