Where 'Good Causes Break Down Law

Well Up In Scholarships, Too

East Carolina Colleges growth in many fields has been so rapid that even we who watch the college closely are unable to completely comprehend what is happening.

Those who see the campus frequently are aware of the rapid expansion of facilities, what with the new construction that has been underway almost constantly since the end of World War II. And, of course, we know that with this years $8 million capital improvement allocation the college will enter its greatest construction program ever.

Enrollment figures are easy to follow and every booster of the college knows that the number of students has grown enormously.

Few of us, however, think of East Carolina a.s being a college with much in the way of scholarships to offer bright prospective students. A report issued by the North Carolina Board of Higher Education indicates otherwnse, however.

East Carolina was in a respectable third place

"n No Hurry 1 o Officially Call

B.T WUXIAM A. .SHIRES

RALEIGH Reporter notebook:

Gov. Terry Siniord appesr lo be i nno particular hurry to iue an official proclamation calling the General Assembly into special aesslon next month.

8ucb a proclamation must be approved by the Council of Slate. The quqesUon of a formal proclamation came up at a Council Q State meeting last Thursday but the governor' office wasnt ready.

Sanford announced 10 days ago hia Intration to call the special seeelon on Senate redls-trictlnf to convene on Oct. 14. It was expected ttud the proclamation making the call official would be Issued within a few days.

DELAY The delay has caused some guessing about whether Sanfords redlstrlctlng plana have hit further snags. In the absence of an official proclamation, the date of t h e apeclaJ session might be delayed beyond Oct. 14.

It appears more likely, however, that the reason is simply that theres no great urgency. There is no specific time required for Issuing the official call. In emergencies, sucha proclamation could be Issued calllnf the legislature into special session on 24 hours notice or leas if necessary.

It la expected that Sanford will present the proclamation for routine Council of State approval within the next week or two.

SNA08 There may be hidden snags for Senate redlstrlctlng plans anyway.

No single "rcdistrlct - now plan Is expected to get anything like unanimous approval. In fact there are some legislators who favor doing nothing at all about redistricting the present slate senate and who may be expected to vote against any redlstrlctlng plan under the present constitution. These legislators feel that submitting a ci-atitutlonal amendment to change provisions for legislative apportionment would be sufficient and that the federal courts would permit this.

It appean virtually certain that the legislature will approve a ooQsUtuUtmal amendm e n t the proposal to be submitted to the people In a referendum In November, 1964. The governor now favors this and has pledged to support a suitable amendment provided the senate Is re-districted now according to present constitutional provisions.

DETAILS - Not all of the details of the redistricting bill which will be presented in the special session have been dl.s-closed. Some o these either have not been finalized, or are being kept quiet.

It la learned, however, that a proposed solutiwi to one of the knottiest problems In the plan is to make Davidson County a separate, single-senator district.

This would cut populous Dav

idson ipop. 79.493) away from a proposed two-senator district embracing several counties in the lower Piedmont. Davidsons populatlCHi was double that of the next most populous county In the district. Richmond.

Davidson Is one of the states well-known battleground counties In which every election is closely divided. It has a large Republican registration and some observers believe that as a one-senator district, Davidson County will be added to the list of counties electing GOP legislators.

HIGHWAY The State High way Cwnmlsslon will receive a requqest Oct. 4 to relocate U.S. 1 in Richmond County along a route that would bypass Rockingham and go throrough Hamlet.

A Hamlet delegation headed by State Sen. W. D. Jame.s. chamber of commerce president Earl Covington and county commissioner Richard Conder has asked to make a presentation for the so-called shorter and faster routing of .^the major north-soiith aiiery through Richmond County. The delegation calima support from at least two other counties on the U. S. 1 route through North Carolina. Wake and Lee. and from Chesterfield County, S. C.

Highway commissioners most directly involved in the matter arc Elsie Webb of Rlchm o n d County, W. E. Horner of Lee and clf Benson of Wake.

WOMEN Secretary of State Thad Eure has compiled a detailed report on the role of women In state government since ratification of the Womans Suffrage Amendment In 1020,

Eure recited the firgures In an addi*ess In Ahoskie this week. He noted that a year atter ratification of the amendment, Lillian Exum Clement of Buncombe County was elected to the state legislature of 1921 and became the first woman to l>e elected to public office In the state.

Since then 30 women have served In the North Carolina General Assembly. Five women are members of the 1963 legislature. One woman Justice Judge Susie Sharp, serves wi the State Supreme Court branch.

For Beaufort County

Predicted development of a $25 million-a-year phosphate indu.stry in our neighboring Beaufort County within the next two to three years is exciting news not only to that county, but to Pitt and other counties in this area as well.

For several years now there has been a great deal of intere.st in the phosphate deposits discovered in Beaufort County. The most recent study made by the U.S. Geological Survey, however, has pushed excitement over prospects for this new source of economic activity to its highest pitch yet.

