In many respects the most important and bothersome hern In this category is selection of members of the highway oom-xnission.

BALANCE The big problem is to maintain equitable balance between needs of primary super highways and of local farm to market roads, both as to degree of statewide control and as to allocaUon of total highway funds to the main purpoaes.

tereet. Nothing much could be done to any roads during the war years 1941 to 1945. Prom 1945 to 1950 there was fairly even division, with some favoritism to primary highways. During the Scott administration from 1949 to 1953 emphasis was on county and local roads, and prfrnai7 highways were a^rd-ed eecon^ry consideration. v-" Came then the interstate system and the requirement for larger part of State road funds to be allocated to match Federal money for the super highways. Governor Umstead sought to solve this problem by increasing hi^way commission membership. One effect of that was to Increase the concept of 14 distinct little kingdoms within the sUtewlde empire. Governor Hodges met that problem by reducing oomroiaslon membership to sev. and ignoring county or division lines.

That policy was met with general popular dissatisfaction, so Governor Sanford is going back to the largest oommtssion in history with a sought-after balance between primary through h^hways and more attention to local neads wtth suggestions for more money for both pluses of oonii^ctlon and maintenance.

Oovemor Sanford has sponsored le^slation giving him the right to appoint more members of more commissions than any other Governor. No other of these oommissions has as much popular interest as the highway group._

The first of eight pilot food stamp programs, using a form of cuiTfocy that will buy only food, began Monday in McDowell County in the heart of the soft coal country.

The food coupons replaced handouts of surplus food commodities which more than half the countys population had been receiving. Most of the needy are coal miners, displaced by mechanization.

First to receive stamps in Welch was a family of 15, which had been without a steady Income for more than a year, Al-derson Muncy, 47, an tmemploy-ed miner, said feed his family few odd Jobs and monthly line to receive surplus food.

that the University system had just taken a death blow.

In todays issue. The Raleigh Times publishes a story listing some of the major achievements of State College during the past decade, and a simUar story listing some of the major achievements at Carolina, This is the decade which saw the riseand now the fall of big-time college basketball.

It is entirely appropriate that some high spots of the ac^emic achievements of the two institutions be revived at this time. Although those achievements are the only reason a college or a university has for existing, it is so easy to overlook them in the glamour and noise of a big-time athletic program.

The list of really big things done at State College during the past decade is impressively long. So is the list from Carolina. Dotted through them are the accomplishments which made headlines, some big, some small, at the time and which have been forgotten now by most people despite their importance.

real first, a real All-America development. Yet It is the kind of tiling we are so prone to forget at the same time that we remember the score of last years big basketball game.

There has been much talk about the scholarships used to lure basketball players to our colleges. But had you forgotten

the Morehead Schoiarahips at Carolina and the Talent for Service Scholarships at State? The boys who get them may play football or basketballbut they get the scholarships because of their academic achievements In high school.

Many people who are so upset over the death of the Dixie Classic might be surprised to hear that hybrid com developed at State College now adds $25.000,000 annually to the farm Income of North Carolina. Or that tobacco disease control measures developed at State save our growers $20,000.000 yearly, or that weed control measures save the farmers $10,-000,000 each year. Such things arent dramatic but they are important.

It is easy to forget that as many people went to Reynolds Coliseum thia year to hear a symphony orchestra as ever went there to see a basketball game. That symphony orchestra was brought here by the Friends of the College, a unique group composed (A college and towns people.

The academic story is the .same at Carolina. National and international scholarly and professional organizations come to the Chapel Hill campus for their leaders. Three Rhodes scholars have gone from Carolina during the past decade. The UNC press turns out books which win national acclaim. Medical, research done in the University School of Medicine has cased suffcrlni, saved lives.

All those things make up the college and the univereity. The Importance of those thlnis is what led University Praaldent William C. Friday and Chancellors John T. Caldwell and William B. Aycock to take their drastic move* against the evils which had grown up around bif-Ume baaketDftU.

She concluded that graduation Is not the end. . it is the beginning.

Craig Worthington followed with another slant on graduation. The world is waiting to grasp us, he stated. He warned sen-lore that many have made plana for college or work, but not for themselves.

He described the diploma as a key. a key which will admit us to many doors heretofore closed to us.

If you can remember backwards to your graduation, you may recall thinking some of these thoughts yourselves. Or you may remember someone elses thinking them and expressing them. You might say they are universal.

And they are much more true than those seniors might now realize.

There are many aspects to graduation from high school, s^e krilmg to immediate responsibilities and some leading to college and a slight interlude before the real responsibilities of a Job and home set In.

It seems that sometimes, as if warding off these responsibilities, some high school students ha^e to inject a Uttle fun or prankishness. Such as installing property for sale signs on a high school campus, or other forms of so-called fun. These things are oountywlde, sutcwlde, nationwide and not confined to any one school.

