C., MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 23, 1953 Now that the “first pe riod” of the Daily Record’s contest has passed into his tory, there remain but twen ty four more working days in which contestants bat tling for highest honors can maneuver themselves into position to be the first across the finish line of this close race. In a horse race the Jockey who makes the best "get away” usually has a better than even break with the others for final success—lF his horse has the speed or wind, or whatever it takes, to maintain that lead and cross the finish line first. And. of rourse, It Is the finish that counts! As to all life’s frames be It snorts, business, politics, or affairs of this kind—many “plavers” make a fine start but-with THAT their race is run. 86, no matter where anv or all of the contenders to this subscription race stand at the half way mark no race is ever won. or lost until the finish line Is crossed. Likewise, not one of the leading contenders can afford to slacken their pace and rest on past efforts if they hope to finish "win. place or show." Too easily some con tender might forge ahead with a brilliant show of strength and win the “purse" that might have been theirs. TAKE NO CHANCES Present leaders should be 'writ prepared against any such event uality. They should take no chances of being out-distanced at the finish by merely a. few sub scriptions. It would be tar better to win the prise you mast desire by a million votes more than enough than to lose by a smalt margin. Avail yourself fully, we counsel, of the advantages now afforded to get BIG votes for that reserve power during the “second period” Work and plan systematically, too lttd. . - ' t-. Johnston Group Will Continue Fight To Finish W. H. Lyon, prominent Smithfield attorney who is representing Johnston County interests in oppos ing the relocation,of High way 301, charged today that Dunn groups lay down on the job in its protests. Official protests of the Town of Dunn and the County of Harnett were heard on Friday by three commissioners designated by State Highway Chairman A. H. (Sandy) Graham and the protests were re jected. “With such a feeble presenta tion of good reasons why the high way should not be moved,” point ed out Attorney Lyon, who was present for the hearing, "I can understand how the highway com missioners reached their decision. They probably acted right based on the arguments they heard.” “But,” pointed out Lyon, "with proper leadership and proper or ganization of the forces, the Town of Dunn and the County of Har nett could have proven beyond any reason or possible doubt that the highway should not be relocated, Just as we intend to prove when the matter comes up In Johnston.” He served notice that the people of Johnston County are going to fight the relocation to the finish wnff-ffiatthep* won’t give up the fight. AMAZED AT BPIRIT Attorney Lyon said he and a group from Johnston attended the Harnett meeting hoping to get some held to their fight,, but said they were both disappointed and amaz ed at the lack of fight shown in Harnett citizens. FAILURE “SHAMEFUL" Lyon said he did not mean to be critical, of the manner to which the protests were presented at the Har nett meeting but that the failure of more citizens to appear with the protesting group was shameful. “Instead of having tourist court operators, restaurant men and oth ers with a personal Interest,” poin ted out Lyon, “they should have had other business men, farmers, and scores of private citizens who realize the change should not be made.” He said that In Johnston County fanners were Just as alarmed over the relocation as the tourist court groups. Attorney Lyon cited the Federal road-building law which specifies that the commercial or agricultural interest of a county .should be con sidered in any such project and (Contimed on paga six) BULLETINS BOSTON (UP) The Boston Post said In a copy righted story today that Sen.