The study pinpointed phosphate deposits in Beaufort County a.s among the largest in the world, and its or competitive with that being mined now in other areas. Perhaps even more exciting is the prediction that by 1970 the phosphate mining industry in Beaufort County could surpass the present $52 million-a-year value of all other mining industries in North Carolina.

If the predictions prove correctand there is no reason to believe they will notthis new industry for Beaufort (bounty will have a decided effect upon the economy of the entii-e eastern section of the .state. It is almost impossible for an industry that size to develop in a specific county without allied indu.stricvs springing up in the surrounding area. The increase in the pace of economic activity in Beaufci-t (ounty caused by an industry of that magnitude could not help but influence the rate of economic development in other counties of this area as well.

The brighter future of Beaufort County indicated by the development of a new phosphate industry also makes the economic future brighter for other counties in this part of North Carolina.

Sales Bonanzas

By ROGER BABSON

BABSON PARK. Mass. Every fall I become Interested all over again In the continuing expansion of our school system, affecting every part of our country. Being an economist, I am particularly fa.scinated by the impact of the "School explosion on many different business fields.

BACK-TO-SCIIOOL

SALES BONANZA.S

It is estimated that thi.s season will see approximately 50.-IXH).000 youngsters going to school, some for the first time, most of them moving up the education ladder. Practically every state In the union Is spending more and more money on public schooling, trying desperately to keep up with the enormous Increase In the total of young citizens. Think what the.se unending expenditures mean to dealers In cement, stone, bricks, steel, glass, gravel, tile, hunber. and a wealth of additional items Involved In building, furnishing, and operating schools.

At this season, department, discount, variety, and chain stores are crammed with mothers and their youngsters buying a vast variety of back-to-school essentials; Pencils, notebooks, typewriters, shoes, raincoats, dresses, suits, sportswear. and many more. In fact, back-to-school buying Is the thii-d - largest merchandising event for such stores exceeded only by Christmas and Easter sale.s. This year, pur-cha.ses in the field are topphig those of last year by approximately 5 percent, reflecting the climb in consumer spendable income. My studies of population trends show that there will be no letriovn In sclwol building or In the purchase of .school supplies for many years to come.

RIPPLES widf:ning out

As a matter of fact, I look for the climb In school cosUs to have a steadily moi-e powerful effect on business In general over the years ahead. One line that ha.s b<>en radically changed by the swift growth of schoolagers is U*xthook.s, This

used to be a relatively conservative business, but now the textbook companies have to run tilt all the time to keep up with the need not only for more books but for new books with a modem slant. Educational proces.ses have been changed greatly, and new teaching approaches are generally employed. This means a great boom for textbook houses, and they expect sales for the current fiscal year to top last years by 10-20 percent.

Recent reports show that schoolroom furniture has become a tremendously Important biisine.ss as a result of the big splurge in school construction. Definite figures are hard to come by, but best estimates Indicate that companies which make school chairs, desks, tables, etc., are selling about $100,000,000 worth annually. Special emphasis is placed upon movable furniture, since the trend today Is toward clas.s-es of varying sizes and special groups for different categories of study.

CALIFORNIA A PRIME EXAMPLE

With California now adding people faster than any other state. It Is Interesting to look at what Is going on thei-e. As of now. the Californians are laying out more than $2.000.-000.000 a year trying to keep up with the demand for school space at all public educational levels. The scope of this demand can be graphically demonstrated when one set of figures Is shown: Back In 1947, the school population was In-cmaslng some Kl.OflO annually: at present the rate of growth Is 200,000 per year. There Is ev-er>' Indication that the gain will peisi.st.

So wide are the needs of the nations school system that a tremendous numb<*r of products are absorbed, either directly or Indirectly. So I advise my read-ei*s who manufacture goods to look Into the possibility of selling them to thase constnictlng. funiishlng, or running school.^;. Manv services may also find markets In this Important field.

Other Editors Saying Million-Dollar Drive

(The Raleigh Times)

If North Carolina Republicans can raise a million dollars for their 1964 campaign, it will be the best thing that has happened to North Carolina Democrats in yeais.

Such a Republican war chest would make It necessary for Tar Heel Democrats to separate their men from their boys, to set the men to work, and to turn their backs on the boys. For years, there have been many people who register as Democrats so that they can vote in Democratic primaries, and who then give money to Re-publican nominees and vote for Republicans. Such people have justified their tumcoating by saying that the only way they could have a voice in North Carolina government was to vote in the Democratic prim

aries.

If Republican.s do raise a million dollars and do set out to make a real campaign of the Governors race next year, that age-old and very tired excuse wont carry any more weight. People who say theyre Democrats would be expected to work for Republican nominees. People who work for Republican nominees would be expected to register Republican, to become officially what they have been actually all along.

