VOTERS FACE
BOND ISSUE
IN DURANT

A new warehouse for Dur
rants Talon Upper Plant, re-
presenting a fifty percent in
crease in floor space, will be
constructed soon provided Dur
ant voters approve $4,000
bond issue.
The outcome of the new
facilities will be decided in a
special BAWI bond issue cleo
ton April 10 with passage re-
curing fifty percent of the
qualified electors voting and
tWo-thirds of those casting
ballots approving the mea-
sure.
The new warehouse, which
would be 70 x 100 square feet,
would be connected to the pre-
sent loading dock and is de-
signed to enable better use of
space in the main building
which is presently being used
for storage.
Present planning calls for
a metal building with sprink-
lers and insulation, but not
air conditioned.
The new building would en-
able Talon "to make better
use of air conditioned produc-
ton space now being used for
storage and will mean an in
crease in payrolls over a per-
iod of time" according to Dan
Wells, plant manager.
The bonds, if approved,
would be retired over a 20
year period from rental on
the property at no cost to the
taxpayers.
Approximately 120 are now
employed at Talon.

From The Shoulder

Don't be fooled by this New Frontier hogwash
from Washington about urban areas
The loose statements are constantly hearing
from Administration stoogeS that seven Americans
out of ten live in urban areas - and the impl
cation that the urban area is something that the
Federal Government must do something about, on
account of all such cesspoos of crime, breeding
places of juvenile delinquency, with housing, trans
portaton and traffic problems that are out-of-hand-
definitely intended to fool you. The obvious pur
pose to soften up the public to accept without too
much protest the further extension of Federal
hority from the State House to the City Hall.
Clearly the pressure for Urban Affairs legislation
deneateS the New Frontier - which may also be
the Last Frontier on which to resist complete en-
circement by the welfare state.
There only five US cities Of over million,
and four of these have shrunk in the past decade,
less than Is percent of population lives III cities
Of 100000 and larger and more than 30 percent
reside in larger cities and their surrounding
metropolitan areas.
Approximately 70 percent of the people still live
in smaller cities, towns and rural areas - figure
contrary to what the New Frontersmen have claim
ed.
In cold fact. then. the balance of power has not
passed from the grassroos to the asphalt The prob
lem of the graSsroots public remains Just what it has
always been to keep aware of potential dangers
that threaten to make us become totally dependent
upon the Federal government.

duce more with less effort than ever
before, food costs for many items is
less than in the distant past. Chickens
is prime example of this less cost.
Fryers today are much cheaper dress
ed and ready to cook than they were
on foot two decades ago.
Thus when we save money of food
purchases, it gives the consumer add
ed money to spend on other merchan-
disc and services.
1t becomes obvious when you study
the figures carefully that agriculture
is truly helping America to grow and
farmers here and elsewhere are max
ing substantial contribution to the
expanding economy of our time.
While statistics indicate that by
1875 only eight percent of the popu-
lation will be involved with agricul-
ture, this small percentage will still
be an important factor to the people
and the nation.

Why do some people get it and not

COUNTDOWN FOR CANCER

An increasing number of people
throughout the country have become
living proof that the countdnwn for
cancer is on.
In 1887, only one cancer patient
IN seven was saved. A few vea"S ago,
it was one in four. Today. it is one
IN three. 1t could be one in two. This
Is the countdown that saves lives.
Today there are more than one
million men, women and children
saved from cancer. and there is hope
that even more substantial gains will
be made soon.
There is no Cape CanaveraI for the
cancer cOuntdOwn. Instead, there are
thousands of scientists in hundreds
of laboratories, hospitals medical
schools searching for the final solu-
non to the cancer problem.
Their task is lust as challenging as
placing man on the moon. What

HOW FARMERS HELP

Long ago and many times we have
emphasized how important the farmer
is to the economy of Tabor City and
our area in general. While the family
size farmer is fast disappearing here
and Throughout the nation, he is still
OF ultra Importance to us and the
nation.
Recent figures bring this to mind
more wildly. American farmers last
year spent SIS billion for food,
clothing, drugs, furniture, appliances.
etc. the same kind of things that the
city dwellerS spent money for. They
spent another S25 billion for equip
ment goods and services to produce
their crops and raise livestock. Any
way YOU look at it, farmers are big
business in the United States in spite
of their ever decreasing number.
These purchases by farmers create
Jobs and keep the economy growing.
