COMING UNEMPLOY
MENT—You can’t get them
to speak of it for publica
tion. but some of our most
outstanding leaders in North
Carolina are fearful of tre
mendous u n e m p 1 oyment
mostlv among colored people
—within the next two years
in this State.
They base their prediction
on:
1. The scathing report on
the evils of cigarette-smok
ing. This latest one, and the
most far-reaching, was sup
posed to be issued during
“the first week in January .
So you may have already seen
it by the time you read this.
2. " The use of machinery in
harvesting, housing, and pro
cessing: of tobacco. A short
ten vears ago tobacco-grow
ing was “hand” business.
However, when it became nec
essary to pay upwards of $10
per day for harvest hands,
the way was opened for mach
ines. Machines have now all
but taken over.
DESPERATE—When the
Industrial Conference meets
in Raleigh early next month,
you may observe a note of
G. T. SHIPMAN .

desperation running through
the entire meeting.
Actually, North Carolina
now has in the works some
big, big plants. They are giv
ing us the once-over. Look
for one of these to be an
nounced before spring. There
will be others. But, as you
have heard before, competi
tion for these plants is very,
very keen; and it seems as if
South Carolina has been get
ting more than its share in
recent months.
KENTUCKY NEXT?—It is
interesting to watch the health
experts go after cigarettes
while whiskey seems to get
more glamorous all the time.
A friend of ours observed
at one of the many dinners
of holidays that virtually
everybody there had at least
one drink before the meal;
and some had several. But,
fully conscious of their health,
the revelers did little after
dinner smoking. However,
word reaches us from Ken
tucky that this good-health
jag 'will finally get around
to bourbon—and that some
of the old distillers are fear
ing it like prohibition.
JUST INTERESTING?—

