'TRY AGAIN?. . .With Income to
the General Fund running about
20 million dollars ahead of ex
pectations, it looks as we wilt have
do new taxes in Worth Carc/lina fof
several years.
In fact, 'the Democrats — no
doubt anticipating the surplus —
in session here a month ago put
“no new taxes” as one of the' offi
cial, planks in the .platform.
However,- the State-owned col
. leges arp bursting at the seams
with the War baljies (born 1941-46)
which couples brought along in an
effort to keep hubby out of the
v < draft.,
So, we will -probably try a bond
issue — if the Legislature of 1963
will set the Stage for it — again
during the Sanford administration.
Whether it will pass, of Course,
remains to be seen. y
The extra money we are’ now
getting from taxes — and are ex
pecting to get for years to come —
, will be enough to pay back with in
terest the money we will: borrow
, if the bond vote is accepted.
•r RIGHT TO SPEAK . . . Snice we
have two sons — ages 19 and 22—
we know whereof we speak of the
dangers of driving among the teen
P agers.
And, beginning on Ji^ne 1 past,
the liability insurance alon^ on our
two cars, my 1950 Pontiac and our
1960 Ford, jumped to $263 #er year!
Because our boys are under-25,
the insurance is sky-(iigh already.
But how we have gone int& as
signed risk and it’f like
root. No'end to it, it seems: im
agine our having to spend—in all
—about $300 per,year in insurance
alone to keep two cars (the total
value of which is less than $1,500)
on the road. ]'
It is ridiculous and preposterous!
READY . . . So, as for us and our
household, we are now ready to
support, all-out as they say, any
experiments on more rigidity for
drivers 16-18.;
You should be' ready, too.
We would like to see the Legis
lature push the age to begin driv
ing to 17 for a two-year study. If
it has good results then raise it
to 18.
Because the teenagers seems to
be pretty much ip charge, we dopbt
that it Will be done; But it might.
Most teenagers we know are en
tirely too big for their britches
and need to be taken down a peg
or two. .
THE TRAIL. . .We still^cannot
quite grasp' the news value of tihe
Burch-Brewer thing. We read ev
ery newspaper in North and South
Carolina and most of the big dai
ly papers of all the southeastern
states. In all of them, it has been
big news from the beginning.
As the various parties moved
along the trail ... or prepared
fqr it.... .we stuck our head id the

*s Food Gifts
1961
Uncle Sam gave away a billion
'and a half pounds of food in the
nine month's since last June — B7
per cent more than for the same
period of fiscal 1961.
The increase resulted from the
Department of Agriculture’s efforts
to- use more of. the nation’s agri
cultural abundance to help school
.children and the needy. In March
of this year, 7.4 million needy
folks received food from; USDA,

Besides the rise in this nation,
the government gave away more
