Terry Sanford went to hat again for the Negro. This time the Governor called for more joh oppor tunities for colored people. It was not a long speech the Governor made to the press people at their Institute at Chapel Hill. But it was long enough to make most of the newspapers of the nation the next morning. Chet Hunt ley referred to it. And at least one NBC newsman said the Governor “in his inaugural address call ed for equal job opportuni ties...”. When one hears such an all-out effort at The Top in broadcasting, you wonder how much is correct across the board. The Governor’s statement was popular elsewhere. With the rank and file of the people, it did not go over so well in North Carolina. We heard right much muttering around Raleigh. That was to he expected. GOING TO WASHINGTON —Most of the comment we picked up hinged around the prediction that “Terry’s going to end up in Washington”. Face it: the Governor has the courage of his convic tions. Do you know of another State official who has the nerve to make a sim ilar statement? We don’t. Editors might write of it— but they don’t have to run for re-election. Nobody am bitious to run or re-run for public office sounds off that way. That’s why they are saying of Terry: “He ain’t going to run for nothing no more.” But outside North Carolina they think we have a great Governor. It s too bad that on a lot of issues you can’t be popular Inside North Carolina and Outside North Carolina. It must be one, or the other. REPLACEMENT—Don’t be surprised if Commerce Sec retary Luther Hodges, who will be 65 on March 9, steps down next year. He will be replaced by a former Sears official. Soon thereafter—a round February of 1965— Sanford will join the Ken nedy Cabinet or Court. ONLY THEN—Former U. S. Senator Alton Lennon, now the Seventh District Repre sentative in Washington, complained to a group of North Carolinians in Wash ington last week that he sel dom hears from business peo ple back home “unless we hit a nerve of their pocket book—" Lenon, Wake Forest alum nus of Wilmington, is regard ed as probably our most con servatve and pro-business men in the Congress. That may be the reason he is not more frequently contacted by Business. They perhaps fig ure they should throw their strength in areas where it is more badly needed. “ASK NOT”—One of Len non’s associates from another state paraphrased a state ment, a play on words, made famous by President Ken nedy in his inaugural mes sage two years ago. Said this legislative phrase maker last week: “Ask not what impact this Congress will have on Business but what impact Business plans to have on the Congress.” CARS AND BUSINESS— Sales of new cars in North Carolina for the past seven years have gone like this: In 1956 they totaled 107, 498; in 1957, they were 100, 744. In 1958 they slipped to a sickening 75,462, but in 1959 bounced back to 112, 101. In 1960, they mounted to 119,084. In 1961, they were 108,624. The 1962 sales, just an nounced, were 136,815. That is good business. There is a feeling that sales of new cars in the nation this year may run as high as in 1962. One of the most encourag ing signs—and, believe it or not, Ford and General Motors are glad to see it—is the way Chrysler products are bounc ing back. In this State in December Plymouth sales were 431 against 274 for December of 1961. Dodge, 581 as compared with 276. Valiant, 255 in December and only 182 for December of 1961. So it goes; have you noticed Chrysler stock? FOR THE YEAR—However, both Ford and Chevrolet made huge gains this past December over the same month for 1961. Ford went from 2,078 to 3,253 and Chevrolet from 2,424 to 3, 294. These are all N. C. fig ures. For 1962 as a whole Chev rolet led Ford by 35, 908 to 29,975. The Chewy is hard to head in Tarheelia. In third place was Pontiac with 10,178. The others went like this: Buick, 7,474; Cadillac, 1,823; Chrysler, 1,899; Dodge, 3, 974; Imperial, 168; Lincoln, 300; Mercury, 3,251; Olds mobile, 7,645; Plymouth, 3, 472; Rambler, 5,682; Stude baker, 941; Willys, 63; Cor vair, 4,779; Falcon, 7,665; Valiant, 2,315; Comet, 3,365; foreign, 5,859; and miscell aneous, 79. A FRIEND GOES—For a bout ten years now we have been operating a newspaper clipping bureau in Raleigh. One of the persons who did most to help us get establish ed died suddenly Friday morning. She was Miss Lucille Har ris, who we thought to be a bout 45 and found after her death that she was 57 years old. We had started and had operated Raleigh Clipping Service for several months in competition with her Caro lina Clipping Service, which was established in 1927. Our little competition was not hurting Miss Harris’ bus iness, but Carolina Clipping Service was becoming too much of a burden for her. So, she sold out to us for $1,800—and then did all she could to help us retain clients and to find new ones. We now have customers through out the U. S.

