NO BILLBOARDS
(Roidsviile Review)
There will be virtually no ad
vertising billboards along the
length of the Ohio Turnpike when
it js finished. In so deriding, Ohio
followed the lead of Pennsylvania
I and New Jersey who decided
i against billboards when their sup
er highways were built.
From a standpoint of safety the
decision to do without billboards
is a wise one Moving along at
high speed, a driver needs to be
alert and attentive at all times.
Billboards are distracting and dis
traction on a highway can mean
j tragedy.
It is also true that large adver
tising signs detract from the nat
ural beauty of the country
through which the road runs.
Scenery often attracts tourists,
but if the view of the scenery is
marred by billboards, tourists will
find another route to travel where
they can enjoy the natural beauty
marijuana, and driving under the
influence of drugs).
2. Series of recommendations
for improving the administration
| of narcotic drug-control and re
j luted matters.
3. Amendments to state mm
inal codes affecting prosecution.
4 Sports Bribery bill (to im
i pose penalties severe enough to
[deter bribery by tile "tin-horn
I sport” who has infested the sports
] scene).
Water Resources: "Careful
study ovc r a period of 15 years

SUBTLE SIGN
(Tom Fesperman. Charlotte

One of the smartest bits of ad
vert!: inc; I've seen in some time
was a large sign on lop of a truck
going down E. 1th St. the other
afternoon.
Truck was carrying a load of
concrete blocks
The big sign said: "No termites
in this load.”
BUM TEXAS STEER
(Rocky Mount Telegram)
The Texas Longhorn boosters
aha rudely tried to get travel in
formation out of a band of Caro
lina looters from Rocky Mount
en route to the football game at
Chapel Hill last week got steered
the wrong way. In fact, the local
folks are wondering if the party
from Texas ever got to see the
game at all.
The traffic was heavy this side
of Durham, the local fans report
ed and they were considerably an
noyed when a car in behind kept
running up against their car. Fin
ally the local driver stuck out his
head, as drivers will do, with a big
question mark on his face and
some ready language on his ton
gue.
"Howdy, neighbor!” roared a
Texan from beneath his ten-gal
lon hat and the words fairly drip
ped with the Texas version of
North Carolina moonshine,
which wmy is it to the stadium?"
"Just follow us." came back the
Rocky Mount driver, "and we’ll
lead you right up to the stadium.”
Well, the Texans kept right on
bumping the Rocky Mount car
and the local citizens were becom
ing more aggravated than some
what by the time they started
skirting the City of Durham.
Then, a bright idea hit the Rocky,

TOO RISKY
(Beatrice Cobb. Morganton
News-Herald)
A political campaign always
brings charges and counter charg
es—the more personal and bitter
as the campaign period gets hot
ter and draws nearer a close. The
present one is no exception to the
general rule, with the difierci ce
being that it warmed up and the
charges began to fly earlier than
.usual. It appears that any man
who “gets into politics" must take
the risk of having his character
assailed. I have no particular
candidate or office holder in mind
in this observation, and am neith
er accusing nor defending any
body. I often wonder why any
man (or woman) could bring him
self to run for public office, the
tendency of the general public be
ing to tear candidates of the op
posite party apart, often appar
ently “limb by limb." I am le
minded of a rnr,. *;mc friend who
lived in in Eastern Caro
lina. His friends nad been urg
ing him to run for a county office
and he held .out steadfastly
‘■Til never run far office.' he told
m.
1 stole a Utile dog. I was too
young to know what stealing
meant, and though my mother
made me return it. after giving
me a good dose of “hickory tea."
I know- that political enemies
would rake up the episode and be
fore the campaign is over they'd
almost convince me I was a thief
who should even at this late day,
be serving a term in the peniten
tiary instead of tunning for of
fice."
I am of the opinion that one
reason few women offer as candi
dates lot office is that the average

NO PLACE LIKE THAT
(Harnett County News!

and certain: North Carolinians are

any place known as "Ignorance.”
