A. reported today. The Wachovia North Carolina Business Index reached a pre liminary all-time high of 196.1 in Jl.ly. This is 0.2 percent higher’ than the revised June figure of 195.7. The gain over July a year ago was 5.8 percent. The yeais 1957-59 are used as a base of 100 Bank debits, a measure of busi ness and personal checkbook spending, showed an increase- of 0.5 percent over the June figure. Although this is a decrease in the ; rate of gain since May, which was 4.-1 percent, it is not indicative of ' a trend, Wachovia Economists say. For example, last April’s in- ' crease was 0.1 percent over March, while March scored a 7.G percent gain over Februai-y. j Total bank debits for July were $.5,601,706,000 compared to ^5,575,-! 691,1100 in June.

In July there were 692,300 people oa the job, or 5,300 less than in June. The average workweek in July was 40.7 hours compared to 41 houi-s in July. Consequently, man ufacturing manhours declined from 2.8,601,000 to 28,176,600. Employment in hoi.-sehold fur- ; niture and textile mill products was down in July while employ- ' ment was up in tobacco manufac turing and food and kindred pro- Congressman James T. Broy-: hill announced today the results' of the public opinion poll cn na-! lional issues. As of August 13,’ 1969, a total of 9,747 question naires had bc<>n received oy Con-' gre.ssman Broyhill and' the pres ent tabulation is based upon these expressions of opinion. In addition’ to the “yes" and “no" answers to! the IS questions, thousands of let ters were attached with deailcdl comments on the issues. The war in Vionam is by far' the most pressing issue facing us totlay. Respon.ses to this question indicated that 51.08'/- favored the continued presence of our troops, in Vietnam. The letters and com ments on this subject, however, evidenced growing frustration the ABM svstem showed that people are willing to support measures! that will keep our defenses strong. The most urgent domestic ques.j tions are those involving Federal programs and finances. The Fed-’ eral Poverty Program, according to 66.93'1 answering this ques tion. should not be retained. How. ever, in many of their letters, people said that we need some kind of assistance for those in dividuals with an honest need. In-. ! ducts.

This is the 7th annual poll con ducted by Congressman Broyhi'i since he has been a Member of the House of Representatives. “The responses to this surve.v," the Congressman stated, "have fK-en very helpful to me in as- .sessing the opinions of the peo ple of the 10th District. This sur vey .has opened many new lines of communication between the people and their representative in Washington.” Dewitt Emory's Rites Conducted Final rites for Dewitt Emory, 46, of Shelby, father of .Mrs. Ron ald Leonhardt and brother of Mrs. Buford Pearson of Kings Mountain, were held Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. from Faith Baptist church of Shelby.

Labor Day, Sept. 1. “We brought tlie same setup down here we used for the Rebt-l 400 in .May, but it doesn't work. It .seems like this tnaek has been lying around waiting on us," Al lison remarked, "it’s hot and it's slick. I don’t believe we’ll come close to Cale Yarborough’s recorti of 152.293.” Allison hopped hack in his Dodge Charger and went Itack to work. After turnin'- a couple lap.-; at 147.888 he continued tlie con versation about the Hack. ’T know one thing, if this track i ever owed any driver anything, wife; two sons; four additional daughters; thiee brothers; two additional sisters and two grand childron. it owes a debt to me. It would ti-4Re me pink to lun as giVj' here Labor Day as I did in .\ia.v,’j' ‘he said. Allison was referring to the Rebel -100 when he had 193 lajis of the 291-lap race, only to ha\4 misfortune slap him in tlie fact four laps from the finisli. Allison tangled w'ith winner Lee Roy Yarborc finished the race jiarkec the tunnel wall. "Maybe 1 wa.sn’t suppose'to wim that one, pt'rhaps this old triickj w-as grooming me for higg' things, like the Southern ."lOiJ,’’ HM beamed. Allison finally got his Char Or up to 150-572 miles per IriuV during the tests and he and his mechanic Mario Rossi both a- gn-cd.
