PAGE SIX WAY TO PROGRESS OFFERED BY GILL IN PLEA FOR UNITY State Treasurer Says Compla cency and Disunity Would Encourage Disaster The next ten years may be criti cal; in North Carolina, and the complacency and disunity of the state’s people as to fiscal policies er the well-rounded development «f industry and agriculture could fumble the ball, in the opinion of State Treasurer Edwin Gill. In his recent address to the Association of Assessing Officers at Chapel Hill, Mr. Gill said while he believes the future of North Carolina can yield much, it is going to require a balanced budget and a united people. His address was as fol lows: I am very “bullish” about the future of North Carolina. We have made remarkable progress even during the setback of the reces sion, and I believe that we are on the threshold of greater things provided our people are united and alert to the opportunities that will come our way. North Carolina is in excellent financial condition with a very rea sonable public debt. Because of our healthy fiscal condition and the fundamental strength of our economy, we have come through the recession in much better con dition than many other states. North Carolina is fortunate in the mildness and variety of her climate, her plentiful human and natural resources, her excellent means of transportation, and her cloise proximity to the great mar kets of the East. But we must, as « people, seize the initiative and not wait for progress to come automatically. We are in competi tion with other states, and, if we are to get our fair share of the Nation’s growth, we must show ourselves receptive to industrial development on both the State and local level. When I say I am “bullish” about the future of North Carolina, I am 'speaking both of the immed iate future, which involves the •next two years, and the outlook for North Carolina as we take a long look at the decades that lie ahead. As to the outlook for the im mediate future, I am optimistic enough to believe that our next General Assembly will be greatly aided by the economic recovery that is now in progress in its ef forts to balance the budget and continue progressive public serv ice to our people. I wish to speak, however, in more detail as to our long-term prospects as a State and as a people. ’ In my opinion, the next ten years are critical. It would be tragic if North Carolina should become complacent or so divided as to policies, or so indifferent to the need for well-rounded, well balanced development, including both industry and agriculture, as to fumble the ball, permitting our (sister states to assume the leader ship of the South. Os course, we should concentrate an an agricultural program, hold ing on to as much of the benefits 1958 Ford 500 4-door, R & H F-O-M Pr.

License No. 1969 Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice Quite a few American families wouldn’t be serving fruit cake as a Christmas day dessert if it had not been for the British sailors of several centuries ago. Those British sailors must have been as shrewd as they were ob servant. In. the Orient they ate cakes made with fruit. They liked *•£. .. LiuJEa—aas— mm them and asked for the recipes. They got them, and with an eye out for a few extra shillings and pounds, they also returned to their homeland with the ingredi ents necessary to the baking of a fruit cake.. Recipes were jeal ously guarded by the sailors. According to information gath ered by the American Institute of Baking, Chicago, the sailors ob tained currants and raisins from Greece and Turkey. Citrus peel preserved in honey came from Italy. Almonds came from Spain. Strange seeds —and even the bark of tobacco and cotton as are still feasible, and yet strengthening our position by the growing of more vegetables and fruits, as well as continuing our phenomenal growth in the production of poultry, pork, beef cattle and dairy products. Small unit farming should be cherished and supported by every possible means, both as an econo mic asset and as away of life. We should continue to see our industrial leadership aiding the cause of agriculture, and the lead ership in farming, giving support to industrial development. For we cannot have a well-rounded, well balanced economy unless industry and agriculture move forward to gether. My argument is for a sustained unity, for great leadership that will carry on through the years, and a continuing tradition of co operation among our people. If we can bury petty differences and factionalism, if we can marshal all of our forces to one high purpose —literally nothing can stop us! Os course, our development pro gram should have the backing of our educational leadership, for our hope for better schools and better institutions of higher learning rests and depends upon a grow ing economy; also leaders in in dustry and in agriculture as well should be in the vanguard of those advocating better schools, better hospitals and all of those institu tions of public service that help to foster a climate for good living. It is natural for North Caro linians to differ and to debate the issues of the day. We would not have it otherwise, for it is in our democratic tradition—the way of life to which we are devoted. Sometimes our differences, how ever, are so sharp that prejudice enters the picture and we tend to divide into factions that are hurt ful to the future of our State. I propose that we close ranks and present a united front when the over-all welfare of our people is concerned, emphasizing the things that nnite us. No, I do not sug gest that we do away with politi cal debate, for such debate is both vital*and necessary; but there are two kinds of politics—that which tends to obscure and mislead the people and that which tends to de fine clearly the vital issues of the day. We need only the latter. There are people in our State who are inclined to say that those who favor the promotion of indus try are neglectful of agriculture, and that those who emphasize the j welfare of farming and farm fam- I ilies are not interested in the fu ture of our cities and towns. Be fore we give credence to such superficial charges, we should i look deeper and see if there is not a common purpose, a common j denominator, if you please, actua ting both groups, which envisions, the welfare of our entire State. For instahce, it has been said that W. Kerr Scott was purely an “agricultural” Governor and that Luther H. Hodges is purely an “industrial” Governor. I think such statements inadequately describe both men, for both of them have records of service to all the peo ple of North Carolina. Scott’s Secondary Road Program is not I only helpful to farmers, but is playing an important role in our industrialization. Good farm-to market roads make it feasible to locate industries in rural areas, making it practicable for the labor supply to be recruited over a wide ! area, commuting from farm homes to factories. On the other hand, Hodges’ industrial development program is helpful to agriculture because each new industry in creases the market