Faulkner Is sued a statement today which he says he hopes will clarify the announcement published in The Franklin Times last Thur sday concerning a listing o f priority road projects for Franklin County. The listings did not contain N. C. 56 from Loulsburg to the Nash County line among the nine top priority projects. Faulkner, a member of the Better Roads Committee, said this was because N. C. 56 had already been approved by the committee and the state I ~ ' ? ? highway department. Faulkner stated, "Some con fusion has resulted from the announcement of the priority list vOf primary road projects for Franklin County.- N. C. 56 from Loulsburg to the Nash County line has been promised by the Highway Commission from regular highway funds. The priority list contains pro jects expected to come out of the Road Bond r^oney." Continuing: Faulkner said, "The Road Committee, feeling that N. C. 56 was already set did not consider It in listing Yarborough To Manage Jordan Campaign Here Edward F. Varborough The Honorable Ed-ward F.

"I am delighted that my good friend Edward Yarborough has agreed to manage my cam paign. He is an outstanding citizen and is highly respected throughout the community, " Jordan said. The Senator said he is in the process of setting up camp aign organizations in all of the counties of the State. "The heavy work schedule 1 have had to keep in Washing ton has prevented me from do ing as much visiting over the state as I would like, so I must depend on my friends In each of the counties to do as. much work as possible be tween now and the election/' Jordan said. The Senator is basing his campaign for re-election on the record he has made since he became a member of the Senate in 1958. He is widely known for the work he has done in water resources devel opment and he is the author of several laws of vital impor tance to tobacco, cotton, the textile industry, and related fields.

Jack Cooper was head of the social hour committee with Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Connie Med the road needs". Faulkner -said a number of people had expressed concern to Mm, that the long-awaited N. C. 56 project was left off the list. .? State Highway Commission Chairman Joe Hunt, In a letter last 0fctober, addressed to Times Editor Clint Fuller, stated, "I Jiave checked with our people and find this project (N. C. 56) Is an approved Fed eral-aid project and that loca tion surveys have been comp leted. It Is now In process of design and in the not, too distant future should go out for acquisition of rights of way". Hunt also stated in his let ter, "This particular project will not be financed from the county's share of the Bond money and will be financed from regular Federal-aid and State matching funds". ?'I can assure you this pro ject will become a reality and that it Is moving along on sched ule", Hunt's letter concluded.
