Editorial and Opinion „ And Challenge We oppose the purchase of the former Latta Cooper ative Dairy building by the County Commissioners for quarters to be used by the Board of Education. Such an action was recommended by the Board of Education at its last meeting and both boards made an inspection tour of the building to -determine its suitability. No action was taken. It is our understanding that the building may be had for $15,000 and another $5,000, at least, would be re ; quired to make it suitable for use by the Board. Strangely, our objection is not to spending the money. We think it would be a good buy in many respects. The situation is, however,, that $250,000 voted by the people for a new courthouse is precious little if we are to get the type of building everybody wants, one that will be a credit to the county for generations just as the old one has. The $20,000 which would have to be spent for the dairy building tnjght go a long way toward giving us the outstanding building we want, with suffient space to handle the Board of E“‘ ucation, or some other agency, not now scheduled for the new building. . , If v/e have $20,000 to spend, let's use it to make the new building more adequate, with a beauty and utility to extend its fame to the far corners and throughout the As- for the Latta building, if Long Meadow Farms can no longer operate it profitably, we suggest the Mer chants Association get busy and find a purchaser. Undoubt edly there aremany uses to which the building ca.n be pu which would provide a new business or industry for Hills boro. This is sadly needed and we conceive it is the associ ation’s duty to make the most of this opportunity. Revive Inspection, Please The News finds it difficult to avoid the belief that the 10.40 Legislature’s action in abolishing the motor vehicle inspection program was responsible in part, at least, for the death of .04 more persons in. traffic .accidents^ last A'. 1 .1 fVill in tnp States year than in 1948, and the highest injury toll in the States 1U#tIty certainly is caused for serious reflection that .at least 838 traffic fatalities occurred in 1949 as compared with 734 in the previous year, an increase of more than 14 per cent, while injuries increased 28 per cent, from 7,490 9,597, which was far above the previous high of 7-990 in 193li is noteworthy that in 1948, when the car inspection law was in force. North Carolina won first place in the National Safety Council award contest in the South and was presented the pedestrian safety award. .... Of course motor vehicle registration passed the million mark last year for the first time, and the increase in the volume of traffic would account for part of the in fatalities and injuries. But it must not be overlooked that the strength of the State Highway Patrol has been doubled and o;hqr safety measures taken since 1941 when the tratfic tdll t*as i,2§9, the highest on recotd. Compared with 1937 and 1941. North Carolina made a good showing last year, but the number of fatalities and injuries ought to have been lower than in 1948 instead of much higher. One Opinion ~ Down in . Clinton there will not be cars given away, or “raffled” at a drawing, for a long, long time to come. - “A group of cfvicTeadefs 'decitledThar an easy way-to raise money for the Polio drive would be to “give away a car, by selling chances at one dollar each. _ The idea went over fine, and about 3,000 chances were sold, and sales were brisk, when Judge JL Hunt Parker, holding court in Sampson County, called in the chairman and advised him that the plan of awarding the car con stituted a lottery in violation of a North Carolina Crimma law. Then Judge parker citedj:he chairman Section 14-290, General Statutes of North Carolina. . , After reading the law, the chairman immediately called off the deal, and offered a refund to all persons who wanted their money back. Some 300 people sought refunds, and the remainder kept quiet. ~„ The plan which was being worked in Clinton is well known over all North Carolina, and there are few places but what have had the same plan operated in their.com OTU North Carolina saw Kt to pass a law forbidding such practices, and the attorney general has issucd rulings that such are a violation of the law, regardless for what pur poses they are held. ,, , , j As long as it is a law, then the law should be obeyed. If the people don’t like the law, then it should be Until it Is repealed, those who violate the law are subject to the consequences.__ THE NEWS of Orange Comity Published Every Thursday by THE NEWS.

Iaynolds bases his candidacy for the United States Senate largely on the belief that he can represent the people of North Carolina more in accord ance with their wishes than can the ^present incumbent, Frank P. Graham. Willis Smith, a possible candidate, says that a contest would offer “ a great opportunity for some one who wants to represent toe real view point of most of the people in the State.” This raises the question of how effectively Senator Graham has been representing Tar Heel sentiment and invites, as Al Smith used to say, a look at the record. Since Senator Graham has been in Washington he has come out against FEPC. Do most North Carolinians favor it? In his first speech he delivered an indict ment of Communism in as strong a bill of particulars as we have seen. He made known his desire to see the foreign policy of the United States slanted toward the evolution of the United Nations into a world government of limited powers as the answer to the peril in which the world finds itself; in this he followed by several years the action of the North Carolina Legislature on the Humber resolution. He is also on record as facoring Federal aid to education; much may be said on both sides as to the merits of such Federal aid, but it is certain that it would relieve this State of much fin ancial strain in its problem of educating £*11 the people on limit ed funds, and it may be doubted whether a majority of the people of this State are opposed to it. No represetative can please all the people all the time—and none should—but just werere does the record show that Sen ator Graham so far has done any considerable amount of mis representing?
