ASKS WHO NEEDS EDUCATION
IMHO NEEDS EDUCATION?
To the Edifor:
wvny talk about the schools do-;
Ing a better job of educating the
children (editorial on testing in
the schools, current issue) when 1
your newspaper itself is so filled i
With misspelled words?
-Examples in this editorial are
“Strctly,” ‘ofr," and “erall” (for
“■eal”). And. Uufe is only the toe-1
ginning! Don’t you have a proof
reader?

INTEGRATION NOT ASSURED
To the Editor:
• Let me point out dbaUbe-Cknp
fl Hill Hekool fioard bas net com
mitted itself to integration next
year as the. representatives of the
Ministerial Association would
have you believe.
... On the contrary the Board
is going to let the courts decide
the only integration case it now
has before it. The policy adopted
for the future actually goes no
farther than the present policy
—decide each case on. its own
anerits. I'itfU not-igealoxig for or
against Integration. But the facts
need to be-£epl-stnight on. this

(Editor’s note: The letter is
literally correct in that the
School Board’s nhw policy is
permissive toward first grade
re-assignment applications„(pre
sumably Negro), on which it
would “took with favor.” The
emoting N. C. Pupil Assign
ment Act would encompass
this. But several individual
Board members have publicly
favored the implementation of
the reoenUy-adopUd pokey to
which the monsters have re
ferred in their statements.)

LT. GpVERNOR . . . Last week
David S. Coltrane, Assistant Di
rector of the Budget, sent up a
trial balloon as a . possible candi
date for lieutenant governor. Coi
trane, now 66, is eligible for re
tirement, and is in a good position
to take a fling at the State’s num
ber two position.
for 22 years, Coltrane has been
serving the. State. Jh 1837 when
Kerr Scott became Commissioner
of Agriculture he named Coltrane
Assistant Commissioner, a posi
tion he held until Scott resigned
in February,, 1847, to run for gov
ernor. Coltrane then was named
to fill out the 11 months of Scott’s
unexpired term.
When Scott becamo governor,
he called Dave in to be his As
sistant Director of the Budget.
•Seott broke with Coltrane.when
the latter supported Umstead
rather than Olive for geeereor
in 19S2.
Scott dismissed him from of
fice and had his pay cut off, but
Coltrane refused to leave, and
was named anew as Assistant Di
rector of the Budget by Umstead,
and also by Hodges. -Coltrane is
an able and well-informed man
and should poll a good vote if he
takes the plunge for the number
two spot.
GSM* *4*W0N . . . Another
prominent 3E*r Heel whose -name
you will likely hear mentioned .as
a possible candidate for lieuten
ant governor within the next Jew
weeks is that of former Senatqr
R- -Grady JRankin of Gastonia.
Rankin is,$8 .years of .age and
generelly regarded as a conserva
tive, and .should he cun he would
be ,expected to have the becking
of. the conservative wing of the
nemeeretic party. .Rankin is an
able fuun and will probably cut a
wide swath if he runs.

SAFARI TO EUROPE . . . Many
people feel that the .trip to Eu
rope, billed as “Industry Hunt
ing,” will be a most enjoyable
journey, but those who feel tbat
it will mean anything so far as
industry coming to North Caro
lina are quite -few indeed.
However, the taxpayers are
not footing tho bill, so no ob
jection from this rabbit hollow.
We are sure that those who go
will be ablo to provide some
