The Proposed Bond Issue of
$500, 100000 for Roads

election Saturday, June 4 tone
week from tomorrow).
One is: Shall the State issue
$25, 900, 900 for school buildings ?
The other is: Shall the State
issue 100000, 900 for roads?
These questions are separated
plainly on the ballot, SO that
you can vote FOR or AGAINST
either proposition without re-
gard To the other.
If you want to do what is best
foff. f. MOI Mort III b Carolina Cal eli4asaa,
Vote FOR the school building
bonds, and
Vote AGAINST the road
bonds.
The recent legislature APP
proprlated from the States sur
plus S25, 900, 900 for school build
ings, and the bond issue, if ap-
proved, will raise the total to
$4,000, 900. The urgency Of the
need for more school buildings
is obvious to everybody, and the
amount Of the proposed issue is
well within the bounds Of pru-
dent expenditure.
The case is very different with
the proposed bond issue Of $780,
100000 for road construction.
For the State to borrow this tre-
mendous amount under present
conditions-(one Of these condi-
tions being that the State can
go ahead with comprehensive
road-building program by the
use Of the accumulated highway
surplus and current revenue,
without borrowing would be
extremely imprudent. Indeed it
would be reckless squandering
of the States credit.
Just 3 year ago this week, on
Monday, May "a, in jackson, N.
c., in his campaign for the Gov
enorship against Johnson, Scott
said: 1T is ridiculous to adyo-
cate plunging the State into debt
for a hundred million dollar
bond issue, as State Treasurer
Johnson does, with more than
that already in the banks with
out interest. In fact, in all my
travel over the State the only
persons ! have heard who are
IN favor Of a State bond issue
are the State Treasurer and his
big banker hackers"
Scott made this same state
ment, or its equivalent in differ
ent words, again and again dur
ing the campaign. And now. hav-
ing become Governor, he pro-
poses a bond issue twice the size
OF the one that he ridiculed his
opponent for proposing!
When A. n. Graham, the re-
firing State Highway Commits
sioner, responded to an invita-
ton to appear before a legisla-
tive committee in February of
this year, he gave figures that
showed the folly of the States
going into debt for road CON
struction.
His conservative estimate of
the highway surplus at the end
OF the present fiscal year duly
!, l949) is $23,s32,OOO Add the
annual highway fund revenue of
$6O,OO0,OOO, and federal funds

slty IN working out TINS problem, as
am sure that, if there is an emer-
maintenance, and betterment.
This figure" said Mr.. Graham,
should be contrasted with the
$191 ,528,000 spent for these OBJ
iectives during the last four
years. Thus, it can be seen that
the Highway Commission can
continue to expand and enlarge
its program of road work with
out bond issue. To my mind
there is no justification for the
issuance Of bonds when current
revenue is at its highest peak
and furnishes sufficient funds to
provide all Of the road construc-
tion work which can be econom-
ically handled by the Highway
Commission"
Graham's understanding Of
the highway situation is far
greater than SCOTS, and his ad-
vice far more worthy Of accept
ance. This is made all the more
apparent by the fact of Scots
absolute reputation Of the
declarations he made when he
was candidate for office last
year.

fathers mcessant pleas, the very
words he used when he first
asked her to come with him on
the journey, then only a mad
dream. now had implications and
meanings which she didn't ap-
prehend at the time Now her
new destiny, whatever it was and
wherever it would lead her,
seemed to be potent with all the
dark Turing evils of evil-doing
mankind To her, the new land
was not ripe and glowing with
glory and promise, but uninvit-

stories of madmen, daredevils,
roughnecks. corruption, vice,
gangsterism and vast conglom-
Grafton of peoples, who would not
suit her frame of mind. She
felt now she would miss her
own people, the sturdy depend
able stock, who shared her little
habits, customs and way of life.
And she kept wondering: what
made America so Turing, what
was the magic incentive that
swept Europeans off their own
continent, their beloved soil and
homesteads, broke up families,
disrupted traditions? Instinctiv-
ely she thought of hordes of cat
tie, shipped across the sea in
boatloads, handled like so much
meat to be thrown into the boil
ing American melting pot! She
resented the blunt questions
asked by the ticket agents. the
custom officers, the personnel of
the boat.
"Bjorn ?" she said to father,
whatever made you want to go
to America? Tell me! Give me
a reason,'
Well" said father. coughing

before they left for Gothenburg
and L. S.
The ocean liner pulled out am
idst the cheers and cries of hun
dreds of persons, waving hand
kerchiefs and walking back and
forth on the pier, desperately
trying to catch a last glimpse
of departing relatives and
friends. All the passengers were
standing on deck and looking
toward the pier, now rapidly
diminishing until it was soon on
ly a little speck on the horizon.
But no one had come to see
mother and father off and they
felt very lonely.
Fishing boats, tug boats, mer-
chant ships, all kinds of vessels
were strewn about the harbor
of Gothenburg, whistles and
horns were blowing and there
were anxieties, hopes, fears, and
enthusiasm stirring in the hearts
of the passengers.
Some of them stayed on deck
to watch the Swedish coastline

a hazy strip of undiscernible COL

father also fingered on and mo-

future had in store for them and
whether the trip TO America was
a mad idea. Father made a
sweeping gesture with his hand
toward the Swedish coast, say
ing: Goodbye Sweden. Maybe
you're not so bad afterall. at
least you gave me darn good
wife" And he clasped mother
around her shoulder while she
held the baby tightly in her
arms, mothered and nursed it,
praying that it wouldn't get sick
She even thought of herself cling
ing to the baby desperately as
huge waves washed over the
deck of the sinking ship, bu.
actually she had "reminiscences
of the Titanic, the tragic disas-
ter which made such a profound
impression on a whole genera

To her the trip now seemed to
lead her astray from the course
of life she originally chose TO
follow and set out before her
