They should demand, as should all Ameri cans, that the Social Security system be propely managed so— that one day the work ng public will not rebel against the sys tem. Even under present bene fits the combined tax on em ployees and employers Will r.se to 11.3 per cent within a few years. Social Security benefits should be adequate but they should not be vulnerab'e to poli tical influences. It might be wise to make a careful appraisal of the system which is not tksge decades old, to see if it provide? real security.” •• • • IVI Fjcsn , TXTttn., . «« crup'e of news items which ap peared the same day recently must have caused readers to bl nk and think One was about a couple of puys who stood in court with smirks on their faces as a reluctant judge had to dismiss murder charges against them because their voluntary confes sions had been made without be-’ nefit of attomevs to inform them of their rights. The other item was the so'emn warning by the secretary of the U. S.

NEWS: "The nat : onal debt will . . . rise to $.136 billion or more, from the present maximum of $330 bill- Raleigh Report By: Ernest Messer North Carolina will go on Daylight Saving Time on the last Sunday in April. There is no doubt about it. Senator Harry Buchan ah, in troducer of a bill to keep North Carolina on Eastern Standard t me, appeared before a Senate Committee last week and asked that his bill be postponed indefi nitely. Me sa d it appeared that the states surrounding North Cari lina were going to go on Day light Saving time and that, since he did not want North Carolina to be a "t'me island” on the Eastern Seaboard, he wanted no action taken on the bill. A similar bill is before the House Comm ttee on Manufac turers and Labor, but it will ion. The avergae taxpayer may be aware of the fact he is already paving fourteen billions a year interest on th>’s debt In stead of heinp in t»>«xe good times, the debt should be slowly decreased. . . . Unt>'l we end the war, it would be prudent to limit soc'al, domestic pro grams. We simply can’t afford both at the same time.” •• 9 • MOOSE LAKE. MINN., STAR GAZETTE: “Everv'-ne eom p’ams about the welfare expense and the way people abuse it but how many of vou have com plained to your lawmakers?” Protect Your Children Against Measles, Says The AMA CHICAGO—Now is the time to have your children im -7 : A -“ainst measles if they have not already received tms protection, says the American Medical Association. Many parents are surprised to learn how dangerous this com: mon childhood disease really is. An estimated 250 American children died from mleasles in 1966. More than 150 suffered measles encephalitis, sometimes called sleeping sickness, or brain fever. Encephalitis frequently leaves children with permanent disabilities, including mental re tardation, deafness, and blindness. Future tragedies can be pre 'ented, because safe and effective measles vaccines are now avail able. In the past four years, these vaccines have helped cut the measles death rate in half. It’s possible that measles could be eradicated in the near future if more parents protected their children with immunization. The AMA recommends that every infant be vaccinated when he is about one year old. All chil dren over this age who have not been vaccinated and who have not had measles, should be im munized now. It is especially important that children in nurseries, kinder gartens, and the first two grades of elementary school receive mea lies immunization. These young- — \ prcbaply be handled in a manner sinrlar to the one in the Senate. Last week the Joint Appropria tions Committee heard the 91st person ask for funds beyond those recommended by the Ad visory Budget Committee. Requests have been made for $249,000,000 more than was re commended by , the Advisory Budget Committee. Bills have been introduced to cut taxes a total of $117,000,000. These Items add up to a total deficit of $366,000,000. But the State Constitution says the General Assembly "must balance the budget” before It can adjourn.

The Agricultural Center will be officially dedicated sometime during early Summer. It will be used by 4-H Clubs and other agricultural groups for shows, demonstrations, meetings, fairs', and for special sales. The 1963 General Assembly appropriated SIOO,OOO to con struct the Center. Buncombe County donated the land from the Airport property. This pro posed SOO,OOO appropriation will complete the project. Rumor has it that the Brown Bag forces intend to legalize Brown Bagging jn time for the Azalia Festival. The Azalia fes tival is scheduled for the week end of April 8. If enough children are pro tected by immunization, measles will disappear. It’s time to get rid of this familiar, but often danger ous, and sometimes deadly child hood disease.
