' i W . >1 ion Value Of The Interstate System Last vear .jo,qcjp persons lost their lives in traffic acci dents. An additional 1,359,000 were injured with some ioo,~ 000 suffering some kind of permanent physical impairment. According to the National Safety Council, some $5 billion dollars worth of property was damaged. If the giant network of Interstate Highways had been com pleted before 1 <>56. experts estimate 3.^00 lives would have been saved. The Interstate system will serve North Carolina and the nation in many other ways but its principle asset will be greater safety to the motoring public. Imagine driving from Hillsboro to Asheville and bevond without a single stop sign or stop light and without the dan ger of someone pulling off a side road in your path. Imagine driving from Hillsboro to Los Angeles without a single de lay point on your recite. Impossible? Not under the ex pansive. far-reaching road plans on the drawing boards, as well as under construction across the country for the na tion's first coordinated and planned transportation system— the Interstate Highway System. Construction of the vital Interstate system promises to bring autbmobility back to the open road and uncork some, of the trail it bottlenecks now strangling many of onr towns. Hillsboro and this section of Orange County, aside front individual inconveniences wlueh we hope will be adequately compensated for. sta’td to reap untold benefits as the years go bv from the segment of the Interstate system through our boundaries. Closeness to a modern, limited access highway is of particular benefit and a definite encouragement for in dustrial development, according to the long range planners. The sites around the traffic interchange areas where cross ing roads enter the Interstate route will be in greater demand for new industries! housing developments, shopping and ser yiee eenters- . .« — ———& - —. Axe Again Will Not Fall Recently much local opposition was expressed over an nouncement of plans to withdraw the northern bypass seg ment of Highway 70 Iroin consideration as part of the Inter state system and build the four-lane road to the south of town. The belief that this relocation will result in a drastic loss of business for firms on the old bypass we believe to be - wholly utiwatranted. -• , • Of necessity, many of the Interstate locations will by pass or skirt cities and towns. However, the old notion that a controlled access bypass was injurious to the byp;wsed com munity has been repudiated. After a four-laned partially controlled access highway was built several years ago in tlie Piedmont, and opened to traffic , tfie manager of the local c hamber of commerce recently commented. Property values M town and along the bypass have increased considerably. !Sone of the businesses in the affected area has re-located. There has been an increase in the number of stores in the downtown area, and there has also been an incrase in new businesses along the bypass. The bypass relieved congestion in the downtown business district by routing tlrp through traffic around the city. .At, the >uye tithe, it increased local traffic in the. downtown area, thus helping retail businesses. Retail sales have greatlyf.iiitteased Irecause residents from the 'surrounding area cat^ ncm get to th edowmovvu businesses easier and quicker. Traffic accidents have materially de creased, due primarily to the lack of congestion in this area. ' In recent years, California which is a national leader in building limited’access expressways, has made over 20 different detailed studies concerning the economic impac t of suc h highways 011 various urban anti rural communities, both Urge and small. The studies document the same conclusion -reached by the Tar Heel c ity in-the Piedmont—jhe limited "access highway provides superior transportation sefvice re sulting in great economic advantage to the communities in-, voiced. I-and values near the expressways more than doubled, even tripled, in value. local citizens screamed when the first bypass swung around the community, but the axe of doom never descend ed. The results were beneficial to the overall community. As a new era approaches, again the. axe will not fall. caring Ana uinmg It was once said that most of us eat and some of us dine. In a sense, there is a lot to that statement. What is points to is tlte fact that some of us appreciate foods, proper cooking and seasoning, and so on. more than others. All of ns have to eat to live whether we are happy with plain food, prepared with little effort, or whether we are gourmets, appreciating the fine points of tastp and season1 * inS’ „ It. is probably true that those who study the world’s best recipes and know something about the dishes of the great dtefs and the great restaurants, and who appreciate-the var ied possibilities in food preparation enjoy meals more than those who have little time to give to this trend of thought. In other words, those who are interested in the subject get something out of it and add to their enjoyment in life. It is also true thaf we, in the United States, do not have our share of fine restaurants. In Europe, for example, where the preparation of food has been a family pursuit for a number of generations in many cases, the culinary arts and line cuisine are greatly respected and admired. One can get superb service and attention to most minute details and near perfection in many of the fine restaurants of Europe. Americans are too prone to eat in a hurry, swallow it down and get on to Work or some other pursuit. Europeans, on the other hand, will take from an hour to an hour and a lialf, ending up a splendid meal of several courses with cheese and wine, or cheese and fruit. One will find that" with small effort, each day ran he Htade a little more interesting, and a great deal of variety can be added to the daily routine. If you don’t know how to start, buy a couple of cookbooks, preferably one or two des cribing foreign dishes, and begin by preparing several of the recipes yourself. ’ - KIDD BREWER'S (Continued, from page 1) He lost an eye. But the Caldwells still provide the Grange with as vigorous leadership as that pro vided any Grange in the nation. Hard work, night hours, night visits, night traveling, and back to work .betimes the next morn ing, has taken its toll among our fine farm leadership in North Car olina during 1957. IN THE FAMILY ... The pa pers haven’t said so. but the spokesman, Robert Josey of Roan oke Rapids, for the five-man group now undertaking to move out Dr. Harold W. Tribble as president of Wake Forest College, is a cousin of Dr. Walton Kitchen, most out spoken Tribble opponent. Josey’s mother was a Kitchen, a niece of the late Dr. Thurman Kitchen, former Wake Forest pres ident. Mrs, Josey for many years was prominent in Democratic cir cles in this State and. if memory serves correctly, assisted in the M-fated gubernatorial campaign of the late W. P. Horton in 1940— and with various.others, since. . Never, having beea one, we wouldn't know for sure. But it must be interesting to be a Bap tist—particularly in Nor$t Caro lina. BASKETBALL . . When alumni get it in for a president, it’s rough on him and everybody else con nected with the school. Even lit tle things are noticed. Four yeajs ago, when there was another at tack on the WF president, we were attending a State-WF basketball game. This certain player lost the ball several times when officials ruled he mishandled it. A Tribble-supporting Deacon alumnus near us said: ""Yes, even that double-dribble could mean trouble for Tribble.” --„ ' f CHOICE . . . The talk around Baieigh last week was- that tf Luther Hodges could this day name his choice for a successor, it would be none other than Ed win Gill, State Treasurer, former Revenue Commissioner, former representative from Scotland County, and the only true left over from the Gardner regime. He was Governor Gardner’s Good Man Friday. As mentioned here some , time back, he is a trusted Hodges ad visor. Although mostly an ap pointee governmental servant, he can run like a rabbit if necessary. You ' know, he was appointed by the iate W. B Umstead to succeed retired Treasurer Brandon Hod ges. . Well. Wtr. Scott Stalwart Josh James decided he wanted to be State Treasurer. Everybody thought that would be a race, for sure. Edwin GIB ate him up. NoW James is back in Wilmington, where he came from, practicing law. GUI enjoyed that no end. for Kerr Scott's election as Governor in 1948 and forced him out as State Revenue Commissioner. DOLLAR . . . When Fayette ville’s Terry . Sanford showed up for the Kerr Scott dinner here the other evening, our U. S. Sen ator dropped a dollar into San ford’s gubernatorial campaign bat. Significant. Now if Sanford can get about $299,999 more, he will be ready to go. BANK robbery Daddy: "And what did you see while you were in the country.

