Sanford’s New Year Message Calls For Help For Needy Following is the text at Gover nor Sanford’s 1963 <vNew Year Message to State workers ia in dustrial education, welfare, em ployment, probation, surplus food, correction, paiotes. prisons, health, and other Stale agencies: A week ago I saw in Fayette ville a raggedy-clothed boy who had worn his shoes through to the cold December ground. I wonder ed whose job it is to help him and little fellows like Mm. .. V When I was in Laurinburg the day after Christmas. I talked with a little girl rfbo I am sure had not had a decent meal since school was out. Her father hard been let out of prison, but be couldn’t find a job, and I wonder ed why we didn’t have somebody helping him find a job, and if we didn’t have access to help for this child. In several the State. I saw men looking* for work, net, really qualified, and not quite knowing what to do nor how to gel about it. On Christmas Eve, 1 visited one of the prisons, and saw so many who should have been able to stay out of the paths of,✓trouble. In Raleigh recently I talked a while with five boys who had re ceived very little schooling and who had even less ambition. Somehow they had managed to get almost grown , jwithout ever coming across an Idea with enough appeal in it for them to wake up to the challenges 4bd rtebaess of life. I wondered then If our soci ety can afford to tell ap many of young people ao completely. I’m not ao worried about the physical poverty. That is bad eno ugh, but most people can grow out of that. I’m worried about the poverty of the spirit which too often followa physical poverty. Do these children of poverty haw the incentives to grow, and team, and earn, and get something out of life, and give something hack? I sensed the giifbt of the poor more strongly tlida' Christmas sea son than ever before. Maybe it is because of the comparative lux ury I am provided or maybe it is that as we grow Aider the Christ I ' [l VP , MR.

Whatever the cause, I know I am unhappy and discontent about handicaps which keep so many of our children from developing fully and. naturally, and I hope you are unhappy and discontent about this too. We in North Carolina have just oome through our wealthiest year-. We are prosperous as a State. Therefore, I appeal to each mem ber of our government, particul arly those who are empowered to help those in distress, to move now with new dedication. We have so many people who need aid, understanding, assist-, ance, guidance, compassion and concern, or we would not have the j programs you carry on. ; Who can make these programs work effectively? You can. Who, and only you, can take these people and their problems and possibilities to heart? You,! landi only you, can. I know an em payment security worker who | , tackles his job with the attit;ide that all upefployment is his fault. ’ I know an industrial education person who looks .on every unskill ed young person as his own per 3tr.al shortcoming. These are the kind of people the State needs. Tboee in need of help are not just "oases.” These are people. Our people. They need our help. We cannot do the job by sitting down and waiting tor them to come to us. Reach out. Find them. Seek them out. Don’t miss one. I congratulate those many who did dedicated wort in 1962, and I trust all will move into 1963 with a crusader’s zeal. There is much j to be dope. There are many to be helped. Who can help them? You. in the name of a proud, and understanding state. and only you. fei&gftNWM j^pgsssr [ What Others Are Sailing | FROM THE GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS S As the discussion grows, it is becoming more evident that the fight over the change of State College’s name to the University of North Carolina at Raleigh goes far deeper than mere words and the emotions which have been unleashed by them. Scratch beneath the surface •purring and youTl find the abid ing issue of University consolida tion. So far ail official agencies have lined up behind the pro posal to give the three units of the Consolidated University equal university status. Organic chang es are involved: but the out ward fight at least has centered around name changes, quite vociferously at N. C. State and to a much less degree at Wom en’s College. All official agencies, including the Carlyle Commission, the State Board of Higher Education and the Consolidated Univer sity administration, have stressed ‘he reorganization which will! ••aise all University units to truly University status and make sure hat reorganization is effected within the single University frame work. The Board of Higher Educa tion -spoke out in unusually firm language at its Friday /session. Meanwhile the furor over , names, its intensity perhaps more clearly understood here because of the same battle in microcosm on the high school level, has con tinued to rage. There is reason to i believe that a compromise will be : worked out, without sacrifice of j Crisis In Transportation | Americans can be saved billions • of dollars in costs of products they ; use if this nation moves quickly to rescue its vital transportation sys j tern from near collapse, according 1 to railroad leader David I.

