Sljr IBarrrn fircnrd Published Every Friday By The Record Printing Company BIGNALL JONES. Editor ? DUKE JONES, Business Manager Member North Carolina Press Association ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN WARRENTON. NORTH CAROLINA, UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenlon, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year, $3.00; Six Months, $1.50 East Needs Roads Governor Charles 3. Aycock some 60 years ago in pleading for better education al advantages for Negroes said, "Let not North Carolina be the first state to make the weak helpless." This remark could well be paraphrased in regard to Eastern North Carolina today in a state highway policy that tends to make the weak helpless. It may make sense to base highway mileage on traffic counts, population density, and other criteria, but its application tends to make Eastern North Carolina, weakened by an agricultural revolution and desperately struggling for factories, even weaker. Piedmont North Carolina may need good road to carry its traffic, but Eastern North Carolina must have better roads to develop its economy. Under the yard stick used by the High way Department practically every modern highway in the state?the four-lane type is to be found in the Piedmont, with only a few miles in the east as a part of an interstate highway program. We find, according to the press, 70 With Some Envy The News and Observer At 89 with 96 trips to court behind him, old man Wisner Balthrop was "shouting and dancing a jig on the sidewalk" beside the Post Office when the police man arrested him for public drunkenness. Mr. Balthrop is a disturbing item in our humanity. Many will feel "ah, the pity of it" about this old fellow. Others will Shake their heads over a society which can think of nothing to do with our Bal throps, young and old, except to re peatedly pull them into court and send them for short stretches on the roads. But Mr. Balthrop is really most disturb ing because at the end of a long and con siderably misspent life he can still dance a jig. Obviously this is a more serious affront to society than public drunkenness. We live in an age much concerned about the tender treatment of our senior citizens. We also live in an age in which, while health propaganda may make it possible for more of us to become senior citizens, it fills us with fears that we may not. In a dangerous time in a variety of ways we are urged to live our lives thriftily and carefully. And here's old man Bal throp who has not only broken the laws but all the rules and is still dancing a jig and almost outrunning a young cop. The judge was wise in turning the old fellow loose. Justice had no therapy in this case. Perhaps next time old man Balthrop is too gay on a street corner he should not be cited to court but given a citation. Maybe he does not deserve our honor but in a world solemnly studying survival he does deserve our "miration." Adam's Legacy San Mateo (Calif.) Times . . There is something of the gardener in all men, as befits descendants of Adam, and wherever they go, however barren the land, they try to make green things grow. It was this instinctive challenge which led scientists at the South Pole station in Antarctica to plant seeds. And there, under the glow of fluorescent lamps And a tungsten bulb, a garden blooms, : bright with marigolds and green with ivy. p The polar garden has become an im portant part of the lonely life at the ^station. As one scientlstrsays. "It'slike * jme, an earthy green smell?you know I mean?" Anyone who has been long without ty knows exactly what he means, sss, when man reaches the moon, of the first tilings he'll do is plant gaiden. The Tuition k Costly [gravating Papa per cent of highway funds of the 5th district being spent in Wake County, and a 30-mile length of interstate highway between Henderson and Durham, im p^.tant to Eastern North Carolina's public which must travel to the education al centers and hospital centers at Durham and Chapel Hill, as well as to other sections of the Piedmont, postponed for years, while more four-lane highways are built in the Piedmont. That is what we find on the west. On the east we find the same policy in regard to interstate 95. This highway is to be completed to Roanoke Rapids this spring, but the completion of the link between Rocky Mount and Roanoke Rapids is to be postponed until 1972, while traffic is to be sent over 301, already described as a death trap. "The traffic problem on U.S. 391 above Rocky Mount is already 'ridiculous* and is expected to soon become 'Impossible," State Rep. Thome Gregory of Halifax stated in a newspaper interview with Charles Dunn at Scotland Neck last week. Gregory maintained that U.S. 301 is the "most heavily traveled road in Eastern North Carolina and is practically a death trap between Rocky Mount and the (Vir ginia) state line." The situation will worsen in the spring when another link of Interstate 95 is opened from the Virginia line to Weldon, he said. This additional traffic will be channelled through Weldon and down U.S. 301 until it runs back into 1-95, he pointed out. In the olden days a town or a section could be made or ruined by the location of a highway. In this modern day a sec tion can be made or broken by the loca tion of the state's highways. Eastern North Carolina needs better highways if it is to develop with the rest of the state, and we feel that the State Highway Com mission's thinking should be adjusted towards this end.