The tnith of the matter is that North Carolina Democrats havent made any real effort,to enforce any sort of party loyalty. They have known that som'b people who buy tickets to high-priced party dinners have at the same time been'voting Republican and is working for Republican nominees. Now. it will be incumbent upon Democratic leaders to make it plain thai they dont want tP share support with Republicans, that party loyalty must be on an all or

nothing basis.

A million-dollar campaign by North Carolina Republicans also must have the good effect of turning our thousands of lazy Democrats into working Democrats. Every precinct in North Carolina has a Democratic Executive Committee of five persons, and those persons are supposed to be out working during general election campaigns. They are supposed to raise money, to ring door bells, to haul voters on election day, to do the hundreds of things which win campaings. Yet, the actual truth is that most of those precinct committeemen dont do anything.

In the face of a real Republican campaign, those committeemen would either have to work, or get out of their party jobs and make room for people w'ho would work.

In 1960, North Carolina Republican didn't make anything like a million-dollar campaign, but the gubernatorial nominee, Robert L. Gavin, received 613,-975 votes, compared with 735.-248 for Democrat Terry Sanford. Gavins vote was close to twice as much as any Republican guberaatorial nominees have ever received in North Carolina.

Maybe North Carolina Republicans wont rise a million dollars for their 1964 campaign, but any Democrats who go on the assumption that the Republicans are just talking will he making a dangerous asvsumption. North Carolina Republicans have been working, have been planning, have been picking up support in many places, and Democratic leaders must recognize all those facts.

If Democrats do recognize this Republican upsurge, they can more than meet it. If they dont recognize It, theyre courting political disaster.

Not all faculty pen-works are fiction many of them are monumental textbooks or research products in the field of their academic specialty. Dr. William S.

Before Castro, the Island of Cuba was a relatively healthy place. Its ancient scouree of yellow fever had been wiped out and typhoid and malaria had practically disappeared. The nation had a large and thriving cattle industry, which meant that the consumption o health-giving proteins was diffused among the population.

Since it takes time for any newly revolutitmary nation, no matter how badly It may be governed, to run completely downhill from a medical or a health standpoint, Fidel Castro has not yet managed to turn his country Into a pesthouse. But there are disturbing signs that he is (Ml his way to doing Just that.

The destruction of the cattle industry through confiscaUoo and ruin of efficient ranches by the Castro government would, in any case, tend to decrease the consumption of proteins to the point where deficiency diseases would begin to exact a toll. But to Castros and CSie Guevaras crazy economic Ideal as applied to cattle raising there has been added something worse. The United States De* partment of Agriculture has recently learned that the dread cattle disease of rinderpest has broken out in C?uba. And the question is whether the Castro-Ites know enough about vaccination to stop its swift spread.

Rinderpest Is a highly contagious virus which strikes suddenly and can kill a cow in just about a weeks time. It is prevalent in Central Africa, where such organizations as the European Economic C6m* munity and AID (Agency for International Development) have struggled valiantly to contain it and wipe it out. The carcasses of slaughtered animals can carry the disease, which means that meat from a rinderpest area connot be exported.

By vigorous control methods, rinderpest was wiped out in the Western Hemisphere a long time ago. Prior to its appearance in Castroa Cuba, the last outbreak of the disease In the new world (xjcurred in Brazil in 1921. The Brazilians traced the outbreak to Cuba Cattle imported form India. By slaughter and harsh quarantine measures, the disease was finally eradicated in Brazil. Just how the disease has gotten into Cuba is, of course, a subject for conjecture. It could have C9me from Soviet imports or from the Far East. Rinderpest has been endemic in Russia since the end of World War I. In the revolutionary and post - revolutionary periods in Russia, from 1917 to 1921, some six miUion head of cattle died from

it.

In addition to the threat posed by diseased meat, the Cubans are confronted by the possibility of a badly contaminated water supply. Escaped factory workers and engineers bring reports, printed in Daniel James excellent Free Cuba News, that the water systems of Havana. Camaguey and other Cuban Towns are going to pieces through a combination of sabotage and natural wear and-tear of machinery.

Says one former Havana Factory worker, Filberto Lugo:

The newspaper Revolucin pubUshed a story that the water was scarce because they were cleaning the aqueduct to Havana. They have been sa.v-ing this lor more than a month. They dont want to tell the people the truth, that three IxHnbs were placed In the aqueduct and there have been many cases of sabotage of the pipes. Now, the pipes pump muddy w'^ter twice a week. If they put more bombs there, and there is more sabotage, Havana will be left without water.,,

Jorge Fernandez VaUe, tha exiled Cuban engineer who built Havanas mcjst important aqueduct, says that the dally water consumption of the Cuban capital has dwindled from 150 million gallons to fifty million In the rainy season, and to even less in the dry. People in Havana have been queueing up for water. In Camaguey, the water system Is such straits that it can pump for only two hours a day, one In the morning and one at night.

According to Fernandez Valle, gastroenteritis and typhoid art both very much on the Increase in Cuban cities, especially among children. Each glass of water dnmk is a glass of ba-(Continued on Page 8)