LOWER SWANNANOA COMMUNITY By Rebecca Davidson Macedonia Church News We often express our thank fulness of Freedom of Relig ion in this county so why not really take advantage of it by attending church and re ligious organizations more of ten? The Sunday morning Quarterly meeting message was delivered by Dr. A. C. Cook. He spoke from the sub ject of “The Supreme Head of The Church”. Sunday af ternoon, Rev. Alexander of Black Mountain spoke from the subject "Jesus asks a Question”. We also had Rev. Allen of Asheville visiting. Both of the services were en joyed. Rev. Mack Williams, pastor of Macedonia, his wife and visiting ministers were din ner guests of Miss Annie B. Grant and Mrs. J. C. Laws. Circle Meeting The Young Women Mis sionaries of the church will meet Saturday at the home of Miss Carolyn Daugherty. Preparations a r e being made for a Stanley Party. If you desire to place an order contact Mrs. J. C. Laws and Mrs. Mack Williams. We have members of the congregation who have chos en to sacrifice a standard of fering each month for the building fund of the church. This way they feel obligated to do this. Thinking of all the luxuries we have I think this is a path we could all afford to follow. New Salem Baptist Church Sunday morning services will be held at 11 o’clock p. m. February 10. WASHINGTO N—At the heart of the current discus sion on proposals for a $98.8 billion budget, a $13.5 bil lion tax cut, and a $3.5 bil lion tax increase to offset part of the tax cut is how well Congress is policing ap propriations recommended by the Executive Branch of the Federal government. It will likely be months before the Appropriations Committees begin “marking up” bills to determine the needs of agencies proposing them. It has been suggested by a Senate Resolution sponsored by more than three-fourths of the Senators that Con gress might discharge its re sponsibilities in the appro priations field better if it would establish a House-Sen ate Joint Committee on the Budget. Senator McClellan has offered such a resolution. I was happy to cosponsor it. Already in the field of taxation, there is a highly useful House-Senate Joint Committee on Internal Rev enue Taxation. It provides a ready source of impartial in formation to the Committees on Ways and Means and Fin ance in the House and Sen ate. In essence it expertly an alyzes every Treasury De partment tax proposal. There is, however, no comparable Committee of the Congress to analyze appropriations. The 87th Congress had an unfortunate controversy o ver procedural matters gov erning appropriations bills. There is a need for good re lations between the two bod ies on appropriations. Many have suggested that the crea tion of the Joint Committee on the Budget would iron out some of the difficulties that have arrisen in the past. Congress, under the Con stitution, has the power to make appropriations. The current Federal budget will go to the Appropriations Committees of the House and the Senate. Hearings will bring the requests of each de partment and agency to the attention of the committees and subcommittees. Usually the department or agency has been studying its request for months when it presents its credentials for the budgeted amount. Appropriations Com mittee staffs have a burden some task of assisting in the conduct of lengthy hearings and many feel that they do not have sufficient time to make exhaustive studies on the individual requests pre sented. Thus arises the need for the Joint Committee on the Budget. It would have a staff whose time would be devoted to analyzing the Executive Department’s requests for expenditures. Congress would have its own source of in formation to determine the validity of any proposed ex penditure. With a budget of nearly $99 billion, Congress has the duty to probe deeply into every requested expend iture. The Joint Committee on the Budget would be an effective aid in helping Con gress cope with a multitude of requests from a vast net For The People By Bernadette W. Hoyle Public Information Officer N. C. State Board of Public Welfare A common complaint a gainst public welfare is fraud; yet, in terms of in come tax evasions> racketeers who defraud the government of billions of dollars each year, and deception in the day to day business world, this problem is indeed min or.”—Dr. Ellen Winston, Commissioner Mary was widowed when her husband, a laborer, was accidentally electrocuted on the job. She had four small children, yet for five years she managed to care for her family and make the pay ments on her modest home. Her husband had not been covered by Social Security, and the only money she re ceived after his death was a small insurance check for three months. Finally, her savings were exhausted and the meager in come from her work as a maid would not stretch suf ficiently to provide the min imum needs for herself and her children. She visited the county department of public welfare, explained her situa tion, anil was found eligible to receive an aid to depend ent children grant. She con tinued to work, and because of the small monthly check from the public welfare de partment, the children were able to continue in school in stead of having to stop to go to work. The oldest, a daughter, was graduated from high school, is married, and she and her husband have regular em ployment. The second child, a son, was graduated from college with a B. S. degree in bio logy. Now he is serving a two year hitch in the Army as a commissioned officer. The third child, a daugh ter, is majoring in English in college and plans to be a teacher. While in high school she received a medal for out standing work. At present she is working to save money for her next term in college. The youngest child is a high school junior and is making a fine scholastic av erage. None of Mary’s children has ever been in trouble. The caseworkers who have work ed with this family have praised Mary for the whole some home life she provided for her children ,their am bition and desire to become useful citizens. During one period of about two years, Mary was hospitalized. She received treatment through the Vocational Rehabilitation program and made a success ful recovery. Her children, because of the tax dollars spent on them through the public welfare program, are contributing members of society. Three of them are self-sufficient. The fourth, when graduated from high school, will be in a bet ter position to get a job than if she had to leave school. There are thousands of similar cases in the files of the 100 county departments of public welfare in North Carolina.
