PIUJS WORTH OAROIHKA SAL£3S TAX TELEPHONE NUMBER — 739^5441 TOMTS BIBLE VBRBG For the ^Son of .man is come to mve -that which was lost. st. Matthew 18:11. Lure oi Cash The Christian Science Monitor Tues day headlined results of a survey con ducted “States ’in Line at Gambling Window”. Only in five of the 13 have efforts not been made recently. The five “slmon pures” are the two Carolines, Iowa, North Dakota, and Alaska. The reason for the pressure is sim ple: cash. I Reasons advanced by supporters are 1) new sources of revenue, 2)1 argument that organized crime will be foiled by state control, 3) argument that the funds would prevent rate increases in regular ta.x sources. Oops, the Herald believes the Moni tor su^ey team missed on North Caro lina, seeming to remember that the r** cent General Assembly legalized certain types of lotteries, such as ctiurcn and fair bingo and prize drawings. The Herald has not checked with postal officials but it used to against postal regulations to print news stories or advertisements to make reference to pr^e drawings where the price of ad mission or a purchase of merchandise was required to have a chance at (he prize. The Ahoskie Kiwanis club’s deba cle with the Cadillac giveaway long will be remembered. to a way, the legal gambling sup porters use about the same arguments use about the same arguments as the supporters of legal sale of booze. Some years ago the Herald editor was in a social situation with an aide to the Governor of Florida and a former North Carolina gubernatorial secretary. “How,” the Floridian was asked," does Florida manage to get by without a sales tax?" The North Carolinian answered quickly, “They Mve on liquor and dog races.” At the time the budgets of the two states approximated each other The lure of getting something foi nothing is in almost everyone, one way or another, and “the action ”. Even peo ple who had never held a poker hand thrilled to the excitement generated by Steve McQueen and Edward G. Robin son In the “Cincinnati Kid” a movie ol bigtime professional gambling. Natural Gas Shortage The city, as does neighborlidg Shel by, thinks It no immediate dfenger of a natural gas shortage in spite 6f the fact Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corpora tion has been ordered by tile Federal Power Commission to cut its sales in this area by 12 percent. / the same time Transco offered the hope that h will’ have more gas by November with new wells coming on. A.s has been written here before Bill Edwards, the city’s gas engineer says the FPC’s holding too (;ight a lid on the price Transco and other pipeline companies pay producers at the well head. The result has been that produc ers have found more fertile drilling fn the North and Mediterranean seas. With expanding demand, the shortage results. All but one of the city’s industrial gas customers buy under Interruptible service contracts and have alternate sys tems using other fuels which they can employ as th^y sometimes do when temperatures are unusually low and daily loads arc pushed toward new de mand peaks. “If it doesn’t get too cold, we should oe ^e to maintain service to all," May or John Henry Moss commented yester day. US 74 'Hearing Thirteen,of the 50 states permit no legalized ganibling, but efforts to pass gambling legislation have been or are being made in several of have been made. It seems hardly possible that it has been fivb years since the last public hearing on the US 74 by-pass, but it has. After ground surveyors hit a stump- hole In the form of the new part of the golf course at the Country Club, the highway department, knowing the high right-of-way of golf eourseA, re-did a portion of the original route to avoid it, have now got approval on the change from the Bureau of Public Roads, which will pay 50 percent of the cost, esti mated five years ago to cost $7 million. The big aerial map of the former and alternate r({>utes will he posted at 10 o’clock Thursday morniilg at City Hall and is also available at thfe division highway office near Shelby for public inspection and study betweieri now and the October 12 hearing at the Armory. The highway commission engineers are recommending the alterhate which le^ns northward from Cansler to miss the golf course and somi^ dther valuable properties. Traffic continues to increase on busy King street, and the demand for relief beconies more mahdatory dally. There is a most elaborate inter change at the horthwest take off point from 1-85. ' When Roy Dedmon became high way commissioner be labeled the Rings Mountain by-pass on his top priority list. While it vvlll be a long time before anyone will be riding on the new route, Commissioner Dedmon has brought the project a long way. Uthlum os prag A Texas doctor i^o practices in an area where the water> lithjated natut:. ally theorizes his neighbors are kept healthy (and good-hutpored) because of their intake of lithium; ■ He regards the' iiiiiium inrtake as something of a natural tranquilizer. I-o may have something. Researchers at Chapel Hill are seek ing to determine the efficacy as a treat ment and preventer of he&rt problems. The Charlotte Obseiwer observes that the folk in these parts have long recognized the wdf-th' of riiiherttl^atbfa in the area, including the lithiated varie ty. Quite true. Lincoln LithiA Inn tvas once a spa and gathering place for folk over who came for the water treatment Earle Hamrick, Sr., has lithlk spirings and many come to get all their drinking water from him. It was minetal spi^gs which brought visitors from i far and wide to the Cleveland Sprihgs Hotel. The sacrellgious scoffed that the real efflca- cyof the treatment was thk Write or four walks a day to the spring, the* exCrtise doing ♦he work of making the ^sftbr8 feel healthy and vigorous. But the faithful believed And stay ed with their mineral waters. Timing In Poliliet Senator Hargrove Bowles virtually put himself formally into the governor’s race Monday and Hugh Morton said he would make his final decision sooh It reminds of the will-of-the-wlsp of timing In politics. A candidate can announce too Soon and annouhee too Iktfe And he can fo|. low the same set of riiles In two cam paigns, finish winning one and losing one. ' Politics is a pseudo-science at best. Which, perhaps, is what makes the business of seeking votes as fasfcihatlng as It is. Draw your check to the Kings MounUin ^e Saving Squad, obiidu^ mg a fund 4|lve for muM n4«ded edulp- ment. MEDICIN By MABRN HARMON On a recent Thursday the Her ald had a number ot (nteresUi^ vtokots. Mrs. George Klepper, M 917 Hwty Strebt, was in the otOoe buying a sub^ription. I Imroduc- ed myseJif autd learned that .she and her husband recenUy ntovod here las he has joined Faust Tex tiles. When she corrected my apeUing of the surname from "C" to "K", I suggested Chat must be German extraotlon. “Very defi nitely,” she replied. ‘My name was King, but my husband is ol German extraetton. He was in Germany Ifa Wtsid War H and became fcaijuibited wkh a num ber at Kleppars.” ■Another visitor Lnig&luoed him self as the new salesman for the Htodclberg press manufacturers. He ts a tall, handsbme young man and spake with a pronounc ed foreign aooerrt Hte name la file ManytZhuaen. “Swede ex traction?" I a«»ked. “YouVe close," he replied. “Dane." I asked if he were native Dane emd he is. He remarked that he had only been In this country five ihonths, lives In Asheville. How ubfes he like America? "Love it,” he answered.
