The governor attributed at least $150 million of recently announced capital investments in the tatse to the new industrial revenue financing act.

Fresh Water On Outer Banks

By WHJUAM A SHIRES

Reflector Ralei^ Bureau

RALEIGH Securing an ample, dependable supply of approved fresh water long has' a severe problem at many places on the Outer Banks.

It was largely a ease of water, water everywhere but very little fit to drink. Where there was plentiful fresh water here md there, other places thirsted because of a lack of pipes, pumps and distdbih tion facilities."

The matter uncontaminated, non-brackish water supply is part ei the story of the isolation and lack of development on* the Outer Banks, whloB now is' chaoging.

In recent years, ne remarkable progress has , been madeioward solving the problem in the tiny communities dotting the tfato chain of sandy, barren and windblown islands, and as a result some of te favorite Outer Banks beaches, fishing villages and quiet resorts are enjoying l^ms.

Hatteras Project

More and more Outer Banks ommuBities^stretebing all the way from Ck>rlla to Calabash have been getting modem, reliable water systems through tfforts of governmental agencies and toe communities themselves.

Sodi a project, just recently announced, involves the towns of Hatteras, Buxton and Frisco < storied Hatta*as Island, at the (Took toe Islands elbow jutting into the Atlantic.

A total of $1,275,000 will be made available to the Cape Hatttras Water Assn. Inc. torough a federal grant of $570,000 and a 40-year low interest loan from tiie Farmers Hop Administration, to finance the project.

Rep. Walter B. Jones, D

N.C., who announced approval of the loan and grant, said the project is "much needed.

Highway Projects

Letting of contracts on several major highway projects is scheduled next week. These are on the agenda for the first Highway Commission meet-ing in Raleigh since last March.

The projects included on the August 4 agenda include construction of the west approaches of a long-awaited new Cape Fear river bridge at Wilmington: gradii^ of 10% miles <m the route of Interstate 40s "missing link in Davie and Iredell counties an<i widening and resurfacing of a section of U.S. 17 and N.C. 32 in Edentcm.

Since last March, the Highway Commission has held meetings in Laurinburg, High Point, Wa^esville and Washington fulfilling provisions of a 1965 law requiring it to hold at least three meetings a year outside of Raleigh.

Maps Reordered

Occasionally, among the great mass of printed matter published by state agencies there comes forth a so-called "best seller something for which demand exceeds initial supply.

An example is the 1967 state highway map produced in color earlier this year. It was distributed widely, and after only six months the Highway Commission which publishes the mai and furnishes tiiem free of charge for travel information purposes ran out.

It plans to order a new printing.

The peculiar thing about it is there has been no weeping and wailing in the-^Iemocratic camp to accompany Everetts announcement. More than likely that is because Everett has been for several years making public statements which sounded more Republican than Democratic. Presumably he has been d aot di i<^uva/ai '

Criminal Mine, ses The Mobs

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP)-How do Negro riots start?

Republican party leaders suggest violence like that in Detroit may result from a conspiracy organized, planned and carried out on a uatitmal scale.

But the national government at this moment has no evidence of such a conspiracy, and it has had weeks to check. Nevertoeless, Republicans called for a coogre^onal investigation.

They accused President Johnson of failing to deal witii the riot problem. But Monday night he sent U. S. tro<4)s into Detroit.

The riots in one city after another have pretty much followed a pattern. A Negro mob forms to denounce a certain police action. Some times

bill, which would have provided $20 million a year for the eradcation of rats in slums, was a victory for U.S. rodent lovers who have been mil-tantly fighting any legislation to control rats in the United States.

Elated over the vote was Walter Ferret, lobbyist for the National Rat Assn., who said, "Congress vote against

"But dont you feel that rats are dangerous and can cause a great deal of trouble? "This is the propaganda put out by the antirat people. Most

By EARL L. DOUGLASS THREE IMPORTANT WORDS

Would you agree with this statement; TTie three greatest words in the world are "God, "love, and "balance?

All that exists comes, of course, from God. He is the Oeator and the King of all He has fashioned and made. He sees every leaf of the tree, every blade of grass, every flower, every human heart, every mind, every .soul. God is aU-in-all.

The second word of vast im-irtance is the word "love. ^e are told that God is love (I John 4:8). This means that God w complete harmony. Inasmuch as we have to think of everything in form and substance, then we may say that love is the substance of ^ch God is made. To us, love is largely an emotion, a purpose. In the case of God, it seems to be the very essential of the divine nature. When we live in love, we live in God. When we fail to live in love, we are living outside the circle of nis influence and power.

