Because of lha inlaraat In Dr. Boulwara's candidacy, the TIMES Is put.iihing tha following state- ircnt '■.'om Dr. Boulware on his uitude toward his eandi- and Durham County. If our democracy, as a nation and as a community, can ever ful rill its glorious possibilities, then there must be an eaKerness on the part of trc rank and file of citi zens of all walks of life ready and willing to offer themselves as servants of community needs. Therefore in making up my mind to offer myself to the citi zen* of Durham County as a can didate for County Commissioner, » am motivated by the following considerations: Popular government, if it is to be representative, requires that ail segmy«M* of the population i)c rep resented at the policy-making level. Many and far reaching are the decisions which must be made within the next irwo or three year* If Durham u going to meet the challenges every citizen of our County, and all citizens should bs confident that interests are safe guarded.

The new demandf of our times require that all of us should come out of the places oi our self-content and * be enlisted in the cause of democracy. The highest possibilities of our com munity can never be achieved by the efforts of a few leailern no matter how dedicated or efficient The City and County ot Durham are rich in potentialities for un precedented economic, education al and cultural growth.
