oSnSS*0 Br THE PLAN — One of the approaches used in 1961 to do away with exemptions to the sales tax—the project labeled as best in his administration by Governor Sanford a few days ago—may be followed to gain a rigid inspection law for automobiles in the 1965 session of the General As sembly. That old saying, “It’s an ill EULA GREENWOOD wind that doesn’t benefit somebody”, etc., etc., is true af the racial bitterness ex isting in some quarters of Vorth Carolina, too, believe ,t or not. Here is a good example of low it has worked—and may work again: When Terry Sanford be come Governor, he saw he was faced with the problem Telephone Talk D. TIP JOHNSON Your Telephone Manager Dear Fellow Citizens: My name is George. I’m an all-round handyman, and I’d like for you to feel free to use my services for any and all chores, errands, and duties which you may be too busy to per form. Anytime there’s something that needs doing and you’d rather not get involved, you just let old George do it. I'll write to your Congressman for you. I'll also write your newspaper editor or serve on the school board for you. In fact, I'll do anything you're too tired, too preoccupied or too afraid to do. With me around you can be as lazy and as self-satisfied as you like. Or you can just have fun and let the future be hanged. My services are available to you for all the tedious, time-consuming things which you’d rather duck. You haven’t time to vote, so let George do it. And certainly you don’t want to bother with all those messy precinct meetings that pick people and get out the vote. George will be glad to take over for you. And you cer tainly don’t want to take a stand on anything contro versial. Now, you ask, why should you leave important jobs to somebody you’ve never met? Well that’s a reasonable question, so let me put your mind at ease. I’m no begin ner. Maybe I’m not a famous as Khrushchev, but it it hadn’t been for me you’d never have heard of him. And that goes for Mussolini and Stalin and Hitler, too. I made those guys. While the others were saying it couldn't happen, l was busy making it happen. Why do I want to run errands for you when I'm the guy who is really behind all these big wheels? Don’t you see. I just get a kick out of picking Presidents, school boards, running establishment, and countries. Don’t feel like you’re imposing. I'm glad to be of service. How do you think 1 was able to take over and run a third of the world alread\ ? Because nobody else wanted to bother. Oh, a few did of course, but it was easy to name call ’em back into oblivion and get the leaders’ to listen to me instead. After all who picked the leaders? Since you didn't want to bother and said, “Let George do it,” ... I did. Now l”m taking over in a lot more cities and counties in the United States, and I figure it's just a matter of time until I have the whole country in my pocket. I want to thank you for making this possible. Re member now, if there is ever any way in which I can be of help, I’m at your service. You just have fun and don’t worn,’ about a thing. I’ll even do your worrying, too. 1 ( I i 1 1 ( i < 1 i I I I ! i \ t 1 t 1 i c t c c c c. t s t f s' i Sincerely j George P. S. I’LL BILL YOU LATER.

His pre decessor. Luther Hodges, had dodged it one way and another; had finally avoided it in his last legislature by passing the withholding plan for income taxes. This de layed the inevitable by pro ducing two years’ taxes in one year. As a matter of hard fact, Luther Hodges actually was able to effect tax reductions —for large corporations main ly—while he was governor. Sanford had campaigned for Quality Education — and at the same time for No New raxes. In his search for new money, he looked at whiskey taxes, soft drinks, candy bars, an increase in the sales tax from three to four per cent, a doing away with the old >aw, no-tax-on-food This latter finally won out. rhe night it did, reported 3ov. Sanford in a special in erview with Charlotte Ob server reports last month, he saw his broad-ranged pro tram for Education coming nto fruition. He was not responsible for t, but one of the things that lelped put the tax on food vas the legislative whisper hat Negroes were paying ittle or no taxes to send their ihildren to school. A food ax, it was pointed out, ■ Krincr thpm arftlinri to >aying for a large share of he education the stale was >roviding colored boys and 'iris. The argument had a ot of sense to it, most Negro amilies paying no income axes and buying at the store ittle other than food. With victuals now under a hree per cent sales tax, the olored family sending a louseful of children to school s certainly paying its full oad of the money it takes o educate them.

At the table the other evening her father was amazed when she whispered “merci”, explaining to him that she was thanking him in French for passing her the food. “Well, that's Quality Edu cation for you”, he mused. A few days later he was really knocked for a loop when the daughter blithely announced that her class had spent the day working with Plato. He hit the ceiling. This was too, too much — what did his child at the tender age of four know or care about some ancient Greek philosopher? The next morning it was his turn to take the child to school. Glancing at his watch, he saw that he had enough time before getting to the of fice to have just-a-word with the teacher. “What in heaven's name, if you please —”, he began, and went all into the Plato mat ter ... in a few well-chosen words. The teacher let him finish Then she calmly ex plained that the children had not been “working with Plato" —but with play-dough. Oh, my! —And they are still laugh ing at Father around the school.

Never one to neglect business, Cap (Ed. note- Mrs. Johnson’s father) took the little girl to his store every day for a while, sometimes let her sleep at night on a cot in his second floor storeroom near what she recalls as ‘a row of pe culiar long boxes’. Her father told her they were ‘dry goods’, but Lady Bird later learned they were coffins . .
