Water Bond Money
“Is there enough money left to fin
ish the project?” a citizen asked re
cently concerning the Buffalo Creek
water project.
“There certainly should be,” City
Clerk Joe McDaniel, Jr., replied when
the question was put to him.
Mr. McDaniel then went to his ledg
er sheet, which showed the water bond
account at a little over 3426,600, only
3122 on Checking account and the re
mainder earning money on bank certifi
cates of deposit.
Coleman Goforth has been paid the
3S5,000 jury aw'ard, and Buford Cline
and W. K. Mauney, Jr., their awards.
Two properties, those of Ambrose
Cline and John D. Cline, remain to be
acquired.
Other principal expeaie, which
shouldn’t be great, Mr. McDaniel con
tinued, will be final grubbing and clear
ing before the hole is plugged and the
lake begins coming a fact.
Bulk of the engineering fees have
already been paid.
Actually, Mr. McDaniel thinks, cash
will be left in the till and will be avail
able to apply against the bonds oul-
standing from the 33 million citizens
initially approved, some of which have
already been redeemed.
Blue vs. Finley
Most baseball fans usually side with
the player and against the owner in a
salary argument.
Those old enough rejoiced when the
late, great George Herman (Babe) Ruth
threatened to stay home unless Colonel
Ja(x>b Ruptpert, Yankee and beer mag
nate, came across with 380,000 per year.
The Colonel did.
The fans may not be as sympathetic
with Vida Blue, holding out for 392,000,
a rather healthy distance from Owner
Charles O. Finley’s 350,000 offer.
There is a difference between the
Ruth of the $80,000 days and Blue.
Ruth had been an established super
dtar for many seasons before collecting
tjhe really big money. He went to the
majors as a pitcher, hit so w'ell they
made him an outfielder to have his big
bat in the line-up every day instead of
every fourth day.
Blue has had one big season and the
records show that many players have a
tough sophomore summer. Some fade
all the way out of the majors.
Blue Very well may become a super
star and all hope he will but it requires
more than one good season, and the
350,000 represents a $37,000 raise.
More folks can withstand adversity
muott better than prosperity, and tihe
success need not be monetary, though
in the Blue instance it is.
Not Too Signilicant
The forces of Senator Edmund Mus-
kie are naturally pleased to have won
the Illinois but the Herald believes more
meaning is being put into the result
than is actually there.
While Mr. Muskie gathered 58 dele
gate votes to Senator George McGov
ern’s 15, a bulky 87 remain uncommit
ted.
Nor are delegates from Illinois
bound, more than normally, to vote for
those they said they would, even on the
first baikrt. And there is speculatioh that
many who voted as they did voted that
way because others were obsent from
the printed ballot.
The next big test for M?. Muskie
and the rest comes April 4 in Wisconsin
wtoere the primary is expected to sep
arate Democratic men from Democratic
boys.
Senator Hubert Humphrey is ex
pected to get strong support in the dhiry
state and perhaps Mr. McGovern, too.
Mr. Muskie's remarks post-mortem
ing the New Hampshire won criticism
from many as too full of excuses when
all he needed to say was, ‘We won! On
to Illinois, Wisconsin and Caiifomia!”
Drugs
■The recently formed county organi
zation dedicated to fighting drug abuse
are dedicated to a noble cause.
The Herald agrees with President
Nixon who didn’t cotton to the special
report on drugs which is recommending
laws be ebauged to make use oi iiiaii.^
juana no crime and limit maximum line
on "pusners’' to ■'■3 00.
The report contends that marijuana
is harmless ana non-habit forming,
which may be correct, but as mothers
tell their daughters “petting may lead
to other things', it would appear use of
marijuana might be the first stop on the
road to heroin and other drugs which
are habit-forming.
Happily, drug abuse here and in
Cleveland couniy is not near the propor
tions it is in New York or even in Char
lotte.
Superintendent of Schools Don
Jones, a member of the anti-drug group
says that not more than a dozen of the
more than 1200 high school students are
on drug kicks.
Even a dozen is considered too
many, of cour-se, but this report by Mr.
Jones i.s welcome news.
“I don't know lor sure,” he com
ments, "but I don't think the incidence
of drug abuse is any worse in other high
schools in the county.”
Nixon Politicking
Every ptonouncemont ■'"I'l action
from the Vfhite House sect to wa.x
more political in the directr assur
ing the re-election of Prcsici .ichard
M. Nixon.
The China trip was certainly so,
taking the spotlight off domestic prob
lems. Then there was the decision to
send some Sttbr-j jet planes to Israel,
which should not hurt the President
with the United States Jewish vote. And
the Ni?;on pronouncoments on schorl
busing, with its “anti” tone is designed
to please not orh- the .‘-oulh but 0 '-'i'
areas like Pontiac, Michigan, and others.
It is axiomatic that incumbent presi
dents seeking re-election run, if indi
rectly, cut ct the public treasury.
President Harry Trumen t mk two
snccifi'c actions, which with Governor
Tom Dewey’s gaffe alienating virtually
all of the railroad unions, combined to
rcassur,’ the Truman victory. Mr. Tru
man dusted off the 1919 Balfour re.so-
liition aitd .supported the .setting un of
the Israeli state to gain the vast major
ity of Jc ir-h votes, not to mention ce.m-
paign contributions, and supoorted up
ping the parity price of corn, pleasing
the nommally Reonbhean voting mid-
western farmers. Many switched.
All's fair, tis said, in love, war and
politics.
And, in Andy Griffith’s words, what
this is is politics.
Little Above Average
Recent report state revenue Com
missioner-G. A. Jones, Jr., reveals that
1971 sales and use tax collections rose
to $307,326,342 or 11.23 percent.
Cleveland countv collections w.-^re
up 3412,961, 12.03 percent to 33,846,639.
Commissioner Jones cautioned on
analyzing the report, but it is-a reason
able guess that a portion of both state
and county increases derived from im
position of the additional one pore.ont
which is rebated to counties and cities.
Wallace Vote Healthy
Acknowledging he borders on here-
•sy, Joseph C. HarsJi, of the Christian
Science Monitor, contends it was healthy
for the nation that all those people in
Florida voted for Governor George Wal
lace.
“It was healthy,” he wmltcs.
