PLUS .NOR’ni CAROUNA SAULS T.NE TELEPHONE NUMBER 733-5.1dl Tuesday Post Mortem After the votes are counted, the why’s and w'herefores of the results quickly fall into place and are easy to analyze. The Moss Administration had dem onstrated imagination, energy and fore sight and their easy victories were un derstandable. Choice of the sixth member of the board repjesenting Ward V will wait the May 2o run-off between Jonas Bridg es, leader among five candidates, and Ex-Mayor Kelly Dixon. To the May nth winners, congrat ulations. To the losers, remember the old poli' tical truism: that one learns much more by losing than winning. Vote Again Tuesday It’s voting day again Tuesday and a key position on the board of commis sioners, Ward V, is to be filled. Exercise your right to vote at the polls. The polls open Tuesday at 6:30 a.m., close at 6:30 p.m. Graduation Time Some 200 plus high sch/ol seniors will receive diplomas signifying the com pletion of a dozen years of foi-mal schooling June 2. Marriage is around the corner for many, income producing jobs for others and college for some. College should be and could be for many, too. In the days before post Warld War n affluence the great mass of high school graduates did not consider col lege for the financing wasn’t available. In some instances, parents .stretched means tight to assure the children a high school diploma. But the student and his parent must have the will to try. Colleges and universities ai’e com paratively rich in scholarships and loan funds and grants and the would-be en trant who asks has got the chance to get. In congratulating the graduates on their educational acomplisnments, a word should be added, accomplish some more. Top Bowlers , We’re No. 1. That was the message the Herald received from a veteran lady bowler who called to report that Kings Moun tain’s team was winner of the national championship. _ The Herald adds its congratulations and best washes to the team' of Jenny Oates, Lib Bolin, John Billing, A1 Brack ett, and Ronnie Culbertson who were adjudged the No. 1 Mixed t^uintet in the National Duckpin Tournament in Hag erstown, Md.

TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE The heavens declare the glory of God; ana the lini\a,nr,.t .s)tPv:e‘h his handiwork. Psalm 19: White House Salute Area farmers helped earn national recognition in President Nixon’s recent White House .Salute to Agriculture. The President, in a unique tribute to agricultural achievement, said, "Thanks to American Agriculture for making us the best fed, the best clothed people in America; thanks to American Agriculture for providing the basic in dustry that is essential for any nation to be strong.” He cited specifically a 300 percent per man-hour productivity increase for agriculture in the last 20 years, compar ing it \\ ith the 150 percent increa.se re corded by other American industry. This national salute to Agriculture is a salute to North Carolina farmers as well as those in the other 49 states. The President told the Nation that American farmers have proven their a- bility to capitalize on new opportunities and can compete successfully whenever they ha\'e the chance to compete. Mr. Nixon said he is determined to .see that -Agriculture has that chance. President Nixon told the Salute to Agriculture audience; “It is a rule in a free society that whoever proittuces more .s-hould be compensated for more. ’The income pei- capita of those who live on America’s farms has gone up in the la.st 20 years. But in terms of sharing in this increased productivitj', those who live on America farms, those wno produce from America s farms, have not had the rewards from increasing productivity that their colleagues who work in Amer ican industry have had for their increase in productivity. ■" ' “It is that problem that we have been addressing ourselves to. It is that problem in which, of course, we need cooperation among all branches of Gov ernment, the Administration’,' the Con gress, and the farm community, to see that America’s farmers receive their fair share of a dramatically increasing productivity.” Granted that the young man was no political ideologue, but a ‘ le con fused youlh wlio wanted to f 7, first homeland. That a further stay in pr." i would likely not have “reformed” him. That there may have been some short-term political gain in playing to the sentiment of the Italian people who wanted him released; Still, did not the Italian aurhorities set back the cause of combating air hi jackings by releasing Raffaele Minich- ello, the California to Rome hijacker, after a sebnt 18 months in prison? 'The Italians, who aft6r all are sig natories of the international antihijack ing pact, have treated the episode like a romantic opera plot, Christian Science Monitor Which DID Cbfne First?
