Program chairman Bud Dixon presented state senator Luther Hamilton Sr., who spoke on prob lems he expects to see come up in the state legislature this ses sion. Judge Hamilton said that the tax structure, and school program were sure to come under fire in the session. He noted that one of the biggest problems in the state was the lack of interest in politics on the part of young people. The judge said that public ini tiative is necessary if the state hopes to continue its program of industrial development. He said that public interest was just as important as favorable legislation in developing the state. Heart Fund Chairmen Named Jasper Bell, Morehead City, and Mrs. James Potter III, Beaufort, have been named chairmen for the 1957 Heart Fund Campaign in the two towns, according to W. C. Brewer Jr., North Carolina Heart Association field representative. The North Carolina Heart Asso ciation will conduct its annual fund raising drive from Friday through Feb. 28. The campaign will reach a peak on Heart Sun day, Feb. 24, with a door-to-door collection conducted by local Heart Fund volunteers. "I am proud to have been select ed to head the Heart Fund drive because 1 think the heart-disease problem is the leading threat to the nation's health, and most de serves the support of the people of our community and our nation," Mr. Bell said. "The heart diseases accounted for more deaths last year than all other causes of death combined. Moreover, one in every 16 persons in the United States suffers from a heart or cardiovascular ail ment," Mrs. Potter added. "With the stakes so high, each of us has the responsibility to serve our Heart Association actively as a volunteer, if possible, and certain ly as a contributor to the forth coming drive." Research is the primary weapon in the attack on the heart problem, Mr. Bell pointed out. An average of 40 per cent of all funds raised by Heart Association* throughout the country last year was allocated to scientists and scientific re search. he (aid. "More knowledge about the heart and blood vessel diseases has been gained through research in the past 30 years than in the preced ing 30 centuries," Mrs. Potter con tinued. "But we still do not know the exact mechanisms that cause hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure and rheumatic fe ver, the three disorders that arc responsible for 90 per cent of all heart disease. "Progress in finding answers to these unknowns depends upon re search, which, , in turn, depends upon your support," the Heart Fund chairmen declared. Holds Temple Office Harvey W. Smith, Beaufort, has succeeded Herbert Ruffln. Raleigh, as captain of the guard, Sudan Shrine Temple, New Bern. New officers were chosen at the winter ceremonial Thursday at New Bern. "DSA winner could not select anyone of Jaycee age to receive the award. The Community Service Award has no age limitations such as the DSA, which requires its recipient to bo between 21 and 35.

