Nelms Says: Federal Plan Best For All Sections "If you want to keep good government in North Carolina, vote for the Constitutional Amendment on Reapportion ment," Franklin County Farm Bureau president MelvinNelms said today. North Carolina has a remark able history of good govern ment, Nelms pointed out. "The chief reason Is that we have kept a reasonable balance of power between cpnflictlng in terests In the state legisla ture," he said. "We idon't want to lose this balanc^ and have a Legislature controlled! by selfish Interests." !_ Neljns said he believed it would be a simple muter for selfish power factions, backed by blocs of voters, to control of the Legislature if bbtb Houses are based on popula tion. "The Constitutional Amend ment would permit the House to be based on area (one re presentative to each county In the State) and the Senate to be based on population," Nelms said. "It gives the populous areas of the State quite enough .power, because they would be In control of the Senate. Fur thermore, as their population increases, they would keep gaining Senators." On the other hand, the Amend ment plan would Insure fair representation of rural coun ties In the House ? even if they continue to lose population, as predicted by population experts, said Nelms. "It seems to me that what the Banquet "Few of us have an oppor tunity to take formal sales training. The sales person who reads good books on sales and applied psychology Improves his sales and social personal ity," Chlpman said. The sales party Is (he first of its type to be held here.

Details of the special-value promotion and the prizes will be presented in next Tuesday's Franklin Times. people of the State want is the best representation in the Legislature for All the peo ple of the State, ami this means for every segment ofthee< >no my," Neipis said. "I'm sure that city people, a great many of whom depend on trade with rural people for their living, must realize that anything that hurts the rural people eventual ly hurts the city people, too." Nelms noted that "government in this State has grown so big and expresive already, and cer-? tainly will keep growing. It would be a major tragedy if North Carolina doesn't have the balance of power in the Legislating to keep her grow ing government on an even keel. "We don't want to see our ship or State founder either to the left or the right. We want it to keep a middle course." President Nelms urged all the voters .of Franklin County to vote for the Constitutional Amendment on January 14. t Neutral Washington, D.
