Optimists Favoi Bond Issue The Optimist Club last night passed a resolution endorsing the State Ports bond issue which will be voted on in the November 7th election. The Resolution set forth that the State Ports cause monthly revenue in excess of One Million Dollars to be dumped into the economy of North Carolina. This figure should almost double with the planned expansion of port facilities at Wilmington and Mlarehead City. Many Industries all over North Carolina are now taking advan tage of the port facilities, thus saving shipping costs which they are able to pass on to the con sumer. It was (brought out at the meet ing that of the Thirteen and One half Million Dollars bond issue, about nine-tenths of this would, In effect, be paid by expected pro fits frdh port operations and that shortly thereafter, the state should be realizing a surplus, which, in effect means that rev enues from the port would be paying for the expansion. (RESOLUTION WHEREAS, North Carolina’s Coastal and Inland Waterways represent one of the state’s 'great est natural physical assets; and WHEREAS, North Carolina is recognized as the leading South ern State in agricultural and in dustrial growth, yet state ports’ grow and development lags be hind neighboring states; and WHEREAS, dfuture industrial and agricultural growth is di rectly dependent on the ability to move the products to other sta tes; and WHEREAS, a Twelve Million Dollar initial state investment has grown to a Thirteen and One-half Million Dollar plant and is producing a monthly revenue in excess of a million dollars; and WHEREAS, port growth has reached the point where it is necessary to expand to accommo date present demands as well as close the gap in the lag behind our neighboring states; and WHEREAS, state owned ports benefit rather than compete with Free Enterprise, ■NOW, THEREFORE, BE FT RESOLVED that THE OPTI MIST CLUB OF MINGS MOUN TAIN favors passage of the Thirteen and One-half Million Dollar bond issue to be voted upon on November 7, 1961; and that notice of this action be fur nished to the press media. APPROVED by the member ship this 19th day of October, 1961.

Dorset, pres ident of Christmas Club a Cor poration, announced that tor the first time Christmas Club sav ings have passed the one and a half billion mark. The 1961 Club accumulation will be a huge one billion, five hundred and ten mil lion, four hundred and sixty thousand dollars and checks for this sum will shortly be mailed to cover over thirteen million Christmas Club members by some 8,800 banks and savings in stitutions. Mr. Dorset called attention to (the fact that the members now receiving their checks joined the Club last November and Decem - ber, months that were considered as the bottom of the recession. “It’s evident” said he “that the American people had confidence in the strength of our economy and were ahead of some business and government leadens in an ticipating the recovery. After all it took courage to start a saving's program when not even nation al leaders were sure of the econ omy.” The 1961 accumulation repre sented savings in all 50 states and the average was $112.00 per member compared to $110.00 per member in the 1960 Club. A re cent survey by Club a Corpora tion show that the total will be used at follows. Christmas Purchases 30% Savings and Investment for Future Use 42% Taxes 17 % Year-end Bills 5% Miscellaneous 6% $ 453,138,000 634.393.200 256.778.200 75,523,000 90,627,600 $1,510,460,000 The year 1961 marks the ten th successive year that the Club disbursements have exceeded a Billion Dollars and the 1961 ac cumulation, following the trend of the past several years, is a bout 3.9 percent larger than in 1960.

Student Group Is Appointed Governor Terry Sanford re cently appointed a Student Com mittee for a Better North Caro lina as a result of widespread in terest following his selection of a Citizens Committee for a Bet-! ter North Carolina during the last week of September. Representing Appalachian State Teachers College on this commit tee are Bill Mauldin, President! of the Student Body, Dale Gaddy,: Editor of the Appalachian, and Jerry Starnes, Treasurer of the Student Council. Mlauldin is from Concord, N. C., Gaddy is from! Asheville, and Starnes is from; Candler, N. C. Ail state supported colleges and universities were represented on the committee. Governor Sanford appointed Dr. Leo Jenkins, President of Bast Carolina College as advisor to the Committee and Bill Har riss, President of the Student 'Body at the University of North Carolina, as Chairman of the Committee. The plans of the Committee in clude the setting up in each of the institutions represented of a Speakers Bureau which will con sist of some twenty five students Who will make themselves avail able to speak in the surrounding counties to high schools and civic organizations. A post card cam paign in which each student will toe asked to mail a post card to a friend or parent which stresses the importance of the passage of the bond issue. The issue will al so be stressed on radio and TV. A “(Marathon for Education” in which students from different schools will cany a lighted torch from either end of the state to Raleigh will also take place. Governor Sanford expressed the wish that the bond campaign be only the first issue to be con sidered by the Committee. The record leaves no doubt that steelworkers spend many of their working years with the same company. In 1960 those holding jobs with the same steel compa ny for 10 years or more constitu ted 63 per cent of the wage em ployees in the industry. A record of 25 years or more with the sa me company was held by 15 per cent. Steel shipments for use in ma king containers in 1960 totaled 6.4 million tons. This volume re presented nine per cent of all shipments during the year. '61 Cotton Crop Progress Noted RALEIGH — The 1961 cotton crop in North Carolina has made a remarkable recovery quantity wise and is superior in quality and character to the crop in ma ny other states. It is the 'best cot ton this state has produced in recent years. There is keen inter est in the crop toy cotton mer chants and cotton mill buyers in' all sections of the state. “Favorable growing weather since mid summer and good har vest weather up to now partially accounts for the phenominal re covery and quality of our 1961 cotton crop” is the opinion of F. H. Heidelberg, executive vice president of the N. C. Cotton Pro motion Association. “In late July the prospect for the crop was very dim.” “However,” be added, “good farming practices from the start of the season including selection and use of good seed, proper fer tilization, and excellent boll wee vil control measures made the re covery possible. There is no oth er way to account for the gener al recovery of this crop, and the high quality of it.” The quality of the current crop is reflected in 'both good color and staple length. Sixty seven per cent of all bales classed by the USDA Raleigh office have been of middling grade or above in White and light spotted grade through October 13. The average staple length for the crop up to now is slightly under an inch and a sixteenth. The N. C. Department of Ag riculture Fiber Testing Labora tory report for tWe week ending October 6 shows the level of fineness of North Carolina cot ton to be in the range necessary for the manufacture of high quality cotton products. Reports from Piedmont coun ties indicate strong mill buying. In recent days cotton merchants and cotton mill buyers Who have been indifferent to North Caro | lina cotton in recent years have shown intensified interest in eas tern North Carolina cotton. Sev jeral major cotton mills in the state are presently running cur rent crop Tarheel cotton. Alsey B. Johnon of the John son Cotton Company in Dunn puts it this way, “We have a nice piece of cotton to offer the mills this year." The North Carolina Cotton Promotion Association through its Quality and Marketing Im provement Committee Was taken a leading role in cotton quality improvement in the state tooth in research developments and im proved marketing facilities.
