talk about ‘

school funds
i t \
The Democratic candidates for
; county commissioners, speaking at j
Saturday’s County conventual.;
stuck to school financing as the
main issue in their campaigns.
"We're going to have to spend
j money to solve our school prob-1
j lems,” declared Philip Schinhan, j
i who predicted “tremendous new !
j growth for the County." As for
the source of the school money.:
Mr. Schinhan said “We might!
even have to get some of it from
bonds.”
■ i i
Candidate Donald Stanford
; stated “It’s difficult to say how
I we’ll meet our school financing
j needs. I’d prefer to do it out of
: revenue. I oppose bonds, except
when you absolutely have to bor
row. . . . It's inconsistent to a
low-revenue county like ours to
tfiink we can afford to borrow and
pay interest when we can’t afford
to pay for our improvements.”
Chapel Hill businessman Harvey
.'Bennett spoke only to state “H
I am elected I wiH conduct my
duties to the best of my ability.”
The obligation of party loyalty
i was stressed by the fourth candi
date, Hugh Wilson. 'Td hate to j
j see anyone jumping over and
supporting any candidate rn an
! other party next fall.” Wilson said.

Just as predicted earlier, Orange County has become
the primary battleground in the Congressional race, with
the primary election date only 12 days distant. Murdock
support is becoming meic vocal. Kornegay has been in the
area frequently — and says he plans to put in a lot more

REP. CARL DURHAM &
SHERIFF BUCK KNIGHT
. i . fellow Democrats at
county convention . . .
All four or# putting
forth a tremendous
effort.
The old political
fire horse leaped at
the smell of smoke last
weekend. Following his
speech at the County
Democratic convention
last Saturday, Rep. Carl
Durham participated
actively in various mat
ters of party business.
In the governor’s
campaign around
Orange hustings the
most talk is still heard
for Sanford. But this
isn’t to discount the in
calculable gains being
made br Seawell, Lake, and Larkins. Sanford has been
front man from the start. So the other candidates arc cut
ting into his lead.
John Larkin* opened his Orange County headquart
er on the courthouse square in Hillsboro~last Saturday.
Persons attending the Democratic convention were irv
v«»ed to step by ter refreshments after the mooting. (
S.ndy Graham is Larkin's county manager end Mr.' end
Mrs. Dalton Loftin. Larkins' daughter end son-irt4aw,
ara staffing the office.
