Those of us who are prone to cling to
the mores of the past are unaware of the
changes which affect our lives now. and
will, even more so in the immediate fu
ture. Raleigh is no longer a town or even
a small city. The metropolitan aspect of
a city is gradually, but surely, descend
ing upon the Capitol City. Geared for
this push ahead are the banks. Already
there are two brand new stately bank
buildings. One n ore is neanng comple
tion. and others are in the making The
sky-line of dow'ntown Raleigh has begun
its renovation for the future. Buildings
businesses and people arc- fastly growing.
Along with such growth eomest the
need for re-evaluation of our philosophy
This is not easy to many. Being born
and bred in wealth and position or in
poverty and semi-illiteracy in a city
which has many extremes presents cause
for a new outlook when this same city
is being catapulted into a new world of
concepts and changes. The responsibility
of government, education, recreation, re
ligious. civic and social life increases
each day. Also increasing in Raleigh are
opportunities for a richer and more serv
iceable life through better training and
more wholesome attitudes. All the build
Who Decides On Druos.
The medicare bill, which is to go into
effect July 1. 1966. was passed in con
siderable haste. The strongest kind of
political pressure was used to force it
through Congress and to side track with
little consideration other proposals for
meeting the medical needs of the elderly.
As a result, medicare is far from being
a model piece of legislation, whatever
one may think of the principle it repre
sents.
An officer of a leading drug company
has pointed to one of its glaring defects

Political schemes to put the federal
government deeper and deeper into com
mercial competition with taxpaying in
vestor-owned power companies are be
ing constantly fostered by public offic
ials. In practically every case, they seek
special favors exempting such publicly
owned commercial projects from taxa
tion and full interest rates which inves
tor-owned business must pay. And the
customers of government businesses es
cape these costs that taxpaying enter
prise must pay to support government
and its tax-exempt competition with
them.

ings housing schools, money, machines,
f: lures and people amount to little
should the people remain stagnant, self
oppressed, biased or out of step with
a changing world of which Raleigh can
not escape.
Then are things said and done today
which our forefathers dared to even
think. A $3,000 per year income concept
as proposed by President Johnson a few
years ago. would have been thought of
as pure folly and certainly impossible.
Th re are those who now believe that
the $1.50 minimum wage to be instituted
by 1967 is not workable. As we pass
through these periods of change, it be
comes easy should we look to aiding in
the changes of today instead of holding
to our experience of yesteryear which,
in many cases, are fraught with selfish
ness and conceit.
A growing city can wait on no one.
Raleigh needs people who are unwilling
to let it be held back in its human re
lationships. Much has been accomplish
ed in the pa t few years. More can and
must be done in the immediate future*
between all of its people in order that
we may continue to grow and prosper
in proportion to our physical growth.
for this is that they do not appear among
the approved reference books selected
as the principal guides to be used in the
medicare program.
In the spokesman’s word “It’s fasci
nating to me that we’ve got the Food
and Drug Administration set up to li
cense companies to sell drug products
in the United States, but that this agen
cy’s approval isn’t used as the criterion
for acceptability to medicare.”
Certainly, the physician is the one
who should decide what drugs will be
most beneficial to his patients, whether
or not they are under medicare. In this
respect, as in others, the hastily-enacted
law is in urgent need of amendment.
SIBO 657,000 for 1965-66. In other words,
its customers dug up that much in taxes
in their rate payments to support gov
ernment and tax-exempt government
projects. The unfairness of such com
petive methods by a private company
would put its perpetrators in jail.
Think how this private companj
could cut rates if it could deduct SIBO,
657 000 in taxes from its charges. Also,
think what the federal government, the
state of California and 49 counties in
the state would lose in taxes if it was
tax-exempt-—the SIBO million would be
shifted to remaining over-burdened tax
payers. Tax-exempt commercial enter
prise is inexcusable.