The compromise, in fact, could come from the special committee, headed by Tom Pearsall, to which the whole issue has been referred for study and recommendation. There are at least two serious developments which should give all friends of higher education in North Carolina serious pause. I The emotion-packed name issue lis already fraught with political i J overtone, and, for the first time ' a more or less covert campaign ' against consolidation is coming ! into the open. * ' These are the most disturbing , I aspects of a situation which call for intelligent, dedicated leader ship and a marshaling of public opinion to prevent the chaos which we think would undoubted ly result if the state’s university system fen a prey to politics or deconsolidation. Names may not mean much. But Ithey do not mean enough to jeopardize or undermine the ed udational structure which North Carolina has prldefully and sac riftcially built up over the years ( and which stands on the threshold of its greatest service and bright est future if it comes through its present testy crisis. *. We are confident that the peo ple of North Carolina, given all the facts, will rally behind high er education’s cause as they have before and that minor issues, which can be settled, will not be allowed to supersede major de cisions as they affect the future of the state. had the same legal advantages. In 'his article, “The Crisis In U. S. Transportation,” Mackie praises, President Kennedy's re i cent message to Congress which 1 urged “a constistent and compre j hensive framework of equal com -1 petitive opportunity.” ’ The railroads, Mackie says, are i being crushed by competitive chaos resulting from “the juggling of responsibility for our transpor f tation system among a dozen fed eral agencies and 100 state com missions, plus transportation laws that are in such, bad shape they make a decent joz almost impos sible.” In addition, laws applying to competitors of the railroads, Mac kie changes, “are strongly flavor ed with protective benevolence” . that permits huge sections of the transportation industry to operate free of regulation while oompet- ing with other sections that are under rigid government super vision.

Farmers Urged To Make iMeporte To ASCS Office ■rJT n y,> Raleigh With the 1962 Agri cultural Conservation Progrßm closing in Just a few more days, approximately 106,000 Tat Heel farmers have signed up to partici pate in the program, according to—figures released Wednesday by A. P. Hassell, Jr., Executive Dir ector for the Agricultural Stabili zation and Conservation State Committee. Hassell reports, however, that of this figure many farmers have qualified for Federal cost-sharing with the exception of reporting performance of practices which have already d aporoved and carried out. He pointed out that all farmers who have carried out practices should report performance to the nSCS office manager in the coun ty. Farmers who have not comple ted performance of previously ap proved practices were also urged ' By: Jacqueline McConaughey, Color Stylist* Vou may well remember the A dark days when every win dow in the house had pull-down shades. Uniformly, they were an ugly dark green, prone to fade int ® » n «sly light green. When they **‘ A "* ai 3“?sraS disappeared from the room. In those days there was little place for sun shine in the well-kept par lor .. . ar d to w ., leave a bed room shade un drawn was an admission of im modesty. Pull-downs grew scarce as mas something was devised to place their cheerless ugli ness. But, in many ways, the re placements were even worse! Today, however, the window shade is definitely back. But it is a far cry from the old-timer, j In 20-odd different colors, and a I wide variety of textures and pat ) terns, it is fadeproof and engi , neered for use at the window. The newest idea is a series made from white-on-white “Ton tine” washable shade cloth in modems and authentic tradition al patterns, not unlike fine wall paper ov tasteful drapery mate rial. When the light shines J through them, they show a trac ery silhouette of the pattern, and the shades' become a luminous • highlight in the room decoration.

In HasseH’s words, "Conserva tion cf the soil and water resourc es Is so vital to the welfare erf the State that we must do every-thing we can to see that only good con servation practices are carried out on the land." Under this year’s Agricultural | Conservation Program, as well as I the program planted for next year, conservation practices which help to build up and store potential productive capacity in the soil are being stressed. This, Hassell says, is mighty important at this time when thousands of acres of North Carolina farmland are • being taken out of production of i alloted crops. i “Saving for the future has al ways abeen a vood policy,” Has • sell said, "but it’s still . better’ • when applied to our life-sustaining I topsoil.” coatings make them about aa washable as shower curtains.) j “The use of window shades to j make a room prettier, instead of to make it dark, is the biggest forward step in window decora- j tion today,” says a leading au thority on decorating. “The; ; functions of privacy and light control are not lost but now we no longer have to pay for them with blackness and bleak ness.” When darkness does be- ; come important, for instance, | there is shadowproof shade cloth I with opaque layers sandwiched | between attractively colored sur- ; faces. One example is the Tri- , plex series of “Tontine.” An interesting idea for shades i is used in a much-windowed j modern house on a hill in upstate New York. On one wall of glass j panels, floor to ceiling, they used , several window shades of dis — - | ferent colors. ; 1 -j- 1J The appear ance is much “ like a back-* . lighted color-; ! panel Mon- i . drian painting; l There is noj other window treatment... i Which brings us to the most interesting Fyv thing about contemporary use of window shades: You use them, colorful, even elegant, and need nothing else at the window. Also try a window shade with flanking sheer panels. You'll delight in the surprising results.
