That's not as much as Cumber land ($427,726.50), Johns on ($430,- 138.66) or Sampson ($385,452.11), but It will' materially add to the two million of its money which the county will spend.

The state allocation becomes available when applica.lon is made for it, along with building speclfi catons that show how the money is to be used.

The Presbyterian pageant is one of the highlights of the Christmas season in this area. 4-H Achievement Program Is Held Presentation of annual prizes and awards marked the annual 4-H Club Achievement Night held Monday in the Lillington School auditorium when around one hundred farm boys and girts saw new proof of the club motto that it pays “To Make the Best Better.” Winners in the boys division were eight who singled out for out standing work in particular fields. They included Olenn Ballard of L&Fayettq Club for meat animal jpradUctMk in beef... cattle; Stone or LaFayette tor meat jam- Jial production in swine; Richard yrd of i .Bunnlevel for electrical projects; Carson Gregory, Jr. of Coats for dairy projects; Luther O'Quinn of Boone Trail for poul try; Wayne Faircloth of Boone Trail, for forestry; Corbett Parker, Erwin.

But so far it is the only jazz group showing real interest in the State Department’s newly - disclosed plan to help jazz musicians travel abroad with their native American art. The Greenwich Village jazzman said in a tele gram to the state department, “We are ready to go, go, go, man, and melt that iron curtain.” The State Department declined to identify the vil lage cats because it had not yet had a chance to re ply. The real cool offer came to the state department after Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-NY) told of the department’s search for jazzmen to travel abroad un der its special program for spreading American cul ture. In the past, the department has limited the progr&ma chiefly to symphony orchestras, ballets and other long hairs. Officials said they have gotten a batch of letters since Powell’s announcement from people violently opposed to the jazz project. The objectors have ask ed, in effect, whether the department has gone out of its mind. But state department authorities won’t be dis suaded by such squawks from squares. “We still think it is a good idea,” one official said. “We desperately wish we could get a good mixed com bo which would make a trip almost anywhere but Europe.” He explained that jazz groups already are suc cessfully booking their own engagements throughout Europe and don’t need government help. growing beef cattle.

Lodge told the committee: “If an international agreement makes it impossible for a law abiding power •to use them first, even in dire extremity of self defense against a massive agres sion. then that power which is strongest in conventional means of warfare would be immediately es tablished as the strongest military power on ear Ji. And it would still have a reserve of its own nuclear weapons sufficient to strike devast ating blows. “The three democracies of the world, by their very way of life, have traditionally been forced to accept the first blows in war. Thus, they generally concede a great str a’egic initiative.
