He placed a sign over the night deposit chute which read: "Out of order. Leave deposit with porter." The customers, with their Instinctive obedience to the print ed word, did exactly that. The porter left for California with $1,100. Would the customers have been so trusting if the porter had spoken his instructions? Would they have followed the orders of an electronic device? The answer is "no." Only the printed word possesses that sort of black and white magic. Long Range Plan For Colleges (Greensboro Daily News) For the first time a long-range planning program, listing needs and funds, has been worked out for North Carolina's system of higher education. Compilations made and projected by the State Board of Higher Education cover the next 10 years. Capital outlay is based on a minimum enrollment of 72,000 students in public and privately owned colleges by 1970; the "probable maximum" is set at 96,000. To provide facilities for enrollment of such a total as the board estimates, appropriations of $90,000,000 from some source, presumably largely bond issues, will be required. While that total at first glance appears staggering, it does not appear so large when broken down by bienniums. Such a rate of ex penditure over 10 years would be in line with what the state has been spending for similar purposes over past decades. The advantage lies in long-range planning College and uni versity boards and administrators are enabled to know what they will have to do and to anticipate funds with which to do it. Lack of planning and piecemeal programs have proved costly in the past. Planning heretofore has been largely con fined to one biennium after another, as each General Assem bly has been concerned primarily with balancing the budget for the period it serves. Continuity and vision have been miss ing under such an understandably shortsighted policy. Long range planning lets every agency involved know how it stands and shape up its programs and building programs accordingly. But along with provision of physical facilities the state's leadership must recognize that buildings and equipment alone do not suffice. Faculties and other trained personnel must be retained and expanded. There is withal a responsibility to leali/e that mounting enrollments face our institutions of high'-r edii!.i' .Mil and that whatever facilities we have must fc"' put to lull- . t and most etfective usage. Along with heavy burdens resting upon state institutions, a t ' * ' n . ) ! i should not be lost. :>s the board of higher education point - i n' . of t!i" role played by private and church related c< 1 1 1 ? ' ' , ? m n wih Carolina. They are expect "d t > enroll 32.000 ->f the board's estimated minimum total college enrollment of 72.000 by 1970. The role that these institutions are playing arid will <?< ntinue to play in the education of North Carolina's boys and "iris cannot be underestimated. Campaigns that are now being conducted, especially among Methodists and Presby terians tor establishment, of new colleges and expansion of old, take on 'added importance and meaning in the light of the state board's long-range cnvLsionment. As the>? facts stare us in the face, adequate provision of educational facilities is imperative. The funds which we put into them represent an investment from which will come dividends of the highest sort, an enrichment which will be left in the lives of our boys and girls, in higher living stand ards, increased brain power, a strengthened enonomy and a greater ability to pay for those services, including education, which a growing, progressive state must have.

ANTS AND BEES Small Town Pace No Longer Slow SIDNEY HARRIS In Charlotte Observer Traveling about, as I do, to many smallish towns around the country, I am constantly surpris ed that so many city people still speak wistfully about the "slow er pace" of a small town. They are harking back nostal gically to the earlier years of the century, when a small town was languid and relaxed. Today, the typical American small town is perhaps the most frantically over organized community in the world. "L don't have time to do much reading, or even take care of the yard properly." confided one .small town businessman to me at a Chamber of Commerce dinner. "They've got me doing a dozen civic jobs." Like most of his fellows, he is working for the Chamber, the Lions or the Rotary or the Ki wanis, the Community Fund, the committee to ?et the bond issue passed for the new school, the Boy Scouts, the traffic safety drive, and a dozen similar activi ties. Moreover, he cannot refuse to serve, for fear it might injure hU bu.-ir.' ss or his wife's social ambition or his children's status with their schoolmates. His pri vate life, as such, is utterly pub lic. Now, o! course, there are many plus vali; . to be found in small town hviuu in terms of space and t ran.- portal 1011 and a kind of security that is not easily obtain ed in the big city. Hut in terms of a "slower pace," there is reason to believe that. the family living in a large metro polis has less pressure, more privacy, and fewer insistent de mands upon its free time. Even the youngsters tend to be drastically over-organized in a small town. Almost all of them are engaged in a vast variety of community projects, which take up most of their after-school hours, and are not conducive t? concentration on their studies. The big city is like an anthill, but the small town is like a bee hive. In the city, the ants trudge back and forth on endless trips to work and to home; in the towm the bees bu/>z furiously around the hive, never getting very far. but not resting very much either. Whichever life one chooses, one is forced to make concessions and compromises. Those who are fac ing a choice, however, should not make it with the delusion that moving to a small town will auto matically grant more "relaxation." Not in the bustling, booster, be with-it year of 1958.
