The citizens of North Carolina will have a chance to vote on these ten issues, November 7th. The citizens owe it to themselves to inform them selves and vote intelligently for a better North Carolina. It is well to remember that the is sues are not being offered as a pack age job which has to be rejected or approved straight across the board. Actually 10 issues are to be voted up on, and the ballot is so worded, in line with legislative call for the ref erendum, that a separate vote has to be cast “For” or “Against” each of the 10 issues. Attention is also called to the fact that ca’pital outlay requests were studied, screened and approved by the State Advisory Budget Commis sion, the Joint Appropriation Com mittee and the full General Assemb ly. The individual and collective items were considered as those meet ing the greatest needs and demands of a growing, progressive state. They follow the orthodox pattern of fi nancing capital improvements, not from current revenue, but from bond issues which can be retired from a sinking fund built up over the years. Here are the 10 separate issues: 1. $2,858,000 Capitol Area Build ing Bonds of the State of North Caro lina for construction of needed build ings for State purposes in the Capitol area. 2. $1,110,000 State Training — Turn to Page Ten T •i«X’f#RElN ALL OF ITS GLORY Will .be- an appropriate description of .'£he Pisgah National Forest and Bide Ridge parkway this weekend.

Ranger Ted Seely invites Transyl vanians to visit in this “wonderland of nature”, (Austin Photo) To Hold Diabetic Screening Clinic Next Tuesday There will be a diabetic screening clinic at the Transyl vania county health center Tues day. October 24th, from 10:00 to 12:00 in the morning, and 1:00 to 2:00 in the afternoon. This is not to be a treatment clinic for known diabetes, but a clinic to uncover unsuspected diabetes. The testing will consist of blood test to determine blood sugar levels, and those found to be elevated will be referred to their family physician for follow up diagnosis and care. It is estimated that there are over 2,000,000 diabetics in the United States, half of which have not yet been diagnosed. On this basis, there are approxi mately 200 diabetics in this county, with perhaps 100 of these so far undetected. Since diabetes is a hereditary condition, relatives of known diabetics should have periodic examinations. Diabetes in the adult may 9tart at any age, com ing on gradually, but chiefly af ter age 40. Overweight persons are espec ially prone to develop diabetes, if the underlying susceptibility is there. Hence, this clinic will interest those who are relatives of diabetics, those overweight, and those over the age of 40, especially if two or three of these factors occurs in the same per son.
