Clean Water
It’s all over in Florida—at least un
til the November general eilection.
Victory for Wallace, victory for
Humphrey, victory for Jackson, defeat
for Muskie.
How can three people win one elec
tion?
It’s all a matter of interpretation and
the fact that Florida is but one of 50
states.
The “instant news” lads of the tele
vision news teams tended to read sur
prise into the results of the Florida pri
mary, even after relating for the past
several weeks that the Florida Demo
cratic primary gonfalon would go to the
Alabaman. They liked him in Florida
anyway and the straw vote on busing of
students to school issue was made to
order for Governor Wallace.
He was pleased with the big result
which will send him to Miami in July
with 75 delegate votes.
It also gives him momentum in this
fragmented campaign and momentum
for an underdog, as Wallace is, can be
catching as measles with the voters.
There may be one minus for him:
can an active candidate for the Democra
tic nomination for president resume the
“independent” American Party role for
the November business? Without dam
age, that is?
Senator Humphrey smiles and
laughed, too. Several days before the
voting, the 1968 standard-bearer con
ceded that Governor Wallace would be
the leader, adding “I’ll run second.” The
Senator did and picked up what were
left of the delegate votes, to wit, six.
There will be other primaries be
tween :iow and July, the Humphrey
campaign is advertised as the best fin
ance, and he will be tough in Wisepn-
.sin and California, among others.
Senator Henry Jackson placed third,
considered a good showing for him,
largely because he led Senator Edmund
Muskie, at fourth place.
It was a damaging blo.w for the
man from Maine. Some are writing him
off as having been running too long and
having peaked his campaign too early.
Muskie’s diatribe against Wallace as
the vote tabulations became conclusive
hardly inspired confidence. Indeed,
many who heard him got fhe impres
sion of a man defeated who realized it
himself.
Somehow the pundits didn’t write
off yet Mayor John Lindsay, nor Sena
tor George McGovern, who placed fifth
and sixth, respectively.
Not much attention was given the
other five.
’The top six are on the April 4 Wis
consin ballot, in another “funny” state
\vith diverse interests. The dairy state
is also an industrial state, \yhich could
support both Senator Joe McCarthy and
a Senator William Proxmire, the two
far ap^l^t on the political pole, and
which spawned the famed LaFollettes
of yesteryear.
Interestingly, Wisconsin is neighbor
to Senator Humphrey’s Minnesota and
Senator McGovern’s South Dakota.
Governor Bob Scott formalized
Tuesday the authority granted him by
the 1971 General Assembly to caU an
$150 million “clean water” bond elec
tion “not later than May 6". The Gov
ernor could have called the election
earlier but calling it for the primary
date made “money” sense.
The only extra expense of the bond
election will be printing of the ballots.
The personality races jn the pri
maries will attract the interfst and cre
ate the excitement, but it Is lively "clean
water” is more important than the per
sonality battles. After all, jpost of the
candidates look pretty goc^, ,«n basis
of face, hair-do’s, and past peifonflance.
It is therefore reasonable to suppose
tha!t the eventual electees would be able
to take their oaths .and proceed about
the business of continuing good govern
ment in North Carolina.
Clean water is another matter, and
an expensive one.
Here in Kings Mountain, the city
commission, pursuing a long-range plan,
got final engineering reports on $671,000
clean water proposals Monday night.
Neighboring Bessemer City thinks it
can live with a $900,000 bond issue of
its own in that city’s clean water plan—
if the state bond issue is suc^sful.
What we’re talking about, Of course,
in the local instances is res^y waste
treatment. Happily, “clean water” is a
more palatable term than “sewage dis
posal”, which much of the $150 ndllion,
if voted, will be spent for.
It reminds of a Kings Mouirtfun
citizen’s remark at the d^ication of the
new sewage treatment plant. .He was
somewhat critical of the absence Of the
mayor of neighboring Blacksburg.
“After all,” he remark^, “we’re
cleaning up the creek he drinks from.”
Points Of
The Herald was interested in t^e
sentence District Judgp Ospif MasSP
meted put to the four*ypuths vtiio plead
gyilty to slashing thig jjres of Faculty
Member Hugh Putri^ijj..,
The Judge senttjncbd the boys to
attend school and to attend church, as
well as putting them on pi obailon.
Under the law, Superintendent Don
Jones says, a board of education may
expell any student for cause, even if
the student is under 16 (these lads are
all 16 or more).
The church sentence appears rather
patently and abridgement of freedom of
religion (or non-religion) under the
United States Constitution.
It is presumed, of course, there will
be no test-casing. Should the lads de
serve probation, their probatlort would
be revoked and sentence invoked.
And the lads will do well to attend
church.
All may be a long way ’round to the
point of prayer in the public schools,
which the maligned Supreme did hot
ban.
The wording was that prayer would
not be “prescribed nor proscribed”,
somewhat different from “thou shall
not”.
It reminds that the legal entangle
ments of the civil rights will pose iirter-
esting problems, too. It is (e^rricully
against that law to differentiate be
tween citizens on account of rsce, creed,
color, national origin or sex. Yet school
officials are required to regularly report
breakdowns on account of race and
color by the Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare.
The baseball lads are unlimbering
but basketball was still holding jcehter
stcige in this area, as Gardner-Wdbb’a
Bulldogs went after a second tourha-
menit victory Wednesday night, and
Noi^h Carolina’s 'Tar Heels and Soeifti
Carolina’s Gamecocks readied for the
regional opener at Morgantown, West
Virginia, Thursday night.
