Local Cost Of Federal Aid Large
New York, May 7? Of the
billions of dotted that are dis
tributed by the Government each*
year through grants-in-aid, how
much is going to FranklinCoun
ty?
What portion of the money
allotted last year, which
amounted to $5.3 billion, not
including what was spent on
roads and highways, went to
the local area?
From a study made by the
Tax Foundation, a non-profit
organization that does research
in public spending and taxation,
Franklin County's share was
relatively large.
During the past fiscal year as
estimated $504,000 was ear
marked for the local area un
der the various grants-in-aid
programs.
As to the cost of this aid,
r
approximately $317,000 of the
total collected locally In Fed
eral taxes represented the
county's contribution to the aid
program.
There was no intention on
the part of the Government to
apportion the $5-3 billion that
was distributed onadollar-for
dollar basis. Some communi
ties got back less than they re
turned in and others got more.
The payments toward the aid
program from the State of North
Carolina as a whole amounted to
$82,000,000. In return, some
$129,700,000 in grants flowed
back to the state and its lo
< alities.
The way the exchange with
Washington figured out, for each
dollar of aid received through
out the state, the cost was 63
cents

Not every area made out that
well. In 19 of the states the
cost was greater than the value
of the grants.
There are more than 50 Fed
eral programs through which
funds are distributed to locali
ties throughout the country.
Among them are public housing,
farm price support, hospital
construction, teacher training,
flood control, sewage disposal
and the acquisition of land for
park sites.
Others are more unusual, such
as constructing a ski slipe and
laying out a public golf course.
All are listed in a 63-page
handbook called 4 ? Federal Aids
to Communities," put o t by the
Area Redevelopment Admini
stration.
It states the nature and pur
pose of each program, the cri
teria * for deciding whether a
community is eligible and the
Federal agencies to which
applications should be sent.

Next time at the local tackle
shop, pick up one of those new
Garcta-Conolon flyrods. Bal
ance it with a good stngle-ac
tion flyreel like the Beaudex,
Landex or Pridex.
My word is you'll never put
the riti down until it's safe in
your tackle collection at home.
Only a handful /of people in
the U. S. can cast a fly more
than 100 ft. One is a woman.
Her name is Joan Salvato, and
she's no heavy-muscled female
Joke of nature. To the contrary.
Joan's about five-four, 115
pounds, and looks more like a
dancer than the world's cham
pion woman caster. Grace,
poise, and rythm are what en
abled Joan to project 161 ft.
of fly line to establish the
world's distance record for wo
men.
The other night I watched Joan
In one of her infrequent per
formances before 5,000 fasci
nated visitors to the N. Y. out
door show. Deftly, effortlessly,
she handled two fly rods, tar
geting both flies with the ac
miracy of a circus trick shot
artist.
Fly casting, almost a lost art,
is coming back strong. In one
1964 "fishing annual," 13 out
3f 43 articles are devoted to
fly fishing. We're rediscov
ering today what fathers knew
JO years ago, that fly casting
Is fun and no rod offers more
sport In taking fish than the
wand-like fly rod.
But there are always dis
senters. Tonkin Cane and his
xiddy of five decades of fish

lutck to decry the rebirth of
fly angling. Bait casting killed

Westward Ho ? A New Salad
A Western saJ .d that's working its way East is this citrus
and onion salad service served on western iceberg lettuce
with a choice of two dressings. One dressing is real mayon
naise thinned with orange juice and the other is a mixture of
sour cream and real mayonnaise. For the salad, use orange
and grapefruit sections and rings of mild onions and serve
on crisp lettuce cups.
Orange Mayonnaise Dressing
1/3 cup corn syrup 1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup real mayonnaise 1/8 teaspoon grated onion
Gradually stir corn syrup into mayonnaise. Mix in orange
juice and onion. Makes 11/4 cups.
Mayonnaise Sour Cream Dressing
1/3 cup real mayonnaise 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
1/2 cup dairy sour cream 1/2 teaspoon sugar
Blend all ingredients together. Chill. Serve over chilled raw
or cooked vegetables. Makes about 1 cup dressing.
To prepare lettuce cups cut core from lettuce head. Hold
cored side up under running water to loosen leaves. Slip leaves
off and drain on absorbent paper. Chill until ready to use.
sport when their bamboo rods
splintered, silk lines molded,
and pressed iron reels rusted.
Some people never enjoy any
thing. Look here, I said to
Tonk and side kick Catgut, we
don't use that kind of fly tackle
anymore. It's either up 1 ft
the attic or in the county mu
seum. Down In Florida I land
ed a 127 -pound tarpon using a
six-ounce hollow fiberglass rod
with a Landex reel. This gear
provides the power and con
trol needed for handling big
ones, yet is light enough to as
sure plenty of sport with smal
ler fish.
Taking up fly-rodding doesn't
mean tossing out spinning and
baltcastlng tackle. Nothing
of the kind. Fly fishing mere
ly adds a new, exciting dimen
sion to angling pleasures. To
day only one per cent of fish
ermen know the joys of the
fly rod. It's a select group of
serious anglers, who want to
get the most of hours on the
water.
Among the problems that agi
tate vacant brains is, "How
high is up?"

Comment On Sports
Baseball
By Pete Frltchie
Washington, D. C.? It's too'
early to see trends in the Ma
jors as definite but there are
hopeful signs that things will
not be a runaway for the Dodg
ers or Yankees this year.
Of course, no one thought the
Dodgers would run away with
it in the National. There is
always a good race in the sen
ior Major Loop. But many
thought the Yankees would
breeze in.
However, the four-straight
loss of the World Series has
encouraged other American
League clubs and even taken
Its psychological toll among
the Yankees. They may come
on and win It but they will
have to do It over the bodies
of several Improved and spirit
ed clubs.
Minnesota Is again tough,
Baltimore Is Improved, as Is
Detroit. Chicago may be Im
proved and is surely strong.
Washington Is greatly Im
proved; Cleveland and Bos
ton may be better balanced.
Los Angeles may be strong
er than last year?though not
a contender as in 1962.
The Yankees aren't yet hit
ting as of old, and Los An
geles, in the National, is hav
ing bad luck and starting pains.
The season Is still young and
much Is yet to develop. But
It would be a wonderful turn
(or baseball if there was a
good pennant scrap In both Ma
Jor Leagues this year. The
American League's attendance
figures, which have sagged In
recent years, are a direct re
sult of a Yankee monopoly In
the Junior major loop.
The .best thing for the game
Itself would be a tight race,
even a new winner in 1964.
In the National, the Dodgers
no longer appear favorites.
They are one of many possi
bles, and that Is the way it
usually Is in the National.
