The veteran congressman^, from •Orange County, Carl T. Durham, whom Scott would like to unseat, 'filed some weeks ago. V “My promise to the voters of the District is that I will work un ceasingly in their interest,’’ de clared Scott in a statement re leased as he filed. “I want to make it clear that 1 am running FOR Congress — not AGAINST Carl Durham, or any* one else who might be in the race. I am running on my record as a man who works hard to get things done for the people whom he rep resents. I did that a State Senator and, if elected, I will continue to do that as a member of Congress. yThe fact is that the four coun ties of the District Alamance, Durham, Guilford and Orange — have outgrown many of the facili ties and services which are sup posed to be provided, at least in part, by the Federal Government. We need more and better Federal highways; we are far behind in the j development of our airports; we need more jobs and greater op portunity for the young men and women we are now educating. If we don't provide our young people with opportunity here, they will seek that opportunity somewhere else. i , - - "3*0 fact is that the District, Democrats Set May Dates For Conventions Democratic Party precinct meet ings in Orange County^ will be held on May 5 and the county ccuMiftntion on May 12. - These, dates wtrC'sel by the State Democratic Executive com mittee at its incctingduring the past week.t "The gatherings in Raleigh SSi in motion Step by step process by which party leaders are chosen and through which cithtirls can have a voice in the leadership and, policies’ of the party at precinct,.I county, state, and National levels.'