But to the teachers and principals who have prodded and trained and hoped, graduation should be a culmination of Joys. This last prank may prove to be a disappointment to those people, a little barb more painful than a slap in the face.

The Negro explosion of 1961 Is so different from other similar incidents that it requfrea special study. Dr. C. Elric Lincoln, a Negro Clergyman and professor of philosophy, has done a very thorough sociological study oi the Black Muslims, the follow, ers of Elijah Muhammad The Nation of Islam grows by leap* and bounds among Negroes in the United States.

Dr.'UncolD is a OudsUan but he approaches the anti-Christian . Muslim movwnent with scholar-ly objectivity in his book, The Black Muslims in America. He became interested in the subject when a student gave hlni a term paper which contalne<i the following:

The Christian religion is incompatible with the Negros aspirations for dignity and equality in America. It has hindered where it might have helped; it has been evasive when morally bound to be forthright: it has separated bcUevers on the basis of color altiumgh It has declared its mission to be a universal brotherhood under Jesus Christ. CJhrlstian love is the white mans love for himself and for his race. For the man who is not white, Islam is the hope for Justice eqi^ity in the world we must build tomorrow. , _ .

The Nation of Islam is attacking our civilization at its very heart. R teaches hate, not k>ve. It teaches that liie Black man Is superior to the White man.

It doe* not fuss with definitions; white 1 white and those who are not white are some deg^ of black. They want no co-minlmg of races, no

Every Muslim U taught never to (initiate a) flght. Respect another mans right* whether he i* white, black, brown, yellow or what-not! Respect him as a man. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Never be the aggressor, never look for trouble. But if any iMn molests you, may Allah bless

you! .

Dr. Lincolns book is read because we so called Whites sit in false security, hardly understanding or even knowing what goes The Black Muslims in the UnitM States have been encouraged by the rise of the independent African nations who come to sit in the United Nations, the equals - of the British, the French, the Ruiiaa*r and the Amertean*. One vote is assigned to each of these countries and one vote goes to Ghana and Guinea and Mali and even Chad.

While Reverend Martin Luther King preaches the Tolstoyan, doctrine of non-resistance, the Black Muslims teach total sep^ ration. The Nation of Islam is a moral society which could accomplish a great deal for the Negroes of this country.

Dr. Lincoln makes the bold assertion that the Black Muslims are not an isolated phenomenon. ,He says:

ln New York City alone, a score or more organizations operate in the name of black solidarity. Their central theme is always the glorificatlOD of black clvUization and the deprecation of the white culture, which, whenever J$ has been adopted by the black frian. has reduced him to ImpiMeDce and ignominy. , * ^

Strength For Toc^ay

By lARL L. DOUGLASS^ ^ CONFORMITY To What extent should a Christian, in order to be a good Christian, conform to authority?

Authority is, of course, the bssic problmn In Christian theology. Whst authority do we have for this belltf or that? (^lurch. Blbls, creeds, human experience -sJl these have in them a certain authority. The person who says that he recognizes no spiritual or ecclesiastical authority but Just goes along doing the best he can and trying to put Into practice the Sermon On The Mount may indeed be an honest person and a good person, but he is a mistaken person. He must recognize some spiritual authwity. For him, and for all of us, there must be something upon which to build

oonvletion.

When w* find that something, than t osrtsln oocformity is required. Tbere Is a wide dif-ferenos of oplnioo in the Christian Church as to what this conformity should consist of. Is it tfo be complete and unquestioning? Is it to be taken with discrimination? These are questions which every individual has to answer for himself.

Gods truth is so immeasurable that we have to look at it from as many viewpoints as possible. Discrimination Is necessary, rea* 8<m has its ptoos in religion, there must be a certain conformity to some kind of authority. We must each settle this between ourselves and God.

But we must conform to something else we are dereliou tossed on raging sea.

Th* question now, howsvsr, Is how much did ti drink c(>at?

If salesman Pomfrit bought the drink out of his own pocket, and if hs U in ths 20 par oent income tax bracket, then the drtnk coit him $1.28. He would have had to earn $L28 to havo $1 left aftelr taxes.

If the company la In the eur-plu* tax bracket, and 11 there

were no sale resulting from Peirits entertainment, the dfink would have cost the corporation 48 cents. If Pomfrit had not spent the $1, the company would have had $1 more profit before taxee and 48 cents more after taxea.

But we are assuming that Pomfrit made the sale. The company therefore had a profit of $20.000, lese Che price of the drink. -After the 52 per cent corporation tax. that leaves the company $9,599.48. The government Vould Uke $10,399.52. but would be loelng 52 cents taxes on the drink.
