I have been and I am still an

lie to support any program alter
I am thoroughly convinced that

More Industry
i With the turthcr development
ol (he Morehead City Port Termin
Jl in the neai future I deem it
proper and necessary that a prog
ram be initiated at oncc in Carteret
county to endeavor to bring more
industry to this locality which
would mean more jobs and a higher
standard of living for all of our
people.
"We have in eastern Carteret
one of the most progressive and
promising sections in the state for
the production of truck crops and
in the west some of the finest to
bacco producing soils in the coun
try, not to speak of the other a.l
vantages in producing livestock
poultry and other commercial
crops wluch would make tor a
better living for our farmers. I
?hall count it a pleasure to serve
in any way possible that will fur
thcr the development of agricul
ture and unite our fanners for one
common good for all.
"Since a great number of our
citizens of Carteret county obtain
a livelihood through the fishing
ndustry and arc continuously
having problems to be coped with,
it is the duty of each county of
ficial to be on the alert at all
times and render in any way possi
ble. service Uiat will help make the
fishermen a more prosperous peo
ple.
"In the event that I am elected
to this important office, it will be
my policy to carefully and conscien
tiously consider all problems that
affect - our county financially and
strive to get the most possible for
each tax dollar spelt."