RUGGED TERRAIN IS NO OBSTACLE
FOR ALCAN POWER TOWERS
mam
A new aluminum power transmission tower which can be flown intact
into remote areas and lowered into place by helicopter is shown during
recent demonstration at Stratford, Conn. Known as the Alcan Dcsicn
Y-Tower tt offers savings in construction of high-voltage transmission
lines and eventually lower power costs to consumers.
Growing demands for electricity
in American communities have led
to development of remote power
rites and a complex network of
iu.erconnected systems. The long
t ansmissi'in lines needed for this
j . n must he built over rugged
tv • >t lor;/ ago, it was neces
■ ' ’■ > c-.rry parts of towers into
a .s and put them together
c . site, a procedure which was
y, fully built aluminum
ta j cc. .gned by Aluminium
Limited can be flown into remote
areas and lowered into place by
helicopters. Ground crews can fix
the towers in place with guy wires
in as little as 90 seconds.
For Aluminium Limited, the ap
plication of aluminum technology
to the electrical industry has been
a natural one; for it operates the
world’s largest privately owned
hydro-electric system to supply
power to its own aluminum smelt
ers in Canada.
The late President was not
a half-way man—110 volts
were not enough.
Writes Watt: “Although we
disagreed with many of the
late President’s foreign and
domestic policies, it is a fact
that he was a man of great
personal charm and possess
ed a keen mind. Jim Hinkle,
former assistant manager of
our Raleigh district, saw both
these traits when Candidate
Kennedy spoke at the 1\ illiatn
Neal Reynolds Coliseum in
Raleigh during the 1960 cam
paign- , , ,
“Hinkle was at the back
door when the candidate left
the Coliseum. People along
the line were greeting Ken
nedy as he moved toward his
car. Hinkle shook hands with
him and remarked, “I thought
your speech was interesting.
Although it was 10:30 p.m.
and he had been on the go
since 6 a.m., the candidate
quicklv caught and responded
to Hinkle’s choice of words.
“INTERESTING?’’ he grin
ned. “I should hope that you
agree with it.”
SIGN—On the front of
this store window we saw in
big black bold type this: “Now
in stock memorial album John
H. Kennedy speeches.” Ef,
as in fame, is fleeting.
CHAMBER PROCEEDINGS
—More and more, the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce is mak
ing itself felt in North Caro
lina.
1. On February 5-6, it will
hold in Washington its third
annual Association Public Af
fairs Conference. Indications
are that upwards of 300
North Carolinians will make
the trek to meet and eat,
appraise at close hand the
new leadership, and listen to
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller as
one af the featured speakers.
a » 1. r* IT CJ
2. On Marcn z, tne u. o.
Chamber of Commerce will
hold in Durham one of its
famous Aircades. This par
ticular meeting, and all-day
affair bringing into Tarheelia
via special plane business
leaders of the nation, is ex
pected to attract a thousand
people from this general area
of the country.
FINANCIAL HELP—Al
though no formal announce
ment of it may be forth
coming for some time, funds
are being made available to
communities wanting to em
ploy full time help to assist
them with their racial pro
blems.
In other words, if your city
or town, or possibly county,
now has a Human Relations
Council, Biracial Committee,
or any other organized group
of this type, it can apply and
receive funds to hire a full
time person and stenographer
to implement this program.
The community will be re
quired to provide offices—and
possibly lights, water, tele
phone,' etc—but salaries will
be paid by the Federal Gov
ernment to assist the com
munity in training and de
veloping job opportunities.
One of the principal stumb
ling blocks toward pleasant
relations between whites and
Negroes in this State is that
business people do not have
the time required to attend
to such edgy and explosive
matters. On the other hand,
the governmental unit has not
had sufficient funds to em
ploy the necessary person to
coordinate the various activ
ities in this field.
Consequently, in a lot of
places we have trouble. Only
in about 25 cities of the State
do we have organized, formal
groups to smooth out the in
tegration problems. If your
community does not have such
a group, it should form one
as soon as possible. And,
when it does, it can receive
substantial Federal financial
assistance for its endeavors.
NOTES—So many financial
institutions are abuilding in
Downtown Raleigh—or al
ready built—that the area is
being referred to as “Wall
Street” in these parts. . . .
Now that Fifth District Rep.
Ralph Scott has decided to
run for another term, it looks
as if Harold Cooley of the
Fourth—and as chairman of
the Agriculture Committee—
our single most powerful man
in the Congress—may be the
only one of our Congressional
delegation to have opposition
—Watch that January 14
vote coming up—it’s tricky as
all get-out—With all the snow'
in Atlanta, New Orleans, etc.,
Raleigh has not had a flake—
only a miserable freezing
rain a few hours before
Christmas.