for agricultural products, especially when the new ■ industry processes our own crops. For instance, w» have a meat 1 packing concern in North Carolina that will purchase annually five millions dollars worth of hogs within a seventy-five mile radius of its plant We have one baby food products plant that will pur chase annually forty tons of vege tables in its immediate area. Re cently a new industry came to our State which under a very modern of trees—came from the Far East. Although fruit cake was made available to the western world by British sailors, the first fruit cake, as we know it, probably was baked in Egypt several cen turies ago. It consisted of several kinds of tropical fruits, sugar, wheat meal, spices, oil and hon ey, all collected by the Egyptian housewife. In modern America, the house wife may walk‘into a bakery or grocery store and buy a delicious fruit cake of almost any size. MH ■ I" 1 ■. A and with a minimum of effort. And the cake she buys is the finishing touch for the best meals to be served during the holiday. process will utilize a crop that we used to neglect—that of growing timber. When this plant is oper ating at capacity, it will produce forty million square feet of flake board annually, and the chief source of the raw material needed will be the forests of North Caro lina. Also, we must not forget that new industry will give employment 1 to members of farm families, thus strengthening their economic inde pendence. So the programs of both Scott and Hodges have supple mented each other and present a well-balanced program for all the people of North Carolina. Yes, it was natural for Scott to speak in the language of the farmer and for Hodges to speak in the language of industry, but it is unfair to their records to suggest that they have not labored for the good of the State as a whole. I have just returned from Phil adelphia where our Governors led a large group of North Carolin ians representing all sections of our State in the interest of indus trial promotion. There we saw an example of the kind of unity, the kind of team-play, the kind of broad outlook that is so necessary to our progress. For instance, there were many representatives of local Chambers of Commerce ' and local Industrial Promotion Committees that, although remain ing local to their local viewpoint, for the time being, devoted them selves to telling the North Caro lina Story. Neighborly rivalry on the local level was forgotten as the cause of Nofth Carolina as a whole was presented. Much of the time of our group in Philadelphia was devoted to the promotion of industries that pro- . cess our food products. Incident ally, on our program was a lunch eon given there on Thursday by the North Carolina Poultry Pro cessors Association. North Carolina’s future is bright with great promise if our leader ship and our people, within the limits of the free democratic press, can see North Carolina whole— and be true to that vision! DISABLED WAGE EARNER HAS REQUIREMENTS LIFTED Congress has removed the re quirement that a severely disabled wage earner had to have some recent work prior to becoming disabled in order to be eligible for disability insurance benefits or the freezing of his social security wage record. The new amendments to the social security law will en able many more disabled wage earners to qualify than was pre viously possible. The law as stated before pro vided that a severely disabled person must have worked in em ployment covered by social secur ity at least five years out of the ten years prior to becoming dis abled; and at least one and one half years of this time must have been in the 3-year period before becoming disabled. The new law has dropped the latter requirement of one and one-half years work within the last 3 years. Now a wage earner who other wise meets the disability require ments under the law may have his social security record frozen, or if he is age 60 or over may receive monthly disability benefits as long as he is fully insured and has worked five years out of the ; ten before becoming disabled. i Some persons who will be af fected by this change had pre viously filed claims under the old provisions of the law and were denied because they didn’t have ; the recent work required. Those . individuals should again file a i claim with their social security i office. Only those persons whose i claim was denied because they did not work one and one-half years ■ out of the last three should refile ■ their claim. A previous denial for ■ any other reason would not be • altered by the recent change in n the law. THE COASTLAND TIMES, MANTEO, N. C. PULP AND PAPER SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE The N. C.

Y. World Telegram) ]h Perhaps you haven’t heard about Axson Smith’s River Forest Manor at Belhaven, N. C. It’s the jumping off place for duck, goose, quail, deer and bear hunting, and we can recommend it to those who are interested in “mixed bag” hunting. There also is fishing, both salt water and fresh. This general area, noted for goose and duck shooting, is only a short drive from the Mattamus keet Waterfowl Preserve, where i blinds and guides are available for a quite reasonable fee. In addition, Smith leases fields for goose shooting. The area around Belhaven is good quail country. It isn’t easy hunting terrain, but normally birds are plentiful. Gents who can bust through briar patches and other obstacles to comfortable foot travel will not lack for shots. Guides and dogs are as good as you’ll find anywhere. Deer and bear are, of course, hunted with hounds, and either shotguns with buckshot loads, or rifles, are used. Deer are generally on the small side, but the bear come large. Reason for that is be cause of good year-round food anh the fact bruin doesn’t hibernate to any great extent in North Caro lina’s coastal region. Good duck and goose shooting in that sector depends on weather, same as everywhere else. We once had a wonderful shoot on Matta muskeet—four geese and 10 ducks —when a roaring storm blew up and kept waterfowl on the wing for hours. Our limit was filled in a little over an hour, and, accord ing to the preserve manager, we had the worst blind in the public shooting area. For the hunter who prefers to prowl around on his own with boat, decoys and gun, there are creeks and rivers in the area where a duck limit is always a possibility. Ducks also come into the fields to feed and if the hunt er is in the right spot, he gets lively shooting. Deer and bear hunting with hounds affords plenty of action and excitement. These chases us ually are run in savannah-like country in the vicinity of ponds and lakes with the pursued deer making for water when the hounds get close. The object, of course, is to be stationed on a runway and intercept the quarry. Somebody usually gets a shot. Getting a crack at a bear isn’t so easy un less bruin trees or is brought to bay by the dogs. River Forest Manor is an old, plantation type home, comfortable HARTFORD GIVES BAPTISTS RESEARCH GRANT OF $141,000 Winston-Salem.
