SLAGLE'S GROCERY Black Mountain mttkbm» Sen. Erwin Says: j WASHINGTON—As this year passes into history, some review of the events which dominated Congress seems in order. The year began with the chief issue being whether Congress would enact tax reduction legisla tion, and as the year went along civil rights legislation achieved prominence as the co-equal issue. The fact that both of these issues are still pending as bills before the Congress demonstrates the May each day of the new year bring you much happiness.

Farm legislation was predicted to he difficult to enact, and it proved to be. The principal actions in this area came with the enactment of the Feed Grains Law, and House passage of the Cotton Bill. Foreign aid came under i heavy Congressional fire as firm support for improve '■ ment of this program came from the Clay Committee’s recommendations to the Presi dent. Personally, the vote on the ratification of the nuclear test ban treaty proved to be the most difficult decision which has confronted me dur ing my service in Congress. There was tragedy, too, as a stunned Senate recessed to await the news from Dallas on November 22. In the twinkling of an eye, John F. Kennedy, a former colleague in the Senate, was dead. On the day of Senate Tributes to his memory, I was impress ed by the words of his bro ther, Senator Edward Ken nedy, who expressed the feel ing of the Senate and the country when he said: “The Senate, for him, as cwKwwvviMWirinMKicinntKI 1 To all our many friends and neighbors we send greet ings and best wishes for ’64. * ^ r-tlT3*- ^ •964 ^ ^ WILLIAMS BROS.

BEACON MANUFACTURING COMPANY SWANNANOA, N. C. - ■- i.aaaaaaaaaaiaaaSiaaasiaaSiSiaa HODGES VS SANFORD? — As of the end of December, 1963, the race for the Demo cratic nomination for Gov ernor of North Carolina in 1964 appears to be a tight, three-corned thing, with Dr. Beverly Lake. Dan L. Moore, and Richardson Prcyer good for about 200,000 votes each. It is very, very close. Where it is coming from we could not tell you, but the rumor in Raleigh is that money is flowing into the Lake camp at the rate of about $2,000 per week. This was a weak point in the Lake campaign for many months. However, this has apparently been corrected — and then some — and it will all be . needed to keep up with the money bags said to be in the possession of Moore and I Freyer. So, it will be a happy year for printers, newspapers, radio and television stations . . . and to anybody in the political advertising business. Whoever said “money makes the mare go” no doubt had reference to the political bandwagon and the horses that pull it. Now here’s a hint to you bench-sitters who care noth ing except to be on the side of the winner —• and there seems to be more of you each election—you’d better be a little slow this time about taking sides. Preyer has the strength of the administration behind him; Dr. Lake on a recent Friday night, despite basketball competition, tele vision. and with no free feeds, attracted around 700 people to a meeting in Rocky Mount; and Dan Moore has on his side some of the most-skilled vote-getters in the state — honorable leaders, too. So, since you’d rather be caught dead than switching, our advice is to take it easy for a few days yet. The con siderable strength of Luther Hodges seems to be swinging it is for me, is the symbol of how Americans can resolve their differences through reason, instead of violence.” Reason, scholarship, and ideals were trademarks of the late President. I remember him also as a strong, brave young man—one who carried to his grave injuries received during World War II and en dured through the years; one who offered his life for his country, first in war and again in peace. The first offer was refused. Ironi cally, the second was accepted. I remember him for his gal lant personal victory over physical disability, and I re member the standing ovation he received from his collea gues when he returned to the Senate floor on crutches in 1955. I remember his vital ity, his wit, and his fine mind. As a public servant, I re member him as a sophisticat ed, polished statesman who could nevertheless communi-j cate and identify with people of every station. He was a man of rare eloquence, strong conviction, and great courage. I remember him not only as a political leader who met with the great issues of the age, but also as one who re kindled interest in the arts, renewed concern for our na tional heritage, and increased respect for scholarship. Perhaps our greatest leg acy was his dream. As we re flect upon the old year, it aas a special meaning. Once le stated it thusly: “I be- * ieve in an America that is m the march—an America re spected by all nations, friends md foes alike—an America shat is moving, choosing, loing, dreaming—a strong America in a world of peace.” THE Accurate Complete News Coverage ^Printed in BOSTON LOS ANGELES LONDON 1 Year $22 6 Months $11 3 Months $5.50 Clip this advertisement and return it with your check or money order to: The Christian Science Monitor One Norway Street Boston, Mass. 02115 PB-15 I 49 heavily tn Moore. But, on the other hand, far-reaching de velopments are in the offing for Richardson Preyer. And. remember: Dr. Lake will go into the race with about the same mass strength out thcr" he had in 1960. It’s a nellie bar-the-door situation right now'. To coin a phrase, then, look before you leap—and. it isn’t always the early bird that gets the worm. THE GIFT — This backward boy from out on the edge of town wasn’t doing well in school. He decided he would take a Christmas present to his teacher. On the last day before Christmas holidays, he got to school early, went straight to his room. There, holding up a paper bag, he told his teacher he would give her three guesses as to the gift he had brought her. She looked at the bag he held and guessed apples. “No, teacher”, he said, “i’t ain’t apples. You got two more guesses.” She then squeezed the bag slightly and said she was sure it was grapes. “Wrong again”, said the boy. “Now you ain’t got but one more chance.” The teacher then softly touched the bag underneath. She found it wet. Delicately touching her finger to her tongue, she said: “Oh. I know, it’s oranges.” “No, it ain’t, teacher. Wrong again. 1 brought you a little puppy!” ON JAN. 14 — This odd thing we have before us on Jan. 14 as to whether a county can have only one person re presenting it in the House here in Raleigh — or to have two, three, or four, accord ing to the population of the county — is a hard-fought battle. While the big, populous counties are naturally against any plan which would pull their House strength down tr that rf the smallest counties, the little counties seem to he fighting harder than the bm ones. They could win this thing. If they should, little Cam den out "from Elizabeth City, would have the same House power as Guilford county (High Point and Greensboro). Forsvth county (Winston-Sal em),' Mecklenburg (Charlotte). Wake county (Raleigh), or Buncombe (Asheville a n d Black Mountain). The bis counties nave enough votes to defeat the so-called I.itt’e Fed nlnn on Jan. 14. but as of right now i'e small ones, led bv thn Farm Bureau and certain old time lobbyists, seem to have the edge bn organization. It’s strictly an oddball set-uo which shouldn’t be up at all. In shorL 1964 is going to be hot all the way through, with the first match hitting the flame only a few days hence and the last one sched uled for early November. WILL NEVER KNOW —Now that another hunting season is almost gone, it would be interesting to know who killed the biggest deer taken in North Carolina this year. Well, don’t laugh, but it could be none other than J. Marse Grant, editor and bus iness manager of the Biblical Recorder and a man not given to guns. About a month ago Editor Grant was heading towards Charlotte on Highway 49 and was not too far from the Yad kin river. He was moving along at about 50 miles an hour when what to his shock ed eyes should appear, but this huge deer. Right out of the darkness and solidly into the front of his car. He tells friends that he hit it pretty nearly “head-on”. Just how big was the deer? Was it doe or buck? Well, we think it was a buck. But we will never know for sure, for grant did not stop; but went straight to his work. Did not want to become in volved. Anyway, he was de lighted to find his car dam aged only slightly. However, he did r.ot even look into this aspect of the accident until he reached his destination. Baptists can find more things to meet up with these days — .