Reflections
by
GORDON GREENWOOD
Liberty Bowl
The supporters of the Mis
sissippi State University foot
ball team were overjoyed
when they defeated the N. C.
State Wolfpack in the Liberty
Bowl in Philadelphia.
From a student at MSU at
Starksville came this message
neatly written on a Christ
mas card:
“How did you like the
Liberty Bowl? 1 hope you
saw it on television. We
thought it was fine.”
Writer of the message was
my niece, native of Knoxville,
Tenn., but now a student at
Missisippi State.
It was hard to tell just
what she meant by “I hope
you saw it.” I did see it but
hadn’t planned to say much
about it. Guess I won’t go
to any family reunions in
Tennessee or Mississippi for
a while.
The Bowl*
From the alumni office at
N. C. State and the Univer
sity of Illinois at Champaign
came invitations to attend
(at a price) the Liberty Bowl
and the Rose Bowl.
Both associations had spec
ial trains and planes going to
Philadelphia and Pasadena
for the games.
The Rose Bowl affair was
some outing. It included side
trips to Disneyland, Las Ve
gas, and many other points
of interest.
The idle rich who have
nothing to do but clip their
coupons and spend their
money (must have a hard
time deciding what to do and
when. That is no problem
with me.
This is probably the only
time in a lifetime that I'll be
invited to go to the bowls
with two schools. That is
unless Barnardsville High
(which no longer exists) and
Asheville Biltmore College
should be invited.
The Warla»sie*
With only three lettermen
back from last year’s aggrega
tion, Coach Bill Rucker has
come up with a fighting,
fast moving girls' basketball
team at Owen High this sea
son. They have shown im
provement with each game.
Following a practice session
with the girls at the Owen
gym last week, Coach Rucker
watched Coach Ralph Single
ton send his varsity through
their paces on one end of
the floor while at the other
Coach Don Ray was work
ing with the junior varsity
and the ninth grade.
Known as one of the bet
ter girls’ basketball coaches
in the state, Rucker came to
Owen from Rutherford Coun
ty where he was highly suc
cessful and produced some of
the finest teams in the con
ference.
“We are petting pood play
from Terri Rozzell, and Sara
Horne on offense, while on
defense Fay and Kay Patton,
Barbara Johnson, Ann Mad
dox, and Monecca English
have been doing well.
“Joyce Henderson has been
doing a fine job as the No.
1 substitute forward.”
A transfer from the east
ern part of the state, Joyce
has played well on more
than one occasion and will be
pushing for a regular job be
fore the end of the season.
Good Record
Prior to the break for the
Christmas holidays, the War
lassies won four and lost two.
They played their best game
of the season against Chase
High of Rutherford County,
but slipped against Enka and
did not play up to par.
Since most of the Warlas
sies are either juniors or
sophomores, indications are
that Owen will be strong for
several seasons in the lutuie.
Barbara Johnson, out with
an injured leg, is expected
to be back in action within
a week or two, in time for
the mid-season drive.
who is a patient at the
Young’s Nursing home in
Asheville.
Marshall Forney of Los
Angeles, has returned home to

Whittingtons.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Camp
bell and their two children of
Corpus Christi, Texas, and
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rose
boro of Newport News, Va.,

Miss Mildred Kennedy, en
route here from Atlanta, had
to stop over in Winston Salem
due to road conditions, how
ever having a brother there,
she was able to spend a few
days with him before com
ing home to spend the holi
days with their parents, Mr.
and Mrs. James Kennedy.
Just before Christmas, our
hearts were saddened by the
home going of one of our
dear friends, Mrs. Susan Har
bert. She had lived here at
Cragmont for the past 18
years with her daughter, Mrs.
Hattie Simmons. She was a
member of the Mills Chapel
Church, a faithful mission
worker, and mother of the
Church for several years.
Friends will long remember
her for her many kindnesses
to the children of our area.
Funeral services were held at
the Mills Chapel Church with
the Rev. G. W. Boyce of
ficiating.

January 9, 1964
Mills Chapel Church
A full and inspiring day
was observed at the church
on Sunday. The Pastor
brought a wonderful message
from the 51st Psalm, stress
ing the importance of re
pentance and prayer to those
having known God, but gone
astray. He urged all men to
read and study this great
Psalm of Davids, and to note
how anxious he was to be
restored back into God’s fold.
After the message, a can
didate for baptism, Mrs. Bar
bara Logan, was fellowshiped
into the church. The partak
ing of the Lord’s Supper fol
lowed. Immediately after
the morning worship service,
Mrs. Elizabeth Forney, presi
dent of the Rock Hill Mis
sionary Circle in Asheville
spoke with the Women of the
Church on the importance of
Mission work.
She stated that in order
to have a successful Mission
ary in any church, we must
first want to sacrifice, espec
ially with our time. She urg
ed the men of the church to
become active Missionaries re
minding them that Christ and
the Apostle Paul were two of
the greatest Missionaries ever
known.
Following the wonderful
talk by Mrs. Forney, the Mills
Chapel Missionary Circle was
reorganized. Those elected
to serve through the ’64 year
were Mrs. Elizabeth Harper,
President; Mrs. Mary Fortune,
Vice President; Mrs. Maggie
Miller, Secretary; Mrs. Ear

of Greensboro, President of

Cowan said in a statement re

“There is only one way to
