IMPORTANT POST -. The death
of ABC Chairman William S. Hunt
last Saturday night once again fo-
cused attention on the tremendous
powers held by the Governor sof|
North Carolina. Powers = and re-
sponsibilities.
The unexpected passing Of Hunt
and 1t. Gov. Cloyd Philpott, one
week apart, demonstrates the need
for an on-the-scenes, young, and
energetic leader like Terry Sam
ford.
The late Mr.. Hunt was very
positive personality. He surrounded
himself with able men in ABC adj
ministration. Although he had re-
ceived criticism - as who has not
in that controversial post - but
seemed secure in his job.
Craftsmanship of the State ABC
Board is one of the most important
posts and far-and-away the hot
test seat in State officialdonl.
DELINQUENCY CAUSES ". The
political polls of George Gallup
have become known internationally
for their sharp accuracy.
However, now and, then the Gall
lup Poll shifts away from politics
and get down to home life pro-
blems.
Recently, a poll was conducted on
the causes of delinquency - or
'sWhy Teehagers Get Out of Hand.
The research showed these reasons:
1. Parents are not strict enough. 2.
Parents do not provide proper
home life. 5. Parents have too many
outside interests. A. Parents are too
|idulgent: give children too much
money. 5. Both parents work, even
though the mother is needed at
home.
WILL MISS HIM The new
N. @. Traffic Safety Council could
not have found a better man to ram
through this program than Phil Ell
lis, former WPTF newsman and
old-time sports announcer. But we
will all miss the best bass voice in
radio.
,If he can cure as many headaches
in highway safety as he has during
the past ten years with BIC pro-
ducts, we are really on the way. A
friend of ours travelling in a distant
State this summer said it was al
ways good to hear the backbone
voice of Phil Ellis plugging BIC on
various radio stations picked up on
her car radio.
Now Ellis win be seeing you,
wherever you are, about traffic
safety. Some of NJ. CTS mosts able
citizens are officers Of the Council.
TAKE OUR WORD! We. are
grateful to say that we have seen
most of the historic and fabulous
sites of Eastern America.
However, not until August 10
while in Ashville attending the
Carolina Advertising Executive
Assn. meeting had we visited Ghost
Town, $500 feet up, in Haywood
County - just north of Waynes-
vile - in, or overlooking, famous
Maggie Valley.
Never have we been as deeply
| impressed with God and man-made
presentation. Take our word for it:
fabulous" is the word for it. We
have never seen Disneyland -
but seriously doubt it can COM
pare with what we have going now
about 20 miles west of Ashville,
right here in North Carolina. Take
our word for it.
