ABOUT SPECIAL SCHOOL VOTE
Questions - Answers
Questions submitted to the Citizens Committee
concerning the Bond Issue.
QUESTION: How much will the School Bond Is
sue increase county taxes?
ANSWER: Based on the current tax base of $64,-
000,000, it would take 81.87 cents per hundred doll
ars assessed property evaluation to finance sß,ooo*ooo
in bonds for 27 years at 4V4 interest rate. However,
Davie County has a School Capital Improvement levy
of 12c this year that would be applied to the cost of
this program, LEAVING AN INCREASE of 19.37
cents for the School Bonds for the first year. It
be at least two years before these bonds could be sold
and it is believed that the tax base will be around
$70,000,000, by then and would decrease the amount
needed to finance these bonds.
QUESTION: How much will the Supplemental
School Tax increase county taxes?
ANSWER: This means that the county commis
sioners would b® empowered to levy up to 11c per
hundred dollars assessed evaluation for current ex
penditures for school operations. The S2OO. teacher
supplement would require about 6c and the other 5c
would be used to employ about five additional teach
ers, such as remedial reading teacher, music teach
ers, etc. The full lie may not be assessed until the
cost of the bonds start decreasing.
QUESTION: How much will the total proposed
Bond Issue and Supplemental Tax increase county
taxes?
ANSWERS: Based on the current tax base of
$64,000,000, the breakdown would be as follows:
School Bonds 81.87 c
Supplemental Tax —lie
TOTAL COST .—42.87 c
TOTAL INCREASE 30.37 c

LOCAL CARS AND DRIVERS ARE READY TO RUN SATURDAY NIGHT AT CONCORD— Driving car No. 11 is Car! Richard Reevec,
Car No. 03 is Jerry Waller, Car No. 04 is Buck Corvnell and out in front is David Shorty Nichols in Car No. 02. All these boys haw
worked in their spare time practically all winter getting their motors and equipment ready to start the season. All have had some track
experience except David "Shorty" Nichols who will try for his first run Saturday night. These boys are good mechanics and they have
the know-how of tuning these motors to the right precision, to get the most out of them at the right time. If you notice, the large type
tires give them the traction needed in these oval tracks. The correct shock absorbers are also necessary in racing along with the safety!
requirements, such as steel construction on the inside to protect the drivers. The season starts Saturday night at the Concord Speedway*
Concord, N. C. These cars are powered with bored-out six cylinder motors with all the extras to give them all the speed and perform
ance needed for racing. (By Photo & Gift Shop)

Drug Store
Robbery Is
Charged
Davie Sheriff George E.
Smith said yesterday he ar
rested Melton Floyd Austin,
39, of Gastonia and charged
him with robbing the Coolee
mee Drug Co. January 26.
Austin will probably gat
a hearing in Davie County
court Tuesday. Smith said
the charges against Austin
are robbery with firearms
and safebreaking.
Hoyle identified Austin as
one of the men. Smith said
yesterday. No one else has
been arrestd.
Hoye told officers that he
did not realize the men were
inside the store until he was
already in the building. Hoyle
said the men were forcing
him at gunpoint to go out the
front door when the woman
for whom he was filling the
prescription came through the
door.
The *obbers took pills va
lued at SSO and ripped the
side off the aafe, but did
■not get inside the aafe, Smith
said.

Davie County will be led by
attorney William E. Hall it
was announced today.
Dr. Francis W. Slate has ac
cepted the chairmanship of the
local unit replacing Rev. Fred
Barnes. Dr. Slate said that Mr.
Hall accepted the designation
as Chairman of the 1067 Cru
sade which begins April 1
because of "his deep concern
with the urgency of the cancer
problem."
Dr. Slate also said the new
chairman "is ideally equipped
to lead the 1967 Crusade. He
will bring energy, organiza
tional skill and enthusiasm to
the Society's efforts to save
lives nuw from cancer and to
raise 'funds for cancer re
search, education and service."
In accepting the chairman
ship, Mr. Hall did not mini
mize the cancer problem and
"the hard, tedious job ahead
holds out promise of eventual
complete, control."
He pointed out that if
present rates continue," and
if Davie County is typical, one
out of four of us now alive
will develop cancer. Of those
who develop cancer, two out of
three at present rates, will die
of the disease."
However, he said, "there is
a great potential for saving
lives now through earlier can-

"ONE STOP SERVICE" TO INFORM
AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT AIDS AVAILABLE
Report From Legislature
While many of th« member*
of thf .Republican d"irgatioa
have differing view* on the
advisability of changing the
laws relating to consumption
and sale of alcoholic bever
ages, I wish to make my
position clear in regard to
the so-called "brown-bagging
bill" recently rammed
through the Senate and prais
ed by the Governor for its
"control". This bill in its pres
ent form is completely devoid
of any system of control, and
it would make our state one
of the wettest in the Union,
the only places where drink
ing would be prohibited un
der this measure would be
streets, premises of A. B. C.
stores, places having beer
permits and failing to sell cer
tain amounts of food, and
premises where the owner
places a conspicuous sign
preventing use of alcohol.
Consumption and display
would be allowed in public
parks, city and county build
ings, and virtually every
where within the State.
Consumption, but not display,
would be allowed at high
school football games and oth
er athletic contests. It would

tie of whiskey into n-p
church in the State, aod dis
play and consume it there un
less the church prominently
displays a notice that alco
holic beverages are forbidden
on the premises.
The provisions of this act
would be forced on every
county in the State regardless
of how the people felt about
the problem. The voters of a
community would not be able
to exempt their localities
from oppressive effects of this
act even if every person in
the county were opposed to it.
It is felt that bottle clubs
and other types of places
would spring up throughout
the State where no one could
control the amount of alcohol
a person would con
sume. The only provision in
the proposed law restricting
this would be that a person
could not have more than
eight pints with him at one
time. Is this the type of oon
trol that the Governor has
