Frank W. Howell Will Not
Make Race For Congress
After serious considera
tion I have decided not to
continue in the race for
Congress, My sole purpose
in running the Congress
ional race was to serve the
people of my district by ob
taining for them federal aid
and benefits whenever pos
sible, especially federal aid
to schools.
I wish to give two good
reasons for my withdrawal
In the first place, I have
my obligations to my coun
ty. Since my announcement
in the summer many coun
ty projects, for which I feel
responsible in completing,
have been planned. The
school building program
now definitely underway
is something that I have
striven for .since I have
been superintendent. It ii-s a
tremendous task, but one
that I would enjoy seeing
culminated. To me this pro
gram alone means more to
our county than any influ
ence that I might have in
Congress.
In addition to this . pro
gram, the Woman’s College
Summer Program is only
in its infancy. In fact, it is
my hope that this program'
will eventually bring a per- [
manent college to our coun- ]
ty. Also the road building
project and the Veteran’s
program are very closely
cQnnected to our school sys
tem. All the projects mean
Yancey, County’s future;
therefore I would like to
give all my efforts to these
programs.
Another reason for my
withdrawal is that many
well qualified candidates
have come into the race
since my announcement,
some of them near neigh
bors and friends of ours. -
To all my friends who
have urged me to make the
race for Congress I want
to say thank you for the
faith imposed in‘me. I hope
that you have that same
faith in my ability to carry
out the very worthwhile
projects within our county.
