PAGE 8 TOE DUPLIN TIMES-PROGKEM SENTINEL. MAT M. MM Meet Your Candidate W. A.44Bill" Bartlett Seeks Albert Pope Candidate For Comm Post In First District Fifth District Commission BUI Bartlett W. A. "Bill" Bartlett of Bow den is advocating better roads and more industry in j making his bid for a position on the Duplin County Board , of Commissioners. Mr. Bartlett. a candidate in , the First District, which inclu des the Warsaw-Bowden-Faiaon j Calypso areas, made the fol lowing statement this week in launching his commissioner campaign: "I am interested in working for better roads for Duplin County, particularly for Dis trict I. We still have dirt roads , in District I that our school , buses have to travel. Some of these roads are so narrow in places that it is necessary for the bus to pull into a dirveway to allow an oncoming vehicle to pass. Better roads are es- , seotial if we are to progress in the manner that we would like to. "Also, I am much in favor | of stepped-up program to at tract new industry. We are having more and more of our young people leave the county each year. To keep them here, we have to have good jobs to offer them. Industry is the an- | swer to this problem and to many others such as taxes. The only way to keep our tax from going higher is to get more industries to move in. This will bring more people, more income, more tax money ... but at the same time will help keep our tax rate at the present $1.65 level, or below. Along this line, I heartily en dorse our industrial education program. An industrial educa tion school in Duplin County wfll help to better train our people and increase local econ my." Mr. Bartlett pointed out, "It is my belief that County money diould be spent in Duplin County with local business houses whenever possible. Every b usinessman should have the opportunity to bid on anything that the County has to buy and if he can give as good a price as out-of-county suppliers, then preference sh ould certainly be given the lo cal firm."