It is true that Autumn heralds the coming* t»f'Winter Witjti its bitterly cold weather, but the weather of Autumn itse|f is often very pleasant and it usually bring* with it less min t-lum-i he-other seasons. Its greatest offering, however, is the spectacular pano rama to be found in the woods and fields ajong the highways as we see the changes of color performed 011 the dying foliage all around us. A cycle of life is ending and the dormant sea son is setting in. Moreover, the year is drawing to" an end and Autumn seems to be the time for sizing up the accomplishments of the year, its results and maybe even one s life, and the direction it is,taking. In doing this, it is well to be outdoors, near Na ture and in lull view of the miracle and inspiration oljhe. ear.tli and all its beatitv and mystery. * Though the medical hooks do not admit it, many a tor tured soul and many an ailing body and mind can he cured by outdoor exercise mid' a setum to .Vattlre: -IPyott arc over sight and your health is not what it should be, or if life's problems seem to get you down and your outlook on fife is turning sour, take our advice add go for regular.walks in the woods, or make it a point to take’timc off regularh for limn ing or fishing, of some other outdoor pursuit.

Word is go ing around that the #OP Post Office Department in Washington is cracking down where ^yer pos sible on Democratic Poatmgsters to make room for deserving mem bers of the Republican Party. However, this is not strange nor unusual for if the shoe we^e on the other foot the beqjocrats would most likely be doing the same thing. Were it not for the fact that the Democrats hav$5been in control of Congress for all ex cept the first two years of the Eisenhower Administration, piany more changes would probably have already been made. While the Republican Post Office De partment can oust incumbent post masters and name temporary ones ; to,replace them, it is oepessarv to have Senate confirmation be fore a permanent postmaster can be named. The Senate is Demo cratic and W. Kern Scott of North Carolina is a member of the. Sen ate committees on Post Offices and Civil Service. - Chairman of the Post Office Committee is Sen ator Olin D. Johnston of South Carolina. The Man from How Ri ver is not fast about permitting Republicans to be confirmed. And tf the Democrats keep control of the Senate in 1958 as it now ap pears they will-be able to'do, and win the White House in 1960. a good many of the GOP postmaster hopefuls may never get the jobs, on a permanent basis. It is true that postmasters are under civil service and are sup posed to be appointed for life, or until they reach, retirement age. , But when the postmaster is of one party- and the White House is of another party, its mighty easy for the post office'inspectors to find a dozen regulations which are be ing broken. When all are of one party its easy to request that the house be put in order, but when the postmaster is of one party and the White House of another party, getting along together is not so easy. beauty is in their graceful sprays. I killed the loveliest shrub in my garden with what I thought eare* ful pruning, the kolkwitzia which “Norf" Webb gave to me and one of the only three in town. Go slow while pruning but don't let rapid ly growing shrubs take the place.

While it is too early to appraise clearly his analysis and recom mendations, I am convinced that the people are entitled to know what the Administration-' thinks and what steps are necessary to Ret out of our dilemma. To that extent I believe the President is right in taking the problem to the lieople,. I am thoroughly in accord with his desire for strong defense. I only wish he had not waited un til now to take up this urgent busi ness which is so important to our survival as a free people. Defense First Before the full thesis of his pro gram is known we will have to wait until his so-called pep talks to the country are completed. We will also require a careful enuncia tion of his recommendations to the Congress. The general interpreta tion of the Eisenhower approach thus far is that there will be more defense and less butter” tor the United States.
