Punt, Pass & Kick has attracted millions of par ticipants since its inception in 1961. In addition, it has received the enthusiastic support of high school, col lege and professional foot ball coaches across the country. National Football League Commissioner Peter Rozelle describes Punt, Pass & Kick as "our most important youth oriented promotion" and notes that entrants com pete only against other youngsters their own age. Scoring is based on distance and accuracy in punting, passing and place-kicking. Competition begins at the local level on Sept. 30, 2 p.m. at Perquimans Coun ty High School football field and subsequently moves to Zone, District, Area, Divisional and Na tional levels. No entrance fee or special equipment is required. There is no body contact and participating does not impair a youth's amateur standing.

And Southern Railway is growing right along with it. Everybody knows the South is one of the fastest growing areas in the U.S. But what you might not Know is that it now has one-third of the countrys population. If A- .... -i r? .L . ... iNeeaiess to say, we ai aouinem Kanway are happy about all this because each time the South grows, we grow, too. After all, who do you flunk carries the raw materials to the new plants that are part of this growth? And their finished goods to market? In large measure, we do. And, as the South's population grows who do you think brings the things these people need? The cars, the carpets, the appliances, the dothing, the sporting goods and the food? Largely, we do. But, we're not growing just to keep up with the ever-increasing population. We're growing to be prepared for an even bigger South of the fature. According to the federal government, the railroads will get an increase in freight volume of 143% by 1990. And the railroads' share of market will go up by a big 24%. Will we get the lion's share of these i i ?? i_- n ? * increases wnen uiey comer MayDe. dui wnai ever happens, we're getting ready for them by expanding right now. We're putting in a new $43 million freight classification yard in North Carolina. Ws're adding to our microwave communication sys tem, which is already the largest in the South. ? And we're laying double track where one used to be enough to handle: the traffic in the area. So, even though we're growing right along with you, we're also growing ahead of you. Because when the demand is there, we want to be there, ready to serve. M I and Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Baker Sr. in Belvidere.