The third great word of importance is "balance. We are to love the Lord our God with all the heart, soul, strength and mind, but we are also to love our neighbor as ourself. Throughout nature we find this matter of balance manifesting itself eveiywhere. There are' negatives and po^tives. There are ups and downs, light and darkness, love and hate, strength and tenderness.

Are we ever permitted to hate? Yes, we are to hate what is ei^. We are never to hate persons, but we are to hate ar^^ing that harms human life. And keep life and its elements in balance.

Political writers over the country are saying just now that it makes little (lifierence as to the next Republican presidential nominee insofar as winning the election is concerned.

We must disagree with such an evaluation at least in part.

While we might agree witii it insofar as North Corolina is concerned, when we move out of the South tiiere are sev*al factors which should weigh heavily in the next president^ campaign.

Here in North Carolina particularly among dissident Democrats, they will not in their own minds be voting Republican as such, but rather they will be casting a ballot against Lyndon B. Johnson.

We can almost put voters hi three categories in our state.

We can put the loyal Democrats in one category; we can put the loyal Republicans in another category; we can put the dissatisfied Democrats in another category.

It is quite evident that today in North Carolina there are

der such as Governor Rom-ney. Insofar as North Carolina is concerned, it makes little difference as to tiie name of the nominee. What does-make the difference is LBJ. The idea of voting against LBJ is so strong in many (juartors that the GOP could nominate anyone and toe "anti vote would still be cast against LBJ.

Dem(XTate know this as fact. Ri North Carolina tho:e is so very little which can be done about the national picture.

And in that regard, despite the fact that Republican candidates from top to bottom will be running against LBJ, the dissident Democrats, it is hoped, will vent their wrath only on the presidential candidate of the Democratic party.

By ROWLAND EVANS md ROBEaiT NOVAK . WASHINGTON - The mjuch -criticized performance of the New Jersey National Guaro during the Newark riots has led to f highly confidential push by the Johnson adminis-tratioD to remodel the National Guard tor riot toity ia the nations Negro slums.

Because Negro riotkig is ex-pected to recur throughoat tiie summer and because the Guard is toe mtiy force tiiat ean deal wHb it, this project is being given top sviority by officials in the Administration (not, inddentaHy/ in tiie Pentagon). The opwation consists basically of two parts:

1. A erash program to enlist Negroes in the lily-wfiite Na-tioad Guard, wbkh rmnains the last vestige of eetfmtion hi toe military estini&nt.

2. Immediate and Intotve traiofcig in anti-riot tsABiqii-es, replacing usual Ms gear* ed to eonventtonal nMre.

rats are safe and give pleasure to people. The few rats who cause all the trouble cannot be controlled by legiriation. 1 see no reason why the American people should be deprived <tf rats just because there is an occasional rat Incident that makes the headlines.

Sir, one of the criticisms made by people asking for strong antirat legislation is that it is so easy to get rats these days. AD you have to do is leave your garbage pail open overnight and you can have rats the next morning. Dont you think some laws should be made so rats wont get into the homes of innocent people?

"Id like to make the policy of the NRA very clear on tiiis point, because our position has bei so distorted in the press. The National Rat Assn. is not opposed to every law aimed at trying to control rodents. We are only opposed to those laws that would eradicate all rats in the United States, just because some people (hmt like rats.

"We would support a bill in Congress that would keep rats from getting into the homes of the wrong people. We think the police and local law enforcement agencies should be strengthenecF and that the rat problem should be made turned over to them.

General Foods has developed a system for eliminating much of the $150 million loss in damaged railroad freight every year. This is important because it may offset some of the higher costs of freight to result from higher wages. The system appears adaptable to trucking, too.

While it may seem sfrange that a food company should be the one to show the railroads how to reduce losses, it is entirely logical. General Foods moves a huge tonnage of food in and out of plants, much of it in containers that can result in heavy losses if damaged. General Foods introduced palletized shipping on now standard 48-by-40-lnch wood pallet to the food industry in the early 1960, and participated in the design of the first palletized railroad

tar.

The new system, called the air load control system, is designed to replace present systems of bulkheads to prevent frei^t shifting, wood si(te panels for the same purpose, and

rubber bladders attached to

each side of a center steel panel. The bulkhead spans tiie width of ,the car and from floor to ceiling, and moves on an overhead frack.

Freight is loaded on each side of the bulkhead and tiie bladders are inflated with air pressure until they bold the freight firmly in place. At destination, a valve releases the air pressure and the car becomes easy to unload.

The system not only reduces damage to freight but it also cuts handling time and equipments costs and, lughly important, it reduces work of storing and salvaging damaged goods and the cost of paper work involved in. filing-claims against railroads. Business Indicators
