ranged in age from 11 to 2.S.

RA'I.hn:GH - Governor B«»b
Scott has deslgnatc';1i Sunday,
NV>vember 8, “Traffic .Safety .Sun
day in the Churches of North
Carolina” and asked all the
stale’s clergymen to devote one
day of worship “to the instruct
ion of llieir congregations in the
stuibjeet of traffic satiety’’.
In his sralcment, the Governor
said that wlille traffic safely
should concern all citi-/.<'ns, it
should he a matter tliat e.speo-
ially “shoukl concern tlie clergy
of our slate. These ai-e the peo
ple who deal, day bi day, with
the tragic aftei-math of -the high
way carnage that takes appro.xi-
mately 1,.S00 lives and Ln.lui'es al
most (10.000 men, women and
children in North Carolina each
year,
Scott said that “For the past
two years churches and syna
gogues throughout the state- as
sisted the traffic safety effort by
eoruluellng a traffic safety Sun
day, at which time an analogy
was drawn Itx'tween religious res
ponsibilities and the responsibii-
ities involved in the operaton of
motor vehcles."
He .said helfell participation in
the effort by religious leadens
had contributed substantially to
the fact that the state had fewer
fatalities last jear than the pre
vious year, and that the state s
currently running behind the 1969
fatality figuie
The safety Sunday campaign is
being coordinated by the 'Elepart-
ment of Motor Vehicles, which!
last year prepared and distri^iu- !
ted approximately 8,000 safely |
kits to clergymen Ihrougout the i
state. The department e.stimates
that approximately the same
number of mailings will be made !
this year. Clergymaon will begin !
receiving the kits this week. !
Whitener Speaks
In Hometown

Calling attention to the fact |
that the last three months o'f
the year are traditionally the I
most dangerous, Garrett also re- i
minded motorists that, with the I
end of daylight saving time next j
S.:nday, the volume of traffic
moving alfter dark will increase j
sharply. He urged Iclrivers to pre-!
pare themselves now to exercise I
extreme caution during this ex
tra hour of darkness.
“Two weeks ago," Ganett con-
cl'Kleci, “we were running ap
proximately 100 highway fatali
ties behind the number for the
same period in il969. Now we are
only 60 behind. We can still end
this year with fewer deaths than
last year, but it is going to re
quire a very conscios effort on
the part of the motoring public.
This Department \yiU do every-
thing possible within its means
to save lives on the highw-ay,
BUT only the driver can get the
job done.”
, GASTONIA — Former Congress-
,man Basil L. Whitener, speaking
to a large gathering attending
■'iWhLtener Appreciation Day” ral-
Igj in his home town of Kanlo,
No^rth Carolina, told the audience
of applauding Ocmixrats that the
Republican Administration is kill
ing JiObs in die Ameiroan Textile
industry in order' to eliminate the
import problem.
"Thtife have been numerous
textile iilant closings in this area
since litwt Dew'mtoer,” observed
the popiUar former Congre.saman.
“And sitice June, over 10,700
North Ca,'*)linlans have lost tex
tile Jobs. All of us know that the
textile indufitry is concentrated in
rills area of North Carolina and
that our pople have been hard hit
by these losses,”
Commenting on a recent .state
ment by his pppinent, Whlteneir
asserted; “A (e^ day.s ago I read
l.n several newstpapers that my
opponent has said that 'more ha.s
been done in the past two years
to solve the impoct problem than
had been done in the preceding
ten.’ This is not unlike a quack
doctor treating a ptitient by giv
ing him a lethal shot; the patient
dies and so the disease is no long
er a problem.”
"It would not even be necessary
to have legislation in this area,”
continued the veteran lawTnaker,
“.if only the executive branch of
the government were willing to
take action under authority that
it already possesses. The Trade
Expansion Act, for one, author
izes the President to estabiish
limits upon a finding that tex
tile imports are adversely affect
ing a community, county, or
state.’’
The Agriculture Adjustment
Act also authorizes the President
to take action where he deter
mines that the national security
is being endangered by excessive
importation ot textiles,” stated
Wnitener, who was known in
Washington as "The Voice of the
American Textile Worker.” “'This
policy of apologizing for the fail
ings of a political party is delud
ing to the people. It is not becom
ing to defend an administration
that is bankrupt in the assets of
fighting against textile imports.”
Whitener was a Member of
Congress for twelve years and Is
a candidate for the Tenth District
Congressional seat in the Novem
ber Oneral Election. The White
ner Appreciation Day rally was
sponsored by the Ranlo-Lowell
precincts in Gaston County.

Expert Gives
Some Points
On Camellias
Severe cold often means the
end df pretty camellia blossoms
in North Carolina.
But an extension horticulturist
at North Caroilina State Univer
sity says that this doesn’t have
■to be so.
The hoptiicktituri.st, Henry J.
Smith, says camellia growers can
do two things to increase their
chances of having good blos
soms in -spite of winter cold da
mage
"First, you should be carelful
in selecting varieties,’’ Smith
said. “Second, you should set the
plants In a location that will
give them a fighting chance to
escape winter injury.”
Smith pointed out that camel
lias flower at ditfeTcnt periods,
e.vtending from the fall -through
tile spring. The chances of hav
ing .good blooms are better if a
person selects varieties that
flower in either the fall or in
late winter or early spring. The
objective is to avoid the severest
winter cold.
Some fall-flowering, early-
blooming varities are; Septem
ber -Mom, Dikagura, High Hat,
Marie ^ackleford, Morning
Glow, Mrs. K. Sawada, Are-Jishl,
and Yohei-Haku.
Some medium-early varities
are: Elmpress, White Empress,
Latifolia, Lady Clare, and Pro
fessor Sargent.
Some late-flowering varieties
are: Finlandia, Blood of China,
Herme, Sana Frost, Flame,
Flame Variegated, Elegans, and
Leucantha. 'These varieties pro
duce blooms in late winter or
early spring, ar,d they usually
perform nicely even al.ter the
coldest winters.
Kumasaka, V^ille de Nantes,
Lady Vanslttart, and Rev. John
Drayton flower just as winter
be gins to warm into spring. Pink
Champagne produces blooms
very late in the season.
Smith said that completely
double varieties, such as Pink
Perfection, are usually more sus
ceptible to cold injury than var
ieties with loose petal formation^
Smith had these suggestions
for selecting a place to locate
camellias;
Always keep in mind that
plants locatedi in full sun are
more likely to be injured by! a
sudden cold spell than plants in
a semi-shaded location.

If you are using camellias as

Bast or west exposures are
good iif there are trees, large
shrubs, houses, a fence or wall
nearby to give some shade and
protection.
Camellias benedit if protected
fiXHn winter winds. Such cold
winds can “dehydrate” plants,
causing them to be more suscep
tible to cold damage.
If there are tall pine trees in
the yard, you have an ideal
place for your camellias. 'They
appreciate the broken shaidee,
overhead canopy of protection,
and you have a natural ’’built-in”
source of mulch.
If you have had difficulty get
ting camellias to survive, try
purchasing large established
plants, two or three feet tall,
"^ey often will transplant and
live with greater ease than smal
ler plants, Smith concluded.
