Max Gardner, .Fames Boyd, of Southern Pines, well known author, told The Pilot yesterilay the* gist flf letters exchanged by Mr. Taylor and himself. These letters reveal the fact that Mr. Taylor’s program to date is merely a starting point for the work ing out of a plan to make North Carolina a better place to live in, that there is at jiresent ao “Ten Year F’lan” but the nucleus of an organiza tion to evolve a plan. In a letter to Mr. Taylor Mr. Boyd said in part: “It goes with out saying that in a crisis like ours, any measures proposed should receive the most careful scrutiny. For unless demonstratably sound, they are bound to be positively harm ful, at the least by raising fal.se j hopes, and at the most by interfering with the normal pi-ocesses ,of recov- 1 ery.
