Parker, presented by Howard
Daniel, spoke briefly on the
value of athletics, and the part
that athletics play In the
development of character and
leadership.
An athlete Is respected and
looked up to, particularly by
young people. This gives him an
opportunity to set an example,
and engenders confidence, Par
ker said.
Athletics teaches self-dlsci
pllne. This began In the first
training session and continues
through his or her career. The
discipline engender here, Par
ker said, proves invaluable all
through life.
Athletics teaches maturity,
Parker continued. It gives a
boy or girl a sense of belong
ing, a sense of worth, a sense
of service, and has been re
sponsible for keeping many boys
and girls In high school who
otherwise would have been
drop-outs.
Athletics teach sportsman
ship, Parker said. I'hev teach
a boy or girl to fight hard
for victory but to accept de
feat without bitterness and in
loss to keep their tempers.
Athletics engenders a sense
of self - confidence, without
cockiness, a sense of self
respect with no place for de
featism, Parker concluded.

In North Carolina?.!'
after a swim, beer is a natural
On a hoc summer day, a dip in a cool stream can be wonderfully
refreshing. Equally refreshing when you're relaxing aftervards
with friends is a heart)- glass of beer. There's hardly another bev
erage around that suits what you do for fun as much as beer.
Camping, hiking, or just lounging on a lawn chair?beer brings to
each just the right touch of extra good living.
Your familiar glass ofteer is also a pleasurable reminder that
we live in a land of personal freedom?and that our right to enjoy
beer and ale, if we so desire, is just one, but an important one, of
those personal freedoms.
In North Carolina...beer goes with fun, with relaxation

Keep North Carolina Growing!
Richardson Preyer believes that farming is a source of strength to our future. To
grow and prosper, he proposes:
1. Establishment of a new tobacco research facility in North Carolina.
2. Full ?irto'. supports for tobacco farmers.
3. Increased research into crop yields, fertilizers and food processing tech
niques to help bring more canneries and food processors to the state.
4. Growing more food for our own people to close the food gap?the annual
billion dollar cash loss to other states to pay for food we do not raise ourselves.
5. Paving more farm-to-market roads out of Preyer's 300 million dollar road
bond issue to help raise farm income, and attract industries that want conven
ient outlets for their products.
