Development Is Good Investment
We, in Franklin County must
now begin to think as did the lit
tle boy with the $100,000 dog.
He traded it fbr two $50,000
cats. He was, as he so aptly put
it, thinking big. The time for
thinking big on Industrial De
velopment for our area is now.
Raleigh is getting new industry.
So is Wake Forest. More power
to them. We hope they get a
great deal more. But, we are
more concerned with Franklin
County getting some.
To say we want it is not enough.
To send a representative to call
on prospects is not enough. To
have meetings, regardless of
size and enthusiasm, is not
enough. We must exert every
effort, attend to every detail, to
showthatwe want new industry.
We must show we want it and
are willing to sacrifice to get
it, if sacrifice is necessary.
Other communities are work
ing. Every good industry has a
number of places to locate.
There is a limit to the number
that are seeking new locations.
It is a highly competative busi
ness. We need to compete or
close our shop. If it takes ad
ditional taxation, we must be
willing to bear it. Industries
are choosey, as well they can
afford to be. They will not al
ways locate on main street or
where we might want them. We
mustmake available to them the
exact locations they want. We
must also supply these locations
with utilities. If we don't, other
communities will. Theynotonly

Views And Reviews
MARK HATFIELD, Governor
of Oregon:
"The President tells us we
should fly. to the moon, then
'pulls the flying carpet out from
under Apollo and I am not sure
today whether it's A-Okay or on
the shelf. For now, we have a
spatial yo-yo policy."

JR., Under Secretary of Com-,
merce:
"A teen-age girl in Appala
chia has about as much incentive
to train as a stenographer as a
Tahitlan girl has to learn to use
snowshoes."
WAYNE MORSE, Senator (D?
Ore.):
"If foreign aid were submitted
to a referendum of the American
people, it would be overwhelm
ingly defeated."
wil , they are already doing so
Our representatives on town
boards and our county commis
sioners want to do what we^the
people want them to do. This is
our project. It is for the people
and the people must be willing
to have their representatives
invest their taxes in new indus
try and jobs, $o that we the
people, can get the return on
this investment.
Next time you see your com
missioner tell him you would
like for your tax dollar to be in
vested in the future of your
county. Tell him 'to support the
extension of sewer and water fa
cilities to sites outside town
limits. Tell him-, too, that you
as a taxpayer and as a voter
citizen of this county want to get
On with the job of obtaining new
and better jobs and new sources
of income for this area. That's
what your commissioners want.
They want progress of this area.
But, they are representing you.
Let them know how you feel.
Let's get competetive. Let's be
tough when it comes to going
after the things this county
needs. Let's be first in it. We
can, provided, we are willing
to make it first on our list of
community needs.
The time is now. The need is
urgent. The rewards are great.
Let us all exert our influence
and our efforts toward the end
that Franklin County will lead
rather than follow in the field
of industrial development.

There Is often confusion con

f the basic facts:

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
I don't know when I have
read anything in the Franklin
Times more touching and more
tragic than your editorial com
ment on Tuesday o f this week.
Such a pity that such a small
number of our teen agers read
such Important things like this.
I believe If they would take the
time maybe they would wake up
and think, "That so easily could!
have been me."
How our mothers' hearts
yearn tor our fine boys and
girls to be taken care of. Yet
we allow them to drive these
high powered cars at such a
young age. What can we do In
this age when the world Is going
at such a high rate of speed?
I agree with you If all the
cars on the road today could
do no more than forty-five miles
per hour we would all live
longer and have less heart
breaks.
We parents love our children
dearly and we wish so much
something could be done for
them to realize the serious
ness of speeding.
Our hearts go out to parents
like Mr. and Mrs. Powers and
Mr. and Mrs. Watklns and hun
dreds more who suffer the same
broken hearts.
Sincerely,
Mrs. P. G. Murphy