WILL HAIL UN Tour Delegate I have Just returned from ( tour of UN Headquarters in New York City. Eighty-nine North Carolina women made this tour sponsored by the Home Demonstration Clubs of our state. We were privileged to see the UN in action, and I would like to share with you my experiences, impressions, and general informa tion. My first view of the UN head quarters was awe-inspiring. United Nations Headquarters, the nearest thing to a world capital yet achieved by man, rises from an It acre tract in the heart of New York City. This tract is bounded on the south by 42nd Street, on the north by 48th Street, oq the west by what was formerly a part of First Ave nue known now as United Nations Plaza, and on the east by the East River? and its stream of traffic hidden beneath a cantilevered pro menade and landscaped gardens Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive. The complcx of structures which form this headquarteri, set agalaat the green of trees and grass and gardens. Is made up of the low domed General Assembly Building, with Its great meeting hall, the tall glass and marble workshop of the Secretariat, the long rec tangle on the river side given over largely to conferencc cham bers, and? to the south and west? a Library. Former Slum Region We learned that this area, now occupied by the UN Headquarters, was at one time i region of slums, slaughter houses and breweries. It was in 1946 that Warren R. Aus tin, the Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations, made the important an nouncement to the Assembly, that John D Rockefeller Jr. an Amer ican philanthropist and financier, had offered $8,900,000 to buy the East River site as a permanent home for the United Nations. Within 36 hours from the time of the announcement, the offer was accepted. The city of New York acquired and gave to the UN the remaining land needed to round out the headquarters site as it exists today, and also deed ed over the streets and the water front lights along the East River. New York City has also con tributed m million to a Joint im provement program. So far, all buildings have been completed, the grounds landscaped and the streets widened to take care of traffic. Wi entered the building from one of the seven nickel-plated doors that lead to a lobby, open to the 75-foot high roof. The clean, modern lines of balconies and sub dued lighting produce a peaceful effect that isn't found in many of our places of worship today. Aims of Design The main entrance is at the north end of the Assembly Build ing. and is of marble and lime stone. The planners of the UN Headquarters had two purposes. The first was to design the best working space. The second, to achieve as beautiful a group of buildings as possible within the limitations imposed by the money available. They also planned for the convenience of the persons using the buildings. The United Nations, a name giv en to ft by the late Franklin D. Roosevelt is made up of six pnrts or organs. The largest and most important is the General Assembly. This great body discusses every matter within the scope of the charter. AU member states are equally represented in the Gen eral Assembly. Than, there is the Security Coun cil, composed of five permanent members, a representative each for China, France, United King dom, OSSR and the United Statea, See TOUR, rage t ' County car owners and home^ owners, like everybody else across the nation, had to dig deeper this month to pay the man at the ser vice station and the man who sells them fuel oil. This is the third week since the major oil companies announced a one cent per gallon rise in the cost of gasoline and fuel oil. While one or two service sta tion operators held their price at the old level, most upped the re tail price of gasoline one cent. Motorists can pay anywhere from 27.9 cents per gallon at the low cost gas stations, to as high as 38.9 cents per gallon for the gas touted as the very best. Sales Stand Pat Fuel oil distributors and gaso line retailers contacted by THE NEWS-TIMES yesterday said that a decrease in sales did not fol low the price rise. One service station dealer in Beaufort commented that gasoline sales are always low at this time of year. "I don't believe they could get much lower," he declared. Gas station operators who did not go along with the one cent in crease (and they arc rare) are absorbing the higher cost of the gallon. The margin of profit for the ser vice station operator is in the neighborhood of 4 cents a gallon. The extra penny being paid for gasoline and fuel oil is money in the pocket of the oil producer and manufacturer. A Morehead City oil distributor said yesterday, "The distributors certainly aren't get ting any of it." Tax Totals 11 Cents The total tax being paid on a gallon of gasoline these days is 11 cents. J. Morton Davis, Texaco dis tributor, said that there was no indication that price of oil pro ducts would go down if th^ Suez Canal situation clears up. He com mented that once a price goes up, it (dually sttys. Mr. Davis said that the Suez ! problem and United States' ship I merit of more oil abroad affccts our reserve supply, but at present the oil companies are producing I more than enough gasoline to meet demand. He added, in regard to the price rise, that he did not kn??w wh ... "the long-term intention" of the oil producers is. T. T. (Tom) Potter, Sinclair dis tributor, said that price rise did not cause a drop in sales, but he predicted that sales would drop "if the price keeps going up." Most of the major oil compan ies increased the cost of their mo tor oils during the past six months, and those that didn't took the op portunity to do so this month. If a motorist uses a tankful of gas a week? perhaps 16 gallons? the new price rise will increase the amount he pays for. gasoline by about $8 32 a year. If a man heat ed his house last year with a thousand gallons of kerosene, he will be paying $10 more for that same amount of kerosene this year. Living Costs Up and Up And the line on the chart that shows how much it costs John Doe to live, creeps higher and higher. Sen. Kerr Scott, North Carolina, on Friday introduced in Congress legislation to Investigate the gaso line and fuel oil price rise. He said the increase "strongly indi cates . . . that the large oil com panies are taking advantage of the public." Meanwhile, brethren and sis tern, you foot the bill and prob ably will be doing so for some time to come? Congress to the contrary. Fire Alarm Installed At Morehead City Garage Mack Edwards, engineer in charge of the Morehead City fire alarm system, announces that a new fire whistle was installed at the city garage on Fisher Street Friday. The alarm was put there instead of at the new fire station, because firemen felt it was more cen trally located and could be heard over a wider area.

Mr. Crowe had been in Phoenix, Ariz., where he was called due to illness in his family. He told members of the club about his experiences on the trip at the Thursday night meeting at the Hotel Fort Macon.

Miss Margaret Herring, district field supervisor of the State Com mission for the Blind, introduced Miss Louise Weeks, who works in Carteret, Onslow, and Pender Counties. Miss Weeks teaches the blind to read, do housework, and make a living through handicraft. She told the Lions that their contributions had financed an op eration at Chapel Hill that same day.

May, manager of the coun ty ASC office, announces that farm ers may begin signing up for the acreage reserve phase of the Soil Bank Friday morning. Mr. May says that tobacco pay ments will be based on 18 cents a pound, using the normal production of the farmer's land as a determin ing factor. Minimum payment it $191 per acre, and maximum pay ment is $293 per acre. A farmer can put as small an amount of land In the bank as he chooses. The most he can put in is 3 acres or 30 per cent of his allot ment, whichever is larger. Cotton farmers may place 10 acres or 30 per ccnt of their allotment, which ever Is larger. Consent Needed Mr. May says that farmers who have been growing their own to bacco will have no trouble signing up for the program. Those who had cash tenants or share croppers must flrat get the voluntary consent of, the parties Involved before they can put tbeir allotted acres In the program.
