Several Projects
For Development
Officials At Boiling Spring
Lakes Look Forward To
Several Matters Now
Nearing Completion
With Spring seemingly firmly
entrenched, officials at Boiling
Spring Lakes are looking forward
to the completion of several pro
jects now underway.
Most ambitious among the jobs
still in construction is the com
pletion of tlie real estate develop
ment’s 18-hole championship golf
course. Charles Tate, spokesman
for the company, said hopes are
high for play to begin on the
course in mid-summer.
Most of the grading work has
been completed, and workers are
now concentrating on winding up
grass planting and fertilizing of
the fairways and greens.
Mr. Tate also said that Boiling
Spring Lake, largest of the re
sort’s many bodies of water, has
proven to be more popular than
ever with weekend boating en
thusiasts. Completion of the pav
ed boat ramp has added to the
enjoyment of those whose boats
skim across the blue waters of
the lake.
According to Tate, progress on
the Boiling Springs Motel is well
on schedule now, and the modern
hostelry should be open for busi
ness by the early part of July.

Investment by outside capitol in real estate

several million dollars to our taxable wealth dur
ing the past few yearrs.
The type of person who builds a vacation
home or who plans to move in this area for re
tirement is likely to be very much interested in the
I business affairs of our county, and particularly
of the tax valuation and tax rate.
I believe that we must do everything reason
able to prevent eratic changes in our tax structure,
and I believe that the application of good busi
ness practices will make this possible. This I will
endeaver to do if nominated and elected.

FOR CLERK OF COURT
I thank you for the encouragement that I am
receiving in my campaign for tlje Democratic No
mination for Clerk of Superior Court as I travel
about the county. I have seen and have talked
to many of you in person, and I will continue my
plan to visit and talk with as many as I possibly
can before May 26. I will appreciate your interest
and support on behalf of my candidacy.

Seventh District
Export Total $49,000,000
Columbus county and the other
seven of the Seventh Congress
ional District reap $49 worth of
business from the country’s ex
port trade, a release from the U.
S, Commerce Department reports.
In addition, the report points
out, some 3,800 farm workers in
the eight-county District owe
their jobs to exports, or 12 per
cent of farm workers in the
District produce for export.
The summary says six Seventh
District companies exported $20,2
million worth of manufactured
products in I960, principally tex
tile goods and electrical machines.
Sales from farm products to
other countries brought in $28.8
million in the 1960-61 crop year.
The six reporting exporters in
the district provide full-time em
ployment for almost 3,000 work
ers. Exports from these com
panies represent 29 per cent of
their combined shipments for
1960.
The figures, the report said, are
minimurri in that some companies
did not report their exports.
Rating high in District manu
factured products is the Riegel
Paper corporation at Acme. The
pulp and paperboard division
there has a daily capacity of
750 tons of pulp and 300 tons
of paperboard, both of which, the
report goes on, are exported.
The study shows that agricul
tural products provide major sup
No Losses In
_ Twelve Years
Melvin H. Hearn, state director
of the Farmers Home administra
tion, said today that during the
12-year operation of the Farmers
Home administration rural hous
ing loan program in North Caro
lina there have been no losses
on these loans.
The statement was based on
the status of all loans obligated
up to last December 31.
More than $16,700,000 has
been advanced in rural housing
loans in North Carolina, Hearn
said, and principal and interest
payments totaled about $5,800,
000. Of the 16.7 million in loans,
not one dollar has been written
off as uncollectable.
A fifth of all loans have been
repaid in full, the FHA State Di
rector said. Payments of princi
pal and interest on the 1,754 loans
outstanding total $3,318,000, or
111 percent of the amount that
I has become due.
“This is a remarkable tribute
to the financial integrity of rural
families, and their ability to man
age their financial affairs, said
Director Hearn. “Loans under this
program are made onl yto those
who cannot obtain financing from
conventional sources. As a result,
the 2,170 families who obtained
these loans have had to be extra
diligent in meeting their payment
obiligations.”
The repayment on rural hous
ing loan borrowers also is a trib
ute to the judgment of the 273
i county committeemen of the Far
mers Home Administration who
assist in evaluating soundness of
the loans, the State Director said.
“This program provides bene
fits throughout the entire rural
based small town economy,” he
added. “Contractors, small busi
nessmen supply contractors, and
building trades workers all bene
fit through increased business,
j Their stepped-up activity in turn
; stimulates the entire rural eco
(nomy. The approximately $6,000,
000 in housing loans the Farmers
Home Administration will make
available this year is the equival
ent of many new industries in
terms of more jobs and greater
purchasing power.”
each month will be held in May
on the 3rd Monday, May 21, at 1
p. m.
This clinic will be conducted by
Dr. Ralph Moore, an excellently
prepared pediatrician from Wil
mington. This clinic was former
ly conducted by Dr. Ursula An
derson from the State Board of
Health. This clinic is for infants
through 6 years of age.

In a foreword to the survey, I
Secretary Luther Hodges pointed!
out that in 1961 U. S. exports ex
ceeded imports by about $5 bil
j lion which surplus, he said, is es- i
sential to the national security I
| for it helps us pay for our mili |
; tary and economic aid and other i
i commitments abroad.
But despite this favorable trade j
I balance, Secretary Hodges con- |
tinued, the United States has been I
experiencing a deficit in its in- i
ternational accounts. Settlement j
of the deficit has led to an out
i flow of United States dollars and
gold. To reduce this outflow, he
said it is vital that the nation 1
increase its exports. Assuming |
that exports will increase, the j
country will then be in position to
pay for international commit- i
ments without the necessity of
settling in gold.
Included in the report is a
reference to the debate going on !
now concerning the tariff and its
relationship to the European Com
mon Market.
The reference indicates that ad
justments are mandatory else !
we may find ourselves frozen out
of this vast market.”
In the event some demostic pro- |
ducers face damaging foreign
competition which those producers
are not able to absorb, it has
been recommended that the fed- i
eral government help in providing
relief. The reference is to both
industrial and farm producers.
The report quoted the President J
on the subject:
“We need imports if other na
tions are to have the money to I
buy our exports and the incen- ]
tive to lower their own tariff ■
barriers (on our exports) . . .
and to keep a healthy pressure
on our own producers and work
ers to improve efficiency, develop
better products, and avoid the in
flation that could price us out of
markets vital to our prosperity.”

If i am elected to represent the people of

ple, are kept informed as to what is going on in
Raleigh and will also see that you are kept pro
perly informed on matters of public business
